Dear Family and Friends of OLSH College,
This week in the archdiocese of Melbourne is known as Catholic Education Week. An opportunity to celebrate and affirm the outstanding achievements in catholic education. In this our 85th anniversary year we too join into the celebrations of the story of catholic education in our context at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College Bentleigh.
You will read and see all that is happening in this edition of the newsletter. We are proud of our history as an outstanding catholic girls college in the OLSH Tradition and we know that we form part of a larger Australia wide community committed to the catholic education of our young people.
The National Catholic Education Commission shares excellent data about the presence of catholic education in Australia: 1755 catholic schools educating 785,000 students and employing 102,000 staff. Catholic education is the 2nd largest school sector in Australia and has educated millions of students across more than 200 years. A story certainly worth knowing and celebrating.
For us here at OLSH College it is central that we live our tradition: Heart people who are faith filled, reverence relationships, pursue excellence and touch the hearts of others. It is in this way that we continue to carry the flame of the charism of the OLSH sisters – and live our OLSH story. Indeed, we are greatly blessed!
Today we celebrated the Feast of St Patrick may this excerpt from his famous prayer be in our hearts…
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me all that love me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me….
Regnet Christus
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Pray for Us.

Welcome to Country
We were privileged to have Aboriginal Elder and proud Gunditjmara man Uncle Trevor at the College recently for a very special Welcome to Country. Uncle Trevor spoke of the gift that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identity is in our modern world and led us in a beautiful smoking ceremony.
Our students and staff were invited to place eucalyptus leaves in the fire as part of the smoking ceremony and we also heard from Year 7 students Summer and Daisy about the work they’ve been doing in Humanities to understand current discussions about The Voice referendum.
An enormous thank you to Ms Linda Molinaro and her Year 10 RE class who prepared our sacred space and led the school community in prayer to celebrate this special occasion.

On Friday 17th March we represented the College at the St. Patrick’s Day Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral as part of the Catholic Education Week celebrations. The Cathedral was packed with both primary and secondary school students and there was a lot of green! With bagpipers welcoming us into the Cathedral grounds, we took some photos before joining the opening procession carrying our College banner. After mass we had our photo taken with Archbishop Peter Comensoli. It was great to be a part of the celebrations as we represented OLSH! - Regnet Christus leaders

Lenten Appeal activities
Our Lenten Appeal activities are continuing, raising funds for Caritas Australia and the OLSH Sisters missions. Xavier made a great contribution to the appeal with their two-day bake sale, raising more than $1,600. We've tipped over the $2,000 mark for our Lenten Appeal fundraising which will be boosted significantly over the coming weeks by Sweeney’s St Pats day stall, Hartzer’s sausage sizzle and Chevalier’s Jules Chevalier Birthday activities. Thank you to Xavier House and all who supported the sale.

Engaging in feedback opportunities
With the term well and truly underway, students will begin to complete assessment or formal learning tasks. Students are often drawn to the mark as soon as the work comes back, but it should not be the first thing that we look at. The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership are clear on the intent of feedback for learners. They write,
“Effective feedback is designed to achieve improvement in student learning, continuously driving a student’s current performance towards a current learning goal.”
With this in mind, when assessment tasks are completed, some leading questions that you could ask your daughter might be:
- How did you prepare for the assessment task?
- After reading the feedback that your teacher provided, what is one clear goal that you can work on during the next unit of work?
- What was the most important part of your feedback that will help you to learn?
We are clear with our intent for feedback, and know how important it is that students engagement in the conversations about their learning. We have upcoming online Parent Teacher Interviews where students should attend and be engaged in the conversation of learning.

Linguistics skills put to the test
Our language students put their analytical skills to the test when they competed in the first round of OZCLO, the Australian Computational and Linguistics Olympiad. The competition included five problems based on different languages, and the students worked in teams applying reasoning and elimination to find the answers. The three top teams from each region are invited to enter the National Round. Good luck girls!

Measuring motion at Luna Park
An important part of the VCE Physics course is the study of motion. Last week the VCE students visited Luna Park to participate in a program where they measured accelerations and made calculations of velocity and energy on the different rides. It was a great way to put Physics motion theories into practice, working together in a fun environment and cementing this knowledge that is fundamental to their course.

