"Be strong and courageous...for...your Lord will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Week 3, Term 3

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

FAMILY

I, like many of the staff, have been enthralled by the Olympics during the past fortnight. Seeing the beautiful spirit of sportsmanship in the time of pandemic has been good for our souls. At a recent College Leadership Team meeting, every member shared their best Olympic moment. Most of us recalled not a time run, a height jumped, or a weight lifted, but a moment when athletes bonded. We recalled the shared Gold Medal high jumpers from Qatar and Italy hugging, the two fallen middle distance runners helping each other up and jogging to the line together, the pole-vaulting fraternity applauding the champion, Caleb Dressel honouring Kyle Chalmers, the mutual respect between Katie Ledecky and Ariarne Titmus and the Australian beach volleyballers hugging their friends from Canada that they had just defeated. All these marvellous athletes were part of the Olympic family.
 
Recently, Sr Marie-Therese Ryder RNDM, a College Advisory Council Member, asked me to write a reflection about our Vietnam Mission and what it meant to me. Our Vietnam Mission is in recess because of the pandemic but any of us who ever took part still feel part of something bigger, part of the Vietnam Mission family. This is what the Vietnam Mission meant to me - an opportunity to belong to a group with a common set of values, a family. In our Vietnam Mission’s case, we all shared in the RNDM Sisters’ values of service and compassion.
 
On every Vietnam Mission, staff and students worked closely together in challenging conditions and confronting situations. Living and working so closely together for so long, it was inevitable that we exposed our frailties, faults and foibles to each other and, we finally came to be a family, forgiving and fiercely protective of each other. 
 
Earlier this year, our Cultural Captains, Millie Koloymjec (Year 12 Barlow) and Rachael Hogan (Year 12 Barlow) spoke about their experience in our stunning We Will Rock You production. They said that through all the hard work, the ups and downs, the struggles and the triumphs, what emerged in the end and what was lasting, was that they had become a family. I asked Millie what she thought defined a family. She said it was when people trusted each other. Despite all the little things that went wrong as they rehearsed, she said there was always a feeling that everyone in the group could depend on each other. 
 
I remember hearing the victorious 2018 West Coast Eagles attributing their Premiership to a culture of “friends, family and flags.” You see this in good teams. Players are ready to sacrifice more for each other, to take the heat to put another player in a better position and to share in the triumphs and tribulations.
 
There is something special about family. We are inspired and encouraged by connection to a common enterprise. Christian families, like a mother’s love, are the epitome of unconditional love and acceptance.  Right from birth, this is where we learn right from wrong, and where we grow and develop safe from the harder judgements of the outside world. We all crave belonging to a group like this where we can be accepted for who we are. For the athletes, the competition is one thing, but the opportunity for each of them to forever belong to the Olympic family is a powerful draw. So many of them have the ‘five rings’ tattooed on their bodies.
 
Like the genius John Lennon, I sometimes imagine what the world could be if we all realised that we belong to one human family, that we all breathe the same air and we all love our children. 
 
“Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace.”
 
Catholic schools across Australia will be celebrating Family Week from Sunday 8 August - Saturday 14 August. This is to recognise the partnership our schools have with parents and caregivers; the first educators of children across the planet and to honour the place of family in our society. It is significant that Family Week coincides with the Feast Day of St Mary MacKillop, Australia’s first saint and a passionate educator and an advocator for children and families. Our own Mary MacKillop Centre demonstrates the powerful force for good that a close and loving family can provide. 

I commend Pope Francis’ Prayer to the Holy Family to you.

AUSTRALIAN CENSUS - TUESDAY 10 AUGUST

The Australian census on Tuesday 10 August 2021 will provide a snapshot of who Australians are and what is important to us. The census is a key tool that government uses to determine how organisations, schools, church ministries and community groups are prioritised, funded and empowered to best operate in our state.
 
If your faith is important to you or if you identify with Christian values, please use your voice in the Australian census when asked your religion.
 
