Dear Parents,
NAIDOC WEEK ASSEMBLY
Mary Anderson and Holly O’Donnell of Year 10 celebrated NAIDOC Week
with the Champagnat Catholic College Community on Thursday. The girls
listened to Kurtley Beale talk about his experiences as a young Indigenous
man going to school away from home at St Joseph’s College Hunters Hill and
then heard Elsie Heiss talk about her experiences as a young woman growing
up in Australia. Elsie had some great words of advice for everyone there.

BRIGIDINE BASICS
- Girls leave class at 3pm but
the School reserves the right
to require the girls to stay
until 3.20pm.
- Every girl is to be at school
by 8.30am each morning.
- Teaching commences at
8.40am
- Supervision of girls begins at
8.20am. Girls should be in
either the Main Quad or the
Canteen Quad.
- Parents should not drop and
pick up daughters in Aeolia
Street. This causes
dangerous traffic for the
students.
May Brigid bless all you do to make good things happen in our world.

Founder’s Day
What a fabulous day! The entire school community – students, teachers and parents made the
day such a wonderful occasion. The mass was beautiful and afterwards the girls and teachers got
into the spirit of the day dressing up in costumes related to our theme “Environment”. Prizes
were won – Mecca Cosmetica vouchers for the seniors students, Kikki K vouchers for the junior
students. Sweet Spot vouchers were also won on the various competitions being run around the
school throughout the day. Students ate sausages & freddo frogs and drank water, all whilst
jumping on jumping castles, entering the doughnut eating competition, wrestling in sumo suits
and versing each other on the giant twister board and Chess board; or for those who needed
some time out, chilling out in our passive area playing cards and chatting.
Thanks to all those parents who helped out with the BBQ on the day.

YOUTH MINISTRY JUNE EDITION
BRIGIDINE FAMILY MASS ON SUNDAY 21 JUNE
On the 21st of June, students from Brigidine provided the music for the OLSH parish mass. The
Girls either played an instrument or sang in the choir.
The girls participated in a two hour workshop before mass where they learnt the mass repertoire,
chosen by Brett, the guitar teacher, and Mrs Ross. The pieces included Here I Am, Live the Gospel
(composed by Br James Maher msc) and Go make a difference, with a solo on the tambourine
played by Chiara Harbutt. It was quite challenging to learn the new repertoire in two hours but,
as usual, the girls pulled through and performed amazingly.
Thanks to our musicians and singers, Jaynell Vila, Holly Lockhart, Chiara Harbutt, Robyn Lam, Erika
Vallejera, Angelica Queyquep, Saki Konda, Justine Vallejera , Kyriaki Xexenis and Jennifer Hoe. A
big thank you to Mrs Ross, Mrs Day, Ms Edmondson and Brett Adamson for supporting the girls
and also helping with the music. We hope to see more girls at our next Mass in Term 3.
Special thanks to Mr Brett Adamson our workshop facilitator and Br James Maher msc who
played and sang with the Brigidine music liturgy group during the mass.

MUFTI FUND RAISER FOR WOULD YOUTH DAY POLAND 2016
Last Friday 19th June students were asked to dress in the colours of the Polish flag as our first
formal fund raising event for 2015.Some students and teachers were very creative with their
outfits and one student from Year 9, Natalia Smorawinska, wore an authentic Polish T-shirt.
Prizes were awarded to the best dressed in every year level so there was incentive for the
students to participate. The Community contributed nearly $650 which will help with costs like
travel and accommodation for the 13 pilgrims who have expressed an interest in going to Poland
next year.
The fundraising efforts will continue over the next 12months and I will keep the Brigidine
Community informed of these upcoming events.
Look forward to seeing you next term at some of our fund raising events.

