SILOAM
From blindness to sight to insight
Over the past couple of days I’ve had the privilege of being at St Clement's Retreat and Conference Centre in Galong with my secondary principal colleagues for Siloam. This is a time set aside each term for principal groups to gather for faith formation and professional development. This experience is named Siloam after the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem. I was fortunate enough to visit this sacred place when visiting the Holy Land last year. The theme of Siloam this term was Truth, Goodness and Beauty and focused on the connectedness of Catholic social teachings in relation to our lived experiences. It is quite profound to have the time to reflect deeply on what spiritual truths we hold in our heart.
The pursuit of truth is a lifelong journey
that leads us closer to God.
Fr Timothy Radcliffe’s quote, “The pursuit of truth is a lifelong journey that leads us closer to God,” encapsulates the notion that seeking truth is not just a one-time endeavour, but a continual process that weaves through our entire lives. As we engage in the search for truth, whether it be in understanding the world around us or exploring our own inner selves, we are also opening ourselves up to a deeper connection with the divine. This pursuit demands humility, curiosity, and an open mind, as we unravel the mysteries of existence and seek to align ourselves with a higher purpose. In this ongoing journey towards truth, we not only expand our knowledge and understanding, but we also grow closer to the divine, experiencing a profound sense of connection and purpose in our lives.
National Sorry Day
NOW MORE THAN EVER
This Sunday marks National Sorry Day. The theme for 2024 is ‘Now More Than Ever’, encouraging all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation. National Sorry Day is an annual event in Australia on 26 May. It commemorates the Stolen Generations; the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly separated from their families.
National Sorry Day begins National Reconciliation Week and next Wednesday our three Catholic schools will come together in prayer as a K-12 community for the annual Combined Schools’ Mass. Parents and parishioners are warmly welcome. Full details can be found further on in this newsletter.
Macquarie University Walanga Muru Rising Star Leadership Camp
Congratulations to eight of our Year 10 students, Dane Gillies, Allira Sullivan, Annaliese Nye-Smith, Isaac Chatfield, Tarlaya Te-Kowhai, Keayne Williams, Miah Chatfield and Mia Lasscock, who have been accepted into the Macquarie University Walanga Muru Rising Star Leadership Camp from 2-4 July.
Walanga Muru hosts a three-day leadership camp for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Year 10. Rising Stars Leadership Camp is an all-inclusive 3-day camp designed to further develop students' leadership skills, grow their cultural knowledge and encourage their future aspirations. The camp supports young leaders to consider career options and immerse themselves in university life. Special thanks to Mrs Elise Paull for her efforts in securing this opportunity for our students. Mrs Paull has developed a strong working relationship with Macquarie University and our connection as a college has enabled eight of our students to be selected. Congratulations to our 2024 participants.
PARTNERSHIP WITH LA TROBE UNIVERSITY – NEXUS PROGRAM
You can complete a Master of Teaching (Primary) while getting paid to work in a NSW school.
As an initiative of the CECG People Strategy, this partnership provides individuals who have previously completed an undergraduate degree, access to the program and the ability to pursue a Master of Teaching (Primary) while undertaking paid employment in eligible CECG schools. In addition to paid employment in CECG, and financial support offered by La Trobe, participants also benefit from the support of university and CECG school-based mentors.
HOW IT WORKS
- Year One - Students commence course work and meet their peers at face-to-face intensive classes and online lectures and tutorials. It is anticipated students will commence working in Term 4 of 2024 as a Classroom Support Assistant one (1) day a week and then two (2) days a week in the following two (2) terms.
- Year Two - Course work continues including a second Nexus intensive. Students move to a 0.8 teaching load as a Conditionally Accredited Teacher.
- Graduation - Students graduate and transition to provisional accreditation in NSW.
To assist with implementing this program, Director of Catholic Education Canberra Goulburn, Mr Ross Fox has asked Principals to release this information to their communities. Please refer to program details included in this newsletter. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone considering a teaching career in primary education.

Next Thursday and Friday I will be attending the Southern Region Principals’ meeting in Cooma. Mr Andrew Kenneally will be Principal (Acting) in my absence.
A reminder to Year 10 families that an information session is being held on Monday 27 May at 6pm in the Hub for parents for Urban Challenge. Don’t miss this amazing experience for your child!
As we move into the weekend, I thank all families for their ongoing support. We are working hard to establish very clear expectations for student wellbeing so our young people can flourish as aspirational learners.
With respect and encouragement to you.

