E-News 18 October 2022
Welcome
A very warm welcome to all staff, students, parents and caregivers to the start of Term 4. I hope that you enjoyed the holiday break and are looking forward to a very exciting final term at the College, filled with opportunities and learning possibilities.
Endeavour
The start of a term provides the opportune time for our students to reflect on their past performance and effort with a view to look for future improvement opportunities. We want our students to take full ownership of their learning and to consistently look for ways to grow and fulfill their God-given talents.
Whilst we are all blessed with different gifts, there is a critical constant common ingredient that supports us to live them out to their full – that is to consistently give one’s best. We are encouraged to let our light shine from the roof top and not to ‘hide it under the bushel’. God has provided us with our talents to use in developing our best selves in service of others.
We therefore have a strong focus at Av Christi College of recognising those students who give of their best and step outside of their comfort zone to learn, often despite obstacles and challenges. Each week in the Primary school at assembly the College awards Merit certificates to those students who display this wonderfully positive attitude to life at the school. We also present Endeavor certificates across all years in recognition of excellent student application in them working toward their goals.
We were thrilled last week to present the latest round of Endeavour Certificates to students from Years 7 to 10. These students are to be commended for their amazing work ethic and determination to consistently give of their best. These students are wonderful role models to our community and show us what can be achieved through a growth mindset and a strong willingness to try hard and to remain focussed on the task at hand.
We encourage all of our students to consistently adopt high levels of effort and application for any task that they undertake. This common ingredient to success will promote development in whatever pathway they chose.
Endeavour Awards
Groups and Clubs
As a College we recognise the individuality of students and hence provide a plethora of different growth opportunities for students both in and outside of the classroom. Recently we promoted the extraordinary array of clubs available at the College.
Our clubs are intended to engage students in an area that interests them and to connect them with like-mined students. We are very grateful for the support of teachers and encourage students to step forward and get involved. The full list of clubs is available at www.corpus.wa.edu.au/extra-curricular
Av Christi is most definitely a school of opportunity through the provision of pathways which personalises learning for students. To develop as whole persons, we encourage all of our students to fully invest themselves in their selected range of options. We want students to show great endeavour always, to regularly seek out support from staff when needed and to feel safe within our College environment to step outside of their comfort zone to grow.
Planning and Feedback
We are very grateful to our community for the excellent feedback we have received from parents, caregivers, staff and students as we continue to shape our K-12 College.
We were thrilled to recently receive over 160 feedback submissions from parents in response to our College uniform refresh survey. We will collate ideas which will help to shape up the process, timeframe and style of the College uniform moving forward. We will also be engaging with our students to seek their feedback on the uniform design in the early stages of Term 1 next year.
We are also very thankful for the feedback we have received regarding communication across the College via the Friends of Av. This feedback has promoted the design of a College-wide app that will improve the consistency and certainty of communication across the College. Thank you to members of the Friends of Av who volunteered to be part of the consultation group to help design the app. A draft version of the app is nearing completion with a trial process being organised for the parent consultation group later this term. We look forward to then releasing the app to our full College community.
Friends of Av
The next meeting is on Wednesday 9 November 2022 in the Sadler Centre from 7.00pm - 8.30pm.

Outside School Hours Care (OSHC)
We are now seeking feedback from our parents and caregivers on our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) strategy. The College understands that Outside School Hours Care is an important service for some families within our community. The College is fortunate to have a dedicated space for the Outside School Hours Care program with a carpark conveniently located close by. The aim of the service is to provide children with experiences before school, after school and in their holidays which are enriching and engaging, whilst allowing families to be flexible in managing care.
The current service contract with Av Australia is due for renewal at the end of 2022. I am kindly seeking your feedback regarding the service by 31 October 2022.

Master Planning
As you are aware, the College recently undertook a process to select an architect to work with our community in the development of a new K-12 Master Plan. This plan will inform the future capital development and capital improvements for the combined College.
Following a very rich and in-depth selection strategy, we are pleased to announce that the successful candidate is Munns Sly Moore Architects.
Munns Sly Moore Architects serve projects in Perth and Sydney, and in regional communities across Australia. They are an award winning architectural, interior and urban design practice with a wealth of experience in broad range of project types, with particular expertise in public and educational building design.
We look forward to working with the team from Munns Sly Moore Architects in continuing to develop our campus to ensure the spaces we design provide a catalyst to support learning and growth across all years. As a connected community, we are excited to work with our students, staff, parents and caregivers to collectively shape up the best possible learning environment for the current and future holistic needs of our students.
Upcoming Events
1. Year 12 Graduation Assembly, Mass and Ceremony
This is a very special week in the lives of our Year 12 students as they progress toward their formal graduation from Av Christi on Thursday. We look forward to recognising their contribution to the College at our upcoming Graduation Assembly during the day and then celebrating together as a community at our Graduation Mass and Ceremony being held at St Mary’s Cathedral in the evening.
2. Primary Athletics Carnival
Best wishes to students for their Primary Athletics Carnival scheduled for Friday this week. We look forward to parents, guardians and friends attending the event in support of the students.

