Principal's Message

The beginning of each school year is always an exciting and enjoyable time. With our whole school celebrations, inter house and inter school swimming and soon athletics, year level community building through camps and retreats, Lions Youth of the Year representation and incursions and excursions to complement in class learning programs, we are certainly ‘fully engaged’, full of life and celebrating our Mercy Core Value of ‘Community”. We are very grateful that almost all of these ‘normal’ celebrations for MRC are happening this year as we know them.

Last week we gathered with our 2021 VCE Dux of Study award recipients and our 2021 College Dux Sarah McSween. ‘Excellence and Achievement’ and ‘Learning” are also Mercy Core Values and our ceremony recognised valued learning and personal excellence and achievement. We congratulate all of our award recipients. As Dux, Sarah gave a speech to her peers and community. Sarah thanked her family, teachers and peers for supporting and enabling her to be her best. Sarah also reflected on the value of making mistakes to enhance learning. I share an excerpt with you below.

"As I reflect back on my own experience, I realise the most valuable parts of VCE is when I did get things wrong and I did make mistakes, because that is when I found the motivation and more importantly the discipline to try harder and to ask more questions and to use more resources. So my advice is to try your best, but also to not get disheartened if you fail or if you fall behind, and to remind you that the best way to learn is to make mistakes."

- Sarah McSween, College Dux 2021

Thank you to all students, staff, families, former staff and parish and community members for your valued contribution to our Vision, Mission, Values and Mantra Review. This review is part of our 2021-2025 School Improvement Plan and 2022 Annual Action Plan. Also part of these plans is the development of our Facilities Master Plan. We are very pleased to be able to share these plans with you on our website in the near future. We are very close to beginning the tender process for Stage 1 for the O’Keeffe Campus which includes the refurbishment of the staff and student amenities.

I am pleased to share with you our recent partnership agreement between Mercy Regional College and THINK Psychology led by Dr Nicole Carvill PhD. Clinical Psychologist Bianca Liew will be available for Mercy students once a fortnight on a Friday as part of our Wellbeing Team and will provide valuable support for students and families. Please contact Deputy Principal - Staff & Students Berni Sinnott for more details. Bianca shares the following bio with us:

I am a clinical psychologist currently working in a community mental health service. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families across school and clinical settings in both individual and group formats. I value providing a space for children, young people and their families to process and better understand themselves, their emotional experiences, relational patterns, ways of thinking and learning. I am interested in fostering a warm and supportive therapeutic relationship where clients have an experience of feeling heard and validated. I strive to work collaboratively with families, schools and other support networks around a child/young person to provide holistic support.

On Wednesday 2 March we will observe Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, with a whole school liturgy in the de Chantel Stadium in Camperdown. This will be our first opportunity to gather together in faith. We will reflect on the importance of doing good work and acting selflessly and with compassion whilst enhancing our awareness of prayer and reflection. MRC launches our support for Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion appeal each Ash Wednesday - a practical way of bringing to life our campaign of Christian service. The theme for 2022 is “For All Future Generations” focusing on changing the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Please use this link if you would like to donate to Project Compassion.

The College is busy preparing for our Open Day which will be held on Wednesday 23 March. This year we will host a “School in Action” Open Day with all MRC students onsite continuing their learning whilst we warmly welcome prospective students and families to come and experience our College and share in all it has to offer. Open Day will be held at our McAuley Camperdown campus with tours and information sessions complemented with learning experiences and the opportunity to speak with students and staff who will share what learning and life at Mercy looks and feels like. Everyone is genuinely welcomed at Mercy. Please visit our website for more details on Open Day and for Enrolment information and processes or contact College Registrar Nicole Darcy. We have many support processes and services available should these be required.

Resister for MRC Open Day 2022

I finish this week with some COVID operations updates. We are awaiting a new CECV School Operations Guide however the following arrangements were announced last week by the Premier Daniel Andrews:

RA Testing will continue in schools for the remainder of Term 1. We expect new RA tests to arrive for distribution at the end of this week and then every fortnight following. We appreciate your support in continuing regular RA testing to keep our community safe and well. Please continue to notify us if your child tests positive to COVID or if they are considered a household contact. Please also be aware that students who remain COVID negative are not subject to rolling isolation as per DHHS and CECV guidelines:
- Student/staff household contacts should quarantine for 7 days from the date of the first positive test of the household index case.
- Household contacts are not subject to rolling quarantine periods. If the index case remains in the household, or if subsequent cases are identified within the household, the quarantine end date for the close contact is unchanged.
Additional Air Purifiers will be delivered to MRC between now and June to further enhance ventilation in classrooms, particularly as the weather becomes colder and air circulation is reduced with the necessary closing of windows and doors.
QR codes for parents are currently still in place although we expect notification of possible changes to this requirement in the near future.
Masks are still required indoors this week but will not be required as of Monday 28 February. Masks will remain compulsory on all buses.

