A more detailed calendar is
on the last page.
As you are aware, Tuesday was a special
day for our school community - our annual
celebration of the Feast of St Ignatius of
Loyola. The 31st of July is the traditional feast
day for St Ignatius of Loyola. Falling on a
Sunday this year, we have obviously decided
to celebrate it in the preceding week.
The photographs on Page 5, 8, 12 and 16
of this newsletter, thank you to Mr David
Alexander, provide some indication of the
activities and atmosphere on what was a very
positive and enjoyable day of celebration for
our school community.
Thank you to Deputy Principal, Mr Paul
Lewis for coordinating the day, Mr Brendan
Nicholls for organising the Liturgy and the
Senior Students involved in helping organise
the day. Well done to the students for the way
they enthusiastically participated. And thank
you to the staff for all they did to make this
day a special one.
The day commenced with a full school
assembly. It was great to see that a number of
parents were present.
I was also very pleased that Jesuit Priest,
Fr Gerry Healy SJ was able to be present to
help us celebrate our identity as an Ignatian
school.
Our college commenced as a Jesuit Partner
school in 2007. So, next year we will celebrate
our first decade as Saint Ignatius College
Geelong.
Fr Healy was one of the key people involved
in the establishment of our relationship with
the Australian Province of the Jesuits and I
express our gratitude for his continuing
support. In Australia there are six Partner
Schools with the five Jesuit Schools.
As a Jesuit Partner School we join with all of
these schools and indeed Ignatian institutions
from around the world to celebrate our
common Ignatian identity at this time.
As has become our tradition on Feast Day,
we finished the assembly with an
acknowledgment of long serving staff
members.
The staff attended a special afternoon tea after
school to celebrate our colleagues’ milestones
of service to the college community.

Sympathy
Our College community is saddened by
the news that parent, Mrs. Prue Moate
passed away on July 13, 2016.
I extend our sympathy to Prue’s loving
husband Jonathan and cherished loving
children, Lucy (Year 9) and Finn (Year
7).
A number of parents, staff, students and
I were able to attend Mrs. Moate’s
Funeral Service at St Peter’s Church,
Ocean Grove, on Tuesday last week.
In lieu of flowers, the family requested
that donations be made to Saint Ignatius
College Geelong, in memory of Prue.
I express our gratitude for this very kind
and supportive gesture from Mrs. Moate’s
family. I also express our gratitude to
those people who have kindly made
donations, including the Moate family.
Thank you for your generosity.
May Mrs Moate rest in peace.
Please keep Mrs Moate’s family in your
thoughts and prayers at this very sad and
challenging time.
Best wishes

From Fr Kevin Dillon
Both at above and at the end of the third
column are two photos of jockeys.
You’ll recognise the one on the left. It’s
Michelle Payne, along with her brother
Stevie, immediately after her victory in
last year’s Melbourne Cup on Prince of
Penzance.
The other “jockey” (down below) is my
brother Brendan, aged about 16, and
dressed in the racing silks of an owner
who was a friend of our Dad.
Bren has always loved the races - not
for the betting (though he does enjoy
the occasional “flutter”, but only with
occasional success). But he loves the
people - the trainers, jockeys, strappers
like Stevie Payne, bookmakers, owners
- anyone engaged in what is one of
Australia’s biggest industries (though
most people don’t realise just how big it
is). And he loves the horses, noble,
courageous and with rare exceptions,
gentle animals that have served the
human race magnificently over
thousands of years.
So why the two “jockeys” ?
Well, as some of you may know, my
brother is a priest, currently Parish Priest
of Glen Waverley parish. At the Racing
Mass at St. Francis Church in Melbourne
last November (the Sunday before the
Cup), Michelle Payne asked my brother
the Racing Chaplain) to bless the saddle
she would use in the Cup.
Many people today believe the role of
the priest in the parish is not sufficiently
valued by the Church as a whole.
