<strong>2016</strong><br />
When I reflect on this year’s wonderful and loveable<br />
students, while there are many gracious words to<br />
describe you, one word above all others comes to<br />
mind, befriend. The example of your companionship<br />
and accompanying of each other is the hallmark you<br />
brought the college. You will take this with you into an<br />
exacting world, where challenges will test and refine<br />
you as well as bringing you considerable growth and<br />
satisfaction.<br />
I invite you to reflect on this extract from the classic<br />
children’s story Hope for the Flowers written in the<br />
early 70s by Trina Paulus. It is about two caterpillars,<br />
Yellow and Stripe. It is about how they befriend each<br />
other to be themselves, to trust the other, to believe<br />
in their innermost aspirations and hope in risk and the<br />
unexpected – to fly. This is a metaphor about each of<br />
you.<br />
I quote, “Tell me, sir, what is a butterfly? It’s what you<br />
are meant to become. It flies with beautiful wings and<br />
joins the earth to heaven. It drinks only nectar from<br />
the flowers and carries the seeds of love from one<br />
flower to another. Without butterflies, the world would<br />
soon have few flowers.”<br />
And, “Yellow decided to risk to be a butterfly. For<br />
courage, she hung right beside the other cocoon<br />
and began to spin her own. Imagine, I didn’t know I<br />
could do this. That’s some encouragement that I’m on<br />
the right track. If I have the stuff inside me to make<br />
cocoons – may be the stuff of butterflies is there too.”<br />
And, “We can fly! We can become butterflies! There’s<br />
nothing at the top and it doesn’t matter! As he heard<br />
his own message he realised how he had misread<br />
the instinct to get high. To get to the top he must fly<br />
not climb.”<br />
What does this story teach us about what it means to<br />
befriend?<br />
B – Beacons of hope, beautiful, brave<br />
E – enthusiastic, energetic, ethical<br />
F – faithful, focused, flexible<br />
R – real, reverence, ready<br />
I – integrity, imaginative, individual<br />
E – engaged, educated, effective<br />
N – natural, negotiators, navigators<br />
D – discoverers, decisive, deliberate<br />
How do I befriend others?<br />
How do I make these ideals real in my life and in the<br />
world?<br />
As students of SAC you will be challenged as St<br />
Andrew was, to be a real friend – to act with integrity,<br />
insight, intuition, initiative and point to the heart of<br />
justice (Jesus) – perfect righteousness, heightened<br />
morality, being an agent of God’s love.<br />
As a student of SAC, you will draw on the central<br />
reason for your life: to praise, reverence and serve<br />
God. This is our first principle and foundation for all<br />
our relationships, actions and work.<br />
As a student of SAC, you will walk and seek love, the<br />
love that brings compassion, sensitivity to the other<br />
and unity of hearts and minds.<br />
I return to Hope for the Flowers. You will be the Yellows<br />
and Stripes of this world, “it takes lots of butterflies to<br />
make a world full of flowers.” If anyone can succeed<br />
in this mission, it is you, each of you. I believe in you,<br />
you are loved very much; now fly with all your heart,<br />
doing good wherever you go, so that you will always<br />
join earth to heaven.<br />
Be thankful for another great year at the college.<br />
Now fly, doing more going beyond.<br />

OUR<br />
ACADEMIC<br />
LIFE
PRIZELIST<br />
The College annually awards prizes to students to<br />
recognise their achievements across the range of<br />
school activities. In each of <strong>Year</strong>s 7 to 12, Academic<br />
Excellence awards are made to students on the basis<br />
of their assessment results over the whole year.<br />
From these, the highest-placed student is awarded<br />
the Dux prize, with a second and third place also<br />
awarded. In <strong>Year</strong>s 11 and 12 different subjects are<br />
compared with each other using the same techniques<br />
used to compare subjects in the production of the<br />
Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank, in order to<br />
gain a fair comparison of the students’ performance.<br />
First Place in Course, like Academic Excellence, is<br />
awarded on the whole year’s assessment results,<br />
and is awarded to the student gaining the highest<br />
place out of all the students taking that subject, no<br />
matter how many students take the subject. Where<br />
there are several levels of a course, a trophy is also<br />
awarded in lower-level courses to the student who<br />
gains the highest place out of those doing the course<br />
only at that level. In <strong>Year</strong> 12, four of the trophies<br />
for first place in course are named for members<br />
of our school community who have passed away.<br />
School Blues are awarded to students on the basis<br />
of sporting and other representative achievements.<br />
Students may excel in a single activity or across a<br />
range of activities. Winning of age championships,<br />
leadership of a House, representation of the College,<br />
setting of records, and representation at higher levels<br />
all contribute towards the achievement of a Blue.<br />
In individual subjects, certificates are also awarded<br />
in <strong>Year</strong>s 11 and 12 to students who not being the top<br />
student in the course are placed in the top 10%. In<br />
<strong>Year</strong>s 7 to 10, students who are first in their class while<br />
not being first in the whole year group, or who are the<br />
most improved in their class, also receive a certificate.<br />
In <strong>Year</strong> 8 two trophies are awarded for members<br />
of our school community who have passed away.<br />
The St Andrews Award and the St Andrews<br />
Ambassador’s Award recognise students who, like St<br />
Andrew, influenced others through their outstanding<br />
Catholic Christian ethic, character, leadership and<br />
virtue. They personify all the values we as a community<br />
endorse and to which we aspire. The St Andrews<br />
Award is awarded to a <strong>Year</strong> 12 student each year.<br />
The St Andrews Ambassador’s Award is presented<br />
to a student in <strong>Year</strong> 7 through to <strong>Year</strong> 11 each year.<br />
Personal Bests are a central value of the<br />
St Andrews College ethos. Consequently,<br />
we award Outstanding Effort certificates to<br />
students who are given the top rating for effort<br />
in all of their subjects on both reports for the year.<br />
Congratulations to each student who is acknowledged<br />
on the following pages. Be proud of your<br />
achievements, and know they are the result of your<br />
own hard work building on the gifts and graces given<br />
to you by your God, your parents and your teachers.<br />
The College greatly values a spirit of service among<br />
our students, and awards certificates for service<br />
to students who are involved in groups such as St<br />
Vincent de Paul, Caritas and Amnesty International;<br />
to students who serve their peers through work<br />
within the College such as acting as exam readers<br />
and writers or College events; and to students<br />
who contribute to society beyond the College.<br />

ASSEMBLY FOR 2015 H<br />
The first Senior Campus Assembly held on Friday<br />
the 12 th of February celebrated the outstanding 2015<br />
HSC results.<br />
Twelve St Andrews College students achieved an<br />
ATAR of over 90. Our ATAR Dux Joanna Chapko<br />
achieved an ATAR of 98.10, ATAR 2nd Place Alexia<br />
Newsome achieved an ATAR of 96.90, ATAR 3rd<br />
Place Shannon Dias achieved an ATAR of 96.00.<br />
Shannon also achieved 10th place in the State for<br />
Design and Technology.<br />
course of study or a Band E4 in an extension course.<br />
In 2015 these students collectively achieved 44 Band<br />
6 or Band E4 results.<br />
Joanna Chapko and Alexia Newsome encouraged<br />
our current <strong>Year</strong> 12 and <strong>Year</strong> 11 students to be<br />
organised and well prepared.<br />
“The HSC is an internal battle of how you cope<br />
against the pressure and how you learn to forgive<br />
yourself”, says Joanna. She believes that you do this<br />
by acknowledging the bad, embracing the good, and<br />
moving on.<br />
The following students all achieved ATARs above<br />
90: Nicole Cadelina; Eden Corbett; Shaurya Issar;<br />
Aaron O’Callaghan; Bianca Raviraj; Andrew Santoso;<br />
Atchaya Senthilkumar; Kanwalnoor Singh and<br />
Candace Sy.<br />
Twenty-one students were listed on the 2015 HSC<br />
Distinguished Achievers List for achieving Band 6 in a<br />
The College Leadership Team extends their<br />
congratulations to the students and commends the<br />
teachers who mentored them along the way.<br />
“Our student’s outstanding achievements are the<br />
result of engaged teaching and high self motivation”,<br />
said Mr Nic Vidot, Principal. “Each student has<br />
enhanced their outcomes through participation in the<br />
full life of the college, Congratulations!”<br />

EXTENSION MATHS STUDENTS DAY<br />
On the 7th of June, the Mathematics Extension 1<br />
and 2 students attended the Enrichment Day at The<br />
University of Sydney. University lecturers together<br />
with some experienced Mathematics Extension 2<br />
teachers developed the day to support and inspire<br />
students studying these challenging courses.<br />
The purpose of the day was for the students to:<br />
• learn how their current study of mathematics opens<br />
up a range of rewarding career opportunities;<br />
• hear about some of the ways mathematics is used<br />
to solve real world problems;<br />
• be exposed to areas of mathematics which they<br />
may not have encountered before;<br />
• attend two talks on Extension 1 or Extension 2<br />
syllabus topics which interest them or which they<br />
need support with;<br />
• mix with students from other schools who<br />
are interested in Mathematics and are talented<br />
Mathematicians.<br />
The lectures the students chose to attend, extended<br />
their mathematics into areas such as Quantum<br />
Physics, The Shape of the Universe, Mathematics and<br />
Billiards and even The Mathematics of Spiderman,<br />
where they investigated how Calculus could be<br />
applied in alternate realities.<br />
The students were able to explore the University,<br />
attend lectures and get their first taste of what<br />
University life is all about. In all, it was a most<br />
rewarding and enjoyable day for the students.<br />

