Pentecost Sunday

I wonder how often we notice the flame within the Mary Aikenhead Ministries (MAM) Crest. From the MAM website, the flame in the crest is described as follows:

“The flame is not contained, it is reaching out, embracing, guiding and directing all who are touched by the diverse works of Mary Aikenhead Ministries. The flame gives light and direction, warmth and comfort. It overcomes the darkness. The flame is the burning commitment to service the poor”. 

As a MAM school, this flame also inspires and challenges our work.

This past Sunday was the Solemnity of Pentecost, marking the 50th and final day of the Easter season. Pentecost marks the moment when the Holy Spirit descended, symbolised as tongues of fire, transforming fearful disciples into courageous witnesses. The flame in the Mary Aikenhead Ministries crest represents the same Spirit of Pentecost—alive, dynamic, and disruptive—calling the Ministries to ongoing renewal rather than passive maintenance of the tradition we have inherited from the Sisters of Charity.

For Mary Aikenhead and the Sisters of Charity, love was/is never abstract. The flame symbolises love that acts, particularly where need is greatest, recognising human vulnerability and need in all its forms.

Last week, the four Mary Aikenhead Education Principals spent two days in retreat, connecting with the purpose that drives and inspires our work. A special component of our retreat was a visit to the St Vincent’s Hospitals precinct – the tangible presence of the Sisters responding to the vulnerable in the heart of Melbourne. Since 2009, the hospitals are also Mary Aikenhead Ministries works. 

Purely by coincidence I ran into a College Alumna (1987), Jenny Gozdzik, General Manager – Director of Clinical Services Fitzroy for St Vincent’s Private Hospital. Jenny is currently the Acting CEO. Jenny’s career began as a nurse with St Vincent’s Public Hospital. It was a pleasure to hear about Jenny’s connection to St Columba’s.

When we reflect on our impact as a College, it is through the pathways chosen by our Alumnae that we see the true measure of our success—lives shaped by the enduring spirit of the Sisters of Charity, carrying forward their tradition of service to those most in need.

Lord God,

You call us to be people of justice, compassion, and hope.
During this Reconciliation Week, we pause to listen deeply to the stories, wisdom, and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Help us to walk gently on this land,
with gratitude for the world’s oldest continuing cultures,
and with honesty about the hurts and injustices of the past and present.

Teach us to seek reconciliation not only in words,
but in the way we live, learn, and relate to one another each day.

May we be people who build bridges,
who honour the dignity of every person,
and who have the courage to stand alongside those whose voices are too often unheard.

In the spirit of Mary Aikenhead,
may we become contemplatives in action,
committed to healing, understanding, and the common good.

May your Spirit guide our school community
to grow in truth, justice, love, and respect,
so that together we may help create a future marked by peace and hope for all.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

TRANSITION SURVEY FOR YEAR 7 STUDENTS & PARENTS/CARERS

As part of our ongoing commitment to continuously improving the school, we believe it is critical to seek each parent and student’s opinion on a range of issues relating to St. Columba’s College. This feedback is very important to us as we continue to build a successful school and strengthen our reputation as an ‘educator of choice’.

Over the last 5 years, we have engaged the professional services of MYP Corporation (MYPCorp) to undertake a strictly private and confidential School Results Survey on our behalf. Parents or carers and students will have the opportunity to complete this online survey between 8 – 19 June.

Thank you, in advance, to all the Year 7 students and their parents or carers who take the time to participate in the survey.

LEARNING TO LEAD – Student Leadership Program for Years 9 and 10

This term, a number of students have commenced the Learning to Lead Program, with students recently completing the first two of five workshops designed to develop leadership skills and personal growth.

So far, students have explored what makes an effective leader, examined different leadership styles and reflected on their own strengths, values and approaches to working with others. Through discussion, collaboration and interactive activities, students have been encouraged to recognise that leadership can be demonstrated in many different ways and contexts. Students were excited to work with three of our alumnae and former student leaders – we sincerely thank Zara Cammerino, Martine Eid and Annalise Ferbrache for giving of their time to mentor these students.