The rest, as they say, is history! Problem
is he didn’t tell me he had done this until
AFTER the running of the race!
That may well be true. But in the long
run, it doesn’t matter. What does
matter is that those who seek solace,
help, direction or grace from their priest
can usually have a search which is
ultimately successful.
I mention all this because this week-end
he is celebrating fifty years (that’s half a
century) since he was ordained a priest
at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
He has spent all of those years in
pastoral work, at which he has been
extremely competent and highly
dedicated. Nearly all those years have
been in parishes, the exception being
seven as an Army Chaplain, which was
really just a different kind of parish.
This has all been about “the care of
souls”. Maybe an old-fashioned phrase
today, but it simply means helping
people in their relationship with God and
with one another.
Not many people have one job, for one
“boss”, for fifty years. Perhaps you
might pray for my brother today, in
gratitude for his ministry and that of
those ordained with him fifty years ago.
These days, some people might be
sceptical of the value of a priest’s
ministry. But Michelle Payne, and
perhaps some of those who backed
Prince of Penzance, would be unlikely
to be among them.
In the under-valued (by some) but
critically important ministry to ordinary
people in a parish setting, how to best
“care for souls” can and will vary
enormously from day to another, from
one person to another.
It’s sharing the happy and the sad,
bringing God’s comfort, compassion,
forgiveness and love to any and every
kind of human experience.
Being a priest in a parish, caring for and
loving the people who live and work in
that part of God’s universe, is as great
a privilege as can be entrusted to any
human being.

Prayer
Pilgrims
Merciful God,
We entrust to you today
the destiny of the world
and of every man and woman.
As you know Rhys Lowther (Year 11) and
Sophie Thorley (Year 10) are currently
travelling to Poland, on pilgrimage to World
Youth Day. This weekend they will link up an
expected one million pilgrims at Krakow and
experience a mass offered by Pope Francis.
This mass will be held on Sunday the 31st of
July, the feast day of St Ignatius of Loyola.
We entrust to you, in a special
way young people of every
language, people and nation:
Guide and protect them as
they walk the complex paths
of the world today and give
them the grace to reap
abundant fruits from their
experience of the Krakow
World Youth Day.
Heavenly Father, grant that
we may bear witness to your
mercy. Allow the spark of
merciful love that you have
enkindled within all of us
become a fire that can
transform hearts and renew
the face of the earth.
Amen.
Rhys and Sophie have spent many months
preparing for their journey and have
concentrated on both their logistical and
spiritual needs in the lead up to their
experience. Their journey will take them well
over 30,000km and last for almost two weeks.
They will experience many new experiences
and meet an enormous number of people as
they move towards their destination.
Pilgrimages have been a central component of
faith for people over many thousands of years.
Pilgrims generally travel light, pray often,
reflect upon life and God, have a destination
that offers a deeper connection with God and
an open heart.
Pilgrimages allow people to escape the
ordinary and experience the extraordinary.
Although we are not fortunate enough to be
able to make it to Krakow and celebrate and
experience such a momentous and faith filled
event, we can engage in pilgrimage in our
daily life and experience a closer relationship
and understanding of God.
D.I.Y. Pilgrimage Guide
1. Get outside – make a decision to break
out and experience the beautiful gift of
nature that we are so fortunate to have.
You might head to a beach, a dedicated
path or simply walk out the door and keep
walking.
2. Get moving – experiencing movement
through activity brings us to a deeper
awareness of the magnificence of our
bodies. This perfection is often something
that we overlook. However, as God
knitted you together in your mothers
womb (Psalm 139:13), He was well aware
of the complexity and perfection needed
so that your body might do all that is required.
3. Clear your mind – make an attempt to
remove distraction. You will find that
this will take some effort. We are so
‘busy’ that we do not often stop. But to
truly seek God we need to ‘be still’ (Psalm
46:10) and take time to listen for the
movements of God in and around us.
