Dear St Michael’s Community,
YEAR 7 AND 8 2019 ENROLMENT INTERVIEWS
Thank you to all those involved in the Year 7 and 8 2019 enrolment interviews held over the last two weeks.
The atmosphere was one of welcome and engagement, with many excited Year 5s and 6s having their first
face to face experience of St Michael’s College. I know our staff enjoyed the experience and feel it set a
positive tone in regard to the prospective partnership between staff, student and family.
While it is a great opportunity for staff and students to get to know each other a little better, it is also an
opportunity for parents to ask questions and get a deeper sense of what St Michael’s College is about. The
occasion also provides the College with important feedback as to why parents choose St Michael’s as the
preferred choice of school for their sons and daughters and allows us to build on these strengths in future
planning.
We are currently working through the enrolments, with first round offers to be sent shortly.
YEAR 7 TRANSITION
With the imminent move of Year 7 to Secondary gaining momentum, I have enjoyed, together with other members of the leadership
team, the opportunity to be involved in a number of parent forums at St Joseph’s Hindmarsh, St Michael’s College Primary Campus
and most recently Star of the Sea School. It was great to be able to provide information, field questions and discuss matters pertaining
to transition processes and St Michael’s College readiness for this significant initiative. A highlight of the St Michael’s and Star of the
Sea forums were the question and answer sessions with current Year 8 students Lachlan Hoy, Nadia Spaccavento and Oliver Pedisic.
Below is a snapshot of the responses from Nadia and Oliver at the SOS forum:
So far, I have made new friends and I feel I have transitioned really well. I am really enjoying the new experiences and all the teachers are
nice.
Some of my main concerns/worries was getting lost and not being able to find my classes. However, the teachers are really forgiving and
helpful and they helped me to be organised. I worried about making new friends as the school is huge compared to Primary School. I have
been late a couple of times but now I feel more comfortable and know my way around.
We attended an Information Night and Orientation Day as part of the transition process; these were both useful and beneficial events.
Spending the day at St Michaels was great because the Year 12s talked to us and gave us a tour. I got to meet the other students in my
pastoral class and some of the teachers. Also receiving a letter from past Year 8s, with helpful hints and words of encouragement was
valuable. I would have loved another Orientation Day so we could have met all the teachers.
The older students are very friendly, especially the Year 12s and Year 9s as they know what we are going through. The Year 12s have saved
me a few times from getting lost.
Initially I was very nervous about who was going to be in my class, everyone was feeling the same way. I had about five Star of the Sea
kids in my pastoral class which helped me feel more comfortable. My suggestion is to talk to everyone, be friendly and smile and before
you know it, you have made new friends.
So far, some of the highlights of the year for me have been participating in all the great Co-curricular activities and lunchtime sports and
clubs. Also the Music department is enjoyable, especially all the band rooms and variety of instruments available.
My message to concerned parents/students would be that the first day is always a worry, but everything is ok after that and you get used
to it quickly.
My message to future Year 8 students would be to; make sure you talk to everyone, smile and be friendly. Do what you want to do with
subject choices, extra-curricular activities and do not worry about what your friends are doing because you will make new friends.
The new curriculum is not too challenging as we are really well prepared and have prior knowledge. Year 8 is great because you get to
choose your electives that include Drama, Art, Music, D&T and Coding, that’s a lot of choices.
I look forward to more interaction over the next 18 months.
Live Jesus in our Hearts!

PRIMARY CAMPUS PHOTOS ~ 14 JUNE
Class and individual photos will be taken of students in Reception to Year 7 on Wednesday 14 June. Students will require their full

Advanced Life School Photography have been engaged as the providers of School Photographs in 2017. For the convenience of our
school community, school photos can now be ordered and paid for online using a secure online platform. Students absent on the 14
June will have their Individual/Family Photographs taken on Friday 16 June, however no Class Photographs will be take on this date.
Orders placed online DO NOT require an envelope, cash/cheques or paperwork returned to school.
