Newsletter | Speaking the Truth in Love

As we draw closer to the conclusion of Term 2, I thank all students, staff and families for their dedication and contribution to our faith, learning and wellbeing programs. This has been the longest period of face-to-face learning we have experienced since 2019 and for this reason, there is much to celebrate. In addition to the classroom program, we have hosted all planned excursions and incursions, retreats and social justice events, student wellbeing programs and camps for this semester. The GSV program has been possible and last week saw the full program of exams for our Year 10 and 11 students. We have welcomed parents and carers to our Student Progress Meetings and successfully hosted our Significant Women’s Breakfast. Several weeks ago, with the implementation of COVID Safe practices, we even held the first face-to-face whole school assembly in a long time.

While there is a place for online learning, physically being at school has allowed students the best chance to form relationships and actively participate in their learning. We must acknowledge that the number of positive COVID cases has continued but we are grateful that we have satisfactorily managed the needs of staff and students. Over the last two years, I have reminded families that if their children are not well, they should remain at home and seek medical support, if needed. I have reminded the staff to do likewise. It is important that we continue this practice to support everyone’s health and to maintain learning continuity.

Congratulations to the many students and staff who contributed to this week’s wonderful Music Week celebrations. Students showcased their Semester One learning with great enthusiasm and skill. Our Ensembles evening saw over 400 students come together to perform for their families. Thank you to Mr Martin Macaulay, Mrs Lynette Stancombe, Mr Ryan Parks, our many Instrumental Instructors and staff who volunteered to support this evening of excellent entertainment. House Theatre Sports was also held this week. Thank you to Mrs Jennifer Tilley, our House Captains, and all the volunteer teachers who organised our House activities this semester. These events are an important feature in the lives of our students and contribute to the wonderful community spirit which exists at Our Lady of Sion College.

This coming Saturday, we wish our three aerobics teams all the very best as they compete in the State Finals of the School Aerobics competition. We also wish students who will be departing for the Actura Ocean School experience on the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Forest next Monday. Thank you to Mr Paul Kerr who will accompany our young scientists in this unique learning experience.

Next week, we begin the exciting process of subject selection for our Years 9, 10 and 11 students. I wish all students all the very best and encourage them to aim high when discerning the pathways that they would like to pursue. I know they have the commitment and a great capacity to achieve their goals and ambitions.

Recently we heard of the return of the Nadesalingam family to their adopted community in the town of Biloela, Queensland. This asylum seeker family is one of many who seek refuge in our country. Before the pandemic, our Year 12 students were able to visit Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation (MITA) to offer companionship and support to the asylum seekers who are detained there. We hope that in the future we will be allowed to resume these visits for they provide our students with the chance to develop empathy, and their social and political understanding so they can make informed decisions in their adulthood. The final week of Term 2 marks Refugee Week; this year’s theme is Healing. If you would like to learn more about Refugee Week, please click here.

'Love not only means that we wish others well or that we are good to others,
but first and foremost, at the root, that we welcome others, make room for others, make space for others.'
Pope Francis@Pontifex 12 June 2022

Thank you to Mrs Maree Campbell, Mrs Sharon deWacht and Mr Paul Rowley who conclude their time at the College. We also wish Mrs Heather Stewart, Mrs Mel Hayes and Mrs Jenny Schwab all the very best as they commence a period of Long Service Leaving from the beginning of Term 3.

Thank you once again to all staff, students and families for a rich and rewarding Term 2. May you enjoy some quiet and restful moments during the term break when the pace slows down a little, and we look forward to seeing you again in Term 3.

Liturgy Representatives

Last week, our Year 7 Liturgy Representatives were welcomed to the Liturgy Team.

The Liturgy Team does an amazing job in leading our school community in prayer and other liturgical celebrations.

At a recent Parent Information Evening, one of our College Captains, Chelsea L, shared with everyone present that her first leadership role here at Our Lady of Sion College was that of Year 8 Liturgy Representative. She shared that it had given her such a lift and she had enjoyed it so much. It had enabled her to grow, she said, and now, here she was, standing there as College Captain.

We recently welcomed two new Representatives – Bianca G and Sibella L. We hope they too will find this role nourishing and rewarding.

Our current Year 12 Liturgy Captain, Caitlin G, welcomed both Bianca G and Sibella L to the team. With her permission, I share with you what she said:

Hello Bianca and Sibella!

