Feast <strong>of</strong> the Trinity – Sunday June 19 th<br />

God, our nurturer, create in us an open heart, to hear your word and see its possibilities.<br />

God, our friend, walk with us in our search for meaning through the darkness that obscures our<br />

vision.<br />

God, our motivator, inspire us to meet the challenges <strong>of</strong> the future with hope <strong>of</strong> your Spirit.<br />

<strong>FROM</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>PRINCIPAL</strong><br />

Dear Members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Academy</strong> Community,<br />

This week has been a very important week for students in Years 9 to 12. Students have sat a number <strong>of</strong> examinations<br />

with the culmination being the General Achievement Test (GAT) which took place yesterday for all students studying<br />

a 3/4 unit. Hopefully your daughters will now be feeling not only a sense <strong>of</strong> relief but also a sense <strong>of</strong> accomplishment<br />

that their study and their efforts have come to fruition.<br />

We now move to Semester 2 next week and this new semester presents students with new challenges and the<br />

opportunity to immerse themselves in their studies with renewed vigour and energy.<br />

At the present time staff are involved in the extremely important process <strong>of</strong> Report writing. This is a task that takes an<br />

enormous amount <strong>of</strong> time and I remind you <strong>of</strong> the two student free days as detailed in our College calendar.<br />

• Wednesday, June 22 nd - Correction and Report Writing Day—no classes for students.<br />

• Friday July 1 st - Pro<strong>of</strong> Reading <strong>of</strong> Reports (am) and staff Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Development (pm) – no classes<br />

for students.<br />

• Please note therefore that students will finish Term 2 at 3.15pm on Thursday, 30 th June.<br />

• Reports will be posted during the first week <strong>of</strong> the school holidays.<br />

The beginning <strong>of</strong> Term 3, Monday 18 th July is a Staff Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Development Day.<br />

Students begin Term 3 on Tuesday 19 th July.<br />

On Sunday we celebrate the great feast <strong>of</strong> the Trinity. In acknowledgement <strong>of</strong> this feast let us pray for each other.<br />

May the love <strong>of</strong> the Father enfold us,<br />

The wisdom <strong>of</strong> the Son enlighten us,<br />

The fire <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit inflame us;<br />

And may the blessing <strong>of</strong> the Three Person God rest upon us,<br />

And abide in us now and ever more. Amen.<br />

Year 9 GREAT OUTDOORS - Mapping and Tourism project<br />

Getaway Show!<br />

From the sporting stadiums to shopping centres, Melbourne’s got it all! After visiting<br />

Eureka Tower to get our bearings the Year 9 Great Outdoors class split into four<br />

teams and have bravely ventured out to the corners <strong>of</strong> Melbourne’s hot spots,<br />

bringing back to you pieces <strong>of</strong> treasures from each. We’re looking forward to<br />

presenting our fieldwork as a ‘Getaway’ show. Thanks Mrs McLennan for the<br />

experience.<br />

Cheap Shopping<br />

Melbourne is bursting over the rim with local and international designers, chain stores, vintage and small boutiques.<br />

Arts, Entertainment and Sports<br />

With Australia known as a sport fanatic country as well as a multi-cultural one, sporting<br />

entertainment and cultural arts are lurking in every corner <strong>of</strong> Melbourne. Whether it’s Asian arts<br />

and entertainment like China Town, or downright Aussie AFL and the MCG, this city is constantly<br />

bubbling over with adventurers in search for a taste <strong>of</strong> fun.<br />

Historical Melbourne<br />

Melbourne is full <strong>of</strong> historical places and even though most may<br />

cringe at the thought <strong>of</strong> going to places to do with history you can<br />

actually get a lot out <strong>of</strong> it and have a good time!! As the Historical<br />

Group we went to the Immigration Museum, Captain Cook’s<br />

Cottage, The State Library and The Old Melbourne Gaol. We got<br />

around to each <strong>of</strong> our destinations without getting lost once! We<br />

had heaps <strong>of</strong> fun and really enjoyed ourselves.<br />

Family Fun<br />

On this Great Outdoors ‘Getaway’ excursion we visited<br />

many great family fun places, including The Aquarium, Ice-<br />

House, Wonderland Fun Park, The Museum and IMAX. We<br />

enjoyed this experience going around Melbourne and<br />

appreciated the beautiful scenery. In our travels, we came<br />

across a Big M van and we were able to take as many<br />

FREE Big M’s as we could, and that made our day!<br />

This project brought Melbourne to life for the girls and it was wonderful seeing them so exited and productive<br />

with their collection <strong>of</strong> data… Looking forward to the show!<br />

