Te Kāreti o Ngākau Tapu ~ Hearts and Minds in Harmony

July 2017

Parents, Caregivers, Whānau, On Feast Day we celebrated a beautiful Mass honouring the Sacred Heart of Jesus; the source of all love and compassion. At the offertory our students presented the virtues which Euphrasie Barbier shared and promoted as the way to a good life. Each virtue will be the focus for a week from the beginning of Term 3. Ideas and suggestions on how best to model and live out the virtue will be shared across school life. I encourage conversa-tion at home about each virtue and how best to make them a part of your family relationships. Mrs Sue Ross, our Assistant Principal and teacher of Science finishes at Sacred Heart this week after 5 1/2 years. In her role as leader of Pastoral Care, Sue has given with great generosity, passion and professional expertise to the welfare and well being of our young women. On behalf of the school community I thank Sue for her compassionate and wise overview of Pastoral Care and for her excellence as a classroom teacher. We wish her much fulfilment in her new role in the tertiary sector at EIT. After a robust appointment process I can announce that Mrs Marysia Airey, currently Head of Mathematics, will assume the role of Assistant Principal and leader of Pastoral Care from the beginning of Term 3—congratulations Marysia. We also welcome Mrs Lesley Parris as the teacher of French and Mrs Vicki Small as teacher of Physical Education and Health. Our first day of Term 3 doubles as both a Teacher Only professional development day and our Student Work Day. All the documentation has been issued to your daughter for Work Day. If your daughter does not have a digital device she may use the Work Day funds as the term rental on a Chromebook which she may use at both school and home. Term 3 has a strong focus on the academic pursuits of students. Over Weeks 5-6 there will be a full assessment programme for senior students which gives valuable feedback for both students and staff. Please support your daughter’s academic goals by providing the best conditions for her to achieve—there has been much recent publicity about student absence from school for family holidays especially towards the end of a term—a school cannot condone any ‘self-interest’ absence. Please support the purpose of teaching and learning by planning holidays in the designated holiday periods. We have never had a School Prayer! Recently I asked Ms Natalie McPherson (RE teacher) to draft one; the final version is quite beautiful and I congratulate Natalie and share it with you as it captures the hearts and minds of our young women. Regards and God’s blessings Steve Bryan

Academic News & E-Learning It has been a busy few weeks as most senior students have had a number of internal assessments. It is therefore timely to remind students and parents that the grades from these can be seen on the KAMAR portal and the NZQA log in. Recording and tracking success can be a motivating factor as students begin to see the number of credits rise and of course, progress towards endorsements. For senior students the end of Term 2 sees 22 of 34 school weeks of learning time completed. This is significant and seniors need to begin to plan for their preparation for school examinations which begin at the end of Week 5 in Term 3. School holidays are an important time for re-energising and recovering from winter illnesses, for some, they are an additional opportunity for paid employment, but for those who wish to extend their learning, some holiday time needs to be spent planning ahead and preparing for these examinations. As you will know the big push in learning this term has been the use of electronic devices as a tool for learning. We are well aware that technology itself does not necessarily improve student achievement and so our thrust in professional learning has been to blend the use of technology with successful, well-researched strategies in the classroom. In our quest to be contemporary and progressive, we are also mindful of the potential of technology (or lack of) to increase divisions in educational capital and opportunity. For this reason we are working hard to source devices for families who find this challenging. Helen Fouhy Deputy Principal

Dear Lord, Euphrasie said she would always honour you

She said she would always walk in your footsteps She said she would educate the women of the world

Tomorrow… We are the women of the world

Lord, we ask…

That you continue to lead us with your grace and love With the Holy Spirit and Euphrasie’s zeal

We will walk with dignity We will walk with pride

Our Sacred Heart

Special Character

The Year 12 Religious Education classes have been studying the themes in the Gospel of Luke. Luke's Gospel portrays Jesus as merciful and compassionate. When we place this Gospel message into the present, we are able to see our actions here at Sacred Heart as an extension of the actions of Jesus.