This is an important opportunity to demonstrate the significance of faith-based families in our West Australian community and will support endeavours to secure equitable access to opportunities and resources.

FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION

NEXT ARTICLE
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration, which marks a holy transformation. We often identify with Peter, James and John in the wonderment which they express on that mountain - Jesus glowing white and holy before them. Needless to say, it would be a pretty spectacular event to witness. But what are they wondering at? 
 
Luke’s tale of the Transfiguration stresses not so much what happens to Christ in as much as it shows Peter, James, and John what will happen to them. But, it is for us too. We Christians, by following the pillar of fire and cloud of Christ, are undergoing a transformation. It is a transformation that can show us how love can save us all. Even the cockroach need not fear. As with Christ, our lives also have their crosses and dark moments. Ultimately, however, all these crosses lead to glory. This glory is the goal and promise Christ holds out to us all - everywhere, in every situation, for all time!

ST MARY OF THE CROSS MACKILLOP

This Sunday, we celebrate Australia’s only Saint, Mary of the Cross Mackillop. You can find out more about this incredible lady HERE
 
Together with the Order she founded, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart, we give thanks for her impact and presence in Australia and for the continuation of her work and charism. 
 
Living God, animating presence in our world, 
with gratitude, we remember the life of Mary MacKillop, 
her influence in our world and her legacy in our Josephite spiritual homeland.
Inspire us, as her women, to be fully alive in your mission and faithfully kind among your people. 
We ask this in the name of Jesus, friend of the poor
and the Spirit, filling us with confidence.
Amen.

LEARNING: IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING COMFORTABLE

NEXT ARTICLE
The Olympic Games come around once every four years and, if your family is like my family, you have been wallowing in the two-week opportunity to witness humanity at its finest on a global stage - competing within agreed boundaries and exhibiting camaraderie in a series of events that are (for the first time in Olympic history) almost breathtakingly inclusive.

And that’s before we marvel at the athleticism …

It’s all too easy to forget as we cheer the sensational athletic performances that behind each and every athlete is year upon year upon year of blood, sweat and tears. True, these athletes may have been gifted with talent or they may even have been lucky, but these elements were only the proverbial ‘foot in the door’. What opened the door was something entirely different: it was the powerful concoction of determination, resilience, perseverance and self-belief, backgrounded by thousands of hours of ‘virtuous practice’ as they trained towards the elusive ‘perfection’.

So, what does this have to do with learning you say? The analogy works like this …

Anything worth having is hard to get (like a gold medal at the Olympics) - success as a learner is hard to achieve and requires the same skill set as Olympic success: determination, resilience, perseverance and self-belief. If learning success was easy, everyone would have it. It’s desirable, precisely because it is hard to get.

James Nottingham makes this really simple in his Learning Pit challenge – he reminds us that learning occurs when we step out of our comfort zone into a space that is uncomfortable and HARD. Cognitive scientists call this cognitive dissonance (aka mental challenge). Nottingham suggests that until we get into the pit, we cannot develop as learners.

So, what’s the message here?

When our students are grappling with a concept that’s hard, it’s actually OK. A level of discomfort puts them into the learning pit and, if supported appropriately with explanation, practice and resources, they can accept the challenge, work through the discomfort and find their own "AHA!" moments.

If our students are to grow as learners, they need to experience the Learning Pit. It’s the recipe for independence as learners and success as adults.

It’s our role as educators and parents to know when to when to push our students into the learning pit, when to let them flail around, when to offer a flotation device and when to let them gulp in some seawater before learning to swim. And that’s a pathway to a gold medal…

IMPETIGO (SCHOOL SORES)

NEXT ARTICLE
We have had a few confirmed cases of Impetigo (school sores) at Sacred Heart College.
  • Impetigo is a highly contagious type of skin infection caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria.
  • The infection is characterised by inflamed blisters that pop, weep and form crusts.
  • Treatment options include antibiotic cream, ointment, antibiotic syrup or tablets.
  • A child with Impetigo should be kept home from school or day care until appropriate treatment has begun and the sores on exposed areas are covered with a waterproof dressing and, where necessary, a crepe bandage.
  • Impetigo can be prevented by practising good personal hygiene.
Please let the school know if you need to keep a student home and why.