I am so excited to welcome you to the 2022 Liturgy team!

I was a Liturgy Rep when I was in Year 7 and it was the most incredible experience, as I got to meet other faith filled people who I was inspired by and embraced liturgy at Sion. This really allowed me to grow in my spiritual journey. I hope you will also be touched by this position.

We will be having a meeting this Thursday at lunchtime in EC 1.4 (7 Red) which you now will be attending!! We then meet every fortnight (Thursday A).

Just to give you a heads up of what this is like, we generally discuss:

1. Upcoming chapel sessions
2. Ongoing initiatives (music in chapels, voluntary chapel, or other ideas people may have)
3. Other upcoming events which we need to plan for.

After the meeting, there is generally time to write in the chapel session which we have for the next week to complete, and we may also need to do some promoting to year levels about other initiatives.

This will become clearer after our first meeting, don’t worry!

I will be sending out an email to all the Reps in the coming days with a reminder about the meeting!

Please let me know if you have any questions, I am here to support you in any way!

Caitlin

Spotlight on Science!

Science at Sion has four options: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology. These four subjects all explore the connectivity of living organisms with the world. Students can select all four sciences if they wish, as many students have done in the past.

The study of Biology explores the diversity of life as it has evolved and changed over time and considers how living organisms function and interact. It explores the processes of life, from the molecular world of the cell to that of the whole organism and examines how life forms maintain and ensure their continuity. Some of the topics explored include cell structure and function, many different cellular processes like protein production, photosynthesis, gene regulation and genetic manipulation, reproduction, body systems, genetics, immunology and disease and evolution.

The study of Chemistry involves investigating and analysing the composition and behaviour of matter, and the chemical processes involved in producing useful materials for society in ways that minimise adverse effects on human health and the environment. Chemistry underpins the generation of energy for use in homes and industry, the maintenance of clean air and water, the production of food, medicines and new materials, and the treatment of wastes. Some topics explored include materials and chemical properties, reactions and quantifying chemicals, organic compounds, fuels and sustainability, acids and bases, redox reactions, fuel cells and electrolysis, and medicinal chemistry.

The study of Physics involves investigating, understanding, and explaining the behaviour of physical phenomena in the Universe. Models, including mathematical models, are used to explore, simplify, and predict how physical systems behave at varying scales from the very small (quantum and particle physics) through to the very large (astronomy and cosmology). Beginning with classical ideas and considering their limitations, and then being introduced to more modern explanations of the world, provides a novel lens through which students experience the world around them, drawing on their natural curiosity and wonder. Some of the topics studied include light, atomic physics, radiation, thermal physics, electricity, fields, mechanics, quantum physics and the nature of energy and matter.

The study of Psychology is a multifaceted discipline that seeks to describe, explain, understand, and predict human behaviour and mental processes. It includes many sub-fields of study that explore and seek to better understand how individuals, groups, communities, and societies think, feel and act. There are many different approaches to the study of psychology. VCE Psychology applies a biopsychosocial approach to the systematic study of mental processes and behaviour. Students develop their understanding of human behaviour and mental processes and the interrelated nature of biological, psychological, and social factors. Biological perspectives focus on how physiology influences individuals through exploring concepts such as hereditary and environmental factors, nervous system functioning and the role of internal biological mechanisms. Psychological perspectives consider the diverse range of cognitions, emotions and behaviours that influence individuals. Within the social perspective, factors such as cultural considerations, environmental influences, social support, and socioeconomic status are explored.

Congratulations to 12 Silver for taking out our Volleyball competition during our Pastoral lesson last week. It was great to see so many of our Year 12 students getting active and involved for some healthy Homeroom rivalry. The final play-off for first place was between 12 Silver and 12 White with 12 Silver claiming victory. I am looking forward to seeing which Homeroom claims stardom for our Family Feud challenge next Tuesday.

A reminder to all students who signed up for the annual Mentors' Breakfast that this will be taking place on Friday 24 June at 7.30 am in the LHC. This event is always a great opportunity for our current Year 12 students to meet and interact with some of our past students who come along to share their experiences across a broad range of careers. A huge thank you to Brooke O’Hara who provides these opportunities for our students to further inform them as they make choices about pathways beyond Year 12.

As our Year 12 students have reached the halfway mark on completing their final year of schooling, I thought it might be helpful to highlight below some of the significant dates entering into Semester 2.

