Dear St Aloysius Catholic College Community,
We are at the end of Week 3 already. In this short time of term 2 we have had a Mother’s Day Stall (great job by the P&F) and breakfast, College Cross Country and University information evening to name just a few of the diverse activities that are on offer at St Aloysius. At the Middle and Senior Campuses, students have quickly become used to the new classroom expectations to begin and end a lesson and this is working well in ensuring that minds are switched to the learning that will follow. Students have returned to wearing the formal uniform well. I thank parents for their support in this. There will always be some outliers and I ask that you trust us that we will chase these up. Your child may say, “but so and so is doing it”, but so and so probably will have been spoken to and will have a consequence which your child may not be aware of. There are new processes in dealing with students not meeting expectations and these have been sent to you. Our hope is that in time, by being clear, consistent and fair there will not be a great deal of consequences to be concerned about.
This term I have spoken to students on all three campuses and am always heartened by the warm welcome I am given. St Aloysius is made of terrific young people and we will continue to aim to provide a diverse range of activities for them.
I think parents having conversations with students about their learning is the single most powerful thing that a parent can do to assist their child’s education. Showing that interest in their learning validates the importance of education to them. Students doing homework at the kitchen table while a parent is preparing dinner allows for a “what’s that you’re doing?” starting question. From my parenting experience, children doing homework in their room because it is quiet offers distractions in the form of social media, gaming or streaming which are not easily detected down the hall.
Final Thought
I was listening to a podcast for the new Tasmania Football Club. The first episode features proud Tasmanian and Collingwood player Jeremy Howe. He spoke about his football journey and mentioned the importance of being grateful for what we have and being kind to others. I often say to students what you give out will be reflected back to you. Gratitude and kindness, lovely to give out and uplifting to receive.
God Bless and Be the Good,
Mr Paul Reidy – College Principal
Last week at our Mother’s Day Mass, Father Mike Delaney encouraged students to see what their guardians do for them that goes unnoticed and that they take for granted. During my interaction with students last week, it was pleasing to hear them share the ‘one percenters’ of guardianship, such as being given cut lunches, a hug after school, transport to after-school activities and sharing a story before bed. The Mother’s Day Mass, led adeptly by Year 4 White, Polly Marriott and Maggie Sandric, certainly left an indelible mark on the students. It was a sincere and beautiful gathering, and I would like to thank Father Mike Delaney and the staff and students mentioned for their significant contributions to this occasion.
Term 2 extra-curricular activities are in full swing at the Junior Campus. Whether it is Dance Club, choir, chess, soccer or cross country, our students embrace every opportunity with zest. Our Junior Campus choir have the esteemed honour to perform in the Tasmania Sings Concert as part of The Festival of Voices on Wednesday, 3rd July. This showcase is a wonderful opportunity for our choir to showcase their talents on the big stage at Federation Concert Hall. The choir and Dance Club are also preparing for the upcoming Eisteddfod competitions later in the term. We thank Mrs Marla Leitch, Mrs Andrea Reece and Ms Amy Nelson for their contributions to these Junior Campus initiatives, along with every adult volunteer who supports extra-curricular activities.
Finally, in today’s Gospel reading, Jesus teaches us that his love is loyal and everpresent through our relationships. We must give thanks for the love we receive and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. Thank you to our guardians and parents who fill the hearts of our students every day.
Yours faithfully
Samuel Morey – Deputy Principal: Junior Campus
Year 3 Caritas Fundraiser
During Term 1 in HaSS, Year 3s looked at different communities around us. We also looked at different organisations people help and raise money for. In Religion, we deepened our understanding of Lent, and decided as a group to raise money for Project Compassion and help those that are less fortunate than others.
We were able to raise $1140.20.
‘Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.’
Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill was a great statesman. However, as with all of us, he had his faults and frailties. Autobiographies can tend to disappoint – instead of being uplifted by the apparent triumphs of others, we soon realise that progress comes in small steps – and so does failure. Failure is not a single event. We don’t fail overnight or on a single test day. For most of us, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgement, a few poor choices, repeated every day. Churchill led and wrote ‘from the high ground’ – he doesn’t strike me as terribly gentle or caring in some important areas of his life. However, I believe he was looked up to because he set himself goals that were grounded in principles that went beyond the person and place.
On their own, our daily acts don’t seem very important. One more TV program, an extra hour or two at the computer, sleeping in for another hour, skimping on homework – these don’t usually result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds. Since nothing drastic happens to us, we repeat our poor choices day after day, week after week, month after month and, before we know it, we are ‘confronted’ by the consequences of the multitude of tiny indiscretions, often regretting the wasted year or years behind us.