Envelope Orders: photos can also be purchased in the traditional manner using an envelope, with cash/cheque enclosed. Envelopes
will distributed in the near future
The preference of our school is that orders and payments be made online, as this reduces the administration and associated security
issues related to the return of cash & envelopes on photo day.
To place your order visit www.advancedlife.com.au and enter the code: RCK D29 ZQ6. This code can also be found printed on your
envelope.
Sibling/Family Photos can be ordered online or via envelope. To ensure a smoothly run photo day, online orders for Sibling/Family
Photos will be cut off at 12:00am the night before the photo day. Sibling photos can still be ordered after the online cut-off date by
collecting an envelope from the office and returning the envelope on photo day with your payment enclosed.
All online orders should be placed on or before the day of photography. The online code above may also be used to order sports and
other group photos. All orders placed online will be delivered to the school for collection.
SPORT TRAININGS - INCLEMENT WEATHER
Students/Parents will be notified as soon as possible after 2:30pm, if sport training has been cancelled. A text message will be sent
from the Primary Campus to families advising them of the cancellation. In the event the weather becomes inclement after 2:30pm,
training sessions will be modified and/or moved indoors.
LATENESS
Missing a few minutes of school each day might not seem such an issue but research shows that mornings are the most productive
time for children. That late arrival especially if it is habit forming, places your son at a distinct disadvantage to fully utilise the most
valuable learning time of the day. Several helpful hints are:
•
Establish a morning routine and remove distractions such as television and electronic games
•
Set realistic time expectations including checking the school bag the night before
PARKING CONCERNS
It has come to the Colleges notice that a number of the SMC community are not adhering to regulations when parking around the
College. A local resident needing to access medical attention was unable to exit her driveway recently. You are asked to note in
South Australia, the Road Traffic Legislation specifies the legal parking distance from a driveway is 1.8metres on the approach or
departure side of an entrance, exit, laneway, driveway, crossing place or other vehicular pathway. It has also been highlighted that,
motorist are disregarding the restrictions on East Avenue. The concerns of these residents have been forwarded to the Council for
monitoring.

MIDDLE PRIMARY MOTHER’S DAY EVENT
On Tuesday 16 May, a wonderful celebration in honour of Mothers was held at the Primary Campus. The event started in Founders
Hall with a mass conducted by Father Chris Murphy supported by Middle Primary (Years 2, 3 and 4). Afterwards our special guests,
including mums, grandmas, aunties and treasured friends enjoyed arts and craft in the classroom where we saw portraits, creative
headpieces, bouquets and other activities taking place. The Mothers were then escorted back to Founders Hall for morning tea.
Thank you to all that attended and especially to Father Chris for celebrating Mass on this occasion. We take this opportunity to thank
our Parent Committee, Primary Administration Team and Maintenance Staff for supporting the event.
Mrs Elicia Burford, Coordinator Middle Primary

YEAR 8 SCIENCE
In Week 5, Ms Harby’s Year 8 Science class used their knowledge about plant and animal cells to create cell model cakes. Through
independent research, thoughtful planning and collaboration, students designed and constructed these creative (and tasty) models.
The students thoroughly enjoyed the activity and the level of creativity and application to the task was very impressive.
Ms Chloe Harby, Teacher-Science
YEAR 12 MODERN HISTORY EXCURSION TO FLINDERS UNIVERSITY
On Thursday 1 June the two Stage 2 Modern History classes
went to Flinders University to undertake research on their
major essays in the Central Library. They also participated in a
Q&A session with Associate Professor Andrekos Varnaba, Dr
Carol Fort and special guest Associate Professor David
Lockwood.
Mr Matthew Muscat, Head of Department-History
The following is some feedback from the students:
Going to Flinders was definitely an eye-opener for me. We were
able to not only further develop our research skills regarding
our History essays, but also had the opportunity to see and be
exposed to ‘uni-life’. Being able to discuss our History topics
and queries with Historians was incredibly useful for the
students, providing valid tips and advice regarding how to
properly construct History essays as well as beneficial research
and study habits. Gianna Guttilla 12BI
The excursion was a highly valuable experience for my major
work. I was able to ask questions to the lecturers who provided
highly credible information and ideas of what I can discuss
throughout my major. I was able to undertake extensive
research within the library, which has over 1,000,000 books. I
found it easy to find a broad range of information. Thank you
to the lecturers for providing us with such a valued experience;
this will help me in undertaking my major assignment.
