Dear Parents, Students and Friends,

Yesterday was a very special day for the college as we hosted the Combined K-12 Catholic Schools’ Mass. This is usually an annual event but due to COVID this was the first time this celebration has occurred since 2019. Our secondary students love to see and interact with the younger students. The mass comes alive with the involvement of students of all ages. The musicians were exceptional, and it was a very beautiful way to mark Holy Week. A special thanks to all involved in the planning of this mass. It was a proud day for Catholic Education on the South Coast!                                               

Today is Holy Thursday (The Lord’s Supper) and marks the end of Lent when the Church begins the celebration of the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper. This Mass begins a three-day liturgy – known as the Easter Triduum spanning Friday, Saturday, and ending with evening prayer on Easter Sunday. This three-day period allows time to truly experience and appreciate this tremendous mystery.

Easter liturgy times are published in Parish Bulletins.

Project Compassion 

As we enter Holy Week, we continue to reflect on the lives of people vulnerable to extreme poverty and injustice and how we can respond through supporting Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion appeal. 

Your generosity is the pebble that allows Caritas Australia to create the ripples that will improve the livelihoods of vulnerable communities, supporting them to flourish and create opportunities for future generations to live to their full potential. 

Thank you!

RE Coordinator

On Wednesday Carroll College hosted the Combined Schools’ Mass. This was a wonderful K-12 Pathways event where students and staff from Carroll College, St Bernard’s and St Mary’s were able to come together to celebrate Mass and then share in morning tea.

Students from all three schools participated in the Mass, which was co-celebrated by Fr Loi from St Bernard’s Parish and Fr Anthony from Sacred Heart Parish. The Mass also included a moving reflection of the Stations of the Cross, led by our Year 10 Youth Ministry students. 

Thank you to everybody involved in making the Combined Schools’ Mass a special celebration and acknowledgment of the importance of Catholic education on the South Coast.

Rotary Young Driver Awareness Program

Our Year 11 students, along with Mr Graziani, Ms Rudol and Mrs Gray attended the RYDA program held at Moruya Racetrack on Monday. A huge thank you to Batemans Bay Rotary for organising a range of activities and guest speakers that had a powerful impact on our newest Learner drivers and those planning to get their permits. The following quotes encapsulate the experiences of the day.

I enjoyed a wonderful experience at the RYDA program. It provided me with a sense of awareness of the responsibilities that need to be considered on the road and as a driver. Being a road user and now having the knowledge that the program gave me, I will be able to have a better sense of judgement which will allow me to make safe decisions on the road. By hearing from victims with past road trauma due to fatigue, put it into perspective of how cautious you must be and what the impacts of being tired has on the driver. I will ensure to share the road knowledge I learned with others so that everyone travels safely on our roads and the effects of dangerous driving. To the 2024 Year 11 cohort who attend the RYDA program, I recommend taking on board everything that is said so that you are at no risk when travelling on the road as a driver.  Sophie Billett

I am now more aware of the effect speed has on the braking distance of a car. (If I double my speed my braking distance is quadrupled). When I get my Learner's driver's licence and later my P's, I will remember to get a 4 or above ANCAP rating. I will suggest to other people to buy a car with an ANCAP rating of 4 or above to ensure maximum safety and remind them to speak up if they feel unsafe as a passenger in a car, eg. say you are feeling sick, then the driver will most likely pull over. I would say to Year 11 2024 to have an open mind and listen to what the volunteers have to say as it will come in handy when you learn to drive or get your P's. I had a great day learning from experienced drivers about road safety. Thank you to all the teachers who made this day possible for Year 11. Tahlia S

Thank you again to Batemans Bay Rotary.

Academic Care Period

The Week 10 focus for the Academic Care period ranged from Year 8, 9 and 10 enjoying the activities to celebrate Easter, with Year 10 also finishing off their Careers topic. Year 11, who are leading the Carroll Day celebrations, worked together on their planning of events, while Year 12 unpacked what working as a team looks like to achieve their best academic results. Year 12 also spent time planning the best way to find balance in the upcoming student break whilst also using this time to catch up on completing study notes and revising the content covered this term. Year 7 headed off to enjoy their history incursion and archeological dig.

Anzac Day

Carroll College proudly supports the commemoration events for Anzac Day held across the region, both dawn services and marches. Our staff, students and families are encouraged to attend these local events. When attending, students are encouraged to wear their college uniform and either stand together or join the march as the Carroll College community.

Local services;

• Batemans Bay (Dawn Service 5.45am at the Honour Stone and the March 10.00 am from Orient St with the main service at 10.50am)
• Moruya (Dawn service 5.20am for 5.30am start and the March 10.45am for an 11.00am start)
• Nelligen (TBA)
• Tuross (Dawn Service 5.30am)
• Tomakin (March and Service 6.30am from the Rivermouth Café)

Xavier Day

A great way to finish off a busy term and raise some funds for Caritas was to have fun with Xavier Day! Thank you to the House Captains, Lani Rogerson and Tom Haynes, and Mrs Karen Lyttle the House Pastoral Coordinator for organising fun Easter-themed activities. We know that all the money raised will go to helping the work Caritas does across the world.

