STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS
I am very proud to share with the St. Francis Xavier College community news on the
achievements of several of our students in their chosen pursuits:
•
I had the honour of attending a function at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image
(Federation Square, Melbourne) to see Nicholas Owens (Year 10 TPE), receive an
award for his participation in the Hothouse Program 2014. Nicholas was one of only
ten students chosen from schools across the State to take part in the program, one
of the highlights of which was working with artists from Dreamworks USA. Nicholas
created the characters and worked as a team of five to produce a short animated film.
•
During the recent break, two of our Berwick students competed in the National
Rollerskating Championships in Brisbane. Charlie Voudouris (Year 8 ESU) and
Nicole Slovak (Year 8 KDY) took out first place in Cadet and first place in the Open
competition.
•
Dayna Crees (Year 8 JRI) competed last Thursday in the Victorian Cross Country
Championships and was placed first in her division. A great achievement by a very
dedicated young woman.
ALL SHOOK UP- 2014 MUSICAL PRODUCTION
After many weeks of auditions and rehearsals, the cast and crew of our annual musical
production will present to us All Shook Up this evening, Friday and Saturday nights. I
have seen parts of the show in rehearsals during the recent holiday period and was
greatly impressed by the talent of the student performers.
MOODLE FOR PARENTS
A new initiative to assist parents remain updated and involved in the education of their
children at St. Francis Xavier College is Moodle For Parents, please see page 3. I refer
you to the College website: www.sfx.vic.edu.au and the Moodle link. I believe you will
find this very helpful. Your children and their teachers make great use of this facility. Why
not give it a try!

BYOD 2015
The Bring Your Own Device programme is to be extended from the commencement
of 2015. Every student in each Year Level must have some technological device
to assist them in their learning. In offering approximately eight months notice, I am
allowing parents ample time to consider which device they will purchase for their
child, if they have not done so already.
To further assist in this process, the College Director of Innovation Mr Michael
Torsello, is available to advise parents ([email protected] or 9707 3111).
The College Business Manager is planning a second BYOD Expo later this year,
similar to the very successful Expo attended by technology firms in March. More
details regarding the programme will be sent home to parents in the weeks to come.
ST CLARE’S PRIMARY SCHOOL, OFFICER –

Mr Malcolm Joseph – Deputy Principal Mission
YEAR 11 RETREATS
One of the main aims of the Year 11 Retreat is to encourage each student to respond to others as persons, to
reach out to others in friendship and to work at building a community based on the message of Jesus. From a
logical perspective, doing things for others makes us focus on the positive attributes of self and others. This in
turn is likely to give us a positive outlook on other aspects of our lives.
It is within this context that the concept of Christian leadership is examined through a variety of activities. After
discussing different leadership styles and the attributes of leaders, the focus becomes Jesus as a model leader.
The emphasis then shifts to the practical application of the concepts of inclusion, service, empowerment, justice,
etc in their daily lives, particularly as they enter the period of nominating and electing student leaders for 2015.
The feedback from former students and the extract from the book A Canopy of Stars by Christopher Gleeson,
SJ may be helpful for those who are a little concerned about this new experience.
POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS
• I feel that this was a great break away from home, school, TV, my phone, facebook, etc. I feel refreshed.
• The retreat was fun; it was good to relax away from my VCE studies. It has made me feel prepared, ready
and excited about Semester 2.
• It was helpful because it made me understand others better and to see how things affect people.
To hope is to risk despair
to try is to risk failure.
but risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing.
This person can avoid suffering and sorrow,
but cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or really live.
He is chained by his certitude.
He is a slave. He has forfeited freedom.
A person who risks is free. (Christopher Gleeson, SJ)
EDROLO FOR STUDENTS
On Monday July 2, VCE teachers and Curriculum Leaders attended a presentation on Edrolo. I have received a
great deal of positive feedback from colleagues, so I thought I would share this with you. The following information
has been provided by Edrolo. To see if the program meets their needs, students will have free access for two
weeks. In the next few days, students who are studying VCE Units 3 & 4 will come home with more information.
•
Edrolo provides comprehensive and up-to-date online video lectures that students can use to learn and
revise all VCE content for exams. Edrolo has detailed explanations of all that students need to know along
with step-by-step worked examples from past exams, all presented by some of Australia’s best teachers.
Edrolo is the new study-buddy, helping students learn during the Semester and to revise before exams.
•
Access via PC, tablet or mobile to any subject means unlimited and ongoing access to all the material for
that subject – anywhere, any time!
•
Interactive quizzes help keep students on track and give feedback on learning.
•
The materials can be used to supplement learning (in and out of the classroom) throughout the year, and as
a revision tool closer to exams. Edrolo is useful for clarifying material covered in class, or even to engage
with content before class so students can come prepared.