STATIONS OF
THE CROSS<br />
“Stations of the Cross” at St Andrews College is<br />
a Senior Drama class tradition, and this year we<br />
continued with our cross curricular work with the<br />
Religion Department, VET Entertainment and of<br />
course <strong>Year</strong> 11 Drama.<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 11 Drama students were given four weeks to<br />
playbuild a performance for Holy Thursday focussing<br />
on the Stations of the Cross, using Brechtian style<br />
theatrical devices such as chorus work and banners,<br />
as well as improvisational skills, and refined acting.<br />
They were also asked to incorporate our Pope’s<br />
message of Mercy for the <strong>Year</strong> of Mercy.<br />
The VET Entertainment students helped create the<br />
introductory powerpoint that helped students focus<br />
on the messages of the Stations, as well as ensuring,<br />
students were prepared for the performance. They<br />
were also required to help set up appropriate staging<br />
and movement of set pieces between both campuses.<br />
Students and staff on both Junior and Senior<br />
Campuses were taken along the final steps of Jesus’<br />
journey, and there were indeed many students and<br />
staff left speechless by the final image.<br />
It is always an honour to be asked to produce this,<br />
and by incorporating it into the <strong>Year</strong> 11 Drama<br />
assessment schedule students see how to go about<br />
producing work in a short period of time, which is<br />
something many were not used to.<br />
Well done to all students involved. Our thanks to Mrs<br />
Welch for her coordination, Mr Said, Ms Ryan for<br />
photos and videoing and Mr McLoughlin for driving<br />
the bus to and from each campus.<br />

BRASSERIE TOUR FIELDWORK
YEAR 12 GEOGRAPHY FIELDWORK<br />
PYRMONT & CBD<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 12 Geography students travelled by train from<br />
Blacktown to Town Hall to observe the operation of<br />
urban dynamics in the CBD and Pyrmont. It was a<br />
beautiful day as we walked through various parts<br />
of Pyrmont to observe the changes that took place<br />
over the last century. The old wharves, renewal of<br />
Darling Harbour, the conversion from heavy rail<br />
to light rail, the gentrification of old cottages, the<br />
protection of heritage, the establishment of new<br />
commercial enterprises, the construction of modern<br />
apartments and the transformation to parkland<br />
along the foreshore demonstrate the significance<br />
of the urban renewal of a suburb that once had the<br />
unenviable reputation of ageing industries, a polluted<br />
environment and social disintegration. The group<br />
marvelled at the Ways Terrace, a listed heritage<br />
building that has the only heritage listed clothes lines<br />
in Australia. Students observed, photographed and<br />
discussed the geographical issues past and present.<br />
The highlight of the day was the ferry trip from Pyrmont<br />
to Circular Quay via Balmain. This provided a much<br />
needed rest for tired feet and the chance to observe<br />
changes in the CBD from a different perspective. The<br />
changes along George Street were noted with the<br />
construction of the new light rail. There was chaos,<br />
noise and confusion with construction vehicles<br />
reversing and pedestrians trying to make their way<br />
through the lunch hour crowds. A much needed late<br />
lunch at the Queen Victoria Building was enjoyed by<br />
all. The completion of this fieldwork formed the basis<br />
of a major assessment task, but it is in understanding<br />
of the workings of the beautiful city of Sydney that the<br />
value of this fieldwork is revealed.<br />

YEAR 11 GEOGRA<br />
BOTANY BAY<br />
On Friday the 26 th of February <strong>Year</strong> 11 Geography<br />
students, accompanied by Ms Smith and Mr<br />
Johnson, departed on the school bus for their peak<br />
hour crawl across Sydney to the container port at<br />
Botany Bay. We viewed the Orica site and discussed<br />
the environmental damage that has arisen from<br />
the breaching of the plastic cell that holds highly<br />
contaminated waste beneath the site. Our arrival<br />
at the container terminal coincided with a strong<br />
southerly change and gale force winds. The container<br />
terminal has been expanded to accommodate the<br />
demand for trade in and out of Sydney. We were<br />
able to gain access to one site in order to observe<br />
all the impacts on the local environment including the<br />
dredging operations.<br />
After recording information for our field notes and<br />
taking many photos we moved on to Brighton-le-<br />
Sands to take field measurements of the beach and<br />
examine human impacts on the coastal system. Once<br />
again this was challenging with strong winds and<br />
students attempting to take a range of measurements.<br />
The group was looking at the impact of TC Winston<br />
as the waves built in height and frequency. Our next<br />
two stops allowed us to observe the impact of sand<br />
mining on the Kurnell peninsula. Mining has been<br />
so extensive that the peninsula is now at risk of<br />
becoming an island again. Large lakes up to eight<br />
metres deep can now be found where the enormous<br />
sand dunes once stood. We explored a new suburb<br />
that is being built on a section of the mined dunes.<br />
Awareness of the fragility of the peninsula raised<br />
interesting questions about the sustainability of such<br />
a development.<br />
We continued on our way to stop at the Caltex Oil<br />
Refinery and the desalination plant. There was<br />
much discussion regarding the impacts on the local<br />
environment and the sheer size of the desalination<br />
project. The recent tornado had caused extensive<br />
damage to the desalination plant and to the Caltex<br />
site. Fallen trees, broken windows, damaged<br />
structures and power lines attested to the strength of<br />
this small tornado.<br />
Mr Johnson drove us through the back entrance of<br />
Botany Bay National Park over nine speed humps<br />
until we reached the fantastic sandstone cliffs. The<br />
group followed the usual tradition and climbed down<br />
44
PHY FIELDWORK<br />
& KURNELL<br />
towards the rock pools and high tide platform. Ms<br />
Smith took a class photo as evidence! Our final stop<br />
was at Silver Beach to examine the rock groynes<br />
along the beach, the Caltex pipeline that extends<br />
into the bay and the intake pipes for the desalination<br />
plant. Once again we were able to view the erosion<br />
due to recent storm activity.<br />
We completed seven stops around the bay only<br />
to finish off with lunch at McDonalds. Everyone<br />
in the group made a fantastic contribution to<br />
the day, taking measurements, getting wet feet,<br />
recording observations, taking photos and asking<br />
insightful questions. We usually only go out on days<br />
experiencing a weather anomaly and this fieldwork<br />
was no exception. What an amazing part of Sydney<br />
and we learned so much about a coastal region and<br />
how people can change it and often not for the best.<br />

YEAR 11 SCIENCE<br />
Our local environment affects not only us but also<br />
all the living things that are found there. Each local<br />
environment possesses unique physical, chemical<br />
geological and biological features. These features<br />
interact and are often connected by the operation of<br />
natural cycles. The interactions between organisms<br />
and their environments are often complex and not<br />
immediately obvious. The study of ecology enables<br />
us to understand these interactions. Studying a local<br />
ecosystem can give us an insight into how other<br />
ecosystems function.<br />
Penrith Lakes was the local ecosystem chosen as a<br />
field study for the <strong>Year</strong> 11 Biology and Senior Science<br />
students. The students measured and analysed the<br />
biotic and abiotic factors operating at Penrith Lakes<br />
to assess the health of the ecosystem.<br />
Abiotic factors tested were temperature, pH, turbidity,<br />
slope, light and phosphate. These were carried out<br />
using the appropriate instrumentation.<br />
Biotic factors measured were the abundance<br />
and distribution of birds, macro invertebrates and<br />
vegetation. These were carried out by observing and<br />
counting the number and species of birds present,<br />
dipnetting and transect/quadrat methodology<br />
respectively.<br />
Students made the following comments:<br />
“It was a great experience, the hands-on learning<br />
allowed a more effective understanding of<br />
ecosystems”<br />
“Enjoyable learning practical lesson.”<br />
“The dipnetting was fun, bird watching was fun and<br />
the instructors were very knowledgeable. I learnt<br />
a lot overall about the quality of water and healthy<br />
ecosystems”<br />
The Penrith Lakes Education Officers were impressed<br />
with our students’ enthusiasm and engagement with<br />
the field studies.<br />

ANSTO EXCURSION<br />
On the 6th of September both <strong>Year</strong> 12 Chemistry<br />
and <strong>Year</strong> 12 Physics students visited ANSTO. This<br />
excursion was divided in two parts. The first involved<br />
a visit to the nuclear reactor and the second a lecture<br />
on nuclear technology and its uses.<br />
The tour of the nuclear reactor provided the students<br />
an insight to the processes involved in a research<br />
nuclear reactor. They learned that this reactor plays<br />
a vital role in society by functioning as a “Neutron<br />
Factory” producing radioisotopes for cancer detection,<br />
treatment and neutron beams for fundamental<br />
materials research. They had a rare opportunity to<br />
see the nuclear reactor in action and were able to<br />
see how the radioactive isotopes used for various<br />
applications such as nuclear medicine, engineering<br />
and agriculture are produced in the nuclear reactor<br />
before being dispatched to other states and countries.<br />
At the Discovery Centre in ANSTO, students<br />
were given a lecture related to the production and<br />
applications of radioisotopes. They even learned, and<br />
were surprised, that there was a good chance that<br />
the mobile phones that they were holding contained<br />
silicon that derived from the silicon ingot that had<br />
been irradiated by the nuclear reactor at ANSTO.<br />
Throughout the whole excursion students were given<br />
opportunities to clarify any questions related to their<br />
curriculum and the various professions involved in<br />
ANSTO and related fields.<br />
Mr Raj Jayaratna<br />

