he World of Maths Roadshow came to St John Paul II College to talk and demonstrate many areas of how science Tand maths integrate in everyday life. The roadshow consisted of 30 stations each specifically designed to solve a mathematical problem. Some of the exhibits asked students to calculate angles, work out surface area and volume and use measurements for specific questions. Each student had the opportunity to interact with the hands-on problems and were aided by the World of Maths facilitator and the Integrated Mathematics and Science teachers. After the interactive session, we held a small debrief to identify the answers of each station. Overall, the experience was very valuable and enjoyable.

The faith that our patron showed in those difficult years of his life is something we can only dream of having, but the courage he showed is a trait that we, as a community, want to continue to strive for. After his release, he was exiled from his home country, , and continued his faith journey in where he lived a simple life. The word we use in our House to describe our patron is courageous. His courage is an inspiration to our students and staff. Courage is the motto of Van Thuan. The Project Compassion initiative is one of Van Thuan’s proudest achievements and a generous act that we will never give up on. Over the past couple years we have raised an extraordinary amount of money for Caritas , but this year we out did ourselves, raising more money than the other houses. The generosity of our students is humbling and we are pleased to know that our donations will improve the lives of those less fortunate than us. Caritas’ Project Compassion is one thing that Van Thuan is proud to support and we commit to help make social changes that have a positive impact on others. The unity and camaraderie of Van Thuan House is due to the leadership and support of all our teachers. Faye Robertson has lead the house with passion and enthusiasm, and this year, was joined by Virginia McLeod, whose humour and honesty has had a positive impact on the House. We are fortunate to have an exceptional group of Pastoral Care tutors in Sharon Robinson, Rick Dodd, Allana Masterton, Brad Croker, Jeremaia Yanuyanutawa and Alagayson Segaran. Not to be forgotten is Elle Boller, our indigenous mentor, who recently took up the role of acting coordinator while Mrs Robertson is on maternity leave. The entire community was overjoyed by the arrival of the Robertson’s gorgeous baby girl, Ava Mae. 2017 has been a year of joy, growth, fulfilment and pride for our Van Thuan students and it will not stop – bring on 2018! Miss Boller recently won a national contest ‘A day made better – teaching award’ for 2017. She was one of 10 winners of 52,000 nominees. Elle has decided to share her gift of $6,000 worth of office equipment and stationery (courtesy Office Max) with an indigenous community in the Northern Territory.

26 27 In 2017, St John Paul II college students and staff participated in the 'Caritas' initiative. Early in the year, we not only welcomed new faces, but the JPC community was invited to consider their journey of faith and to renew the commitment to our relationship to God. Lent is often seen as a time of 'giving up' or going without: but Pope Francis reminds us that, "Lent is, by nature, a time of hope because it leads us to be born anew ‘of the spirit’, by the love of God." The season of Lent was certainly a time of hope at JPC, where, inspired by the theme of Project Compassion for 2017, the students and staff channeled their efforts to show love for our neighbour. Shrove Tuesday saw students from Drexel House supplying pancakes to the JPC community. This event began the start of the Lent season. The community were able to immerse themselves in the understanding that it is only when we start to learn about our 'neighbours' that we truly understand them during this time. The Students Leaders attended two leadership events which helped them build their knowledge about Caritas and Project Compassion during the first term of school. From these knowledge building activities, the student leaders encouraged active participation in their House for the major fundraising initiative for term 1. The school community was delighted to present a cheque for $3,871.95 to Mrs. Fiona Wilkinson from Caritas Australia. Nicola Edghill Caritas Organiser

Jean Vanier is the founder of L’Arche, which is a worldwide network of Christian communities where people with learning disabilities live as peers alongside assistants. Jean Vanier strived to break down the diving walls between people living with disabilities. This year, Vanier as a community created our motto Be True, Be Strong, Be faithful. This motto was created from what we believe Jean Vanier stood for. The feeling to be leaders of such an amazing house full of spirit and talent is overwhelming. Vanier House excelled in all 3 sporting carnivals in 2017, proving to be the most successful house physically. Vanier is so successful because of the individuals who make the house, each person bringing talent and enthusiasm. The Vanier motto is to ‘be true, be strong, be faithful’ and we believe this motto reflects Vanier house perfectly. Throughout the year we were impressed to see examples of students in Vanier living up to the motto. This was demonstrated through the multiple activities from PC in the mornings to making sure our locker area was tidy. We thank everyone who made Vanier the house it is and especially thank those in year 10 in Vanier who stepped up and gave us the support we needed to be the best leaders we could be. Vanier is an incredible house that we are both so proud of and proud to have been student leaders for 2017. We are looking forward to watching Vanier grow throughout the many years to come.

