In recent weeks another group of students graduated from St Bede’s College after spending six
years in secondary schooling. It is an important moment in their lives and the life of the College.
As Principal I began my term of office with this group of young men and as such introduced them
to the five Guiding Principles. Hopefully, as they begin to plan and look towards an adult world
our five guiding principles will be something on which they can base their lives. They are key
values which are at the heart of the way we operate as a Christian society. For these young men
they are values which are not only Lasallian but also Catholic. As students of St Bede’s College
they carry these guidelines with them from the moment they were baptised, the mark of the
Christian baptism which is the journey of a new life built strongly around the story of the Cross.
It is my desire, as these young men leave the College, that they do so with fond memories of
positive relationships with staff and friends. They also leave with these five values inscribed on
their hearts forever. They are values to be cherished and lived by. To the Year 12 Class of 2012, I
thank you for your service to the College Community; and from the entire student and staff body,
we wish these boys our best for the future.
th
On Thursday, 18 October the annual Art, Technology & Music Show was held at the College in
the Sports Centre. This was a display of work students have done over the past 12 months in the
area of art, visual communication, wood, metal, systems technology and media. Many hours of
work and creative talent went into the production of such work and we congratulate the
teachers and their students for the fine quality of what was produced. This year the Art Show
followed a display of the fine musical talent of our students. Hopefully many families spent a
little time viewing the fine work that their sons produced.
At the end of this year the students who enrolled into Years 11 and 12 for 2013 will have two
weeks of the ‘Flying Start’ Program. This program is compulsory for all students in these areas
as they commence their senior studies for VCE. The teachers will be covering work which is part
of the curriculum for that year level and subject. It will not be covered again and the purpose is
to give our senior students a flying start to Years 11+12. This initiative is excellent and has my full
support because it is clearly saying to the St Bede’s College students that senior work is on
another level and the earlier they can commence and complete work in these two weeks, will set
a positive tone for the following 12 months. Students will also have some work to complete
over the long holiday period. I would ask all parents to make sure that their son is present
th
during these two weeks with holidays commencing after 7 December.
As parents you would be aware of the extensive building program that has been undertaken over
the past two years and that the new and excellent facilities have provided a wonderful modern
learning environment for your son(s). The College needs to meet its responsibility for the cost of
such facilities and therefore it is important that all families complete their payment of school fees
which they promised at the time of their enrolment.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Plan Your Own Enterprise Competition
The Certified Practising Accountants “Plan Your Own Enterprise Competition Prize Giving Ceremony” was held this year at CPA
th
Headquarters, Freshwater Place, Southbank on 13 September 2012. Four Year 11 students represented St Bede’s College in the
team competition final: Joseph Callaghan, Toby Santiago, Dominic Paul, and Michael Hoskin. The competition is open to all
secondary schools in Victoria.
This is the second time St Bede’s College has made it to the final judging, having won in 2010.
This year’s competition required students to prepare a business
plan based on an innovative business idea. The boys named their
business Laughing Hyena, a comedy club type concept offering a
meal and entertainment. The business plan consisted of 28 pages
including appendices. The plan detailed the location of the
business as well as the legal and financial aspects of the proposed
organisation.
The boys were the only male participants in the final judging of
both the team and individual sections of the competition. The
announcement of the place getters saw Brunswick Secondary
College (last year’s winners) third, St Bede’s College second and
St Catherine’s School Toorak, first. The boys had a fun time
preparing the plan and making the final. As the guest speaker at
the prize giving ceremony, David Southwick, MP State Member
for Caulfield, stated that making the final makes you a winner.
The boys were a great credit to their Business Management
teacher Ms Georgia Pavlou.

Camp La Salle 2012
Camp La Salle is run in many Lasallian schools around the country. In August, Year 8 students from St Bede’s College joined those
from St James’ College East Bentleigh, De La Salle College Malvern and St John’s College Dandenong in Phillip Island for Camp La
Salle Melbourne. The four-day event was co-ordinated by Lasallian graduates who volunteered to be leaders and mentors. The
group expended lots of energy on activities including an Amazing Race around parts of the island, swimming, beach Olympics and
getting to know students from the other schools. A big thank you goes to our Year 8 Co-ordinator, Ms Carmel Moloney, the
homeroom teachers and Br Garry for their support, and to the Lasallian youth leaders and former students for their friendly
guidance and encouragement.