Lauren Daly 12AM
The excursion was extremely beneficial for a number of
reasons. Upon arrival, it was astonishingly different to the high
school environment we were all used to. We were given a quick
tour of the University and the large Library. After we explored
the Library and collected some books that were applicable to
our major assignment, we then took the time to study using
the resources available. We spoke to some History lecturers.
This was a productive means of gaining information about
History as a subject in general, as well as specific information
for our assignments. Overall, it was an enjoyable and
productive experience. Austyn Scambiatterra 12DE
HISTORY DEPARTMENT – NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM
On Monday 22 May, the Semester 1 Year 9 History classes created and hosted the inaugural “Night at the Museum” as part of their
Depth Study on the First World War with an Australian focus. The evening was held in the Mary Mackillop Centre. There were a number
of displays that were created including trenches, interactive multimedia displays, posters, trench food, ANZAC biscuits, costumes,
photo booths and other displays.
Many thanks to all of the students, teachers, parents/caregivers, grandparents and community members that supported the students
and classes by attending on the night. It was great to see so many people participating in this event. Also special thanks to the History
Trust of South Australia and the Henley-Grange RSL for lending us historical materials, such as World War I games and original First
World War items, which added to the displays that were set up.
Mr Matthew Muscat, Head of Department-History
YEAR 8 MEDIEVAL HISTORY PRESENTATION
During Week 5, the Semester 1 Year 8 History classes had a Medieval History presentation in the Mary Mackillop Centre and on the
school oval. They were able to hear about warfare, battles and the weapons used, which directly relate to their areas of study. Students
were able to try on the armour and use a trebuchet and other siege weapons under the guidance of Mike Dunajew (aka “Bear”) and
his Medieval team.
Mr Matthew Muscat, Head of Department-History
The following is feedback from some students about
the presentation:
We were lucky enough to have a medieval armourist
named Bear and his tribe come in and speak to all of
the Year 8s about Medieval Europe. Bear and his
assistants let us try on Medieval Armour, which Bear
himself had recreated, and showed us how the
individual pieces offered protection. Hamish was the
first volunteer, to be dressed in armour. We learnt
about weapons such as swords, axes and spears, but
Bear also taught us about siege warfare and how the
enemy inside a castle could be defeated. To end the
presentation, Bear let various volunteers, launch
stress balls across the room with catapults. It was
great to see everything we had learned in class in
real life before our eyes.
Hamish O’Callaghan, Isaac Brown and Kobe Burt 8ST
I liked the way that they presented themselves and how they involved the students. I also liked their way of teaching with the
catapults and other items. They were funny and entertaining at times. The fact that they made all of the props and many different
medieval inventions really helped with the visual side of the presentation. Jack Pesce 8DN

COMMUNITY AWARENESS DAY (CAD) AND REFLECTION ACTIVITY DAY (RAD)
The Year 10 Community Awareness Day (CAD) and Reflection Activity Day (RAD) are fast approaching. These will occur on Wednesday
21 June and Thursday 22 June. The Year Level will be split into two groups and do different activities on each day. The community
awareness day is designed to assist students to understand how many organisations assist people in the community. The students will
visit the organisation and have a presentation by a representative of the organisation to explain their role in the community. Students
will then share their insights with each other in the city at the Cathedral Hall. The other day will involve a presentation by Matt Crook
from Life Matters regarding setting goals for senior school, reflecting on self-image and being positive about life. More detail will be
forwarded in a detailed letter and completion and return of the permission slip as soon as possible is appreciated.
Mr Robert Dempsey, Acting Director of Mission
GIRLS PE CLASSES
Parents/caregivers are informed that all girls participating in PE classes can only wear black tights during lessons with their SMC PE
shorts over the top. Black tights are not part of the College uniform as per the diary. There are exceptions to this with Dance. In the
colder weather, they are permitted to wear College track pants.