YEAR 11 RYDA EXCURSION
On the 11th of June, Year 11 had the opportunity to participate in the Rotary Youth Driver
Awareness (RYDA) program, in Homebush, regarding road safety and the consequences of not
being a responsible driver. The day was aimed at increasing our knowledge and awareness of the
dangers of driving and how to reduce them.
We took part in various practical and interactive workshops including demonstrations about car
stopping distances and presentations about hazards and distractions on and off the road.
Students also participated in discussions about how personality may affect people’s different
responses to road situations which highlighted the importance of being a cautious and
cooperative driver as well as an alert and assertive passenger.
In one session, we also had the chance to listen to the experiences of a crash survivor and
discovered first-hand how car accidents can result in life changing outcomes. She spoke about her
personal intellectual, physical, social, financial and emotional struggles following the crash; and
also emphasised the impacts and traumas that often emerge from being unaware of road safety
practices.
The program also included a powerful video about the tragic death of Genevieve, an 18 year old
provisional driver, and her best friend that occurred simply due to a lack of experience and poor
decision making on the road. Genevieve’s story served as a real eye opener to many of us and
made us more conscious about the fact that one simple mistake can lead to dire and sometimes
fatal consequences.
Overall, the day was a very valuable experience. On behalf of Year 11, we would like to thank
Rotary - Road Safety Education and the Brigidine teachers who made the day possible.

YEAR 9 VISUAL ARTS AT THE CHINESE GARDENS AND ART GALLERY OF NEW
SOUTH WALES
The two Year 9 Visual Art classes of 2015 accompanied by Ms Brennan and Ms Smyth went on an
excursion to the Chinese Garden of Friendship and the Art Gallery of NSW.
We felt more peaceful in the Chinese Garden of Friendship, as the garden was a quiet, calming
place, not only to reflect on the beautiful location but appreciate the Chinese culture. We have
been learning to be 'in the moment' and by being in the Chinese Gardens we got a chance to
think about it. We became mindfully aware of what was going on in that exact moment and being
able to transfer it into our own Haiku Poems.
An example of one by Lara Pagola:
"Life falls through leaves
Breathing with nature’s beauty
Grasping innocence"
The way the Chinese Garden is maintained is a lot different to the way gardens are looked after in
our society as the Chinese Gardens have more meaning and history.
After the Chinese Gardens the bus took us to the Art Gallery where we saw the exhibition
‘Photography in Australia’ which expressed to us how photographic technology has advanced
over time. The exhibition really made us realise how rare it was to have a camera back in those
days and the way technology has changed the way we can take a photograph. Ms Brennan
encouraged us to visit the gallery in our own time to look at more artworks.
The experience was one that we will never forget so we would like to thank the Visual Arts
teachers for taking us.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VISUAL ARTS STUDENTS VISIT COCKATOO ISLAND
On the 4th of June in the early hours of the morning, year 11 photography and visual arts
students ventured out to Circular Quay at 6:30am to travel to the industrial Cockatoo Island. As
the sun rose over the bridge, we enjoyed a scenic ferry trip across the harbour, and after 40
minutes we were all ready for hot coffees and bacon and egg rolls. Once we arrived at the island,
photography students were able to walk around and explore the fascinating location as they
documented the captivating scenery and essence of the island. The soft early morning light
allowed for the photographs to look outstanding with a variety images such as close up and
landscape photos being taken. Visual Arts students were also able to capture the essence and
scenery of the island as they used a variety of different mediums including pencil, oil pastel and
water colour to create amazing artworks of the island. The morning overall was extremely
relaxing with many enjoyable hours of photography and art making. The excursion was definitely
worth the very early morning wake up, and is something that I know everyone would love to do
again.