As the end of Term 2 draws closer our Year 12 students are continuing to work hard in preparation for a range of SACs that are taking place in the final week of the term. I encourage the students to continue seeking support when it is needed and to make sure they factor in some rest and relaxation during the term break.

Congratulations to all students and families for a very busy Term 2, ending in a big rush with the end of semester examination period, then straight into the commencement of Semester 2 and rounding out with a Subject Selection Evening on June 20.

Term 3 starts just as quickly with work experience and then into our ballroom dancing sessions and presentation.

We continue to look at discovering our excellence each and every day. Truly, the way in which the Year 10 students responded during their examination period is confirmation that they continue to develop their excellence. They followed the required processes calmly and were present at the commencement of each exam ensuring they had the correct drink bottles and necessary materials. All these little things make a big difference and show they are willing to take each new challenge in their stride. Year 10s, well done!

Our Term 2 break is not far away, and I really want to encourage all families to take time to simply be with each other, not rushing, simply enjoying each other’s company. Here is a resource that might spark an interest to travel somewhere within Victoria and spend some time as a family: https://www.visitvictoria.com/regions/melbourne/see-and-do/urban-adventure. Maybe an activity or two in this resource might spark an interest.

So, until the commencement of Term 3, when we will all be heading out into work experience, take care and stay safe and as always, over the next two weeks we hope that all Year 10 families will continue to discover their ‘excellence within’ by taking on new opportunities.

During last week’s Pastoral session, a guest speaker from Warner Youth Education came to discuss with the year level some important elements of ‘party safe’ and ‘alcohol’.

He was able to discuss the risks and effects of underage binge drinking and this was delivered in an informative, educational but also engaging way.

Some (not all) of the key messages that were delivered are below, and I encourage families to discuss some of these at home with their daughters.

As I reflect on the first semester of the year, I feel overall that it has been a very successful one and I was very pleased with how the Year 9 students settled back into face-to-face learning.

Key areas of strength from Semester 1.

• Resilience, in regards to the transition back to school
• The ability to be flexible when faced with change
• Developing a sense of being leaders amongst their peers
• Managing the assessment tasks much better than in 2021.

These are all things to be proud of as a level.

Key areas to focus on for Semester 2.

• Increase their desire to get involved
• Friendships - to get to know those in their year level they haven’t yet met
• Organisation
• Manners and kindness towards others.

A reminder that our theme for 2022 is ‘To have courage and be kind’.

On behalf of myself and the Year 9 Homeroom team, we look forward to seeing what Semester 2 has to offer.

Well, what a term it has been and almost at the end of the Year 8 students' first full semester of secondary school! I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Year 8s for their hard work this term. I know it has had its challenges but it has been wonderful to see the girls back for another full term; the Year 8 area has been buzzing throughout with excitement and filled with smiles from everyone.

In our most recent Pastoral session, we ran ‘Your Safety Matters’. In this session, students watched a video about the Child Safety Standards and what they can do if they feel unsafe physically, emotionally or in any other way. They then had the opportunity to write down questions that were answered by a panel with members of the school’s Pastoral Care Team. Their questions were insightful and genuine, with a clear interest in keeping themselves and their friends safe.

There were a couple of clear messages and pieces of advice shared by the panel, which I would encourage you to reiterate with your daughter/s:

• If they feel unhappy with how they or a friend are being treated, it is crucial that they speak to a trusted adult. This could be a family member, friend or teacher.
• Whilst it is admirable that they want to help a friend, it is important to speak to a trusted adult if they feel that they are unable to or don’t have the skills. Teenagers have enough on their plates as it is, so if there is concern for a friend’s safety or wellbeing, it is important that they speak to a trusted adult about their concern to seek advice. They don’t need to and shouldn’t take on this burden of responsibility.
• Do not hold on to feelings and thoughts that may be affecting them and their wellbeing. Our brains can be like a balloon; if we keep inflating them with our troubles, they will eventually burst. It is much more manageable if we ‘let some air out’ by talking to somebody who can help us rather than waiting until it gets to the breaking point.

Beyond Blue, Headspace and Kids Helpline are also wonderful resources for them as well as parents/carers. We want our students to feel safe and be treated respectfully. If they feel that this is not the case, please encourage them to speak to their Homeroom teachers, myself or a School Counsellor and we would be happy to help them as best we can.

