吃瓜网

Acknowledgement of Country

Dear Parents/Guardians, Friends & Students of SAC,

This Wednesday, 5 June, marked World Environment Day. Staff and students are aware that care for our common home is central to our mission as a Catholic school. Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, says: 鈥淲e must heed the call of the young people, citizens, associations and scientists urging us to take action, and radically change our relationship with nature and the planet. This collective quest for solutions is what World Environment Day is all about.鈥� The creativity and innovation of our young people will be key to finding these solutions.

Both the Finance Committee and the College Advisory Council have met in the last fortnight. We are grateful to the members of our community (current and past parents, past staff members, Sisters of Mercy and friends of the College) who volunteer their time to support the work of these committees. Their expertise and guidance in ensuring that we remain true to our Mercy values in all activities of the College and in the stewardship of resources are gifts that we do not take for granted. Judy Sailors, Acting Chief Executive of Mercy Education Ltd, was also in Adelaide this week and attended the Council Meeting where she shared her insights into the broader mission of Mercy Education. I would like to acknowledge and thank the Finance Committee and College Advisory Council, pictured below, for their wisdom and generosity.

Sister Judith Redden RSM, Principal of Saint 吃瓜网 College 1983 鈥� 2013, has recently been diagnosed with an invasive bone cancer. Judy has already begun treatment and is responding to this health challenge with her usual optimism and determination. Sr Caroline Ryan, on behalf of the Sisters of Mercy, has invited us to join in prayer for a miracle of healing to support Judy鈥檚 physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing, a miracle that might also advance the cause of Catherine McAuley鈥檚 canonisation. In the month of June, members of the 吃瓜网 community may wish to pray once a day intentionally through Catherine, using the prayer below:

Those of us who were students at SAC during Judy鈥檚 time as Principal, or who have worked alongside her for many years, know her as a woman of great faith and vision. Judy welcomes our prayers and loving thoughts and we wish her well at this challenging time.

We had a wonderful morning welcoming our young friends and parents from Chancery Lane to our first SAC Discovery Day. In celebration of Reconciliation Week, the students and parents participated in a lively music lesson, learning about rhythm and creating beats with rhythm sticks and boom whackers. Ms Maddi Binney's enchanting vocals accompanied the group as they enjoyed classic songs like 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes' and an Acknowledgement to Country in Kaurna. Then, with Ms Viviana Graney, Maja, and our Year 7 helpers Millie and Pearl, the children listened to the story 'Nature all around us' by Kimberly Engwicht and explored nature-themed activities at provocation tables, including learning about native animals and engaging in literacy and numeracy-inspired activities. We can't wait to welcome Chancery Lane's parents and young people to our next SAC Discovery Day in Term 3, where we'll be diving into Literacy and Physical Education lessons. We hope to see you there!

Stage 2 Students Flourish on the Fleurieau Peninsula

Mercy Light: Learning

Outdoor Education, offered to students at Stage 1 and Stage 2 of their secondary studies, offers experiential learning about the natural world and how we interact with it. It enhances students鈥� understanding of conservation and sustainability and their personal and social growth.

Recently Stage 2 Outdoor Education students completed the first of two major expeditions, venturing to Ngarrindjeri country across the Southern Fleurieu for several days of camping and hiking in Deep Creek National Park. Just a few hours' drive from SAC, the park is offers spectacular views, from the far shores of Kangaroo Island to the craggy slopes of Deep Creek Valley.

The outdoors lend challenges and encounters that many young people do not have the opportunity to engage with, from seeing native wildlife up-close in their habitat, to developing knowledge of how to navigate remote areas, create basic shelters, or treat injuries.  Reflecting on this expedition 鈥� one of the last she鈥檒l partake in as a school student 鈥� Alicia Rudko said, 鈥渉iking long distances, camping in tents, preparing our meals and cooking for ourselves helps to build some resilience. I think it鈥檚 important to experience these kinds of challenges because it helps us to stay motivated, to appreciate what we have. After you鈥檝e done a big hike, you feel like you鈥檝e achieved something.鈥�

Alicia鈥檚 peer, Isabelle Crotty, agrees. 鈥淥utdoor Education camps are different from camps we participate in during earlier years. Outdoor Ed camps require us to be more independent, and teachers encourage us to step outside our comfort zone. We sleep in tents that we set up and put down by ourselves, we create our own meal plans and we cook together.鈥�

Outdoor Education teacher, Mr Michael Heath, has vast experience leading such expeditions, instructing students on the importance of understanding group dynamics and leaving minimal impact during their time in environments like Deep Creek.

Alicia says students are taught early on in Outdoor Education that it鈥檚 important to, 鈥渢ake only photographs and leave only footprints!"