This year, the Indigenous group has engaged in many school events, within the classroom and throughout the community. We continued to participate in the AIME (Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience) Program, which involved us going to University of Canberra to share in a range of activities with our Mentors, who are uni students. We as an Indigenous group, hosted and attended many assemblies with other schools in our area, particularly celebrating NAIDOC Week. During this week, we had the Cambridge sisters’ aunty, Wendy Rix, come down from Brisbane to help us create wonderful artworks. One of most rewarding experiences this year was the development of the Reconciliation Relay which saw every House group run laps around the oval to raise money for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. From this, our school was one of three schools who were invited to watch a book reading by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation at the National Library. This experience allowed us to connect to younger Indigenous students from different mobs across the country. During Reconciliation Week, we also joined in with the Indigenous community of Canberra and walked over AACommonwealth Bridge to commemorate the Stolen Generations. Overall – it has been a successful year for us as we have all grown into a strong Indigenous family of the College Braith Hartfield and Lucy Cambridge Indigenous Students

Maathai Staff

David Boyle Crystal Hillier Owen Hamerton Cheryl Jones

Spread Designed by Montana Borjeson 66 67 angari Maathai was born in Nyeri, Kenya Win 1940. An excellent student, she used her love of learning to break into fields of study that had been previously closed to women. Her commitment to her education earned her opportunities to study in the USA where she gained two degrees in Science. In the late 1960s, Wangari returned to Africa where she earned a PHD – the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate degree. She was passionate about a grassroots approach to poverty reduction and environmental conservation, founding the Green Belt Movement in 1977. Wangari Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 8, 2004, for the countless seeds of hope she planted and grew over the years. She was the first African woman to receive the prize. Wangari died on 25 September, 2011, but her legacy lives on through the Green Belt Movement, and through the efforts of the students of Maathai House who are proud to call her our patron. This year, our House has continued to develop a strong sense of identity, embracing the College theme of unity in 2017. We have demonstrated our passion and willingness to be involved through a variety of different activities, at both a school-wide level and within the broader community. This can be most clearly seen through our fundraising campaign for Caritas Australia. Over the period of Lent, Maathai House raised a total of $841.75 for Project Compassion, our House charity. This money went towards supporting initiatives in vulnerable communities in remote parts of Australia, as well as , the Philippines, and Samoa. In addition to our charitable outreach, Maathai House continued a tradition of involvement and enthusiasm in all House endeavours. This enthusiastic spirit was particularly evident during the Swimming Carnival in Term 1, where Maathai cleaned up and won the coveted Spirit Cup. The award was well-contested, but in the end Maathai came out on top. We carried this momentum into the rest of our school competitions, and continued to perform at a high standard – the Maathai Standard. One way in which we demonstrated this standard was during Term 3’s Competition. At the conclusion of the group stages of the tournament, we found ourselves in first, successfully qualifying for the finals. Unfortunately, we were knocked out in the semis, but nonetheless, it was a valiant effort. This is an excellent example of the Maathai spirit. The students of Maathai house thank the dedicated staff who have given their time to the betterment of this wonderful house. We appreciate all of their contributions to the creation of a vibrant, thriving, Maathai Community.

In the end I used They say now you're in a better place elements from the album itself, too weird to live, to rare to die, and decided to make something out of the ordinary. I actually put a bigger Kaleidoscope on the background and And I would be too if I could see your face put a mask in it, that is what is causing the writing to look like smoke and the purple to look darker and even blue in some areas. I think the smoke in the writing really reflects on the original album.

You should be here, standing with your arm The line around me here A pretty picture but the scenery is so loud from the song caused me to pick the photo of a flower I took for the first assessment for the Kaleidoscope and with the coloured lines and a mask it ended like the way it was, i was also tying to make it look strange but nice at the same time.

I really enjoyed making this but i do have one regret and tht is not putting the artist, panic! at the disco, on the album. if i did this again i would of made the kalidoscope bigger and added patches or colour instead of lines. i would of also made the background white, and ad more colour on that, giving the album blobs of random colour.

I also got the idea ffrom the lines fro the album Belever from Imagine Dragons.

I also like the way that the title, Miss Jackson, has a sort of smoke affect because on the original album it had someone smoking rainbows (i really dont know how to discribe it) so i think that is another link to the original album.