LLOTE News (Language Other Than English)
LOTE students across all year levels have been busy throughout the year. In May, all LOTE students in Years 9 and 10 participated in
the annual Language World Championships. This online language competition runs for 10 days and gives students the opportunity
to test their language skills while adding a competitive edge. St Bede’s LOTE students competed against 800 other schools around
the globe! Overall, St Bede’s ranked in the top 30% of all schools that participated. Well done to all students for their efforts.
Congratulations to the students that were awarded certificates and a special mention must be extended to Tyler Alphonso (Year
9 French) for winning an iPod shuffle.
Every year the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) holds a series of tests for language students to assess language
competence. These tests are in the form of listening comprehension and/or reading comprehension. Many students attained
pleasing results and several students qualified for a Certificate of Distinction. Furthermore, three of St Bede’s College LOTE students
will receive a Certificate of High Distinction for their outstanding results. Those students are Jake Bignoux and Kyle Conway
(both Year 8 French) and Matthew Francis (Year 10 Italian).
Unit 4 LOTE students will have completed their VCE Oral Examination in these past few days. The Written Examination will be held
in November, during the official VCE examination period. These examinations are a culmination of the many years of studying a
language and test students’ various skills in communication. All the best to the Unit 4 LOTE students for their upcoming
examinations.
There are 14 Italian students in Years 9-11 that will end the school year on a very high note. These students are embarking on a
fantastic 14 day journey to Italy that will allow them to experience first-hand the Italian language and culture. Students will travel to
Rome, Florence and Venice with a few day trips in between. In-country tours are pertinent to language studies as they give the
learner the opportunity to practise their communication skills in ways that cannot be replicated in the traditional classroom
environment. The students are looking forward to visiting the many historical monuments and landmarks and, of course, savouring
the many culinary delights Italy has to offer.

First Aid
HOLIDAY & FESTIVAL ASTHMA TRIGGER WARNING
The upcoming holiday season and festivities planned during Term 4 and throughout the summer holidays may mean that your child
is exposed to new triggers for his asthma. It is important for parents, carers and children themselves, to be aware of changes to
their environment and the activities that may impact on their asthma.
Christmas trees, both real and artificial could be triggers for people with asthma. Artificial trees may be quite dusty after being
stored away, while both real and artificial trees may harbour mould. It is important to ensure that artificial trees are cleaned
appropriately and that care is taken to select real trees that do not produce wind-borne pollen. All tree and other decorations
should be cleaned and free from dust and mould when used at home.
Scented candles, room deodorisers and air fresheners may also trigger asthma in those susceptible to perfumes and care should be
taken when purchasing these and other scented items at home.
Lastly, the added pressures of the year drawing to a close can cause stress and anxiety for many people, potentially triggering
asthma attacks. It is important to consider ways that the whole family can enjoy the holidays and feel safe, happy and comfortable.

St Bede’s College ACC Cross Country Results
th
Once again this year, we had a good lead-up to the ACC Cross Country event held as usual at Bundoora Park on Wednesday 12
September. There was the House Cross Country and three Trial Runs, on the last of these, we had 85 runners. This was very
encouraging and we were getting great support from the Seniors which is always a good sign. Jake Townley was our very worthy
Cross Country Captain. Jake has been a great representative of the school in this sport, ever since his first place in Under 13 and he
was a real leader in his final year.
On the morning of the Carnival, the support was fantastic. There were only two absentees from the whole team and there were
Year 12s who were sent back to class disappointed not to be running - something unheard of for many years. Our first race was
competitive and then the Under 14s were looking very good when Michael Hurst was first to finish in the fabulous time of 9:43,
closely followed by Matt Crowley in 4th. At this time a sprinter broke down and only at the end of the day did we hear that this
strong team was second. St Bernard’s won by two points.
Our Under 15 team was a good one and the boys tried hard but, for some reason, we scored only 155 points and that hurt us. The
Under 16s who went into the day undefeated as an age group, came home a little disappointed as they were awarded second place.
But, when the official results came out at the end of the next day, we saw they were awarded equal first place on 75 points with St
Bernard’s, maintaining their undefeated record; a great achievement and one for these boys to preserve in their final two years
here. Our Under 17s were a great age group and we had a number of the boys from this age group running up in the Seniors but,
rd
once again, we took a hit with a score of 150 points. Jake Townley did his best to set matters right with a Captain’s run for 3 place
in the Senior age group.
In the end, our opposition were just too good. We fielded an excellent team: our best for a number of years and yet our results were
not as good. We lost again to St Bernard’s with our score of 689 putting us 221 points behind their 468. The only conclusion is that
the bar is moving higher. While we are getting better, so are they — including Parade and De La Salle, once again on the rise.
However, that should not detract from the tremendous team effort required to secure second place, the winning of the Junior Cup
and the Under 16s maintaining their undefeated record.
I want to thank all the boys involved, both runners, reserves and others who tried out; that is what made us such a strong team. The
coaches were, as always, marvellous: Messrs Justin Eke, Brendan Fordham, Mark Robinson, Gerard Jackson, Paul Last, Sam Radford
and Kevin Rafferty. Naturally, we are very proud of the young men who represented us in 2012 and I will conclude by reminding all
our team what the St Bernard’s coach said to them: they are beatable – and we are the ones who can do it.

