From the Senior Campus

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,

St Aloysius is a very busy school, students are constantly on the move, between classes, between campuses and from one extra-curricular activity to another. In all this ”business” there are instances which ask us to question the sense of responsibility and accountability of all members of the school community. 

In response to this need, in term two, the Student Representative Council consulted their peers on both the middle campus and senior campus asking them what a safe school looked like? Students were also consulted on what they would expect to receive at St Aloysius Catholic College and what would be expected of them. 

The perspectives of all students were taken into consideration. The Guidelines which the Student Representative Council have put together we hope will make all rules relevant, fair and clearly understood by the entire student body and indeed staff and parents too. The next step in the process of the development of these guidelines will be a presentation to the College Executive and the Parents and Friends Association. We, as a community, are hoping that this consultation and collaboration will build a deeper trust between all stakeholders, create a respectful environment and an arena where students, parents and teachers can voice concerns, grievances and suggest improvements which will ultimately lead to an even more positive school culture. 

Mr Seamus Toman – Deputy Principal: Senior Campus

Year 9-10 Life Science – Brains

This term, Ms Demir's two grade 9/10 Life Science elective classes, have been studying the human brain to identify regions and their functions. Life size models of the brains were made out of marshmallow and students painted and labelled the four lobes in each hemisphere.
One special pink brain was made specifically for some of the braver students to eat and sample!

Year 11-12 Retreat

We were delighted to welcome Luke and Laura to Tasmania for our first ever Seniors Retreat with the Passionist Youth Retreat Team. Using the theme of masks, we explored how to be ourselves and be there for others. Amidst the games, dancing and hanging out, there were many opportunities for deep questions, growth and reflection, and as someone said, “I had no idea we were so deep!”

Two highlights were the deeply moving ‘string liturgy’ encouraging thanks, apologies and acknowledgment of others; and the affirmations sheets which were read after Mass as part of a final reflection. They made us cry!

We loved having the Passionists come and work with us and we feel much stronger now as a group of senior students. I wish we had done this earlier!
