International Women’s Day Concert

Last Thursday, 8 March, was International Women’s Day, and we at Mount Alvernia College celebrated

in many ways, including a lunchtime concert. The music department contributed performances from the

Year 11 Music class and Year 9 student Laila Powell, and organised for past student Johanna Field to

return for a performance of her original works. Johanna has just completed a Bachelor of Music and is

commencing her Masters degree. She has also

been working as a professional musician, as a

soloist and as part of a duet with past Padua

student Jayden Lynch. Johanna has just released

her debut EP which was featured on Triple J’s

Unearthed program.

It was a lovely concert featuring some strong and

inspirational performances from some inspirational

ladies from our college community. A great way

to celebrate International Women’s Day!

Aladdin The Musical Excursion

On Wednesday 28 February, Moun Alvernia

College provided an opportunity for a small

group of students and staff to purchase tickets

to see Aladdin the Musical. Students from Years

7-12 attended with a number of staff from

different departments. All present enjoyed a

lovely evening out at the theatre together, and

appreciated the excitement and spectacle of this

international stage production. It was a lovely

excuse to enjoy each other’s company and make

new friends in an off-campus context. We look

forward to the next experience!

EmpowerHer Conference

Last Friday some girls from Years 10 to 12 attended the

EmpowerHer conference held by the ChangeMakeHer

organisation at the River City Labs. After arriving we were

provided with some goodie bags and put into groups, and set

sail for a day of new experiences. Firstly, we listened to keynote

speaker Kathy Wong, founder and CEO of Moeloco (Dream

Crazy), as she discussed the power of ‘Why?’, and the

importance of making a start. We then participated in two Q&A

panels made up of female CEOs, entrepreneurs, and tech experts, who discussed how they challenged

the boundaries presented to women in the workplace. We explored innovation and entrepreneurship

with keynote speaker Bernadette Hyland, who inspired us to challenge ourselves through our education

by choosing to study subjects in the field of STEAM.

We then participated in the One Woman Project Leadership and Gender workshop, where we were

challenged to consider the qualities of an effective leader and the many different types of leadership, as

well as a session with Sally Dwyer, Director of Be Social, Be Smart, as she demonstrated how to

construct an effective LinkedIn profile that will catch the eye of possible employers. Finally, we work

with the girls of the ChangeMakeHer organisation as we created plans to encourage young people to be

more involved in politics, to challenge the education system to allow for different types of learners, and

to support people to achieve and maintain better mental and physical health. Overall, the EmpowerHer

experience encouraged us to consider STEAM pathways for the future, inspired us to increase the

number of women in leadership roles such as CEOs and politicians, and challenged us to dream crazy.

Rebecca Ives, Year 10

The STEAM EmpowHER conference was an eye-

opening experience into the world of female

professionals in male-dominated occupations. This

conference informed us of different types of leadership,

alongside the most effective way to be a leader. Some

workshops encouraged us to set up a LinkedIn profile

early to ensure our future employers are well informed

about our professional goals. All in all, the STEAM

conference was a great experience I would recommend

to girls interested in leadership or business skills.

Last Friday, I, along with several other girls, had the privilege of attending the 2018 #EmpowHer

Conference at River City Labs in Fortitude Valley. Throughout the course of the day, we had the

opportunity to immerse ourselves in several activities such as listening to a variety of speakers and Q&A

panels of women from fields in STEAM, learning how to maximise our employability as a student

through use of LinkedIn, and discover pathways on offer from several different universities. In attending

this conference, we were able to explore how women working in Science, Technology, Engineering,

Arts, and Maths are able to excel in predominantly stereotypical male-dominated areas. Through this

conference, we were encouraged to pursue jobs in the field of STEAM, and gained knowledge on how

we as women can effectively change the world.

21 March is Harmony Day

Next week we will be celebrating Harmony Day throughout

our college and in Home Rooms. Our diversity makes

Australia a great place to live. Harmony Day is a celebration

of our cultural diversity – a day of cultural respect for every-

one who calls Australia home.

Held every year on 21 March, the message of Harmony Day

is Everyone belongs. The day aims to engage people to

participate in their community, respect cultural and religious

diversity, and foster a sense of belonging for everyone.

Why orange?