The program is already providing valuable opportunities for students to build confidence, strengthen communication and teamwork skills, and challenge themselves to step outside their comfort zones. Students have also reflected on the importance of empathy, service and positive influence within our school community.

Involvement in this program will positively support students who wish to apply for leadership positions in their senior years at the College.

We look forward to seeing students continue to grow throughout the remaining workshops and congratulate them on the thoughtful and enthusiastic way they have engaged in the program so far.

CHILD SAFE COMMITTEE UPDATE

Members of the committee present for the Term 2 meeting include:

Rita Grima (Principal)

Brigitte McDonald (Deputy Principal)

Sophia M (SWAT Captain)

Janelle Hurley (Parent)

Nakkita Egan (Head of Students)

Karen Fitzpatrick (Social Worker)

The Child Safe Committee met to review and strengthen the College’s ongoing commitment to student wellbeing, safeguarding, and a culture of safety and respect.

A key focus of the meeting was staff professional learning aligned to the 11 Months, 11 Standards framework, with current emphasis on Standards 3, 4 and 5. Staff professional learning has included Indigenous perspectives with Scott Darlow, AI and digital safety (including deepfake awareness and ethical AI use), trauma-informed practice, family engagement, behaviour consistency, and managing difficult conversations. A second round of workshops will be offered on 26 May to further build staff capability in these areas.

The Committee also discussed policy reviews scheduled for Term 2, including Asthma and Anaphylaxis Management, Bullying Prevention and Intervention, and Inclusive Education. 

Digital safety and emerging risks were highlighted, particularly around AI-generated content and online bullying. These insights will inform updates to policies and pastoral programs to ensure students are supported to navigate technology safely and responsibly.

Updates were provided on wellbeing and pastoral initiatives, including the SWAT program, parent resources, and student support materials being made available through SEQTA. The Term 2 pastoral care focus on Healthy Lifestyles continues to embed child safety, resilience, empathy, and wellbeing themes across all year levels.

Planning also commenced for National Child Protection Week (6–12 September), with the theme “Every Conversation Matters: Shifting Conversation to Action.” The College will explore student-led initiatives, awareness campaigns, House Group activities, staff and parent resources to promote meaningful engagement with child safety messages.

Updates to the PROTECT protocols are also underway, with revised resources and signage to be implemented later in the year.

The Committee continues to ensure that child safety remains embedded in all aspects of College culture, policy, and practice.

ALUMNAE COMMITTEE

Our Alumnae Committee meets once each term on a Wednesday evening from 7:00–8:30pm, working to strengthen and celebrate the lifelong connection between the College and our former students. Through their dedication, the Committee supports opportunities for alumnae to stay connected with one another and with the College community, fostering meaningful engagement with current staff and students and nurturing a lasting sense of belonging.

If you are an alumna and would like to become a member of the Alumnae Committee, please contact alumnae@columba.vic.edu.au. Our next meeting for the 2026 is scheduled for Wednesday 12 August.

Friendships play a major role in a young person’s wellbeing, confidence, and sense of belonging at school. A recent article from the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools highlights that girls’ friendships can often be intense and emotionally significant, particularly during the secondary school years.

The article encourages parents to understand that friendship challenges are a normal part of adolescent development. Girls may experience changing friendship groups, conflict, or feelings of exclusion as they develop their identity and social skills. Parents can best support their daughters by listening calmly, avoiding rushing to “fix” problems immediately, and helping them build resilience and healthy communication skills.

On Friday the 8th of May, the House Representatives of de Lacy and I, as the De Lacy House Captain, had the amazing opportunity to attend an excursion to visit  our House Partner the St Vincent’s Emergency Alcohol and Drug HUB. It was so interesting to see the HUB space, which was new, clean, and such a welcoming place for patients and people in need to go.

During our visit, we explored one of the rooms and learned about the different resources they provide to support disadvantaged people, including those experiencing homelessness that present to the emergency department. The HUB offers essential items such as toiletries and warm clothing, shoes, as well as books, fidgets, and other activities to provide comfort and support  in times of crisis. It was inspiring to see the care and compassion shown to people who may be going through difficult times by the amazing nurses team we met. As a de Lacy community, it was wonderful to see how our donations can make a real difference in helping create a safe and supportive environment for those in need.