NAIDOC WEEK AT SACRED HEART: HEALING COUNTRY AND TRULY HEARING OUR STOLEN GENERATIONS

NEXT ARTICLE
Pictured: Kynan Gallen, Evie McAlpine, Mrs Joanne Abraham, Emily Keys and Christian Fazzari with the Australian Government's Apology to Australia's Indigenous Peoples.

Late last term, Mrs Butt's and Mr Miocevich's Year 10 History classes sat down and listened to College parent Mrs Joanne Abraham talk about her experience as a member of the Stolen Generations. While we had already learnt much about this topic during class and in earlier school years, hearing from someone directly affected by such practices of assimilation gave a whole new level of understanding to students. Instead of knowing facts and figures, we were able to gain a complete personal understanding of Mrs Abraham’s experiences (which many First Nations people have similarly faced), especially when she compared her own childhood with that of Mr Miocevich, the Head of Humanities, who grew up in a white, non-indigenous, Australian household.

Mrs Abraham provided accurate historical evidence of her experiences, such as photos of her family, maps of the Aboriginal exclusion zone in Perth from 1927-1954 and documents like the Aborigines Protection Act of 1909. Mrs Abraham spoke of the emotional toll of the experience and how it had affected generations of her family; her grandmother, who was forced to attend a school for 'lighter-skinned' Aboriginal people; her mother, who was forced to grow up in a 'school' for Indigenous Australians and had to give up two of her children at birth; and how Mrs Abraham being taken from her mother and stripped from her Aboriginal culture, deeply affected her throughout her adolescent and adult life. An article could not fully cover the stories of horror and sadness that Mrs Abraham explained to both Year 10 History classes.
Mrs Abraham outlined how previous stereotyping of First Nations people by British colonisers has influenced mainstream Australian culture to this very day. Through white people's fears, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are thought of by many as criminals, alcoholics and homeless. These stereotypes have been extremely harmful towards the Aboriginal communities. Mrs Abraham explained how her nephew, at the young age of 14, was the victim of a hit-and-run accident involving a car driven by two white men. They assumed that he was involved in criminal activities as he was riding a new bike in the local neighbourhood. This experience resulted in Mrs Abraham’s nephew withdrawing socially, as he was too scared to leave the house for fear that he would be attacked again.

As Sacred Heart College is a predominantly white Catholic secondary school and community, there are many ways that non-indigenous students can help. Mrs Abraham encouraged Year 10 students to assist with or support: Whilst young Australians receive education on the Stolen Generation from late primary school and onward, Mrs Abraham gave both Year 10 History classes an educational, first hand insight into the true nature of the forcible removal of children under successive federal state and territory governments from 1910 to the 1970s and how it has continued to harm the First Nations people to this day.

NAIDOC Week will be celebrated at the College next week.

ROBOCUP STATE FINALS

NEXT ARTICLE
On Saturday, over 500 students from all over WA gathered at Curtin University to compete in RoboCup Soccer, Rescue and Performance disciplines.

Sacred Heart continued our strong performances with a 1st and 2nd place in Rescue Maze Open and 1st place in the Standard Soccer.

The Robo Sapiens team of James Neal (Year 9 Normandy), Jordan Watson (Year 9 Normandy) and Nicholas Di Falco (Year 9 Carden) dominated the Rescue competition, setting an Australian record for points scored in a competition.

Our No Idea team of Keegan Watson (Year 11 Normandy), Jeff Liu (Year 11 Thu Duc) and Adam Burgess (Year 11 Normandy) performed strongly for a 2nd place finish. Both teams have spent uncountable hours perfecting their robots and the extra polish of innumerable "failures" clearly showed.

