School News
Welcome Reverend Kate BoughtonWe are blessed to have Chaplain Kate (right) join the Collegiate community. Kate was ordained
as a Deacon in 2008 and a Priest in 2010. Before coming to Collegiate her roles have seen her
working extensively with children, youth, young adults and their families, both in Tasmania as
Assistant Curate at St David’s Cathedral and Diocesan Ministry Assistant, and in Melbourne as
an Associate Minister at St Jude’s Anglican Church.
‘Emily’ BearFor many years Collegiate’s Junior School has carried the symbol of a teddy bear. At the start
of the 2017 school year we introduced ‘Emily’ (right) who is a larger than life replica of the bear
that all new students receive upon confirmation of their enrolment at Collegiate. Named in
honour of Mother Emily who founded the Order of the Community of the Sisters of the Church,
our ‘Emily’ has quickly become a very popular member of the Collegiate community.
RowingThe Collegiate rowers (below right) have had a very successful season coming away with
a total of six shields for overall performances in the Junior and Girls aggregates as well as
numerous individual crew results. At the Head of the River, Collegiate had six wins across the
age levels, eight seconds and two thirds. These results helped to earn the Junior Aggregate
Shield and place a respectable fourth for the overall Girls Aggregate. The U16 crew went on to
compete at the National Championships in Penrith, placing an impressive 6th in the A final.
School FairThis year we enjoyed stunning weather for the Collegiate School Fair. With over 26 different
stalls, an abundance of beautiful food and a buzzing community atmosphere, the Fair was yet
another successful event for the Collegiate Parents and Friends’ Association. A huge thank you
must go to all those who donated goods, services and time to support this special event. It is
a true reflection of the wonderful Collegiate community spirit.
Student Care and WellbeingStudent care at Collegiate has as its central objective the development of the whole person
through our pastoral care structure and programs, quality relationships and sound academic
care. Our starting point is building positive relationships where all members of the community
are committed to fostering a positive learning environment. The Junior School is presently
implementing ‘KidsMatter’ - a positive mental health and wellbeing framework, built upon in the
Middle School by the ‘MindMatters’ program. Our Senior School Wellbeing Program focusses
on principles of Positive Psychology. In an approach we believe to be unique, our Year 11 and
12 House leaders take on the role of ‘Custodians of Wellbeing’ and work with the Wellbeing
Coordinator to deliver a range of activities that cultivate habits of the mind.
From the PrincipalThis year marks the 125th anniversary
of St Michael’s Collegiate. As a school,
Collegiate has empowered generations of
girls to imagine the possibilities for their
future, thereby enabling them to follow their
aspirations. Just one look at our Inspiring Old
Girls Gallery on the School website tells me
that Collegiate does this exceptionally well.
As Principal, I often reflect on those
indomitable, resilient women who left their
homes and family behind in 1892, completely
committed to their vision of educating young
Australian women in the Anglican tradition.
How grateful we are to the Community of the
Sisters of the Church who built such a strong
foundation from which we can all flourish and
prosper.
I look forward to celebrating our remarkable
heritage with you at a variety of events
throughout Collegiate’s 125th year.
Mrs Judith Tudball
Principal

On Friday 3 March, Her Excellency, Professor
the Honourable Kate Warner, AC, Governor of
Tasmania (1965 Leaver) and Mr Warner hosted
a magnificent Reception to mark Collegiate’s
125th Anniversary. Her Excellency remarked
that it was the largest reception she and Mr
Warner had hosted in her time as Governor.
The event was attended by 200 guests,
predominantly old girls of the School, who had
come from as far afield as Western Australia
and the United Kingdom for this celebration
of 125 years of exceptional education for
girls in Hobart. Two of Collegiate’s oldest Old
Girls, June Gibson (1934) and Mary Hamilton
(1936), were especially feted during the
reception.
In her address, Her Excellency read out
remarks from her school reports over the
years, including comments on her “erratic
arithmetic” and “talking in class” and her
many trips to Sister Jessica’s office for one
infringement or another. In concluding, Her
Excellency spoke of the many challenges the
Tasmanian education system, and parents,
have faced over the years, and her gratitude
for her “sound education” at Collegiate.

Principal’s Midwinter SymposiumThe inaugural Principal’s Midwinter Symposium bought together some of the leading minds
in the country and showcased an informative discussion on issues relating to the future of
education. The 2016 topic was ‘Girls’ education - on the cutting edge’.
Joined by a Collegiate audience of 200, panel members discussed the critical role we all play
in empowering girls for their future. Each of the four panel members spoke from the heart in
regards to their own experiences in education, their career, their family and identified how they
believe an appreciation of diversity and international values has shaped and inspired them to
become who they are today.
Paul Jarman 125th Commission Performance on Saturday 2 September at Federation Concert Hall

Outstanding TCE resultsWe are delighted to announce the success of our most recent Year 12
Leavers who continue to uphold Collegiate’s long tradition of academic success.
Warmest congratulations are extended to Solbi Kang, Jessie Horder-Geraghty, Evangeline
Drinnan, Joanne Li, Cassady Swinbourne and Danielle Lee whose results placed them in the
2016 Top 100 Tertiary Entrance Scores for Tasmania.
Five Collegiate students scored an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) above 99, placing

funds for counselling services and support for women who have, or are currently, experiencing
family and domestic violence. An astonishing $27,570.65 was raised throughout the year,

2017 PrefectsAs is customary, Collegiate’s Middle and Senior School students came together on the first
day of the academic year at St David’s Cathedral to induct the Year 12s and the 2017 School
Prefects. A highlight of the ceremony was the Commissioning of the Reverend Kate Boughton
as School Chaplain. Collegiate is delighted to have Chaplain Kate join our community to
enable our staff and students to flourish by showing them the love, compassion, justice and
forgiveness of God.
Our current Year 12s have decided to support The LINK with a particular focus on their national
program, headspace. They have also identified ‘confidence and courage’ as the theme for
2017 - a fitting follow on from last year’s theme of ‘empowerment’.

require skills in STEM or STEAM fields, our commitment to supporting our girls is unwavering.
We look forward to our panel discussing the relevance of a new science facility for our girls to
utilise into the future.

The Shadforth’s Travelling ScholarshipThe Shadforth’s Travelling Scholarship is awarded each year to a Collegiate staff member to assist in their professional development.
The Positive Schools Conference ‘Leading, Learning and Caring’, held in Melbourne in 2016,
was a wonderful opportunity to work with leaders in the field of Student Wellbeing. A major focus
of several presenters was positive psychology and whole school approaches to improving
student wellbeing. This is topical in Australia at present as we have recorded high rates of
anxiety in children, particularly in girls. As such, many sessions were focused on risk factors
and how schools are working to address these.
Keynote speaker Professor Lea Waters holds the Gerry Higgins Chair in Positive Psychology and
is the Director of the Centre for Positive Psychology at the University of Melbourne. Professor
Waters is a registered psychologist (AHPRA), and a member of the College of Organisational
Psychologists. She works with individuals and schools to promote wellbeing through positive
psychology and has developed a suite of workshops for students and teachers to implement
this in the classroom. Our Junior School is currently reviewing and developing our student
wellbeing program and working alongside Professor Waters has proved invaluable.
Trina Cummins, Director of Wellbeing and Positive Education at the Wilderness School shared
her school’s work on Positive Education: Increasing Student Wellbeing and Engagement.
During her presentation, she shared how students are explicitly taught wellbeing strategies
and how the school has a holistic plan to develop this across the grade levels.