I hope all of the Year 8 students and families have a safe and restful holiday and return for the beginning of Term 3 recharged and energised.

As Semester 1 finishes and Semester 2 begins, we have a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our achievements so far in 2022. In the past two weeks, students in Year 7 have been given the opportunity to take time to review their first full face-to-face semester in two years. During Pastoral last Tuesday, we posed the following questions:

• ​​What have you enjoyed the most about starting at Our Lady of Sion College?
• What are three things you have found difficult about starting secondary school?
• What are two techniques you are using to help you stay organised and up to date with your work?
• Are these techniques effective? Why or why not? Would you change anything about them?
• Looking at your SEQTA page, what result are you most proud of? Why?
• What was the teacher's feedback on this result? What can you do to continue your progress?
• Identify three tasks/subjects that you would like to improve on next semester. What feedback are you receiving on these tasks?
• What strategies or techniques can you use to progress in these subjects? What will progress look, feel or sound like?

I encourage all families to take time to continue this discussion outside of school, particularly focusing on the last point regarding progress. After two years of impacted learning, we know that the transition to secondary school has been challenging for many, and progress may not look, feel or sound as we are expecting it to. Approaching the remainder of the academic year with a growth mindset may help students to engage with their learning. This can also be applied to extracurricular activities, such as GSV sport, ensembles and out-of-school activities.

Having a growth mindset involves actively seeking feedback from peers and teachers about how best to improve, as well as recognising that success and progress are individual to each person. Students who are reflective in this manner often find themselves able to articulate their areas of strengths and weaknesses in a way that allows them to celebrate their achievements and personal development over the course of their schooling.

Deep Dive into Year 10 STEAM Projects

The Year 10 STEAM class finally presented their Major Projects in the Learning Resource Centre on Thursday 10 June 2022.

Each student set up their own table which had a scientific poster explaining what they researched, a display folder with their research and an artefact that displayed what their research was about. These artefacts ranged from a model aeroplane, a non-functioning wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) and a fully functioning games console using a ‘Raspberry Pi’.

Some Year 7 and Year 8 classes were invited into the LRC to chat with the Year 10 STEAM students about their projects. It was wonderful to see how confidently the Year 10 students spoke about their research and the scientific principles they had researched. At the end of the 'show and tell', students were asked to vote for their favourite STEAM Project; the winner being 'How do computers affect mood?', followed closely by 'Biosensors on Dolphins'.

Congratulations on the efforts of the class who worked hard on this project despite sickness and interruptions. We hope that it has given them a taste of what it is like to do a 'deep dive' into a STEAM topic and to communicate their findings to others.

How 3D printing helps solve everyday challenges for people with disabilities

Year 9 students have been given the challenge to design and make a life-changing assisted device that improves the life of someone with a disability or that helps the elderly. Below are images of the 3D designs developed by several groups of students.

Design solution 1: Mia, Nada and Maddie designed a solution focusing on people who struggle to write with a pen/pencil. They have made several prototypes to find the best solution.

Design solution 2: Ava B, Allegra K, and Sarah H investigated problems that people have with a weak hand grip and/or suffer from hand tremors. They decided on a solution that improves the grip and helps people turn a key to open doors.

Design solution 2: Jasmine C, Ilaria F and Analise P designed a feeding spoon to help people who have difficulty with day-to-day tasks such as holding a spoon.

Work by: Mia A, Nada A, Maddie M, Jasmine C, Ilaria F, Analise P, Allegra K, Sarah H and Ava B.

Life has been very busy in the Drama classroom with end-of-term performances happening in the Miriam Theatre to live audiences. The VCE Year 12 Drama class presented non-naturalistic devised ensemble performances based on a world in the future. The Year 10 students devised non-naturalistic performances seeking peaceful resolutions to current issues in society that are often met with violent protests. The Year 9 students presented Shakespeare excerpts from Othello, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. The Drama students did a wonderful job in their preparation and presentation of their work to very enthusiastic audiences. We are very proud of all our Drama students at Sion.

