Principal's Message
Dear Emmanuel College Families,
We begin the week immersed in remote learning once more! It was pleasing to see how staff and students took the news in their stride, prepared and transitioned to this now familiar form of teaching and learning. I believe student’s learning will not be disadvantaged this week as long as they are online and working with their teachers and following directions. Parents and guardians can expect to receive an update on Thursday sent to their email via Operoo outlining either return to school details or instructions for the continuation of remote learning. As a way of preparing for a school return, we request every student is ready with their own mask in case they are mandatory.
Whole School Assembly
Last Thursday we began the day with an uplifting whole school assembly in which student achievements were acknowledged and the College Captains addressed the students communicating a message of respect. Their message was most appropriate as we also marked National Sorry Day and the start of National Reconciliation Week. National Sorry Day acknowledges and raises awareness of the history and continued effect of the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from their families, communities and culture. National Reconciliation Week celebrates and builds on the respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians. Emmanuel College acknowledges that the land on which we learn, create and grow is the traditional land of the Peek Whurrong of the Gunditjmara – Maar people, who educated their children in their language and spirituality and in the traditions of their culture for many thousands of years. We also acknowledge and respect the cultural diversity of students, families and staff represented in the Emmanuel College community in the past, present and future. Emmanuel College supports the principles of a reconciled Australia for all its people, in the interests of our children – tomorrow’s leaders.
Official Reopening of our Library
On Monday 24 May the College officially reopened its extended and revitalized McAuley Campus Library. We thank Fr. John Fitzgerald and Fr. Lawrie O’Toole who, having recently completed their terms as College Governors, blessed the space and declared it “reopened”. At the opening I shared the following message with guests and visitors who travelled from far and wide to attend.
This occasion today comes at an interesting juncture, with last week having been the celebration of National Library Week, and today being the start of Catholic Education Week. I can’t think of a more appropriate time to be celebrating this milestone achievement which itself takes place in the midst of a milestone year with 2021 being the 30th anniversary of Emmanuel College. There are guests here today who were part of this learning community in 1991 at the start of Emmanuel; I trust they see the growth that’s occurred over the intervening years and feel a little of the same pride that we who make up this community today feel on a regular basis. Thank you for coming from near and far to be a part of this celebration. It’s a celebration not only of the refurbishment and extension of the College’s library facilities. It is also a celebration that recognises the journey this College is undertaking to stamp its mark on being the leading provider of secondary education in South West Victoria.
The extension and revitalization of this library is integral to the fulfilment of that goal of being the leading school in South West Victoria, and of completing the College Masterplan. This project brings us one step closer in what’s been a ten-year journey to re-position the year levels between the two campuses. From the start of 2022 the overarching masterplan goal to bring Years ten, 11 and 12 together into a true senior school on McAuley campus will be achieved. At the same time, Year seven and eight students will belong to their own junior school community at the Goold Centre, and Year nine will make the Rice Campus in Canterbury Road their new home coinciding with the beginning of the 9@RICE program.
This $1.2 million self-funded project is more than just joining the dots of a massive jigsaw. This project has doubled the size of the existing library which was designed and built when the College enrolment was somewhere between 600-700 students. With around 1250 students today the previous library lacked the capacity required for the additional students who will be based at this campus next year. The old library also lacked the flexibility to meet the diverse learning needs of a 21st century school. Increasingly, the Emmanuel libraries accommodate student learning beyond 3.30pm, and most days you will find young people studying individually and collaboratively, or working with school staff on a range of projects and learnings until 5.30pm.
Even before this refurbishment the Emmanuel College library was a hive of activity and the revitalization of this space has created new opportunities of which we saw ample evidence during the recent National Library week. The Emmanuel College celebration of National Library week saw the following happening in the Library:
- A LEGO masters challenge.
- The decoration of handmade flowers for National Sorry Day which can be seen now in the foyer of Warrnambool’s Lighthouse Theatre.
- House Chess Competition.
- A UNO championship.
- The National Simultaneous Storytime, that is, a reading of the same book at the same time by people in multiple locations around Australia, including this library.
