The night sky holds the knowledge of the past and

the visions of the future. It unites all people and living things. Whoever you are

and wherever you may be in the world when the sun goes down at the end of the day the stars

come out and light up the night sky. It tells you that you are not alone. The transcendence of the

starry night sky inspires you to be the bright, shining stars of tomorrow.

Tangini 2012 | 54 | Kormilda College

At Kormilda, we pride ourselves on our reputation to lead and pioneer change.

Our progressive approach to education,

learning and outcomes includes

embracing the innovative

framework of the world-

respected International

Baccalaureate (IB). Kormilda

remains the only College

in the Northern Territory

to offer the IB Diploma

as an alternative to the

NTCET. We have since

taken this further

and were delighted

to receive full

accreditation of the

acclaimed IB Middle

Years Programme

earlier this year.

Message from the Principal

Our staff are working hard to respond to the requirements of the National

Curriculum and our improved Naplan results are testament to their

continued dedication.

We have strengthened our partnership with the Larrakia Trade Training Centre

to grow trade vocations in line with the burgeoning resource and construction

sectors, and seen tremendous advancement of Indigenous Education at

Kormilda – especially within our boarding and Leadership programmes.

I’m also enormously proud of our Seniors – last year they broke all records

with a 98% pass rate and over one third of all candidates receiving ATAR’s in

the top 10% of the country. We are in good stead for another outstanding

result this year and I wish our 2012 graduates success as they move on to

life beyond the school gates.

We are leading innovation by both encouraging and promoting critical

thinking and e-learning throughout all aspects of the curriculum. These

achievements are testament to the great work and forward thinking of

my hardworking colleagues.

In closing, you will notice the new format Tangini has been presented in this

year. As we move with the times the publication has evolved from something

static into multi-channel applications that include print, digital, online, social

media and even a new-age app for the iPad! Now we can really share our story

across so many platforms whilst raising our

environmental profile.

– David Shinkfield, Principal


Another year of outstanding achievement has characterised 2012

at Kormilda College.

Students’ academic and other achievements show strong, continued progress

across the International Baccalaureate, NT Certificate of Education and Training

and the Vocational Education and Training areas.

The College Board is greatly encouraged by the results of our students and

recognises this has occurred through a working partnership between our

students, their families, staff and management.

In a year when Kormilda is continuing to deal with the effect of reduced

Commonwealth government funding and rising costs, I particularly wish to

thank the staff who have worked under difficult circumstances. As a College,

which operates from its Christian foundation, we know about ‘going the extra

mile’, and on behalf of our Board, I wish to acknowledge the contributions made

by our dedicated and hardworking staff.

Thank you also to Mr Kevin Davis, our previous Board Chair, who has stepped

down earlier this year after seven years on the Board and nearly six as our Chair.

His leadership and encouragement was a driving force as we strive to build

further opportunities for our students to achieve their full potential.

– Peter Jones

Message from the Chairman


To shift from parent to Chaplain overnight is to enter a fog. From

drop-and-run at the front of the school I segue to park-and-absorb,

absorbing with every sensate pore vibes of the macro-organism that is

a strong school.

Formerly, as I pulled up to drop and run I saw 900 nameless faces. Now

identities emerge: though I am reading Lord of the Flies in my spare time (to

remind me that not all life is a picnic), these identities are largely filled with

creativity, generosity, openness, compassion for fellow-travellers. These are

the values that a Chaplain joins dedicated staff in nurturing.

The job of a Priest was described by a former Bishop of Bathurst as

‘rumouring resurrection’: flying however inadequately a flag of love,

compassion, justice. In the lives that are emerging from the fog of my

newness to Kormilda College I see those values writ large. I’ll keep flying the

flag, but many here have been flying it long before me. My task is largely to

nurture that which is already there, with perhaps a little fine-tuning here and

there to hone a tapestry of potential.

I will continue to wear my metaphorical L-Plates for a long time yet. But as I

see the range of learning and teaching, maintenance and administration that

makes up Kormilda College I know that I am privileged to be part of a team

that is mid-wifing vibrant future leadership in the Territory, Australia and

beyond. Park-and-absorb seems pretty good to me, and fog clears.

School Captains

Parting Words for Posterity

Perhaps it was the unexpected

thrill of realising that the world

did not end at the beginning

of the New Year, but there was

certainly a mood of elevation

about the school at the start of

the first semester.

There was much to be excited about: new, photogenic school captains and the

introduction of the vertical House system.

This new pastoral care policy was a major change for some students, especially

those long-time attendees, and it has been received with mixed reviews. Some

of the negativity is, however, merely a reluctance to embrace change. The new

House system has planted the seed for greater interconnectedness in the school

community. It appears to have the potential to create a more harmonious

College society by placing a greater importance on developing House identity.

Though still in its early phases, I think that the House system will be a

distinguishing characteristic for Kormilda in the future.

My tenure as School Captain has been a largely rewarding experience. Of course,

one can only do one’s humble best, but it has been a very successful year. I have

challenged and been challenged and that is the most important thing of all.

Leaving at the end of this year, I will remember this: the Kormilda student is a

fearless combatant, formidable in character and strength. I wish you all the best

luck for the years to come! Though woefully reminiscent about finishing school

forever, I look to the future with resoundingly eager anticipation.

Message from the School

Captains2012 Through a School Captain’s Eyes

2012 was a year that I’ll always

remember. It signified the end

of everything I’ve ever known

as a student, and 2013 signifies

a new beginning.

Leading my fellow students as they experience this culmination of their school life

was an honour and a privilege. We fostered new relationships and friendships with

each other and our teachers, and I think I can speak for all of the graduating class of

2012 and the 2012 Leadership Team when I say that these friendships we formed

throughout the years were crucial to our development, as we emerge from school as

young adults, ready to see the world with fresh eyes.

The altruism seen throughout the school community was amazing, as everyone got

together to support various fundraising schemes and other causes. Most notable

was our annual Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp, where a record number

of Year 11 and 12 students gave developmentally delayed children a weekend of fun

and laughter, while their parents received much needed respite. The World’s Greatest

Shave and 40 Hour Famine campaigns were also well supported and we raised much

needed funds for both cancer research and World Vision focus country Ethiopia.

Leading the Student Representative Council this year has brought on some exciting

initiatives, such as a uniform redesign, and plans for a new garden where students

can sit and relax during breaks, and the SRC continues to be a crucial voice for the

students at Kormilda College.

2012, as a School Captain, was definitely a difficult, and at times increasingly hectic

year. The experience as a school leader has shaped me as a person throughout the

year as I grew in my own confidence. I think the role of leadership I was given has

taught me more, and given me more than any other endeavour I have undertaken at

this College and I thank my school community for enabling me to grow as a person.

I will always remember the honour that was bestowed upon me to lead my school

community and will forever learn from my experiences.


The SRC has been a wonderful experience to be a part of. As a

group we make some decisions about improvements that can be made to the

school, fun ways to fundraise and much more. It has been a brilliant opportunity with many

highlights such as the fundraising, rock climbing and the pizza lunches!

This year I was lucky enough to be part of Kormilda’s SRC. It has been both very

rewarding and challenging. It was a great opportunity to interact with other students from different year levels

and my own grade to help make a positive change to the school. This led to many interesting and often passionate debates. I was also

privileged to get the role of the SRC Secretary. This basically meant I had to record what happened in each meeting, type up the minutes and handle correspondence. It was an opportunity for me to learn what is involved in this type of role and I now feel much more comfortable taking a position

of responsibility. Our awesome School Captains and other members of the Year 12 leadership team helped us, so we can continue leading

the school next year. Thank you also to Mr Cummins for being supportive of the SRC all year.

