Principal's Message
Dear Emmanuel College Families,
This Weeks' Calendar
I am certain I have made this comment previously, Emmanuel College is a busy place! As our Vision states, it is “A dynamic learning community”, and a glance at the Student Messages and the calendar this week confirm the extraordinary array of experience and opportunities Emmanuel students are involved in. These include:

- Junior girls & Year 10 girls’ football
- Senior boys cricket
- “Emmanuel Reads” (a time on Thursday morning dedicated to every Emmanuel student and employee reading uninterrupted for 20 minutes)
- NAPLAN
- Art Club
- UCAT exam preparation (for those pursuing careers in medicine)
- Careers Expo
- New book arrivals in the Library
- Cybersafety talks
- Rehearsals for the musical ‘Frozen’
Open Evening
Topping all these is the Emmanuel College Open Evening on Wednesday 22 March between 4-8pm. During this time the doors of the College are open to all who wish to visit and discover what learning is like at Emmanuel. Visitors are welcome to take a guided tour or explore the school by taking their own self-guided tour; either way, learning in action will be visible as will our wonderful facilities, and our staff and students will be happy to share with you their experience of being members of the Emmanuel community.
The enrolment application form is available now on the College website. Enquiries for enrolments can be made through Jo-Anne Nelson on 5560 0888.
Inspiring Alumni
We are very excited to be planning the induction of another group of Inspiring Alumni on August 4 this year. The event will be held in the Wyton Theatre in The STAGE and will see the following group of former students recognised for a diverse range of achievements. I congratulate Professor Anna Ryan (Class of 1991) being inducted in the field of Health, Fr Kevin Lenehan (Class of 1982) being inducted in the field of Service, Eleanor Britton nee Rea (Class of 1984) for Health, Brigid Delaney (Class of 1991) for The Arts, Eric Howard (Class of 1964) being inducted in the field of Service, Andrea Vallance nee Beks (Class of 1979) also being inducted in the field of Service. We will share further information about the achievements of each of these alum over the coming months.
Project Compassion
As our experience of the season of Lent continues, we are reminded of the goals of Project Compassion: to end poverty, to promote justice and to uphold dignity. Pope Francis says “God’s love calls us to move beyond fear. We ask God for the courage to put on Faith, Hope and Love as we go out into the world and become the word in body as well as spirit.” Caritas Australia prepared this video highlighting the ways in which our support of Project Compassion makes a difference extending our Faith, Hope and Love to our neighbours. Click here to view the video.
Act of Care
As I was preparing this report, I received a phone call from a member of the public who is also a College alumni. She praised the care and actions of two Emmanuel students on the weekend. The caller explained how she was returning home from an evening event in Warrnambool, when she felt she was possibly being followed, but was unsure and felt concerned. As she thought about her situation, a car pulled up near her at the edge of the road, and two young women asked her if she was okay? The simple gesture of someone stopping and checking on her reassured her and she completed her journey safely. She did however, ask the women their names which they shared, and they also explained they were completing year 12 at Emmanuel College. I acknowledge the significant actions of both young people in supporting a member of the public.
Feast Day of St. Joseph
Yesterday was the Feast Day of St. Joseph. St. Joseph’s Parish, now known as Star of the Sea Parish, was closely associated with the governance of Emmanuel College for the best part of 30 years and remains an ongoing supporter of the College. Our Emmanuel prayer used to conclude all our prayers, and seen below concluding the Lenten prayer, references St. Joseph and the two founders of the religious orders instrumental in the establishment of this college community. Enjoy your week.
Creator God, help us live a Lent focused on freedom, generosity, and encounter.
Give us hearts hungry to serve you and those who need what we have to give.”
St. Joseph: Pray for us. May the spirit of Catherine McAuley and
Edmund Rice guide us in all that we do. Amen.

A Message from Mrs Claire Wrigley
Internation Women's Day March 8
International Women's Day is a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and to call for gender equality. It's an opportunity to recognize the contributions that women have made throughout history and to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles that many women still face today.
