Week 11, Term 2

The snap lockdown has tested us all this week.
I am very grateful for the wisdom, commitment and team spirit of the College staff as we have responded to a daily changing situation.
The College Executive has spent many hours of spirited debate discerning the best way forward for all our students. I can assure all parents of our best intentions at all times for all our students. We have grappled with many 'grey' decisions and been reminded that there is rarely black and white in judgement decisions. There are diametrically opposing viewpoints from various stakeholders about what we should have done this week. The answers are usually somewhere in the middle. And, any decision will affect particular groups differently.
Whenever we make decisions, which as leaders we are obliged to do, we look at the issue through the lens of “what is best for students?” We also look at who is interested, who is involved and who is impacted? We try to convene a group with a wide range of opinions and we try to consult widely. We then follow the best wisdom that emerges through the synergy of a group working together to solve a common problem. We were all especially grateful to our Head Girl, Olivia De Longis and Head Boy, Ash Elphick, who answered our call to meet with us early on Tuesday morning. They brought insights from a student perspective that we did not have in our group before then.
I recall hearing Peter Cosgrove, former Governor General, saying; “In times of crisis; do not panic, resort to the facts and look after the people.” Our state leaders have done this effectively during this pandemic. As they have often said, there are no signposts in new territory. We all need to be agile and flexible to find our way through the fog.
There is a beautiful story of Ernest Shackleton, Antarctic explorer. He and five others sailed in a whale boat for 16 days across 1,300km of dangerous ocean to South Georgia in a desperate attempt to find help to rescue his crew from Elephant Island. At one time, after days without the sun to orient them, Shackleton stood at the bow and pointed through the sea mist; “It’s this way men.” He could not have known what direction they were heading, he was simply aligning his crew in a common purpose. Throughout the 16-day ordeal, not one of Shackleton’s crew of Endurance died.
I think that whenever we make a decision, we make it the right decision by the way that we follow it through. When there are unknowns, there is not a decision to make between right or wrong. There is a decision between two rights. There are so many paths and choices available to us.
I feel very grateful to work with a highly competent group of people in our Executive Team. I reflected on the power of our team when reading Tony Wilson’s book; Jack and the Team That Couldn’t See. He says that good teams are characterised by;
- Minimal infighting or politics.
- A high degree of loyalty and negligible turnover.
- Lively meetings that are full of input and debate, but still have clear outcomes that are actioned immediately.
- Team members who can clearly articulate vision, strategy and expectations that include behaviour and results.
- Team members who take full responsibility for their actions, behaviour and results.
- Shared leadership - everyone is accountable.
- Team members who are willing to go the extra mile to achieve their own goals and also to help others achieve theirs.
- People who are 100% on board even when they disagree with a directive.
|
|
At the time of writing (Thursday 1 July), I have just heard that there were no new COVID-19 cases recorded overnight. Let’s all hope that the lockdown can be safely lifted shortly. We all need a break. I hope all people follow the directions of our leaders:
- Stay at home unless you are required to work.
- Wear a mask, use hand sanitiser and physically distance.
- Check in with the SafeWA App.
- If symptoms develop, get tested and self-isolate until a negative test comes back.
- Get vaccinated as soon as you are able.
I wish all families a safe and reinvigorating break and look forward to seeing all our students (in person I hope) on Monday 19 July. Thank you all for your continuing support of the College.

TIME TO STOP - SILENCE, STILLNESS AND SOLITUDE
|
|
|
I’m writing this on the first day of our lockdown and, as we all are, I’m a little uncertain of what the rest of this week, and the coming school holidays might hold. It’s been a very full and productive term and many of us, staff and students alike, find ourselves a little frayed around the edges. The need to take time out to reflect and renew my relationship with myself and others is essential.
However, doing this can be a little tricky! Making intentional time to be alone, quiet or slow down, requires planning. Taking a good book to a café you don’t usually go to, taking a long walk at the beach and making the most of when others are out of the house can all be opportunities for us to recharge. In amongst all the books and study, writing and thinking, making space to dream, imagine and simply be, can be a great gift that we offer ourselves.
May all of us enjoy a rich, and most of all, refreshing, holiday!