White Ribbon’s Breaking the Silence in Schools Program
St. Francis Xavier College has established a commitment to the prevention of violence against women by
supporting White Ribbon and participating in the Breaking the Silence in Schools Program.
Please read the information provided by White Ribbon below.
What is White Ribbon?
White Ribbon is Australia’s only national, male led campaign to end men’s violence against women.
The campaign works through primary prevention initiatives involving awareness raising and
education, and programs with youth, schools, workplaces and across the broader community.
Globally, White Ribbon is the world’s largest male-led movement to end men’s violence against
women. Originating in Canada in 1991, White Ribbon is now active in more than 60 countries.
White Ribbon began in Australia in 2003 as part of UNIFEM (now UN Women), formally becoming
a Foundation in 2007.
White Ribbon Australia observes the International Day of the Elimination of Violence against Women,
also known as White Ribbon Day, annually on November 25. But the campaign runs all year and is
evident across the community through, for example, advertising and marketing campaigns such as
Uncover Secrets, social media, community events and White Ribbon Night in July. Friday 25 July
is White Ribbon Night! Join communities across Australia to unite in support of bringing an end to
violence against women.
About the White Ribbon Breaking the Silence in Schools Program
Breaking the Silence in Schools Program is White Ribbon’s unique primary prevention program
driving attitudinal and behavioural change in youth (8-18 years) to prevent the perpetration of men’s
violence against women and girls. White Ribbon provides the scaffolding and platform to embed
sustainable culture change in school communities, strategies to introduce and embed violence
prevention activities into schools.
We all like to think that our family, friends, neighbours and ourselves are safe at home. Most of us
would believe this to be a basic human right but sadly, for many, this is not always the case. On
average, one woman is killed every week by a current or former partner in Australia. And one in four
young Australians are exposed to domestic violence.
We are still in the initial phase of learning about the program and look forward to sharing more information in the
lead up to White Ribbon Day on November 25. To find out more please visit www.whiteribbon.org.au

accounts it was a successful evening. Year 12s are reminded that prepaid photograph orders will be delivered
to the College on Monday July 28.
YEAR 11 2015 STUDIES INFORMATION EVENING
Thank you to all Year 10 students and their parents for their attendance at the Year 11 2015 Studies Information
Evening. Students should now be reflecting on their Semester 1 Report and using the information gathered on
the evening to make informed decisions about their academic pathway next year. Students are reminded to visit
the Careers Office should they require additional information. The deadline for subject selection forms is
August 8. Thank you to all staff for their contributions.

