Saint Ignatius College Geelong
For many years, I have encouraged students and parents to review the term’s progress at about this time. We are now past the halfway mark of term one. It is now a good time for our students to ask themselves how well they have established their daily and weekly routines and, in particular, the priorities reflected in their habits. For example, is schoolwork being given the importance it deserves and how balanced is the weekly program of activities? Are good meal routines and routines for those many housekeeping jobs are in place? What about their sleep routine?
It is obviously essential that students have settled into a good routine by now so that as the demands of the school program increase, they are in good stead to cope with the assignments and assessment tasks that will be set and be able to maintain the other activities necessary for a balanced life. In addition, developing good routines early in secondary school will help students establish patterns that will help them with the demands of the senior school program in their final years.
How can parents help their daughter/son establish a good routine? I am sure you are aware of many ways. However, I would like to suggest that now might be a good time to discuss with your daughter/son how they think they have commenced the year and ask them about their daily and weekly routines and what they may need help with or what she/he can do to improve her / his routines. It would also be helpful to ask them about the goals they set earlier in the year and whether they think they are off to a good start towards achieving them.
It is very pleasing to see many students participating in various activities. At St Ignatius, we encourage the development of well-rounded young women and men, so we offer a variety of co-curricular activities. By participating in sports, the performing arts, public speaking, debating, community service, environment group or social justice group, we can see a strong sense of community, fair play, leadership, and service fostered as well as the development of many different skills. I suggest that co-curricular involvement be considered in reviewing the term to date. What about joining a debating team, choir, or sports team?
As you are aware, on Thursday last week, we held the Annual House Swimming Carnival at Kardinia Pool Geelong on a pleasant summer’s day. As explained in my previous newsletter article, this year’s carnival was organised differently from previous ones. The feedback so far has been very positive overall. I congratulate all students who attended: nearly every student who was able competed, and I was impressed by the friendly and positive student behaviour. I was also delighted with the number of Years 9 to 12 students who voluntarily competed. Many senior students demonstrated encouraging leadership and were a great help on the day. As in previous years, many students swam very well and will go on to represent the College at the GISSA inter-school level.
Congratulations to Bradman House on winning the House Shield!
1st Bradman - 978 Points
2nd Elliott - 931 Points
3rd Fraser - 900 Points
4th Cuthbert - 869 Points
Thank you to our Sports Coordinator, Mr Andrew Philp, for organising and running the carnival.
On Wednesday, we commenced the Lenten period in the liturgical calendar of the Church year with ‘Ash Wednesday.’ Lent is a period of forty days leading to the high point of the Church’s year, Easter. During Lent, we are encouraged to reflect on our lives in the light of the example of Jesus. How are we travelling with our faith life? How can we improve our spiritual life and our relationship with God? What about our prayer life, worship and praise involvement, level of charity and service to others? We are encouraged to make Lent a particular time to reflect on and redirect our lives where necessary, so we can better align our ways to the values, actions, and truths of the Gospel.
On Ash Wednesday, students and staff participated in a Year Level liturgy involving the distribution of ashes. Each student was marked on the forehead with the Sign of the Cross in Ashes as part of this prayerful liturgy as a call to ‘Repent and believe in the Good News.”
As has been our practice, with the beginning of Lent this week, we launched our school-wide Project Compassion appeal in support of Caritas Australia.
Catholic communities across Australia support Project Compassion during Lent to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity. This year’s Project Compassion theme is ‘For All Future Generations’, a reminder that the good that we do today extends far beyond the present and impacts the lives of vulnerable communities for generations to come.
Money raised for Project Compassion goes towards Caritas Australia's humanitarian and long-term development programs in 27 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific and with Australia's First Peoples.
Students across the College will be encouraged to donate ‘loose change’ to the Project Compassion Boxes placed in their Homeroom and around the College. This is one way they can support the call to almsgiving during the Lenten period.
A reminder that Monday 14th March is a Public Holiday and the College will be closed for the day.
Best wishes for the next fortnight,
Michael Exton
Principal
The first thing that must be considered as we seek to make sense of the senseless nature of war is that warfare is sadly a very human behaviour. It is an act that we as humans all too often enter into. From the earliest times communities and in turn civilisations have fought against one another. The emotions that lead humans to accept the invitation to participate in warfare are conversely opposed to the intrinsic nature of our soul.