– Kate Joyce, Year 11


Our 2012 Houses

DJARRAKThe Djarrak House were victorious in their win of the Kormilda Sports Day in Term 1, spurred on of course by the bold Djarrak Chant, created by Jahla. Other highlights also included a movie and pizza afternoon in the school auditorium that also featured lucky door prizes. The RSPCA is Djarrak’s adopted charity and a major fundraising effort was put into the Million Paws Walk.

NGANABARUHome of the mighty buffalos, led by House Captains Chris Wevill and Kiara Hicks. There is no mistaking this powerful team in purple who take to their projects with a vengeance! Their charity is the Guide Dogs NT who they supported with a major fundraiser night at the Deckchair Cinema watching Ice Age 4.

“Sports days are the types of days you remember,

when having fun and creating bonds with friends that

will last a lifetime.”– Sean Kildare, INPEX

PUMARALIThe word Pumarali is largely used in the Tiwi Islands, meaning Thunder and Lightning – a good reflection of the energy they put into their projects and charity of choice, Variety NT. Being great sportsmen (and women!) Pumarali enjoyed a good natured challenge against Pumarali staff in volleyball. It was a hard fought contest with the students coming a close second.

BARUA very busy year for Baru house with a number of impressive achievements, such as winning points with the outstanding ‘Baru War Cry’ at the Sports Gala Day; raising over $6000 for the Leukaemia Foundation’s World Greatest Shave; formation of the Baru Red Cross Charity Committee and its successful Toy Drive.

“I like that Kormilda puts on a lot of sport days.

I love sport Kormilda offers and it’s a lot!

“Athletics Day is really fun. Everyone gets into it and wants to win for

their House”.


This year there were 116 students who participated in 18 qualification levels through various training organisations across Darwin. Students select their VET course based on their future career aspirations and personal interest – the VET qualifications they gain at Kormilda prepare them as ‘job-ready’ – a huge boost to their employment prospects.

Our Vocational Industry Pathways Programme (VIPP) introduced 25 students to trial work experience placements to help them choose a VET course for next year. VIPP is an important stepping stone in the vocation process and grows the number of students in school-based apprenticeships and traineeships whilst they also complete their NTCET. Our school-based apprenticeships this year were in Hairdressing, Child Care and Diesel Mechanics.

VET students have the opportunity to attend structured work placement blocks to gain an understanding of the practical application to the skills and knowledge they gain in the classroom. These placements are hosted by local businesses including our very own maintenance department and we are very grateful of their support.

Year 9 students enjoyed a ‘hands on’ opportunity to experience a range of trades at the interactive Try a Trade event hosted by CDU Casuarina campus in May. They were able to try their hand at hairdressing on training mannequins, practice the right way to carry a tray of glasses at Hospitality and also plant seedlings and learn about horticulture.

– Jenni Smith, Head of VET

“I like that the teachers are willing to help you. There is also quite a lot of freedom when it comes to

choosing you subjects in senior school”.

“I like the different opportunities offered

at Kormilda”.

Vocational Education & Training

Outdoor and Environmental

EducationThe Kormilda College Outdoor and Environmental Education Camp Programme has continued to be a great success with the completion of another busy and dynamic camp season. Both students and

staff who attended the camps spoke highly of their experiences.

Our Outdoor and Environmental Education Programme provides a wonderful experiential learning experience that engages the students with the necessary skills to address challenges, foster proactive attitudes, be self-motivated and make informed decisions within their journey to becoming life-long learners.


Year 6 – Coomalie Creek Christian Campsite

New in 2012, the Year 6 Camp introduced students to the developmental

sequence of Kormilda’s Camp Programme.

Utilising Coomalie Creek Christian Campsite, students participated in activities and challenges to gain a foundation of bush

experiences and prepare them for future journeys as well as an increased understanding

and awareness about themselves, others and their environment. Students participated in

activities designed to increase their inter-personal relationships, swimming,

canoeing, campfire cooking, bush art and some evening music.

Year 7 – Litchfield National ParkYear 7 Camp was held in Litchfield National Park at the Buley Rockhole and

Florence Falls campsites as well as the Environmental Education Centre.

The students enjoyed an array of activities including bushwalking, swimming and rock jumping, slack lining, raft building, a bush tucker walk and a number of other initiative challenges. Snorkelling in the Florence Falls plunge pool was

a highlight for students as they explored what lay beneath the surface in the crystal clear waters.


Year 8 – Hayes Creek RegionThe Year 8 Camp was held in the Douglas Daly Region.

This included the beautifully isolated gorge system of Depot Creek, with its steep red sandstone cliffs and meandering

watercourse including a number of terraced rock pools. The students enjoyed swimming, fishing and rock

jumping along the creek and exploring the local eco-system on a gorge explore.

This year, for the first time within this programme, students also participated in an introduction to rock climbing in

the Hayes Creek climbing area, challenging themselves on

a number of climbs in this naturally stunning

location.

Other activities on camp included bushwalking, mountain bike

riding, camp fire cooking, initiative games and even a bush cinema.

Year 9 – Umbrawarra Gorge/Jindare StationTerm 3 began with our unique Year 9 Camp in the stunningly secluded

Jindare Station and Umbrawarra Gorge Region.

It is a spectacular area that protects an exceptional sandstone gorge system with steep purple water-polished cliffs. Groups moved through a journey-

based programme independent from one another and participated in activities including abseiling, rock climbing and mountain bike riding.

Students were also introduced to planning, preparing and shopping for their own camp menu. Students then prepared and cooked for themselves.


Year 10 – Lake ArgyleConcluding our camp season was the

pinnacle of our Programme – Lake Argyle.

Groups of Year 10 students spent seven days kayaking and canoeing in this unique

wilderness environment. While living on and around Australia’s largest body

of fresh water, students experienced this remote Kimberley region of North-Eastern Western

Australia as very few people do. This vast expanse of water provides a wilderness experience far removed

from the modern complications of our current world.

Activities included abseiling down a 12m cliff and into the water below, exploring a secluded gorge in the

Northern section of the lake that finishes with a natural rock slide, a night paddle, camp oven roast and fishing.

Kormilda actively engages with the community through several projects, fundraisers and events, including a strong presence at Freds Pass and Darwin Shows.

This year was Kormilda’s seventh Sony Foundation Camp and hailed one of the best yet, with over 60 Year 11 and 12 volunteers and 12 staff providing a

weekend of fun activities to children with special needs.

Harmony Week was also another resounding success with this year’s special theme ‘Everybody Belongs’, focusing on inter-cultural harmony.

Kormilda in the Community


Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp Kormilda’s seventh Sony Foundation Camp was declared one of the best yet! It was held on campus in Gumimba at the end of Term 2. Thirty-five Year 11 students attended training sessions during Terms 1 and 2 to prepare them for the task of 24-hour care. There were also twenty-six Year 12 activity assistants (the biggest Year 12 cohort ever) who organised all of the activities over the three days of the camp.

The day before the camp commenced, Year 11 students went through the care plans for the 14 special guest campers arriving the next day guided by the Year 12 students who provided support and scenarios for them to work through.

On Friday morning the campers arrived, all excited about being away from home for three days. We visited Palmerston Aquatic Centre for a refreshing swim and then had free time with the equipment from the Darwin Toy Library. In the afternoon the CSIRO taught everyone how to make five different types of slime.

On Saturday we made our way to the Territory Wildlife Park and enjoyed the Birds of Prey at the Flight Deck. Back at Kormilda we were visited by Chantal the Fairy for face painting and some magic. Students also made robots from an assortment of materials. After dinner, the students were joined by Toy Story characters for a disco. The Flexible Learning Space in the library had been transformed into a magical blanket fort and the second half of Toy Story 3 was completed.

The last day, Sunday, was Cup Cake decorating and a farewell lunch in the Mayuma room. During lunch, the Camp DVD was shown to the parents and a small gift of a framed photo of the student and their carers was presented to each camper.