The group trekked well over 30 kilometres during this recent trip.

鈥淭he walk was a brisk pace, including stretches of the famous Heysen Trail, with students enjoying the spacious plains and admiring nearby herds of cattle, chasing the last few hours of sunlight. Glowing sunsets are the reward at the end of these long days, and then it鈥檚 time to cook up a storm and debrief on our experiences,鈥� recounts Mr Heath.

Evening debriefs take place around the 鈥榖ush television鈥� 鈥� a campfire 鈥� and offer staff valuable insights into the development of students and the progression of their learning.

Additionally, they help strengthen group bonds and encourage broad discussion.

鈥淚 suggested that we share one sweet memory of the day, and one sour memory of the day,鈥� Alicia explains, 鈥渋t helps us to keep a balanced view, but most people never had a sour thing to share. That鈥檚 because we can focus on the sweet moments. I can remember one student sharing how much she appreciated having full use of her legs. This isn鈥檛 something we would usually say at school, or at the end of a normal day, but being outside and testing our limits helps us to practice gratitude.鈥�

Gratitude doesn鈥檛 end when the expedition does; the journey back to Adelaide is a period of physical, mental and emotional transition. Although tuckered-out, it鈥檚 a time for students and staff to continue sharing memories of their time in nature鈥檚 classroom. Memories of achy limbs from long treks will indeed fade, but it鈥檚 these memories 鈥� those of simple moments of joy, humour and growth 鈥� that last.

National Reconciliation Week is held every year from 27 May - 3 June. These dates are significant because they mark the dates of the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision. 吃瓜网 is now in the third year of its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The RAP outlines the actions our schools is taking to advance reconciliation and create meaningful opportunities to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our community. You can read our school鈥檚 RAP here: 2024-SAC-RAP.pdf

National Reconciliation Week is a hive of activity at SAC. From music to culture, stories and language and opportunities to learn about the history of Reconciliation, all faculties and students across the school lead and learn in the journey towards Reconciliation.

Showcasing First Nations Authors and Illustrators

National Reconciliation Week was celebrated in the library as we showcased First Nations authors and illustrators in all our story sessions. Our Year Two students enjoyed sharing Adam Goodes鈥� Walk with Us and went for their own short walk where they were encouraged to 鈥榮witch on their senses鈥� and experience the sights, sounds and smells of Country. Year One students used Bronwyn Bancroft鈥檚 beautiful illustration style in Come Home to Country to create colourful birds to nest in our library tree. Our Year Five students have been exploring song lines and the Year Sixes appreciated learning more about Sorry Day. Other year levels have enjoyed being immersed in our First Nations picture book collection. Lunchtimes were also popular, with craft activities to celebrate the importance of this special week.

National Reconciliation Week in the PE Faculty

This year SAC netballers will play in the Indigenous Round with newly designed bibs that celebrate Aboriginal culture, designed by Year 12 Tatum McLean and Year 10 Alexis A鈥橦ang. Their design acknowledges the land on which SAC sits and the proud history SAC has in educating girls.

"The netball bib we designed represents our school and wider community coming together. As an all-girls school you can see the symbol for woman on the bib in the outer corners. We wanted to also represent the land that we live, play, and work on, Kaurna land, so we did kangaroo tracks on the sides of the bibs, because Tarntanyangga (Aboriginal name for Victoria Square) means red kangaroo dreaming. We are located right by Tarntanyangga so we thought it was important to represent that on the bib. We are really grateful for the opportunity, and we hope you love it as much as we do! " Tatum and Alexis

NRW in the Music Department

On Wednesday morning, the Primary Choir and the Year 5 and 6 classes were visited by Jessie Lloyd, an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander musician who performs a broad collection of Australian Indigenous songs. An award-winning composer, performer and creative entrepreneur, Jessie is a cultural practitioner of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and is dedicated to the continuation of cultural traditions through the presentation of both contemporary and traditional Indigenous music.

"Jessie Lloyd came to teach us about language, culture and Indigenous songs. I got to see her twice because she came to our Primary choir session as well as a session with all Year 5s and 6s. Jessie is a courageous, influential woman. She inspired me to keep working on my dream of being a performer. I liked her song Red, Black and Yellow. It had a very catchy tune and made me think about the importance of the Aboriginal flag and what it means." Frieda Jerebica 5AV

"Jessie was a very inspirational woman whom I really admired. I really liked how Jessie Lloyd tried to encourage all of us to learn more about the language and songs from the Torres Strait Islands. I liked how she talked about the meaning behind the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags while making it entertaining with her singing and instruments. She was positive and engaging and I was led to discover lots of new information. Jessie was spectacular!" Faith Rewai 5AV

NRW in the Nunga Room

The Nunga Room is open every Tuesday during lunchtime for our First Nations students to come together to hang out and share in fun activities. It鈥檚 a space for students to build bonds with and connections with people in different year levels. This fosters a strong sense of community and cultural identity, allowing students to have a strong support system at school. During National Reconciliation Week, the students enjoyed designing and decorating their own boomerangs, which they took home as special keepsakes.