4. Be open-minded – As you journey try to
do away with what you think God will
‘be’. You may find that God offers himself
in a moment of beauty, such as a sunset.
He may offer himself as that small inner
voice or movement that offers a
connection or insight through your
conscience. He may simply offer you
peace.
5.
Reflect – When your journey ends,
whether it is long or short, take the time to
reflect and offer thanks. In doing so you
make good your relationship with God
and will be encouraged to journey again.
St Ignatius of Loyola was a great pilgrim.
After his recuperation he traveled across Spain
to Manresa. This journey changed him and
opened his heart to God. This journey changed
his inner nature, the exclusion of what was
ordinary and a commitment to seeking God
changed Ignatius’ outlook and allowed God to
be better witnessed.
At the conclusion of his pilgrimage across
Spain, he spent nine months at Manresa where
he committed himself completely to seeking
God. Forsaking everything else, he was able
to ‘find God’ and most significantly personally
experience God. During this time he reflected
upon his experiences deeply and recorded
‘The Spiritual Exercises’, which we continue
to practice today.
I believe his most profound understanding
form this period was Ignatius’ understanding
of ‘God in all things’. With this thought in
mind we are inspired to look at all we
encounter with the expectation that we will
see God. This leads us to bring peace to all
whom we meet and enables us to live every
moment in silent but prodigious prayer.
As we offer prayers of intercession for Rhys
and Sophie, I would like to encourage you to
be inspired by them and set out on a
pilgrimage of your own. Long or short, you
will benefit positively from the experience.
So get out and start your pilgrim’s journey.
Seek and you will find ‘God in all things’.
Yours in Christ,
Brendan Nicholls
Liturgy Coordinator

Geelong Dance Showcase
A group of dedicated senior dance students juggled
rehearsals with exams, work experience and the school
holidays to prepare for our College’s debut performance
in the Geelong Dance Showcase held at the Geelong
Performing Arts Centre on the last day of the school
holidays.
The Geelong Dance Showcase is a long standing community
event, which offers an opportunity for studios and schools from the
local Geelong and Colac regions to perform in a combined concert
in a non-competitive environment.
The senior students presented a collaborative dance routine that
featured a range of dance styles and displayed the individual talent
of each dancer that was very well received by the audience.
Dance is an expanding and valued part of the curriculum here at
Saint Ignatius College and the Performing Arts Department are
looking forward to the implementation of VCE Dance for our
Year 11 and 12 students.

Learning Area Leader - Performing Arts
Year 12 News
After much planning and
anticipation, the 2016 Year 12
Winter Formal took place on the
23rd of June.
The formal provided an opportunity for
students from our school, Sacred Heart
College, Saint Joseph’s College and
Clonard College to come together for one
special evening and celebrate the year so
far whilst raising much appreciated funds
and awareness for the local Headspace
agencies.
Pictured: Molly, Jess, Aurora, Tanna, Emily, Lauren, Gabby, Shae,
Kayla, Bridget, Phoebe, Teleisha, Steph, Maddie and Daisy.
We enjoyed music provided by a local
DJ, Riley Harman, and a photo booth run by
Mr Alexander (photos appeared in Edition 11).
Everyone had a great time, the feedback
we heard from students was tremendous
and they all thoroughly enjoyed
themselves.
This donation will be of great use to youth
all around the Geelong region struggling
with their mental health and may visit
Headspace.
A big thank you to everyone involved
in this event - the teachers who gave up
their time to come along and support us;
especially to Mr Alexander for his
awesome photography and Mr McLean
for his continued support and effort to
making the event possible.
It was also a great opportunity for year
12s across the four Catholic Geelong
schools to interact and meet new people.
The photo booth was a hit with many
great photos of students captured with
props and costumes on.
We would also like to thank the school,
namely Mr Exton for supporting the
event but most importantly to all the
students that took part and made the
evening so enjoyable!