LOTE NEWS<br />

On Thursday 19 th May, ten students from the Year 11 Japanese class went<br />

to Shoya Japanese restaurant in Market Lane in the city to conclude their<br />

study <strong>of</strong> “The Eating Habits <strong>of</strong> the Japanese”. The girls were able to sample<br />

a range <strong>of</strong> traditional Japanese food such as t<strong>of</strong>u, a type <strong>of</strong> savoury custard<br />

called chawanmushi, tempura, sashimi and udon. They were also able to<br />

experience dining at an authentic atmosphere seated at “horigotatsu” type<br />

tables and being served by native speakers <strong>of</strong> the Japanese language who<br />

were only too happy to explain what ingredients were used or how certain<br />

dishes were prepared. The information gathered by the students on this<br />

excursion was then used the following week when they wrote a review <strong>of</strong> the<br />

restaurant in Japanese for their Written SAC.<br />

INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTRE<br />

RAGE Book Club<br />

On Friday May 20 th Stephanie Stepan, a former student <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Academy</strong> and now Publicist at Text Publishing, came to speak to<br />

members <strong>of</strong> the RAGE Book Club about the publishing industry.<br />

She firstly explained how she worked as a volunteer at a<br />

publishing company and then managed to secure a position at<br />

Text. She went on to talk about how authors go about getting their<br />

books published and emphasised the importance <strong>of</strong> pro<strong>of</strong> reading.<br />

Editors do not accept manuscripts which have grammatical and<br />

spelling errors. Steph also brought along a couple <strong>of</strong> young adult<br />

books which are to be released later this year.<br />

It was a great pleasure to welcome Steph back to the school and<br />

hear about her life after <strong>Academy</strong>.<br />

A number <strong>of</strong> RAGE members went along to the Reading Matters<br />

Conference at the State Library on 26 th May and listened to a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> authors talk about their books. The most entertaining<br />

by far was Oliver Phommavanh who wrote Thai-riffic, a story about a Thai-Australian boy whose parents own a Thai<br />

restaurant, but who longs for a pizza. He goes to great lengths to hide his Thai background but a school project<br />

teaches him to appreciate his parents and culture. Oliver also wrote a chapter in Growing-up Asian in Australia, an<br />

anthology <strong>of</strong> stories written by Asian Australians, edited by Alice Pung and which is held in the library.<br />

It was a most entertaining morning and the girls are now looking forward to more <strong>of</strong> the same when we attend the<br />

Melbourne Writers’ Festival in August.<br />

PERFORMING ARTS DEPARTMENT<br />

Greetings school community,<br />

‘Grease’ The Musical - What a tremendous success!<br />

Congratulations and thank you to everybody who contributed to making our College musical a reality. Special thanks<br />

must go to Sr. <strong>Mary</strong> Moloney, our Principal and Mr McFarlane, Principal <strong>of</strong> Simonds Catholic College for supporting<br />

the production. Thank you to the <strong>Academy</strong> staff who gave up their time during rehearsals, helped backstage with<br />

props, sets and ticketing. The guest appearances <strong>of</strong> Mr De Cata, Ms Doria, Ms Grove and Mr Hyland as Teen Angels<br />

was appreciated. Thank you to our behind the Scenes helpers - Mr McInerney, Ms Harding, Ms Hocking, Ms<br />

Luscombe, Mr Fern, Mr Gatt, Mr Romanin, Ms Neil, Mr Fuller, Mrs Appleby, Ms Kennedy, Mr Bourne, and Ms Salvo.<br />

Past students were also involved - Mille Sedlarevic, Jennifer De Guzman, Rebecca Nutter, Hannah Butler, and Natalie<br />

Taylor. Also a huge thank you must go out to all the parents who helped with sewing the costumes especially Mrs<br />

Morrissey, Mrs Cavedon and donations from Mrs Allegro, Mr and Mrs Vavalà, Mr Rozakeas, and the <strong>Academy</strong><br />

Parents’ Association. Thank you, too, Marian College for the use <strong>of</strong> their props.<br />

‘Grease’ is the <strong>Academy</strong>’s fourth production, following the success <strong>of</strong> ‘Wizard <strong>of</strong> Oz’, ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Leader <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Pack’. This year’s production <strong>of</strong> Grease was a very historical event because it brought together two schools. The<br />

show was put together during hours <strong>of</strong> holiday rehearsals, and lunchtime and after school rehearsals. We thank Mr<br />

Hessey, Producer, Director and, just about everything else, for taking on this huge task.<br />

In Mr Hessey’s words “the show wouldn’t have been possible without our student support”<br />