Harmony WeekHarmony Day is held around Australia on 21st March each year. It’s a day when all Australians celebrate cultural diversity. This year the theme was ‘Everyone Belongs’

– a focus on all aspects of inter-cultural harmony, inclusiveness and respect that make Australia such a great place to live.

Kormilda traditionally celebrates Harmony Day over a week and each house hosted a guest speaker from many different walks of life.

Each day during Harmony week, the dining room served a different international dish, and there was also a range of international films in the auditorium at lunchtimes.

Various sporting matches were held across the campus, including the popular tug-of-war in the quadrangle.

Reflecting on Anzac DayAnzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.

These days it more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries. People who have literally taken their lives in their hands and have stood for freedom and truth in the face of adversity.

As Christians we identify very strongly with Anzac Day and the sentiments and themes it celebrates. Themes of sacrifice, service and loyalty: Sentiments of love and generous giving of self.

With these themes in mind we laid a wreath at Kormilda College to empathise with the wider community as we all mark Anzac Day. We remember those who gave up their lives for their loved ones and for what they believed was right and good and true.

Flight Lieutenant David Woerner, a former student of the College, shared a commemoration with the student body about Darky and his story. Darky was a member of the 2nd Australian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery. Mr Frank Haydock played The Last Post, followed by one-minute silence and a period of reflection.

Kormilda College has been committed to educating Indigenous students

from remote Australian communities for over 20 years. It is our vision to ensure that

Indigenous students have access to a high quality secondary education.

At the forefront of ‘closing the gap’ for remote Indigenous secondary students, Kormilda’s ambitious target is to ensure that all its graduates leave the College with the skills they require to become active citizens. Indigenous students are treated no differently than any others. To close the gap we must have equal expectations of all students. Intensive literacy and numeracy classes in Middle Years lead to mainstream, VET and apprenticeship opportunities in the Senior Years.

Indigenous students at Kormilda College, similarly to every other student, are aspiring doctors, lawyers, nurses, childcare workers, engineers, construction trade workers, miners, policemen, teachers, politicians, rangers etc.

The opportunities that a Kormilda College education brings are only limited by the aspirations and dreams

of the students themselves.

Strong GirlsThe Strong Girls Room opened at the beginning of Term 3. The Room provides girls with a safe and secure place to engage with each other. The programme promotes self-worth and provides social and emotional support for all girls.

Strong Girls also has a wider goal of promoting healthy life skills and positive mindsets for our young girls. The programme gives girls the opportunity to receive support on a wide range of issues or concerns.

The room is set up for fun and interactive learning experiences. Term 4 has seen a few of the girls attending a girls programme with Danila Dilba. They are cooking and cleaning, learning healthy eating, hygiene tips and looking after their mental health.

The Strong Girls room has proved to be a huge success.

– Monique Gorham, Restorative Officer

“Strong Girls gives us a fun, happy place to go

to at lunchtime”.

“Fun and friendly place to hang out”.

Junior RangersThe MESL 2 Junior Rangers have had a busy year, learning about a range of environmental issues. In addition, they have attended a number of excursions.

These excursions included field trips to Howard Springs, Palmerston Herbarium, Greening Australia, Windows on the Wetlands, Knuckey Lagoon and Territory Wildlife Park. Kormilda Junior Rangers were also special delegates at the Landcare Awards in Sydney, and Melbourne as part of the ‘Kids teaching Kids’ programme.

Junior Rangers have seen first hand how to prepare native seeds, learned about recycling, invertebrates, frog conservation and native flora and fauna of the wetlands – among a number of fascinating topics.


Term 1 Students learnt about trees and plants. They attended excursions to Howard Springs for a treasure hunt with Ranger Ally (who has sadly left to travel). They also listened to Ranger Louise, who talked about the history of Howard Springs. They then fed the turtles and barramundi along with students from Katherine High, who stayed at Kormilda overnight.

The students visited the Palmerston Herbarium, where Dr Short (a parent of previous and current Kormilda students) explained the importance of the herbarium and how it operates. Back at school, students made their own detailed, dried plant specimens. Next, Junior Rangers visited Greening Australia and learned about plant identification and taxonomy, and shared their knowledge of bush tucker with Greg Leach. Finally, the Junior Rangers went to Charles Darwin University Horticulture Centre and learnt how to prepare native seeds (a species of acacia and grevillea) for planting.

Term 2During Term 2 the students looked at waterways and attended the Top End Sustainable Festival. Here, they spent a session with Costa, who shared his genuine and enthusiastic love of gardening with the students. They also learnt about cane toad eradication from Graham Sawyer and carried out activities involving recycling and saving power. They went to Windows on the Wetlands, where a ranger told them about the history of the wetlands and the students spent some time in the interactive section of the building, learning about all the native flora and fauna of the area and how they are adapted for living in the wetlands.

Another session consisted of students visiting Knuckey Lagoon where they were met by Ranger Jen and Anna from Frog Watch. After netting samples from the lagoon, they tipped these into buckets then took them back to the grassy area. Here the bucket contents were tipped into white trays, then inspected carefully for macro invertebrates. They discovered from the identification sheets that the types of invertebrates found indicate that Knuckey Lagoon is a healthy body of water.


Term 3Term 3 was a busy term, where the roles were reversed and the students took control of their own learning. They became involved in the Kids Teaching Kids Programme, where students take an interest in a particular topic, find out more about it by researching and asking experts, then teach this information to other students. The venue was the Territory Wildlife Park, where the Junior Rangers learnt about aspects of the aviary, aquarium and Oolloo Sand Bar for five weeks. On the Thursday of Week 7, the Year 6 students ventured out to the park and the Junior Rangers taught them what they had learnt from research and rangers at the park.

Also in this term, Gavin and Cameron Dhurrkay went down to Sydney to represent the school as finalists for the Westpac Educational Awards. This was an event organised by Landcare Australia, and was a memorable occasion. They spent the day at Taronga Zoo, then attended a huge black-tie gala dinner at the Convention Centre. The students were fantastic.

Term 4Our first lesson this term was spent preparing a water warrior shield for the Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids International Conference. During Week 2, five students travelled to Melbourne to attend the two day conference. The first day consisted of water-type activities (frog conservation, slowing down run-off and preventing rubbish entering our waterways). Our students were invited to share their stories on the radio (wire.org.au), which was broadcast to Indigenous radio stations around Australia. There was a gala dinner that evening with a range of presenters. Kormilda students presented the Managing Director of Target with a beautifully framed photo of Kakadu (taken by Katie Cummins – a Kormida Science teacher) as an acknowledgement for sponsoring the school to attend the event. The second day was filled with students presenting workshops to explain what they do with their school to promote sustainability.

If the Junior Rangers win sponsorship to attend this conference in the future, maybe they will take part in teaching other students about what sustainable practices they are involved in around Darwin – watch this space...


Clontarf AcademyThe Clontarf Foundation has enjoyed another year of strong progress and positive impacts on the young Indigenous men at Kormilda.

Young Academy members enjoyed the Top End Year 7 Carnival at Sanderson and the Senior team successfully defended its Territory Cup title. The Kormilda College Dragons went through the competition undefeated! Seniors also travelled to Daly River to spend time in classrooms with primary students, meet the local elders and visit the Merrepen Arts Centre.

The Clontarf Foundation has enjoyed a year of strong progress with the Kormilda Academy, continuing to have a positive impact on the young Indigenous men at Kormilda College. Members of the Academy have enjoyed a very successful 2012 on the sporting fields, in the classroom and in the community as a whole, with many of the seniors beginning to set their sights on life beyond school.

After seeing two Academy members complete Year 12 in 2011, we have seen that number swell to eight in 2012, with two Year 11 students also expecting to enter the workforce in 2013.

Throughout the Academy we have seen many young men grow more closely attached to the Clontarf programme and, at the same time, feel a greater sense of identity with Kormilda College.