Headspace provides early intervention
mental health services to young people
and promotes wellbeing. This covers
areas such as mental and physical health,
work and study support as well as drug
and alcohol services.
Claudia Beattie and Noah Hodgson,
College Captains.
A Headspace representative, Malcolm
Scott, was present on the night. He spoke
to the students briefly and brought along
drink bottles, stress balls and Frisbees,
which added to the atmosphere.
The night was a huge success - our school
contributed to a record high participation
with 76 students getting involved in the
evening and a total of over 450 students
from all of the 4 schools.
The total money raised for Headspace was
a great achievement, with around $5000
being handed over on the night, almost
$1000 of which was raised by our
students.

Sayembara Lisan Winners 2016
The Build Up
Half way through Term 1 I found out that
I would be practicing rehearsed questions
in Indonesia that would be involved in a
language competition (Sayembara Lisan)
that we would take part in the next term.
These questions included our name, our
age, our friends, our class and our
interests. The questions improved our
vocabulary and by the time of the
competition we knew them back to front.
Along with the rehearsed questions, we
had to write a paragraph about our friend
in Indonesian, which included
information about their life. This was
very fun because we learnt a lot of
Indonesian words that you could use
in everyday Indonesia. The language
competition had three parts, the rehearsed
questions, the paragraph on your friend
and unrehearsed questions based on your
friend. We were now prepared for the first
round of the Sayembara Lisan.
On the day of the language competition
we arrived at school at 8:00 and got on
the bus that was headed for Christian
College in Highton. For the next half an
hour everyone was excited and nervous
to be speaking Indonesian with a teacher
they had never met before. The bus ride
sounded like a bus in Indonesia with all
58 students practicing their questions and
speeches trying to get as much practice
in as they could. We arrived at Christian
College and one by one we went into
one room and found our table, all of the
Indonesian teachers helped you if you got
stuck and made it a great time.
One week passed and I was so happy to
find out I placed 3rd in the competition
out of the year nines from the others
schools. I attended a celebration night on
15 July along with other successful
competitors from the other schools.
This was no doubt the best event that I
have attended at Saint Ignatius College.
Tex Hallam, 9 Faber
The Big Night
In the competition we had to answer
General Questions that you knew the
answer to before the competition, and
next we had a paragraph about our friend
that we read out. After, the assessor asked
us unrehearsed questions about what we
had just said about our friend.
Nearly each lunchtime we practised with
the Bu’s to help us get the best result
possible. We were practising right until
we went into the assessor room, and when
we went in there we were not nervous
at all, as we knew what we were talking
about. For the Finals, we had to go to
Melbourne University, to do the same as
what we had to do at Christian College.
We walked into the building to sign
ourselves off and then we practised
beforehand till we went in.
When you go in they ask you about 3-5
General Questions and, once you finish
your friend speech, two questions about
what you had just said.
When we walked into the building we
saw people walking around trying to
remember their speech and parents trying
to rehearse with their children before they
go in at the last minute.
The Friday awards night was really good!
We walked in and received a drink bottle
and Indonesian food - there was banana
leaf around rice, vegetable and chicken
schnitzel and pumpkin tart.
When the presentation began there were
four Indonesian dancers dressed in green
with heaps of sequins. The presentation of
the awards started to begin and there was
a big screen with all the Year One’s names
etc. Once they got up to Year 6 they had a
break and some kids came up and spoke
in Indonesian (they were amazing!).
Then it was Year 7-11 awards. Both
Hannah and I got called up to the front to
collect our certificates and prizes.
Hannah got an Indonesian Dictionary, a
silver pin and a certificate. I received an
Indonesian sentence starter book, a green
pin and a certificate. At the end of the
presentation of the awards, some more
children went up and spoke in Indonesian,
and to finish the night the Indonesian
dancers put on a performance. At the end,
everyone wanted a photo with the sign up
the front, it was so chaotic and you had to
be quick to get a photo. Overall, it was a
really fun night.