Update from the Head of Primary
Students arrived brimming with excitement and looking great in their summer school uniforms. A reminder that students are asked to transition to summer uniform by the end of Week 2.
We have a number of new students - and, therefore, new families - that have begun at the Primary campus this term…. A very warm welcome to you all! We know you will find many warm and nurturing friends amongst the Av Christi College community and look forward to getting you know you better.
Our classrooms continue to be very busy places of learning – if you are wishing to be a parent helper in our classrooms, please approach the classroom teacher to find out if there are any rosters, this term, that you can join.
We welcome our parents to come along and enjoy the 2022 Primary Athletics Carnival this Friday 21st October on the primary oval. Students will be sitting with their faction and supporting their team throughout the day. Thank you to Mr Debowski for the huge amount of organising he has already accomplished so that we enjoy an extremely successful day!
We ask that all families keep our Year 3 students in their prayers - especially this Saturday 22 October when they will be receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. As a whole community, we wish them God’s blessings and grace always.
Don’t forget to RSVP to our Grandparents Day Liturgy and Morning Tea on Tuesday 25 October and our exciting Primary Disco which will be held on Friday 4 November.
We wish those students involved in the FUSE Cup - Mario Kart Live event on Wednesday morning all the best. These students will be competing online in a series of heats against other schools from around the world.
A reminder to families to remain current on the happenings around the college by checking the College calendar frequently and also going through to the ‘Events’ tab where you will read detailed information about the many, important coming events this term!
Although it is very exciting, and natural, to look to the future and all it can bring, lets focus our students on the wonder of the present, the gifts that God brings us in each ordinary day, and how our ‘presence’ to each other can assist us to continually grow and be “outstanding for others”. I wish all our students, parents, carers and staff a great term of deep learning and a rich sense of community.
“Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.” — Mother Teresa

Middle School (Years 7-9)
A big welcome back to Term 4, and whilst some of us are preparing to enter Senior School and establish academic pathways aligned to future careers and passions, others are collectively breathing out as the hump of settling into middle school is overcome.
Week 1 saw us start with Year Assemblies where we acknowledged various Endeavour Award winners. The Certificate of Endeavour is awarded to one student in each class who has demonstrated:
outstanding effort over the term
consistent application in class
positive cooperation and
thorough completion of homework and assignment tasks.
Each assembly also maintained a key theme for this term. Please find a description of these below
Year 7
Assembly Theme: Effort
Our first assembly was not just celebrating a select few students’ effort, I’d like to acknowledge all of Year 7 efforts. This has been a big year. They have achieved many things as a result of serious determined effort.
Students were encouraged to think back over the year and think of the challenges they have faced. The biggest one that has come to mind is starting high school. “You’ve done it, you’ve gotten through the discomfort, the yuckiness of your locker, new uniforms, timetables, SEQTA, all amidst a pandemic that threw more difficulty on top of it. But after all that, you’re here, fronting up and attempting school.”
I then challenged students, “I want you to continue to exist in the space of discomfort and as a result, keep moving forward. The way you do this is by elevating your effort. Little things like, read before bed so you can sleep better, get up early and go for a walk/run before breakfast, have breakfast, try not to talk to your mates in class because all those things require extra effort.”
“You know when you’re not trying your best. You know when you’re cruising. You know when you take the easy option. I want you to push, I want you to try harder because that effort is the difference between being an ok friend and a great friend. That effort is the difference between creating a happy environment with mum and dad at home and fighting with them. That effort is the difference between you getting the next endeavour award and you sitting down for the whole assembly.”
“Realise that effort is the only thing holding you back from being great. I am not asking you to be the next LeBron James, Greta Thorburng or Jacinta Ardern, I am simply asking you to be a great you. As that will make a massive difference to the people who care most about you.”
Year 8
Assembly Theme: Belonging
Students were encouraged NOT to put people in boxes, instead to see each of their peers and teachers as humans made in the IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD. In doing so they have been encouraged to RESPECT and CONNECT with all members of their Homeroom and extended Year 8 Family.
The Student Leadership Team (SLT) will be working with their Homerooms to build community through the Inter Homeroom challenges and Intra Homeroom activities. The remainder of the assembly was spent acknowledging the various Endeavour award winners.
Year 9
Assembly Theme: Change your habits, change your life.
It has been pleasing to see the Year 9 cohort return, looking smart in full summer uniform and ready to learn. Whilst celebrating student success in our Endeavour Awards assembly earlier last week, students have been challenged to continue to build momentum in their work ethic. After the huge accomplishment of the Personal Project last term, I am hoping that students continue to push themselves daily for the remainder of Term 4. Our staff are finalising the marking process for the Personal Project and they will be released to students over the coming weeks.
Key points from our assembly included:
The Importance of building good habits
Students were challenged to identify an area that they would like to change in Term 4 to ensure that the rest of Year 9 is a positive experience. We looked at how changing habits can change your life. Discipline can help to create the foundation of amazing opportunities. Now is the time for Year 9 students to prime themselves for success.
Year 9 Social
Students have been asked to look out for an invite to the Year 9 Social towards the end of the term. We will be holding an outdoor cinema evening at the College, this will be an invite-only event for students who have been demonstrating the required qualities across Term 4.
Key dates for Term 4 :
Tuesday 25 October - Pastoral presentation on vaping
Friday 11 November - Pastoral Periods focusing on Wellbeing
Wednesday 16 November - Year assembly
Friday 2 December - Awards Ceremony
Week 8 - 9 - Year group social event (Specific date and time TBC)