Public Speaking
It has been a massive couple of months in the field of Public Speaking!
LEGACY JUNIOR PUBLIC SPEAKING AWARD:
After a strong first round effort, Matthew Slater (Year 8.3) was invited to speak in the preliminary final stage of Legacy’s Junior
th
Public Speaking Award on 11 September 2012. A small support base travelled to the Dandenong RSL to support Matt as he
presented a newly created speech on “Homelessness” and also two impromptu speeches for this state-wide competition. Matt was
rewarded for his diligent work and excellent presentation style by being named one of the winners from this final, and therefore
received an invitation to speak in the Victorian Grand Final of this competition, to be held at the Iwaki Auditorium in the ABC Centre,
th
Southbank on Friday 19 October. All the best to Matt as he prepares to compete in this prestigious event!
BR QUENTIN O’HALLORAN PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENING:
The quality of our own College competitions has been phenomenal this year. Not only did our year level speak-offs from Years 7-10
reveal a depth of public speaking talent, but our own Br Quentin O’Halloran Public Speaking evening was of the highest quality. Our
th
twelve best speakers from across the year levels took part in this annual evening, held on Tuesday 11 September 2012 in the
Auditorium. The following boys are to be congratulated on their fine public speaking efforts as they thoroughly impressed the
audience present on the night:

time to help out.

LASALLIAN PUBLIC SPEAKING CHALLENGE:
From this, the above-mentioned six year level winners continued on to represent St Bede’s College in fine style at the Lasallian
th
Public Speaking Competition, held this year at St James College (East Bentleigh) on Monday 17 September. These students
competed against the best public speakers from De La Salle and St James’ Colleges.
It was a very successful night – FIVE out of our SIX public speakers won their year level sections: Stan Mavroudis (Year 8), Matthew
Mottola (Year 9), Sean Hollis (Year 10), Chris Davie-Smythe (Year 11) and Patrick Dobson (Year 12). Jackson Lee (Year 7) was also
outstanding in his section.
We are also pleased to announce that for the second year in a row, we had the best overall public speaker: PATRICK DOBSON. All
six speakers were extremely polished in presenting both their prepared and impromptu speeches and are to be congratulated on
their efforts and achievements.
ROTARY’S “FOUR-WAY TEST” PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION:
Sean Hollis complemented his excellent work in the school competitions with a stellar effort in the first-round heat of Rotary District
9810’s “Four-Way Test” Public Speaking Competition for Year 10 students. Consequently, he was invited back to participate in the
th
semi-final round for this competition, which will be held on the evening of Wednesday 17 October. Congratulations to Sean on
this feat and hopefully he can progress even further in this competition.

On Friday 19 October, a group of Year 7-9 students attended the 2012 Legacy Junior Public
Award’s State Final, in support of Matthew Slater (Year 8.3) who earned his place in this
final stage of the competition. Matt, and the other eleven contestants from around Victoria,
presented a prepared speech of their choice and on this occasion, Matt selected to present his
Preliminary Final speech on “Homelessness” again for this section and spoke extremely
confidently in doing so. For the impromptu section, all competitors were given five minutes to
speak on the set topic of “Expectations”, and Matt’s two-minute short-notice speech was of an
extremely high standard, impressing the audience with his public speaking creativity and flair.
While he narrowly missed out on securing a place in the National Finals, he received the only
other award presented – an “honourable mention” – in recognition of his outstanding efforts
on the day. Congratulations to Matt on his achievement in this competition – a fine example of
the public speaking talent at St Bede’s College!
Robyn Kensley – PUBLIC SPEAKING
It is hard to believe that another school year is rapidly drawing to an end. The Year 12 Class of 2012 are on the cusp of finishing
their secondary education and now move into revision mode in
preparation for their VCE exams starting next week.
The Year 12s have been involved in a number of farewell
ceremonies. A whole school assembly and the House farewells
nd
took place on Monday 22 October, while the Valete Mass and
rd
Dinner was celebrated on Tuesday 23 October.
These festivities, coupled with warmer weather and a sense of
new-found freedom that comes with recently turning 18, will
present a real challenge to some of the boys to remain focussed
on their studies. While they are encouraged to enjoy themselves
it must also be remembered that the approaching exams, (which
are arguably the most significant part of the VCE) are still ahead
of them.
In other news, the Public Speaking Program and competitions
have been finalised in the last few weeks.