Our Mercy Regional College community has been most fortunate that we have not had significant staff numbers impacted by COVID-19 such that we have continued to provide quality learning and teaching and student care. I do need to remind families that this could change quickly and the school may be required to ask some classes or year levels to stay home if we do not have adequate staff numbers able to be onsite. We hope that this is not the case, but if it does become a necessity, we will work hard to minimise any disruption.

With kindness

Learning at MRC

Introducing PASS - Personally Assisted Study Sessions

In the coming weeks we will be commencing supervised and supported study sessions in our McAuley Library after school each Monday and Wednesday from 3.30pm to 4.30pm. The purpose of PASS is:

To provide opportunities for busy young people to complete their homework and study at school to free up more time for sport, work, and rest.
To provide extra teacher support for senior students.
To provide an opportunity to support students to deepen/strengthen/extend their knowledge in specific areas.
To support families to spend more quality time together.
To enhance our school’s learning culture by making study ‘visible’, warm and inviting.

Ideally at least two teachers will volunteer their time for each afternoon and PASS may look like:

Teachers assisting students with classwork / SAC preparation / folio preparation
Students studying / completing homework independently
Students studying / working collaboratively

Students who attend will be provided with a snack of fruit and biscuits. We will also run our school buses to Cobden/Timboon and Terang at 4.30 to support families with transport.

It would be fabulous if families could support PASS by encouraging their young people to attend, whether it is simply to get homework and study out of the way or to receive targeted learning support.

Year 11 Job Camp

Over two days the Year 11 students along with a small group of Year 10 & Year 12 students completed Job Camp, hosted by Short Courses Australia from Melbourne. The students successfully completed Provide First Aid (HTLAID011) and Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) (SITHFAB002) courses.

Both these courses provide valuable knowledge and skills to the students for the workplace and also in the community. These courses provided hands-on learning, along with theory and assessment.

We thank Graham Jopling who delivered the First Aid course and Johnathon Ainscough (RSA course), for their expertise, informative content, guidance and excellent delivery of these courses.

Year 7 ACER Testing

Our newest students have really hit the ground running with their learning, and settling in to Year 7 life. Now that they have become proficient with navigating their new Macbooks, the Year 7's have been completing online ACER ‘Progressive Achievement Testing’ in the areas of Mathematics and Reading Comprehension. These tests are administered by students’ Maths and English teachers, in class time. The tests are designed to provide assessment data for all students, to identify starting points for learning and target teaching. The tests will be carried out again at the end of the year to allow teachers to identify areas of growth, and any gaps in skills. Like all testing, the PAT tests provide a snapshot in time of how a learner is progressing, and the results are used alongside other assessments and observations to help teachers to plan for all learners’ needs.

PEAK

An exciting addition to the Year 8 curriculum this year is the PEAK program. PEAK stands for ‘Passion, Exploration, Advancement and Knowledge’, and the program centred around student led, project based learning. Across each fortnight students have a single period with their homeroom, and then a double period where the whole cohort is able to gather and work collaboratively. The initial focus for students is team building, following the challenging past year. Next, students are getting to know more about themselves and their passions, as they work towards understanding what drives them to be curious and seek more knowledge, identifying and solving problems and creating supportive networks. Over the course of the year students will have the opportunity to listen to guest speakers, design a project of their own and see it to fruition, before presenting their process and finished product to peers, families and our school community. It has been brilliant to be involved in these first few weeks, discovering more about what drives our students, and where their varied passions lie. We cannot wait to see what they explore and achieve over the year.