Orange is the colour chosen to represent Harmony Day. Traditionally, orange signifies social communi-

cation and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the freedom of ideas and encouragement of mu-

tual respect. Australians can choose to wear something orange on 21 March to show their support for

cultural diversity and an inclusive Australia.

Our cultural diversity

Australia is a vibrant and multicultural country — from the oldest continuous culture of our first

Australians to the cultures of our newest arrivals from around the world.

Our cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and is at the heart of who we are. It makes

Australia a great place to live.

Multicultural Australia is an integral part of our national identity. All people who migrate to Australia

bring with them some of their own cultural and religious traditions, as well as taking on many new

traditions. Collectively, these traditions have enriched our nation.

Facts and figures

There are some fascinating statistics about Australia’s diversity that can be good conversation starters:

Nearly half (49%) of Australians were born overseas or have at least one parent who was.

we identify with over 300 ancestries.

since 1945, more than 7.5 million people have migrated to Australia.

85% of Australians agree multiculturalism has been good for Australia.

Apart from English, the most common languages spoken in Australia are Mandarin, Arabic,

Cantonese, Vietnamese, Italian, Greek, Tagalog/Filipino, Hindi, Spanish, and Punjabi.

More than 70 Indigenous languages are spoken in Australia.

Sydney Biennale of Art – Senior Trip

As a part of our ongoing commitment to providing opportunities for academic excellence at Mount

Alvernia College, the Visual Arts staff are pleased to offer this interstate excursion to the 21st Sydney

Biennale for students in Year 11 and 12 studying either Visual Art or Visual Art in Practice.

Whilst we uphold the value of classroom learning, we

also acknowledge the benefit to students when they can

see the real-world applications of their learning outside

of the classroom. It is crucial to the development of our

students as life-long, passionate learners that they are

able to move beyond their context and continue to

develop their curiosity and wonder.

To this end, travelling to Sydney and viewing contemporary works of art in unusual and highly

constructed environments will greatly assist our girls in challenging their preconceived ideas of “what is

art?, therefore also developing their critical thinking and visual literacy skills. Additionally, by having to

navigate a new environment away from the safety and security of home, students will begin to develop

greater independence, resilience, and self-reliance - skills that will be invaluable to them in their

transition into life after school. Subsequently, one of the desired outcomes of this trip would be that

students feel more comfortable in travelling, be it interstate or internationally, in order to see, seek,

and engage with information and events that interest them.

Furthermore, as students in the senior school, this trip provides a timely opportunity for the girls to

contemplate a dynamic career in the visual arts, and to observe and engage with professional arts

practitioners who may provide inspiration for their future pathways.

Arts Captains

Last week at Assembly we presented our Arts Captains with their badges. This week we would like to introduce

them all to our college community. We congratulate the following girls on their election to these roles:

Choir Captain: Emily Lihou

Drama Captain: Robyn Darley

FCIP Captain: Erin Twedell

FCIP Vice Captains: Lauren Brook, Georgia Spanevello

Visual Arts: Sienna van Venetien, Shimea Toomey

Drama Captain

My name is Robyn Darley and I am your Drama Captain for 2018. I have been doing

drama since a young age, and have performed in some productions outside of school

such as Oliver. I love the theatre because it is a space where you can all do your own

thing because everyone is doing it, and no idea is really too big. This year so far we have

a Theatresports team and a Drama Club. Drama Club is on Wednesday lunch (big

break) in E110, and all are welcome. We have some pretty cool stuff for next term.

I am always open to new ideas and things in the drama area, so don't be afraid to suggest

things.

Visual Art Captains

My name is Sienna van Venetien and I am the College Visual Art Captain for 2018.

Since Year 8, Visual Art has always been my first elective choice and favourite class, so

I generally spend a lot of time in the art rooms at lunch doing projects and expanding

my creative knowledge. Since I am currently in my fifth year of Visual Art study here

at Mount Alvernia, I have participated in many activities and events related to the

visual arts department, including: the College Art Show, lunchtime activities, drawing

tutorial sessions run by past art captains, Art X, and masterclasses run by artists who

have been invited to Mt A. My goal as Art Captain this year is to promote more

involvement within the arts throughout all year levels, and express the importance of

creativity as a form of individual expression. In order to break down any negative self-

talk around visual art skills, I believe it is my responsibility to share my passion by

allowing students to experiment with materials they may never had heard of, and use

methods that allow freedom. As we near the end of Term 1, my goal is to advertise the opportunities that the

visual art department supplies and what they entail, and encourage girls to get involved. For future terms, I

envision organising lunchtime activities, showcasing the art created by our own students to acknowledge and

appreciate student efforts, and promoting upcoming art events.

