24th April, 2015
Principal’s Message Dear Families & Friends, On this Anzac Day Eve, a century on from the landings at Gallipoli from which grew the most powerful of all myths of Australian na‐onal iden ty, there has already been much wri en and much said. There is debate about what is truly being remembered and hon‐
oured, disputes about historical details, concerns about undue commercializa on and ques ons asked about what all this really means. It is a good thing and a sign of the robust democracy we are fortunate to live in. Above all, it shows that it means something. As teachers, I believe it is our responsibility to assist our students to understand the events on April 1915 in Turkey and also to ex‐plore the significance of the centenary. There have been a number of ac vi es throughout this week to help them to do this. For me, the following two extracts capture the depth of meaning, the sadness and joy, the enduring effect of Anzac Day in 2015 in our pros‐perous, mul cultural na on.
Speech at the internment of the Unknown Solder, November 11, 1993
This Unknown Australian is not interred here to glorify war over peace; or to assert a soldier's character above a civilian's; or one race or one na on or one religion above another; or men above women; or the war in which he fought and died above any other war; or of one genera on above any that has or will come later.
The Unknown Soldier honours the memory of all those men and women who laid down their lives for Australia.
His tomb is a reminder of what we have lost in war and what we have gained.
We have lost more than 100,000 lives, and with them all their love of this country and all their hope and energy.
We have gained a legend: a story of bravery and sacrifice and, with it, a deeper faith in ourselves and our democracy, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be Australian.
It is not too much to hope, therefore, that this Unknown Australian Soldier might con nue to serve his country ‐ he might enshrine a na on's love of peace and remind us that in the sacrifice of the men and women whose names are recorded here there is faith enough for all of us.
The Hon. P.J. Kea ng MP�Prime Minister of Australia
November 11, 1993
Tribute to the Anzacs killed at Gallipoli wri en in 1934 by A aturk (Mustafa Kemal), hero of the Turkish victory at Gallipoli and father of modern Turkey. 1934
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. A er having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
Good wishes to you all

Winter Uniform—Term 2 (Tights) The uniform policy of PCW Melbourne addresses the total appearance of the student travelling to, from and whilst at school. The uniform is seen as an external statement of the quality educa on offered at the College. In effect, it presents to the public an image, which is in line with the College ethos. The uniform is a means of developing unity and pride with‐in our community. It is the expecta on that all students comply with this policy in all its requirements.
Students will no longer be able to wear socks with their winter uniform. Unfortunately some girls were constantly rolling up their skirt, which does not adhere to our College uniform policy. Due to this it has been decided that students can wear ghts only, from Term 3, as a part of the winter uniform to maintain the consistent look of the uniform.

Year 7 Camp
On Monday 20th April, 101 Year 7 students and 15 staff members took off to Phillip Island for the annual Year 7 Camp. This
year the camp was held at Phillip Island Adventure Resort.
It was a cold morning, approximately 12 degrees, but all the girls were smiling and buzzing with excitement as they board‐ed the buses. It was a long drive to San Remo but with the girls singing One Direc on and Jus n Bieber, we were set for an enjoyable camp.
The buses stopped at San Remo for some lunch. The students and staff sat in the sun and fed the pelicans while relaxing and enjoying some me away, together. We then took off, on the road again, to Phillip Island.
Day One consisted of finding out the girls groups, cabins, beach walks, sport, drama, art ac vi es and a lolly hunt around the grounds of the resort. It was very clear that we had been blessed with some amazing weather. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping. We ended the evening with a scavenger hunt in the girl’s cabins and recrea onal room. Collec ve‐ly, we saw girls move their bodies in ways we did not think were possible as party tricks. There were funny jokes, ugly ted‐dy bears and cutest smile compe ons too. At approximately 9.30pm the lights went out, but this did not stop our girls. By 11pm the resort was quiet.
It was an early wake up on Day Two. The alarms were set for 7am; however, our girls were up at 5.30am. Today was set to be a big day. The ac vi es included ra making, canoeing, high ropes, ini a ve courses, giant swings, team rescues and the twin flying fox. The girls spent 1.5 hours on each ac vity and then rotated. There were breaks for morning tea, lunch and a ernoon tea. Ac vi es concluded at 5pm and the girls were given some down me before dinner at 6pm. We con‐cluded the day with a staff versus student trivia night. It was a very close call for first place with staff winning by only 1 point. Prizes were given to the students. At 9.30pm all the students were fast asleep. The most silent they had been in a long me.