Congratulations to Christopher Davie-Smythe (Year 11) who represented his year level in the Brother Quentin O’Halloran ‘Speakoffs’ and then went on the next level of competition which is contested between speakers from other De La Salle Colleges in
Melbourne. We have also welcomed back Jarrad Campbell who has recently returned from a successful kayaking competition in
Europe.
As one year ends we begin preparations for the next and subsequently we are currently in the process of selecting our student
leaders for 2013. We wish Caleb Bainbridge, Jarrad Campbell, Thomas Eagling, Michael Fiore, Michael Hoskin and Richard Ryan the
best of luck during their election campaigns.
Congratulations also to Kate Ginnivan and the boys in Tutor Group 24. They have won the McCristal House Tutor Group
Competition this year. Tutor Group 24 contains a good mix of capable students and talented sportsmen who have secured this win
on the back of solid participation in the many extracurricular activities offered at the College.
Finally, on behalf of the McCristal Tutors, I would to thank our House Leaders, Adam Capiron, Tom Tyquin and James Dalzotto for
their contributions this year. They have done a fantastic job and have been wonderful role models throughout the year. We wish
them and all our Year 12 students a safe, happy and prosperous future.

Year 9 Social
Term 3 came to a thrilling climax with the premier social event of 2012, the Year 9 Social.
The boys looked resplendent in their varied interpretations of ‘smart casual attire’. Suits,
ties, hats and pinstripes prevailed. Apart from the unscheduled evacuation mid-way
through the evening, the night went very smoothly. A highlight was ‘Gangnam Style’
which lured all 400 students to the dance floor! I would like to commend the boys on their
exemplary and gentlemanly behaviour. Above all else the boys had fun. Thanks to
Kilbreda for hosting the event and also to the staff who attended.
The most significant part of the Year 9
Survival Camp at Lake Eildon is the
overnight hike which has been
extended in recent years due to the
increased water level of Lake Eildon.
For the very active the hike is a genuine
challenge. For the less active the hike
becomes a mental and physical
challenge that, at times, seems insurmountable. Congratulations to all boys for
showing such courage and teamwork on the recent camps, dealing with extremes
of weather and mood to make the camp such a success. Thanks to Mr Darren
Strom, Mr Gavin Browne, the homeroom teachers, and the outdoor education
staff for running such spectacular camps.
Can I please remind all parents that
winter uniform is to be worn from
th
Monday 29 October. This means that
long shirts need to be worn with long
th
pants. From 29 October, boys are
welcome to wear the summer uniform.
From then, irrespective of whether the
winter or summer uniform is worn, the
school policy is that all students wear a
sun smart hat at recess, lunch and for
other outside activities. The St Bede’s
hat is a wide brimmed hat that satisfies
SunSmart Guidelines.
The exam period will run from Tuesday
th
nd
20 November until Thursday 22 November in week 7 of the term. Boys will have
exams for their core subjects during this period.

Student Achievements
Jarrad Campbell – Kayaking
Jarrad Campbell has been selected for the “Junior Olympic Hopes Team”. Jarrad started off in Surf Lifesaving and
in the College March newsletter, we reported that he had won 7 medals at the State Lifesaving Championships, 4
of which were gold.
Jarrad then turned his talent to Kayaking and he quickly took to this sport and made it to the National Kayaking
Championships in Penrith NSW. This event determines the make-up of the Australian Olympic Kayaking Team. Jarrad was then
selected as a member of the “Australian Junior Sprint Kayak Team” which competed in Hungary in September this year. In Hungary
th
th
at the 1,000 metre event, he came 6 in the final and in the 200 metres, he came 9 in the final, with all teams in the 200m final
finishing within 1.5 seconds of each other.
This year’s Australian Olympic Hope Team achieved the best result ever and made more finals than any previous Australian Olympic
Hope Team. Jarrad loved the experience gained from training with Olympic coaches, friendships made with international and
interstate competitors and competing against the best kayakers in the world at an international competition.
AIM: From these experiences Jarrad has set the bar very high. He hopes to improve as a kayaker and continually produce personal
best times. He hopes to qualify for the Youth Olympic Festival and make the Australian Junior Olympic Team in Sydney in January
2013. He hopes to make individual finals in all distances at the National Championships in Perth in April 2013 and qualify for the
2013 U18 World Championships Team – competing in Canada in August 2013. Jarrad also hopes to further develop friendships with
his Australian teammates at the interstate kayak competitions.
Here we share Jarrad’s hopes and dreams and all at St Bede’s College
wish Jarrad all the very best in realising those aspirations.