The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence - Beyoncé Knowles
Confidence is having a belief in oneself and a belief that we have the ability to meet life’s challenges. In what ways do we at the College instil and promote confidence in our girls? Since our last newsletter we have had over 80 girls who volunteer to be ambassadors at our Open Morning. Each one of them is stretching themselves and having the confidence to take a risk and put themselves out there for others.
The College was represented most recently at the Alliance International Women’s Day Breakfast. Four of our student leaders had the confidence to say yes, and represented the College, meeting other women from a number of different schools and being great advocates for OLSH.
At our Welcome to Country Assembly, two Year 7 students volunteered to speak up about The Voice referendum, having the courage in only their fifth week of school to talk about what they had been doing in their Humanities classes. Our student leaders attended the YLead conference, where they got to know each other on a different level, problem solved and worked together as team.
Building confidence in our girls is so important for them to have belief in who they are. We need to continue to provide our girls with opportunities that involve some struggle, safe risks and possible failure and mess ups. It’s through these experiences that learning happens, rebound occurs and confidence is grown.

Alliance of Girls Schools Australia International Women’s Day breakfast
Our Regnet Christus leaders attended the Alliance of Girls Schools Australia International Women’s Day breakfast in Queens Hall at Parliament House. It was a great opportunity for the leaders to tour the beautiful spaces in Parliament House with MPs Georgie Crozier and Jess Wilson and hear from inspirational speaker Dr Angelia Grant, Head of Macroeconomic Conditions Division in the Australian Treasury.
The Regnet Christus leaders shared their reflection of the morning:
“Being given the opportunity to attend the International Women’s Day breakfast for all Girls Schools at the Queens Hall on Friday the 3rd of March was a privilege. The fine food and beverages were great but to have been in the presence of many inspiring, passionate and hardworking women was truly amazing.
From hearing Jess Wilson’s (Member for Kew in the Legislative Assembly) experiences to Dr Angelia Grant’s empowering and motivating story, the event was one to remember. For us as Regnet Christus Leaders, a few of the points made by these women that stayed with us and will hopefully encourage you were “Don’t listen to the little voice in your head that tells you can’t achieve your goals” and “You must be respectful but not silent”, both said by Dr Grant.
We finished the event by being shown around the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly. We are very grateful to have been invited.” - Regnet Christus leaders

Inspiring and empowering our student leaders
Our student leaders participated in a leadership workshop this week, presented by the team from YLead. The girls worked together on problem solving activities and discussing the qualities of leadership. As they plan for their year ahead as College leaders, these discussions help to empower the leaders to make a difference and inspires them to lift up those around them.
Here’s what some of the leaders said after the workshop.
“Leadership is more than being the loudest in the room, it’s about lifting the voices of others.”
“I learnt how to use my voice efficiently. I am so excited for what is in store for 2023.”
“Leadership is all about community.”
“I feel empowered and inspired in trying to make a difference in our school community.”
“Leadership isn’t about control. It’s ok to let go.”

News from our Student Leaders
Over the last few weeks, the student leaders have worked hard to both prepare and execute the first of our Lenten Appeal fundraisers. In particular, a massive congratulations to the Xavier team who kickstarted the Appeal.
“On 28th Feb and 1st March, Xavier ran a bake sale as part of their Lenten Appeal initiative. All proceeds went to Caritas Australia and the OLSH Missions, and overall, Xavier raised $1,600. A big thank you to all the students and families who helped bake and provide goodies that were then used to sell for student donations. The day was a big success, and it wouldn’t have run so smoothly without all the Xavier leaders and teachers who provided constant support and help, so thank you!” - Amelia Mundy, Xavier House Captain.
Additionally, the Chevalier and Sweeney leaders are gearing up for a jam-packed Week 7, where fundraising will continue on Jules Chevalier’s birthday (15th of March) and St Patrick’s day (17th of March).
On the 3rd of March, the Regnet Christus Leaders headed into the city for the Alliance of Girls Schools Australia International Women’s Day breakfast and were inspired to meet and hear from leaders in the public sector.
In other news, the Year 11 Environmental Captain, Olivia Witham, along with her Environment Team, have had a great start to their Environment Arts Competition with a large turnout for their information session. Below is a message from the team!

All entries must be submitted by the 31st of March to oliwitham@student.olsh.vic.edu.au OR handed into one of the Environment Captains!!”
On the 7th of March, the student leadership team were lucky enough to participate in a leadership enrichment program with yLead.