Emily Henry, 8 Daniel, with Hannah
Scott, 8 Campion
A week later the school received news
that three year nine students from Saint
Ignatius had gone through to the next
round - Mikayla Michels, Isabella Harry
and myself had got through.
We were so excited when we found out
we got through to the state finals.
We practiced with every Indonesian
teacher in the school about twice a week.
On 18 June we travelled to the Sidney
Myer Asia Centre at Melbourne
University. There were many different age
groups waiting out the front of their room
ready to give it their best shot.
We went into the room with our parents
waiting out the front, hoping we would do
well and no one else but two Indonesian
ladies that asked us our questions. We got
out feeling confident and hopeful that we
said the correct answers.

SRC President meets Richard Marles MP
Late last term I attended the first
ever meeting of the Geelong Youth
Council, chaired by the Federal
MP of Corio, Richard Marles.
There were approximately 17 students,
including myself, all from a range of
different secondary schools around the
Geelong area.
During the meeting, we talked about a
variety of issues faced by local youth,
including Drugs and Alcohol, Mental
Illness and Youth Employment.
We discussed ways to improve the City
of Greater Geelong through further
education, awareness, and help on these
issues to ensure the safety and guidance
for generations to come in Geelong.
Having the opportunity to meet Richard
Marles and discuss youth issues was an
absolute privilege and I highly
recommend for people to apply for the
position of ‘Geelong Youth
Representative’ for Saint Ignatius College
in 2017 and beyond.

SRC Update
Recently in the SRC, the year level representatives have been trying to organize class captain meetings with year level coordinators so
they can organize activities for the year level. Three students (Greg Lewis, Kerry Kingsbury and Dean O’Brien) have joined the
organizing committee for Triumph 2017. Triumph is organized by the four local Catholic secondary schools and all money raised
goes towards supporting East Timor. This event will be held at Clonard College.
Also after the successful ‘Give Where You Live’ casual clothes day the school raised $1322.85, which was an amazing effort.

‘Feast Day’ Activities Photos

‘Iggy’ as Pop Culture? Why not?
On Tuesday the 26th July the
College celebrated our 2016 Feast
Day (as the actual day - July 31 falls on a Sunday this year) and for
both staff and students the day was
fun.
Genuine, relaxing and old fashioned
fun. There were food vans, a petting zoo
(where I saw one particular year eight
male student carefully cradling a grown
chicken smiling with bliss and
contentment. A sight to see I must say),
rides and staff versus students sporting
activities and all the trimmings. It’s a day
of festivities after all.
However rightfully too, the College
provided the appropriate dose of context
for the day so that our students were given
the opportunity to firstly appreciate why it
is we feast, why we stop to celebrate our
narrative and why we take time to
appreciate the gifts we have.
As people of a Catholic and Ignatian
community it’s important that we wrap
the day in this contextual framework.
Our whole school liturgy in the morning
on Feast Day focused on connecting the
story of Ignatius with our personal story.
Staff and students were invited to
consider the relevance of ‘Iggy’ (as we
sometimes refer to our good friend
St Ignatius of Loyola) for their
own lives today. As educators
working within an Ignatian
tradition and more
specifically as teachers of
Religious Education in a
Catholic school, I see
our ability to provide
this crucial context for
the world of our students
as our most exciting
pedagogical challenge
today.
Such a challenge does however, present
with some tough questions:
Is Ignatius relevant for our students?
Can we apply the messages found in the
lives of saints like Ignatius to the shifting
and transient world of pop culture in
which our students dwell?
Or, can we convince our students to at
least consider applying the messages
found in the Gospels to their own lives?
I believe the answer to all of these
questions is yes.
I recently attended the annual conference
for Victorian Religious Education
Co-ordinators in Melbourne.
I found the conference energizing but
most importantly affirming. For me to
hear so many of the speakers consistently
inviting us as teachers and leaders in
Religious Education to bring the stories
and messages from our Catholic Tradition
and our own lives, to the stories and
happenings of our students’ experience,
was for me encouraging.