DIRECTOR OF LEARNING/VCE - SENIOR SCHOOL
Mrs Mary Bourke
We are now four weeks into Semester 2 and the academic challenges for all students are becoming greater in
number and more complex. While each new topic will require a degree of ‘rote learning’, many more learning
activities demand deeper understanding and the ability to apply, discuss and evaluate concepts in unfamiliar
situations.
Students and parents are encouraged to regularly refer to the Semester 1 Reports and to reflect on the ‘Areas
for Improvement’ identified by the subject teachers. To make progress as a learner, and to be ready for 2015,
attention to these strategies must be the student’s priority now.
Year 12 students and Year 11 students enrolled in Unit 3/4 units will be completing SACs each week and those
enrolled in Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Technology subjects are working towards their final ‘production’.
Students enrolled in LOTE subjects are preparing for their oral examinations.
Aiming to achieve the best results possible means spending more time on homework and study each night and
over the weekend. How much time? This depends on the student, the subject, knowledge already accrued and
the result desired.
PLANNING FOR 2015
Thank you to the many families who attended the Year 11 2015 Information Night last week. The excellent
SUBJECT EXPO in the HALL provided a wealth of information about the many VCE Subjects we offer that will
support a student’s passion, talent and ideas for a future career pathway.
Parents and students are reminded of the importance of spending time planning the two year VCE program
and the need to access the 2015 Subject Selection Handbook on moodle: http://lms.sfx.vic.edu.au/course/view.
php?id=934 (see the Year 10_VCE_Info section)
This resource is also most important for students intending to apply for a position in the VCAL course.
It is imperative that students do not rush this process, therefore the on line web preferences site will not close
until Friday August 8 at 4.00pm
Year 12 2015 Applications – Students enrolling in VCE have received their Access Codes to the website with
relevant information about ‘special application procedures’. They must also adhere to the deadline of Friday
August 8.
Year 11 VCAL students do not need to make any further applications for 2015 at this stage.
Any questions about the 2015 enrolment process may be addressed to:

FROM THE BERWICK CAMPUS
Ms Joanne Rock – Deputy Principal, Head of Campus
WELCOME BACK!
I want to welcome everyone back to the Berwick Campus after what I trust was a relaxing break from the rigors
of school for a little while. Everyone has settled in well and gotten back into the swing of school nice and quickly.
As students received their reports on the last day of Term 2, my hope is that your child/children have been able
to sit and discuss with you their Semester 1 reports, and that you have been able to offer praise where praise
is due, and some constructive advice where improvement is necessary. As the new Semester begins, please
impress on your child/children the need for being organised, the completion of all work by the due date, and the
importance of a ‘do your best’ attitude. It is truly amazing what one can achieve when committing to these three
work habits.
House Co-ordinators will be contacting parents about students whose results were disappointing. It is hoped
strategies can be put in place to see what school and home can do to support these students and help them to
improve. If you have any queries or concerns about your child’s report, please contact their Care Group teacher
or Subject teacher to discuss them. Semester 2 can be a fresh start with new goals and possibilities.
CORRECT PROCESS FOR REPORTING STUDENT ABSENCES
It is fantastic how diligent many parents are in terms of ringing the College to inform us that your child is unable to
attend school because of illness. However, I need to remind parents that this phone call must be followed up with
a signed note explaining the absence for the Care Group teacher. This note is then filed by the office and kept
as an official document. This requirement for a signed letter explaining your child’s absence is a government
requirement and needs to follow your courtesy phone call. At the back of the Student Diary are a number of
absence slips that can be filled in, signed and cut out to give to the Care Group Teacher. Thank you for your cooperation and support with this.
BUS PASSES AND APPROPRIATE BUS BEHAVIOUR
There has been a significant improvement in the number of students carrying their bus passes with them this
year. The College conducts daily bus pass checks and it is obvious that the vast majority of our students are
carrying their passes and catching their allocated buses. Students are regularly reminded at morning Care
Group to have their bus passes with them. If a student has forgotten their pass, they can speak with office staff
at recess or lunchtime to receive a temporary pass for that day only. Students are aware that bus passes will not
be processed after 2.00pm. Also, please be aware that we no longer issue casual bus passes for students to
travel on different buses because of after school commitments as our buses are at capacity.
Can I take this opportunity to remind you that all students (and parents) using our College buses have signed a
Code of Conduct contract with regard to expected appropriate and safe behaviour on our bus service. Should
students not abide by the set of expected behaviours, they risk a two week suspension from using the bus. There
have been numerous reminders to students via the Daily Bulletin, and again, I ask parents to discuss these
expectations with regard to appropriate behaviour while travelling on buses. Not to mention the impact a two
week suspension would have on parents and family.
WATERPROOF RAINCOATS AVAILABLE AT THE UNIFORM SHOP
We are well into our winter period, and this year we have seen an increase in the number of wet days we are
experiencing. The College has a school approved raincoat that can be purchased at the uniform shop for $45.
It is the only raincoat that is to be worn with our College uniform. I have been informed that there are plenty in
stock in a variety of sizes. It is a smart and effective accessory to the winter uniform and well worth considering
as an additional uniform item.