St John Paul II College acts as an Award Unit, supporting student’s participation in this program. Apart of this is at times leading Adventurous Journeys by engaging participants in challenging experiences. On the 8th – 10th September 2017, ten Duke of Edinburgh participants from St John Paul II College embarked on an Adventurous Journey. The three days were spent hiking along the Coastal Trail, in the Royal National Park, along the east coast, South of Sydney. Our travels saw us use various modes of transport. To gain experience in this area, students took on the responsibility of trip planning, sourcing tickets and timetables to allow a smooth transition from Canberra to our campsite at Bundeena, on Port Hacking, South of Cronulla. We traveled by Murrays coach to Sydney’s Central station where we caught a train to Cronulla. A group of backpacking students travelling through the hustle and bustle, that is the underground Sydney train system, was quite a sight to see. Not to mention, the struggle of walking through the gates with large packs and fitting them onto the train. From Cronulla we took the ferry to Bundeena. Saturday was spent hiking the Coastal Trail from Bundeena to Wattamolla Beach, and returning home to Bundeena. The area is blessed with exceptional views of a rugged coastline, spectacular beaches, waterfalls, wind eroded rocks and cool stream and pools to rest beside.

Thirty-six dancers from Years 7-11 performed in the AusDance Dance Festival at the Canberra Theatre earlier this year. They were joined by high schools from all over the ACT. The 5 minute piece was choreographed by the senior dance class as their major assignment. The theme of this years performances was ‘Right Here, Right Now’. JPC’s piece followed the idea of self discovery titled ‘The Power of You’.

The experience was something that will be remembered for years to come. JPC was lucky enough to secure the closing performance on the opening night, a position that is highly sought after by all the teams!! It was a long day but it was worth it for the amount of fun we had. The JPC piece looked amazing on stage and all the dancers were really happy! Everybody who saw it was overwhelmed by its quality.

Being one of five siblings Isolina Ferre grew up in a wealthy home with a big family. As said by our inspiration “Work is not work, work is love”. Isolina Ferre worked hard to build charitable clinics, youth centers and educational and empowerment establishments. Her dream was to see people who were disadvantaged improve their social and economical status by studying and getting jobs.

Ferre House strive towards being a generous, kind and compassionate house. UNITY was the 2017 theme and Ferre House portrayed what it means to be united. Through every school event or carnival Ferre House worked together and were very supportive of one another. We as a house had an outstanding show of participation at our swimming, athletics carnivals and our cross country. In Term 3, Ferre House participated in the Futsal Competition. Our House showed great amounts of sportsmanship, teamwork, fair playing and a positive attitude.

St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal is Ferre’s house charity. The Christmas Appeal helps St Vincent De Paul Society to provide poor families with enough food over the Christmas period. Ferre House Students help raise awareness and encourage all other houses to help in being generous and giving. Our house worked very well together last year to organize the hampers for St Vincent De Paul and we are looking forward to doing the same for the end of 2017.

Ferre House have achieved great success over the four terms of this year. We have had an outstanding amount of participation. We as a house showed our success by learning and growing together. Through many events and carnivals, the students in Ferre House have become closer and grew to know each other better. We had many charity events which Ferre House generously donated to. For the Project Compassion Caritas initiative Ferre House took second place raising an outstanding amount of $720 dollars. The students in our House are blessed with many wonderful Ferre Teachers. We have ongoing support from our House Coordinators, Mrs. Walsh and Mrs. Tually.

Spread Designed by Montana Borjeson 126 127 hroughout 2017, Drexel House has witnessed a year of trial and triumph; there Thave been times of frustration and anxiety but the stories of success, community and friendship rise above everything else. In our house, students look up to St Katherine Drexel as a model of compassion and justice. She is someone who fought for the rights of the Black and Native American peoples, forsaking her wealth for the better good of the people in her society that were in need. In Drexel, we strive to follow in the footsteps of our patron who fought for the pursuit of justice and never backed down from doing what was right; we always try our best to do the right thing and encourage others to follow suit. The students of Drexel have been exceptionally great this year, always participating in every event the school has and trying their hardest to be the best. From winning house relays to raising a large sum of donations for Caritas, from helping each other run stalls on Feast Day to finishing as runner-up in the Inter House Futsal Competition, Drexel students have made us extremely proud. Throughout 2017, we have seen Drexel House progress and evolve into the house it is now — one that is respectful and friendly, caring and kind — with all students looking out for each other to make sure everyone is alright. To be in Drexel is to be part of a slightly dysfunctional family that cares deeply for each member, one where all can feel welcome. Thank you to all of Drexel for making this year a memorable one.