MUSEUM OF HUMAN DISEASE<br />
On the 31st of October <strong>Year</strong> 12 Biology and Senior<br />
Science students visited the Museum of Human<br />
Disease at the University of New South Wales.<br />
On arrival, students were given an introductory<br />
presentation about the museum. Students then spent<br />
time viewing specimens of diseased tissues in the<br />
museum and completing digital and paper worksheets<br />
that have been developed specifically to address the<br />
Biology and Senior Science HSC content.<br />
It was evident that the students enjoyed their visit to<br />
the Museum of Human Disease, because it was full<br />
of interesting and confronting specimens that held<br />
their attention throughout the day. It also gave the<br />
students an insight on cause and effect of correct<br />
lifestyle choices.<br />
Caroline O’Hare<br />
Leader of Learning – Science (Senior)<br />
The museum’s exhibition covers a huge range (around<br />
3000 specimens) of infectious and non-infectious<br />
diseases as well as those associated with lifestyle.<br />
Each specimen was accompanied by a clinical<br />
history of the donor. This was especially relevant to<br />
the assessment task for the Biology students.<br />
Of particular interest to the Senior Science students<br />
was the Bionics display which included a range of<br />
biomedical devices such as the pace maker, cochlear<br />
and prosthetic limbs and their development over the<br />
years.<br />
49
KICKSTART PHYS<br />
On the 17 th of August all <strong>Year</strong> 12 Physics students<br />
participated in the excursion to the Kickstart Physics<br />
Workshop. On that day, they had an early start,<br />
meeting at Blacktown Station, travelling to Redfern<br />
station and then walking to The University of Sydney<br />
as many hundreds and thousands of university<br />
students do.<br />
Upon arrival they had a chance to browse among<br />
some archived physics apparatus displayed in the<br />
Physics Department at The University of Sydney.<br />
Then they were given a tour, by the host of the<br />
Kickstart Program, of the newly opened Nanoscience<br />
Laboratory (one of the very few research facilities of<br />
this kind in the world.) This was a great opportunity<br />
for our students, as it enabled the students to<br />
see how scientists are pushing the boundaries<br />
of Physics by trying to discover and harness new<br />
science at nanoscale level, in an absolutely dust<br />
free environment. Many students came to realise,<br />
the importance of the utilisation of creativity and<br />
imagination within physics for future discoveries and<br />
technologies, which have only just begun to scratch<br />
the surface.<br />
After visiting the Nanoscience Laboratory and other<br />
research facilities within the Physics Department,<br />
students spent several hours doing the workshop<br />
where they rotated through different experiments<br />
related to the topic they have studied, “From Ideas<br />
to Implementation”. This workshop took place in<br />
the second year physics laboratory. Each rotation<br />
consisted of a demonstration that was conducted<br />
by a dynamic demonstrator and covered highlights<br />
of the syllabus in depth. The students gathered and<br />
analysed first hand data to calculate very important<br />
constants in physics such as speed of light, charge<br />
to mass ratio of electron, Planck’s constant etc.<br />
Overall, this excursion helped our students in two<br />
ways, one, to succeed in the upcoming HSC Physics<br />
Examination and two; to think about possible<br />
pathways for their tertiary education.<br />

WARRAGA<br />
Water is one of the most important resources<br />
used by man. It is used everyday for consumption,<br />
recreation, transport, industry and agriculture. These<br />
human activities have a huge impact on waterways.<br />
In the HSC Chemistry course the students learn about<br />
the human impacts on waterways and the ways that<br />
these impacts are monitored and managed.<br />
The excursion to Warragamba Dam and the Orchard<br />
Hills Water Filtration Plant reinforced the learning in<br />
the classroom.<br />
Upon arriving at Warragamba Dam not only were the<br />
students amazed at how beautiful and pristine the<br />
dam looked but also at how massive. The dam is the<br />
main supply for all of Sydney’s water, and it is Water<br />
NSW’s responsibility to maintain the quality of the<br />
water. Students were shown the different ways that<br />
this was done and the parameters and criteria that<br />
were used to monitor the water’s quality. Students<br />
even carried out tests and analysed data on the<br />
water from the dam and a sediment pond.<br />
After exploring the dam wall and having a quick<br />
lunch, the students were then taken to the Orchard<br />
Hills Water Filtration Plant for a tour.<br />
On this part of the excursion the students saw the<br />
“raw water” supplied from Warragamba Dam enter<br />
the plant and followed the chemical and physical<br />
processes involved in its conversion to the drinking<br />
tap water we get in our homes.<br />
On this excursion students gained an insight on the<br />
work done behind the scenes that allow us to have<br />
clean water. They saw “chemistry in action” and<br />
began to appreciate the important role that scientists<br />
play every day in our society.<br />

BAXTER HE<br />
A lot of the time when we purchase a finished product<br />
we do not know or think of the different processes<br />
and steps involved in the conversion from the raw<br />
materials to the finished products.<br />
HSC Chemistry students have studied four topics:<br />
“Production of Materials”, “The Acidic Environment”,<br />
“Chemical Monitoring and Management” and<br />
“Industrial Chemistry”. In these units students have<br />
gained an understanding of the requirements for<br />
the manufacturing of many different products. They<br />
have learned that the properties of the materials<br />
used in production need to be considered along with<br />
any environmental considerations. Monitoring of<br />
the manufacturing processes from the beginning to<br />
the end is important and if not done properly could<br />
become costly. The students have also learned how<br />
scientists need to work collaboratively with other<br />
disciplines in order for the business to be effective.<br />
The visit to Baxter Healthcare demonstrated all these<br />
principles to the <strong>Year</strong> 12 Chemistry students.<br />
The tour began with a welcome and a site<br />
introduction. The students were then given a tour of<br />
the plant where they “followed” the steps involved in<br />
the manufacturing of a product (I.V. Saline Solution)<br />
from the beginning of its production to its final<br />
dispatch. The tour also included a visit to the Quality<br />
Control Laboratories where the Head Chemist and<br />
Head Microbiologist described the different quality<br />
control tests that are conducted on a daily basis.<br />
Both parts of the tour emphasised the stringent care<br />
and control taken in all aspects of the manufacturing<br />
process.<br />
Although the tour focus was about the processes<br />
involved in manufacture and production the students<br />
also learned of the commitment to environmentally<br />
conscious practices.<br />

THE VICTOR CH<br />
For the past nine years Blacktown City Council, in<br />
conjunction with the Victor Chang Cardiac Research<br />
Institute, invited schools within the Blacktown region<br />
to nominate students to be the recipient of the Victor<br />
Chang Research Institute School Science Award.<br />
This year sixty students from twenty-three schools in<br />
the area were nominated. The award is given to the<br />
best <strong>Year</strong> 11 science student in each school.<br />
Cardiovascular disease is the largest killer in Australia<br />
and the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute<br />
(VCCRI) is dedicated to fighting cardiovascular<br />
disease through research.<br />
On the 8 th of November Christian, Jonathan and<br />
Anthony attended a presentation ceremony at the<br />
Blacktown City Council Chambers. The ceremony<br />
began with an address from the Mayor of Blacktown,<br />
Councillor Stephen Bali, followed by a presentation<br />
by Dr Ghassan Maghzal, a representative from the<br />
VCCRI, who spoke of the importance of science<br />
in our society. The awards were then presented to<br />
Christian, Jonathan and Anthony. In addition to this<br />
award there was an invitation to spend time at the<br />
Institute to learn first-hand about its activities and<br />
about career opportunities.<br />
Caroline O’Hare<br />
Leader of Learning - Science<br />
“Surgery can save thousands, research can save<br />
millions.”<br />
The institute recognises that to be able to combat this<br />
disease it needs excellent scientists with different<br />
skill sets and one of the most important resources<br />
for these scientists are the students in Australian<br />
schools. It is in schools that the highest level of<br />
educational achievement, innovation and creativity<br />
occurs and to encourage students to pursue a career<br />
in science the Victor Chang Award was introduced.<br />
In consultation with all the <strong>Year</strong> 11 Science teachers<br />
at St Andrews College the following students were<br />
recognised to be the best science students in <strong>Year</strong><br />
11: Alyana Cabral, Christian Canete, Bailey Gravina,<br />
Jonathan Koong, Stephanie Magno, Joel Mathias,<br />
Taraswin Maynoor, Thien-Ly Nguyen, Anthony<br />
Tolentino and Georgia Topalovic.<br />
From this very strong field of candidates three<br />
students were selected to be the recipients of<br />
the Victor Chang Award due to their consistent<br />
outstanding efforts and achievements in the Science<br />
courses that they undertook. These students were<br />
Christian Canete, Jonathan Koong and Anthony<br />
Tolentino.<br />

Erin is a great ambassador for Entertainment.<br />
Through her participation in many events outside of<br />
the classroom and her enthusiasm she has inspired<br />
her peers within the course.<br />
Erin says that leaving the school grounds and working<br />
with unfamiliar faces has greatly improved her<br />
communication skills and made her more personable<br />
and comfortable with her peers.<br />
“I was previously quite a shy student but this course<br />
has pushed me out of my comfort zone and my onthe-job<br />
training has improved my performance in<br />
class”, said Erin.<br />
“There is no area in which I have not improved as a<br />
result of this training and consequently my value for<br />
my learning has never been stronger”, Erin continued.<br />
Erin is always looking at opportunities to extend<br />
her skills or apply what she has learned in class by<br />
volunteering for events both at school and through<br />
a range of employers. She is exceptional and her<br />
supervisors and other teachers have commented on<br />
her reliability, leadership skills and professionalism.<br />
Erin has demonstrated outstanding proficiency in<br />
lighting, audio and stage management and sound.<br />
Due to her high degree of technical skills, in November<br />
last year, Erin represented St Andrews College in the<br />

ASH WED<br />
On the 10th of February the College marked the<br />
beginning of Lent by attending Ash Wednesday<br />
Masses.<br />
In this <strong>Year</strong> of Mercy, Pope Francis wants us to focus<br />
on Jesus’ word. During Lent we are called to search<br />
for God’s mercy in our lives. We can find God’s mercy<br />
by opening our hearts to the works of the Holy Spirit<br />
in our lives.<br />
This Lent we are particularly challenged to open<br />
ourselves - to open our eyes and hearts and arms<br />
to others. Our Lenten journey is one that can help us<br />
reflect the face of Christ to others, to be people for<br />
others and look for ways we can be open.<br />

R U OK<br />
78
? DAY<br />
‘R U OK? Day’ was held on Thursday the 8 th of<br />
September. The day is designed to help achieve a<br />
world where we are all connected and are protected<br />
from suicide. This can be achieved by encouraging<br />
and equipping everyone with the skills to regularly<br />
and meaningfully ask “Are you OK?”<br />
So many people in our world struggle with the<br />
different pressures that life brings and feel alone as<br />
if they have no one to turn to. By inspiring people to<br />
take the time to ask “Are you OK?” and listen, we<br />
can help people who are struggling with life to feel<br />
connected. It all comes down to regular face-to-face,<br />
meaningful conversations about life and asking “Are<br />
you OK?” is a great place to start.<br />
At a Junior Assembly, students from the Vinnies<br />
Group wore temporary tattoos of scars on their faces<br />
that represented a very important notion that people<br />
often forget - not all pain can be seen.<br />
Some people think that with emotional abuse, the<br />
pain isn’t there because it can’t be seen, but the pain<br />
is and it is very real. So the Vinnies Group decided to<br />
wear the tattoos to show how the emotional effects<br />
of bullying stay with you day to day. Just because<br />
you can’t see what someone is dealing with,<br />
doesn’t mean that it’s not with them constantly and<br />
sometimes it’s just something you can’t ignore. This<br />
is why it’s so important to speak up about things that<br />
you’re dealing with. It is okay to ask for help and it’s<br />
okay to be feeling the things you’re feeling.<br />
Not all pain can be seen…<br />
We have all suffered with something…<br />
We have all been through a battle…<br />
We all have scars…<br />
We have all been burnt by someone…<br />
But what that person doesn’t see is the pain that is<br />
left with someone. They don’t see that we carry that<br />
pain with us everywhere; all over us. Just because<br />
it’s on the inside doesn’t mean the pain doesn’t exist.<br />
It is okay to show your pain, it’s okay to speak out.<br />
There are people who care about you. Don’t hide<br />
your inner scars.<br />
As another way to raise awareness and funds for<br />
“R U OK?” Day, the Vinnies Group held a cupcake<br />
stall and sold yellow cakes and official “R U OK?”<br />
wristbands. It was fantastic to see so many staff and<br />
students get behind this initiative and support such<br />
an important cause. We were able to raise over $350<br />
that will be donated to the “R U OK?” charity.<br />
Thank you to all staff and students who helped out<br />
with this fundraiser.<br />
Always remember, reach out to your friends and<br />
please know that you’re never alone.<br />