At Sacred Heart we actively reach out to others to show compassion. One New Zealand role model we have for this is Suzanne Aubert, the founder of the Sisters of Compassion.

June 19 marked a special day for the Sisters of Compassion. It was the day that they celebrated the birthday of Suzanne Aubert.

The Sisters had sent a request to all Catholic Schools for decorations for their chapel on this day. Some of our Year 12 girls were able to create decorations for the occasion. The Sisters of Compassion were so pleased with our contribution that they posted it on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/sistersofcompassion/

At Sacred Heart we are privileged to be able to study our faith, such as the Gospel of Luke. By developing a deeper understanding of the Gospels we confidently put our faith into action.

Kelly Briggs Director of Religious Studies

Sunday July 4 marked the Church's birthday at Pentecost. It is also the day that the RNDM Sisters took their vows many years ago. The Special Character Committee at Sacred Heart College wanted to recognise this occasion by holding a liturgy at the school's urupa to honour the Sisters.

Not many schools can claim to have a place of rest for their departed but Sacred Heart College in Napier can. Students are reminded each day of the early Sisters who established this school and paved the way for the young Catholic women of 2017.

The burial ground (urupa) was originally situated behind the school but over time the school expanded and it has now become its spiritual centre. On July 6 local RNDM Sisters were invited once again to this sacred space to pay their respects to the Sisters of the past. Students from the Catholic Character committee enjoyed listening to the Sisters as they shared their personal faith journeys during the liturgy.

Pastoral Matters Uniform – thank-you to all families who continue to support our school by ensuring that their daughter wears her uniform correctly and with pride. As the holiday approaches it would be great if all girls could check the length of their skirt. Some are far shorter than the regulation length – the correct length is stated in the student diary. A reminder that black pantyhose or long, black knee-length socks are part of our Winter uniform and are now available for purchase from the Uniform Shop at $5 and $11 respectively. Short white socks and short black socks should not be worn. We ask for your support in maintaining our high standards of which we are very proud. Attendance – our school-wide goal of achieving at least 90% attendance for all students is still one of our key focus areas. We encourage all students to be at school every day that we are open. This will help them to maximise their learning opportunities and to achieve positive academic results. At this point in the year we have 72% of students meeting our 90% goal and a good number still on 100% attendance. 94% of students have achieved an attendance rate exceeding 80%. At 80%, this still means a student is absent one day per week! We understand when students are genuinely unwell and need to be at home but for some girls, they may be a little quick to opt out. Please discuss with your daughter what her current attendance rate is and encourage her to meet the 90% target.

Guidance Counsellor – we are lucky to have the services of such an experienced and capable counsellor as Amy Walewski. Students can make appointments with her to discuss issues of concern and be assured of confidentiality. Amy can meet with both individuals and small groups of students and she is also available to meet with girls and their parents if this is appropriate. At times parenting can be challenging (there are no rule books!) and you may wish to seek some help or guidance. Please feel free to contact Amy by email if this is the case.

The Sisterhood – for the last 5 ½ years I have endeavoured to equip our girls with strategies and skills to cope with adversity, to develop mutually respectful relationships, to improve their assertiveness and communication skills and to build resilience. One strategy I have used on multiple occasions is “the Triple Filter” which comprises of three questions: Is it kind? Is it true? Is it useful? It is suggested that if the girls cannot say “yes” to all three questions, it is probably best not to say it at all! Secondly, promoting the concept of being an Upstander – standing up for those most vulnerable and those who are being marginalised is the duty of all caring Sisters here at school. I am confident that as I leave SHC, this mantra will continue to be championed.

Tama tū tama ora, tama noho tama mate - the person who takes a stand makes a difference, the person who does not, will not. Thank-you for allowing me to assist your daughters to grow and develop into the kind, caring and confident young women that SHC students are known to be. I wish all girls and their whānau much happiness both now and in the future.