The staff of the Kormilda Academy would like to thank all College staff and students who have supported us in our work in 2012 and look forward to working with you all again in 2013.

Major Highlights

The youngest members of the academy enjoyed a great start to life with Clontarf and Kormilda when they joined in the Top End Year 7 Carnival at Sanderson in Term One. It was a great induction to the programme and the group travelled along well in 2012.

The Kormilda Academy Senior team successfully defended its Clontarf Foundation Territory Cup title, held at Casuarina Secondary College late in Term 2.

The Dragons trained solidly for a term and went through the competition undefeated, beating the Tennant Creek Academy in the final.

Senior students travelled to Daly River for a two-night community service camp, spending time in the classrooms with primary students, meeting with local elders and visiting the Merrepen Arts Centre. It was a great opportunity for the group to learn and develop a greater respect for the people of Daly River.

The Kormilda Academy played host to staff and friends of Leightons Contractors, a partner of the Clontarf Foundation, for

a friendly AFL game early in Term 3. The boys enjoyed the chance to meet and thank a strong supporter of our programme and show the

Leightons group what we do best.

Clontarf has helped me complete Year 12 and stay fit. It has also helped me become

a good role model for other students.

– Tyrone Burns (Year 12)

“Clontarf is a lot of fun and we get to go on camps and

other activities where we mix with other Clontarf academies as well as

people from different places and communities.”

– Jacob McAdam-Roberts


SEAL 1-6: LifestyleThis term the students have been investigating cultures and customs from different countries. These pictures were taken during an exploration of Halloween where the emphasis was on the Christian traditions associated with All Hallow’s Eve.

We used apples to make into fun and healthy snacks for children.

Anyone for a healthy snack?… Halloween style.

“Dressing up is fun in Lifestyle. We can pretend to

be anyone we want. Sometimes I pretend to be a nurse and help

everyone in the group. – Anthea Lawrence”

Students from SESL1 are studying the Certificate 1 in Gaining Access to Training and Employment. SESL 1 have set up an Art Business for the Enterprise unit and are preparing their paintings for auction.


Students from SESL1 and SIV attend the baking programme at CDU one week each term. Students work in teams to produce bread, biscuits, cakes and slices.

Students read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” as part of a SOSE unit on the bombing of Darwin. Students have learnt to make origami cranes and puppets as part of an introduction to other cultures.

MESL 2 Indigenous Education ClassMESL 2 Accelerated Literacy class studied the book Stunt Kid by Jim Howes. They looked at how authors choose words and language to make you really feel for the characters.

The students from MESL 2 have been learning how authors create tone and mood in their writing by studying the book The File of Rosemount Creek by Jim Hawes. Students have been doing some writing of their own with a formal letter which creates a “knowledgeable” tone. We have also been learning about formal and informal writing by practising emails and writing facsimiles.

“UFOs and strange sightings in the night sky. Don’t know about

those residents from Rosemount Creek. Sounds like they’re all crackpots - or - could there be something

happening there?”


Connie Dhurrkay, Renata Patterson, Sonya Ward, Cian Tyson, Rose Peris, Keanu Bob, Kevin Chubb, Jayvin Keighran, Kendrick Hector, Kristen Ottwil.

The Year 10 students participated in work experience across the CDU Casuarina campus in areas such as: aquaculture, maintenance, sports and recreation, childcare, office administration. All the students thoroughly enjoyed their time at CDU.

The fifth Year 12 Community Service and Cultural project took place during the mid year holidays visiting Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

Students became involved in a water filtration project in the rural province of

Vietnam’s Bac Ninh, visited Laotian students for English conversation practice and also visited an orphanage in Cambodia before seeing the great Ankor Wat Temple.

The New Zealand Ski & Snowboard trip experienced 10 cold days in

Queenstown at the famous slopes of the Remarkables and Coronet Peak.

They even saw a Maori Haka and learnt more about the Maori culture.

Kormilda also had a second visit from its Indonesian partner school, SMA Negeri 15 Surabaya. There were a number of

activities including the Celebration of Languages, RSPCA Million Paws Walk and a

formal function at the Indonesian consulate.

International Trips and Projects


Participating in the Year 12 Community Service Project to Asia was an amazing experience. I will

never forget working with the Red Cross and building bio-sand filters. The people

of Vietnam were so welcoming. – Kate Bremner. Yr 12

Year 12 Community Service and Cultural ProjectThe fifth Year 12 Community Service and Cultural project took place during the holidays. The seven students and two teachers who visited Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos were:

StudentsKate Bremner, Melinda Kern, Madeleine Murray, Jessica Grumelart, Jamie Popple, Jonathon Day, Joao Andrade.

TeachersKay Pisel, Shane Shedden.

Our first destination was Hanoi in Vietnam. During our stay in Hanoi we volunteered at a school and participated in their conversational English lessons with young Vietnamese adults. We then travelled to Bac Ninh province where a Biosand Filter project has been in operation for four years. This project has placed over 1100 Biosand Filters in houses and schools throughout this rural province. We worked at the Dao Commune administrative headquarters learning how to construct, install, operate and maintain the filters which are basically a concrete tank filled with gravel and sand. The householder puts water in the top of the filter and clean water eventually drips through for collection and safe drinking. Over the three days we were able to build and install three filters, monitor four and clean three.

From here, we travelled to Luang Prabang in Laos where we had organised a Big Brother Mouse Party in the Pak Sy Village on the Mekong River – approximately 35 kilometres upstream. Big Brother Mouse is a bi-lingual literacy project and over the last four years Kormilda has provided more than 1200 books for nine school libraries. We performed several songs and the Hokie Pokie for the 40-50 Laos students at the party and stayed overnight to give alms to the four monks living there at 6am the next morning.

For the next couple of days we volunteered at the Luang Prabang office of Big Brother Mouse where Laotian students drop in for 1-2 hours to have productive conversational English sessions with foreigners. We also travelled by Long Boats down the Mekong River to Pak Ou Caves where thousands of Buddha statues are kept.

Our last destination on the trip was Cambodia, where we headed to the Sunrise Children’s Village and presented the children with Australian gifts. Then it was on to Siem Reap to visit the Angkor Wat Temple at sunrise. This is the largest temple complex in the world and it provided us with some spectacular views at 4:30 am. Lastly we visited the Cambodian War Museum which was very confronting.

We all enjoyed our time away and we hope to return next year, especially to be able to continue making the Biosand filters.

– Kate Bremner and Madeleine Murray, Yr 12

For me staying in Pak Si village in Laos was incredible. We journeyed

up the Mekong River on our own boat and then made our way into the village via the mud.

Staying overnight and having a Big Brother Mouse party with the children of the village

is something I will never forget. The children were amazing. – Madeleine Murray. Yr 12.


Indigenous Youth Leadership Programme: China tripThe IYLP scholarship students visited China this term as a cultural experience visiting Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai seeing the Terracotta Warriors, The Great Wall of China and The Forbidden City.

Global Community Chody Lemos, a 17-year-old orphan from Timor Leste, is a boarding student at Kormilda College, sponsored by The Rotary Club of Dili.

He tragically lost his mum and dad and most of his siblings to tuberculosis when he was just nine years old. He also suffered terribly from the disease.

Chody has enriched the lives of Darwin’s Swinstead and Easton families who enjoy his regular visits. He has become an older brother to William 7 and Maddie 4, and part of the family to their parents Rebecca and Dan and grandparents Brenda and Julian.

Chody has shown the family many things – including the privileged lives we have in Australia, compared to his home in Dili that has no running water, aircon and very few treats.

This extended family are only too happy to ensure he will complete his education at Kormilda by continuing his sponsorship next year. They will also support the orphanage where Chody came from.

Kormilda encourages the Darwin community to help other kids like Chody gain a better future and consider sponsorship programmes or through homestay boarding support.