However, the Lord loves us unconditionally and offers us the preeminent gift of free will. In Genesis we see the primal emotion of jealousy overcome Cain who does the unthinkable and kills his brother. This story explains to us all conflicts throughout human history and offers us a perfect yet simple understanding of the events we see in the world at this time. At any time, we can choose God’s will or our own. When we choose our own will we acknowledge what God wants but choose what we want anyway. This is the story of Cain and Abel. In the modern word we see an allegory of this sacred story playing out in Ukraine. We see this occurring again today as the invasion of Ukraine unfolds. We as humans knowingly choosing what we want rather than the love that God wants us to understand and share in the world.
Many Christians look to the story of Job in difficult these times like these. In the Bible we encounter Job who suffers so much and prevails over evil through his faith in God. Sadly, this story is often misinterpreted and read in a literal manner. The God we know does not allow the suffering on his children. We individually choose if others suffer in our world; God does not choose. The story of Job is one of great faith but is limited in its underdeveloped awareness of God and our crucial role in the world. There is little comfort in the story of Job when we experience events like the invasion of Ukraine. To understand our Creator in the context of these events we need to read on.
In the New Testament we experience the complete and intimate revelation of God to humanity. Reading the Gospel can illuminate our understanding of our God and the events we see unfolding today.
Fr Gerry Healy SJ recently related a story to me of a video that he used in his first years of teaching. Very much like the Spiritual Exercises, the short video illustrated of the Trinity sitting up in heaven looking down upon the brokenness of the world. In looking at all the good and evil they decided someone had to go down and show humans a new way. The members of the Trinity drew straws and Jesus (God the Son) drew the short straw.
So Jesus was born into the world and experienced the fullness of human life. He healed without hesitation, taught us a new way, was rejected and killed. His sacrifice however was not in vain. With the most perfect expression of love he sacrificed himself for all people, of all time, personally and through his resurrection offers salvation for all people until and beyond the end of time.
Today, we see this love being offered in so many ways. Even in our fragile individual state we have the opportunity to act out this love each day. The ‘original’ Greek version of the Bible can offer us an insight into how we can as a single member of an earthly family of almost eight billion people can bring about the Kingdom of God; even in the face of enormous world events. Love is the answer. Love is the centre of our being. Love is all that exists. Warfare, hate, jealousy, in fact all that is wrong is the world is simply the absence or distortion of love.
As we live our lives we bring the perfection of our Creator into the world through love. The ‘original’ Bible is beautiful as it vividly describes love in its many forms; philia (friendship), eros (romantic), storge (family) and agape
(unconditional and indescribable in its perfection).
Regardless of the ‘type’ of love we offer each day we personally act out God’s plan in the universe. In loving others and ourselves as he does we become more like him and in doing so overcome the darkness of the world. The light always prevails. What we see the horrible events in Ukraine but it’s not the end of the story. If we look beyond the surface, the violence and evil of war, we see God overcoming the world. Through acts of love his presence brings light and peace even where destruction seems to rule. This truth and choice is found all over Ukraine and in fact all over our world – eternally!
During Lent let us make a choice in our community to choose God’s will and do all we can to make a difference in the world. We individually have great power over events in our lives and even those we see in Ukraine that can seem so overwhelming.
Our patron, St Ignatius of Loyola, knows this and prays for us. He experienced and acted upon the primal warlike emotions that drove him as a young soldier seeking fame and fortune. He also knows the contentment that is found only in our Lord and expressed only in love of our brothers and sisters. I wonder what advice our Saint would have about warfare at the end of his life and how his wisdom could soothe the hurt that leads one to violence. I am in awe of how the consolation he found in Our Lord, who calmed his soul and removed all that was not of Him. I pray that you reflect on his life and at this time experience the completeness of God’s love and that any concern or anxiety disappears as it did for Ignatius.
As we enter into Lent let us offer the Lord our concerns and rest in his peace. As the world around us grapples with another conflict, may God comfort you and bring you peace. All is well and all will be well. Our role in the world is to offer love and find peace and the fullness of consolation in our Creator. In achieving this we remove all anxiety and bring his Kingdom to life in our lives and our world.
May the Lord bless you with consolation and deep contentment as you enter into Lent. May he transform your heart and in doing so make visible his agape love to all who encounter you. May the Spirit bless and guide you and may Jesus our brother and friend walk with you in this journey.
Yours in Christ,