SEMESTER ONE REPORTING
Semester One Reports for ALL students will be uploaded on SEQTA and visible to students and parents by 6:00pm today.
Reports will not be printed by the College. To view your child’s Semester One Report, simply login to SEQTA Engage with the username and password you have previously received from the College. If you have any technical issues accessing reports (e.g. passwords) please email Mr Colin Bradley at cbradley@sacredheart.wa.edu.au.
Allocation of Grades 7 - 10:
- Students receive a ‘course’ grade and a ‘state’ grade for most courses offered in Years 7 to 10. The subject teacher determines the 'course' grade based on the student’s performance against the learning objectives of the school course.
- Students will also receive an ‘Australian Curriculum’ or 'state' grade based on the Western Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards.
- In most cases, the ‘course’ grade and the 'state' grade will be identical, however it is possible that a student in Year 10 Advanced Mathematics might receive a 'C' school grade which equates to a 'B' 'state' grade when compared with all other students in the state.
- Different courses will use different cut-offs for the allocation of grades. As a result, it is possible for a student to achieve 75% and an 'A' grade for one course and 75% and a 'B' grade for another course.
- Some courses do not allocate a 'state' grade, including Religious Education, Languages, Business and Astronomy.
Subject Completion:
The allocation of a final mark and grade is heavily dependent on attendance and completion of the scheduled Assessment Program.
In situations where a student has a poor attendance record and/or has only completed a relatively small proportion of the total assessment program, it becomes difficult to allocate an accurate final mark and, therefore, the student may not be awarded a grade.
|
|
Academic Awards:
Award recipients will have the name of the award listed on their Semester One Report. There are two types of awards that recognise student progress at the completion of a Semester:
- Academic Honours - presented to students who achieve ‘A’ grades for two-thirds of the graded courses studied. To achieve Academic Honours, students must have completed a weighting of 75% or more of the assessments in the courses in which they have achieved ‘A’ grades. Students must also achieve a minimum of ‘C’ grade in Religious Education. State/Australian Curriculum 'A' grades achieved in lower school Extension and/or Advanced classes are also included in the calculation of Academic Honours.
- Sacred Heart Learner Award - presented to one student in each class who clearly demonstrates one of the following attributes in their learning: Critical Thinking; Perseverance; Collaboration; Independence; Engagement; Innovation.
Names of students who received Academic Honours and Sacred Heart Learner Awards are available below.
Photos from the Years 11 and 12 Awards Assembly are available on our Facebook page.

SEMESTER MARKS AND GRADES
A reminder that the marks and grades that appear on the Year 11 and 12 Semester One Report are progress marks and grades.

LEARNING ABOUT LEARNING: IT'S THE HOLIDAYS - WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME FOR STUDENTS TO CATCH THEIR BREATH AND THEN GET ORGANISED...
|
|
This week, let’s start by circling back to last week with some more thinking about goal-setting. The encouraging feedback from students was that while 85% of them plan to meet deadlines, many of them don’t achieve that goal, noting that limited motivation, lack of well-formed habits and poor planning skills get in the way.
The thing to keep in mind is that this 85% of students are clearly goal-oriented – it’s often that they just don’t have the process and skills in place to action their good intentions.
And this is where planning comes in to fill the gap between good intentions and success.
Most students have at least one planning mechanism – a diary, an Outlook calendar or sticky notes on their device, and this is a great start as it acknowledges the tasks ahead and signals a desire to manage them.
What most students don’t know is that they need, not one, but two or three planning layers to map out and manage their workload:
- Layer One: A daily method of collating and recording what’s due, what’s next and what’s just appeared or been allocated – this might be any of the methods above.
- Layer Two: A weekly planner to find the time to complete these tasks and to sort them into the what, when and how.
- Layer Three: A longer term-planner to look forward and schedule tasks due beyond the coming week or to create time to complete bits of a task progressively. Depending on the year level, this may be a five-week planner (Years 7-8), a term planner (Years 9-10) or a semester/full year planner (Years 11 and 12).
Reflecting on this, it becomes clear that students who only have Layer One planning methods are only collecting and collating work and they are often the ones who don’t manage to get their work done or, if they do, can also feel overwhelmed and out of control in peak workload periods.
The holidays are a wonderful time for students to take stock and look at the degree to which their good intentions have the structures in place to translate into success. The Semester One Report is a starting point for a conversation about how good planning breeds success and an opportunity to make a few changes that just might make all the difference.