Year 7 Camp (cont.)
Day Three arrived and we were set to tackle two more ac vi es per group. Before these occurred we cleaned our rooms and packed our bags, had some breakfast and then relaxed for 30 minutes. At 1pm, the buses arrived and we took off back to PCW Melbourne. Again, with lots of ‘One Direc on’ singing.
It was a fabulous camp and the girls are to be commended for their amazing energy and spirit throughout the en re three days. Students who were afraid of heights, took on the high ropes and giant swing. Girls who did not want to get wet, jumped in the lake during canoeing and ra making. I, as the Year 7 Coordinator, am so proud of the girls and their vigor during this camp.
Lastly, a big thank you to the fourteen staff who a ended this camp. Without you, the success of this camp would not have happened. You were all truly amazing. Thank you.

2015 Athle cs Carnival The annual PCW Melbourne Athle cs Carnival was held on Friday 17th April at Lakeside Stadium. This was only our 3rd car‐nival out of the 6 years we’ve been at PCW due to bad weather resul ng in carnivals being called off. With the luck on our side it was a perfect sunny day with the rain star ng when awards were being announced. All the Sport Captains arrived early to set up our stands and get into the house spirit. Nagle girls arrived as superheros, along with Kostas’s tribe, awesome Loyolian Aliens and Xavier’s blue ‘from the screen’ characters! The Carnival is designed to be a healthy, fun and social day, encouraging par cipa on. It was a very successful day for the Sport Captains as we saw an increase in par cipa on, par cularly with our 4 new novelty races, which were just as com‐pe ve! At the end of the day the outstanding performances and enormous par cipa on from Nagle House took out the victory! We were both beside ourselves with pride. Finishing a close second was Kostka, Loyola in third and Xavier fourth. It was a tough decision for Ms Keaney and Ms Rosa judging the chants based on originality, crea vity and volume as each student displayed pride for their house. Congratula ons to Loyola.

‘A wonderful opportunity for all involved to experience the global connectedness of life beyond the gates of PCW Mel‐bourne’ Last year saw the beginning of a Cultural Study Tour Exchange between the PCW Melbourne Community and a number of overseas high schools. Its success has led the College to introduce three Cultural Study Tours annually throughout the school year. In 2015 we welcome THREE schools, all from JAPAN, all seeking home stay placements with PCW Melbourne families. These groups will be travelling and staying with us in Term 3, dates are below: Group 1: Kawamura (this group visited us in 2014 and are returning to study with us again) Monday 20 July – Monday 3 August 2015 Group 2: Nakamura High School Friday 7 August – Thursday 20 August Group 3: Toyota Kita High School Sunday August 23 – Saturday 31 August All host families will receive weekly payments of $250 per host student. The purpose of the program is to give overseas students an opportunity to experience life in Australia by becoming part of an Australian family, interac ng with PCW Melbourne students, staff and the wider community. It also gives our students an opportunity to learn about other cultures and religions and can open opportuni es of overseas learning and travel. Hospitality and kindness are a universal language and the experience of hos ng overseas students is a wonderful oppor‐tunity for families. The College had over 30 families host students in 2014. Without the generosity and support of our fam‐ilies, this program would not be possible. Throughout the program students will a end school, have EAL (English as an addi onal language) classes and the oppor‐tunity to par cipate in the PCW Melbourne way of life. Excursions are a large part of their me in Melbourne, visi ng places such as the Melbourne Zoo, Eureka Sky Deck, Flinders St, St Kilda Beach and Chapel St.

BACHELOR 0F SCIENCE/BACHELOR OR MUSIC – At Monash University you can now combine your passion for music with a
solid founda on in the sciences with this new double degree. There is a wonderful synergy between the passion for crea ng music and a love of scien fic knowledge. Choosing between the two can be difficult, so why not consider making the most of your talents and study both music and science in a double degree. Physics, maths and music are related to the art and science of acous cs, however their links are much more extensive. The latest developments in physics, psychology, human biology, materi‐als science, informa on science and sta s cal analysis all give us new answers to ancient ques ons about music – what it is, why we make it, how we make it, why we listen to it and how it is changing.
Research into the possibili es of music is ongoing, crea ng new jobs dedicated to the many effects of music, music percep on and the performance and technical underpinnings of instruments. Alterna vely, you could combine your knowledge of physics, mathema cs and compu ng to become a sound engineer.