WHAT A NIGHT! 2015 TAS Show - Thurs Jun 18th
The Good Food and Design Show was held last Thursday night and oh what a great night it was.
The night celebrated the creative spirit of students studying the different subjects offered under
the TAS curriculum (Technology Applied Studies).
TAS offers a large wide range of opportunities to Brigidine girls. It includes; Design and
Technology, Food Technology, Graphics Technology and Hospitality and on Thursday night over
1200 families, students and friends were there to witness the magical night.
Here are some of the great moments captured during the night .
Collaborative Challenge ups its game
For the first time ever, Design and Technology students of year 10, 11 and 12 competed against
each other in the TAS show collaborative design challenge in which they showcased on the
runway.
This year the brief involved creating a garment out of laminated printed paper. Each year group
formed groups to respond to this brief. They had less than 3 weeks to create a show stopping
garment that would win their group fashion vouchers.
In the past, the collaborative challenge involved only year 12 Design and Technology students.
The TAS faculty strives to come up with exciting ways to challenge our creative girls and decided
that this year it would be great to see how Years 10 and 11 Design and Technology students
would perform against the year 12 students.
The girls without a doubt made it hard for our TAS faculty to judge the winning the team. Here
are some of the photos of the contestants.
The winning group: Year 10 - Annalise Jones, Bonnie Burns, Shirley Chia, Jessica McBride
Garment was worn by: Holly McManus (Top left)
11 Hospitality Caters for the TAS Show
The Year 11 Hospitality students chopped, sliced, stirred, rolled, folded, mixed, fried, baked and
assembled hundreds of food items to feed the masses that came to experience the TAS show. The
menu included pumpkin and fetta risotto balls, sausage rolls, cheese and spinach triangles, duck
pancakes and mini burgers.
The students had already spent time planning the event in terms of roles, work flow, food
preparation, and assigning tasks so that on the day they were organised, methodical, in control
and amazing! Some of the students transported the food down to the Cullen area where on
arrival, they offered the food to the hundreds of people present. All the Hospitality students did a
great job, gained valuable real life experience and worked very hard.
Puzzle Hunt
To promote this year’s Good Food and Design Show, a team of TAS teachers along with Year 9
Graphics Technology student Stephanie Bryson, worked together to create a puzzle hunt that led
students searching for clues all around the school.
The first person to solve the hunt won VIP tickets to the show. It was an incredible challenge and
a great prize that included 2 front row seats to the show, 2 goody bags plus food and drinks
served to them during the show.
Just days before show night, Holly Lockhart from year 10 solved the final clue and won! She
shares her experience of being a VIP winner and the lengths she went to solve the clues.
The VIP Prize:
My VIP Experience - By Holly Lockhart Year 10
The experience of being a VIP at the TAS show was an experience I will
never forget. From working out the riddles, to winning the tickets, all the
way to sitting there with one of the best views was truly very exciting.
I received the VIP tickets for the TAS show by completing a puzzle hunt
with QR codes hidden around the school. They led me everywhere, from
Cullen to the library and to Synan. Finally I found the last QR code and it
told me to send the letters that I found at each QR code to an email address. From there I
received an email with a series of riddles about Claude, who had gone missing, and the first riddle
was ‘When did he disappear?’ I figured that out quite quickly and then moved on to the final
riddle which was ‘Who made him disappear?’ That one was a bit harder but luckily it also came
with some clues which allowed me to figure it out (before Ms Fairall).
At the TAS show, my guest and I were shown to our seats which were brilliantly
decorated and also right in front of the runway. From there we had the
best view of all the TAS show had to offer. Also on our
seats were pieces of caramel slice and a box
of caramel popcorn (both of which were delicious). When we sat down we were given plates of
all the savoury food that were being served that night including delicious duck pancakes and
scrumptious sausage rolls.
As it started we were blown away by the amazing designs of the different years at our school and
how talented all of the designers were. From the bags of the year sevens to the gorgeous outfits
of the year elevens all of the design were beautiful and amazing and really showcased the talent
that our D&T department has. I especially liked the year 10 designs which had a theatrical theme.
All in all, being a VIP at the TAS was a very rewarding and exciting experience and I can’t wait to
see what happens at the TAS show next year.

Drawing Competition Winners
This year, a drawing competition was held to promote the
2015 Good Food and Design Show. It was a chance for
Brigidine students to show what they think this year’s TAS
show theme was all about. It was also a great chance to show
off their drawing talents and be in the draw to win Sportsgirl
Vouchers.
The task was to create an illustration to represent this year’s
theme “Black and White: Illusion vs Reality”
To select the winners, there were two main criteria that the
judges were searching for:
-
A creative interpretation of the theme
And demonstration of great talent in the
choice of medium they used – this could be
hand drawn, computer generated or a use of
an app – there was no limitation as to how the
illustration was to be created.
Here are the winners:
Thank you to all the entries. It shows how creative Brigidine students are. Congratulations to the
winners.
OTHER TAS NEWS
Bags completed!
Congratulations to 7Tech5 for completing their first unit in Technology. The students were given a
design brief at the beginning of the year to design and construct a bag to meet the needs of a
target market. Students investigated their chosen target market and explored numerous bag
designs that incorporated 2 reusable materials. A part of this unit included a portfolio where they
needed to document their design process that showed their experiments of a range of ideas,
materials, tools and techniques. Many of these girls had never used a sewing machine before and
now they are sewing experts. Well done to each girl!
7 Tech 3
This semester 7Tech 3 students were involved in the processes of designing and creating themed
clocks. They gained experience in using scroll saws, the disc sander and the drill press in our
woodwork area. Students were also required to document the design process in a portfolio which
incorporated research, idea generation, production steps and evaluation. The results were
colourful and fun!
