From the Deputy Principal/Head of Senior School

Kate MortimerThe first two weeks of school have predictably gone by in the blink of an eye and it has been fantastic to see the enthusiasm with which the girls have returned. Students in the Senior School have settled into their new common rooms, with Year 10 and 11 being provided with their own areas for the first time. It is important, particularly in the senior years, to ensure that the girls have a space they can call their own. Buildings shape people, and part of our role is to provide the girls with a range of additional responsibilities. Often, new areas come with privileges which are accompanied by additional responsibility. I am looking forward to seeing how the girls manage the spaces they have been given.
 
Wellbeing Logo2
 
 
 
 
Last week saw the commencement of delivery of content for our new #EMPOWHER wellbeing program. This is an exciting and important time for the School. We live in an environment where young people face a variety of issues that significantly impact on their overall wellbeing. Stress levels have increased, as have mental health conditions. Sleep has reduced and the impact of social media on self-confidence is well-documented. The role of the School is to ensure our girls are provided with solid topical information across a range of areas. This base information must be accompanied with a variety of tools and strategies that the girls can use.

The curriculum that has been developed is reflective of the specific needs of our girls. This data was secured through the comprehensive Wellbeing survey which all girls completed last year. We have also considered national and international research on the health of young women.

Delivery this year is focused on Years 7 – 12 and much work has been done in developing resources for these lessons. All girls will have #EMPOWHER content delivered by their Home Group teacher each Tuesday and Thursday. Lessons are consistent across year groups and staff in each year group have the same lesson plans, tools and strategies. The key to successful wellbeing programs is consistent delivery and we have taken steps to ensure all girls will receive essential content. We will also communicate topics and tools to our parent community as the year progresses.

While delivery has started, the program will be officially launched by Commonwealth, World and Olympic Track Cycling Champion Anna Meares.

Anna is considered by many to be the greatest female track cyclist of all time, and in Rio she became the first Australian athlete to win four individual medals at four consecutive Olympic Games. She suffered serious injuries in a crash in 2008 which left her with a hairline fracture in her C2 vertebrae. Anna has collected 18 gold, 16 silver and 10 bronze medals at Commonwealth, World and Olympic events.

Her story of resilience, determination and courage is inspirational, and we are very excited to hear her tell it. Anna will be at the School talking to Years 6 – 12 on Monday 19 February.

The Tutor Program

The Tutor Program will be commencing in Week 4 in the new Library and I encourage you to discuss with your daughter the benefits of using this service. Tutors are Old Scholars and the girls can book tutors who are skilled in particular subject areas. Bookings can be made through CANVAS each morning and afternoon, apart from Monday morning and Friday afternoon.

Global Academy – Saints Girls Return From New Jersey

W2 New Jersey

In January, five Year 10 Saints Girls had the amazing opportunity to travel to New Jersey, USA for an exchange program with Kent Place School.

We arrived on the coldest day that New York had seen in 5+ years, reaching a low of around -12 degrees celsius. For the two of us who had never seen snow, the temperature change was more than a massive shock. We were able to bond with our host families and started making friends within the Kent Place community, creating lifelong connections. We were immediately exposed to the huge American portion sizes which were at first too much to handle. However, by the end of the trip we could proudly say that we ate like Americans, if not possibly more. – Hattie Maerschel

Four weeks in a foreign country sounds daunting, however after completing the New Jersey exchange program, it is safe to say that it was the best month any one could imagine. Kent Place School was the most welcoming community, and walking into the environment, we could tell that the next month was going to be sensational. All of the Australian girls participated in the school’s normal classes, some joined the swimming team and others contributed to the school’s clubs and committees. I was fortunate enough to go to Philadelphia and Washington DC with my host family and discovered many historical and cultural differences America has to offer. Although the weather was undoubtedly cold, the occasional snow fall made it all worthwhile. This program has been a life-changing experience and a journey that I will never forget. I have met some of my closest friends who I will miss every day and have discovered a new home on the other side of the world. – Bella Bernardi

This has been one of the best experiences and opportunities that I’ve ever had. It was very special as we were the first ever group of girls to be a part of the American exchange! We have created so many new friendships with the Kent Place girls, as well as the teachers! We quickly felt like part of the community and made connections with so many people! We learnt how to play many games during our frees and once spent an hour and a half playing a card game! A special connection was with my host sister Sofia; we bonded over an interesting mix of ukulele and my limited ability of Mario Kart Wii! Whilst in America, I travelled to many places including Washington, New York (twice!) and Philadelphia. One special memory was participating in the Women’s March in Washington – it was extremely empowering being around so many strong, intelligent, powerful women! I’ll never forget it! I’ve learnt so much over the past month and I encourage any current Year 9s to apply for this amazing experience! – Madison McGregor-Simms

I stayed with an amazing host family and made life-long friends. Over the four weeks, we completed many activities in and out of school. I was able to travel up to New York a couple of times to do different things. I saw Wicked on Broadway, did some shopping in Soho, went up the Empire State Building, experienced the lights of Times Square, strolled through Central Park and did much more. I was able to experience New York in a different way because my host family used to live there, so I saw all the secret non-touristy spots. School was also so much fun. One of my favourite memories was playing a very intense card game during my free and let’s just say I have a few battle scars. I have made some great memories and friends that I can never forget. I can’t wait for the girls to come to Australia and experience Saints. – Abbie Lisle

Going on exchange has been a fantastic experience that I’m sure none of us will ever forget. I don’t think I have ever been more excited in my life for the first day of school. Kent Place is such an amazing school with a great sense of community. The girls of Kent Place were so welcoming to us visitors and made us feel at home, even if we were taking a class that we had no idea how to do! I’m sure all of us are extremely sad to have had to say goodbye but we are looking forward to welcoming our girls to Saints. – Hannah Keough

Saints Girls Gear Up For Stellar AFL Season

W2 AFL photo
 
After the success of the Senior inter-school matches and the Middle School carnival last year, AFL is being offered as a structured sport amongst the 10 independent girls’ schools.