Sue Ross Assistant Principal

Arts It has been a busy past few weeks for Music at

SHC. The Big Sing saw 60 of our girls head

down to Waiapu Cathderal for the day and

evening to compete. Excellent comments were

received from the adjudicator for the choirs’

performance. Angelina Sefo did a superb job

leading our Gospel Choir as did Miss Carson

who directed the Marian Choir. All students

should be very proud of their work.

Week 6 brought a week of preparation for the

NCEA Music Performance Assessment

evening, where 24 of our senior students

completed their first performance opportunity

for NCEA credits. Three groups of students

competed at the Municipal Theatre in Week 7

in the NZ Chamber Music competition. They all

performance very well and received positive

and constructive feedback from the

adjudicators.

We were privileged to host three visiting lecturers from the University of Otago’s Music department to run two workshops for our Music students. The Year 10 Music class

enjoyed the opportunity to work with David Hamilton to learn about the software and process involved in recording music.

Senior voice students, along with members from our Marian Choir, had a two hour Voice Masterclass with Judy Bellingham and Arlie McCormack. They were exposed to various

singing techniques and all contributed to part of a song which was then developed further.

Sport

Sport at Sacred Heart has continued to flourish. 25 students travelled to New Plymouth for our annual Mission Cup and Te Toa Tournaments during Queen’s Birthday Weekend. The event was hosted by Sacred Heart Girls’ College, New Plymouth. The weekend was filled with competitive games between our sister schools throughout the two days of competition.

On Saturday night we celebrated Mass at Our Lady Help of Christians which was followed by a delicious meal at the hostel. I would like to thank all the students, coaches, managers and parents who travelled to New Plymouth to sup-port the girls. Canoe Polo has just started their competition. We have two teams combined with SJC. It is great to see the enthusiasm that all the girls have shown. Thank you to all the parents who help with the trainings and for getting the

students to games on Wednesday nights. Thank you to Natalie Corbett from Hawkes Bay Netball who has assisted our girls to develop their umpiring skills. The six sessions have helped them improve their confidence, enhance their game knowledge and prepare them for umpiring on Saturdays. It is with a sad heart that we farewell our Head of Department, Rachel Dickinson. Mrs Dickinson and her family are jetting off to Korea for a new work opportunity. Rachel has been at Sacred Heart for 6 years and has made a significant contribution to the PE department. We wish Rachel and her family a happy time in Korea. A reminder to all students and parents to check the Sporty website for the draws. There will be a short break for all Winter sports over the school holidays. Students, don’t forget to keep your fitness up over this break and come back to your teams ready and rearing to go! All the very best for the Winter season and please have a safe and restful holiday.

Special Events

HEARTS Programme—Science

The girls extracted pigments from vegetables and flowers and assessed their suitability as acid base indicators. They tested these extracts by adding acids and bases and observing their changes in colour.

HEARTS Programme—Mathematics

Our young HEARTS students were busy in the Mathematics Department solving a problem which required them to measure, make calculations and reach decisions. They were trying to identify if $40 would enable guests at a birthday party to each pot a plant to take home. This activity highlighted the real world value of understanding mathematical procedures. The girls had a great time engaging in the problem and enjoyed potting their own plants.

Gateway Programme The Travel and Tourism course that we offer through the Gateway programme is proving to be a popular choice for a number of our senior students. There is a practical work experience component to this course which gives students the opportunity to get a taste of the broad range of careers available in the tourism sector. Egypt Naera and Nicole Aluni have been working at the Art Deco Trust in Napier each Wednesday since Term 1. Their days involve assisting in the Art Deco shop, meeting and greeting national and international visitors and learning about the unique art deco heritage of our city. In this photo Nicole and Egypt are wearing red to acknowledge the large number of Lions supporters recently visiting the Bay. Heather Nelson Future Pathways Teacher

Bibliophiles come in all shapes and sizes and ages. What absolutely fascinates me is that while all bibliophiles love books we can differ so widely in what kind of book we love. A story that I really enjoyed reading may have the opposite affect on someone else. Here at the Marian library I try to cater for all the different reading tastes, whether it be Fantasy or Sci Fi, Romance or Historical. Some people love reading non-fiction, biographies for example. Currently the Year 10 English students are doing a ‘Bingo’ reading challenge. This requires some of them to step out of their comfort zone and read a genre they may not usually select. I hope everyone makes the most of the holidays and discovers the joy of reading a great book whatever the genre may be.