Unfortunately, failure doesn’t shout out its warnings. This is why we have to develop our own early warning system so that we make better choices and take the small daily steps towards ‘success’. We need to take time to ponder the future so we don’t get so caught up in the current moment that we make the wrong choices. The problems and the rewards of today are so absorbing to some people that they never pause long enough to think about tomorrow.
As a school community, we try to have our students set goals each week or each day, but also ensure we share and celebrate this goal. Rarely can we achieve progress or make a significant step forward alone – we do almost everything in the context of others. Goal-setting that is intrinsic to its mutual obligation is a worthy exercise that we ask of our students and all in our wonderful school community.
Middle Campus Assemblies
We are increasing the frequencies of our Assemblies during the Thursday pastoral lesson this term. This will provide an ongoing, formal opportunity to acknowledge student achievement and success. At times some students can be reluctant to share or pass on their success and celebrations that occur outside of school. If any achievements do occur outside of school, we encourage families to please contact the school so we can assure we share and celebrate these successes together.
Cross Country Carnival
Thank you to all students for their outstanding participation at our St Aloysius Catholic College Cross Country Carnival last week. Whilst conditions were wet underfoot, we were enormously proud of the attitudes and endeavours of the students who participated and how they decided to show up. In any race, someone will come first and someone will come last, yet it is our effort that determines if we are winners. To see such a large number of students participating and striving for their personal best was impressive. Well done to all students for their resilience and persistence in challenging themselves at the Cross Country.
National Reconciliation Week
To acknowledge and recognise National Reconciliation Week, we will be holding an Assembly at 9.40am on Thursday 30th May in the Middle Campus Gym. Our thanks to Mrs Anne McWatters for her coordination and leadership with this Assembly.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club is a wonderful way to start each Friday at the Middle Campus. This involves a free breakfast, but more importantly creates a community of students who socialise and interact together in starting the school day on a positive note. Breakfast Club runs each Friday from 8.00-8.20am outside the Canteen.
Thank you to Mr Leach and the team for providing this each Friday.
Mr Clynton Scharvi – Deputy Principal: Middle Campus
Welcome back to Term 2 at the Senior Campus. I would like to congratulate our senior students on how they have settled into the new term and met the new standards and procedures that have been put in place. It has already been a busy 3 weeks, with a lot going on so far, and a lot still to come over the coming weeks.
ANZAC Day
During the holidays, some of our Senior Leaders attended the Kingston Beach Dawn Service. Despite some chilly conditions, it was great to see so many of our students pay respects to our past and current serving members of the Armed Forces. I would like to congratulate those who attended on the fine way in which they represented our College.
Cross Country
Last Thursday, our senior students went down to the Middle Campus to participate in the College Cross Country. We had typical Cross Country weather with it being rainy and cold. There were some amazing individual performances by our students. I would like to particularly thank Simone Skinner and the HPE team for setting up and running the day.
St James Visit
On Tuesday, 14th May, the Senior Campus played host to St James College Cygnet. The Year 10 students had the opportunity to tour both the Senior and Middle Campus and hear from Principal, Mr Paul Reidy and Year 11/12 Coordinator and Careers Advisor, Mrs Marcelle Ottaway about the opportunities that are on offer in Year 11 and 12 at St Aloysius Catholic College.
University of Tasmania Symposium
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the University of Tasmania Symposium. I was able to gain insight into the opportunities and courses that the University of Tasmania has to offer our students beyond Year 12. This gave me some great insights as to what is on offer at our local university for our students if they wish to remain in the state to follow a university pathway.
University Information Evening
On Tuesday 7th May, the Senior Campus held its University Information Evening run by Mrs Marcelle Ottaway. This was a great opportunity for those students who are looking at a university pathway to get more information and look at the opportunities that the University can provide for future careers and pathways. Thank you to Marcelle for organising the evening and continuing to help our senior students in planning their pathways.
Year 11/12 Subject Information Evening
On Tuesday, 28th May, the Senior Campus will be holding its Senior Secondary Information Night. I encourage all students to attend this evening to gain insights about the possible pathways open to them in College and beyond. Whether or not students are planning on staying here at St Aloysius for Years 11 and 12, it is a great opportunity to speak to expert teachers in their areas about the opportunities that are open to them. The evening will run from 5-8 pm and I look forward to seeing our students and their families there.