THE BUTTER<br />
On Wednesday the 22 nd of June, <strong>Year</strong> 9 took part in<br />
an all day Pastoral Program.<br />
The female students attended The Butterfly Effect -<br />
Enlightened Education Program.<br />
The program was a huge success for the students!<br />
Issues such as self esteem, asserting yourself,<br />
respectful relationships, stress and how to deal with<br />
it, affirmations and having a healthy body/mind, were<br />
on the agenda for the day. I’d like to thank <strong>Year</strong> 9<br />
for representing our College in a fantastic way and<br />
getting involved in all of the activities.<br />
Here are testimonials from two <strong>Year</strong> 9 girls:<br />
“We had a great day getting to know Chloe –<br />
she was lovely. My favourite part was the friends<br />
affirmation session. I don’t think we tell our friends<br />
how much they mean to us yet the value in doing<br />
this is important for all of us. I learnt that we can<br />
be self-destructive and how much there is we can<br />
do to build ourselves and those around us up. The<br />
media is playing a big part in this problem... we<br />
are all beautiful. This is a message that EVERY<br />
GIRL needs to hear! Thanks so much.”<br />
“Before the workshop, my friends and I were<br />
groaning about having to go and not looking<br />
forward to what we thought would be a boring<br />
day. However the sessions defied all of our<br />
expectations! Everyone was talking about how<br />
much they enjoyed the workshop and were<br />
reciting the funny yet inspiring quotes like ‘I am<br />
an Amazon’ and ‘Stop! I don’t like it!’. It was truly<br />
an inspirational, hilarious and extremely fun<br />
workshop.”<br />
I look forward to seeing how the students use the<br />
skills they have learnt on this day in the future.<br />

BROTHER ALBERT NURSING<br />
For the last few years, <strong>Year</strong> 12 students have been<br />
given a worthwhile and rewarding opportunity to visit<br />
the Brother Albert Home for the Aged, leading up to<br />
Christmas.<br />
This year, on Thursday the 8th of December, 22<br />
students along with three staff, visited the nursing<br />
home and entertained the elderly residents for an<br />
hour. The aim of the day was to bring some joy, fun<br />
and Christmas cheer to the elderly residents and to<br />
provide some social interaction, with people outside<br />
of the nursing home.<br />
Mr Chiappetta’s music class along with ten other <strong>Year</strong><br />
12 students performed a variety of Christmas Carols<br />
on the day. We then had some beautiful musical<br />
performances by Ly Nguyen, Cindy Grecia, Jeremy<br />
Sibucao and Brian Evangelista. One of the highlights<br />
of the performances was the Chopin piano piece by<br />
Ly Nguyen, as this is by a Polish composer and it<br />
resonated well with the Polish residents.<br />
After the musical performances, students then walked<br />
around and chatted with the elderly residents and<br />
handed out treats and Christmas cards written by our<br />
students, in both Polish and English. The residents<br />
embraced the presence of the staff and students<br />
alike and it was wonderful to see their delight.<br />
It was an extremely touching experience for our<br />
students, with some of the students getting emotional<br />
during their social interaction with the elderly<br />
residents. All of the students said they would like to<br />
do it again, if they had the chance.<br />
I would like to thank Mr Chiappetta and Mrs Beecroft<br />
for their support and effort in the running of this event.<br />

AUSTRALIAN SCOUT<br />
MEDALLION AWARD<br />
Lochlan Fraser is a <strong>Year</strong> 10 student who came to St<br />
Andrews College from St Andrews Primary School.<br />
He has been a member of the Scout movement since<br />
joining cubs in 2009 at 1st Quakers Hill/Doonside. He<br />
progressed through the ranks of Cubs and Scouts<br />
(having been promoted to Patrol Leader) and has<br />
moved onto Venturers.<br />
Lochlan has sought to earn badges (merit<br />
achievements) along the way for different activities<br />
in various tasks and challenges. Some examples of<br />
these include designing pamphlets for an allocated<br />
topic and creating a book of puzzles and pictures for<br />
younger children based on The Jungle <strong>Book</strong> up to and<br />
including physical challenges. He has earned badges<br />
for rock-climbing, abseiling, religion, literature,<br />
handcrafts, music, space, codes and signals, cooking<br />
and leadership courses. Some of these badges have<br />
been achieved through a combination of work at<br />
home and at school.<br />
Some of his projects have been quite detailed and<br />
have been both time-consuming and requiring a great<br />
deal of effort. He has also been on Jamboree camps<br />
where up to 15,000 scouts converge to celebrate<br />
their skills, knowledge and camaraderie.<br />
Lochlan’s family has supported him on his long<br />
journey by providing support, encouragement,<br />
financial assistance and transport.<br />
Lochlan has just completed the requirements for the<br />
Green Cord and Australian Scout Medallion awards.<br />
These milestones are the highest achievements in<br />
Scouts.<br />
The Green Cord project involved Lochlan<br />
independently planning and being responsible for<br />
provisions and other requirements for his team<br />
when they completed a 36km hike, which was<br />
accomplished in high temperatures on Saturday the<br />
5 th of March at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains with<br />
limited adult supervision (only to ensure the safety<br />
of the competitors and judge that they had met the<br />
requirements of the challenge and had qualified).<br />
This task carried a huge responsibility and he met<br />
the challenge and achieved his goal by working hard.<br />
He required numerous skills including orienteering,<br />
first aid, survival and camping skills to complete the<br />
challenge and meet the requirements for the Green<br />
Cord.<br />
These awards have been achieved and are the<br />
culmination of eight years of continuous hard<br />
work and commitment. Lochlan is an example of a<br />
determined student who has excelled outside of the<br />
usual curriculum subjects.<br />
Congratulations to Lochlan for all his hard work and<br />
his commitment to achieving these awards.<br />
His next goal is to work towards the Queen’s Scout<br />
award and the Duke of Edinburgh International award.<br />

PEER SU
PPORT<br />
In Term 1 our <strong>Year</strong> 10 Peer Support Leaders and<br />
their Assistants ran a Peer Support Program with our<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 7 students. The module they ran this year was<br />
“Behaving with Integrity”. Peer Support was a huge<br />
success – and a big thank you and congratulations<br />
must go to our <strong>Year</strong> 10 Peer Support Leaders and<br />
their Assistants. They have done a tremendous job<br />
helping our new <strong>Year</strong> 7 students to settle in – going<br />
out of their way to take them to classrooms, answer<br />
all their questions and just giving them a few tips<br />
on how to cope with homework and high school in<br />
general, although Peer Support only runs during<br />
Term 1, I’m sure the friendships and bonds that were<br />
formed during Peer Support will continue throughout<br />
the year. As you can see from the photos of the Peer<br />
Support Party, Peer Support was a positive and<br />
uplifting experience. Well done <strong>Year</strong> 7 and your Peer<br />
Support Leaders!<br />

PANCAK<br />
On the 9 th of February the St Vincent de Paul Society<br />
committee had organised a day of selling delicious<br />
pancakes at lunch to the students and staff of St<br />
Andrews College.<br />
On Shrove Tuesday, families would consume foods<br />
such as meats, fats, eggs, milks and fish as they are<br />
regarded as “restricted” during the time of Lent.<br />
On this day we were able to work as a team and raise<br />
money for Vinnies as well as preparing ourselves<br />
for this special tradition of the Christian faith. It was<br />
a very successful day for the Vinnies Team and the<br />
students as we were able to sell all of the pancakes<br />
that we cooked ourselves. We wouldn’t have been<br />
able to do all of this without the help of Mrs Melki as<br />
well as all the students and staff.<br />

On the 12 th of February <strong>2016</strong>, the <strong>Year</strong> 12 Vinnies<br />
Team delivered roses to the students and teachers<br />
in celebration of St Valentine’s Day. This year,<br />
500 roses were sold across the Junior and Senior<br />
Campuses with all proceeds given to the St Vincent<br />
de Paul Society.<br />
The Vinnies Team had a great time selling roses and<br />
working for a good cause. We would like to thank<br />
everyone who helped to support the <strong>Year</strong> 12 Vinnies<br />
Team and the St Vincent de Paul Society. We hope<br />
this St Valentine’s Day was special and memorable<br />
for all students.<br />

On the Senior Campus, the <strong>Year</strong> 12 Vinnies<br />
representative team worked diligently throughout the<br />
week making posters, selling the roses, packaging<br />
and delivering them to students. The efforts of the<br />
team were able to place smiles on the teacher’s and<br />
student’s faces as well as help those in need through<br />
supporting the Vinnies charity.<br />

WINTER S<br />
On Friday the 17 th of June, <strong>Year</strong> 12 leaders Claudia<br />
Linares-Motterle and Jessica Hostiadi prepared a<br />
night focusing on the ever growing issue in society of<br />
homelessness.<br />
Activities were about understanding the issue of<br />
homelessness and then looking for ways to bring<br />
Mercy to those in our society. Putting into practice<br />
the spiritual and corporal works of Mercy, “How can<br />
I, being one person, make a difference to someone<br />
else’s life?”<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 12 students who attended were challenged<br />
to think about their ways of Mercy and these were<br />
captured on our Mercy Wall.<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 12 students braved the conditions of doing<br />
without for one night, leaving the comforts of home at<br />
home and sleeping on the cold hard floor to heighten<br />
the awareness of the homeless. Thank you to Mr<br />
Culbert and Mrs Anzellotti for your support in making<br />
this event possible for our students and to the <strong>Year</strong> 12<br />
students who participated in making this an authentic<br />
experience.<br />