In our school we celebrated with “Girls Got Talent” which showcased some wonderfully brave and talented young women. The event began with an inspiring presentation from Emma Stenhouse, a proud Ngarrindjeri woman and a contemporary artist. With acts from poetry to singing, the girls who performed were amazing and with the support from a packed Wyton Theatre, the enthusiastic crowd celebrated the girls performances. Many thanks to our wellbeing team member, Megan Collins, for planning and organising this wonderful event.
Make a Report if somethings goes Wrong Online
There are challenges that young people may face as they navigate their way through the online world. It is important to know there is support available to both parents and young people should things go wrong online.
If you or someone you know experiences online abuse, you can do something about it. Depending on the social media service or online platform, you can report, block or mute the abuse.
If it meets the thresholds of eSafety commissioner they can also remove harmful online content.

Vaping Amongst Teenagers
As a school we continue to educate and support young people around vaping and the impact on their health and wellbeing.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics just under one in twelve (7.6%) people aged 15-17 years had used an e-cigarette or vaping device at least once.
Figures from the 2019 National Drug Strategy Household Survey conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), 3.3% of Australians aged 14-19 years reported using e-cigarettes in the past 12 months.
Other findings from the survey regarding e-cigarette use among Australian teenagers include:
- E-cigarette use was more common among older teenagers, with 5.6% of 18-19 year olds reporting past 12-month use, compared to 1.2% of 14-15 year olds.
- Among teenagers who reported using e-cigarettes in the past 12 months, the most commonly reported reasons for use were to try something new (38.9%) and to look cool or fit in with friends (28.1%).
- E-cigarette use was more common among current smokers, with 45.9% of teenage current smokers reporting past 12-month use, compared to 0.6% of never smokers.
There are concerns about the potential for e-cigarette use to lead to nicotine addiction and smoking initiation among teenagers. The sale of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes is illegal in Australia, and the use of e-cigarettes by minors is also prohibited in many states and territories.
The government introduced legislation to further restrict the sale, advertising, and promotion of e-cigarette products. For example, from 1 October 2021, it is illegal to sell e-cigarette products to anyone under the age of 18, and advertising of e-cigarettes is banned in all forms of media. These measures are intended to help prevent e-cigarette use among young people and to ensure that these products are used safely and responsibly by those who choose to use them.
Here is some helpful information on what parents can do to assist their young people which starts by having a conversation about vaping.
Red Earth Immersion Monster Easter Raffle
In June, 23 students from senior school will travel to Central Australia on the Senior School Red Earth Immersion. Student will visit Uluru and Kings Cannon and also spend time living in a remote indigenous community. We are very privileged to be able to visit these communities as this experience is only available on an immersion trip such as this. During this time students will be assisting with a community project and experiencing indigenous culture. As part of the immersion, the group are raising funds to go towards the community project. The Red Earth students have demonstrated great initiative in looking for ways to fundraise for the community project. Students will be selling tickets for the Monster Easter egg raffle with 7 prizes up for grabs, all easter eggs have been donated by the Red Earth immersion students. Tickets will be sold at school each day for $2 a ticket or 3 tickets for $5.

What's Happening in the Mathematics Faculty?
Maths Help
When: Wednesday Afternoon (3.45pm – 4.45pm)
Where: McAuley Campus Library
Students have the opportunity to get assistance with their Mathematics on Wednesday afternoon’s in the McAuley library. Look out for the Math’s teachers, bring your questions and get some help. It’s a great opportunity to work on those areas that you may not fully understand or consolidate the work that has been covered in your class.
Maths Pathway Information Session
The Maths Pathways Information session on Tuesday 7th March provided a great opportunity for Year 7 and 8 families to get an insight into the Maths Pathways program and offered parents the chance to ask any questions that they may have had with the program. Year 9 Student Georgia Ierodiaconou gave a students’ perspective of the program, discussing what occurred within her classes, including things such as energisers, mini lessons, rich tasks and modules. She also allowed us to display her work books to illustrate that work was not simply done on a computer. It also provided an opportunity to highlight the various pathways on offer for students through year 8 and beyond.