Buses

Recently, Priors Bus Service Batemans Bay gave each student travelling with them a letter to take home to parents. In case your child missed this letter or forgot to get it out of their bag, you can read it in the link below. Priors are keen to remind students and parents of the behaviour expectations for passengers and the consequences for misbehaviour. The College supports these expectations so our wonderful drivers can do their job and all passengers have a safe journey. Parents are encouraged to talk to their children and ensure they are clear on the rules of bus travel.

Dear Carroll Community,

We have finally arrived at the end of a very busy, action-packed term at Carroll College. In reflection we have witnessed our Year 12 cohort enter their final year of study and are officially halfway to achieving their Higher School Certificate. Year 11 cohort have successfully completed the first term of the preliminary course, and our Stage 4 and 5 students are actively involved in their learning. Behind the scenes, the Curriculum Learning Team and Key Learning Area Teams have had several meetings to discuss the version for Assessment and Reporting as we move towards Term 2. Earlier this term I reached out to families to gather their perspective on our current school reports. The following results include:

The feedback from families was very positive and we feel confident as a school we are providing quality reporting for all our students. To further enhance this process, we are fine tuning the “Engagement with Learning” section, to provide a greater range of learning attributes. This will focus on elements such as;

• Brings all the correct equipment, books,
• uniform and technology to complete tasks
• Manages time effectively
• Collaborates positively
• Works independently when required
• Completes and submits required work on time
• Seeks clarification or assistance when needed
• Contributes to a positive learning environment 

We are looking forward to providing more updates on Assessment and Reporting as next term unfolds. I would like to wish all our families a very safe and relaxing Easter break.

Warm regards

Andrew Kenneally

Assistant Principal (Curriculum, Learning and Innovation)

Term 1 Data Analysis

HSC Data

This term, I have worked with the Curriculum leaders to analyse and interpret the HSC data from 2022. We are fortunate to have access to the HSC Results Analysis Package and “DeCourcy” data. Over 20 years ago, John DeCourcy sought a better way of understanding and using achievement data and working with the Catholic Education Commission (NSW) he created a multilevel analysis of HSC data. This analysis is available to all Catholic secondary schools in the State. One of the central concepts the curriculum leaders analysed is the ‘Comparative Learning Gain' (CPG). This is looking at the comparison in performance of the students in each course in the College, with that of similar students in other schools. It is pleasing to see several of the courses above the expected CPG and many courses presenting a positive gradient, which shows that teaching and learning at Carroll College has a positive impact on the performance of the students. 

The Curriculum leaders explored the “Trends Analysis” graphs for each course displaying measures over the last six years. Two scatterplots enabled the leaders to put faces on the data and look at patterns. Reviewing how to interpret the graphs was only a minor focus of the sessions. The discussions about the students who showed the greatest comparative learning gain were comprehensive and inspiring. These students may not have received the highest HSC result; however, they have shown the greatest learning growth in the course. The common theme around these students is: (1) they asked questions in class time, (2) handed in drafts, (3) completed their homework and assessment tasks, (4) sought help when required and (5) showed dedication and perseverance to their studies. Curriculum leaders will discuss their findings with their teams to design their strategic goals for 2023. 

Student Data

This year, the staff are using Student Performance Analyser (SPA) to assist in the analysis of students' data. SPA is a secure web-based software tool designed and built for schools to analyse, display and communicate assessment data. It produces a number of sortable reports that allow staff to interpret and monitor the progress of individual students, groups of students and whole school cohorts quickly and easily.

Schools and teachers use data for many reasons. At Carroll College, we believe that data should be used to support learning in a way that develops our thriving learning community where students are engaged and motivated. 

Earlier this term, teachers and Classroom Support Assistants used SPA to interpret student data. We are using the data in several ways. 

1. Identify areas where students need additional support or extension. By analysing student data, teachers identified areas where students may be struggling or requiring extension work and have adjusted their teaching strategies to better meet the needs of our students.
2. Monitor student progress. Data helps us to track our students’ progress over time and determine whether our teaching practices are effective. By monitoring student progress, teachers can adjust their practices as needed to ensure that all students are making progress towards their learning goals.
3. Collaborate with colleagues. By sharing and discussing best practices, we are helping each other improve our teaching practices and better support our students.
4. To make data-informed decisions: Teachers use data to make informed decisions about curriculum, instruction, and assessment. By analysing data, teachers can identify trends and patterns in student performance and can make decisions about how to improve their teaching and learning.

Highlights of our Data

The SPA platform provides us with reports to monitor the whole school quickly and easily. When observing the data, we have seen improvement in the NAPLAN writing tests over the past 4 years, (no NAPLAN in 2020). We look forward to continued success as we further implement High Impact Teaching Practices into our lessons.

