秀秀直播

On Wednesday 29 August, 秀秀直播 hosted our R U OK? Day. This is a national day of awareness about mental health and suicide prevention as it affects all people in all walks of life. R U OK? aims to prevent suicide using four steps: 1. Asking the simple question 鈥淩 U Ok?鈥� 2. Listening without judgement. 3. Encourage action 4. Check in with the person.

We felt that it was important to voice this issue and educate the students on the Marcellin Campus about a very real and difficult topic that is not normally discussed in the classroom. This is our second year of running the R U OK? Day at 秀秀直播, and in under a year we have seen an immediate increase in this topic being discussed and shared in the classroom by teachers and students alike.

Thanks to the support and cooperation of Mrs Bramanto our Leader of Wellbeing, Mr Finneran and the College Psychologists, we were able to contact Glenn Gerber, a motivational speaker and partner with R U OK?. Glenn spoke to the Years 10 and 11 students during extended PCG.

Throughout the day students were encouraged to accessorise with yellow items; the colour of R U OK?. It was amazing to see so many students wearing yellow hats, wristbands, scrunchies and even yellow suspenders (worn by Liam Street one of our founders of the day). A concert was also planned during lunch but was unfortunately cancelled due to heavy rain.

Liam Street & Dakota Scrimshaw, Year 11 Students

On Friday 24 August, 51 students from the 秀秀直播 Dance Troupe performed at the Catholic Performing Arts Festival in the Creative Dance section. It was an amazing night filled with hard work, amazing performances and collaboration from students in Years 7-11. Troupe 1 performed a highly entertaining routine entitled 鈥楨nter the Circus鈥� with songs from the very popular 鈥楪reatest Showman鈥�, whilst Troupe 2 performed an intricate contemporary routine called 鈥楥onnect鈥�, showing how truly important we are to each other. to watch a video of ‘Connect’.

I was blown away at how professional each and every student was, and their hard work and dedication to them team. We look forward to performing these items along with many others at the 2018 Dance Showcase on Friday 26 October.

Student Reflections

This year, I had a wonderful experience at CPAF. The night went wonderfully; the dance looked amazing, the choreography, costumes, music and team characteristics were fabulous. Before we went onstage the whole troupe warmed up together and had a 鈥減ump up鈥� session. to watch a video. There were immense feelings of involvement and community. After the performance, I was delighted to receive many congratulations and complements for our performance. I enjoyed being able to talk with other students across the College ranging from Years 7-11 and bonding over dancing.

Amelia Hornby, Dance Captain

 

Wow! What an amazing experience it was to dance at the Catholic Performing Arts Festival. The Junior Troupe鈥檚 theme was 鈥楨nter the Circus鈥� which was a high energy, acrobatics and jazz routine. Our appreciative audience acknowledged all the hard work, time and effort both Troupes put in and especially our inspiring and motivating Dance teacher, Miss Crothers. I have been so grateful for the opportunity to connect with other 秀秀直播 students and other Catholic schools, through dance. I also enjoyed being able to represent the College, doing something I love.

Belle Jenkins, Year 7

 

Catholic Performing Arts was an awesome experience that brought dancers of many age groups together with a common interest. It was an extremely welcoming and encouraging environment with all teams cheering each other on. In preparation for the event, both teams rehearsed before school to ensure we were prepared and confident for the performance. We went to the Convention Centre for the first three periods on the Friday, where we rehearsed our pieces and learnt more about how the night would run. We all wore our new 秀秀直播 Dance jacket and t-shirt which made us really look and feel like a team!

Later that night we all arrived ready and exited to perform. Troupe 2 was up first with their piece 鈥淐onnect鈥�, a contemporary routine which looked at how our current society struggles to connect with one another, and performed very well! We got excellent report feedback for technique and entertainment. Troupe 1 followed with their item 鈥淓nter the Circus鈥� which was an upbeat jazz routine with a mix of songs about the circus, and they performed extremely well too.

Catholic Performing Arts was a great experience and opportunity for all dancers on the team and brought us all close together as one dance family. A big thanks from the whole team to Miss Crothers for providing us with these opportunities and being an awesome choreographer.

The opportunities our students have to be challenged leads to better engagement and behaviour.

Taking Students out of their comfort zone, where they need to navigate risk and problem solve, supports student engagement in the learning task and fosters perseverance and determination to achieve the goal or set task. When students are actively engaged in their learning, they are filled with a sense of pride, can move past times of disappointment and strive for personal excellence.

Year 7 Disco

Last night the College held its first Year 7 Disco. This wonderful initiative came from our Year 12 Student Council. Their work in organising the event reflects their commitment to student leadership, engagement and celebration. Students had a wonderful evening dancing to playlists from DJ Aaron Tsalis, a current Year 12 student, joined in games and posed with friends at the photo booth.

Laptop Care

Students and families are reminded that all devices must be carried in an approved laptop bag. This protects the device as students move across the College throughout the day. In the event that a students鈥� device is damaged, the College is not required to provide a loan device. Pastoral Care Teachers and Leaders of Wellbeing will check that the students have a laptop bag and are using it to carry their device. It is also an expectation that students bring their devices fully charged so that they are prepared for the day ahead. Students can charge their devices at school, however, they will need to bring their own charger and be responsible for their own accessories.