If you would like to help our donation drive to support this worthy cause please provide donations to the school college before the 16th of June and a donation can be made via our QR code. Thank you for your support of this worthy cause.

There’s a certain kind of energy that begins to ripple through the College in the lead-up to musical season; late rehearsals, dance calls echoing through corridors, orchestra run-throughs, costume fittings, set pieces taking shape backstage, and students pouring their hearts into every moment. This July, that excitement reaches centre stage as we continue their proud decades-long performing arts tradition with St Bernard’s College for our production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

Behind the scenes, the commitment from our cast, crew, orchestra and production teams has been extraordinary. From backstage quick changes to technical rehearsals, choreography sessions, vocal harmonies and set construction, students have been working tirelessly to bring this beloved story to life with remarkable professionalism, creativity and spirit.

Here’s what some of our students had to say…

“The most enjoyable and memorable part of the experience is enjoying the crispy harmonies and being able to sing Beauty and the Beast songs! The songs sound so amazing and being able to support the ensemble with singing makes me glad.” – Mimi, Year 9

“The best part of being apart of the backstage team so far has been reconnecting with the people who are in a different year level but are also apart of backstage, other the years I have developed long standing friendships with these people and the demand of school coupled with being in different year levels often means we don’t have time to see each other but because we all are in the backstage team for the musical, we become reunited again. ” – Liliana, Year 12

“The atmosphere within the cast and crew feels very professional, welcoming, and supportive. It’s a really enjoyable experience, especially if you want to take a small break from school, reset your mindset, and have fun dancing or singing.” – Eleonora, Year 7

Further details, including performance dates and ticket release information, will be shared soon.

Hockey Competition

Being part of the Student Wellbeing Action Team (SWAT) has helped me learn more about supporting others and making students feel included at school. I enjoy being involved in activities and ideas that help improve student wellbeing and create a positive environment around the College.

This year, I have enjoyed working with other students and staff to think of ways to support the school community. It has also helped me grow in confidence, communication, and teamwork skills.

I think it is important for students to feel safe, supported, and connected at school. Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day. I am grateful for the opportunities at St Columba’s College that allow students to share ideas and contribute to the community.

I would also like to say a special thank you to all of the counsellors, wellbeing staff, and house leaders who make such a positive impact on the College community every day, including Mr Arthurson, Ms Hassan, Ms Barrett, Mr Salmond, Ms Galea, Ms Lang, Mr Pino, Marissa, Karen, Rebecca, Charlotte, and Oliviah. Their support, care, guidance, and encouragement help many students feel welcome, heard, and supported throughout their school journey.

Last Thursday, on the 14th of May, the Year 9 Italian cohort participated in a tarantella workshop run by Rosa, an experienced Italian instructor from the Melbourne School of Tarantella. She taught the classes various steps from her native dance, while also giving a summary of the origin of the dance, creating not only a fun but educational lesson before the dancing even began. Rosa’s goal was to have everyone smiling by the end of her lesson, and she achieved that fairly well. Every student was engaged, and Rosa did an amazing job of encouraging everybody to get involved. Although some students were pulled into the centre of the Tarantella, everyone supported and cheered each other on, making the experience even more enjoyable. By the end of the lesson, the year nines had split off into groups with their friends, continuing the dancing by teaching one another the steps and fully embracing the culture and spirit of the dance.

From the 11th to the 15th of May, STC celebrated the cultural diversity of the world as part of Language Week. On the 13th of May, at lunch, students were invited to experience parts of Japanese culture. The four main activities available to try were origami, the ohashi challenge, kendama and yukata (Japanese summer kimono), alongside taste-testing various Japanese snacks and lollies.

Students were able to try on a Yukata, try to beat other students with their chopstick skills, fold origami and (attempt to) do tricks with the traditional Japanese toy, the kendama. The activities were very fun, and we hope that next year, more people will come to have fun as well!

Shortly after the morning bell rang, my Year 9 French class headed down to the front of the school, where a French crêpe van was waiting for us as part of Languages Week.