YEAR 10 2015 SUBJECT SELECTIONS
Thank you to parents and students who attended the Year 10 and VCE Information Evening. It was great to
see so many taking the opportunity to ask valuable questions. No doubt you will have many more questions as
you go through the subject selection process. Many of these questions may be answered by reading through
the VCE Subject Handbook that has been uploaded to Moodle. Care Group teachers have given the following
instructions to Year 9 students:
•
Year 10 and VCE Information has been added to your home page on Moodle.
•
Open the 2015 - Subject Selection Information file.
•
Open the 2015 VCE Subject Handbook pdf for subject pathway information and subject descriptions.
•
Complete the Performing Arts Year 10 Unit 1 application on Moodle if you want to do Music or Drama.
•
You may apply for a VET course in Year 10, but not VCAL.
•
If applying for a VET course, complete the VCE VET application form on Moodle.
•
All selections must be completed on Web Preferences by Friday August 8. Hard copies must also
be signed by you, your parent and Care Group teacher. Return signed hard copies of subject selections
and applications (if applicable) to your Care Group teacher.
•
You may apply for one VCE study. If you apply for a VCE study, you will receive a separate VCE
application form during the week commencing Monday August 11. Refer to the Accelerated Studies
Application Process doc (see slide 2).
All Year 9 students have been
given a code and password to
enter their subject selections on
Web Preferences.

OUTWARD BOUND
Mr Peter Robinson – Outward Bound Co-ordinator
Year 9 Outward Bound 2014 – Berwick Campus
Preparation for the expedition continues.
Last week Year 9 Students attended an information
session about Outward Bound. Stephen Hodges from
Outward Bound Australia spoke to Students about
the aims of Outward Bound and outlined the program
for the 9 day expedition as well as giving advice on
suitable clothing and preparation for the expedition.
The clothing list will be distributed to parents at the
Parent Information Evening to be held on July 31.
This list is also available now on the Outward Bound
Moodle page. It is essential that students bring all of
the items on the clothing list. However, you should
not have to spend large sums of money outfitting
your child. Most of the items required can be found at
home – perhaps in the rag bag.
Aussie Disposals Stores offer discounts to St. Francis
Xavier College Students. A discount booklet is
available from Reception at the Berwick Campus.
Everything in this booklet is suitable for Outward
Bound.
Outsports in Moorabbin (Telephone 9532 5337) has
suitable coats for hire from approximately $22.00 and
overpants from $15.00. Outsports will deliver to your
home for a small charge or they can be collected and
returned to the shop.
Each Outward Bound Group will meet in the
weeks leading up to the expedition as part of their
preparation.
One area that students can work on by themselves or
with their friends is physical fitness. Some preparation
prior to the expedition will make the experience more
enjoyable. Students should take time to walk a several
kilometres in the shoes or boots they intend to wear
on Outward Bound several times per week over the
next 6 weeks, gradually increasing the distance as they
build up their fitness. This will be even more beneficial
if they carry some weight in a pack or their school
bag while walking. Students can access a written
fitness training programme for Outward Bound on the
Outward Bound Moodle Page.
More information will appear in the Newsletter in the
weeks leading up to the expedition – including travel
arrangements and emergency contact information.
There is also information about Outward Bound
on the Outward Bound “Moodle Page”, including
photographs from the past four years.
In the meantime if you have any questions about any
aspect of Outward Bound please do not hesitate to
contact me at the Beaconsfield Campus on 9707 3111.