Teaching students the skills required to cope with challenges, on how to regulate their emotions and to learn the best way to support each other, provides a more supportive and conducive environment to learn in. With limited face-to-face learning over the past two years, it was timely and pertinent for the staff to be involved and to collaborate in this important workshop. In their Learning Focus Teams, staff participated enthusiastically and were well supported by the leading staff in the College.
The five presenters; Michael Timms, Bernadette Donnelly, Alex Simpson, Olivia Whitehead and Joe McLean, provided relevant information and activities based on:
Helping students to form a sense of belonging, to engage in their learning and to collaborate effectively with staff, parents, carers and peers will enable students to develop the social and emotional skills to grow into happy, respectful, well-balanced and successful members of our College and of the wider community.
One strategic outcome of SELF is to provide a central online location within the College for students, teachers, parent and carers to access each SELF Pillar. The link below provides information on the SELF Framework and support material. This site will continually be updated to provide the necessary information to help support our students, parent, carers and staff.

Year 12s have made a great start to the year with their text study of Runaway by Alice Munro; a wonderful collection of short stories written by a Nobel Prize Winning novelist. Before starting in class, most were ready to go having completed the pre-coursework reading activities. The Year 12 English teaching team, consisting of Ms. Andrea Dart, Ms. Gemma Etherington, Mr Michael Tod, Ms. Merrin Viljoen and Ms. Kate Cash will be there every step of the way throughout the year to guide and support our learners to achieve to their highest level. Preparation has started for the first SAC which is a creative response to the text. To help students think about and develop their work, the teaching team presented a text discussion panel at lunchtime on Friday 18th February. We talked about the characters, events and moments in the stories, and we also spoke about ways students might begin to explore ideas. It was a great way to start the year and the Academic Captain Audrey Hughan found it so useful she’s said we need one for each outcome. It is a great help for students to complete their first English SAC where we are thinking and writing about ideas including family cycles, social conventions, the importance of human connection and the ways we develop our identities. The SAC is in week 5 beginning on Monday 28th February.
Students are to keep an eye out for the next text discussion panel for the film study of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window in term 2.

Senior student leaders gathered in The Loyola Centre with members of the College’s Executive, student leadership development staff and other staff members to be officially presented with their badges and candles.
Although normally presented in a full College student leader investiture assembly the leaders of 2022 are determined to take action no matter what problems are presented this year and this gathering was organised in this spirit.
Thank you to all staff who contributed to the event and particularly Kim Abbott, Gail Myers & Andrea Nickels for their support with catering.

This year’s theme was ‘Show the Love’ – a timely one as it coincides with Valentine’s Day. The ILC have asked staff and students for love notes sharing your favourite books and why you love books and libraries.
Some of the love notes the ILC received are:
‘I love this library because it transports me to different worlds and have all sorts of adventures and live thousands of lives. ♡ ‘
‘I love this library because it provides me with all the fantasy books I read. The staff are always happy to give any recommendations and buy any requested books. The Book Club provides a space where book lovers can discuss and recommend books.’
‘I love this library because it is quiet and reading calms me.’
‘I love this library because the staff always give me new book recommendations and it houses some of my favourite book series. I love the Book Club that is held here; our conversations about books (and other things) are super fun. J ♡ ‘
‘I love the library. It provides me with knowledge and fun stories. I’m forever grateful for the times you have give me. Thank you.’
We wish to thank our Ignatian community for participating in this year’s Library Lovers’ Day and for helping us celebrate and acknowledge everything that libraries bring to our lives and communities.

