PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Brigidine Day
The day was preceded by the Year 12 students’ sleep over on Brigidine Day
Eve.
Students gave generously to the appeal to fund a Rotary
bushfire reconstruction project. Kilbreda’s funds will go
towards building a playground at Marysville Primary School.
Our Eucharist celebrant was Fr Greg Burke who had been
appointed Bushfire Recovery Chaplain by Archbishop Hart.
A Brigid’s Cross was presented to Mr Russell Rees, Chief
Officer of the CFA. Tradition says that Brigid would weave
crosses when she visited the sick. The cross was to bring
healing and strength. A cross was also given to Mr & Mrs
Willans, whose daughter, Michelle, enrolled at Kilbreda from
Marysville Secondary College.
The Quiz was challenging and the competition was fierce. The weather was
perfect and students enjoyed a number of outdoor entertainments. Students
were treated to the music of Vixia.
The success of the day was brought about by the Year 12 students’ careful
planning, the support of staff and the enthusiasm of the students.
The total funds raised was $8,800. The Le Page Cricket Club contributed
$3,125.00, a most generous gift to the Marysville Primary School Playground
Project.
On Thursday 8 October 2009 Vince Beirne, Tony
Dalton, Cate Jacka, Derek Haagsma, Mathilda
Burton 10/61, Charlotte Gregory 10/59, Nadia
Russo 10/59 and Megan Underwood 10/55 spent
the day working with the Interfaith Blaze-Aid
Project. (The students are from the Building Bridges
Program that includes students from Christian,
Islamic and Jewish faiths who come together
regularly– see next page.) Their day’s work would
have taken the land owner 12 weeks.
These include:
Master of Teaching launch
Creative Arts forum
Deakin Sport graduate and industry friends seminar
Art exhibition – Deakin University small sculpture award.

2009 program visit www.deakin.edu.au/deakinweek.

to 18 months credit.

BUILDING BRIDGES INTERFAITH GROUP ACTIVITY DAY (8/10/09)
BLAZEAID
This year instead of having its normal creativity day gathering at one of the
participating Southern Region schools, the Kilbreda Building Bridges Interfaith
Group had the opportunity to take part in BLAZEAID, a volunteer based
program aiming to give a hand to people affected by the terrible bushfires
earlier this year.
About 40 students and staff from Kilbreda College, Mazenod College, Caulfield
Grammar, King David School, and Mt Hira College took part in the day. So it
was a vibrant and noisy mix of religions – Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim,
united in their determination to help people in real need in our community. It
was a terrific if tiring experience and wonderful to see interfaith harmony and
friendship in action.
The group met at Kilmore East at 7.30am on Thursday October 8 for a quick
induction and registration before spending the day doing fencing work at a
nearby farm. Steve, the owner of the farm said we had saved him at least 12
weeks of backbreaking, dawn to dusk work, yet even with the 40 of us
slogging away for the whole day there was so much more to be done. We all
became quite proficient at pulling up posts and bundling wire by the end of the
day.
Thanks to the following staff and students who took part in the BLAZEAID day:
- Megan Underwood, Charlotte Gregory, Mathilda Burton from Year 10, and
staff members Tony Dalton, Cate Jacka, Derek Haagsma and Vince Beirne.
If you would like more information on BLAZEAID it can be found at http://

to remember to have all items of uniform named and labelled.
Transition for Year 7 2010 has begun this week and will continue for the
next few weeks. Students will be given the opportunity to volunteer their
assistance in this program and to act as leaders and ambassadors to our
new students. If students are interested in assisting in this area, please let

A look back at the Year 9 Social – Tuesday 15 September
People were preparing for the social days in advance - hair, tan and nails are
just a few of the things that girls had to organise! Many of the Year 9s paired
up and got ready with a friend and then headed to Kilbreda's Hall for a great
night! To start the night off, we did our previously learnt dances. Lots of people
had no idea what they were doing, but they kept on going! As the night went
on people spoke with each other more than at 'learn to dance', however there
was even more talking when the fire alarm went off! Waiting outside people
took more photos and made fun of what had happened. Everybody was happy
to see the 'CFA Man', and he got applauded as he arrived. Once we were
given the all clear, everybody headed back inside for some more freestyle
dancing. Soon though, the night came to a close and everybody headed
home. Wednesday brought stories of the night, and even MORE talking!
A great night was had by all!
Stephanie Gommers and Emily Flannery-Doyle 9/34
PUBLIC SPEAKING NEWS
On the evening of Wednesday 2 September, we travelled out to the Mulgrave
Country Club to compete in the Rotary Four Way Public Speaking
Competition. We competed against two other schools. In our speeches we had
to tie in at least two of the ‘Four Way Test Questions’ which were ‘Is it fair to all
those concerned?’, ‘Is it beneficial to all those concerned?’, ‘Will it build better
friendships?’ and ‘Is it the truth?’. Stephanie spoke on the United Nations
Millennium Goal number 15, which relates to poverty and Victoria spoke on the
effects of advertising on children under the age of twelve. After getting off to a
nervous start we both spoke
beautifully and after all the speeches
had been delivered the judges
conferred in order to pick the finalist
and runner up. After 10 or so minutes
of waiting and answering questions
from the host, the winners were
announced. Congratulations to
Stephanie who was selected as a
finalist and Victoria who was
announced as a runner up. Stephanie
will compete in the semi finals on 16
October. Best of luck!!

