This pastterm has been a busy one, providing students with manyopportunities to be involved in co~curricular activities suchas debating and public speaking, sporting competitions,music concerts, and academic competitions.In addition to the above, the process for selecting studentsfor leadership positions has begun with our Year 11students considering a number of possible leadership roles.This process will continue into Term 4, and at theIt is hard to believe that the conclusion of Term 3 is uponus. It has been yet another busy term with manyopportunities for students to show House spirit with eventssuch as Cross~Country, Chess, Public Speaking, Debatingand Sport all taking place. St Ignatius Day and thewalkathon were a huge success and all of the houses haveshown great generosity in their fundraising efforts for theirrespective charities.Chisholm House has had a wonderful Term 3. Along withraising money, this year we decided to take our fundraisingfurther and run a Baby drive, to raise goods such as babyclothes, nappies, toys and prams in order to support thework that Caroline Chisholm Society does for women andchildren in need. The House Committee were able to deliverthe goods and then spend time volunteering at theorganisation. It was wonderful to see first-hand that thedonations and money we raise go to such a worthy cause.
Ashleigh Daisley (KSSD)andAnnemaree Gerlich (KDHT)MacKillop House has had an exceptional year so far in2013, from placing first in House Athletics to our closesecond in our House Eisteddfod performance of MaryPoppins as well as in our heated Debating and PublicSpeaking Grand Finals. Our main endeavour was tobroaden our means of fundraising, this involved our firstever market stall where MacKillop students donated anyunwanted goods of all sorts. These were then sold on anearly Sunday morning at the La Trobe Market by theteachers and students, with the profits going directlytowards our House Charity ~ MacKillop Family Services.Keelin Galvin (XAFR)andSachira Chandrasekara(XMAC)Being captains of Xavier House this year is something thatneither of us will ever dare to forget. The whole experience,from seeing Eisteddfod come to life during Term 1 tolistening to our debaters take the stage in Term 3 has beennothing short of awesome. Yet the moment we would haveto be most proud of us, is watching over 50 Xavier studentswillingly take to the streets of the local community in supportof our mega raffle, and the rest of the House doing their bitby selling tickets in our attempt to raise funds for thebuilding of a new school in East Timor. This year has trulybeen a privilege.FROM DEPUTY PRINCIPAL(TEACHING AND LEARNING)Ms Bernadette DonnellyDirect Line: 9433 0233parent portal will open on Friday 21 September and closeon Wednesday 9 October at 12.00pm.Unit 4 Trial ExaminationsGood luck to all our students studying a Unit 4 subject whowill be sitting their trial examinations in the Term Threeholidays.