Anyone who takes the time and energy
to read the Gospels whilst engaging in
the necessary parallel study explaining
how, when and why they were written,
will gain enormous benefit from such an
investigation.
But the contemporary reality we are faced
with is that many of our students may
not be inclined to do so. Keeping in mind
however that forming our students in the
Catholic and Ignatian tradition is a
significant part of our mission as a
College, how then are we to achieve this?
How do we share the valuable teachings
of the Catholic tradition? Do we drag
the horse (or in this case the present-day
twenty first century student) to the “well”,
kicking and screaming and try to make it
drink? Probably not a good idea.
In fact I’d argue we’d be fools to do so
and would be letting down ourselves
as educators and more importantly our
students, were we to proceed in such a
manner.
Our only option then, and I think
ironically the best one, is to provide the
necessary links, stepping stones and
constant reminders to the students of the
College that Ignatius’ life and the
messages contained in it, are as culturally
relevant today as they ever have been.
In fact it could be argued that they’ve
never been more contemporary in their
need for consideration. These messages
include the need for constant reflection
and contemplation in how we live our
lives, the joy and grace enjoyed when one
strives to and succeeds in finding God in
all things or simply to follow your heart
and like Saint Ignatius of Loyola, work
tirelessly to achieve in life whilst
remembering to always serve others along
the way.
I see our role as educators within the
Catholic tradition and perhaps more
specifically in the Religious Education
classroom as being that of one who
facilitates a conversation around life and
faith with our students.
We should talk to our students about
what’s happening in their world, unpack
it, invite them to learn from it and steer
them (with a bit of a nudge!) to see it
through a Catholic and an Ignatian lens.
Peace.

Saint Ignatius
College Geelong
is delighted to
present the 2016
Time & Space
Evenings for
Fathers.
These innovative single evening programs are part of some special transition events that we offer our Year 7
and 8 students and they are happening here in our school community during the last week of August.
The programs have a whole range of memorable moments that include carefully guided interactions with
other fathers and students. Fathers will emerge from the night reassured and impressed by the way our
students are able to speak up and share insights about their lives. And be assured that the night is fun too…
full of activities and conversations that will make us smile as well.
Time & Space for
‘Fathers and Daughters’
Time & Space for
‘Stepping Up’
She is growing up and the opportunity to reflect
on the joys and challenges of this time in your
life and her life, is one not to be missed. This is
a special night for the girls as they witness the
fathers discussing the importantance of their
role. We think that the girls seeing and being
part of a gathering of fathers and mentors with
this good intent, helps them to build their profile
of a good man. This is a great night for seeing
how you handle the ‘letting go’ process as they
start to forge some independence.
Media attention often feasts on the reality that
some famous sportsmen and celebrities fall
short of being good ‘role-models’ to our boys…
but we are confident that the best role-models
are much closer to home. ‘Stepping Up’ taps
the very best resources in our own school
community… the dads (or grandfathers, older
brothers or uncles) of our boys. Be part of this
innovative single evening program that gives a
signpost to each boy about the best ways he
can ‘step up’ to be a good man.

What’s happening in the classroom and beyond?
Data gathering survey
National Consistent Collect of
Data on School Students With
Disability (NCCD)
Each year schools are asked to provide
information about the number of students
with additional needs currently attending
their school.
There is a broad definition of ‘disability’
that ranges from students who require
minor adjustments to those needing
significant additional support to achieve
success at school.
This data is then provided to the
Australian Government to assist in the
development of a consistent, national
picture of the educational needs of
students with disability. The data is
provided in such a way that it cannot be
used to identify any individual student or
school.
This data is currently being collated at
our College and will be forwarded to the
CEM upon completion of the 2016 census
survey in late August.