YEAR 8 NEWS
A big welcome back to all of the Year 8s for the final term of 2009! We hope
you are all relaxed after the holidays and are ready to do some work this term
(and of course have some fun as well!) Last Friday was the Kilbreda Art and
Design Exhibition. It was great to see the different works from the Year 8s and
we hope everyone enjoyed themselves. It was a fantastic night. Thanks to all
the teachers and students who organised the event.
The second Foreshore group is up and running again. There is only two more
sessions left. We hope everyone had a good
holiday, and we look forward to the
upcoming events throughout the term.
Tess Sabbatucci, Olivia Russo 8/50.

LOTE NEWS
The fresh start to another term begins with some great news.
LOTE Grinners are Winners
VCE Japanese students, together with the Yr 12 French class, flexed their
language reading and listening skills last term by undertaking the Assessment
of Language Competence Certificates (ALC). The ALC is a language program
designed specifically for our region of the world. Like us at Kilbreda, it aims to
promote and celebrate the learning of Languages. Once again Kilbreda girls
have done extremely well. The results were impressive, being well above
those of similar schools and most encouraging for Kilbreda, a first time
participator in the program. Congratulations to all the girls who took part.
A truly commendable achievement in French is awarded to Jasmine Burridge
with a HD (in Listening) ; for Japanese, Rebecca Baker and Emily Tang were
both accredited Distinctions (in Reading) and Melissa Sweeney gained a
Distinction (in Listening).
Japanese:
Art on display at the College has staff a buzz – Thanks, Mary, for your great
detective skills in sourcing cultural displays.
Some great news from Japanese Language Teachers`Association of Victoria.
Of the 18 entries received for the Brush Calligraphy Competition there were
three prize winners in Year 9 – all three students are from Kilbreda!
What a wonderful effort with truly impressive results by the girls and their
talented Teacher, Chizu Mukaigawara.
The girls are:
1. Ritceda Chhay
2. Elizabeth Barrow
3. Emma Ward
Margaret Lithgow, the experienced calligrapher judging the entries made some
glowing remarks about the high standard of the entries. She went on to
comment that the quality was all the more outstanding given that students may
not have had a lot of experience using brush and ink to write calligraphy at
school.
The Japanese ALC (Assessment of Language Competence) results with
accompanying certificates have just been received. The results for the VCE
girls are great with many girls gaining Distinctions in both the Listening and the
Reading Sections. As a result, Kilbreda fares well above the averages of the
participating other schools.
Cont...
French
Similar fantastic results for the Yr 12 French ALC with Jasmine Burridge
gaining a High Distinction in the reading Section. All this puts a positive spill
and wind under their girls` wings as they sit for their oral exams this afternoon.
Bonne chance and a pray.
Italian
As the Dante Alighieri Certificates have just arrived as well these could
perhaps be presented at a later Assembly in the term together with the
Year 9 Japanese Calligraphy Awards
An enormous congratulations to you all.
With thanks
Rosalie Padovan
YEAR 9 NEWS
I hope all girls had a restful break after a busy Term 3.
This term will also be a busy term as the girls finalise all work requirements
before reports are written. There are also some whole year level events taking
place. The first being a Big Sister, Little Sister training day which will take place
on Wednesday 14 October. Letters have been sent home about this. Girls will
participate in various activities; hear from a guest speaker about leadership and
also from current Y10 Big Sisters and Y7 Little Sisters about the program. Girls
will have the opportunity to explore their personal qualities which will help them
be a successful Big Sister in Year 10 and they will also write a letter to their
2010 Little Sister in the afternoon.
The Urban Adventure takes place on Tuesday 27 October. Girls will be visiting
the city again with their Sisterhoods and undertaking various journeys through
the City of Melbourne along the theme of “Let Your Imagination Guide You…”.
Sisterhoods will be able to explore various areas of the city and will return to
school and create a visual presentation from their day. Letters and consent
forms will be sent home shortly.
We also have the Duke of Ed and Lake Condah camps (for Non-Duke of Ed
girls) this term. Rooms 24, 25, 26 are on camp 4-6 November. Rooms 33 & 34
are on camp 11-13 November. Rooms 35 & 36 are on camp 18-20 November.
A reminder to girls going on the Lake Condah camps that the consent form and
dietary requirement forms are returned to homeroom teachers by Friday 16 th
October at the latest.
I hope the girls continue to work to their best efforts and are able to finish 2009
happy in the knowledge they have achieved to their potential.