FROM THE OFFICER CAMPUS
Mrs Margaret Blythman – Deputy Principal, Head of Campus
WELCOME BACK TO SEMESTER TWO.
I hope all our families and students enjoyed the winter break and
managed to stay warm! A very special welcome to our new students
– we hope that you enjoy your time at the Officer Campus.
REPORTS
We hope you were happy with the results of your child’s School Report. The students’ results were generally
very pleasing and it was a pleasure to read the comments that teachers had written about the young men and
women in their care.
At this stage of the new Term, students are very busy completing a range of tasks and for our Year 9 students,
preparing for and undertaking Year 10 subject selection. Our teachers are always very happy to provide advice
and support in these areas to our students. I encourage parents to set aside quiet time to support your child/
children in reflecting upon their learning over this Semester, including his/her review of what went well and thus
is to be celebrated and what didn’t work and thus where change is needed. Ultimately, what we ask of each
student is that he or she is working to achieve the best of their ability. Please do not hesitate to meet with your
child’s teachers during the Term if you ever have any concerns. It is always important to sort issues out quickly.
PARKING AROUND THE CAMPUS
A reminder to Officer parents that there are new parking restrictions on the road around the
Campus.
P5 Minute - allows parking for up to 5 minutes at the specified times of 8.30am-9.00am
and 3.15-3.45pm on School Days. Council Officers have and will continue to enforce these
restrictions.
Please remember not to park on the grassy verge or across driveways. Thank you for your
co-operation.
OPENING NIGHT
The College Musical, ‘All Shook Up’ will have
Opening Night on Thursday July 24 at the Cardinia
Cultural Centre in Pakenham.
The students, staff, parents and stage crew have
been working tirelessly in preparing what will be a
truly spectacular show. Tickets are selling quickly so
please contact Reception to book your tickets so that
you do not miss out on this wonderful production.
EVERY DAY COUNTS
When students miss school, not only is their academic progress impeded, forcing them to catch up on missed
work (which they may or may not do), they often miss important interactions with their peers which can compound
issues of social isolation and low self-esteem.

YEAR 10 2015 STUDIES INFORMATION NIGHT
Thank you to all parents/guardians and students who attended this evening. Decision making about education is
becoming more involved, particularly as career opportunities and pathways keep changing in our modern world
today. Parents/guardians, please do not underestimate the value and impact your support gives your children in
the Subject Selection process.
Year 10 is an important year for all students as it is often the ‘spring board’ for setting up good pathways that lead
to desired outcomes when they leave school. Teenagers often rely on that ‘extra ear’ to help discern information
and ‘regular reminders’ to follow up on tasks that need to be done. I encourage parents/guardians and students
to use the College Moodle site to identify areas of information that are relevant to educational pathways. Then,
you may be in a better situation to ask the right questions of the right people so that your concerns/issues can
be addressed in the best possible way. The closing date for Subject Selections is Friday August 8.
ENGLISH/MATHS WORKSHOPS
A reminder that a new consent form needs to be filled out for Semester 2. These forms can
be collected from Reception.
SEMESTER ONE ACADEMIC AWARDS:
Students will be awarded Courage and Courtesy Awards for Academic Excellence at next week’s assembly.
I look forward to publishing their names in the next College newsletter.

PARISH PRIMARY SCHOOLS LIGHTNING PREMIERSHIP DAY – Friday, September 5
This is an annual event on our College calendar where Grade 5 and 6 students from our Parish Primary Schools
take part in a Lightning Premiership competition of Football, Newcombe and Netball. Football and Newcombe
teams compete at the Beaconsfield Campus and the Netball competition takes place at Cardinia Life Recreation
Centre in Pakenham. This day forms part of the College’s transition program as the current Grade 6 students
have the opportunity to meet and compete with students from other Catholic Feeder Primary Schools within the
St. Francis Xavier community. The students competing also have contact with many of our senior students, as
our Year 10 students traditionally take on the responsibility of acting as umpires and officials and the general
running of the day’s program. The Parish Primary schools in our community include Berwick: St. Catherine’s,
St. Michael’s and St. Brigid’s, Narre Warren: Mary MacKillop, Trinity and Don Bosco, Pakenham: St. Patrick’s,
Koo Wee Rup: St. John the Baptist and St. James, Nar Nar Goon.