Year 11 2017
On Monday July 25th, more than 270
parents and current students from Year 10
attended the Senior Pathways
evening held in St. Thomas Church,
despite the inclement weather.
The forum provided valuable information
related to the VCE and VCAL pathways
in place at the College. Several senior
students provided insights into their
respective learning pathways while key
members of staff assisting with this
selection process explained important
considerations in helping students and
parents determine how best to approach
making choices for future studies.
Year 11 2017 VCAL Information
Evening
Current Year 10 students and their parents
/guardians are invited to attend the Year
11 2017 VCAL information evening at
the College next Monday, August 1st.
This evening provides a detailed outline
of this program and will enable potential
applicants to obtain a very clear
understanding of what this pathway
entails.
The presentation led by Ms. Kirsty Allan,
our current VCAL Coordinator and her
team of teachers will be conducted in
S1- 3 from 7pm to 8pm.
We look forward to seeing you there if
this is a possible learning pathway that
your son/daughter is considering.
Year 10 2017
After an extensive twelve-month review
of the Year 10 curriculum in place at the
College, there will be significant changes
to the learning and teaching program to
be offered to students entering Year 10
at Saint Ignatius College in 2017.
Visible Thinking and Growth
Mindset Professional Learning
Team
Several teachers from a range of learning
areas have formed a professional learning
team working closely with Mrs. Fran
Kealey, our Director of Teacher
Development.
This group’s focus is to explore ways to
embed visible thinking and the formation
of growth mindsets into our teaching
delivery at the College so that all students
will become even more effective learners
than is the case at present.
This team has met once or twice since
June to set their goals and direction and
we look forward to their feedback and
guidance in shaping the focus for some of
our future professional learning activities
over the next eighteen months.
Mrs. Annette Chidzey
Deputy Principal [Learning and Teaching]
With that in mind, we have organized a
very important parent and student
information evening to be held in
St Thomas Church on Monday August
15th from 7pm to 8pm.
Given the implications of these changes
to the Year 10 2017 program, it is our
expectation that all families will be
represented at this forum where the 2017
learning program, elective or subject
selection process and the broader
implementation procedure can be further
outlined.
There will also be an opportunity to meet
with key members of the College staff
involved in the introduction of this
program at the conclusion of the
presentation.
A formal invitation will be mailed to
parents and guardians in the week
beginning August 2nd and when you
receive it, we ask that you confirm your
intention to attend and return the reply
slip to your son or daughter’s Year 9
homeroom teacher by no later than
Thursday August 11th.

OPEN DAYS 2016
Getting the most out of an Open Day Most institutional Open Days are held in late July and August (see over the page for Open Day dates). However, you are more than welcome to contact an institution to arrange a visit any time. What happens on an Open Day? On Open Day you can visit an institution when it’s at its best. Everyone is there – academics, lecturers, current students and information officers. More importantly, you can talk with academics, lecturers and current students about what certain courses are actually like, and what is required to get into them. Who should attend an Open Day? Anyone who is considering studying at a tertiary level in the next few years should attend. Why should you attend an Open Day? Apart from the opportunity to obtain course information there are many other reasons why attending an Open Day is a good idea: •
You are going to feel more comfortable arriving at a university or TAFE institute on the first day of classes if you have been there before. •
What is really involved in the course or courses you are interested in? •
If you have to move away from home, where are you going to live? •
Will you be happier studying in a large metropolitan institution or a smaller, perhaps rural institution? •
What does the place ‘feel’ like? Is it a bustling environment with lots of activity or a quieter, more relaxed campus set in landscaped grounds? •
How are you going to get there? Is it close to public transport or should you start saving now for a car? If you don’t know the answers to any of these questions, then you should attend an Open Day! How to make the best of Open Days To make your Open Day visits fun and informative, here are some pointers: •
Write down a list of questions you would like to ask about particular courses •
Be there early. Crowds tend to develop as the day progresses •
On arrival, get a map from a central point and ask for directions to the relevant faculties or schools •
Ask questions! •
Don’t spend the day collecting printed information only. Use the opportunity to speak directly with academics before applications close •
Introduce yourself to selection officers if you feel it is appropriate, but don’t be pushy •
Check out the residential colleges, if available. After all, it is you that will be living there. •
Walk around the campus. Have a good look! See what sporting facilities and other services are available. •
Enjoy the visit! Not everyone can attend every Open Day and various Institutions hold their Open Days on the same date! If you can’t attend an Open Day and you are interested in a particular institution, you may visit at other times. If you wish to speak to a particular person, it is essential to make an appointment first. This information was correct at the time of publication. Students are encouraged to confirm times
themselves.
