Catholic College College Newsletter - Term Two Week 5 - 30 May 2019
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents, Students and College Community,
The LifeLink organisation was established by the Archdiocese of
Perth in 1994 to provide for the ongoing nancial and promotional support of agencies established or assisted by the Church. LifeLink’s agencies deliver professional services & caring support to thousands of people in need throughout Western Australia each year. Each year the Archbishop launches his appeal to Catholic Education students, encouraging school to raise not only money but awareness to the cause. His focus this year was faith and walking in the footsteps of Jesus. I was delighted to hear that Emmanuel Catholic College were mentioned by the Archbishop for their efforts in fundraising for LifeLink in 2018. I look forward to the fundraising endeavours of current students across the rest of the Term.
Earlier this week our our Year 7 Student Leaders were presented with their leadership badges. I congratulate all of these students who are acknowledged below, and I look forward to hearing about their positive contribution to the College in their role as Student Leader.
On Tuesday we held our Scholarship Examinations for our incoming
students in Year 7 2019 and Year 7 2020. The Examinations were well attended by over 90 students. The results will be published in the Newsletter on the 28 June. We wish all the attending candidates good luck.
Today a number of students attended the ACC Cross Country
Carnival after many early morning training sessions. Thank you to all staff who assisted today, especially Mr Jarrod Parry for his coordination of the team. I would also like to congratulate all of our competitors on their efforts, and will publish all the nal results in next week's Newsletter. Our Year 12 students nish their exams today and return to normal classes next Tuesday 4 June. Our Year 11's begin their exams on Tuesday, and I wish all students the very best with their preparation and exams.
A reminder to all parents that tomorrow Friday 31 May is a pupil free
day, with students returning to classes on Tuesday 4 June. I hope all of our community enjoy their extra long weekend.

During Week Four, Brother Sheldon a Somascan brother, visited the
College to present the Rosary to groups of our Year 8 Students.
As part of the Year Eight Religion Course, each student was gifted a set of blessed Rosary beads in conjunction with their study of Marian Devotion. Brother Sheldon’s presentations were a great success, engaging the students in the miracles and apparitions of Our Lady, the Mysteries of the Rosary and presenting both how and why the Rosary is prayed.
We have been truly blessed in welcoming Brother Sheldon to our
Emmanuel College community and we hope to invite him back for future educational and spiritual topics.
CATALYST PROGRAM The Year 7-10 Catalyst students recently participated in the Big Science Competition which is an International competition that promotes and encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Most of our students completed this task in three quarters of the time given for the Quiz.
Mr Cornish, the Director of Gifted and Talented Program, will also be
running the Australian National Chemistry Quiz (ANCQ) in July which is a unique chemical education activity targeted at high school academic extension students. The International competition provides a major focus for secondary school students on the relevance of chemistry in an exciting and stimulating way. It is organised by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and last year over 94, 000 students from over 24 countries participated in it. Our students will also be given the opportunity to participate in the Tournament of Minds which will take place in Term 3 this year.
Whilst focusing on their year-long Science and Technology Projects, the Science and Mathematics Catalyst students will have the opportunity later on this week to participate in an activity organised and run by Dr John Goldsmith, an Astrofest award winner and internationally renowned astronomy photographer. This will be a perfect opportunity for students to extend their understanding of the Earth, Cosmology and astronomy as well as using photography and art to consolidate their scienti c understanding.
Dr John Goldsmith is the Director and Developer of Celestial Visions which is inspired by the cosmos, culture and landscape. It is a consultancy, research and astro-imaging and panoramic photography resource centre. He recently attended and won a prestigious award at the AstroFest in Romania and is very knowledgeable on all matters pertaining to Aboriginal Australian Astronomy and science.
The photos above are of Mr Cornish’s Year 7/8 combined Catalyst class working on their project.

_________________________________________________________________ MYSTERY SKYPE CLUB
Last week, the Mystery Skype club had their rst successful call to another classroom somewhere in the world. Mystery Skype is an activity where students connect through Skype and play 20 questions (Yes or No answers) to try and work out where each other are located.
A group of Year 7's came to school early on Tuesday morning to question
a class of students. After some introductions were made, our partner school asked the rst question. Questions asked between the two groups included;
· Are you in the Northern Hemisphere?
· Does your ag have the colour red in it? · Are you a member of the Commonwealth? · Are you located in America? · Do you live on an island?
In the end, the partner class guessed we were in Australia on their eighth question. We took a couple more questions to work out that our partner school was located in South Korea. We then had some time to ask questions about each country and we shared some footage of what it was like outside – the South Korean Class couldn’t believe the space we had as their school was multi story.
We are looking forward to completing more Mystery Skypes this year and collecting the kilometres travelled throughout the year.
Mrs Kylie Kingdon - Head of Humanities and Social Sciences

ENROLMENTS EMMANUEL CATHOLIC COLLEGE ENROLMENTS YEAR 7 2021
Applications for Enrolment for Year 7 2021 (current Year 5 students)
are now due. Interviews have commenced and we envisage all places will be full by the end of Semester 1. As per our Enrolment Policy, rst preference is given to Catholic students and siblings, however late applications may be placed on a waiting list. Applications for Enrolment are available on our website www.emmanuel.wa.edu.au For further details please call Mrs Kelly Lister on 9414 4055 or email enrolments@emmanuel.wa.edu.au _________________________________________________________________
FROM THE FINANCE DESK
Term 2 school fees are now due. It would be appreciated if you could take the time to ensure your account is up to date and arrange payment as soon as possible.
A large number of families set up their payment arrangements
based on the fees and charges set at the commencement of the year however, fail to include the Health Care Card discount and additional charges or declined payments that have occurred during the year. It is imperative that all families check their school fee account and make any necessary adjustments to the payment schedule.
An alternative is to pay any additional charges/declined payments
and retain the current repayment schedule. It is distressing for families to get to the end of the year and nd that the school fee account is in arrears – it is not the responsibility of the College to manage your school fee account.
Please contact Rachel or Maria on 9414 4050 should you have any queries regarding your account.
We thank you for your continued support and co-operation.
AND SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS On enrolment of your child at Emmanuel Catholic College, it is a requirement that you grant or deny permission for your child's photographs to be used in College publications and on social media (ie College website, newspaper articles, College Facebook page and Digital signs).
If you do NOT want photographs of your child published online or
submitted to the print media and you are not sure if you made this clear on your enrolment from, please notify the College's Marketing O ce via email marketing@emmanuel.wa.edu.au immediately.
Parents are also reminded that the College does not authorise the publishing of photographs taken at College events, in which students other than your own child are included.
Permission of the other students' parents/guardian is required.