My name is Shimea Toomey and I am your Visual Art Vice Captain for this year.

I am looking forward, as your Art Vice Captain, to increase the art spirit in the

school community this year with some fun activities Sienna and I are planning.

I look forward to working with the art teachers and Sienna this year to create a

fun enjoyable year of art for the girls.

FCIP Captains

The Franciscan Colleges Instrumental Program is the

music program for the three colleges, St Anthony’s,

Mount Alvernia, and Padua, and is a favourite aspect of

college life for many students, including me. My name is

Erin Tweddell and I am the FCIP Captain for 2018.

My goals for FCIP in 2018 include organising more events

to develop and encourage friendships and unity between

the bands, and also bringing awareness and recognition

for the many achievements the bands accomplish.

I know this year will be amazing for FCIP and I’m very

excited for what is to come.

I’m Georgia Spanevello and I am one of the FCIP Vice Captains for 2018.

I have been involved in the FCIP for ten years playing the violin and I thoroughly

enjoy every moment. I am looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm with the

rest of the FCIP. One of my major goals this year is to encourage all students to

actively participate in the FCIP and engage with the students and teachers in their

ensembles. The best sound is produced when everyone is working together.

I truly believe that this year is going to be heaps of fun and one for everyone to

remember. I’m looking forward to working with the other FCIP Captains from

Mount Alvernia and Padua, and I can’t wait for performances and competitions to

start!

My name’s Lauren Brook and I am one of the FCIP Vice Captains for 2018. This

is my third year being involved in the FCIP, where I play clarinet in the Senior

Concert Band and sing in the Rock Band. I enjoy every moment I share with the

FCIP, and look forward to sharing my love and passion for music with everyone.

My goal for FCIP in 2018 is to continue the legacy of past captains where everyone

participates in all opportunities handed to them. I look forward to making 2018

the best year for FCIP so far, with the help of my fellow captains, Erin and Georgia.

Choir Captain

My name is Emily Lihou and I am the 2018 Choir Captain. My goals for this year

include increased participation in choral areas. I would also love for the choirs to

perform on Assembly more often and for choral achievements to be advertised on

Assembly and in the Notices. This year the choir is working towards

performances at Catholic Colleges Music Festival, Choral Showcase, and our very

first Carols by Candlelight. It is set to be an exciting year for all our choirs.

Cosplay Council

Term 1 Competition Winner Announced

Congratulations to Ella Blazak of Year 10, whose

Asgardian helmet design and construction was very well

received.

This term, members of the Cosplay Council competed to

build helmets using a basic design that was provided to

them. Students were given great latitude in design

alteration, construction material, and overall colour and

decoration. The four students pictured here made a concerted effort over the past five weeks to

create helmets that reflected their own personal style and tastes, with designs reflecting a variety of

anime and movies. Well done to all participants!

Next term we will be engaging with making arm bracers, with the challenge to again create your own

original design. Victoria Uhr

WAT 2018

Wearable Art Townsville (WAT) is now in its second year,

and this year we are pleased to have a student design team

participating in this event. Emily, Rebecca, and Zoe in Year 10

have been successful in having their design selected as one of 50

out of all 80 entries received. The girls will now spend the next

few months making their wearable artwork which will be

featured in the Environment category of the runway show in

October.

Artists’ Statement

The Earth has been around for so long that there is a kind of tension

between the way it was originally, and the way it looks and functions

now; as well as a tension between the way it looks to whoever is

caring for it. Our design depicts society’s carelessness towards the

environment. We will use domestic and other recognisable objects

commonly found as waste materials. Our goal with this piece was to

encourage the audience to rethink their attitudes and beliefs towards

nature which have formed into daily routines of pollution and

carelessness. If nothing else, this piece is a statement. The earth is

suffocating. The earth is dying. Things need to change; and, if not

now, when?