New Zealand Ski & Snowboard TripThe New Zealand Ski and Snowboard trip 2012 was amazing! 29 students, ranging from Year 8 through to Year 11 got to experience 10 cold days in Queenstown, New Zealand – which we will never forget.

We stayed at Pinewood lodge, a convenient 5 minutes walk from the centre of Queenstown. This made shopping trips easy, when we were able to break away from the teachers for short periods of time… or for them to escape us, and then carry all our stuff back to the lodge!!

We shared lots of funny moments throughout the trip, with people doing many stunts on their first day of skiing and snowboarding. Personally, I decided to ski and got the hang of it easily, though it was challenging using one ski in the first day’s lesson.

As a group of people who didn’t really know each other before, we faced many challenges that brought us closer. The first days were hard, as the weather was much colder than Darwin; we were in a different environment that brought us out of our comfort zones, however with everyone’s support we felt safe.

Our first two days on the snow at the Remarkables was heaps of fun. We got the chance to go tubing and practice using the chair lifts for the first time. For the other three days of skiing we headed up to Coronet Peak, where we continued to improve our skills skiing and boarding – or taking in the atmosphere the café had to offer! It was great to experience a different mountain which also provided a new setting for us to explore. The more adventurous people headed up the big chair lift going down the ‘M1’ run or black slopes. Skiing or snowboarding down the slopes with our friends definitely challenged most of us, but by the last few days we were all pros.

Going up the gondola to the luge and the haka experience was a great day and opened our eyes to a different culture. The Maoris of the Haka Experience gave us the

opportunity to witness some of their ways and also delegated the chief of our ‘clan’, Chief Vincent. We also went

ice-skating on two separate occasions. The first included a lesson and the second was disco night on Friday.

Overall, the trip was amazing and I’m sure that everyone who went on it will never forget the memories we

made. I would recommend it to any student up for a challenge and who would want to experience an unforgettable time with their friends.

– Emily Furniss


Bridge 2012Kormilda College hosted a second visit from our Indonesian partner school, SMAN 15 Surabaya from Thursday 17 May to Friday 25 May 2012. The visiting group consisted of 25 students (out of 80 original applicants) and three teachers, including the main organising teacher who visited the first time in 2011, Ibu Enny Rochayu Endang Mintowati.

The visit was a part of the Building Relationships through Intercultural Dialogue and Growing Engagement (BRIDGE) Project. Kormilda College is one of many schools around Australia which embarked in March 2009 on this project aimed at forging ongoing school-to-school relationships between Australia and Indonesia.

I have made a new friend at Kormilda, Keely Sheppard, she is my

guide. She is so kind to me. We walked around the College and she gave me information about the school. We went to the Careers Centre

to learn a “Personal Learning Plan” by Mrs Monica Bowland. That class is so clean, I loved it.

I found all at Kormilda very kind. I was sad to leave my new found friends.

– Yudhi Huliselan.

The purpose of the second visit was to build on the first by providing an opportunity for Kormilda students and teachers to increase their knowledge and understanding of Indonesia, strengthen their Indonesian language skills and build professional and personal networks with Indonesian educators and students. The visit also provided an opportunity for the Indonesian students and teachers to increase their knowledge and understanding of Australia, strengthen their English language skills and build professional and personal networks with Australian educators and students. During their stay the SMAN 15 Surabaya students and teachers were billeted with Kormilda families and attended classes each day with the host Kormilda students and teachers.

Key words used by Kormilda students to describe how they have grown and developed as individuals from this experience: responsibility, communication, friendship, understanding, tolerance, patience, open-mindedness, awareness, confidence, appreciation.

“I have really enjoyed this whole experience. It really is an eye-opener about how different their lives in Indonesia are compared to ours in Darwin. I have never been to Indonesia before but I would love to one day. All I ever hear about is Bali, but this experience has made me realise that there is more to Indonesia than JUST Bali and someday my family and I will go to Surabaya.”

– Yr 10 student.


During one of our Indonesian lessons we did a Skype video call with the students and teachers of one of our partner schools in Indonesia, SMA Negeri 15 Surabaya. The students and teachers have all visited Kormilda College, some visited this year while others visited during 2011. We discussed finishing Year 12 and applying for university scholarships, as well as Indonesian Independence Day which will be celebrated on Friday 17 August. We also talked about Ramadan, the month of fasting currently being observed by Muslims worldwide. We have planned to Skype with them every few weeks and our next discussion will be about Indonesian music.

– Jasmine Alm, Zenia Xie & Edward Short, Year 12 IB Indonesian

On Friday 18 May, Kormilda College Languages Faculty presented its annual Celebration of Languages Evening in the Dumabudla Centre. The evening showcases to the Kormilda Community what our students can do in the second language they are learning. Items ranged from short plays and skits, a combined trilingual Year 7 Rap Song in Indonesian, Spanish and French, individual songs in Rambarranga language, a presentation on being an exchange student in France with a Year 12 Spanish Rap finale.

Highlights of the evening included the Cultural Performance by 25 students from our BRIDGE partner school SMA N 15 Surabaya Indonesia as well as the high quality of Individual Year 12 Oral presentations in Indonesian, Spanish and French on such diverse topics as Australia – Indonesia Relations, Deforestation, Coral Reefs in Indonesia, A Portrayal of Women in Cinema, The challenges of the Mahgreb in their efforts to adapt to a new life in France, as well as humorous accounts about Colombia and Brazil.

The evening was an outstanding success and congratulations go to each of the students who participated. Students gained House Points for their participation.

Art is a means of communication, which originates in the mind. It is an academic pursuit that involves creativity, problem

solving and technical skill. It grows from the human experience, feelings and thought, and is a reflection of the society in which it is created. Visual art is about

expressing an idea, concept or theme visually – it’s about telling a story.

This year students have used a range of art techniques including: drawing, painting, ceramics, textiles, sculpture and mixed media to create artworks that express their ideas and themes.

These students have also learnt about visual literacy and how to analyse artwork. Senior students have conceptually developed artworks based on a theme

that reflects issues and topics that are personally relevant to them.

Design is about designing and making products

according to set parameters, called the design brief and the

design specifications. In subjects such as graphic design, textiles and product design students use the design cycle to research, design, plan, create and evaluate a range of products. This year they have made business cards, book sleeves, soft toys and even

recycled fashion items.

Year 12 NTCET ArtVisual Arts students follow the SACE Board of Studies curriculum. This requires them to produce two works of art with accompanying visual arts folios and artist’s statements and produce a separate 2000 word visual study.

Contemporary visual art is all about expressing ideas, themes and stories in a visual way. It is as much about the concept as the technical skill required to create an artwork. This year the students have decided to work in a range of mediums from paper to textiles to express their ideas and this requires many hours researching artists, documenting ideas and experimenting with mediums in order to create their own unique artworks. We wish them all the best as they continue on their visual journeys!

IB Visual Art ExhibitionIB Visual Art students Jessica Pickering and Claire Marron have spent the last two years researching and analysing artworks and responding in a personal way to issues of interest to them. Jess’s artworks embrace the female form with a heavy emphasis on technique in the classic style while Claire’s art is a conceptual representation of the Cycle of Life – from conception, childhood, through to Adolescence, Adulthood and beyond. These two students have worked extremely hard on their Investigation workbooks which are closely linked to their studio work.

Art is a means of communication, which originates in the mind. It is an academic pursuit that involves creativity, problem solving and technical skill. It grows from the human experience, feelings and thought, and is a reflection of the society in which it is created. Visual art is about expressing an idea, concept or theme visually – it’s about telling a story. As Michelangelo once said “A man paints with his brains and not with his hands”.


Year 9 Learning about ShiboriIn Year 9 Textiles we have been learning about Shibori. Shibori is a Japanese term for dyeing cloth using Indigo. The cloth is stitched, clamped, binded and folded to create resist patterns on the fabric which are then placed into an Indigo vat. Indigo is a blue dye derived from the plant Indigofera.