It was a lovely way to start the morning, and the smell of the warm crêpes made everyone excited. Students studying French were encouraged to order their crêpes in French, which gave us a fun opportunity to practice our speaking skills in a real-life conversation. The crêpes were delicious, and many students enjoyed the experience.

All in all, the French crêpe van was a fun and memorable part of Languages Week for students to experience a little bit of French culture and utilise their language skills.

For cultural week, my year seven French class was given the amazing opportunity to take part in a French yoga session which was guided by our friendly instructor, Alex. We started our morning session by participating in some light stretches in the room where she introduced herself. Then we moved on to some difficult poses such as the warrior and the downward dog. Alex guided us through these poses in French then translated into English which helped anyone who got lost. She also spoke about our body parts in French which was helpful as we had just learnt about this in class. Instead of only reading or writing French, you were able to hear and understand the language while actively participating in yoga poses and mindfulness exercises. By the end of the 75 minute session we were all feeling relaxed and ready for the day ahead. The opportunity to participate in this was so special as it was extremely fun and engaging as we got to see how French can be spoken outside the classroom. Merci!

Last week, our campus transformed into a high-stakes strategy hub as we hosted the Sustainability Archetype Discovery Event. Forget the old stereotypes of “green teams”, this was about identifying the next generation of industry disruptors, technical architects, and cultural influencers. The energy in the room was electric as students moved through a series of “Identity Labs,” designed to help them uncover which of the 15 Elite Eco Archetypes match their unique personality. We weren’t just looking for volunteers; we were looking for the specific brilliance that each student brings to the table.

The Reveal

The results are in, and the diversity of talent within our community is staggering. We didn’t just find “nature lovers”, we found:

• Environmental Cultural Liaison Officers,
• Energy Information Engineers,
• Futurists,
• Resource Diplomacy Leads and so much more.

Stay tuned as our newly minted specialists begin to roll out passion projects across the school. The Green Revolution just got a massive upgrade in intelligence, style, and strategic power.

Which archetype is your child? Ask them today, the answer might just surprise you.

What 40 Years of Research Says Kids Actually Need

We all have those nights… We’re running late, dinner is burning, the phone is ringing, and at least one child is dramatically upset. As we push through the frantic chaotic stressful moments, we become aware of our youngest child, vying for some attention amid the stress. “I know you want me. I’ll be right there”, we say as we race past our little one time and again. “Just let me take care of this and I’ll be with you.” “I hear you… I’m coming in just a minute.” Finally, in a burst of exasperation these words cut through the noise and endless to-do list; “Mummy (or Daddy)… I NEED you!”

The Job That Never Clocks Off

Sometimes it would be nice to not be so needed. If only we could stop being a parent at 8pm (or 6pm!). Life would be so much simpler if we could clock off for the day, like an employee. But parenting doesn’t work like that. It’s an on-call 24-hour a day, non-stop role. The ongoing, always-at-the-ready, nature of being a parent makes it extremely challenging to always be there for our children – to always be emotionally available. But that is precisely what they need – a parent who is emotionally available. And it is the single most important thing we can be to create a happy, peaceful home, and a happy, secure child.

Don’t Burn The Chicken

Hands up who wants their kids to fulfil their potential? If you’re not putting up your hand, there’s a good chance someone might call Social Services or Child Protection. We’re all supposed to want to see our kids succeed, do their best, and fulfil their potential, right? I have a provocation: research shows that the parents who get the best long-term outcomes from their kids are often the ones who learn to push a little less. This doesn’t mean they don’t care. Nor does it mean they have zero expectations. There’s a central element that makes this work – and that variable is trust. This is counterintuitive. But stay with me for a moment. A friend recently shared an image of two roast chickens. One cooked at 900°F (480°C) for an hour – black, shrivelled, ruined. The other cooked at 300°F (150°C) for three hours – golden, perfect, exactly what a good meal should look like. (Although I’d think two hours would probably be enough.) Same bird. Entirely different outcome. The only thing different was the temperature. It’s a confronting metaphor for parenting because, if we’re honest, many of us are running our households – and our children – pretty hot.