Staff and students are cautiously optimistic that this year they will once again be permitted to perform and showcase their talents. Hopefully, we shall hear the sound of applause and see the smiling faces of students being so proud of their efforts.
Some concert dates are printed below, and more dates will be published in the College newsletter in the coming weeks.
This year we were delighted to welcome Mr Michael Wilding into the position of Band Coordinator.
The College bands are developing extremely well and with Michael at the helm, we hope to see many more students join the rehearsals at lunchtimes and perform at the many events this year.
Mr Tim Neal takes the Stage Band every Thursday lunchtime and Ms Doble- the Senior Band on Fridays before school.
Mrs Janice Wilding takes the Junior Band on Monday lunchtimes and she is very excited to see a number of new members. The band is quickly outgrowing their current room. There is a chance
we may have a new room very soon. More news on this after the Easter Bunny comes.
The Junior Band has relished the opportunity to rehearse together this term. Beginners and students from last year’s Year 7 classroom band program take their first steps in learning to play as a band and are thrilled to be supported and encouraged by so many older students. Learning “The Big Mambo” and “The Spook” so far this term, brings Monday lunchtimes to life!
(Mrs Janice Wilding)
The numbers of instrumental music lessons have increased since lockdown and I am sure the students are experiencing a new appreciation for learning an instrument face to face. This, we all took so much for granted before remote learning.
We welcome back Ms Teressa Duddy. Teressa taught classroom music early last year and after the birth of her second son, Sidney, she has now returned to our College as a vocal teacher. Students have been very excited to hear of her return and the music staff are also delighted to work with Teressa again.
Ms Nikki Zhao, our public speaking teacher, has been very impressed with her students this term and she looks forward to seeing parents and friends at the pubic speaking recital in May. This date will be published in the next newsletter.
Please see the link to an informative video Nikki has made about public speaking.
Public Speaking is all about exploring the expression of your ideas, feelings, and giving of information through discussion or talks. It is also about being able to communicate clearly so that the listener can hear and understand you. You will have the opportunity to speak in front of your fellow classmates, and also challenge yourself to be in front of an audience this semester.
Below is a link to a welcome video from me and a short introduction to our class.
(Ms Nikki Zhao)
At Saint Ignatius we have two piano tutors, Mr Tony Musella and Mr Adrian Montagnese. With piano studies becoming very popular, we welcome another piano teacher, Mrs Heather Wickes to join our team.
Heather has extensive experience in piano tuition, classroom music and also with accompanying. Heather been the accompanist for the Australian Youth Choir for many years and at present she is the accompanist for the Welsh Ladies choir.
We wish Heather all the best with her teaching at our college.
Last year we said farewell to our drum tutor, Mr Vish Vadivelu. We thank him for all he did at our college and for inspiring students to become wonderful drummers!
We are very fortunate to welcome Mt Tom Estoban. Tom was our drummer extraordinaire who played in the Wicked Orchestra, -our 2021 College production.
Tom is looking forward to meeting many new students every Wednesday.
Students often ask me if they need to buy a drumkit to commence drum lessons but I assure them that to begin with, their mum’s saucepans will be fine!
Maybe they should speak to Mr Estoban!
Parents who want to enrol their child for tuition in music or public speaking for next term are to go onto Operoo – “Private Music and Public Speaking Program 2022” and please fill out the form. There are only 5 weeks left and so I am ready to commence timetables and staffing for term 2.
Please email me if you have any problems or just want to chat.
Future concert dates and times for this semester are being finalised. Please see the dates of concerts already in the College calendar for this semester.
Looking forward to a great year for the Performing Arts department.
Regards,
Mrs Linda Pape