2018 sport has had a tough start with the weather hampering the girls’ best efforts to

get out and be active. Unfortunately, we are reliant on many fields and courts to be

dry enough to play on and be safe for our girls, and the closure of these leaves us

with little option to play.

Thankfully this has not dampened the spirit of the players as training attendance is high, and game

attendance last night was also excellent. With two rounds now played and only three remaining, we

pray for better weather to carry on and finish off Trimester 1 sport on a high.

Swimming Carnivals

We have now had our swimming carnivals, both Interhouse and the CaSSSA Interschool. I am happy to

report that, while we finished in seventh place in CaSSSA large schools, we were able to not only enter

swimmers in every race, but our results across the carnival are on the increase. Our girls were very

lucky to have the guidance of the United Swimming Club coach, Kirk Taylor, and our Mount Alvernia

Swimfit coach, Georgia Gladwin, for the day. In the end we missed sixth place by only 6.5 points and,

more interestingly, the gap to fourth and fifth place is also reducing as the point spread is evening out.

We have a good cohort of swimmers who are now consistently training year-round with the United

program, and I look forward to the success this will create over the coming years.

With the weather creating lots of cancellations, it is a good time to check in on our method of

cancellations of sports and trainings. In the unfortunate circumstance training needs to be cancelled or

changes made, there are two places we post this information:

Mount Alvernia College Facebook page; and

The newly released Mount Alvernia College App, which is available on both Apple and

Android operating platforms.

Cross Country Carnival

Our second carnival for the year will take place on Thursday 29 March. Interhouse cross country is a

great opportunity for our girls to test themselves against the clock over a revamped two-lap course.

I strongly believe that carnivals are meant to be competitive but not lose the element of participation

and enjoyment. This year will see a zone—’tent city’—where the girls can get behind their fellow house

members and cheer them on with horns, cowbells, and encouraging cheering. I do hope the students

see this as an opportunity to support each other and raise the spirit of each house in the interhouse

championships.

Make active attractive is a key message we are looking at this year. So, as we progress through this term

and the pressure ramps up for your daughter, talk to her, encourage her, and help keep her active and

in sport.

This year interschool sport has been off to a bit of a slow start with a few rounds

being cancelled due to this wet weather; however, a number of games of volleyball

have been organised, and indoor cricket games have continued. I know all girls are

training hard for their teams so that Mt A does its best. Whilst training continues for

cross country, with the interhouse carnival taking place at the end of this term, swimming is coming to

an end. The interhouse swimming carnival was a great success. Despite all the rain, everyone

competed hard and Rieti was crowned as champions of the day. This carnival determined the team

for the interschool CaSSSA swimming carnival, where everyone performed their best with a lot of

great times and PBs.

I am excited that so many girls are fuelling their fire and competing with pride and confidence – and,

for the first time in many years, Mt A was represented in every swim race. I congratulate the girls in

all sports for taking part and competing with pride, determination, confidence, and a sense of fun.

In the words of Michael Jordan: “Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.”

The 2018 cross-country season is well

underway. The girls are improving with

every session and are getting in shape,

ready for the carnival in Week 10.

Numbers at training indicate a good

interest in both fitness and competitive

runners out there giving it a go.

It was great to have so many girls at the first ever Mount Alvernia

Multisport camp. The camp covered not only running, but

swimming and some pilates also. A highlight was the Main Beach

parkrun where we tested ourselves over a five-kilometre course.

All the girls pushed hard over the weekend and, although everyone

was extremely tired, they still put in 100%! Some of the runners

were pushed out of their comfort zone over this weekend and had a go at swimming! They all did a fantastic job

and should be very proud of their efforts. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings, and to see every-

one participating at the cross-country carnival on 29 March!

Remember to bring your bells and horns to cheer on your House members on the two-lap course this year.

CROSS COUNTRY

This year we have four teams for Futsal, including three junior Futsal teams and a senior team. The Junior As and

the Senior team competed at the South-East Queensland regional carnival on 27 February, with both teams being

undefeated on the day and continuing on to the finals tomorrow. Our Junior B team competed in the same

carnival on Thursday 1 March. All the girls played to the best ability, but were unfortunately knocked out of the

tournament. Our Junior C team has been working hard in training to compete in the North Brisbane Carnival on

28 March. Our Junior A team will be attending the carnival as well, with both teams looking to come away with

some wins.