Mother’s Day Breakfast

We will hold our annual Mother’s Day Breakfast on Thursday 11 May from 7.30 am to 8.30 am in the College Hub. Please see below the Mother’s Day Breakfast invitation. We hope you can join us for this special celebration.

Term 2 weekly reminders …

What a wonderful start to the year for TAS!

Year 7 students studied either Materials Timber, Food Technology or Agriculture combined with Digital Technologies this term and created some fantastic projects and had some amazing learning experiences.

The combined Agriculture/Digital Technologies students learned about coding using a MicroBit to program it to turn on a small water pump when the soil moisture tester indicated that the soil was too dry. The problem-solving involved in this task is intense, and the students worked together and persevered with troubleshooting tasks to get their projects working.

The Materials Timber students created a Funds Box out of pine that involved the use of hand tools and machinery. The students also chose an image to embellish onto their boxes using the laser cutter.

Food Technology is always a favorite! This term the students made dishes ranging from cheesecakes to Gozlemes, and all were presented to a high standard. Students learned about hygiene using a UV light to analyse how well they washed their hands which is a fun and insightful task to demonstrate how correct hand washing can make a difference in reducing the spread of germs and bacteria when handling food.

Year 8 students studied either Materials Timber or Food Technology this term.

The Materials Timber students constructed a Treats Dispenser designed to release one treat per rotation of the wheel. This task stepped the students up in their skill level from Year 7 by incorporating chamfers which were created using the hand plane, hinges and more advanced measuring and marking out activities to complete the final project.

The Year 8 Food Technology unit currently being studied is Fantastic Food which focuses on adolescent nutrition.  

Stage 5 students studied either Timber, Design and Technology or Food Technology. The timber students designed and created a Serving Board using a mixture of hardwoods, created templates and customised their boards with laser etching. The Design and Technology students focused on marketing and logo design using Illustrator in the 'Tag That Unit', while the Food Technology students designed and produced a fusion pizza that had to include one or more Australian Indigenous ingredients. They had a choice of sweet or savoury pizza, which they prepared and presented alongside a folio for their first assessment task.

Preliminary Industrial Technology students have been busy creating Dartboards with advanced joints and construction techniques.

Year 11 Design and Technology are currently embarking on a “flat pack furniture” project. Students are designing and constructing cardboard scaled furniture to be displayed in the hub next term. The class will be presenting in the hub a “pop-up Ikea store” to display their amazing projects. Be sure to check out their projects in the newsletter next term.

HSC Design and Technology students are feverishly working on their Major Design Projects, which include landscape design, a Paludarium, a wall-hung custom console unit and a sensory pendant. 

Year 12 Industrial Technology  Jesse and Dylan have had a very productive term in Industrial Technology Timber. The students have been working hard to design and conceptualise their Major Design Project. Students have drawn on their research to develop one-to-one scale drawings of their design. This process allows for the design to be fully realised and then developed. Templates and jigs are also designed to assist in the manufacture of the project. Both students are fully underway in the design production, and we are looking forward to Term 2 to continue the making process.

I look forward to showcasing all the projects when they are complete.

Thank you to the amazing TAS staff who inspire and make learning fun and engaging each day. A huge thank you to Mr Niall McPherson, who stepped in to pick up Mr Joel Coates' classes while he was absent due to injury. Your time has been much appreciated, Niall.

On Friday, 31 March, the Rosellas Environment group and Year 12 Geography students teamed up with the Environment and Sustainability team from Eurobodalla Shire Council to conduct a clean-up and monitoring activity in the McLeods Creek area behind the Pavilion centre in Batemans Bay.

This area of the Clyde Estuary has unfortunately seen an increase in the amount of litter accumulating in recent months, particularly in the casuarina forest and mangroves adjacent to the carpark.

The litter collected was sorted, and data entered into the Australian Marine Debris database to help inform future litter reduction strategies.

Everyone involved enjoyed a few hours outside in the Autumn sunshine doing something worthwhile for the local environment!

Senior Boys AFL

On Tuesday our senior boys AFL team accompanied by Mr Thane and Mr Graziani travelled to Canberra to participate in the South Canberra Senior AFL Gala day. 

To start the day the boys faced a slick Radford College outfit. As a result of jumping straight from the two-and-a-half-hour bus drive to the game, the boys started very slowly and dropped the first game 5.6.36 to 0.2.2.  

Opposite to the first game, the boys came out firing in the second defeating a respectful St Edmunds outfit 0.2.2 to 7.4.46.  

The boys saved their best performance for the final game in the pools against a fierce and strong Erindale College. The boys showed tremendous effort, and this was reflective in the halftime score as the boys trailed by one goal. Unfortunately, Erindales fitness prevailed in the second half and the boys fell 6.3.39 to 2.1.13 to the eventual premiers.  

To finish the day the boys played in the bronze medal game and triumphed 6.6.42 to 2.0.12 over St Edmunds.  

The boys are commended for their effort and their positive representation of the college.  

A reminder Term 1 2023 fee statements were due Monday 27 March 2023.