The Last Word Experience Life through a Cultural Exchange - Year 11 Speech in English   “Every woman that finally figured out her worth, has picked up her suitcases of pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which landed in the valley of change.” ― Shannon L. Alder is right, isn t̀ she? What is important in our life? Our family, our friends, our hometown we live in, our passions? Giving up those important things is not easy. I mean we worked hard for what we have now, so why should we leave everything behind? You might ask now what is she on about? What is she talking about? Well, I am talking about myself. Not only about myself, but I am talking about every student in the world who had the courage to step out of their com-fort zone and make an adventure happen. An adventure for what you have to overcome big challenges, but gain experiences for the entire life. An exchange is exciting, challenging, gaining. It is mine and your adventure you can experience once in a lifetime.

Vamos a la playa- does anyone speak Spanish? Or do you know that song? No? Well, it means let's go to the beach and has quite a big meaning to me. It is a song I listened to a lot when I was younger, like really young five or six years I must have been, and once again on the flight from Vienna, that’s where I come from if anyone asks, to New Zealand and symbolises finally coming to the beach. You might think that is ridiculous right? Well, for me personally there was nothing more exciting than living on the beach. Yeah, it might be the same as you knowing you will live where it snows a lot in the winter or where you can spot polar lights. What I want to say is that it was something impossible for me to think of, living by the sea like a fairy tale. As I grew older it wasn t̀ like a fairy tale anymore but still something special. And going to live for a year 10 minutes away from the beach, well paradise for me. Yes, everything can happen on an exchange, whatever you thought is impossible you can have it on an exchange.

As exciting as it is going on an exchange, living in a foreign country and doing and having stuff you normally just dreamed of, it is not always easy. I remember the last time I saw my parents. It was at the airport I know best. In Vienna, my parents, my sister and my best friend arm in arm crying as I walked through the gate from where on I was alone. The last facial expression I can remember my little sister was just her extremely sad face, trying to hide her feelings, but still, tears running down her cheek. Well, what did I do? I waved one more time, a sad smile, turned around and disappeared. That was eight, nine months ago. In the meantime we skyped but I mean it̀ s not the same of course. I never asked them, but I would like to know, the evening after I left how was it for them? Did they just carry on like they did before? Did my mum cry like she did be-fore I left? I was too busy in my first days to think much about them. Auckland, then new host family. But eve-ry single time we are skyping and something magnificent happens, like Christmas. I am getting quiet some-times as they celebrating like every- just without meee... Although I am really happy where I am, what I am brought up with will always have a special meaning to me and leaving all that behind is challenging...

Well as you hear me talking about stuff like that, you might think now wow, that sounds horrible I will never leave. That is just- too long and too far away for me, but remember those who don t̀ have the courage to face challenges and go beyond themselves, they will be stuck not being able to grow up. I am encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and realise there is the world outside the common country. In our age, we deal a lot with growing up and we form with every day to the person we will be. An exchange changes a life magnificently. I recognise already I have changed, my point of view of the world completely changed and it probably influences my life more than I can think of – to the better of course. An exchange is challenging yes, but it is worth it as you get fluent in a foreign language, you get independent, it gives you a break from home, you find friends on the other side of the world, you learn to understand other cultures and as you come home you appreciate all your friends and family and you can either start new or make your common habits to the better. All you have to be is open, open to a different culture, open to a new life, open to an adventure.

What do you feel now inside yourself? Happy not being on an exchange? Fear of ever doing something like that? Annoyed because this speech is pretty long? Confusion what you should think? Or maybe keen on doing something new too? If you still ask if you really learn so much from it then take me as a living example. I am holding a speech in a foreign language - I am pretty proud of myself...