On Monday the 22nd to Wednesday the 24th of<br />
August, the St Andrews College <strong>Year</strong> 9 students<br />
completed their camp at the Great Aussie Bush<br />
Camp, Kincumber.<br />
We had a fantastic time at the new camp venue. In<br />
Learning Groups, students participated in a variety<br />
of activities that included abseiling, archery, a giant<br />
swing, initiatives, the leap of faith, powerfan, rock<br />
climbing, a commando night, a disco night, and my<br />
personal favourite - a lost mud world!<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 9 had the opportunity to experience the great<br />
outdoors with expert instruction from the staff at the<br />
Great Aussie Bush Camp, Kincumber and also from<br />
our College staff.<br />
I’d like to thank the following teachers, for not only<br />
giving up their time for our students, but for supporting<br />
them through the difficult personal challenges that<br />
they overcame while on camp: Miss Emily Pett,<br />
Mr Phil McBride, Miss Jessica Bisazza, Mr Rohan<br />
Isaac, Miss Stephanie Dito, Mr James Aronis, Mr Joe<br />
Lenehan, Ms Therese May, Mrs Sue Cooper.<br />
The staff at the Kincumber site commented on<br />
numerous occasions that our <strong>Year</strong> 9 group was<br />
one of the best that has been through their camp.<br />
Congratulations to all of <strong>Year</strong> 9 on completing this<br />
wonderful experience.<br />

CSDA DE<br />
It has been a phenomenal season with our debaters<br />
going above and beyond by giving up their Friday<br />
nights to travel to different schools across Sydney to<br />
compete in each round of the competition.<br />
It was a very successful season for the College with<br />
the 8A and Senior Opens A Debating Teams making<br />
it through to the Elimination Rounds. Our Senior<br />
Opens A Team also won their Quarter-Final round<br />
and finished the competition as Semi-Finalists. This<br />
is an amazing and hard-earned achievement and a<br />
great end to their Debating career at the College.<br />
Well done to Marc, Khang and Anthony!<br />
During the season St Andrews College hosted four<br />
rounds of the Debating Competition and it was<br />
amazing to see so many students volunteer their time<br />
to act as chairpersons and timekeepers. Thank you<br />
so much to every single student who was involved<br />
and offered their assistance – particularly those<br />
students who helped out all four times! I’d also like<br />
to thank Mrs Muriel Mastrippolito for her wonderful<br />
catering efforts each round.<br />
St Andrews College would not be able to enter the<br />
Debating Competition if it wasn’t for the wonderful<br />
staff at the College who gave up their time each<br />
week to support the students. Firstly I would like to<br />
thank the teachers who came to show their support<br />
throughout many rounds; Miss Andrea Mansfield, Mrs<br />
Anita Weaver, Mr Nathan Weaver, Mr John Morrissey<br />
and Mrs Carol Martin.<br />
Another integral part of the debating process and<br />
a part that the students most value is the time that<br />
staff members have taken to adjudicate debates<br />
throughout the season and act as a source of support<br />
and guidance. For this, I would like to thank Ms<br />
Lyndal Simmonds, Miss Jessica Bisazza, Mr Duncan<br />
Dewar, Mr Garry Boardman, Miss Stephanie Llave,<br />
Miss Stephanie Dito, Mr Andrew Kuchappan and<br />
Mrs Frances Kramer. I would also like to thank Lewis<br />
Manalili, Stephanie Mulholland, Ryan Mahon and<br />
Marilyn Bellet who are past students of the College<br />
whose love of debating had them volunteering to<br />
come back and adjudicate for the College. I would<br />
like to especially mention Mr Travis Kolek who not<br />
only coached the senior teams but also adjudicated<br />
debates and drove students in the school bus to all<br />
the venues around Sydney each week. Finally, I would<br />
like to thank Mr Vidot for his continuous support of<br />
the Debating Competition; all teams appreciate and<br />
value his support and guidance across the season.<br />

YEAR 9 JAPANESE<br />
On Wednesday the 8 th of June, Ms Mizukami our<br />
Japanese teacher gave us the opportunity to create<br />
our very own rice ball (onigiri) and taste some miso<br />
soup. We had been given ingredients and steps to<br />
follow. At first, we watched two videos to learn how<br />
to make the onigiri. Each of them showed making<br />
onigiri with their own styles.<br />
After watching the videos, Ms Mizukami explained<br />
each ingredient and items. The ingredients were<br />
Japanese rice, non-salted seaweed (nori), salt,<br />
two miso soup packets, tofu, homemade tuna with<br />
mayonnaise, pickled radish and a pickled plum.<br />
Then, we did the exercise sheet to make sure we<br />
understood each step in making onigiri.<br />
Mr Culbert and Miss Lipec came and joined our<br />
cooking lesson in the second half of the lesson.<br />
During the process of making the rice ball, Ms<br />
Mizukami took photos for a rice ball contest called<br />
onigiri beauty contest. The chosen judges were Mr<br />
Culbert and Miss Lipec. Everyone in class had made<br />
quite unique designs. My friends, Emerson created<br />
some sort of car, Patrick created a face and Earlwin<br />
made a hut. We all had fun. Onigiri was delicious, the<br />
radish was great, and the plum was sour but was still<br />
delicious.<br />

JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL<br />
On the 25 th of November, the <strong>Year</strong> 9 Japanese class<br />
were privileged to attend the annual ‘Japanese Film<br />
Festival’.<br />
The chosen film of the year was ‘Bakuman’ which was<br />
about two teenagers, Mashiro and Takagi who plan to<br />
be Manga artists. This film takes you on an exciting<br />
roller-coaster ride where there is competition, a love<br />
interest and lots of Manga.<br />
After the movie, we had our lunch where Ms Mizukami<br />
kindly organised our obentos (Japanese style boxed<br />
lunch) and sat in front of St Andrew’s Cathedral.<br />
Before we went back to the station, Ms Mizukami<br />
took us to a Japanese grocery store and gave us 15<br />
minutes to look at or buy some Japanese sweets and<br />
food.<br />
Overall, the day was filled with amazing memories<br />
and an interesting movie. We thank Ms Mizukami<br />
and Mr Culbert for supervising us and organising an<br />
amazing day.<br />

1000 PAPER CRANES<br />
Students from <strong>Year</strong>s 8 to 12, who are currently<br />
studying Japanese, folded and constructed over<br />
1000 paper cranes to take on the Japan Study Tour<br />
<strong>2016</strong>. During the Term 2 school holidays, 25 students<br />
and four teachers, including Mr Vidot, Ms Mizukami,<br />
Miss Manalili and Mr Roseby flew to Japan for two<br />
weeks on a study tour. Whilst in Japan, the students<br />
and teachers visited many places such as Tokyo,<br />
Osaka, Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Fukuoka. One<br />
of the significant places visited was the Hiroshima<br />
Peace Memorial Park, where they placed our 1000<br />
paper cranes.<br />
The origin of the paper cranes comes from a well<br />
known story of a Japanese girl called Sadako Sasaki,<br />
who lived in Hiroshima when the atom bombs were<br />
dropped in Japan during World War II. Sadako was<br />
diagnosed with leukemia as a result of exposure to<br />
radiation from the bomb. There is a belief that if one<br />
folded 1000 paper cranes, their wishes would be<br />
granted, so Sadako began folding paper cranes in the<br />
hope that her wishes of recovering from her sickness,<br />
attaining world peace and healing all victims that were<br />
affected would come true. At the age of 12, Sadako<br />
succumbed to her illness and passed away, having<br />
folded over 1000 paper cranes.<br />
Therefore, on behalf of St Andrews College, we<br />
will hand over our completed 1000 paper cranes<br />
to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to contribute to<br />
Sadako’s wish and our own wish of attaining world<br />
peace. We would like to take this chance to thank all<br />
the students and teachers, especially Miss Manalili<br />
and Ms Mizukami for taking their own time and effort<br />
to make all of it happen. Also, a special thank you to<br />
Mr Roseby for holding culture lessons every week on<br />
the Junior Campus in order to prepare the students<br />
for the two week study tour. Thank you, once again,<br />
to all who contributed to our 1000 paper crane project<br />
and made it a huge success!<br />

EXPLORING JAPANESE<br />
On the 24 th of February, the <strong>Year</strong> 11 and <strong>Year</strong> 12<br />
Japanese classes, accompanied by Ms Mizukami<br />
and Mr Roseby, travelled to the city. We went<br />
to the Monkey Baa Theatre in Darling Harbour,<br />
the Kinokuniya <strong>Book</strong>shop, MUJI, a Japanese<br />
convenience store and Mizuya Japanese Restaurant<br />
and Karaoke.<br />
First, we met at Blacktown Station at 8:45am to<br />
catch the train to the City. We got off at Town Hall<br />
and walked straight to the Monkey Baa Theatre. Our<br />
school and many others were there to watch a lecture<br />
and traditional Japanese performance called “Jewels<br />
of Kyoto”. This was run by the Japan Foundation.<br />
Two Geiko-san and two Maiko-san had travelled the<br />
distance to Sydney from Kyoto to give the lecture on<br />
traditional Japanese culture.<br />
There was a photo opportunity so we could take<br />
photos of them. Then, Geiko-san and Maiko-san<br />
gave their lecture, which consisted of information<br />
about what the Geiko and Maiko do in their everyday<br />
life, and the dialect of the people from Kyoto, as well<br />
as how young Japanese women train to become<br />
Maiko and Geiko. The performances had traditional<br />
Japanese folk singing, followed by the playing of<br />
traditional Japanese instruments and dancing. We<br />
also learnt two Japanese games, Tora Tora Tora<br />
and a traditional tea house game. We learnt that<br />
these games were usually played only by adults. If<br />
a person loses the game, they need to drink a glass<br />
of sake (Japanese rice wine). Maiko-san and Geikosan<br />
let students have a chance to experience the<br />
games. It was very educational and entertaining. We<br />
all learnt something so special from Kyoto and it was<br />
so much fun!<br />
Kinokuniya <strong>Book</strong>shop and MUJI (selling Japanese<br />
natural and simple design compliments).<br />
After that we went to the Mizuya Japanese restaurant<br />
and Karaoke to try Japanese cuisine and sing<br />
Karaoke. The food there was delicious. We were<br />
able to choose one lunch set from the menu. We also<br />
ordered special Japanese drinks, such as Green Tea<br />
Latte. It was very tasty with the whipped cream and<br />
sweet red bean accompaniment. It balanced out<br />
the strong taste of the Matcha (green tea). Singing<br />
Japanese Karaoke was so much fun even though it<br />
was more difficult than we expected, but in the end<br />
everyone enjoyed their time singing.<br />
All in all, it was a fun and informative day about<br />
Japan in different aspects ranging from dialects to<br />
the performing arts. Now we know how much we<br />
can experience the Japanese culture within Sydney.<br />
We look forward to having another great Japanese<br />
excursion again next year!<br />
Isla Ramos & Sharlene Mesa<br />
Next, we went to the Kinokuniya <strong>Book</strong>shop to buy<br />
the Japanese dictionary and we had some leisure<br />
time, but the Furigana dictionaries were out of stock.<br />
So, unfortunately we were unable to purchase them.<br />
We were allowed to also buy some stuff at the<br />