Later that week, our secondary First Nations students made damper (a type of traditional bread) which was a delicious treat! Food and food-preparation is important to culture and tradition, and the students really enjoyed themselves, while practicing their cooking skills. After a patient wait for the damper to cook, came the obvious highlight of eating it together in The Nunga Room during a rainy lunchtime. 

Another highlight of the week was spending time with and learning from Kira Bain, a Kaurna language teacher and proud Ngarrindjeri woman. Kira taught many students during her day at SAC, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. Students learnt some Kaurna introductions, simple greetings, and conversations. Teaching Kaurna language is crucial in preserving First Nations culture, respecting Kaurna People, and the land we are on, while also fostering reconciliation.

Reconciliation Week in JAM (Justice & Mercy)

Quest for Reconciliation 鈥� A Scavenger Hunt with a Difference

As part of SAC鈥檚 recognition of Reconciliation Week, JAM ran a scavenger hunt. Facilitated by the secondary JAM students, the scavenger hunt transformed the Dunlevie courtyard into a timeline of historic Reconciliation moments in Australia鈥檚 history. This gave students the opportunity to retrace these important steps towards Reconciliation. Upon completion of the scavenger hunt, the theme 鈥淣ow More Than Ever鈥� was revealed to students. This year鈥檚 theme for NRW is an ongoing reminder continue working towards reconciliation, even in times of adversity. When they reached each Reconciliation milestone along the scavenger hunt, students were given a puzzle piece and worked together to piece together the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags, symbolising the need for collective effort and collaboration to continue the work of reconciliation in the future. You can see our flags pieced together in the National Reconciliation Week video!

Wear It Yellow Day raises $442!

SAC was a sea of yellow for our annual Wear It Yellow fundraiser on Friday, supporting First Nations organisation, Children鈥檚 Ground! For a gold coin donation, students and staff donned bright yellow ribbons, scarves, earrings and even yellow eyewear. Wear It Yellow Day raised $442, which will go towards improving the economic, social and educational outcomes for First Nations youth, through Children鈥檚 Ground.

Lowitja O鈥橠onoghue Oration

The Last Daughter Film Screening

To mark the end of National Reconciliation Week, several staff attended a film screening of The Last Daughter. The film conveys the compelling true story of Aunty Brenda Matthews, a Wiradjuri woman from New South Wales, who was removed from her biological family during the 1970s and spent many years being raised by a non-Indigenous foster family. The film conveys reflections from members of Aunty Brenda鈥檚 biological and foster families, and the heart-wrenching impact that Brenda鈥檚 absence had on all their lives, as well as on Brenda鈥檚 own cultural identity. Aunty Brenda, who attended the film screening, left the audience with this powerful message: 鈥淲e all live on this land together. Along this journey, I have learnt to reconcile within myself, so that I can reconcile with others. We listen with our ears, but when we go within ourselves to listen, we can often find the answers we truly need. In sharing this story, there鈥檚 heartbreak, but there鈥檚 joy too. It invites others into the circle and through story sharing and truth-telling, we take steps to reconcile.鈥澨�

Exploring the wilds of Adelaide Zoo!

Over two Fridays our intrepid Year 2 explorers bravely set out to explore the wilds of Adelaide Zoo.听The first overnight camps for these young adventurers were a rousing success and much discovering and learning took place! In between close encounters with Australian native wildlife, Night walks, activities and eating ice-cream, the girls had a sensational time and are still talking about their experiences!

Many species were observed including several favourites such as giant pandas, lions, tiger cubs, maned wolves and a firm favourite the binturong (bear cat) which smells just like buttered popcorn!

Thrilling Comeback: SAC Girls Edge Past Adelaide High to Secure Round 2 Spot!

Our Open knockout Australian rules footballers are through to Round 2 of the statewide school's competition, with a thrilling win against Adelaide High this week!

After a slow start, Olivia Howie instilled some hope with a late snag before the 3-quarter time siren. It was all guns blazing going into the last quarter, with plenty of opportunities in our forward 50. A crafty goal by Gracie Sim and a couple of points dribbled over the line put us within a goal in it in the last minute. Enter: Georgia Robertson!!!听

Bursting through the pack, Georgia was able to find the gap and seal the deal! A gutsy effort all round, and a well deserved 2 point win by SAC!

We look forward to seeing the team progress to Round 2! Stay tuned.
