Guild Athletics Carnival

Jo Dunn on 13/08/2019

The 2019 Guild Athletics Carnival was held at the State Athletics Stadium on Thursday 8 August. We had an impressive number of students participating in all track and field events, which wasn’t damped by some cooler weather and drizzle at times. I wish to congratulate every student that challenged themselves to compete. The sense of pride and Guild spirit present on the day was obvious.

Chisholm Guild is to be congratulated for winning the overall Carnival. Additionally, we had an impressive four records broken on the day.

There were many people that contributed to making the Guild Athletics Carnival a successful event. Thank you to the Physical Education staff for their help in preparing and running the Carnival. Additionally, thank you to the staff who worked as officials, the student helpers, the Guild Coordinators, and the Year 12 Student Leaders. Also, thank you to Mrs Rolanda Geneff who volunteered her own time to provide assistance on the day.

Download 2019 ACC Athletics Training Schedule

The A Division ACC Athletics Carnival will be held on Wednesday 18 September. Students in Years 7-10 will also compete in the annual NAS Athletics Meet on Tuesday 27 August. Both events will be at the State Athletics Centre (more information will be emailed closer to the competition dates). The NAS Athletics Meet gives students a further chance to press for Final Team selection.

We have Specialist Coaches in place for all track and field events. It is very important that the team commits to the program and each athlete gets to as many sessions as possible.

We are all looking forward to a very exciting and rewarding Athletics season!

Run Club

A reminder that all students from Lavalla and Marcellin are welcome to attend any of these sessions. It is recommended that students get to at least one session per week. Students will become more motivated if they get into a routine and feel themselves improving.

Sessions;

Tuesdays 7.10am – 8.10am followed by breakfast
Thursdays 7.10am – 8.10am followed by breakfast

This Semester there are 3 tiers to the program;

Lavalla Group: Coach Lenny Hughes (Level 4 Accredited National Athletics Coach)
Intermediate Group: Coach Torren Diletti (State Runner and 4 times ACC Cross Country Champion)
High Performance Group: Coach Ben Chamberlain (National Runner and 4 times ACC Cross Country Champion)

Students are to meet on the steps outside the PE office on the Marcellin Campus in their PE/Running uniform. Students are to bring their own bowl and spoon for our team breakfasts afterwards. Hope to see as many runners on the track as possible!

Strength and Conditioning Program

Students in Years 7-12 are offered the opportunity to be a part of the Strength and Conditioning Program.

Sessions:

Mondays and Wednesdays Lunchtimes (School Gym)
Fridays 7.30am – 8.15am (at the new pool training facility) followed by breakfast

The focus of these sessions is to improve core strength, aerobic endurance and flexibility. This complements everything they might be doing at Club training and over time will improve speed, performance, confidence and help build resilience against injury.

Cricket Registrations

The WACA, in association with the College, are launching the new season with a promotional event at the College on Wednesday 21 August from 3.30pm. All students are invited to come along and join in a free fun training session with prizes, give aways and music. Students should express their interest by coming down to the PE office on each respective campus.

Building Bridges Project

Jo Dunn on 12/08/2019

On Wednesday 7 August, the College was proud to host the second Building Bridges workshop for the year which saw students from the Australian Islamic College, Carmel School and Carey Baptist College come together to foster harmony, friendship and gain a clearer understanding of each other’s beliefs and culture.

The day began with a concentric circle activity in which the students engaged in a “speed dating” style of dialogue, providing the opportunity for each student to talk to around 25 different students in half an hour.

Following the concentric circle activity, the students enjoyed refreshments and then engaged in small group discussions, which gave them the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of each other’s beliefs and in so doing, to discover that they have more in common, than they previously thought.

It is very rewarding to observe the students take on the challenge of Building Bridges, collaborate with each other, create dialogue and relationship and celebrate their newfound understandings and friendships throughout the Building Bridges Project.

HASS Week

Jo Dunn on 12/08/2019

In Week 3, The Humanities Department organised some exciting activities and opportunities to showcase innovation in teaching and learning in the Humanities and Social Sciences Learning Area on the Marcellin Campus.

Throughout the week, students enjoyed taking part in;

Daily quizzes
Mission Impossible – How well do you know your “Earth”? Enjoy a secret mission to prove how much you know.
Crazy Mummy Competition – How many Ancient Egyptian mummies can you make?
Medieval Maladies – Do you want to know what it was like to suffer the illnesses of the middle ages? See professional make-up artists at work re-creating the pustules and bulboes of the Black Death.
Sustainability Challenge – Join in a scavenger hunt around the College to find items related to Sustainable Development Goals.

It was wonderful to see so much engagement, collaboration and critical thinking across the year groups. Well done to all students.

STEM Festival

Jo Dunn on 12/08/2019

In the lead-up to Science Week 2019, students on both the Marian and Lavalla Campuses enjoyed a fun and engaging day where they had the opportunity to be challenged, collaborate, create and celebrate with their peers as part of the 2019 STEM Festival.

With the focus on sustainability, in particular the three R’s; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, students at Marian enjoyed working with their buddies to look at ways of making sure that our resources last a very long time or even forever! Some of the activities they took part in were; the oil spill activity, recycled musical instruments, water saving options and the marble run.

The Years 3-6 students were challenged to “Think Outside the Box” where they had to create an arcade game using cardboard, other recycled materials and imagination. Once complete, the students had the opportunity to put their games to the test with their peers. The challenge allowed the students to explore their interests and passions; teach critical thinking, resourcefulness, perseverance, teamwork; and brought the community together to foster and celebrate child creativity.

The STEM Festival was a great opportunity for all students to explore and experience Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through engaging hands-on activities and to better understand STEM concepts. All of the notions mentioned shed light on our College’s Vision for Learning Shine through Discovery – Let your light shine (Matthew 5:16)