STREAM
WATCH<br />
All living things need water to survive. Clean water<br />
is especially important for the environment, however<br />
polluted water is a health hazard. For this reason it<br />
is important that the water quality is monitored and<br />
managed. We at St Andrews College play a small<br />
role in this through Streamwatch.<br />
Streamwatch is a citizen based science water<br />
monitoring program that enables community groups<br />
to monitor the quality and health of local waterways.<br />
It is a long running water monitoring program initiated<br />
by Sydney Water and the Sydney Catchment<br />
Authority. In 2012 the Streamwatch program was<br />
transferred to the Australian Museum but continues<br />
to be funded by Sydney Water.<br />
At St Andrews College Streamwatch is run by<br />
environmentally concerned <strong>Year</strong> 12 students who<br />
work to monitor the state of our local waterway,<br />
Breakfast Creek. Some of the water quality tests<br />
carried out are: dissolved oxygen, phosphate, E.coli,<br />
pH, electrical conductivity and turbidity.<br />
On Tuesday the 13 th of December <strong>2016</strong>, the students<br />
of the St Andrews College Streamwatch Team were<br />
invited to Sydney Water, West Ryde where they<br />
got to see how water is monitored around Sydney.<br />
On the visit the students were shown by a field<br />
scientist the three types of field sampling vehicles<br />
used, what they tested for and the purpose of each.<br />
The students were then taken into the different<br />
laboratories; Bacteriology, Parasitology, Water<br />
Chemistry and Aquatic Ecology; where a scientist<br />
from each laboratory described what they tested and<br />
explained the meaning of the results.<br />
We would like to thank Julia Bartlett and her team of<br />
scientists at Sydney Water for this great opportunity.<br />
Not only did the students gain an understanding of<br />
the stringent testing that is carried out everyday on<br />
our water, but also got to see first-hand science in<br />
action.<br />

Leader of Learning – Science (Senior Campus)
ENGINEERING<br />
On Tuesday the 13th and Wednesday the 14th of<br />
September students from schools in the Penrith,<br />
Blacktown and Hawkesbury areas took up the<br />
challenge to test their knowledge and learn about<br />
engineering in a two-day event at Western Sydney<br />
University.<br />
The two-day event had students listen to academics<br />
and industry representatives talk about the exciting<br />
research and careers available in the engineering<br />
space. <strong>Year</strong> 10 students from St Andrews College<br />
attended workshops in solar car design and robotics.<br />
In the solar car workshop Ashley Fronteras, Nupur<br />
Makwana, Larissa Isakov and Jonathan Tan teamed<br />
together to build a solar car. There was some great<br />
discussion on how to best build a solar car. After<br />
many attempts to assemble the car the students<br />
discovered that the solar panel needed some time in<br />
the sun. A common double AA battery finally got the<br />
car moving.<br />
Hamish Ram joined Andrew MacCormick from St<br />
Paul’s Grammar to build a solar car.<br />
The second day was all about building a bridge<br />
and completing the mathematics and physics quiz.<br />
Students worked in groups of four and were given<br />
the same number of paddle pop sticks and the same<br />
length of masking tape. They were given dimensions<br />
for the bridge and told that the competition would<br />
include how much weight the bridge could hold.<br />
The girls formed one team and the boys formed<br />
another. At the end of day one students were given<br />
instructions about the bridge challenge and advised<br />
to research bridge building before they returned for<br />
day two.<br />
Larissa Isakov came to the challenge with her<br />
research and a plan for the bridge. At that moment<br />
it looked like the girls were ready for the challenge.<br />
However as time passed the paddle pop sticks were<br />
still in a pile on the table. At the end of the build the<br />
bridge did not gain love from its engineers. It took<br />
some convincing for the girls not to leave their bridge<br />
behind and to compete in the bridge challenge.<br />
Once in the challenge room, many students began<br />
to worry as most of the bridges did not withstand the<br />
weight challenge. To the surprise of our girls’ team<br />
their bridge withstood a considerable amount of<br />
weight.<br />
This was the second time St Andrews College<br />
students attended Engineering Frontiers and again<br />
won the mathematics and physics competition. The<br />
students were recognised for their great effort with a
FRONTIERS<br />
movie ticket.<br />
The students were very excited about their win and<br />
reminded me that some of their challengers were<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 12 students from Penrith Selective High School.<br />
Engineering Frontiers students were:<br />
Clarisse Cortez, Ashley Fronteras, Larissa Isakov,<br />

WSU FAST FORWARD<br />
On Thursday the 31st of March Western Sydney<br />
University held their annual Fast Forward <strong>Year</strong><br />
9 Awards Night at the Parramatta Campus to<br />
congratulate the <strong>Year</strong> 9 students who have been<br />
selected by their school to participate in the Program.<br />
The Fast Forward Program is a partnership between<br />
Western Sydney University and schools in Greater<br />
Western Sydney. The program aims to help students<br />
to see the value of continuing their education through<br />
to <strong>Year</strong> 12 and beyond.<br />
During the Awards Night <strong>Year</strong> 9 students heard how<br />
the Fast Forward Program encourages students to<br />
strive for their personal best and to see tertiary study<br />
as a realistic and viable post-school option. During<br />
the four-year program students begin to understand<br />
the concept of lifelong learning and the benefits of<br />
continued education and training has on the success<br />
of their career.<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 9 students also heard from two of the four <strong>2016</strong><br />
Fast Forward Scholarship winners. Eden Corbett<br />
who joined the St Andrews College inaugural group<br />
of Fast Forward students in 2012 spoke about how<br />
the Fast Forward Program encouraged her to do her<br />
best at school. Eden advised the <strong>Year</strong> 9 students to<br />
work consistently and take notes so that they are well<br />
prepared for their HSC Exams. Good preparation<br />
puts you in a better position to achieve the best ATAR.<br />
Eden achieved an ATAR of 90.50 and is now<br />
studying Law and Social Science at Western Sydney<br />
University. She said the $20,000 Scholarship has<br />
given her more time to focus on her studies.<br />
St Andrews College believes that the Western<br />

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE<br />
During the summer holidays Michael Milazzo of <strong>Year</strong><br />
7 took up the challenge and entered the Executive<br />
Director’s Summer Reading Challenge.<br />
Whilst many students may have enjoyed playing<br />
video games, Michael read twelve books. He enjoys<br />
reading science fiction books or those with a hidden<br />
meaning. One of the books he read was “Wolf Brother:<br />
Chronicles of Darkness”.<br />
In his review, Michael says, “Wolf Brother is a very<br />
interesting and detailed book about a boy in 2000 BC<br />
and his life. The book has ups and downs, and has<br />
good parts and bad parts. During each chapter the<br />
author had written some very descriptive text that had<br />
lots of hidden meaning.”<br />
This entry won Michael an iPad Mini and at an<br />
assembly held on Friday the 26th of February Michael<br />
was congratulated by Kim Brownlie from the Catholic<br />
Education Diocese of Parramatta for taking up the<br />
Challenge.<br />
The Challenge is offered to students across the<br />
Diocese of Parramatta to encourage them to expand<br />
their imagination through reading. Students are able<br />
to read many different types of literature such as a<br />
comic, a play, a piece of poetry, a book, an e-book or<br />
a graphic novel. They then needed to write 50 words<br />
or less on why they loved it.<br />
Michael believes that all students should consider<br />
taking up the Reading Challenge next summer<br />
holidays as it gives them an opportunity to develop<br />
their reading skills and they might discover a love for<br />
reading as he has. Michael also believes that books<br />
can give you more excitement than an iPad!