Overall, it has been a great start to the futsal year, and we wish

all the best to all the teams.

INDOOR CRICKET

The 2018 season of CaSSSA indoor cricket is

well underway. This year we have two senior

teams and two junior teams representing the

College, and so far they are all doing us very

proud. It is great to see so many girls showing

there commitment to their team by showing up

to training and representing the College proudly

at the games.

So far this season both the Senior A and Junior A teams are

undefeated—congratulations, girls. Both the B teams have been

working very hard, achieving their first wins last week. This is great to

see as, for many of the girls in the junior teams, it is their very first

time ever playing the sport, and it is great to see them all out in the

nets giving it their best shot. Each and every girl is out there having fun

and supporting each other, and it is great to see the improvements that

are being made in just the first couple of weeks.

I can’t wait to see these girls improve even more throughout the sea-

son as their confidence grows as well as their skills. Keep up the great

work, girls.

Ashley Havers

Indoor Cricket Captain

So netball season hasn’t officially started yet. However, that doesn’t mean Mt A isn’t ready and raring

to go. Trials for the Open team have actually been held and, just recently, the team selected.

We’d like to congratulate those girls selected for they get the opportunity to not only compete in the

normal Wednesday afternoon CASSSA competition, the QC Cup carnival, and Vicky Wilson games,

but also travel to Townsville for a week to compete at QISSN. This week-long carnival will be an

extraordinary bonding experience for these girls, and allow them to compete at a high level against

independent schools across Queensland. That said, we’re still looking forward to the start of a great

season for the Senior and Intermediate teams next trimester.

Keep a look out in Notices and on Moodle for the sign-up for next term. Don’t forget to play hard,

girls.

Though Mount Alvernia’s swimming season officially ended with our CaSSSA

competition, there are those among us who take swimming further, and excel

into the world outside school. Swimming is a year-round sport and, if you

loved it during the competition season, you’ll love our heated pool sessions

all through the off-season. We cater to all skill levels, all abilities and are

always keen to see new people get stronger, fitter, and faster. If you want to

make a commitment and join us at in the Padua pool in the United Swim

Club, we look forward to seeing you there!

See Moodle’s Sport page or the college app for details on the running times

SWIMMING

TENNIS

Tennis is a unique sport where Mt A girls have the opportunity to not only have fun and bond with other girls,

but can develop racquet skills, fitness, and teamwork.

Since the start of Term 1 of 2018, all Mt A tennis teams have been training hard on

the tennis court and competing in fixture matches every Saturday morning. The girls

compete against other schools and have achieved much success. The Junior team of

Sophia, Jemma, Isabella, Jessica, and Jose have battled the opposition each week and

have obtained a number of wins. Their determination and energetic smiles have led

to much success throughout the season. Currently, the Junior team is positioned

sixth of ten teams on the ladder. The Intermediate team also echoes the energy and

positive charisma of the Junior team. Throughout the season, Chloe, Caitlin,

Kirsten, and Bridget have demonstrated extraordinary teamwork, commitment, and

dedication to the sport. With the support of their manager, Ashley, and despite

difficult opposition, they have pushed forward each week with smiles on their faces.

The Open A team has also achieved great success and are positioned within the top

three of the ladder. Under the supportive wing of their manager, Camilla Horn, the

team has been determined to bounce higher than the tennis balls in their mission for success. Holly, Hana,

Nicola, Sophie, and I have played with confidence and enthusiasm, and this has resulted in a great season of

tennis.

However, the season is bouncing to a close,

with finals approaching on 24 March. Thank

you to all parents, players, and managers for

making tennis in 2018 a successful season.

Best of luck to all girls competing in the last

remaining matches of the season – I’m sure

you’ll ace it.

VOLLEYBALL

Our volleyball season is off to a mixed start. Our teams have

played more games against each other than against other

teams. This is due to the weather causing three of the five

games to be cancelled. In the true spirit of Mt A, we have

made good use of this time by playing each other, training

hard and, of course, having fun.

On Tuesday, the Open volleyball team played a game against

the staff. Sadly for the Open team, we lost. The support and

enthusiasm from the crowd was astounding. The hope for a

rematch is now lingering—will the staff rest on their laurels

and not let the students redeem themselves? Time will tell!!!