Sleep
It has come to our attention that some students are coming to school with a lack of the proper amount of sleep. Some students have relayed to us that they are often up very late at night or in the middle of the night, on phones, iPads and playing games. The importance of sleep for adolescents is critical for their development both physically and mentally. Teenagers should be getting between 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Information from ‘Better Health’ suggests that.
Regularly not getting enough sleep leads to chronic sleep deprivation. This can have dramatic effects on a teenager’s life, impacting their mental well-being, and increasing their risk of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. It can also affect academic performance at school.
I have provided some useful links below about the importance of sleep and the side effects of sleep deprivation.

- Ed was loving sitting on the police motor bike.
- Oli was picked to demonstrate injuries that are common with car crashes and was dressed up to see how disabling it can be post accident and surgery

- Talia was eating donuts (which she enjoyed immensely)
- Raf had beer goggles on and was trying to throw bean bags into a corn hole
- Angelica was 'walking the line' with beer goggles on (not very successfully)
- Bella and the crew were enjoying some screen painting and having their photo taken in the photo booths, where they were encouraged to dress in yellow which is helping build awareness of National Road Safety week
Year 11 Outdoor Education Camp
On Tuesday, 30th April our Year 11 Outdoor Education students embarked on a 17 kilometre trek from Waterfall Bay to Fortescue Bay. After a restful night's sleep at Port Arthur students tackled 15 metres of rock face at the beautiful Sandriver Road, Buckland. Students were exceptional in what was an action packed 36 hours!
Kinder Bush Program Launches with an ‘On Country’ Experience
After being very successful in previous years, we are excited to re-commence our Bush Kinder program. We aim to visit nearby Boronia Beach regularly throughout the year from now on.
The first walk each year is led by a First Nations guide. We are thrilled that our Kinder 2024 classes are being taught by local Aboriginal sharer of culture and knowledge, Mr Corey Mundy, who is also a parent at the College. Thank you Corey for helping our youngest students be introduced to the Aboriginal concept of Country from an Aboriginal perspective, including traditional knowledge of plant foods and animals.

Staff Formation for Mission Day
On the last day of term 1, all College staff attended a Formation for Mission Day, ‘Growing in Faith at St Aloysius Catholic College’ led by the College Faith and Mission team. The aim of this day was to deepen their understanding of Catholic Education, the Catholic faith, and look at ways of supporting ourselves and others on our spiritual journey. Staff enjoyed bonding time together, informative presentations from a range of guest speakers, and the experience of various forms of prayer with the day culminating in a Mass led by Fr Mike.
Year 7 Chapel Inductions
Year 7 have been familiarising themselves with the features of a Catholic church with Chapel inductions by our Parish Associate Maggie Sandric. This included an in depth look at our beautiful stained-glass windows which were designed for the College by local artist Merida Young of Tudor Rose Glassworks, Kingston.
Mothers’ Day
We’ve had a fabulous time celebrating mums, grandmothers and special women in our lives in the run up to Mothers’ Day. At our Wednesday Mass with the Parish, the Junior Campus students said special prayers and sang beautiful hymns dedicated to mums and also Mary the Mother of Jesus, the month of May being dedicated to her in our Catholic tradition.
The Mothers’ Day stall was a huge success with 1380 gifts sold! Thank you from (and for!!!) Renee Fitzpatrick (Mothers’ Day Stall coordinator) and all the P&F volunteers who assisted with the day. Feedback from the volunteers was that our students were respectful, polite and thoughtful in their gift choosing! The main goal of the Mothers’ Day stall is not to generate P&F funds but to foster community spirit and seeing the students’ faces as they pick out a gift for their special person certainly makes all the preparation worthwhile. This year the stall had an extra focus on sustainability and local providers. If you have any Mothers’ or Fathers’ Day gift ideas please get in touch with us – sacc.pandf@catholic.tas.edu.au
The rain and fog couldn’t keep families away from the Mothers’ Day barbecue and it was wonderful to see families from all campuses bring mums, grandmas, aunties and friends along to celebrate with an egg and bacon roll. Again, the focus was on local providers and we thank Kingston Town Quality Butchery, Cripps Bakery, Hill Street, Abel Pakk eco-friendly cups, and Sun Valley eggs for their provisions.