The evening was filmed for families that were unable to attend - click here to watch.
International Pi Day
Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π.
To mark this special day the Mathematics department decided to hold a competition to see which student (or teacher) could recall pi to the highest number of decimal places.
With some prizes and commendation points up for grabs, as well as an opportunity to tuck into a simple party pie, a number of students tried their hand at reciting pi to as many decimal places as they could.
Year 11 student, Matilda Sewell managed to recite the most decimal places, stating pi to fifty decimal places:
3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510
Closely followed behind Matilda was year 12 student Mina Gagniere at 40 decimal places, year 11 student Jeffrey Collins (33 decimal places) and Year 7 student Sophie Ierodiaconou (17 decimal places).
Well done to all of those that took part or came along to see what all the fuss was about.

Student Voice - Macbeth Performance Reflections
Sam Marris
Watching the performance really helped me with understanding the text because after every important scene they pointed out key details and gave an explanation on what happened and why it is important. They also summerised the play. I have a much better understanding of some key scenes like the post murder of King Duncan scene. I also got a better understanding of characters and their relationships between each other. For instance, the relationship between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth was really highlighted in the play and was much easier to understand then the book. They made it really clear where the fallout was between the two and how close they actually where at the start of the play. Seeing live actors using their emotions and playing the role really helped me understand and get to know the characters a lot better.
Emily Benson
The performance helped in many ways the understanding of Macbeth, one of the main ways that the actors did this is by speaking through and giving an explanation into what the characters were feeling at the time, as well as what factors influenced their actions. As well as explaining the background and historical context which helped to put the play into perspective. The tone in which the actors spoke in, was reflective of the characters and brought the text to life. One of the actors who stood out to me was Lady Macbeth because she took on the role very well and acted out the emotions she was feeling in accordance to the themes and storyline.
The main theme of Macbeth is ambition as it fuels the other themes such as betrayal and want for power. The characters played this very well through their speeches, and how they moved around the stage. When Macbeth was speaking to himself they showed how he had ambition and his determination to be King and Lady Macbeth’s ambition when she urged Macbeth to be brave in what he was about to do. I think that as a whole the performance was really good, it showed the plot of the play but broke it down into pieces which were manageable and easy to understand, I think that it was really good at showing the themes and characters and how they worked together to create the story and helped to give a visual understanding of the play.
Eva Ryan
The main theme of Macbeth is greed. It is reflected in the performance as it showed the lengths Macbeth would go to to have power. He always wanted more and more until he ended up losing everything. His greed to be king cost him his relationships, his sleep and the guilt caused him to be miserable. The main characters in the play are Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Macbeth was greedy for power while Lady Macbeth encouraged him to do whatever it took to get power. Both of these characters plan the murder of King Duncan and Macbeth goes through with the plan. The actors portrayed this on stage by using facial expressions, tone and body language to show what was going through the characters heads.
Student Voice - Worlds Greatest Shave
At Emmanuel College on Thursday, many students came together in support and to watch on as Year 11 Student Joe Dowling shaved his head to raise critical funds for the Leukaemia Foundation through the World's Greatest Shave.
Joe said he wanted to make whatever impact he could for the Leukaemia Foundation.
"Every day, 53 Aussies are diagnosed with blood cancer, and 16 will lose their life. With no screening programs available and no means of prevention through lifestyle changes, blood cancer is Australia's hidden cancer crisis," Joe said.
"We can't delay taking action together. That's why I've decided to participate in the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave."
When Joe set out to raise money, his goal was $750, which he has now tripled!
Currently, Joe has raised $2,800. In an auction style, whichever teacher donated the most money had the honour of shaving Joe's hair. Students and staff cheered on for Joe until the buzz cut was complete. Well done Joe in your persistence in raising funds and setting a wonderful example for our college community.
You can still donate to Jo's cause via the World's Greatest Shave website.