In class we used rocks and ropes to bind cotton and calico, which we put in our own Indigo vat for five minutes. The tied cloth was then placed in the sun to oxidize before being rinsed, untied and hung out to dry. Our next project will be to create textile jewellery from the Indigo dyed fabrics.

Working with Clay – Beauty and the Body Year 8 Visual Art students studied Beauty & the Body. By studying art history they were able to see how the concept of beauty has changed through the ages and how this has been documented in painting, sculpture and photography. Students were then to create their own ceramic torso of a woman in all shapes and sizes. Using the Chinese born artist Ah Xian who is now based in Australia as inspiration, students underglazed their torso’s in various designs before bisque firing at 1100 degrees in the kiln and then applying a gloss glass layer before another firing. Working with clay on a large scale can be a challenging exercise for students as it requires a combination of risk taking and patience. These students however rose to the challenge with excellent results!


Year 9 Textile Design with a Twist!Jewellery is no longer dominated by silver, gold and gemstones. Textiles are coming into jewellery design in a big way these days. This term the Year 9 Textile Design students have been designing and making textile jewellery and embellishments.

Students were able to use a range of textiles from felt to leather to make items such as key rings, broaches, bracelets, earrings, pendants and bookmarks. Felt is a non-woven cloth that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing woollen fibres. With dyed wool tops, students learnt to felt using two methods – needle felting and wet felting. Here we see Kelly Gahan showing us her paper flower.

What a year its been for our sporting calendar! With so many top-class highlights it’s impossible to cover them all, though some of the true stand-outs include:

Our annual Sports Day was held in March, opened by Mr Sean Kildare of INPEX. The

Athletic Shield was won once again by Baru. Our cricketers have enjoyed

a sensational year defending their title against Singapore and even played against Nepal. Our

girls netball team also fought an international match against the

UK’s Epsom College. Former world tennis champion Evonne Goolagong Cawley provided

some welcome tennis skills and NT Rugby hosted a ‘have a go’ session to

raise awareness for 7’s Rugby.

Our AFL team was victorious, winning the Quit Now Cup and our Clontarf Academy were named

champions within the Clontarf carnival.

Sport at Kormilda


Sports Days 2012Kormilda College held its annual Sports Day on Tuesday March 27th. The day opened with a cool morning with much anticipation of fun with friends, as well as friendly rivalry on the field. Kormilda College was privileged to have the General Manager of INPEX, Mr Sean Kildare open the day with a rousing speech stating “sports days are the types of days you remember, when having fun and creating bonds with friends that will last a lifetime”.

The atmosphere was one of relaxed enjoyment, with additional activities such as chess and singstar for those of a more sedentary persuasion. Background music was also appreciated, with the Year 7 students creating an impromptu “flash-dance”.

Costumes were colourful and points were neck and neck until the last ear deafening house chant – judged by the Kormilda College Principal, Mr David Shinkfield. Congratulations go to Djarrak, the well deserved winners of the day.

Sports Carnival – MarraraThe eagerly anticipated Kormilda College Athletics day was held at Arafura Stadium on the 22nd of May. On a beautiful sun-drenched day each of the four houses fiercely contested the Athletics shield held by the 2011 champions, Baru. Events ranged from the middle distance 800m right through to the sprints and very popular High Jump, Long Jump and throwing events. As the day wore on points tally updates confirmed the close battle which was ensuing for champion house.

It all came down to the exciting and always dramatic Relay events to determine who would claim the trophy. All students came back to their houses, cheered and chanted for their colours as the thrilling final events panned out. The nervous wait then for the announcement of Age Champions and House Champion was agonising, however, sweet victory prevailed for Baru House who then flocked onto the Track.

“Athletics Day is really fun. Everyone gets into it and wants to win for

their House”.

“I like that Kormilda puts on a lot of sport days.

I love sport Kormilda offers and it’s a lot!


The top performing students from the Athletics day were invited to compete for the College at the Darwin Athletics cluster. We had 40 students competing for the school in what was a competitive event with most of the schools from Darwin and the rural areas taking part. From this event students were then formally invited to the Northern Territory Athletics Championships and Kormilda sent a strong contingent of Athletes, many who came away with Medals and were invited to compete in the National All-Schools championships in Tasmania.

The following students participated in the NT championships and they are to be congratulated on their fantastic achievement.

Jack Dalton, Sebastian Gawan, David Henry-Whiting, Wally Brooks, Lachlan Downie, Maia Hubert, Luke Mcadams-Roberts, Kenya Mcadams-Roberts, Kirsten Scott.

CricketIt has been an extraordinary year of outstanding highlights for Kormilda’s cricket teams.

International challenges have included a match against Nepal’s Under 19 team, who enjoyed their stay at Kormilda’s boarding facilities whilst on their way to the recent World Cup in Brisbane. Whilst out-classed by the visitors, the Kormilda boys displayed impressive bowling and enjoyed the competitive spirit of such a high-level game. Victory was delivered in the two games Kormilda played against the Singapore Cricket academy during the annual event in Term 2.

Earlier in the year Kormilda’s 1st XI travelled to Adelaide where we challenged a number of South Australia’s leading colleges including Trinity, St Peters, Prince Alfred, Woodcroft and Westminster. The Under 15 Development Squad also travelled to Alice Springs winning two of four games against strong competitors.

Kormilda is the only school in the Territory to offer a turf cricket wicket, meticulously maintained by a full time curator. Our highly regarded cricket development programme has produced a number of successful representatives for both the Territory and Australian teams.

I had an excellent learning experience in Alice.

Captaining was fun. I enjoyed the bonding with new students and

teachers. We all had a great time.

Stefan Ludwig Yr 9.


Girls Netball vs Epsom CollegeKormilda College had a taste of international Netball in Week 5 this Term when we welcomed the touring Epsom College from Surrey in the UK. Epsom, who had been travelling around Australia and were staying in our boarding houses, brought three strong Netball outfits to play our girls.

In the lead up to the games our girls had been training hard under the guidance of Mrs Elliston and Ms Gabolinscy, in addition to our new Chaplain, the always sprightly umpire Father Michael.

The girls were then selected into their teams and arrived at Marrara Netball courts to get the games underway against our British counterparts. The C and B teams were the first to get started and our girls put up a brave effort against two very well drilled and experienced teams to unfortunately go down 25 – 9 for the B team and 26 – 11 for the C team.

The A game was up next and both sides were equally matched up in what was a closely fought affair between two strong sides. Kormilda held a one point advantage after the first quarter, however, Epsom fought back hard to wrestle the momentum and going into the last quarter they were a mere one point in front. The English team did pull away a little in the final few minutes in what was a great atmosphere to watch Netball with all of the other teams cheering on.

After the match we exchanged memorabilia and headed back to the school where we had some time to meet with the girls.

AFL2012 was a successful year for our AFL programme at Kormilda College. Both the senior and middle school boys were involved in a number of competitions with the first team finishing as champions of the ‘Quit Now Cup’ and the Clontarf academy side victorious in the annual Clontarf carnival. The middle school boys also had a successful year, competing in the Northern States Cup and finishing just outside the top three, in addition to playing against Dripstone Middle School for the Hot 100 Cup and the gala day against Good Shepard Lutheran School and Taminmin High School.


Health & PE WeekHealth + PE Week is an initiative from the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Victorian Branch.

During the Health + PE Week celebration, schools are encouraged to promote health and physical education within the school and local community.

Health + PE Week also highlights the importance and value of leading a healthy and active lifestyle, through the promotion of health and physical education.

At Kormilda we had various events supporting Physical Education Week and visitors telling the students how to live a healthy life style.