VCAL News

VCAL has started the year promisingly. Work Placements in a range of industries have begun successfully and school work including multiple larger projects has been initiated. In Literacy, they have been learning about support dogs. Inviting a special canine guest to Mercy and planning an excursion to visit the Maremma working dogs at Middle Island in Warrnambool. They are also exploring persuasive techniques and investigating the have been looking at the recent ‘ban the mullet’ controversy at a Ballarat school. In Numeracy, they have worked on the Beijing Winter Olympics. Addressing the scheduling of events, time zones, scoring systems and results in an authentic manner. Students have been identifying different leadership styles and characteristics and how they relate to motivation and achievement. They have supported the College with the promotion and assistance of the BBQ at the Swimming with great success and are working with the College Wellbeing Team to coordinate events throughout the year. Planning for transforming the VCAL classroom has begun. They have been exploring workplace hazards and learning essential work skills through their participation in job camp.

STEAM News

In STEAM, our Year 7's started the year with some collaborative challenges. These included the ‘Catapult challenge’ and ‘Marshmallow challenge’, using pop sticks and elastic bands to propel an object and marshmallow, uncooked spaghetti, masking tape and string respectively. The Year 8’s have begun to employ design thinking to a range of challenges including problem solving throughout soft and hardware potentials, integration of multiple systems, collaborative ICT use and the output potentials of the 3D printer and laser cutter. The Yr 10’s have begun to delve into their curiosities and completed an ‘Auto Designs’ for specific end user/s. They employed the design cycle to redesign and prototype a range of innovative mask ideas to improve our COVID mandated fashion. There has been lots of debate throughout the design process and much laughter when it has come to seeking feedback and testing their creative solutions.

Year 12 English - Strive for 25!

The paradox of VCE study is the focus on the whole person of the student, and highlighting that they are not defined by their results at the end of Year 12. The paradox comes into play when tertiary study is considered, especially in regards to the Study Score requirements for university course entry- usually 25 out of a maximum of 50.

With over 47,000 students a year completing Units 3&4 English, achieving a score of at least 25 is no easy feat, and something to be commended! Achieving this score is the key to options for a school leaver in many ways - giving them the option to study or pursue a path they want, rather than having to seek an alternative.

Considering the disruptions to study that the pandemic and remote-learning experience have thrust upon us, our focus for the class of 2022, particularly in their English studies, is to ‘Strive for 25.’ This will be achieved through a number of small steps and adjustments in our teaching and learning; with the emphasis being on empowering our students to carefully track their progress over the course of the year, to ensure that they are aware of their likely outcome.

Additionally, Personally Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) after school - a mainstay of VCE life at MRC have returned and are open to all students. More information about VCE, English, VTAC and life after MRC can be found on the Careers Page of the Website, and at upcoming VCE information sessions.

Dictionaries Return to the Classroom

With the past two years relying heavily on computers, there has been a noticeable decline in the accuracy of the students' written work, particularly in regards to their technical use of the English language - namely spelling, punctuation and sentence structure. As these are areas that are vital for success at all levels in the school, much time and thought has been dedicated to devising a plan to address this.

To support our students into the future, and to rebuild some of those practical language and communication skills, the Learning@Mercy Team and the English Domain have invested in class sets of dictionaries and thesauruses for all Years 7 to 9 homerooms. Once a mainstay of the classroom; these resources were largely replaced by iPads and the MacBooks over the past decade; though they have always remained a book listed item for Years 10-12; primarily due to their use as resource in the classroom, as well as the fact that they are able to be taken into VCAA examinations and the GAT in Years 11 and 12. Additionally, many SACs, especially in English, allow for dictionaries to be used.

The aim of this significant investment is to support the development of our students’ research and communication skills not only in English but in all subject areas. It also serves to support our ‘Improving Literacy in the Secondary Years Program’ - an initiative of the Catholic Education Office Ballarat focused on Humanities and Science learning areas. Already, they have seen heavy use in some classrooms, especially as students look to find new, interesting and occasionally hilarious ways to express themselves!

Community & Wellbeing

Resilience Project 2022 / MERCY

This year is the fourth year we have worked with The Resilience Project (TRP). Through the support of TRP, staff share with students Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness conversations and activities that support students’ mental health wellbeing. Each fortnight we will cover a core theme, these will build upon the traditional pastoral care already present in our classrooms.

Core topics include:

Life Skills and Resilience
Building Positive Relationships
Healthy Lifestyle
Physical and Emotional Wellbeing
Study Techniques
School-Life Balance

Life Skills & Resilience

What is Wellbeing and Resilience?