Girls can select AFL in the Winter Sports nominations due out via email in Week 3, however we will only be able to submit one Open (Years 10 – 12) and one Middle (Years 7 – 9) team.

Based on interest, a series of trials will be held at school to select 22 players in each of these two teams. Most of the rules will follow on from the AFLW and St Peter’s Girls is again excited to be working with the Payneham Norwood Union Football Club where our Friday night home games will be played. Full details and the season fixture will be available once all schools nominate.

Payneham Norwood Union is holding a Come N’ Try Footy Day this Sunday 11 February. They are also looking for junior players.

Our Director of Music Goes Global

Sherborne Girls 096.jpg

Over the Christmas break, I was lucky enough to be sent by the School to our sister school in the UK, Sherborne Girls, a Years 7 – 13 all-girls’ boarding school two hours west of London. I went there hoping to be inspired and motivated by fabulous teaching, amazing music and wonderful people. I was not disappointed.

Over the three weeks, I met some extremely passionate and highly-skilled teachers who welcomed me with open arms into their classrooms, boarding houses and ensemble rehearsals. I observed wonderful teaching, taught some classes myself, went on excursions, conducted choirs, gave professional development training to the music staff and I even watched a game of lacrosse on a Saturday afternoon when the temperature was four degrees! Of course, I also completed some mandatory shopping in London and surrounding towns such as Bath and Bristol.

The highlight of my time was meeting John Jenkins, the Director of Music at Sherborne Girls, and his wonderful music staff. John is an amazing musician, conductor and public speaker, and I cherish the one-on-one time I had to talk with him and to reflect on our respective Music Departments. Watching him conduct his outstanding choir the “Madrigals”, a classical version of our Enchante and the combined Sherborne Symphony Orchestra, was a real treat.

Being located very closely to Sherborne Boys, the two schools combined for several musical groups including their Sinfonia and Symphony Orchestra. I have been inspired to try make closer links with our local boys’ schools’ music programs on the back of the observations I made from watching these two schools so successfully connect on a musical level. In fact, I am currently working on a combined Concert Band venture with PAC on 12 April, the last week of school.

I am truly blessed to have been given the chance to venture to the other side of the world to collaborate with and learn from other music educators, and I thank the School for giving me this opportunity.

Year 2s Enjoy Space Mission

W2 SpaceDome

The SpaceDome incursion on Friday 2 February was an absolutely amazing experience. We began by finding out about the planets in our solar system, as we measured out the relative distances across the Arts Centre floor. Then, we crawled through the long dark tunnel into the star-filled dome. We saw the constellations and heard stories from different cultures. This is a terrific provocation to our current inquiry, and leads us beautifully into the exploration of day and night and the seasons as we begin to understand the complex system that we live in.

eChallenge Winners’ Day@Microsoft

W2 Day at Microsoft

Along with their equal-first prize eChallenge victory, winners Isobel Tan, Teegan Lindsay, Aditi Tamhankar and Annabelle Langley also won the Day@Microsoft prize valued at $10,000. Hosted by State Director Dr Eva Balan-Vnuk on 1 February, the girls participated in a variety of activities including a tour of the offices, targeted audience marketing and a motivating cover story vision exercise. Highlights of the day were personally-delivered tech start-up founder stories, and experiencing the latest in virtual reality and HoloLens technology. The girls gained a deep knowledge of the opportunities before them. They were very appreciative of Dr Balan-Vnuk’s personalised efforts in organising and hosting the day.

ROWING

Saturday 5 February
The first Super School Series this past weekend was a great success for all Saints Girls’ crews. It was an opportunity to see where we are sitting within our age categories in the lead up to Head of the River and to familiarise ourselves with the West Lakes course. The Seniors had a great day of racing, placing third in both the heat and the final. The 1st VIII worked well on maintaining speed throughout the race but will continue to work on finesse and composure at a high rating. I was extremely happy with the day, there were great weather conditions and a top effort from Juniors to Seniors. – Olivia Compare (Captain of Boats)

1st VIII: The importance of a Super School Series regatta could not go unnoticed. In performing well, the girls would earn their crew a spot to compete at Head of the River. We placed third in both the heat and final, improving our finish time each race. Battling through the heat showed the determination and endurance of the crew. We were able to row through Seymour College at the 1km mark, which proved the fitness of our girls is of a high standard. After assessing the heat, the final was a chance to show we could improve on what needed to be addressed. We closed the gap significantly between third and second place, and finished off with more length on other crews. – Amy Carrodus (Cox)

Inters A: This week, there was a mix of Inters and Juniors due to girls being absent. The crew consisted of Charlotte Sellars (Stroke), Olivia Kelly (Three Seat), Keely Flannagan (Two Seat) and Emma Carrodus (Bow). We placed fourth in the heat but unfortunately came last in the final when Olivia’s oar snapped. – Charlotte Creek (Cox)

Year 9A: Our first heat gave us the qualifying time to be in the final. The crew of Keely Flannagan, Ella Waltham, Olivia Kelly, Molly Bond and Jodi Papendorf placed third with a time of 4.08. – Jodi Papendorf (Cox)

Both girls achieved much success during the summer holidays!