Addresses of tertiary institutions are available via VTAC on www.vtac.edu.au or by ringing the institution
directly or visiting their website.
Students in Years 10, 11 and 12 are encouraged to go along to Open Days

INSIGHTS
Building parent-school partnerships
Tolerance:
WORDS Michael Grose
a vital ingredient
for your child’s
success
Kids who accept differences in others are setting themselves up for
success in the world of diversity that they will enter.
Want your child to be successful way past the
confines of the school gate?
Then you need to make sure your child is
tolerant of individual differences and accepting
of children and adults who look and act
differently to them.
There’s no doubt that success in today’s
world depends on the ability to understand,
appreciate and work with others. The child who
is open to differences is likely to have more
opportunities in school, in business and in life
in general.
Schools are diverse places
Walk into any school ground in Australia and
you’ll witness diversity firsthand. You’re likely
to see children from many different cultural,
racial and family backgrounds. You’ll also see
kids with different needs and diverse ways of
expressing themselves. Some kids will wear
their hearts on their sleeves, while others will be
taciturn and quiet. Tolerant kids are accepting
of these differences.
They make friends with children and young
people who may look and act differently to
them.
Intolerance breeds bullying
Intolerance, or prejudice, is at the heart of a
great deal of the bullying that occurs among
children and young people. Kids who look
and act differently or who are more isolated
often experience bullying for no apparent
reason other than the fact that they are
‘different’. Whole-hearted acceptance and
even appreciation Tolerance: a vital ingredient
for your child’s success of differences is a
preventative bullying measure that we can all
support.
Tolerance starts at home
Kids learn attitudes such as tolerance from
those around them. Children in primary school
usually reflect the attitudes of their parents.
While adolescents are strongly influenced
by their peers, parental attitudes still have a
significant impact on their attitudes to other
people. In short, if you want your child to
be accepting of differences – whether they
are racial, cultural, behavioural or in sexual
orientation – then make tolerance a family trait.
Here’s how:
Help your child feel accepted, respected,
and valued. When your child feels good
about himself, he is more able to treat others
respectfully.
Model acceptance. Kids learn what they live so
make sure you welcome differences in others, and
be sensitive to cultural or racial stereotypes. It
also helps on a practical level to discuss prejudice
and stereotypes when they occur in the media.
Challenge prejudice or narrow-minded
views. Sometimes kids, knowingly or
unknowingly, can say the cruellest things
about others. As a parent respectfully remind
your child or young person about the impact
that a narrow view can have on his or her
own behaviour as well as on those it may be
directed towards. Intolerance of diversity is
an attitude that parents should make a stand
against.
Answer kids’ questions about differences
honestly and respectfully. Teach your kids
that it is acceptable to notice and discuss
differences as long as it is done with respect.
Respect individual differences within
your own family. Your ability to accept your
children’s differing abilities, interests and styles
will go a long way towards establishing an
attitude of tolerance in the children themselves.
By valuing the uniqueness of each member of
your family you are teaching your kids to value
the strengths in others, no matter how diverse.
Modern Australia is such a wonderful culturallyrich place. This diversity is part of its magic. One
way to make sure our children fully appreciate
this richness is to fully embrace tolerance in
everything we do.