The World Health Organisation defines wellbeing as “the state in which an individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her own community”. In essence, it involves having positive self-image and self-esteem. Resilience is directly related to wellbeing. It is defined as the ability to cope with and adapt to new situations. Given the huge changes that occur with the transition from adolescence to adulthood, if students have a sense of resilience and positive wellbeing, it enables them to approach people and situations with confidence and optimism.

Understanding Resilience

Some young people are more resilient than others and as such, are better able to bounce back from stressful and challenging situations. These students are more optimistic when faced with the stress of daily school life. You could even say they are more optimistic in general. Resilient people have a few things in common, such as:

The ability to make realistic plans and take the necessary steps to see them through.
Self-confidence in their own strengths and abilities.
Good communication and problem-solving skills.
The ability to manage strong feelings and impulses.
They can think flexibly and broadly about their situations.

Uniform

Once again it is a timely reminder that all students must be in the correct school uniform. As the College offers a choice of trans-seasonal uniform, the uniform can be worn in accordance with the weather. However, students must wear either the full summer or full winter uniform. Hats are also compulsory and must be worn outside during Terms 1 and 4. As we are now into Week 4, it is an expectation that all students have the correct uniform.

Assemblies and Altered TT Days

This year we will be trialing a “collapsed timetable” on Assembly Days. In previous years an assembly would have been held during one of the periods of the day and students and staff would have lost significant class time. This year we are looking at reducing every period that day by 5 minutes and creating an “Assembly Period”. This will be 30 minutes in length. A diverse range of topics and activities will take place during the scheduled assembly time. It may be sharing of information, presentations etc or it could also be Year levels, House Groups of Homerooms coming together for challenges and team building activities.

Term 1 Assembly Days will take place in Week 6 (Monday 7 March) and Week 8 (Tuesday 22 March).

Random Acts of Kindness

Last week we marked Random Acts of Kindness Day (17 February) by spending the week thinking about what it means to be kind and how kindness can be embedded in our everyday lives.

The past two years have been hard for each of us in different ways. "The same boat, different storm" saying seems to sum this up well. A focus for our wellbeing is to reconnect in meaningful ways, as many of us have felt the absence of friends and those we love brought about by the social distancing measures put in place to keep as all safe.

Throughout the week, our students have been involved in various activities encouraging them to be kind to others and to help those in need. They were reminded that acts of kindness may be simple, but they have a fantastic power of making a difference. As the culmination of the week, on Wednesday students at both campuses enjoyed a special treat of icy poles and spent time drawing inspirational messages on the pavement.

Year 7 & 8’s have settled in beautifully at our O’Keeffe Campus. It is great to see friendships evolving and students mixing with each other. We have seen the basketball court, footy oval, table tennis tables and our library buzzing with great energy.

During the week we hold a ‘Brick Club’ in the library, this is a fantastic initiative for our students. Students have the opportunity to access a great amount of Lego to build and create anything they wish in a quiet, calming space. We aim to inspire creativity and provide another option for our students at lunchtimes.

Well done to all students that took part in our House Swimming Carnival, a great display of teamwork, determination and spirit. There were a huge number of fantastic swims throughout the day. We hope students had a great day.

Our Year 7 camp is fast approaching on Wednesday 23 February. We look forward to spending 3 days in Cape Bridgewater exploring this fabulous place. Students will have received their camp booklet with the program and clothing/equipment list.

It is with great excitement we introduce our Year 8’s to a new subject this year called PEAK. PEAK stands for Passion, Exploration, Advancement and Knowledge. We will keep you informed throughout the year on the achievements of this subject. To provide a small insight, students use a range of strategies to represent ideas and explain and justify this process. They will evaluate the effectiveness of a range of learning strategies and select strategies that best meet the requirements of a task. Read more about PEAK in the Learning at Mercy section of this newsletter.

Year 12 Retreat

Our Year 12 students participated in Year 12 Retreat on 7-9 February. The Retreat focused around how to deal with challenges, foster a sense of teamwork and unity within the group and help students become more confident in their own personal strengths and capabilities. This was framed within the college theme for 2022 ‘Opening the Doors of Mercy’ and was held in the stunning surrounds of Cave Hill Creek, outside of Beaufort.

The students were involved in a number of fun, team focused games and activities such as canoeing (with many flipped canoes and splashing), low ropes and bouldering, hut building as well as a school based activity involving the construction of houses focusing on character strengths. The students were also challenged on a reflection walk in the great outdoors.

The much anticipated ‘Op-Shop Formal’ was also a fun and entertaining evening which enabled everyone to bond as a group.

