Term 2 Week 2 Page 1 College Newsletter Wednesday 20th April, 2016 From the Principal Dear Parents, Students and Friends of Good Shepherd Catholic College, Swimming Carnival I congratulate all students for their enthusiasm and conduct during Wednesday’s Inter-House Swimming Carnival. It was wonderful to see our students enjoying themselves poolside with their friends. Oh, and yes, there were some great performances in the pool too! Whole school events like the Swimming Carnival allow our culture and spirit to become Mr Wayne Wood College Principal obvious to our new students and parents. I thank Miss Dalla Vecchia and staff for organising the day. IN THIS ISSUE: Unfortunately there were a number of student absences on the day. The College has always From the Principal p1 been clear that days like these are important and every student is expected to attend. Please DP - Curriculum p3 do not give your child an easy way out just because “it isn’t their thing”. Here was a great AP - Admin/Pastoral p5 opportunity for parents to enlighten their child that “it is not always about me”. APRE p6 I remind parents that Good Shepherd is not a buffet where you get to choose what you want Year 12 Pastoral News p7 and leave the things you don’t like. In choosing to enrol in Good Shepherd you are choosing Music & Zonta Z News p8 the whole package. Yes, you will have to have a go at things that you may not like ‒ that’s a HPE p9 part of education!

ANZAC Day ‒ Please join us! This week our College Community will hold a special ANZAC Day ceremony in our Lumen Christi Centre. It is important that our young people are able to reflect on their connection with their wider community and with their history. ANZAC Day provides them with a wonderful opportunity to do so. We want them to realise that they are intrinsically connected to each other and that they have a responsibility to support their fellow citizens. This is what community living is about. Catholics, like most Christians, are people living in communion with each other. So while a personal belief in Jesus is essential, we also believe we are intrinsically connected with each other. Our faith cannot be an individual thing. We are therefore called to support each other. I strongly encourage all students to support the College in our attendance at the Dawn Service and/or the Public March. Details for the Dawn Service and Public March can be found below. God Bless NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 Page 3 College Newsletter Wednesday, 20 April 2016 From the Deputy Principal Curriculum Welcome back for Term 2. I hope that you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Easter Season with family and friends, and I trust that our students are refreshed and recharged ready for the new term. Parent-teacher-student Interviews Our first set of parent-teacher-student interviews will take place next Tuesday the 26th April beginning at 3:30pm.

It is after all the child that is at Mr Senan Keating the heart of all that we do as educators. We look forward to meeting with you on Tuesday Deputy Principal to discuss your child’s progress, efforts and behaviour. Curriculum We do request that students attend parent-teacher-student interviews.

The goal of these meetings is to develop action plans to support and enable your child to achieve their best.

For those students who are wishing to make any changes to their subject choices, these must be complete early next week to ensure they are not missing any crucial learning and teaching. After this point. Students will be required to remain in their current choices, and will be able to make changes for the start of Term 3.

With a range of visiting speakers, special events and public holidays, the term will fly by. There are a few matters that I need to discuss in this newsletter as they reflect some changes that you may be unaware of. Laptop Loans: The College is very pleased to have been able to lend students one of our College laptops when a student laptop has been broken, in order to allow time for their laptop to be repaired. However, as we have a pressing demand for “loan laptops”, the loan period will now be fixed to a period of five school days, which is sufficient time Mr John Harrop for the repairs to be made. This will provide the necessary window of opportunity to Acting Assistant Principal - Pastoral have the unit repaired under warranty, or, if the laptop has been damaged outside of the warranty provisions, replaced at the parent’s expense. As all students need the use IMPORTANT DATES of a laptop at Good Shepherd Catholic College, it is important that students have their laptop repaired or replaced before the end of the loan expiry period. If you have any queries, please feel free to get in touch with me. ANZAC DAY Locker locks: We have had a number of students fit personal locks to their College MONDAY 25TH APRIL lockers, instead of using the approved College locks. In several instances we have had to remove these with bolt cutters, or in the event the lock is hardened steel, call in the PARENT/TEACHER locksmith to open the locker. It is essential that only College locks are used, as INTERVIEWS TUESDAY 26TH APRIL students frequently lose their keys and the College is legally required to have access to all student lockers. Please be assured, only the College leadership Team and Pastoral LABOUR DAY Leaders have access to student lockers. MONDAY 2ND MAY Hairstyles: We are currently seeing a new hairstyle for boys becoming popular in town.