- A reading of Phillip Bunting’s book “Give me some space”, live from the International Space Station by NASA astronaut Shannon Walker.
There is a school of thought that suggests libraries are superfluous in the 21st century as we all have a library of sorts at our fingertips in our mobile phone. But Emmanuel has made a conscious decision that a library is an integral part of the future of this school, and the reason for this is because libraries do more than simply provide resources. The Emmanuel library is a safe learning environment; it’s a place where people of all ages share ideas, learn together, identify and solve problems, create, listen, experiment and grow. It’s a little bit like the “Village Green”, where communities gather and in the sharing of ideas and in being together individuals experience belonging and community is formed. In a Catholic school we could say it is part of the journey of discovering what it means to be fully human; to have life and to have it abundantly.
In this library we can do that as formally or informally as you like; you can learn at a table and chair, in a booth with like-minded individuals, from the comfort of a couch or curled up in front of the fire place with a good book. The design and the fit out of this library reinforces that we all learn differently, that all styles of learning are valid and learning together enriches not only ourselves, but the society in which we live and which we continue to shape and influence.
I wish to acknowledge the many people who enabled this project to be completed starting with the Emmanuel College families. As indicated before, this project was self-funded by the College. The building levy contributed by each family each year has been put to good use in this project and I thank Emmanuel families for their commitment and support of the College. I thank College Business Manager Stephen Kerr for the careful management of those resources and for the leading role he played from project start to finish. Thank you to Property Manager Jason Beveridge for enabling College operations, grounds work and maintenance to continue around a very busy building site.
Thank you to our Library Manager Margaret Sinnott. Not so long ago, Marg was recognised by her peers from the Australian Library Association as a leading school librarian which was evident in her commitment that ensured students had continuous access to reading and other resources from the portable library while the refurbishment was underway. I also acknowledge the library team who support Marg’s leadership in this environment; and the College staff who adjusted to working without this space for close to 12 months.
Thank you to Cirillo Architects for their design expertise and project administration skills that enabled us to complete this project on budget, and Fairbrother Constructions for their work delivering this project to the College community.
The Blessing of the library concluded with the following prayer that marks the 200th anniversary of the beginning of Catholic education in Australia.
Almighty and all-loving God, with gratitude for the endeavours of Catholic education in the past, with confidence in our Catholic pre-schools, schools and universities today, and with faith in their continuing contribution in the future, we celebrate 200 years of Catholic education in this Great South Land. As our inspiring Spirit, you lead us into the future.
In the century ahead grant those teaching and learning in our schools, those planning and leading, and the families and community that entrust their young people to us, a love of learning and a willingness to be the face of Christ in the world tomorrow.
Pour out your abundant blessings upon all involved in the ministry of Catholic education.
St. Joseph: Pray for us. May the spirit of Catherine McAuley and
Edmund Rice guide us in all that we do. Amen.
Best wishes for the next few days of lockdown. I conclude with part of the blessing service form the recent Library opening.

Principal
A Message from Mrs Claire Wrigley
Supporting your children over the next week
As we find ourselves back in remote learning again, we need to look for ways to support each other. Periods of lockdown can result in feelings of isolation and increased feelings of stress and uncertainty. Therefore, it is important to maintain healthy habits and support your children through this time.
Maintaining regular routine and structure is important. Encourage your child to maintain regular sleep patterns, continue the morning routine of showering, and eating a healthy breakfast each day as this is crucial to a good start to the school day. There is a temptation for students to stay in pyjamas all day but this can impact on both mental and general productivity, so getting out of bed and showering creates a more productive approach to learning. When students are productive and complete work it gives them a sense of achievement which boosts their mood and improves mental health.
Some suggestions for establishing routines and supporting our young people include;
- Check in with your children at the beginning and end of each day. Ask them; What are you looking forward to today? What went well today? What are you looking forward to tomorrow? Positive conversations promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
- Encourage healthy eating habits – plenty of wholesome food and water is good for the body and brain.
- Encourage regular breaks away from technology and to be active when they can outside of the school day or in short breaks during the day.
- Promote healthy sleeping patterns – teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep per night.