Our final day away saw the focus turn to the year ahead, as students put together ‘survival kits’ and then spent some time writing a letter to themselves about their goals, hopes and aspirations. We finished our time away with a moving and reflective liturgy outside with Cave Hill Creek our lovely background. It was a great chance for our Year 12 students to ‘unplug’ and engage with classmates and staff and an opportunity for them to set themselves up for a challenging and rewarding year of 2022.

House Swimming Carnival

On Friday 11 February Mercy Regional College came together to celebrate its annual Swimming Carnival that was held at the Terang Swimming Pool. The students showed great team spirit as they participated in races and cheered on their friends. Congratulations to Markey House for successfully defending the champion title with an impressive result of 566 points.

We congratulate and thank the age group champions who competed fairly and demonstrated outstanding performance. A special 'Thank You' goes to all the staff and helpers who kept the day running smoothly.

Last Monday 14 February, twelve MRC boys travelled to Timboon to compete in the Inter School Senior Cricket. All the boys played well for the day resulting in two wins from two games.

In the game against Cobden Technical School, Mercy batted first and made a total of 73 runs. The boys then bowled beautifully, getting them all out for a mere 17 runs. Some stand out performers for this game included:

Fred Beasley - 17 runs (not out)
Henry Robertson 11 runs & taking 2/5 with the ball
Caleb Kavanagh 2/1
Jordan Beard 2/2

The second game was played against Timboon P-12 College which was the Grand Final for the day. Once again, Mercy batted first and made a solid total of 68 runs off 15 overs. Things were settled after a couple of early wickets by one of the younger players, opening batsman Wilba Cheeseman who made 31 (not out). He, alongside Josh McGlade (14 runs) and Jonty Robertson (12) finished out the overs and posted a handy total. After the 11th over things were not looking so good for MRC - with only 10 runs needed off the last four overs, the game looked to be done. However, with some classy bowling from the two opening bowlers, Henry Robertson and Josh McGlade each taking a wicket in their final over the fate of the game rested in the last over of the game. With only 4 runs needed, Fred Beasley conceded only two runs, which resulted in the victory. The team will now head off to Ballarat to play at the next level. Congratulations to the boys and 'Thank You' to Darren Cheeseman and George Beasley for organising the team.

Library News

Library Lovers’ Day

Last week we joined the world in celebrating Library Lovers’ Day - Valentine’s Day - the perfect day to do so! We are reminded that our libraries are the place to get lost in an idea we are following, find an adventure in a good book, discover more about an issue we are passionate about or seek assistance in finding an answer. These are the reasons (and more) that we celebrate the valuable role that libraries play in our lives. In keeping with the theme “Show the Love’ our students and staff were invited to share their favourite quotes or books to display in the library at both campuses. This has sparked much animated discussion.

New books

Exciting times at the beginning of the year when there are many new titles coming into the library!

Don’t forget to login to Wheelers e-books and audiobooks - lots of excellent titles to choose from.

Happy reading!

Tess Lourey Nominated for Trainee of the Year Award

We would like to congratulate Tess Lourey (Class of 2020) on being nominated for the state-wide Trainee of the Year award presented annually by GAN Australia and Apprenticeship Employment Network.

Tess was our Sport and Events Trainee at MRC in 2021 and did a fantastic job of organising, coordinating, and supervising numerous events throughout the school year. Tess’ ‘can do’ attitude and passion for everything she does made her a worthy nominee for the award. Tess, along with 5 other finalists, was recognised at the awards presentation dinner in Melbourne last Wednesday.

Tess says, "It's nice to be recognised. I'm thankful to WestVic Staffing Solutions, South West TAFE and Mercy Regional College for the invaluable experience and I am ready for the next challenge. It is time to learn new skills that I can give back to the community.”

Tess is heading off to the Federation University in Ballarat to study a Bachelor of Secondary Education in Mathematics and Psychology. In the future Tess is hoping to work in another part of Australia as she is passionate about helping the Indigenous communities in the North.

Tess is planning to keep her strong bond with the region while she is at university. She will continue to be the Corangamite Shire Youth Mayor until April and is set on implementing a few changes in the Council in her last weeks. MRC will welcome Tess back as our dance trainer for the Year 11 Presentation Ball later in the year.

We thank Tess for all the great work she has done as a student and trainee at Mercy and wish her all the best for her future endeavours.