Organ Donation and Cancer CouncilYear 11 students had the opportunity to engage in a presentation by Lisa Picone and Justine Clarke from Donate Life from the Royal Darwin Hospital on Organ Donation during Health and Physical Education week. The talk was informative and outlined the truths and untruths about organ donation within Australia.

Year 8 had the opportunity to learn about the dangers of cancer in our society, in particular the causes and prevention of skin cancer. The talk was informative and students were able to share their experiences and ask questions about the best ways to stay sun safe.

Run around the WorldKormilda students took part in a 1km fun run in collaboration with schools from around Australia to promote Physical Education day.

NT SwimmingKormilda students have had the opportunity to be coached by the NT Swimming Development Officer over the past few weeks. They have been working on their stroke and speed through the water, but also having fun in the process.

We got to represent our House and in the end we won

the relay! It was a great experience and I encourage all students to take up swimming. It is a lot of

fun and good exercise.

Azra Cooper Yr 7


RugbyAustralian Representative Beau Delacruz and Matthew Connop from NT Rugby ran a ‘have a go’ session for our boys and girls to raise awareness for 7’s Rugby. The students gained some useful tips from the experienced trainers which came in handy particularly for the boys when they took part in the NT schools 7’s competition at Marrara sports complex.

It was a good opportunity to bond with

fellow students.

Andrew Illingworth Yr 10.

Girls AFLKormilda have been competing in the AFL Northern Territory U16 Girl’s Sports Ready Cup as a lead in to the AFL season. The girls have been training hard for the competition at Marrara football ground, and have put in some impressive performances in the early games thus far.

It was fun playing with my friends.

Anthea Lawrence Yr 8


TennisEvonne Goolagong Cawley took a number of our students to learn some tennis skills in Term 2 for her indigenous Tennis foundation. Congratulations to Rose Peris who was selected to undertake some specialised coaching.

I was fortunate to meet the tennis legend, Evonne

Goolagong at an excursion we had at the College. She told us about her life and how she won tournaments. She watched us playing a few games.

I enjoyed the Tennis.

Middle School Swim Team Champions

Congratulations to our victorious middle school swim team (Brody Taylor, Anna Bergs, Paris McCabe and Azra Cooper) who took out first place at the recent PARCS Swimming Carnival at Palmerston Pools. This event acts as the selection for the Northern Territory Swimming Championships to be held in Term 1, 2013.

2012 has been a year of outstanding highlights and achievements.

There is no doubting the tenacity and drive of the Kormilda community as

it punches above its weight on the national stage.

Here a just a few of this year’s success stories that captured the spotlight!

Centre Stage


United Nations EnvoyHuge accolades go to Kormilda Year 12 student Sarah Bramham on being selected to represent Australian youth at the annual The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN) conference in the Netherlands early next year.

Sarah will join over 4,000 international student delegates where they will look at examining some of the world’s largest issues such as human rights, economic development, environment protection, youth and a host of others. Each annual conference hosts a United Nations ‘Mock Assembly’ with students taking an active role in presenting their chosen topics of global issues.

Sarah and two other Kormilda students, Miguel Lontoc and Daniel Kruger, also attended the United Nations Youth Association National Conference in Melbourne earlier this year where they presented to over 150 delegates in Melbourne’s historic Town Hall.

Champion SwimmerKormilda’s Paris McCabe has once again swam her way into the national spotlight!

Paris enjoyed a week of rigorous training during her stay at Canberra’s Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) alongside the Australian Squad and their coaches.

She was selected earlier in the year for the Australian State School’s Short Course Championships through the generous support of NT Swimming.

“Being a member of the Northern Territory team was an unforgettable experience, we had so much fun,” said an excited and deservedly proud Paris.

“This was my second time to represent the Territory, the facilities at AIS were amazing and the pool so unbelievably huge!”

Paris became the Territory’s youngest-ever swimming champion at the Gatorade Open Water swimming event where she blitzed the 13-16 age category.


Junior Rangers take National StageAfter winning the Westpac Education Award in last year’s NT Landcare Awards, Kormilda’s Junior Rangers were invited to contest the national awards held at Sydney’s Darling Harbour.

Cameron and Gavin Dhurrkay were chosen as Kormilda’s representatives for the formal event where they met Catriona Rowntree, Bob Hawke and also caught the attention of screen legend Jack Thompson amongst the 800 guests.

They also presented their work in Elcho Island and other Junior Ranger activities at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo.

Scholarship WinnersThe following students have been awarded the Bond University Collegiate Scholarships. The value of this scholarship various from $65,000 to $85,000.

The students are: Sarah Bramham, Renee Kershaw and Claire Marron.

Congratulations and we wish you all the best!

Conquering the Mind ChallengeKormilda College students were thrilled with their blazing performance at the Northern Territory finals of the annual international Tournament of Minds (TOM) event held recently at Charles Darwin University.

Kormilda entered three teams into the event with the Kormilda Boys team winning Honours (second place) in the Secondary Division of Maths Engineering subjects. The ultimate victory was awarded to the Kormilda Girls team who beat seven other schools to secure first place in the Language and Literature Secondary division. They represented Kormilda (and the Northern Territory) at the Australasian Pacific Final in Perth, 18–21st October.

Tournament of Minds is one of the fastest growing international school programmes that provides students with a passion for learning and problem solving to demonstrate their talents in an exciting and public forum.

Its aim is to enhance the potential of young students by developing diverse skills, enterprise, time management, and the discipline to work collaboratively within a challenging and competitive environment.


Overdue Message

It is tragic that my feelings have been unspecified til now,However I do hope that you receive this message somehow.

Make it known, that I do realise, it is a bit too late,But my message must be known, for someone to contemplate.

Thank you for the faith in women, you have influenced upon a girl.I’ve learnt that to succeed; I must be driven, even if I drive against the world.

You taught me that respect is something I must earn,Not by authority, but by acceptance and willingness to learn.

I’ve learnt of independence, of courage and of strength,From someone who was stronger, but who’s life was short of length.

I have never met someone as resilient or as admirable as you.It just pains me that this message is far too overdue.

Written by Danielle Broster

Elly Angel was a teacher respected and loved for her

enthusiasm and brilliance by both students and colleagues.

She worked at Kormilda for eight years but sadly died in 1998 after

a long struggle with cancer. Elly had a passion for literature and the poetry award was created in her honour.

Each year students are invited to submit poems connected to the themes of

community, spirit and belonging.

Thank you to the many students from different year levels who submitted their Elly Angel poems this year.

Elly Angel Poetry


FaunaHumans are a vile twisted creation

Obsessed with devastationThey rule the world like kings.

Force mountains to their kneesBendBurn

Break Trees.For greed not creed.

They build their castles as a mockeryMounting a crown of twisted thorns

Into the head of Mother Nature.Convoluted creationsAn eternal damnation

For all other thingsLiving.

Oh the need for a leader,A person of

Passion,Intelligence

Integrity.They erect their empires from the bosom of our mother

Only to be shunnedBy the lord our father

Then they elect their kingsUndoubtedly the most malevolent,

Tyrants.The charisma of Armin,The speeches of Adolf,

The dedication of Mussolini-All turned,

All changed-With power and greed

Their catalyst.Conquering everything and anything

Oh the need for good kings.To clean off this abhorrent stain.

They are young, like a vibrant butterflyBut to compare them to this would be a lie.

They do not comprehend.

The earth is their motherWe their brother.

They fear death, they doNot understand.

Can they ever understand?They desire immortality, an escape,

But they are only mortal,This is reality.Nature lives

ForeverReuses itself

Man will destroy himself.

They build their buildings,Craft their cars

Make their mirrorsAll to the expense of natural world;

They think they are creating immortalityOnly time thrives in time.

Their creativity slowly diesJust like the rest, it is for the best.The world doesn’t need this mess

Staining the Mother’s chest.