The intermediate division was a difficult competition,<br />
with our girls up against many representative players<br />
from other schools. Our team worked fantastically<br />
under pressure and were able to support each other<br />
and show great teamwork. We had some great shots<br />
including some great three pointers, but the girls just<br />
narrowly missed out on bringing home a win in their<br />
games.<br />

The boys showed incredible sportsmanship and an<br />
amazing level of talent! They were able to use their<br />
skills and passion for the game to finish as champions<br />
of the competition. We look forward to seeing them<br />
compete in the next tournament!<br />

to play together before we rushed off the bus to<br />
compete in our first game at 8:30am. The girls were<br />
so enthusiastic and willing to learn and demonstrated<br />
this by participating in training drills in between<br />
their four games on the day. With training and great<br />
teamwork they finished the day in fourth place with<br />
a 20-6 win against St Marks. Congratulations Junior<br />
Girls!<br />

NSW NETBALL
SCHOOLS CUP<br />
A fantastic day was had at the NSW Netball<br />
Competition at Jamison Park in Penrith. With 91<br />
teams playing on the day St Andrews College were<br />
put in Pool E and our <strong>Year</strong> 7 and <strong>Year</strong> 8 Girls were<br />
keen to impress.<br />
We played five games in total with the first being<br />
our closest with a narrow one point loss. Miss Llave<br />
was keen to develop the girl’s skills and practiced<br />
some skill development between games. As the<br />
girls were assembling for a team photo we were<br />
photo bombed by non other than Caitlain Thwaites.<br />
Caitlain has represented Australia in Volleyball and<br />
Netball winning gold at the Commonwealth Games in<br />
Glasgow and the Netball World Championships. She<br />
has also won the ANZ Championships with Adelaide<br />
Thunderbirds in 2011 and is now currently playing for<br />
the Sydney Swifts. The girls were taken back that she<br />
was so relaxed and it took them a while to realise<br />
what had happened.<br />
With four games down we started to prepare for the<br />
last game. The siren had sounded for the start of the<br />
game and the opposition were nowhere to be seen.<br />
We decided to play against each other with Miss Llave<br />
and Mr Gillogly taking part in the game. The General<br />
Manager of Sport Development NSW Netball noticed<br />
what was happening and offered to umpire. It was a<br />
great way to end the day with all smiling and happy<br />
to be playing.<br />
A big thank you goes to Miss Llave for coaching and<br />
organising the girls.<br />

BRING IT ON DA<br />
The Bring It On Dance Festival was held on Saturday<br />
the 10th of September at the Homebush State Sports<br />
Centre.<br />
Our students represented St Andrews College with<br />
such pride and passion in a battle against 20 other<br />
secondary schools from NSW.<br />
This is the first year that St Andrews College has<br />
entered the Competition. It was a truly fantastic<br />
experience with a large and receptive audience.<br />
The Bring It On Dance Festival is a high energy<br />
dance event – primarily hip-hop focussed. It features<br />
a diverse range of secondary schools, each bringing<br />
to the stage five minutes of urban dance. This event<br />
encourages participation across all spheres of life<br />
and showcases creativity and immense talent.<br />
Mr Chiappetta would like to thank all 36 <strong>Year</strong> 11<br />
and <strong>Year</strong> 12 dancers involved. Your creativity and<br />
commitment to the Bring It On Dance Festival project<br />
was truly admirable.<br />
A big congratulations goes to Dana Gwyther for<br />
her co-ordination of rehearsals and choreography<br />
throughout the project.<br />
Thank you also to Miss Desira who assisted on the<br />
day.<br />

TOUCH FOOTB<br />
With rain falling heavily on Tuesday night doubt was<br />
cast over the Touch Football Gala Day going ahead<br />
but with a clear morning on Wednesday and the fields<br />
dry the games could begin!<br />
On Wednesday the 30 th of March our Senior and<br />
Under 15 Touch Football teams met on the Junior<br />
Campus at 7.40am. They were soon on the bus to<br />
The Kingsway Fields at Werrington.<br />
It was a tough day with the Senior Boys having to<br />
play seven games in four hours, Jarred Concepion<br />
steering the ship with solid performances in each<br />
game.<br />
The Senior Girls had a couple of strong wins with<br />
Tayla Deverell scoring four tries on the day and was<br />
a stand-out performer.<br />
The Under 15 Boys started strong but classy<br />
opposition and the heat took its toll in the last few<br />
matches. All boys contributed well in the tournament.<br />
Our Under 15 Girls also started strong and they were<br />
the most vocal supporters. Strong performances from<br />
Ella Kumpulainen and Alison Futialo enabled the girl’s<br />
team to be competitive in all matches.<br />
The sportsmanship was as to be expected and<br />
opponents, referees and fellow team mates were<br />
respected at all times. A big thank you to all students<br />
involved in the day.<br />
A big thank you also goes to the staff Mr Boardman,<br />
Miss Trenko and Mr Kolek for assisting on the day.<br />

SENIOR FOOTB
ALL GALA DAY<br />
The heavens opened up the night before the Senior<br />
Football Gala Day but all went ahead as scheduled.<br />
Both Boys and Girls Senior Teams played three<br />
games each with the opposition being strong on the<br />
day.<br />
The boys found it hard to trouble the score sheet<br />
but Patrick Estrada kept us in the game with a well<br />
constructed goal in the first game. Arsany Fanous<br />
played hard and also assisted on the wildcard team.<br />
The stand out for the girls was Ellana Dillon who did<br />
a great job as goalkeeper with some amazing saves.<br />
The girls fought hard, scoring in all matches but<br />
fitness was the key to the opposition’s success.<br />
A big thank you to Mr Frankham and Mr Isaac for<br />
assisting with the teams on the day. Once again the<br />
sportsmanship displayed in all matches was to be<br />
commended.<br />

NSWCCC DIVING<br />
The competition took place on Friday the 29 th of April<br />
at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. This<br />
year, again, St Andrews College brought a strong<br />
team of competitors across most of the age groups<br />
with students competing in both the springboard and<br />
platform events.<br />
First up was the 16 and 17+ years springboard where<br />
we had two competitors, Amy France and Sharri<br />
Seccull. Both girls executed their dives well scoring<br />
6s and 7s. This was the most competitive age group<br />
of the day and the girls were only outdone by the<br />
higher degree of difficulty dives performed by the<br />
place getters. Amy finished in 4th place while Sharri<br />
finished 6th.<br />
This event was followed by the Open platform event<br />
where both Amy and Jemma France competed<br />
against each other. This time Jemma came out on top<br />
placing 3rd while Amy placed 4th. Both girls secured<br />
an All Schools berth on platform.<br />
The final events of the day were combined with<br />
the 12, 13, 14 and 15 year olds competing on<br />
springboard. St Andrews College had four students<br />
competing; James Kalogjera (12 year boys), Isabella<br />
Carter (14 year girls), Jemma France (15 year girls)<br />
and Madelyn Irvine (15 year girls). This was the first<br />
ever competition for James and Isabella who placed<br />
1st and 2nd respectively in their events.<br />
Jemma fought hard to win her event, securing her<br />
first NSWCCC gold medal. Madelyn improved both<br />
her score (significantly) and placing from last year<br />
finishing a close 4th place.<br />
It was a fantastic day of competition with all St<br />
Andrews College divers competing to the best of<br />
their ability. Amy, Jemma, Isabella and James will<br />
now represent the College at the NSW All Schools<br />
Competition on the 6th of May. Special mention goes<br />
to Amy France who officiated as a judge and will also<br />
judge at the NSW All Schools Competition.<br />
Thank you to Mrs Weaver for coaching, Mr Weaver<br />
for managing the competition, Miss Knezevic for<br />
managing the students on the day and Mr Said for<br />
stepping in at the last minute to drive the bus. The<br />
divers are grateful to the College for its support of the<br />
diving program and to the parents for transporting the<br />
students to extra training sessions. We hope many<br />
more students will take up this opportunity next year.<br />

JUNIOR GIRLS OZTAG TEAM<br />
The Junior Girls Oztag Team had a successful season<br />
this year. The team was made up of a good mix of new<br />
campaigners and seasoned veterans from last year’s<br />
squad. Throughout the season, the girls trained hard<br />
and showed vast levels of improvement each week.<br />
Personally, I believe that this team was by far the best<br />
in the competition.<br />
The team went undefeated until their last game<br />
against Xavier College who were first on the ladder.<br />
This game would determine the gold medal winners<br />
unfortunately it was not to be for St Andrews College.<br />
The girls, however, showed enormous determination,<br />
courage and a sense of achievement in their final<br />
game and throughout the season.<br />
At the final Prize Giving Assembly held on Thursday<br />
the 15 th of December the girls received their medals.<br />
Special mention goes to the <strong>Year</strong> 7 and <strong>Year</strong> 8 girls<br />
who generously volunteered their support to fill in for<br />
the girls who were absent. Another special mention<br />
goes to Ms Trenko who became an assistant coach<br />
for the Junior Girls Oztag Team.<br />
The Junior Girls Oztag Team consisted of:<br />
Anok Angok, Isabella Dos Santos, Claudia Estrada,<br />
Daniella Goncalves, Rachel Kahlil, Chantelle Lekov,<br />
Chloe Riley (Captain), Laney Shepherd, Bree Stone,<br />
Kalesita Tausala, Sylvana Taveuveu.<br />

NSW ALL SCH<br />
Four students from St Andrews College proudly<br />
represented the school at the NSW All Schools<br />
Diving Championships. The competition took place<br />
on Friday the 6th of May at the Sydney Olympic<br />
Park Aquatic Centre. It included divers from across<br />
NSW and across the three school systems; CCC<br />
(Combined Catholic Colleges), CHS (Combined High<br />
Schools) and CIS (Combined Independent Schools).<br />
In short, it was the best school divers in NSW.<br />
Divers performed a different number of dives<br />
depending on their age groups with the youngest<br />
divers performing four dives and the eldest performing<br />
eight. Divers in the 12, 13, 15 and 17+ age groups<br />
who wanted to trial for the School Sport Australia<br />
(national) event performed one extra dive after the<br />
competition which was added to their score.<br />
Below is a list of placings. The first placing shows<br />

medal, presented to him by three time Olympian<br />
Melissa Wu. Divers who received an SSA rank of<br />
1, 2 or 3 were selected in the team to compete at<br />
the School Sport Australia Championships. Amy and<br />
Jemma are both first reserves in their respective age<br />
groups which is a fantastic achievement.<br />
In addition to her diving, Amy also spent the day<br />
officiating as one of only a few student judges. This<br />
is her second year judging at this level and she did a<br />
fantastic job.<br />
We are very proud of our diving results and encourage<br />
more students to take up this wonderful opportunity<br />
in the future.<br />

PDSSSC<br />
tournament, our Intermediate Boys Squad.<br />
On the last Monday of Term 3 Mr James Aronis along<br />
with another three teachers: Mr David van Gestel, Mr<br />
Garry Boardman and Miss Stephanie Llave had the<br />
honour in taking four teams to the PDSSSC Futsal<br />
(Indoor Soccer) Gala Day.<br />
Apart from a 7am start and being locked out of the<br />
indoor centre for 45 minutes the day ran smoothly<br />
and our students displayed excellent sportsmanship<br />
and behaviour throughout the day.<br />
The Gala Day was a success and we had one team<br />
in particular who went all the way and won the whole<br />
They started the day strongly with convincing wins<br />
in their first three group games against McCarthy, St<br />
Columba’s and St Clare’s respectively.<br />
The first semi was played against McCarthy, who I<br />
must say put us to the sword and had us on the back<br />
foot very early in the match after two defensive errors<br />
resulted in our boys going into the break at 2-0 down.<br />
After some stern but encouraging words from myself<br />
at half time the boys finally woke up and moved into<br />
second gear. Reece Nelson was the hero as he<br />
made, not one but two, scintillating solo runs from the
FUTSAL<br />
back levelling the game at 2-2.<br />
Extra time was looming and the boys were hungry<br />
for the win. Extra time was a stalemate and that only<br />
meant one thing, a penalty shootout. We started<br />
the shootout like the match, missing the first and<br />
McCarthy scoring their first. We scored the next and<br />
McCarthy missed their next two. With one penalty<br />
taker left; up comes our two goal hero Reece Nelson<br />
to make it a third. Sending the keeper the wrong way<br />
he banged the ball into the top left corner and sent<br />
St Andrews College into the grand-final where they<br />
were to meet St Columba’s.<br />
The Grand-final game wasn’t as entertaining as<br />
the semi but St Andrews College won the match<br />
convincingly with a whopping ten goals to two.<br />