HEAD OF MATHEMATICS
Mr Joe Marsiglio
Mathematics Subject Selection Information
Year 9 2014 to Year 10 2015
Information for Parents
This information related to the Mathematics options in Year 10 2015 is to support students and parents in making
the best decision related to the appropriate Mathematics area of study. Further details related to the subject
descriptions can be obtained from the Senior Campus Subject Information Handbook
At Year 10, there are three Mathematics options:
• Essential Mathematics
• Core Mathematics
• Advanced Mathematics
Essential Mathematics is aimed at students who have genuinely struggled with Mathematics at the Junior
Campus. It is a course of study that does not go into concepts in as great detail as Year 10 Core Mathematics
does. Students who take this option do not need to purchase a CAS calculator.
Core Mathematics is the natural progression from Year 9 Mathematics. Students taking this option will normally
progress to General Mathematics as their preferred option in their first year of VCE. There may be some students
who have been part of the Year 9 Advanced Mathematics course that decide to choose the Core Mathematics
option in Year 10.
Advanced Mathematics is faster-paced and a more detailed course than the Core option. It is designed for
students who enjoy and do well in Mathematics. These students may wish to continue advancing in the future
and take up Mathematical Methods in their first year of VCE. Students may progress to this study from Year
9 Advanced Mathematics. Students may also enter this course of study from Year 9 Core Mathematics. It is
expected that these students would have very good grades, an excellent work ethic and preparedness, and a
genuine interest in studying mathematics at this level.
Students who are not certain as to which course to select are advised to discuss their options and possibilities
with their current Mathematics teacher or with the Careers Counsellor, Mrs Thomas. Further queries may be
directed to Mr Marsiglio, Head of Mathematics on 9707 3111.

BEAUMONT ORATORY 2014
Mrs Geraldine Nunn
In Semester 1 each year students complete a formal oral presentation as part of the English curriculum. English
teachers select one student from each class to participate in a Year Level competition, the Beaumont Oratory
(the College Public Speaking Competition). The competition is named after a local Beaconsfield resident, Mr
Beaumont who was extremely impressed with the quality of the public speaking performances by students at
the opening of St. Francis Xavier College. Mr Beaumont donated a perpetual trophy and so, our yearly public
speaking competition commenced. The competition has evolved from participation by Senior students only, to a
Year Level final at each Campus.
The competition this year was held during the last two weeks of Term 2. Mr Ian Coffey was this year’s adjudicator
and he was extremely impressed with the quality of the performances. He had the difficult task of choosing the
three ‘top’ students for each year level.
Congratulations to the following students who were chosen by their English teachers as finalists for the Beaumont
Oratory. The students’ speeches were well prepared, delivered with confidence and poise and thoroughly
researched.
I would like to thank each member of the English faculty for their hard work and dedication to our students.

RUGBY
Round 8 of the VSRU Competition saw our Rugby
boys rack up their first win of the season against the
top of the table Xavier College. Last Saturday the boys
defied the odds against the much fancied opponents;
and ended up winners 46-17. This was a marvellous
performance and the win was made even more
marvellous considering the conditions the boys played
in (see photos). With heavy rain over the last couple
of weeks the Rugby Pitch had taken a beating with
mud spread out all over the field. The way in which the
boys were able to overcome their opponents and the
conditions was an amazing effort.
The coach was delighted that the boys were able to
have some success after all the hard work they have
put in over the season. The game highlighted how
much the team had developed over the year, and the
performance showed that they can match it with the
best. This Saturday they have another home game
against Brighton Grammar. It would be great to see
another good turn out in support of the boys as they try
to make it two wins on the trot.
On behalf of everyone at the College I would like to
congratulate our Rugby Team for their win on the
weekend, and wish them the best of luck for the
remainder of the year.