Our Soccer team of Jayden David-Moss (Year 11 Thu Duc) and Lucas Favazzi (Year 11 Normandy) were late entrants into the Soccer competition but improved their robots over the course of the competition to have an easy win in the Final against Rossmoyne Senior High School.

All our teams showed the expected Sacred Heart spirit by assisting competitors and showing good humour throughout the event.

Well done to our RoboCup State Finalists.

YEAR 9 STUDENTS COMPETE IN JUST START IT STATE FINALS

NEXT ARTICLE
On Friday, three of our Year 9 Just Start IT teams competed in the State Finals. 

The Just Start IT competition brings Silicon Valley methodologies and industry mentors into the classroom to help teams create their very own technology startup. Students at Sacred Heart generally do this in the form of an app that helps solve a problem or issue in the world.

Whilst our three teams did not qualify for the National Finals and iAwards, I was incredibly impressed with the effort the students put into validating their amazing ideas, their initiative and the real life learning they demonstrated along the way.

Our State Finalists were:
  • Farm Online by Grace Kane (Trinity), Alicia Ryan (Kimberley) and Caitlin Leahy (Trinity) - an online tool to help farmers cut the supply chain and sell directly to customers at weekend markets, where customers can pre-order produce and view farmers' profiles.
  • Activity Mash by Alvaro Blackall (Hannan) and Riley Burns (Kimberley) - a teen friendly site that let kids know what is happening close to home and all the things they can go out and do to get them off their devices - a one stop shop. The team who validated their idea by meeting with representatives from two city councils.
  • Priage by Ella McAfee (Carden), Chris Baker (Hannan) and Nicholas Di Falco (Carden) - an app to help solve problems within the triage system in our hospitals. The team met with the Deputy CEO of Joondalup Hospital and Royal Perth Hospital to help validate their idea.
Well done to our entrepreneurs!

ATHER10 CHESS TOURNAMENT

NEXT ARTICLE
Whilst the Olympics have captured the imagination of Australia, we have the inaugural Ather10 Sacred Heart Chess Tournament happening digitally via iPads. 

We have 16 ‘chess masters’ eagerly awaiting their games. The first game of the tournament was between Taylor Beresford-Pierse (Year 7 Normandy) and Luke Smelter (Year 8 Hannan), with Luke eventually winning. The rest of us watched their moves anticipating what we would do!

We look forward to bringing you the full set of results in the coming weeks.

YEAR 7 GATE STUDENTS TOUR THE PERTH CBD

NEXT ARTICLE
Following our great chat on all things architecture with Mr Adam Alexander from Parry & Rosenthal last week, our Year 7 GATE classes travelled to the city on Monday and Tuesday to learn about the various periods of architecture evident.

We were very excited that Mr Vaughan Sadler, Principal of Sacred Heart from 1992 - 1999, was the City of Perth tour guide volunteer on our walk. 

We also took the opportunity to visit the dad of our classmate, Cally Wu (Year 7 Carden), in his architecture office and heard more about the work they do.

It was a wonderful morning for both classes and fortunately the rain held off during our two hour tour!

DON'T MISS OUT ON SEEING COSÍ LIVE AT SACRED HEART!

NEXT ARTICLE
Our Year 9s and 10s are excited to bring Australian playwright Louis Nowra's play Così to life in the RNDM Theatre from 6:30pm on Thursday 19 August and Friday 20 August.

The Sydney Theatre Company describe the play as: "set in a psychiatric facility, Così is a play about friendship, romance, community and difference. It’s 1971 and Australia is protesting the war in Vietnam. But inside the hospital, the resident patients are listening to Mozart, learning their lines and occasionally skipping their medication. It’s art, it’s mayhem, it’s a wonderful roller coaster all the way to opening night.

The icing on the cake is that it’s all based on playwright Louis Nowra’s own life. In the 1970s, he himself directed a musical with patients from Melbourne’s Mont Park Psychiatric Hospital. The one-off performance brought joy to everyone involved."


Tickets are $10 per person (plus a $0.50c fee per ticket) and can be booked HERE.

Please come along and support our talented students in The Arts.