STAYING WELL IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
|
|
We all know that unexpected changes can lead to increased feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and frustration and these can all be part of a very normal reaction to abnormal situations. In these times, it is even more important to do all that we can to look after our mental and physical health.
'Taking care of the basics' doesn’t need to be complicated, but can make a significant difference to how we feel and our overall health. Limiting junk food, staying active and connected to people we care about and having meaning and purpose can all be achieved every day - although they may need to look different from usual if restrictions are in place. If changes to normal routines make you feel extra stressed, focus on the parts of your day that you can control e.g. regular times to go to bed and get up and to exercise, eat meals and have an online catch-up with friends.
It is normal for our mind to try to warn us about what might happen and for us to imagine the worst that might happen at times. Developing an awareness of our thoughts and how they affect us can really help people avoid unnecessary anxiety. Thoughts are not facts or instructions and they don’t define who we are. Talking to someone you trust early and sorting out worries or concerns can help avoid unnecessary stress.
Please remember there are always people to talk to about anything that may be bothering young people - including telephone and online services. ReachOut.com and eHeadspace have lots of information, resources and online forums to connect to others and offer one to one counselling for young people aged 12 - 25 years and their family and friends. For anyone who wishes to speak to someone about an urgent concern, options include the Mental Health Emergency Response line (1300 555 788), Lifeline (13 11 14) and Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800).
While they maybe uncertain, hopefully these holidays can also provide everyone with opportunities for some fun, rest and relaxation.

YOUNG VINNIES UPDATE: BACKPACKS FOR THE HOMELESS AND OUR WINTER APPEAL
|
|
Last Thursday after school, 20 Young Vinnies students and several staff packed 97 backpacks for the homeless.
The brand new 'Kings' backpacks were filled with a blanket, towel, face cloth, socks, water bottle, beanie, a bag of toiletries and a novel and writing material. The toiletry bags were packed by the Year 10s at the Winter Sleepout and the other items in the backpacks were purchased using these students' sponsorship money. The backpacks were kindly donated by a parishioner at Our Lady of the Mission Parish in Craigie. A staff member also kindly donated a large box filled with brand new scarves which were also given to Passages.
On Monday this week, the majority of the backpacks were gratefully accepted by Passages who run drop-in centres for homeless teenagers in Northbridge and in the Peel Region. Some backpacks were also taken to Tom Fisher House which offers accommodation for homeless men in East Perth. Passages also received 14 sleeping bags which our Year 10s had donated after the Winter Sleepout. Ten of the backpacks were also given to Grace Café, a drop-in centre for the homeless in Joondalup.
|
|
At the Winter Sleepout, Passages staff mentioned that ladies' and men's underwear are very appreciated, so we purchased 110 pairs to donate to the above organisations.
Thanks to our generous community, our Young Vinnies Winter Appeal was also finalised this week, with three large bales filled with blankets, doonas and warm clothing collected from the College.
Many of these items have already been distributed to the many homeless that are braving the cold, wet weather and isolation due to COVID-19.
Thanks are due to our College community for all the above donations that are making such a difference to those in need.