Old Collegians
Celebrating the Past, Enjoying the Present & Shaping the Future
Kingston Saints Cricket Club
Affiliated with VSDCA, CMCA
Kingston Saints is the playing name of the St John Vianney’s – St Bedes Old Collegians Cricket Club Inc
ARBN A0032057H - Ground: Walter Galt Reserve Victoria Street Parkdale
[email protected] - http://kingstonsaints.vic.cricket.com.au/
New Coach: Craig Entwistle, former Premier Cricket player of 200 games, has joined the Saints as Captain Coach of the Club and has
had the boys training since early July. Craig will be assisted this season by last year’s skipper Tony White as Development Coach and
stalwart Peter Robinson as Assistant Coach. All three have attained at least Community Coach Accreditation.
Craig has identified a number of local junior players that are capable of making their way into the Club’s first XI, by layers that have
been developing over the years as juniors at the club or through school cricket. Some of these players have been attending training
as part of the Club’s Junior Development Squad during the pre-season.
New Website: The Club has a new website that can be found at:-http://kingstonsaints.vic.cricket.com.au/
Player Changes: There has been movement in our playing group this season with the two Papua New Guinea players Jack Vare and
Joel Tom, not being released to Melbourne this coming season, but they are playing with teams on the Gold Coast where their new
coach resides. Tom won the club’s bowling average last season and Vare was more than serviceable behind the stumps. The club
will be without the services of Brett Hampton and Aaron Fenton for part of the season as Brett gets married early in the season and
Aaron pursues employment interstate.
Lee Dale (UK), who made 347 runs last season is returning this season and is bringing a mate, Dale Pennington (a keeper batsman).
Both played with Glossop Cricket Club in the Lancashire League.
Again this year the Club will use two players from developing countries as part of an official developing nation program supported
by Cricket Australia and the ICC. These players are Patrick Matautaava and Kenny Tari from Vanuatu. Matautaava is a 22 year old
fast bowler who opens the bowling and is a sound middle order bat. Tari is a 20 year old medium pace bowler. Both will be joining
the Saints for the duration of the season.
Interested Players: The Club is commencing trials on Sunday mornings for aspiring Under 15 Turf Cricketers for our RM Hatch
Squad. Trials are over the next few weeks (2nd, 9th, 16th September) between 10:00am and 12:30pm. The RM Hatch Competition
runs in early January. Any player interested can contact Mick McCoy 0419 128 225.
Any player interested in playing for the Saints please contact Greg McLeod 0416 065 907 or email [email protected] or Sarah
McCoy (Juniors) – 0400 912 077 or email [email protected]
Balgo WA Visits St Bede’s College
During the recent holidays sixteen students from the Brother's
school in Balgo WA - *Luurnpa Catholic School - visited SBC.
These students were rewarded for NOT missing one day of school
throughout the year. Their parents paid for the trip to
Melbourne. The group stayed at Cypress Lodge Phillip Island for
three nights, seeing the usual tourist sights. The Young Lasallians
from St Bede’s College had an activity morning for them at the
College and in the afternoon accompanied them to the East
Boundary Road Swim Centre. The group had never seen so much
water.
The young Lasallians that looked after the group were: Luke
Boulton, Andrew Pulis, Nigel Abello, Caleb Bainbridge, Nick Green
and Spencer Luscombe. A great time was had by all.
Balgo is a small Aboriginal Community in Western Australia. The town is famous for its artists' cooperative which was
established when some of the original members of the Papunya Tula movement were allowed to leave Papunya. *Luurnpa
School includes the Walkala Centre where reading books are written, illustrated and read onto CD or DVD in both Kukatja and
English.