All girls will be given until Week 7 to make this change. After this point they will not be permitted to participate during lessons and
will be given theory work until addressed. If there are any concerns over this, please email Mr Hicks.
Mr Dylan Hicks, Head of Health & Physical Education
ITALIAN WEEK – TORNEO DI CALCIO (SOCCER TOURNAMENT)
Football or soccer (calcio) is Italy’s national sport and by far the most followed. The Italian Week ‘torneo di calico’ was open to all
students (boys and girls) from all year levels. That being said, it was the Year 8/9 boys that showed the most enthusiasm and as a
result, we had two Year 8 tournaments and one Year 9 tournament. All matches were closely contested and played in good spirits.
Bravi ragazzi, ci vediamo l’anno prossimo!
Below are the campioni:
Year 8 CAMPIONI (Torneo Uno)
Respect FC: Christian Basile, James Nicholas, Heath Whitehill, Dylan
Lamneck, Ethan Golding, Nicolas Andresakis, Sebastian Schockman.
Year 8 CAMPIONI (Torneo Due)
PAB-VOB City: Hamish O’Callaghan, Filip Paragalas, Jakob Virlas, Nathan
Burlow, Nicholas Andresakis, Christian Barabaro.
Year 9 CAMPIONI:
Squadra 2006: Nathan Bingham, Luis Benedetti, Dimitri Karagiannakis,
Michael Laudato, Zachary Adamopoulos, Peter Dichiera.
Complimenti ragazzi! ‘Grazie mille’ to all that participated and assisted in our
three tournament days. A special thank you to Pierre Hellmanns and Rian Del
Nido for refereeing.
A few fun calcio facts that relate to il numero sette:
Il numero sette… fortunato o sfortunato?
Sette finali perse: Juventus (Italian champions) recently lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid. This was the seventh time
they have lost ‘il finale’. This is now a record.
Sette finali vinti: AC Milan (i rossoneri) have won the European Cup/Champions League (the most prestigious title) on seven occasions,
second only to Real Madrid. Forza vecchio cuore rossonero!
Settima in classifica: Animals are often used to represent football clubs in Italy – the grass snake, called Il biscione or Serpente,
represents Inter. Inter (Internazionale) finished seventh in this season’s campionato.
Sette volte tra le prime tre: Seven is also the number of times the Italian national team has reached the ‘top 3’ of the World Cup.
They have won it four times (second only to Brasile & equal with Germania), lost in the final twice and won the third place play-off in
1990 against Inghilterra.

SSSSA CROSS COUNTRY STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS~OAKBANK-2017 RESULTS
The 2017 SSSSA Cross Country State Championships at Oakbank was, as usual, a fantastic event. This year we were blessed with
clear blue skies, with the absence of rain for the first time in years, music to the students ears (mostly). The energy from some of the
students on the way up the freeway on the bus was profound, with many belting out their own tunes without the aid of a radio or
music. All students took this fantastic energy into their respective races, with all of them competing extremely well across the board
on the day. All students who participated on the day should be very proud of themselves. The Oakbank Cross Country track is a very
difficult one, and each runner took it on headfirst.
Particular congratulations must go to the teams and individuals who finished in the top three for their events. Congratulations to
Jasmine Lee, Charlotte Dolan, Megan Dini and Tiana Fernandez in the 15 Year Old Girls and Zachary Buck, Dylan Ridley, Connor
Tunbridge and Mohammad Heidari in the 15 Year Old Boys, all finishing third in the teams event. Congratulations to Jobe Norris, Ethan
Golding, Ryan Johnson and Noah Angove who finished first in the 13 Year Old Boys teams event.
Congratulations to Madison Schwarz who finished first in the State and Chloe Schwarz who finished second in the State in the 13 Year
Old Girls event. This is the fourth time in a row (since their first run in the 10 Year Old Girls event) that both Madison and Chloe have
taken first and second place (in the same order). This is an amazing record for the girls.