Mirrors are your creationThey show your true damnation.

An image of your agingFuelling your fear which draws ever near.

My brothers, sisters!While you have been swayed

You can be saved.

Cast out the hungry beasts inside of youFuelling your fear.

“Travel through the wild”You can never find immortality

Find this moralityAccept mortality.

Journey Along the Rabbit Proof Fence

A long journey starts itself,When fate first takes a turn.

Sent off are you half-caste girls,To another land.

From the place where you belong,To a strangers realm.

The weeps and worries overwhelm,As your family sings their mourning song.

Childhood seems so far away,Lost long before your time.Anger cries a million tears,

Caused by someone else’s crime.

Slipping slowly the sun descends,Another day wondering ‘is life my friend?’

Along the way you will see death,But you will pay for that’s your quest.

As moonlight falls,Danger appears.

Eyes dried up and left no tears,You will face your wildest fears.

Finally when your dreams are truthes,To your family you’ll return.

Now you’re safe with your families, you have no proof,That one day when the time is right you’ll do it all again.

Written by Stephanie Packwood

The PitEvery night I look at myself,

I look at the pain from the past,Scarred all over me.

A PitFull of hot embers glowing in the shadows

A push, or a fall?Accidental or purposely?

The hot coals burn meAnd my ‘to be’ identity.

Disintegrating,My life and body.

Written by Megan Leong

The Children The children they run,

Laughing, playing,Yelling from street to street.

The sun shining on their tanned, red faces.Their mouths full with the sticky sweetness of the laguan.

Sea foam bubbling, cooling the wet sand,The great ocean waves rolling,

Back and forth, back and forth and back and back and back.The ground begins to shake,The earth begins to rumble,

The buildings all around begin to tumble.The wave of water rises,

No time for surprise.The children they run.

The Kormilda community was saddened by the loss of two very special people this year.

Kate Buckeridge was the former head of Middle School who made a significant contribution to Kormilda.

She passed away after a long illness in June.

Evonne Brisch, a highly regarded and experienced Youth Worker in our Boarding Programme, passed suddenly in February.

A Special Tribute

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjTFN9LxUbo&feature=youtu.be


Earlier this year, the sudden passing of a work colleague and dear friend, Evonne Brisch saddened the Kormilda College Community.

Evonne was a Youth Worker in the Boarding Programme for many years. Her knowledge, expertise and dedication of working with Indigenous youth were invaluable.

Evonne is fondly remembered for her humour, generosity and mostly her dedication to the students.

Evonne is always in our hearts and sorely missed by all.

Evonne (Bonbon) was a great friend and mother who contributed so much to the outcomes of the students at Kormilda College. She was a true friend, with a great sense of humour, which made her unique.

Not a day goes by without her in our thoughts and prayers. We miss the times we shared. We remember the way she made us laugh out loud and was not afraid to speak her mind. She may be gone but she will never be forgotten. She lives in our hearts forever and we will see her again someday soon… – Pam

Eulogy

Evonne was born on 28th Sptember 1975 in Aberdeen, Scotland, the youngest daughter of Peter and Pat and sister to Vanessa. They were in Scotland because of her father working in the North Sea.

They came back to Australia in 1978 and then on to Darwin in 1981. Evonne lived in Darwin since she was five years old.

In 1992 she left school to work for her parents in Elliot NT. It was there that she developed a great rapport with the Indigenous people. She took an interest in their lives and culture and considered many to be good friends.

Evonne decided to move back to Darwin and went to Uni to get a Certificate in Child Care.

She applied for a job with Kormilda College in 2002/3 where she worked until her passing.

In August 2011 Evonne’s greatest wish was fulfilled when she became the proud mother of her son Donovan.

Evonne Brisch When the clouds partPoem to remember you

When the clouds part and a ray of sun shines throughWe look to the sky; and think of you.

You see our tears and feel our acheWe breath you in with each breath we take

There is no need to miss, what is not goneFor you are right here, where you belong

You are the sun’s warmth on our faceGuiding us through this dark place

You are the whisper of the wind through the nightThat gentle sparkle in a star’s light

You are the colours of the rainbow after a summer’s rainDazzling, vivid colours nothing could tame

You are the elegance found after a first snowThat small, beautiful, blinding glow

You made your own path from the start

And we continue to carry your footprints on our heart

When we stop to think of all we missLook around and think of this

Something so special and rare could never fadeAnd that is how we know you stayed

Because when the clouds part and that ray of sun shines through

We will smile, knowing that glimmer is you.

Rest in peace Evonne.

– Sharona Bishop, former student


A Tribute to Kate BuckeridgeBy Dr Helen Spiers, Deputy Principal.

College staff were saddened to learn of the passing in Melbourne of Kate Buckeridge, previously Head of Middle School at Kormilda College, after a long illness, on 10th June 2012.

Kate commenced at Kormilda College in July 2007. It was the commencement of her second stint of employment in the Northern Territory. In 1992-95 Kate was a Field Officer, then the Executive Officer of the Duke of Edinburgh Award in NT. She later took up the same position in Victoria.

Kate was very ‘hands on’ working directly with the young people in their efforts to improve themselves and work with the environment. Kate had qualified as a teacher in Victoria in 1986 (Physical Education and Science), followed by a position as an Entertainment Officer, Mt Buffalo Chalet. Employment in Jabiru and Victoria followed until she answered an advertisement for the position of Head of Middle School at Kormilda College, Darwin.

As Kate’s line manager and close working colleague in our very busy Secondary School, I can verify that Kate’s qualities were outstanding.

Kate:

» Had strong leadership skills yet had time for her staff and listened to them;

» Consistently worked towards better outcomes for Indigenous Australian Students;

» Respected people from diverse backgrounds;

» Was highly organized and had excellent interpersonal skills;

» Was a life long learner (completed her Masters in Education, Monash University 2010. Bachelor of Education, 1980. Level 1 Sports Trainer, 2002. Senior Management Leadership programme, 2005);

» Led by example.

Kate initiated student-centred programmes at Kormilda College that still exist today. To quote a statement made by a colleague in her professional appraisal “Kate always OWNED her responsibilities as the Head of Middle School”.

Kate loved working at Kormilda College because it gave her space to be herself.

She:

» Challenged staff and students;

» Empowered Middle School leaders, student participation in the Middle School Ski Trip and Middle School sports events;

» Worked collaboratively with staff and students;

» Was vibrant, Exhausting to watch! (boot camp 6am, coaching, ski trip in holidays, camps).

Kate became a very close friend of many staff and parents and will be sorely missed.

This quote was one that Kate used and it sums her up really – it gives us an imagery of physical fitness, physical challenge, achievement but with the human element of people working together to achieve!

Kate Achieved, Kate walked & ran with people, and according to the young staff and students at Kormilda “She was Awesome!”

Kate believed in and lived her life according to her favourite quote:

“no mountain is climbed alone – you need a whole team to carry all you

need up the hill”– Steve Jobs


Year 12 Kormilda students enjoyed a breakfast at

Crocosaurus Cove.

Congratulations to our well-deserving 2012 Award recipients!

The hard slog and dedication to subjects and various programmes has paid off and delivered the recognition deserved for these outstanding achievements.

A big heartfelt thanks is also extended to our valued sponsors for their support and

contribution.

Goodbye 2012 Year 12s!Our Year 12s had busy end to their November – once the grueling

task of completing their final exams was over, they enjoyed a final ‘hurrah’ breakfast at Darwin’s Crocosaurus Cove.

Newly announced 2013 School Captain, George Kypreos, was on hand to video film the breakfast event, interviewing a number of his fellow students who

spoke of their time at Kormilda and what their plans for the future may hold.

After breakfast, it was on to the Darwin Entertainment Centre to rehearse for the night’s Award Ceremony, which the 2012 School Captains

Vaanathy and Stephen have been hard at work on.
