Dear St Michael’s Community,
NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
Reconciliation involves building positive and respectful relationships
between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples for the benefit of all Australians. To create positive
change we need more people talking about the issues and getting
involved.
National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about
our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to contribute to
building a reconciled Australia. Every year, it is held between two
significant milestones in Australia’s history, May 27 and June 3.
May 27 is the anniversary of the 1967 referendum in which more than
90% of Australians voted ‘Yes’ to count Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander peoples in the census and give the Australian Government the
power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The
day before National Reconciliation Week, 26 May, is National Sorry Day,
which was first held in Sydney in 1998 and is now commemorated
nationally to remember and honour the Stolen Generations. June 3
marks the historic 1992 Mabo decision in which the High Court of Australia
recognised native title – the recognition that Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander peoples’ rights over their lands did survive British colonisation.
The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2016 is Our History, Our
Story, Our Future
Our History, Our Story, Our Future is derived from the State of
Reconciliation in Australia report, which asks all Australians to reflect on
our national identity, and the place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and rights in our nation’s
story:
‘Our History’ reminds us all that historical acceptance is essential to our reconciliation journey. Historical acceptance
will exist when all Australians understand and accept the fact that past laws, practices and policies deeply affected the
lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, often having devastating immediate impacts and causing much
of the disadvantage that exists today. It is also a commitment to ensuring these wrongs are never repeated in the
future.
‘Our Story’ reflects the fact that the journey towards reconciliation forms a significant part of Australia’s story, as do
the stories of both trauma and triumph told by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It also encourages each
and every one of us to make reconciliation part of our own story.
‘Our Future’ reinforces that reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move
forward, in the knowledge that we believe in fairness for everyone, that our diversity makes us richer, and that together,
we are stronger.
Live Jesus in our Hearts!

WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS WORKSHOP
Recently the University of Adelaide gave two of our Year 12 female students the opportunity to spend a day at a “Women &
Mathematics” Workshop, talking to academics and students and participating in different activities. This day was intended to be an
insight for the students as to what it might be like to study Mathematics at University level and what fields of research students could
become involved in. The students had a very informative and positive day.
“On the 10 May, we were gifted with the opportunity to attend the Women’s Mathematics
Workshop held at The University of Adelaide. We toured the University, were exposed to
several mind-baffling paradoxes and were able to experiment with fractals. The day is
aimed at girls who look to apply for a Mathematics Degree at Adelaide University. We
highly recommend this workshop because, even if you aren’t planning on a Maths career,
it opened our eyes to what the University has to offer and was enjoyable whilst
informative.”

YEAR 8 HISTORY - MEDIEVAL PRESENTATION
During History Month, the Semester 1 Year 8 History classes recently had
a Medieval Presentation come to the College as part of their studies under
the Australian Curriculum. Students were able to hear about Medieval
weapons and siege warfare. They were given the opportunity to try some
activities themselves, bringing the History they have studied in the
classroom to life. Below are some student comments regarding the
presentation:
We watched a very entertaining medieval presentation run by Fire Bear
Armoury. We learned all the different kinds of armour and weapons, when
they were used and how they were upgraded throughout the years. The
presentation was very interactive and everyone got a chance to test out
the siege weapons. Overall, I thought it was great fun and I would love
to watch it again. Claudia Bitar 8GG
Students in our class dressed up in the armour which included an iron
chest plate, leather clothing, chainmail and more. We went outside and
the presenters demonstrated the catapults, canons and siege weapons.
The presentation was very interactive as we got to use the equipment
that they brought. I really liked how they kept us entertained the whole
time. Tess Boulton 8GG
The Medieval presentation gave the audience many facts and knowledge while still involving the viewers in some interactive activities.
This presentation gave the audience members a realistic feel to what is would have been like in medieval times as they demonstrated
the amour, weapons and gave us a good idea for what it is like in the medieval society. I walked away from this presentation with
knowledge I didn’t know and extra facts that I built on to what I learnt in class. Pru Cassar 8GG
We had a fabulous time during the Medieval presentation. It was really great how well everyone interacted with the presentation. It
was great getting to experience, and actually feel like we were there in the Middle Ages. It was also a lot of fun trying out the catapults
and seeing others try on armour. Everyone really enjoyed it, and I believe everyone had a great time. Charlotte Dolan 8GG
Mr Matthew Muscat, Head of Department - History
YEAR 8 HOMEWORK CLUB INITIATIVE
All Year 8 students have been offered support with homework through the College Homework Club. The aim is to provide students
with the opportunity to access support from a team of teachers, representing various curriculum areas. Students are able to use the
time to complete tasks with the assistance of a teacher should it be required, and they have full use of computers and other resources
within the College. Students are free to attend at their own will, or can be referred by a teacher. This is a service that is offered with
no additional costs to parents.
The Homework Club is held every Tuesday from 3:30pm – 4:30pm in Room 2 and will run until the remainder of the term.
To join the Homework Club, students can turn up on the day and begin receiving support from fellow students and teachers.
For any more information on this, please contact Ms Rachel Philp, Assistant Director – Year 8.

GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENT CONFERENCE DAY
Recently, a group of Year 11 students attended the Gifted and Talented Student Conference day hosted by Julie Arliss and Jefferey
Hodges. Julie Arliss lectures at King’s College and works in association with Oxford and Exeter Universities, organising student study
days internationally. Jeffrey Hodges is a performance consultant who works in the area of helping young people realise their potential
through successful life management and thinking skills.
The focus of the day was on a variety of topics which were approached from many different disciplines so that students begin to see
connections between different areas of study and the bigger picture.
Students were challenged with many questions and encouraged to think in diverse ways. The following is a reflection on their
experiences of the day:
On the Wednesday of Week 3, Mr Karnas and a group of Year 11 students travelled to Concordia College for a philosophy conference,
presented by Julie Arliss, a speaker from King's College, Oxford, and Jeffrey Hodges, a psychological coach for Olympic athletes. The
day was spent pondering deep and sometimes puzzling questions, such as, "What is knowledge, and what can I classify as knowledge?"
"What effects can belief have on my life?" “Who am I, and what can be called my 'self'?" and "Are moral values universal, and are they
grounded in fact or emotion?" We were exposed to interesting and varying opinionated answers to these questions, coming from
various sources, mostly philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Berkeley, and Descartes. The day ended with a debate between the
speakers, which incorporated much of what we learnt during the lectures. It was an intriguing and eye-opening day, and we all learnt
a lot. Thank you to Mr Karnas for organising this opportunity. Benjamin Fitzgerald 11RO
Students were rapt as Julie took them on a philosophical journey from Justice and Chaos theory through to the Precautionary
Principle. The unique day proved to be one which provided broadening of knowledge, critical thinking and inspiration for all those who
attended.
Mr Karnas, Gifted and Talented Coordinator
CROSS-COUNTRY & HOUSE SPORTS COMPETITION
Last Friday all Year 8 to Year 10 students participated in the annual Cross-Country & House Sports Competition. This day involves
each year level participating in a rotation of Cross-Country Running, Netball and Tug-O-War. We were blessed with ideal weather for
these activities and the tone of the day was fantastic with many students’ dressed in house colours and all students showing a high
level of participation and enthusiasm. This day further allowed all students express their house spirit and compete in a fun-filled
environment. Overall winners on the day were Mutien House (Green), who just managed to beat Miguel House (Sky) to win the Br
Chris Gorringe House Sports Cup. Winner of the Geoff Cornish Spirit & Sportsmanship Cup was Benilde House (Royal Blue). This event
is proving to be an enjoyable day on the College calendar for middle school students and will only get better into the future.

CO-CURRICULAR NEWS
OPEN GIRLS KNOCKOUT FOOTBALL
On Friday 20 May, 30 St Michael’s Girls Footballers travelled to Unley
High School for the first round of the Open Girls Knockout Football
Competition. The team has a strong reputation after finishing 2nd in
the State last year, with the girls hoping to go one better in 2016.
The first game of the day was against Adelaide High School. After
arriving at the venue early to see the last quarter of the previous
Adelaide High versus Unley High School match, the girls knew the key
to beating these two teams was strong play at ground level and
utilising their ability to run the ball through the middle. Our first 22
players started the game strong, backing up each other with
shepherding and quickly getting to any loose balls. Olivia Watts and
Paris Rowe did well in the ruck, directing balls to Chloe Forby and
Sophie Morgan who showed no fear to make the most of these taps,
creating a strong run forward towards our forward fifty. Carly Turner
and Kelsey Preece were strong targets converting numerous goals,
with Sarah Victory, Genna Liambis, Sophie Morgan and Olivia Watts being our other goal scorers for the match. The final score was
54-0.
After a short 40 minute break, our second match for the day against Unley High School kicked off. This was always going to be the
tougher match of the two after they had convincingly beat Adelaide High School earlier that morning. We had the benefit of some
fresh legs, rotating new players into the 22 person line up. The first 10 minutes saw the ball going back and forth through the middle
with mainly rushed behinds being scored. Rebecca Passaniti and Breanna Barry worked hard through the midfield, with Alex Watts
and Madelaine McInerney providing some taller targets on our forward 50 line. Alysha Fitzgerald showcased her speed and agility
regularly finding free space in our forward line, but it was Genna Liambis who proved too good for her opposition converting 3 goals
for the match. A magnificent game by all the girls, meant the ball never went inside Unley’s forward fifty throughout the match. The
final score saw another great win 67-0.
Round 2 of the Open Girls Knockout Football will take place later this term against Trinity College and Banksia Park High School. We
wish the girls the best of luck.