- Promote healthy screen time and use of phone and social media. Phones are not allowed in the physical school environment and they don’t promote engagement in remote learning.
Through communication with your children and support we will all get through this together. Lockdown can be stressful for all of us, so support one another, take time for family time and pay attention to any changes in behaviour in your children that might seem disproportionate to their circumstances and the duration of lockdown.
It is important that if you have any concerns in regards to mental health and wellbeing of your young person you contact your GP who can assist with a plan. Please also contact your child’s homeroom teacher if there are any other concerns and if made aware, this will assist us in providing the best support for your child. Homeroom will be held online on Monday and Thursday, allowing students the opportunity to touch base with their homeroom teacher during this time.
We will continue to support our students during remote learning and look forward to having them return to the physical school environment at the conclusion of the lockdown.
Helpful Resources
Student voice at Emmanuel College
A group of students meet twice a term to discuss any suggestions from the student body. All students have the opportunity to put forward suggestions through a virtual suggestions box. These suggestions are then discussed with the student voice group made up of leaders from Year 7-12.
One such suggestion that was discussed earlier in term was the extension of the Year 9 computer lock down time at home. Students discussed the proposal and suggested that the computer access for Year 9 in the morning be altered to open up at 6.30am rather than extend the evening time, as students believed that past 9.30pm is too late to be doing homework at this age. Encouraging strong study habits and promoting productive study time is conducive to the suggested time limits. Students acknowledged that accessing devices too late impacts on sleep habits and routine. Therefore, after listening to student voice, our College Principal, Mr Morgan has authorised a 30-minute increase in time for Year 9’s ONLY to access their computer by opening up access from 6.30am.
We look forward to more students suggestions and discussions at student voice/future planning meetings in the future.
Vinnies Winter Appeal Casual Dress Day
On Friday June 4 students are invited to wear casual dress in support of the Vinnies winter appeal. Please see below our guidelines below for casual dress on these days.
Emmanuel College - Casual Dress Day Guidelines
On special occasions students are permitted to wear a selection of their own casual clothes to school instead of their normal uniform. Generally, these are held as fundraisers for selected charities, therefore a gold coin donation for each student is often requested.
Whilst it is a free dress day, the school still expects students to observe principles concerning the dignity of each person and the respect for others. Students need to be mindful of the styles of clothing and appearance that are deemed to be appropriate for a school setting. Students should consider subjects they may have on days of casual dress such as PE, materials design etc. to ensure clothing is appropriate to participate in these classes.
As per school policy hair needs to be tied back for occupational health and safety reasons and students must wear covered in shoes. Students should be mindful that if they are dressed inappropriately, or their appearance is deemed not suitable, then they will be required to change into more appropriate clothing or return home.

Official Opening of the Library
Monday May 24 saw the official opening of the Emmanuel College Library with many guests, including past Library staff members, community members and current staff and students in attendance.
The Opening was held in the Library in the new Tiered Seating Area and was presided over by Fr John Fitzgerald and Fr Lawrence O’Toole. A short film was shown as part of the opening which showed the Library in a film made by College alumni James Kol and also featured staff and students speaking about the Library.
Morning tea was then enjoyed in the Reading Room for the guests.
We are currently working on a timeline showing the development of the Library from its existence as the previous Caretaker’s Cottage in the 1970s (overlooking the bottom oval), to the area which the boarding students used to use (which we have redeveloped from the Music Room, back to being a part of the Library) and to the newest edition which was finished in 2007. The timeline will show these developments, old photos of students using the library and some recollections of past students. We look forward to presenting the completed timeline later in the year. If you have any recollections or photos of the Library we would love to hear from you.

Faith in the Future
Religious Education
Times are a-changing...but the message stays the same...
Catholic Education Week 2021 - A celebration of 200 years of Catholic Education in Australia. The theme for the week is ‘Faith in the Future’ which inspires continued dialogue of our hope in faith and God’s endless love for us.
May our school motto of ‘faith, hope and love’ continue to be learned, loved, and invitational to all at Emmanuel College not only in our Religious Education classes, but through the faith experiences of lives lived in our Catholic school community.