Life to the Full Conference
On 26th April, a group of students from our College and Parish community journeyed up to Camp Clayton in Ulverstone for the Life to the Full Conference that was held by the Archdiocese of Hobart and Sisters of Life from New York. We were joined by high school students from all over Tasmania and attended workshops and activities led by the Sisters of Life, Fr Warren from the Huon Valley and the Melbourne Youth Mission Team. The weekend was an opportunity for the students to explore their faith but also learn that they are loved, that no one is a mistake and that they are unique and special. St Aloysius students Simon and Laura MacFarlane, Connor Brough and Jakub Seiler-Bartos also were a part of the band for the conference and did an amazing job at performing for the conference and sharing their wonderful gifts. The three day conference was enjoyed by all in attendance and we look forward to our College and Parish students getting more opportunities like this to attend such joy giving conferences.
ANZAC Day
Thanks to all those who attended the Kingston Beach Dawn Service in their College attire showing our support as a College as we remember the service and sacrifice of all Australians in wars, conflicts and peace operations. Each year, for those families who would like to join us, we meet at the Junior Campus at 6:00am to walk down to the service together as a group. This year, Senior Campus student leaders Angelica, Bella and Simon laid a bunch of flowers on behalf of the College.

National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week is fast approaching and the College community is ready to commemorate at each Campus. National Reconciliation Week occurs each year between 27th May - 3rd June. These bookend dates mark the anniversary of the 1967 Referendum and Mabo Day. Reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians. This year’s theme is: ‘Now More Than Ever’.
Students and staff at St Aloysius Catholic College will have the opportunity to demonstrate their interest and commitment to the ongoing journey of reconciliation, by participating in the creation of a ‘SEA OF HANDS’. Dates are noted on the poster. Students at our Junior Campus are invited to wear free dress on Friday, 31st May. We encourage children to wear clothes that either reflect the colours of the Aboriginal flag or ‘earthy’ colours such as green, brown, blue, white, grey, pink or purple. No gold coin donation is required.
Students, parents and guardians wanting to know more about Reconciliation are encouraged to visit Reconciliation Australia’s website for more information:
https://www.reconciliation.org.au/reconciliation/what-is-reconciliation/
Senior Drama Improvised Performances
The Senior Drama class have been working on their Group Devised scenes that they presented to students at the Middle Campus in week 2. Each group chose a phrase, brainstormed, and then developed their own interpretation.
The three scenes were:
All Glitters is not Gold
We've Always Done it this Way
A Fate Worse than Death
Year 9/10 Visual Art Students travel to see Artrage
At the beginning of week 3, our Year 9 and 10 Visual Art students travelled to the 2024 Artrage exhibition that is currently housed at the Long Gallery in the Salamanca Arts Centre. ArtRage is QVMAG’s annual exhibition showcasing the work of Tasmanian secondary students. The selected works are produced by Year 11 and 12 students studying Art Production or Art Studio Practice as part of their Tasmanian Certificate of Education.
This visit showcased what exciting opportunities are involved for the students who decide to pursue studies in Visual Art 3 and Art Studio Practice in Year 11 and 12 at St Aloysius. Students saw examples of quality journals, written artist statements and entire bodies of work. Thank you to Dave Griffiths for ensuring the students were safely back at school and also to Allison Jones who made the excursion possible!
Past Art/Ceramic students from St Aloysius had artwork selected for ArtRage and HoCo exhibition
We are proud to extend our congratulations to two of our past students from St Aloysius who were selected for Art Exhibitions at Salamanca Arts Centre.
Eadie Wood who attended St Aloysius Catholic College up until Yr 10 and then went on to complete Yr 11&12 at GYC. Her work was selected for ArtRage, a Yr 11&12 exhibition celebrating creativity within Tasmania. An important platform for students studying art as part of their Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE),
Mace Bradley who attended St Aloysius Catholic College up until Yr 10 and then went on to complete Yr 11 and who is now studying Yr 12 at Hobart College. Hobart College’s class of 2023 is holding an exhibition in Sidespace alongside ArtRage at Salamanca Art centre. Every year art students from across the state work hundreds of hours to produce art as part of their course, left unseen except by peers and teachers.HoCo Now aims to bring the astonishing talent and diligence of Hobart College visual art students into public, showcasing the skills and vision of our 2023 cohort across ceramics, photography, painting, drawing and everything in between.
College Cross Country Carnival
One of the main highlights of the Cross Country Carnival was the way in which the students embraced the challenge of running long distances. Despite the physical demand of the event, students pushed themselves to do their best. The support and encouragement shown by their peers and teachers played a significant role in motivating them to keep going, even when they felt tired.