SACRED HEART COLLEGE MEAL TRAIN: FROM FAMILY TO FAMILY
|
|
Thank you so much to our Meal Train volunteers who have so generously provided meals for Sacred Heart families in need.
Below is a thank you note recently received by Mrs Hywood;
"Dear Sacred Heart Community,
Thank you so much.
Our family is blown away by your generosity. I cannot express enough my gratitude for the compassion and thoughtfulness shown by our Sacred Heart community during such a stressful time in our little family’s life.
From the moment the school found out my husband was sick in hospital, the outpouring of support has astounded me – although it really shouldn’t have been a surprise as I know what a great community this school has, as I have witnessed it numerous times before.
Mrs Hywood immediately called me to offer to organise her team of volunteers to provide meals for us whilst I travelled to and from hospital. What a blessing this was.
The help allowed me to be with my husband for longer periods in hospital to help him throughout the day without having to rush home to prepare meals. It took away the stress of rushing home, having to think of what to cook, then prepping and cooking after a tiring and emotional day at hospital. What a relief it was to come home daily to a variety of delicious home-made meals. It was so generous that I was able to take it for lunch to the hospital the next day (the hospital café’s food was average at best and so expensive). I cannot thank you all enough.
I also heard that there were families that wanted to help that missed out as the Meal Train schedule was full. To these families I also wanted to thank you for your support. All the prayers and well wishes from staff and parents have been such a comfort to us during these testing periods.
My husband’s condition has improved since he was admitted two weeks ago, and with your prayers he is getting stronger and stronger each day. Looking forward to having him home soon as he is able to be cleared.
Forever Grateful."
If you would like to consider becoming part of our Meal Train, a service much appreciated by these grateful families, or would like further information, please email me at baskovich@sacredheart.wa.edu.au

CELEBRATING WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BORN TALENT
|
|
We may be in a lockdown right now, but there are so many things worth celebrating in WA, including our three very talented students who are category Finalists in the WA Music Award Song of the Year (SOTY) competition.
All of our hopeful SOTY winners were due to be performing on Wednesday evening at an Awards Ceremony, however, due to the current situation, this has been postponed until Wednesday 23 September.
ANGELINA CURTIS (Year 8 Normandy)
|
|
Angelina Curtis is a three time SOTY Finalist and is hopeful that she will be “third time lucky” in the U14s category this year. Her original song, Old Land’s Tale, was inspired by the natural beauty experienced on her travels throughout Australia – especially in Alice Springs and the entire Northern Territory.
Angelina has played the piano since she was six years old and wrote her first song at just nine years old. She took to busking at a community market event in Trigg when she was 12 and has never looked back.
When Angelina is not busy dreaming up new lyrics or writing melodies, she can be seen acting for the big screen. 2021 has been very eventful for Angelina, who has been busy playing the main character, Ellie, in an upcoming film called Cherubhead. Cherubhead has been filmed in Port Kennedy and is a claustrophobic, psychological drama thriller aiming for the Sundance Film Festival - the largest independent film festival in the United States. The team are preparing to wrap up filming and begin post-production in preparation for the Festival.
Angelina is signed to acting agency Now Actors and previously auditioned for Borderlands, a film starring Cate Blanchett and inspired by the video game of the same name.
You can listen to Old Land’s Tale HERE, Angelina's interview with ABC Radio HERE and learn more about Cherubhead HERE.
JORDAN ANTHONY (Year 11 Carden)
|
|
Jordan Anthony is a multi-nominated SOTY songwriter who is nominated in this year’s Act Belong Commit category for his original song, LOUD. Jordan wrote LOUD to remind himself and others to be proud, true to yourself and, of course, loud.
Jordan has loved singing from a young age and grew up with a musical family. His dad, Sam, is a Vocal Tutor and taught at Sacred Heart last term, his mum, Adele, recently starred in Legally Blonde the Musical and his younger sister, Sienna (Year 9 Carden), is a star singer in her own right, recently performing as the Genie in our Year 9 Musical Theatre class production of Aladdin Jr.
Jordan rose to fame after placing 4th on The Voice 2019 and represented Australia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Poland in that same year. At Sacred Heart, Jordan is a very active member of the Music family of students and staff and a great inspiration to all.
You can listen to Jordan’s song on his YouTube channel (HERE) or on Spotify or Apple Music.
SYDNEE CARTER (Class of 2015)
|
|
Sydnee Carter from our Class of 2015 is a multi-WA Music Award winner and has previously collaborated with Paces, SLUMBERJACK and 360. This year, her collaboration with Wasteland on the song Grid is a finalist in the Pop category.
Sydnee has loved song writing since the age of 10 and learnt to play guitar in primary school. She rocketed to fame in Season 6 of The X Factor Australia, where she placed 9th overall after being mentored by Ronan Keating.
Alongside Wasteland, Sydnee will be performing Grid at the SOTY Awards on Wednesday 23 September.
