I am sure you will join with me in welcoming Kyanah to the College this year. Inaugural Mass I would like to invite you (Parents and Families) to join staff and students at our Inaugural Mass on Wednesday, 25th February in our College hall at 9.30am. College Swimming Carnival This week the College community gathered for our annual swimming carnival. Aside from being so well-attended, it was wonderful to see our students supporting their House in such a spirited fashion. I would like to personally thank the staff and management at Port Macquarie Pool for providing such a well-prepared and welcoming facility on the day. Once again, our Sports Coordinator, Mr Michael Cannon had the carnival run like clockwork and to all College staff who collectively supported the day in their various roles. In particular, I would like to give a special thank you to our Year 11 and 12 Hospitality students who catered for the day and their supervising teaching and support staff.

Congratulations goes to Oxley House for their most convincing win on the day. Senior students from Oxley did a fantastic job in leading junior students.

I would like to congratulate the Age Champions and Runners Up on the Day. For a full list of names and photos, please refer to the sports section at the end of this newsletter.

Youth Ministry Faith is not just an extra-curricular activity, it’s a lifestyle.

Faith enriches our lives with love and allows us to grow into a complete and developed person. Faith is so fantastic in that we have a unique opportunity to make our faith our own, we are free to express ourselves how we want to.

Whether we are new to it or a veteran, a fantastic way to enrich our lives with faith is by attending a youth mass. This mass is a beautiful way to understand the relevance of God’s word in our own lives. I encourage anyone to come and check out what it’s all about, weather you attend the youth mass, the Encounter youth group or both, you’re guaranteed to meet some fantastic and welcoming people. I hope to see you there.

St Agnes Youth Mass: St Agnes Church, Hay St Port Macquarie. Every Sunday afternoon at five o’clock

Encounter Youth Group: St Agnes Youth Hub, Horton St Port Macquarie. After youth mass on Sundays approximately 6:00pm – 8:00pm

NEWS FROM THE LEADER OF ENGLISH LITERACY MATTERS

Writing is a fundamental skill which enriches, empowers and ultimately provides opportunity for students as they continue their academic journey here at St Joseph’s Regional College. For this reason, writing is the core literacy area which we will focus on throughout 2015.

After what has been a successful implementation of the PEEL strategy for paragraph writing over the past two years, this year we intend to focus on further improving extended writing for all students, across all years. In short, we are working towards excellence in writing.

What do excellent writers do? They:

Establish: Effectively plan responses

Expand: Develop their ideas further, adding depth and detail

Elevate: Use rich and sophisticated vocabulary with control

Edit: Check for errors concerning spelling, punctuation and

sentencing in an effort to refine their work

You will notice that your student has been issued with a laminated copy of language terms, which is to be used at home should extended responses be required for homework, assignments and assessments. Please encourage your child to place these terms in a prominent place (above their study desk, for example) and to use these terms when needed or directed. These terms will also be issued at school through Key Learning Areas and will be accessible electronically in the near future. The aim is to elevate the language use of students through this resource. Senior students are encouraged to have their laminated sheets in their folders at school, at all times.

Anne Marchment Leader of Literacy