Deputy Principal Middle School
Year 9 Retreat
The Year 9 Retreat was entitled Connection and ran over two days in Week 1.
The Retreat was an opportunity for students to participate in engaging sessions from Youth Mission Team (YMT), Soul Gestures and College staff. The sessions challenged students to learn more about themselves, connect with their inner person and understand compassion, which leads them to Acts of Kindness.
This Year 9 Retreat enabled students to have a real connection between Head, Heart and Hands and we were thrilled with the positive feedback from both our presenters and our students.
To learn more about the Retreat, please visit:
Year 10 Faith in Action Hours
This is a friendly reminder that the hours for Year 10 are due this Friday 21 October to the Upper Room. Students are required to complete a minimum of 15 hours and two of those was from their Retreat at the beginning of the year.
If your child requires some help completing these, please speak to their Homeroom Teacher, Head of Year 10 - Mrs Marroccoli or Christian Service Learning Coordinator - Ms Katrina Thomas, in regard to this. During extended homeroom on Wednesday, a reflection will take place and time for any questions to be answered.
Faith In Action opportunity:
Location: Kulungah-Myah Family Centre, 136 Le Souef Dr, Kardinya
Date: Saturday, 19th November 2022
Time: 9am to 3pm (any length of time and start-time within that period is fine, but we do ask they undertake a 2-hour minimum commitment)
What to wear: closed shoes preferred (some of the toys are quite heavy and we don't want any injuries) and comfortable clothing.
Tasks:
- Clean toys and storage shelving
- Clean storeroom (quick sweep)
- Take out/put away toys back in their shelves
Please see Ms Thomas if you are interested in the above.
Selfless September – Middle School
Last term during September we launched ‘Selfless September’, where we are asked the Middle School students to reflect and complete 30 days of small acts of kindness. This Wednesday during Extended Homeroom is the final part of Selfless September where we will be reflecting and handing in their sheets. Students are asked to bring their sheet into Homeroom on Wednesday.
Some may ask why do we have to, what is the point? Recently our Year 9 students participated in a retreat experience run by Soul Gestures, Catherine Kolomyjec who recently she completed research into the area of compassion and how it affects your body and your health. Catherine explained that “when you're compassionate it affects seven separate areas of your brain just by doing acts of compassion. Basically, the oxytocin opens up your blood vessels, so it's actually good for your heart health, and serotonin has a calming effect which can actually help when you're anxious and dopamine is a rush of the feel good.” This all relates that doing a small act of kindness for someone, it can help you in your body and mind. So next time instead of thinking of it as a chore, think of all the benefits that you will receive when you complete your Faith in Action.
New Opportunity for Middle School, Primary School (Year 6) and Staff
This term we are offering the opportunity for students in the Middle School, and Year 6 students in the Primary campus and all Staff to come and cook for St Patricks Community Centre. We will be starting this Week 3 and finishing Week 7 of Term 4 (depending on numbers). If this is something that your child might like to do with some friends, please send an email to through to katrina.thomas@cewa.edu.au to register. This will be happening on Thursday after school on the Secondary Avus in the D02 (Home Economics Room). All you need to do is bring the required ingredients and find some friends to cook with.
New Opportunity for Secondary Students and Staff
On Tuesday Afternoon we are starting a new activity called Fidget Blankets. These are to help with people who have Dementia in our community. Fidget Blankets are a small blanket / rectangle piece of fabric/felt which has all textured items, zips, velcro etc sewn onto it. Interested students are to send an email to through to katrina.thomas@cewa.edu.au to register or visit her in the Upper Room. We will start Week 3 and finish Week 7 of Term 4 (depending on numbers).
Remember: ‘The very nature of kindness is to spread. If you are kind to others, today they will be kind to you, and tomorrow to somebody else.’ Sri Chinmoy