Thank you so much to all our caring and supportive Religious Education teachers who value ‘faith in the future’ on a daily basis in our curriculum and relationships.
Sue Bourke - Religious Education Coordinator
Year 9 visit to South West TAFE
On Friday 21 May Year 9 students spent a sunny afternoon at South West TAFE, immersing themselves in taster sessions for possible future education options. Students chose three activities to participate in, learning from TAFE educators about what is involved in learning at TAFE, and had the opportunity to complete hands-on tasks.
Activities included construction, electrics, automotive, agriculture, engineering, hair and makeup, early childhood, sport and recreation, art, hospitality and virtual reality. Students enjoyed the opportunity to be in a different environment and be actively involved in learning. Many of them contemplated their future pathways as a result of these activities, and we will refer back to this experience when students are asked to finalise their education choices for Year 10 and beyond.
Thanks go to David Gladman, Head of Pathways, for coordinating the event, and all staff who attended and participated in activities with the students. We value our connection with South West TAFE and thank them for opening their doors to our Year 9 students.

Director of Year 9
SSV Volleyball Titles
The School Sport Victoria state volleyball titles were held on Thursday 20th May at the Victorian State Volleyball Centre in Dandenong. The eight students from Years 9 and 10 travelled to Melbourne the night before the event to ensure they were well rested. The team was lucky enough to have ‘duty’ during their first round bye at 9.30am which meant that they could get a feel for the competition.
The team’s first game, against regular contenders from Eltham Secondary College, began with a few nervous points (9-0) until the team began to relax. The first set disappeared a little quickly with Eltham scoring 20-12. In the second game, our team found some rhythm, but still went down 20-16.
The second game against, Drouin Secondary College, was a better example of what the team was capable of achieving. Emmanuel won the game in straight sets, 20-12 & 20-14, when they began to string together some lm accurate passes which lead to some effective attacking plays.
The last game of the round robin was against another strong volleyball school, McKinnon Secondary College. Our team was under pressure from the beginning due to the high quality of spilling from both the front and back court. Our team went down in straight sets, 20-12 and 20-10.
The team participated really well and displayed the sportspersonship that Emmanuel College values. The less skilled players were well supported by their peers with more experience and the stronger players were also challenged by the high level of competition.
Well done to Joe Ahearn, Sam Barker, Harrison Hughes, James McKinnon, Pat Roache, Seb Wake, Manny Wijetunge and Lucas Williams; you should be proud of your efforts.
Thanks to Miss Lucas for coordinating the trip and to trainee Louis O’Callaghan for accompanying us on the journey.

Letters and Numbers
Letters and Numbers is a game show on SBS. It requires contestants to use letters to make words or numbers to form a target number. This concept can be used as an activity within a Maths classes. How would you go…..
Using the numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 25, 50 and your basic operations, can you get to the target number of 282?
(Note: You don’t have to use all the numbers, but you can only use a number once)
Previous Newsletter Solution
Using the concept of Algebra…..
* H + H + H = 30
3H = 30
H = 10
*H + 2S + 2S = 18
10 + 4S = 18
4S = 8
S = 2
*2S – 2B = 2
4 – 2B = 2
2 = 2B
B = 1
Using BODMAS
*B + H x S = ?
1 + 10 x 2 = 21

Photography Challenge Time
Calling all beach patrollers, nurdle hunters and nature lovers. Comb our wild beaches and look for interesting marine debris to photograph and collect. Then ask yourself the question, is this flotsam (~accidental) or jetsam (~on purpose) pollution?
Our wild shipwreck coast beaches and wildlife constantly grapple with washed up debris. This reflects the amount of plastic floating around in the ocean and it seems to be getting worse. Photographs help tell the story of the problem we are faced with. Facing a problem leads to action and solutions. Running over the month of June, rug up and go hunting for the chance to win some great rewards!
Photos to be shared on Good Will Nurdle Hunting & Beach Patrol 3280 Facebook Pages.
Please upload your photos to Good Will Nurdle Hunting or Beach Patrol 3280
