DOCTRINA VITAE
Volume 28 Number 11
Wednesday 29 April 2015
FROM THE
PRINCIPAL
I would like to congratulate all students who participated
in the 2015 Debutante Balls last week. I would also like to
congratulate students on the respect and interest they
have paid to Anzac Day, in this 100th Anniversary year and
thank the students from the Junior and Senior Schools
who represented Bacchus Marsh Grammar at the local
Bacchus Marsh RSL dawn service.
Over the past week we have been considering the
question of homework in holiday periods. It is my view
that holidays are a period for students to mentally refresh
themselves and also a time to be actively involved in those
things that are important components of any child’s
broader development. That said, there is a place for
limited and targeted work that introduces students to new
material or work that enables students to hit the ground
running when they return to class. One of the best
examples of this kind of work is the pre-reading of English
texts. If one is serious about text work, then a number of
readings of specific texts are required to have any real
hope of full understanding. The holiday period provides
an ideal time for that preliminary reading that gives a real
sense of the questions and issues the text is raising. I
would urge parents to continue to work to ensure that all
students are pre-reading English texts because of the
significant benefits it brings to understanding.

CAR PARK SAFETY
PATIENCE MEANS NO PATIENTS!
We thank parents for their ongoing patience in the Main Car
Park dropping off and collecting students each day.
YOUR PATIENCE WILL CERTAINLY HELP US PREVENT ANY
STUDENT PATIENTS! Please continue to drive with great care and
consideration, follow the directions of the crossing supervisor
and staff members on duty. Remember the drop off zone along
the footpath is a “kiss and go zone’ and absolutely a no
parking zone. You may not leave your vehicle parked
unattended.
Also please note that until the Hospitality Building is completed,
the Old Mine Road Entrance at Gate 1 onto South Maddingly
Road must not be used as an Exit. After “dropping off”or
“picking up students”, all traffic must exit the school via the
South East of Old Mine Road (Gate 3).

To help support our current VCE students, Student
Services are organising for a range of sessions to be held
to help support students through what can be a rather
busy and stressful time. The sessions will generally be held
each Friday at 12.55pm.
The first of the sessions was held last Wednesday on
‘Study Skills’ by Mr Ian Macdonald and this was followed
by a relaxation session held on Friday. This week on Friday
there will be a lunch time presentation in the lecture
theatre on ‘Time management’. This session will look at
practical strategies for students to foster good
organisational skills to best use their time.
During Term 2 the range of topics will cover Stress
Management, Sleep and Sleeping Difficulties and
Managing Difficult Emotions. These sessions will be
alternated by fortnightly relaxation sessions.
All students preparing to sit VCE examinations this year are
welcome to attend. These sessions will be advertised
through the daily bulletin and in the VCE Study Centre.
Students will be asked to register their interest in
attending the sessions on signup sheets located in the VCE
Study Centre.

The International College of Hotel Management (Adelaide)
The International College of Hotel Management (ICHM) and Swiss Hotel Association (SHA)
degrees are based on the philosophy that a commitment to excellence and the finest
education and training are essential for those people seeking the most sought after positions
in the highly competitive hospitality industry.
International College of Hotel Management (ICHM) students are taught about all aspects of
the international hospitality industry – from a basic operational perspective right through to
a senior managerial level within broader social, cultural and economic contexts. They are
then provided with real industry placements within Australia or overseas that allow them to
learn the industry first hand. This real world experience is invaluable in helping them
understand the theoretical concepts they have learnt within a working environment; it also
allows them to build significant industry networks. ICHM graduates are working globally as
supervisors and specialists right through to senior and general managers. A number also
work outside the industry is areas such as marketing, IT, human resources and their own
business’s.
Open to domestic and international students (who completed their last two years of high
school in Australia), International College of Hotel Management (ICHM) offers scholarships,
valued at $20,000, aimed at supporting, recognising and providing for outstanding students
who aim to become professionals in the growing hospitality and tourism industry.
More about scholarships and ICHM can be found at ICHM Scholarships 2016 and ICHM

Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Science Courses in Victoria
What is the difference between pharmacy and pharmaceutical science?
According the Monash University website, pharmacists are directly concerned with people's
health and wellbeing. They provide advice on the safe and effective use of medicine. They
are actively involved in patient care in hospitals and the community. As medicine experts,
they often also work in government, industry, research and clinical-trial roles.
For those students interested in science and healthcare, and who enjoy communicating with
people, then the Bachelor of Pharmacy is for them as this is the degree needed to become a
pharmacist.
In Victoria, the Bachelor of Pharmacy is offered at La Trobe University - La Trobe Pharmacy, Monash University - Monash - Pharmacy and RMIT University - RMIT Pharmacy
Pharmaceutical scientists are experts in the chemistry, biology and biotechnology required
to design and develop medicines. They play a key role in improving human health and
wellbeing by researching and developing reliable, accessible and effective treatments. They
understand the impact of medicines on the body and diseases. They are also experts in
bringing safe and effective products to market.
Students who enjoy solving problems, love chemistry or biology, and want to improve
human health, then a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science could be their calling as it equips
students to work in the pharmaceutical science and biomedical fields.
The Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science is offered at Monash University - Monash Pharmaceutical Science and RMIT University – RMIT - Pharmaceutical Science