Below is a letter from year 11 student, Summer de Vries.
Summer, Lily Petterwood and Kiarna Grieve are all involed in Sweetfest this coming Sunday.
On Behalf of Sweethearts, I wanted to let you know about a free all ages music festival, Sweetfest, we are putting on Sunday March 6th in Geelong CBD. It would be great if you could share this around your community.
From 11am Sunday 6 March Geelong’s own Sweethearts will finally have the opportunity to take over the City when Sweetfest rolls into town. Having been postponed twice last year, the festival is finally happening and presents a great line up of female talent.
The Arts Industry Commission funded project Sweetfest will present a powerhouse line-up including a solo set from Alex Lahey (2018 ARIA Award nominee break-through artist-release), Hayley Mary (ex The Jezabels), and Emma Donovan and The Putbacks, along with Geelong’s own Sweethearts, showcasing the strength and depth of female musicians in Geelong and across Melbourne.
The free event also features 20 different acts including Fulton Street; Cry Baby; Rach Brennan; Libby Steel; Mink Mila; Sarah Carroll; Andrea Robertson; Carly Robertson; Hassall; Operation Karma; and others.
Councillor Eddy Kontelj, Chair – Arts, Live Entertainment and Hospitality Portfolio says “The work we have been doing through the Arts, Live Entertainment and Hospitality portfolio is really starting gain traction and Council is proud to support Sweetfest as a showcase of all things music within Greater Geelong, especially by female musicians. The Sweethearts Foundation has pulled off a coup by announcing Alex Lahey (solo), Hayley Mary and Emma Donovan and The Putbacks as headlining Sweetfest for this unique celebration.”
“Through the joy of live music, this event will help draw visitors into Central Geelong, creating a vibrant atmosphere and generating increased trade for bars, restaurants and other venues, which is particularly important at this time.”
“Hosting quality events such as Sweethearts reflects our intent for Geelong to become the live entertainment hub of Australia,”
The Festival will take place over four stages, including an outdoor stage on the Johnstone Park forecourt and in the Little Malop St Precinct, including Pistol Pete’s Food & Blues; West End Upstairs and Beav’s Bar, with some acts live streaming via Sweethearts Youtube Channel for those who can’t make it.
Sandy Thompson, secretary of Sweethearts Foundation comments that “The Sweethearts Foundation are excited to provide a platform for live performance and are proud to present a free all ages music festival that celebrates women in music. Sweetfest is another element of the Foundations work that aims to broaden the opportunities to women throughout the Geelong and Melbourne areas”
Sweetfest is an initiative of the Sweethearts Foundation, celebrating women in music by providing performance opportunities for female musicians from across the City of Greater Geelong and Melbourne.
Sweetfest is supported by the City of Greater Geelong through the Arts & Culture Department, Arts Industry Commissions.
Kind regards,
Summer de Vries

Saint Ignatius College Geelong is proudly a Jesuit Companion School.
This week the Year 12 VCAL students planned, organised and hosted a ‘Welcome to VCAL’ breakfast for the Year 11 students and staff. They also planned and organised the Caritas Pancakes for Shrove Tuesday. The students were able to demonstrate skills such as team work, problem solving, initiative, time management and communication. We have also been lucky enough to hear from past VCAL students and their journey post-secondary school. The Year 12 VCAL students have also launched into Structured Work Place learning which compliments their studies and creates connections in the workplace for our students.
The Vocational Education Training in schools (VETis) has also been in motion since the beginning of the school year. Our students are studying a wide range of VET courses, from Kitchen Operations, Auto mechanics, Beauty, Early Childhood Education and Care through to Design Fundamentals. The VETis program is a vital component of the VCAL program developing real world skills for each student’s chosen pathway.
In all, there is much to look forward to in the coming weeks in the VCAL program.

This webinar will cover the following information.
For some of us, raising teens tests us in new ways we could never have imagined. They’re not bad kids (usually...). But they’re experiencing life in new ways, and they really want their space. They want their friends. They want their independence. And... they mostly want it NOW. But there are things we can do to make this transition to adulthood delightful. There are important developmental realities that teens grow through. Being aware of them, and how the teenage brain works, can make raising them on their transition to adulthood delightful. We can harness our teen’s enormous positive energy, form bonds and connections that will sustain a lifetime of joy, and guide their decision-making process in life-changing, meaningful ways.
Building on cutting-edge psychological science, this presentation guides parents to the solutions they want, so that they can build beautiful connections with their teens. Parents will uncover why the most common "truths" about the teenage brain aren't actually correct, and what science really tells us about their challenging decision-making. Parents will learn how to really connect, even when their teen is trying to disconnect. They’ll unpack ways to set effective limits together with their teens so they can make safe, healthy decisions. And they’ll tap into the bright side of having teens, so the whole family can feel more joy.
We look forward to you logging on and enjoying being part of the Happy Families Team.

Development Manager
