Future Provision of Secondary Education
Last week I emailed all families the decision from CEW
regarding the future provision of secondary education.
Families new to Catholic College may not be fully aware
of why the decision needed to be made. In 2014 CEW
(Catholic Education Wodonga) purchased 17.2 hectares
of land at Baranduda. Since that time CEW has utilised
the skills of Julie Bridges to facilitate a community
consultation. The CEW Future Provisions Committee used
the feedback from the community consultation to prepare
recommendations to CEW Council. This process led to
the following recommendations, which were published in
the letter to our community:
1. Catholic College Wodonga remain a single campus
secondary school. The decisions regarding the future
of the Year 9 program and Nganala site will be made at
Catholic College as a local decision.

Leadership Reflection
This week we have experienced an amazing transition
into the days of cooler temperatures and greater rainfall.
I found these inspirational quotes recently. Enjoy!
Shane Piper, eLearning Coach
Catholic College Wodonga
These recommendations now allow Catholic College to
look closely at what our educational needs will be in the
years to come. As you would be aware from previous
newsletters, we are currently completing a literature
review to assist us in developing a learning and teaching
framework. This framework will clearly articulate our
beliefs as educators and will assist us in establishing a
vision for learning and teaching.
Whilst we complete the Learning and Teaching Framework
we will also commence a new masterplan for both the main
campus and the Year 9 site in the second half of the year.
Our current masterplan was completed in 2010. Over the
past two years we have made a number of improvements
to our site, such as removing old portables and upgrading
the fire hydrant ring. A new masterplan, based on our
Learning and Teaching Framework, will mean that the
spaces we build and modify will reflect the direction we
believe education is heading in the years to come.

Open Day
Parent walks
Last Thursday we conducted our Open Day for all new
students in 2017. On the night we had over 75% of our staff
and 100 students from Years 7 – 12 assist us to deliver a
very successful evening. We had over 170 families and
450 people attend the evening.
We have set new parent walks for the next two terms.
These dates have times which I hope will provide more
opportunities for parents to come and see our school on
a normal day.
On evenings such as the Open Day I am always taken
aback by the way our students volunteer to highlight the
wonderful work of our staff and the opportunities they
believe make their life so enjoyable at Catholic College.
I would like to thank the staff who gave up their evening to
assist with the night. The direction and coordination given
by Jodie Kensington and Libby M’Crystal leading up to,
and on, the evening was first class.

Open Day
We hosted a larger number of families this year than
last year, with more than 170 families registering on the
day. That equated to more than 450 visitors coming
through the doors.
Most of those involved children currently in Year 6,
but we also welcome families with students in Year 7
to 11. As expected, most of our visitors came from
Wodonga but we were delighted that families travelled
from Albury, Howlong, Chiltern, Table Top, Rutherglen,
Lavington, Tallangatta, Beechworth and elsewhere in
the Indigo and Kiewa Valleys.
Well done to everyone who volunteered their time: from
the teaching staff who spent hours setting up displays,
to the admin team who did the ‘finer detail’ elements,
to the students who worked as tour guides, hospitality
assistants, musicians, ushers and ICT support.
Particular thanks must go to Mason Wise in Year 10.
Apart from offering overall IT support for the event, he
helped create a slide show and Year 9 video for the
4 – 6pm session and a powerpoint presentation for
the information session. Mason conducted himself in a
very professional manner and was a great asset to the
Open Day team.
Thanks also to Year 7 students Sophie Weppner and
Juliana Spurlock and Year 12 student Hannah McKerral
who gave terrific speeches at the information session
between 6 – 7pm that ended Open Day.
Almost 100 students volunteered, and more than 90
staff played their part in welcoming newcomers to our
wonderful school.
Just a reminder that enrolments for all year levels
going into the ‘bulk enrolment process’ for 2017 will
be accepted until Friday 30 May.
This includes families with children at St Augustines,
St Francis and St Monicas. A copy of the enrolment
application can be downloaded here.
For further information contact Jodie Kensington on
02 6043 5534 or jodie.kensington@cccw.vic.edu.au.

VCE Excursion to Top Screen & Top Design
VCE Media involves the creation of an individual
production which can consist of a short film, a series
of photos, a magazine spread or an animation. To
help inspire our CCW VCE Media students for their
production this year, we took them to Top Screen at
ACMI and Top Design at the Melbourne Museum on
Friday 29 April. Both exhibitions showcased the very
best of the 2015 VCE Media productions. Despite the
rain we all had a great time and particularly enjoyed
the short film made by a Catholic College Bendigo
student titled ‘10’. Students are now busy getting to
work on their own brilliant media productions, and who
knows, maybe they’ll be part of the Top Screen/Top
Design showcases in 2017!

your child’s Science teacher or Learning Mentor as soon

generously sponsored students for 100% of the cost of the
experience (although that may vary if significant numbers
of high quality applicants are received.)

School Immunisation - Transfer of contact information to local council
The secondary school vaccine program helps ensure students and communities are protected from diseases
such as diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, human papillomavirus and chicken pox.
Local councils deliver the program and schools distribute the vaccine consent forms.
Recently the Public Health and Wellbeing Regulations 2009 were amended to authorise schools to release
parent and student information to local councils so that councils can follow up with parents after the consent
forms have been distributed.
This means that we will provide your local council with your contact details and a local council representative
may contact you with vaccine program information. If you do not wish for your details to be provided to your local
council, please advise Karen Coates, Office Manager in writing before close of business on Friday, 13 May.
If you are unable to contact me by the above date you will need to contact the officer responsible for the vaccine
program at your local council, in the event that you have queries about your contact details.
Every day immunisation saves lives and makes it possible for Victorians to live free from illness and disability
caused by many infectious diseases. All Victorian secondary students can receive these vaccines for free through
the school-based program.

Dom Helder Camara of Recife, Brazil, one of the 20th century’s greatest
Christians. As Archbishop of Recife, Dom Helder was famous for his tireless
work in assisting and defending the rights of the poor in Brazil.
To commemorate his visit in 1985, an annual series of lectures was initiated to
continue his message of peace and justice for all.
“Dom Helder’s is a story of peace, hope, prayer, compassion and of
spreading the Good News within society. The lectures are a source of hope

Join us this Pentecost Sunday after the 10.30 Mass.
Enjoy a variety of foods. We also encourage you to wear traditional

Painting by Father Junray
This Sunday, in our Liturgical Year, we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. The gospels
during the Easter season emphasised Jesus’ promise to send the Holy Spirit to be with
the disciples.
In Jesus’ time Pentecost was an established Jewish observance, an autumn harvest
festival that had become a commemoration of the revelation of God on Mt Sinai, the
giving of the Torah, and the making of the covenant. (Break Open The Word 2016: The
Book for Readers, p.84)
For Christians Pentecost is celebrated as the birth of the Church. The early disciples
were given the gift of the Spirit and they were able to take on the challenge and call to
spread the good news to all.
Fr. Junray’s painting vividly depicts this significant event. We are reminded that the fruits
and gifts of the Spirit have been imparted to us and that we now have the responsibility
of bringing the good news to all.