"Empowering Parents: A Guide to Supporting Your Child's Learning" Series - Homework
A few weeks back our Director of Learning, Simone Rolfe, wrote about Artificial Intelligence and how that is sweeping through the educational landscape at a further rate of knots than ever before, particularly in the form of ChatGPT.
This piece in our series of supporting parents is on “Homework" and will address the differing beliefs about it, as the results of research regarding the effectiveness of homework is far from unanimous. On one hand, homework is necessary to reinforce classroom learning, reviewing topics taught and helps students develop time-management skills. Homework can also provide an opportunity for students to practice problem-solving and critical thinking skills. On the other hand, some argue that homework can be stressful for students where they may feel overwhelmed with the amount of homework assigned or may not have access to resources at home that are necessary to complete assignments.
Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve pictured below, is a graphical representation of how information is lost over time when there is no attempt to retain it. It was developed by the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century and is based on his studies of memory and forgetting. According to Ebbinghaus, forgetting occurs rapidly in the first few hours or days after learning something new, but then levels off over time.The forgetting curve shows that most of what we learn is forgotten relatively quickly, with the majority of forgetting occurring within the first 24 hours after learning.
Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve is typically represented as a downward sloping curve that shows the amount of information retained over time. The curve starts high at the beginning, representing the amount of information initially learned, and then drops off steeply before leveling out over time.The forgetting curve has important implications for learning and memory, suggesting that it is important to review and reinforce new information soon after learning it in order to help retain it in long-term memory.
Ultimately, the effectiveness of homework may depend on a variety of factors, including the amount and type of homework assigned, the age and ability level of the students, and the support available to students outside of school. It's important for educators and parents to consider these factors when determining the role of homework in a student's education.
At Emmanuel, in light of the above factors, we believe that homework is beneficial as we see the rewards of strong study skills amongst many of our students. We encourage parents to help their children spend some time completing homework, ensuring that more knowledge and skills learnt in class are transferred into their long term memory (as shown in Ebbinghaus’s Forgetting Curve above). In addition to completing set work, students are expected to spend time revising work taught that day and doing further reading. Assignment work should be planned and spaced over the time allowed. As students move into higher year levels, there will be less formal homework, but more of an expectation that increasing time will be spent in private study, reading and research. As a guide, students should be spending up to the following time each evening (where applicable) on private study and homework: Of course, if students want to do more and they cope with that and don’t burn themselves out, then whatever works for them.
- Year 7: 45 minutes (minimal homework until after camp in first term)
- Year 8: 1 hour
- Year 9: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Year 10: 1 hour 30 minutes
- VCE: 2 hours (minimum)
Some advice to parents and students with regards to Homework:
- Break tasks into smaller chunks: Instead of looking at your homework as one large task, break it down into smaller, manageable parts. This can help make the task feel less daunting and can also help you prioritize what needs to be done first.
- Set a schedule: Create a schedule for completing your homework and stick to it. This can help you stay on track and avoid last-minute cramming. Be sure to include breaks and rewards for completing tasks to keep yourself motivated.
- Eliminate distractions: Remove any distractions that might prevent you from focusing on your work. This might mean turning off your phone or logging out of social media accounts.
- Possibly start with the hardest task: Tackle this first when you have the most energy and focus. This can help you avoid putting off the most difficult parts of your homework.
Positive feedback and praise can motivate students to continue working hard and doing their best. Rather than seeing homework as a chore of the worst kind, by encouraging students to approach homework with a positive attitude is one of the keys to harmony. I’m sure that many parents have differing views or even experiences of addressing homework with their children. Finding the balance of being too assertive and not assertive enough about homework can be a delicate task. Too much assertiveness may lead to conflict, power struggles and resentment, but lack of interest may lead to students falling behind and not necessarily consolidating the topics learnt at school.
By keeping communication open and being supportive with what’s going on at school and also being willing to make adjustments if needed from any concerns and feedback that you may be receiving, allows you to navigate through their teenage years of secondary schooling.