2012 Science Talent Search
The theme this year is:
Students in Years 7 & 8 were given an opportunity to complete research projects based on the following:
A) Growth of plants, under different conditions
B) Biodegradability of packaging
C) Research of Biofuels
Ten group assignments of the very best from these year levels were submitted to the Victorian group, “Science Teachers’
Association of Victoria” for their annual competition. Four groups were awarded credits or bursaries for their work.
Claude Dabare was awarded a Major Bursary for the project, “Energy content and Efficiency of Ethanol compared to Vegetable
and Sunflower Oil”. The experimental work was excellent and completed in the laboratories and with the use of the iPads,
photographs were taken of different aspects of the work.
The Minor Bursaries were awarded to Tom Kloppenborg and Josh Mravljak who studied biofuels and the group that consisted
of Lawrence De Guzman and James Dickson, who also researched biofuels.
A credit was obtained by Corey Burl and Jacob Reed for their efforts in their research.
Overall, each group should be commended for its enthusiasm and work in science.

2012 Art, Tech & Music Show – ANNUAL MUSIC CONCERT
In a first for St Bede’s College, the Annual Music Department Concert was held
in conjunction with the staging of the Art & Technology Show. Parents,
students and friends were therefore able to enjoy the diversity of the arts that
are available to the boys.
The Music Concert was truly a whole school event with boys from all year levels
being featured. The large ensembles such as the Training and Junior Concert
Bands, along with the College Big Band, were contrasted with solo and group
performances from our VCE Music performance students.
Another feature of the program was the diversity of genres that were
presented through the fourteen items. We heard pieces from Bach through to
ballads such as the Sounds Of Silence and contemporary Rap.

Woodard - Year 12 Music Performance students
I would like to congratulate all performers on not only the polished standard of their presentations but also their stage presence and
communication with the audience.
I would also like to acknowledge the contribution made by the instrumental teachers at the College along with Mr Walter Saluni, Ms Laura
McCormick and Mr Cameron Fellowes for their support in staging the performance. The VET Music Industry students also did a terrific job
in managing the sound, lighting and stage management.

2012 Art, Technology & Music Show – VISUAL ART
th
On the night of Thursday 18 October, St Bede’s College, combined the student Art & Technology Show with the Annual Music
Concert to great acclaim.
Opened by Carla Edgerton (Art Teacher and Professional Artist), it was an opportunity to learn how, with some persistence and
imagination, that we all have potential to forge an amazing career from our skills. She inspired the audience with her enthusiasm
and love of art. Displayed in the new Sports Complex was an array of 2D and 3D Art, Technology and a Media Show, casing the
spectacular achievements of our boys’ talents throughout the year. Unique and individual drawings, paintings and etchings to
creative 3D ceramics and art were all on display indicating skills, creativity, individual responses to an idea and vision and life in
general.
Along with art were skilled, precise, technical drawings and detailed computer designs from the Visual Communication and Design
Department. The Technology and Design Department (see pages 16 & 17), along with Systems Engineering, added a fresh
dimension to the displays along with some thought provoking media concepts.
Well attended by over 300 people, the night had colour, creativity and conversation added with great food and refreshments.
On behalf of my department I thank everyone involved and for those who attended, particularly the boys. Without their
contribution the show would never be possible.
Special mention to the College Parents and Friends Association and Malcolms Real Estate for their very generous contributions to
the awards and assisting on all levels to make this Art Show possible.

2012 Art, Technology & Music Show - TECHNOLOGY
The evening was an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their projects. For Unit 3 and 4 Technology students the evening
represented many hours of folio work and toil in the workshop. It is probably true to say that the product each student made
contains a little of their heart and soul. It is little wonder then that, on the evening, no student rose to the generous monetary offers
to part with their product. It was also pleasing to see the high quality of work from Year 8, 9, 10 and 11 students. We thank the P &
F Association for their generosity in awarding two excellence awards, in both Product Design and Technology (Jordan Baker and
Aaron MacDonald and a special commendation to Thomas Busuttil) and in Systems Engineering (Joseph Considine and Rene
Santander).

Oliver Report
2012 marks the first year St Bede’s College has presented, in collaboration with students from Kilbreda College and Mentone Girls’
Grammar School, a musical performance in our new Performing Arts Auditorium, which was Lionel Bart’s interpretation of Charles
Dickens’ “Oliver”. I am very happy to report that the season was a great success with the biggest audience for a College production
attending our shows over the four performances.
This success is due entirely to the talented students from all three schools and the dedicated staff from St Bede’s College who
st
worked non-stop from early February this year until the closing night performance on 1 September and beyond to ensure the best
possible show for our school communities.