Production Team - Alex Vavalá, Hariet Darby - Mr Hessey’s Assistants, Caitlin Farrelly – Costumes. Main<br />

Choreographers – Sarah Cardamone, Emily-Rose Guarnuccio. Helpers – Ruby Fleming, Grace Donohoe (also<br />

makeup), Isabella Cavedon, Giulietta Busso, Rebecca Bassett vocal coach.<br />

Finally to everyone who has helped out along the way, your help has not gone unnoticed and we thank you very much.<br />

Musical Report<br />

It’s been 3 weeks, 4 days, 3 hours and 7 minutes since the <strong>Academy</strong>/ Simonds musical “Grease” came to a<br />

spectacular end. For 9 months we have worked closely with a talented cast, an amazing production team and the<br />

fabulous Mr Hessey and to see this musical come to an end is quite sad. Everyone involved this year had amazing<br />

talents but there a few who need special mentions. We had an amazing group <strong>of</strong> choreographers (Isabella Cavedon,<br />

Sarah Cardamone, Emily Guarnuccio & Ruby Fleming) who taught everyone to dance. Rebecca Basset was our vocal<br />

coach who whipped everyone’s voices into shape. Our production team consisted <strong>of</strong> Caitlin Farrrely, Harriet Darby<br />

and myself.<br />

Caitlin was in charge <strong>of</strong> the costume department, designing an individual look for each cast member, rewrote the<br />

script and did our pre-show warm ups. Harriet was our stage manager and over all organiser. She could fix any<br />

problems on stage, find anything that went missing and created all the advertisement. Mr Hessey was our director,<br />

producer, go to man, father figure and friend throughout the musical. His dedication to the musical was infallible and<br />

without him it would never have come to fruition. And as our great maestro would always say to me, “Alex, please<br />

write something about yourself!”<br />

So this is what I got to say...<br />

I was the <strong>of</strong>ficial Nonna (Grandmother) <strong>of</strong> the production. My main job was generally looking out for the cast’s well<br />

being. This entitled feeding them all (they eat so much), keeping them calm (I think it was them who kept me calm in<br />

the end!), making sure all 100 and something costumes were all ironed ready to go (funnily enough, it became my<br />

stress relief), cleaning up after the boys (I swear, I don’t think they know the meaning <strong>of</strong> the word ‘coat hanger’) and<br />

attending to any wardrobe malfunction, scraped knee, emotional breakdown or just for a hug. Anyways, enough about<br />

the awesome talents and let’s talk about the show…<br />

Opening night was a success. Our night began with a mad flurry <strong>of</strong> costumes, make up, hair gel and straighteners but<br />

as usual we were ready to perform by 7.30pm. The main highlight <strong>of</strong> the night was putting makeup on the boys as<br />

they flat out refused. The cast performed to a sold out crowd and received a standing ovation. As the shows continued<br />

the cast consumed countless amounts <strong>of</strong> cordial and food, probably used more than 4 large cans <strong>of</strong> hair spray,<br />

applied numerous layers <strong>of</strong> foundation and used the question “Where is my…” a countless number <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

Somewhere in between all the hype we all came to the realisation that this experience was nearly over. By Saturday<br />

28 th the cast had made a deal to go out with a bang and that we did. That Saturday was our best show. Every note<br />

was hit, every dance step performed and the acting was deserving <strong>of</strong> a Tony Award.<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> the whole cast we would like to thank Mr Hessey for giving us the opportunity to shine on stage and<br />

participate in an event that has left us with memories and friendships that will last a life time.<br />

Alex Vavalá 12 Green<br />

Wow, what an amazing 9 months full <strong>of</strong> blood, sweat and tears. It went and came so quickly. The five performances <strong>of</strong><br />

‘Grease’ were all a success. Opening Night was fantastic and despite a few technical difficulties and a rowdy audience<br />

on the second night but we came through and worked together to keep the show going. The other 3 shows were also<br />

illiant and very fun. I like to thank all the girls and boys who performed you were all amazing and did an excellent job<br />

to make the show great. The boys at Simonds Catholic College were extraordinary. We thought that with no previous<br />

experience from the boys, they wouldn’t make it, but they all surprised us with their hidden dancing, acting and singing<br />

skills. They were amazing to watch and work with, so thank you.<br />

I’d also like to thank Mr. Hessey for his support, his hard work, commitment and encouragement, because without him<br />

this show wouldn’t have happened. So thanks Mr. Hessey.<br />

I hope all <strong>of</strong> you watching had as fun, as we did performing.<br />

So thank you to all who helped, and supported us, you are all very much appreciated.<br />

I hope the next musical is as successful as this one was.<br />

So thank you once again.<br />