PDSSSC OZTAG<br />
On Monday the 12 th of September myself along with<br />
Mr Frankham, Mr Boardman, Miss Llave and Mr Kolek<br />
had the honour of taking five teams to the PDSSSC<br />
Oztag Gala Day.<br />
It was a day blessed with perfect weather, perfect<br />
behaviour and some outstanding overall athleticism<br />
and sportsmanship shown by our students.<br />
Overall the day was a success with four out of the<br />
five teams finishing in the top four of their respective<br />
Divisions which is something to be really proud of and<br />
a great achievement.<br />
A special mention goes out to our Intermediate Boys<br />
squad. Their competition had been scratched due<br />
to a lack of teams, but after some constant nagging,<br />
begging and protesting, the boys persuaded Mr<br />
Gillogly and Mr Vidot to enter them into the senior<br />
competition and they didn’t disappoint one bit.<br />
Shaken up 5-0 in the first match against Loyola and<br />
even after Ryan Ferguson suffered a head-clash, the<br />
boys were resilient and didn’t stop fighting until the<br />
end. With wins in their next two games, this saw our<br />
boys reach the final where they were to meet Loyola<br />
once more. Such determination, hunger, team work<br />
and belief saw the match end 4-4 with extra time to<br />
come. Unfortunately the boys pulled up just short and<br />
the game ended 5-4 after possession was surrendered<br />
early gifting the opposition a try in the next set of six.<br />
None-the-less the boys should be proud for their<br />
efforts on the day as well as leading up to the event.<br />
Well done.<br />

PDSSSC CROSS COUNTRY<br />
Once again the sun was shining as we headed to<br />
Sydney Motorsport Park at Eastern Creek for the<br />
PDSSSC Cross Country Carnival.<br />
St Andrews College fielded 35 students in what was<br />
a strong field. We started very well with two of the<br />
under 18 boys progressing through to the NSWCCC<br />
event in the first race of the day. Mach Manassah<br />
was our best performer on the day claiming a podium<br />
spot of third with Ariik Ajak claiming fourth spot in the<br />
same race. Congratulations to both boys for their<br />
performance.<br />
As the weather heated up our runners were not as<br />
successful, but they showed the St Andrews College<br />
pride of not giving up. Other top performances were<br />
from Tayla Deverell, Patrick Estrada, Sarafina Yosia-<br />
Edward, Mercy Yosia-Edward, Isaiah Lazaro and<br />
Matthew Martignago.<br />
Thank you goes to Mr Boardman who assisted on<br />
the day and congratulations to all those students for<br />
making it to this level.<br />

NSWCCC BA<br />
The NSWCCC Basketball Tournament at Penrith<br />
Basketball Stadium took place on the 20 th and the<br />
21 st of June. The team was under great pressure as<br />
they came third in the tournament last year. With a<br />
younger team and great enthusiasm the players set<br />
out to repeat last year’s result.<br />
On day one the team played in three games against<br />
some fierce competition. In the first game they came<br />
up a few points short in a hotly contested match. The<br />
second match was against tournament favourites St<br />
Gregory’s College. A fantastic start enabled the boys<br />
to get to an eight-point lead in the first ten minutes. St<br />
Gregory’s showed great poise and patience to take<br />
control of the game, winning by eight points. The<br />
boys finished with a strong win in the third game to<br />
get the tournament back on track.<br />
Another early start to day two and the boys were keen<br />
to put the disappointment of day one behind them.<br />
A slow start to game one and with only six minutes<br />
left in the game the game looked lost being 13 points<br />
behind. A spike in effort and commitment enabled<br />
the boys to claw their way back to level the scores<br />
with only 2.8 seconds to go and we were headed for<br />
overtime. The opposition were able to secure the ball<br />
and with the buzzer sounding a half way shot was put<br />
up and to the astonishment of the crowed it went in<br />
and the boys lost on the bell, a heart breaking loss for<br />
all involved. In the last game the boys executed well<br />
and were able to have a comfortable victory winning<br />
by 52 points.<br />
As expected each game was played with the utmost<br />
respect for the opposition and referees. All players<br />
contributed well, although, special mention must<br />
go to Hilary and Raphael who were outstanding in<br />
all games. It was also a sad occasion for Noel and<br />
Raphael who have played their last game for St<br />
Andrews College. We thank them for their efforts and<br />
leadership in their many years playing Basketball for<br />
St Andrews College.<br />
Special thanks must go to the super coach Miss<br />
Cassandra Knezevic who gives up an enormous<br />
amount of time to coach and mentor the players to<br />
get them to this level. Without her St Andrews College<br />
Basketball wouldn’t be where it is today.<br />
Thank you to all the boys on their outstanding<br />
achievement.<br />

BERG SHIEL<br />
The Berg Shield is a cricket competition for <strong>Year</strong>s 7<br />
to 10 and includes schools from all around NSW. On<br />
Monday the 24th of October a squad of 14 players<br />
made their way to Parker Street Penrith for our first<br />
game. The squad was: Aman Jaswal (captain),<br />
Anmol Singh, Hitik Ahuja, Shikhar Goyal, Sehajdeep<br />
Singh, Parminder Narain, Luke Ward, Ronit Raman,<br />
Josh Garland, Siaosi Tuita, Leleianoa Auva’a Ebony<br />
O’Connor, Nicholas Mathias and Preet Sahai. We<br />
were to play St Dominic’s College, who won the<br />
competition last year.<br />
We could tell early in the game that we were up<br />
against a very strong side. We were ably captained<br />
by Aman and he and Luke each managed to take a<br />
wicket. However, St Dominic’s fought back with some<br />
spectacular batting, finally posting a score in excess<br />
of ten runs an over.<br />
In reply, we batted with determination, but were not<br />
able to score at anywhere near the rate of St Dominic’s<br />
College. At all times the St Andrews College team<br />
members supported and encouraged each other,<br />
despite being clearly outclassed.<br />
I would like to thank Mr Gillogly for his support and<br />
driving us to and from the venue and Anhad Singh-<br />
Ghuman and Danial Afzal for scoring and their<br />
encouragement of the team.<br />
Finally, I was proud to be associated with the St<br />
Andrews College team members, who each made a<br />
great effort and played the game in the right spirit.<br />

AUSSIE RAC<br />
Harley Haber, a <strong>Year</strong> 12 student has spent four days<br />
competing in the <strong>2016</strong> Adelaide Clipsal 500 racing his<br />
Ford Mustang. Harley raced through the streets of<br />
Adelaide from Thursday the 10th of March to Sunday<br />
the 13th of March.<br />
After starting in 22nd place, Harley finished in third<br />
place in race three of the first round of the Aussie<br />
Racing Cars Championship Series.<br />
Driving the CEJN Australian Ford Mustang, Harley,<br />
the youngster, was at the back of his group. He<br />
charged past eight rivals on the first lap to be in 14th<br />
position, and progressed up another three spots on<br />
lap two.<br />
The next time around he was up to fourth spot and on<br />
the last lap he slipped past the driver in front to third<br />
place in race three.<br />
After the Clipsal 500 Round, Harley worked very hard<br />
to keep his CEJN Ford Mustang up the front and set<br />
tough goals for himself and the team.<br />
“I really want to thank all my sponsors and my dad,<br />
without their support my achievement would not have<br />
been possible.”<br />
Over the weekend of the 10th and 11th of September,<br />
Harley Haber enjoyed another weekend of motorsport<br />
at Sydney Motorsport Park - Eastern Creek.<br />
In race three Harley started in 14th place and worked
ING CARS<br />
his way up to 10th position whilst following the 2015<br />
Champion, Brendon Pingel, throughout the race.<br />
In race four Harley started in 12th place. He got off to<br />
a stellar start and gained a few places before an early<br />
safety car. Once the race restarted Harley stayed out<br />
of trouble and got himself into 6th position keeping<br />
many of the front-runners behind him.<br />
Due to a great race four performance and other<br />
drivers’ misfortune Harley came out on top in the<br />
Rookies Championship for the round.<br />
“It is looking like this will possibly mark the end of<br />
me racing Aussie Racing Cars, for this year and<br />
potentially forever”, says Harley.<br />
Due to lack of funds Harley and his team will not be<br />
racing in New Zealand later this year, instead they<br />
will be putting everything towards making next year<br />
possible in another category.<br />
Harley’s next chapter in racing will begin when he<br />
attends the Confederation of Australian Motorsport in<br />
Wodonga for a test day in a Jayco Australian Formula<br />
4 car.<br />
Harley says that he has had a great year in Aussie<br />
Cars and eventually the time comes to move onto<br />
bigger and better things.<br />

BRAZILIAN JUI JITSU<br />
come number one and get the gold medal.<br />
On the 22nd of May I went to the Philippines to<br />
compete in the Pan Asian International Competition<br />
for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.<br />
There were many competitors representing so many<br />
countries throughout the world and I was very glad to<br />
represent Australia and the Phillipines, fighting in my<br />
home country.<br />
Out of ten competitors I was fortunate enough to<br />
I just want to say a big thank you to the St Andrews<br />
College community for all the support you have given<br />
me, especially for the big help you gave me last year<br />
with all the fund raising.<br />
Thank you Mr Vidot for approving everything and<br />
giving me the continuous support in my sport and<br />
always believing in me.<br />

best 22 Kiwi baseball players and added to the New<br />
