ACADEMY OF MARY IMMACULATE, FITZROY All Heads of Departments and Year Level Coordinators - Middle Management Leaders - have undertaken professional learning with the aim of assisting them to hone their leadership skills and develop effective teams. 2011 also saw the successful introduction of two VET subjects, Interactive Digital Media and Music at the Academy. These two subjects sit alongside the VET programs offered through the Inner Melbourne VET Cluster and our VCAL program as important senior learning pathways for students. Our fruitful and mutually enriching relationship with Simonds College continues to grow providing the opportunity for both schools to offer a wider range of VCE subjects as well as ensuring there were male leads in the 2011 College Musical, “Grease”! Our new College website was another exciting development encapsulating the story and spirit of the Academy through the visual as well as the written mediums. The website highlights the richness of the Academy Community - students, staff, parents, College Advisory Council Members, Parents’ Association Members and College Alumnae - a diverse yet united community – a happy community. Our Homeroom structure and pastoral care programs continue to be important vehicles to assist us in our desire “to form centred women who are resilient and have a sense of social responsibility in the tradition of Mercy” (College Mission Statement) In 2012 the Academy is celebrating 155 years – “155@88” – another significant milestone. I thank all who form the spirited and dynamic community that is the Academy of Mary Immaculate and I pray that we will all continue to walk in the footsteps of our foundress, Ursula Frayne.