courses, collect information, talk to staff and students, and to check out facilities. Year 10-12 students are advised to
attend.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF OPEN DAY VISITS – Don’t wander aimlessly… try the following:
•
Get an Open Day Guide eg from www.deakin.edu.au/openday, www.openday.unimelb.edu.au, or http://
destination.monash/open-day). Plan to be at Open Day when relevant information sessions are scheduled
•
Allow sufficient time for your visit; two hours or so would be advisable
•
Speak to staff about courses which interest you - note your questions beforehand
•
Get a student perspective - speak to students studying courses which interest you
•
Collect information/brochures
•
Ask about industry based-learning (IBL) opportunities; these can assist with gaining employment
•
Ask about international study opportunities – a popular option
•
Consider transport issues; is the campus accessible from where you live?
•
Check the environment where you will study; will you be happy there for three/four years?
•
Consider the facilities/clubs offered at your preferred institution
•
Consider visiting a rural campus, especially if you think you won’t obtain a high enough ATAR for a metropolitan
campus. ATAR’s are often lower and they often offer more personal assistance, accommodation, and a lifestyle
which will suit some students.
NOTE: If you plan to apply for a course involving an interview/folio presentation/ audition as part of the selection
process, attendance is A MUST! You might be asked what you learned at Open Day.

ARE THERE STILL JOBS IN JOURNALISM? Career Practitioners at a conference at Monash Uni, heard about
opportunities in journalism. Journalism is not in decline; it is newspapers that are in decline; newspapers
and journalism are not the same thing. The digital era that is destroying the old business model is opening
up opportunities. We are entering an age where we can combine all media to tell our stories. Skills needed
include enterprise, independence and resourcefulness. Jobs in media are fragmenting with online opportunities
proliferating. Journalists need to: think critically, understand the concepts of evidence and impartial argument,
find stories, research, interview, write, edit, know the difference between good/bad writing, and digital skills
in content creation and distribution. With the skills of journalism, you are a good fit for jobs in many areas such as
PR, communications, speechwriting and producing. NOTE: Journalism can be studied at most universities.
WHAT ABOUT SURVEYING? Surveying offers opportunities for those looking for a diverse and varied career. The
national demand for surveyors means graduates are more likely to secure jobs in surveying compared with many other
professions. Surveyors get to work indoors and outdoors, taking precise measurements using specialised technology,
then analysing and interpreting the results. Students interested in maths, geography, physics and science could be
suited to this career.

Dear St. Francis Xavier Parents,
I will be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in September with Caritas.
The money raised will support communities in need in many countries,
particularly in Africa.
I am committed to assisting children and families in need in order for them
to access better water, food, education, medical health and personal safety.
I am especially committed to helping children and women who have been denied
personal rights, freedom or education or suffered abuse of any kind.
I will also be visiting the Ruben Centre after the completion of my climb,
as my contribution to the 15th year of our fundraising for this special community
in Niairobi, Kenya.
I would really appreciate your support of my climb and fundraising for others in need.
All money will go to the communities supported by Caritas in Africa.
Please access the web page below if you would like to help.

Tips for staying active this
winter!
Exercise Induced Asthma (EIA) is a common
trigger for asthma. However, it does not need
to be a barrier to Students participating in
sports and physical activities.
Here are some tips to help prevent EIA in
students:
Before Exercise take reliever medication 5-20
minutes before warming up.
Warm Up before exercise as normal.
During Exercise watch for asthma symptoms
and administer reliever medication if they
should occur. Only return to exercise if
symptoms are relieved. If symptoms appear
again, administer medication again, until they
are relieved. It is not recommended that the
Student should return to the sporting activity
after a second occurrence of asthma symptoms.
After Exercise cool down as usual. Note that
asthma symptoms can present up to a half an
hour after exercise has stopped. Ensure reliever
medication is still easily accessible should it be
required.
Other things to remember:
 Ensure all students have current Asthma
Action/Care Plans
 If possible make activities that are scheduled for
the night indoors as the drop in air temperature
makes air colder to inhale and acts as a greater
trigger.
 Encourage students with asthma to participate
fully!
