Dear Members of the Loyola College Community,

Over the last fortnight the College has been very busy with many events and activities that have highlighted the many talents of our students and staff. I am delighted to be able to share these special moments with you in this newsletter.

VCAL 2017 Achievement Awards Last week Mrs Hartigan, VCAL coordinator and myself attended the VCAL Achievement Awards at Deakin Edge, Federation square where one of our VCAL students from 2017 received the VCAL Student Achievement Award School-based Apprentice trainee. We congratulate Liam Gray (L: 12-17) for receiving this award.

Mother’s Day Breakfast The mother and daughter breakfast was fully booked for Tuesday of this week. The day commenced with a breakfast and a presentation from a guest speaker. This year we invited Professor Robin Anderson who is from the Olivia Newton John Wellness Centre. She spoke of her work as a leading expert in genetics for the treatment of breast cancer and the importance of all women taking care of their health. This was followed by prayer in the St Ignatius Chapel lead by Fr Gerry Healy SJ. My thanks to our Canteen Manager, Mrs Pritchard and her staff, Mrs Chapman and Ms Gartland, our VET hospitality students and Mr Lynch for preparing the prayer service and other staff who assisted with activities and to Mrs Alonso and Ms Devlin for organising various aspects of the morning.

NAPLAN Next week our students in Years 7 and 9 will sit the annual NAPLAN tests in literacy and numeracy. This is a major event organisationally and requires much pre planning so that the testing process can run smoothly. The student results data generated by these tests will assist the College in continuing to improve student learning outcomes in the future and will provide valuable information about the level of improvement in student literacy and numeracy skills in the College. The students have been encouraged to do their best in these assessments.

College Play Our College play ‘Check Please’ was held last Friday evening and was performed by the Year 11 Theatre students. It provided a wonderful evening of entertainment and I congratulate all the students involved together with their teachers Mr O’Keefe and Ms Tolli.

Working Bee The last Working Bee was held several week ago and I thank the many parents and students who attended helping to prepare the grounds for Open Day. I thank Mr Rigoni, LPFA Working Bee Coordinator, Mr Kelly, Head Gardener and our apprentice gardener Ms Ward for assisting on the afternoon. I thank all the parents and students for giving up their time to assist the College in this special and important way.

Open Day Last Sunday our Open Day was a great success with many families visiting the College. The beautiful autumn weather helped the grounds and facilities look their best and I thank all the staff who assisted in presenting the College in such a positive way. I thank Mrs Alonso and Mrs Devlin for overseeing the organisation of this important day when we promote all that we have to offer as a place of learning in the Ignatian tradition.

Languages and English week This week have celebrated the importance of Languages and English through a range of events and activities across the College. I thank Ms Bifano, Head of Languages and Mr O’Sullivan, Head of English and their respective Faculty members for overseeing the various activities.

School Review Three external reviewers spent four days at the College this week conducting their review of our programs. We look forward to seeing their final report which will guide out future planning in the College.

May, Month of Mary May is traditionally the month dedicated by the Church to Mary, our Blessed Mother. Through the gospels we come to know of Mary, of her love for God and of her desire to do His will in accepting to become the mother of Jesus our Saviour. She was a strong woman who had faith in what God wanted of her and she trusted in God, a perfect example of motherhood and the first of the disciples of Jesus.

As we celebrate Mothers’ day this coming Sunday let us give thanks for all mothers past and present for all that they have done to shape our lives. May all mothers seek to follow and be inspired by Mary’s example of service. She accompanied Jesus throughout His life right unto the cross. She was there in the happy times and in the very sad moments supporting her Son. We believe that she was there to see the Risen Lord and rejoice in God’s greatness.

St Ignatius had a very strong devotion to Mary, his own mother having died when he was a young boy; the Blessed Mother provided great comfort to him in times of difficulty in his life. He had great affection for her and prayed often for her intercession in doing God’s will. During this special month let us ask Mary as Ignatius did to intercede on behalf of all who find themselves in need of consolation asking her to help us to draw closer to our loving God following her example of trust and love of God.

A happy Mother Day to all mothers.

2017 VCAL Achievement Award Liam Gray, Year 12 2017, has been awarded a VCAL Achievement Award in the category of School Based Apprentice/Trainee.

Liam Gray Nomination Loyola College and Cummins South Pacific Pty Ltd (Cummins) would like to nominate Liam Gray for the VCAL Achievement Award in the category of VCAL School-based Apprentice/Trainee (SBAT). Liam is a well-mannered, hard- working and committed young man who has shown exemplary skills and achievement this year in working towards his SBAT at Cummins, Certificate III in Heavy Vehicle Commercial Mechanical Technology at Kangan Tafe and the Senior VCAL certificate at Loyola.

Liam commenced a work placement at Cummins in 2016 and based on the initiative and commitment he showed on placement and after an extensive interview process, he was offered a SBAT for 2017. In discussions with Cummins, they At work, Liam committed himself to meeting the high achievements worthy of nomination for the 2017 VCAL expectations Cummins have for their apprentices.

He has applied himself to all tasks, big or small, with enthusiasm and a thirst for knowledge.

As part of his SBAT, Liam commenced the Certificate III in Heavy Vehicle Commercial Mechanical Technology at Bendigo Kangan Institute early this year. His work ethic has been noted by his Tafe mentors and he has applied himself diligently.