Ensembles Concert Night

It was fantastic to be back performing to a full Miriam Theatre at this week's Ensembles Concert Night as part of the 2022 Music Week. Over 400 students in 18 glorious ensembles performed classical, jazz, choral, band, rock and chamber music, transcriptions, arrangements, pieces with only six notes in them, musical theatre inspired songs, pieces by Australian composers and pieces with all sorts of accompaniment. Hosted by our 2022 Music Captain, Natalie KS, and ably assisted by all the Music Representatives, the night was a great way to celebrate a return to live performance and showcase the hard work the students have done this year. Some quotes from the students:

• Thanks to the Music staff for their unwavering support and expertise – it was so much fun. Alex B, 8 Silver
• Wow – what an audience! Paige P, 11 Gold
• Mum said how wonderful it was to see and hear me playing – she said it sounded nothing like me when I practised at home. Amy F, 8 Red

Term 3 Soiree – Save the date

Instrumental students will have another opportunity to perform solo and chamber ensemble material at the Term 3 Music Soiree on Monday 12 September at 5.00 pm.

It has been a busy term and the Learning Resource Centre is filling back up again with laughter and activity.

As part of the Library Lover’s Day Blind Date with a book initiative in Term 1, we offered students an opportunity to write a book review on the book that they borrowed on the day. We had a small number of students write book reviews, and each of them was awarded a Community Spirit point for their efforts.

Here are some of the book reviews:

Pennies for Hitler by Jackie French
https://library.sion.catholic.edu.au/?serviceId=ExternalEvent&brSn=6286&brKey=1637755145

I enjoyed this book because of the characters and style of writing. Throughout the book, I was interested in what would happen to Georg, where he would go and who he would meet along the way. My favourite part of the book was set in the underground train station in London where the bombs were going off. The ending wasn’t anything special. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a good book and an easy read. Ella P 8 Silver

Songs of a Warboy by Deng Thiak Adut
https://library.sion.catholic.edu.au/?serviceId=ExternalEvent&brSn=32337&brKey=316366273

Songs of a War Boy is based on the true story of the author who wrote this novel, whose name is Deng Thiak Adut. I borrowed this book from Library Lover's Day, and as it was a blind date, the book was covered with paper and written on it was the description of the novel in two words, 'inspiring' and 'heart-wrenching'. The storyline and message from Songs of a War Boy hold true to these words, as it gave me an insight into what it is like to escape and survive the war. Madi Mc 9 Red

Fright Night by Maren Stoffels
https://library.sion.catholic.edu.au/?serviceId=ExternalEvent&brSn=34852&brKey=230635923

I like this book because there are thrilling and heartfelt moments. Each chapter is from a different character’s perspective. One moment I enjoyed was when Sophia went to Dylan’s old house and school and took photos for an album for his birthday (very heartfelt.) There was suspense in this book that made me want to read on and on. Evelyn B, 7 Blue

With Library and Information Week and Book Week occurring next term, there will be opportunities for students to engage with the LRC and achieve Community Spirit Points.

GSV Weekly Sport Finals

Finals, Finals, Finals! Throughout Term 2 the students have excelled in the weekly sports of AFL 9s, Netball, Australian Football and Hockey.

Senior Finals

On Monday 6 June, our Seniors began the finals series with both the A and B netball team qualifying. After finishing top of their pool, the A team progressed through, the preliminary (vs Lauriston), semi (vs Lowther Hall) and into the grand final (vs OLMC) where they came away second best on the day. The Senior B team came up against a strong opposition who unfortunately ended their finals in the preliminary final.

Intermediate Finals

All the intermediate sports teams qualified for finals this term including five netball teams and one hockey team. The Intermediate netballers filled Waverley Netball Centre with cherry red as they came up against a high calibre of competition. The A team started their finals series with a 37-10 win against Mentone, but got knocked out in the semi-finals in a competitive match with Genazzano, 16-23. Sion B, Sion C and Sion D progressed through to their grand finals and all came off as runners up on the day. Sion E came up against a tough competition and lost their semi final against Loreto.

The Intermediate hockey team challenged Toorak College at the State Hockey Centre in Sion’s first ever hockey final. They lost in a close competitive game 0-2. All the teams are congratulated on a fantastic season of sport.

Junior Finals

Sion1, Sion3 and Sion6 Junior Netball Teams came up against some great competition in the A, B and C Grade finals respectively. Sion1 and Sion3 both dominated the top two sections. Making it through to the grand final, both teams showed their netball stamina to take out the Premierships. Sion6 had a close preliminary final, which they marginally won by one goal. Despite losing their semi final, they played off for third position and unfortunately saw the other side ending in a one goal defeat.

Our AFL 9s A team was also Premiers of the competition finishing at the top of the ladder scoring over 300 points for the season.