A Message from our Assistant Principal, Pastoral Care
Urban Challenge
An important information meeting for all parents and carers of our Year 10 students will be held on Monday 27 May 2024 in the HUB starting at 6.00 pm.
Paul from Urban Challenge will be visiting the college to lead the information evening. During his presentation, Paul will provide details about the Urban Challenge experience our students will have, along with answering any questions. A huge part of the Urban Challenge experience for students is the surprises along the way. To facilitate this, we ask that students from the college not attend the evening. They will have opportunities throughout the year to find out more and begin to prepare for their adventure.
Last year, the Urban Challenge was a wonderful experience for the students and the staff and we are very pleased to be able to offer it again in 2024. See you at the meeting.

In our community, we have many individuals and families that have been touched by cancer. We know that scientists here and around the world are constantly seeking treatments and cures. To support this vital work and to help raise funds for the Cancer Council we recognised Australia's Biggest Morning Tea on Wednesday 22 May. For several weeks, Mrs Ciuffetelli and the SRC have been preparing for this event through advertising, selling raffle tickets or working on the day.
Students and staff raised over $400. Mrs Whiteman and Mrs Dalgleish and the senior Hospitality students made a range of sweet and savoury treats. Members of the Senior Leadership Team, Bonnie Dalgleish and Mrs Fryer served food and drinks at 2494 Café window for staff. At the Canteen, SRC members sold marshmellow-filled Rocky Road which was both delicious and popular. The Staff raffle was won by Mrs Dell and hamper raffle was won by Mrs Davis. The guessing competition was won by Sophie McFayden. Thank you to all the staff and students who contributed in a variety of ways to the success of this important cause.

DOOF
On Wednesday night we all enjoyed the first DOOF of the year. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) settled on the theme of 'Back to the 80s' which gave everyone the chance to break out the fluro, lycra and dust off their leg warmers. We all enjoyed watching a combination of live music from our very talented students along with music played by DJ Jet from Swell Records.![DSC_0876](https://prod005-au.sz-cdn.net/carrollc/media/9216/240522105656160/6016x4016/dsc_0876.jpg)

HSC Minimum Standards
This week I provided an insight into the HSC Minimum Standards exams that our Year 10 cohort will be sitting early term 3.
What is the HSC Minimum Standards?
All students need to reach a minimum standard of functional literacy and numeracy to receive the HSC. Find out what skills are needed to meet the standard, how the tests work, and the resources available.
Meeting the HSC minimum standard
The HSC minimum standard is set at Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).
Students need to achieve Level 3 or 4 in short online numeracy, reading and writing tests of skills for everyday life to meet the HSC minimum standard.
This means that students who demonstrate the standard have the skills to do things like:
- follow safety instructions in equipment manuals
- understand a mobile phone plan
- write a job application
- create a personal weekly budget.
- Taking the minimum standard tests
To meet the HSC minimum standard, students need to achieve Level 3 or 4 in short online numeracy, reading and writing tests. Learn about how the tests work and how to prepare for the tests.
Rules about taking the tests
The HSC minimum standard is set at Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).
Students can sit the numeracy, reading or writing test from Year 10 up until they reach the HSC minimum standard for that domain. The 3 domains are numeracy, reading and writing.
You can take each test:
- up to 6 times per year, if you are in Year 12
- up to 4 times per year, if you are in Year 10 or Year 11
- from Year 10 until up to 5 years after starting your first HSC course
- at least 30 calendar after your last attempt in a test in the same domain.
Your school:
- will help you decide when you are ready to take each test
- can arrange for you to sit practice tests
- may run a test for a group of students or an individual student.
- Leaving school before the HSC
If you plan to leave school before completing the HSC, you can speak to your school about taking the minimum standard tests to demonstrate your level of literacy and numeracy.
Sitting for the tests after the HSC
If you do not demonstrate the minimum standard before you leave school, you can apply to sit for one or more minimum standard online tests.
To be eligible, you need to have fulfilled all your HSC requirements except for the minimum standard of literacy and/or numeracy.
- You can sit for the tests up to 5 years after starting your first HSC course.
- There is no cost to sit for the tests.
- HSC minimum standard resources
The HSC minimum standard tests require students to show their skills in numeracy, reading and writing. Find available resources, including sample questions and answers, to prepare for the tests.
Learn more about the skills needed to meet the HSC minimum standard. Additional information, support and resources are available in Schools Online to help schools implement the HSC minimum standard and the associated tests.
Sample questions and demonstration tests
To help schools, parents and students understand the skills required to meet the HSC minimum standard, view the sample questions and demonstration tests.
The questions cover achievement from ACSF Level 2 to Level 4, as described in the achievement level descriptions.
These questions are similar to the types of questions students will be asked in the minimum standard tests. The demonstration tests help students understand the look and feel of the online tests.
Practice tests
Practice tests are available in numeracy, reading and writing. Schools must enrol students in these tests via Schools Online and they should be done at school under teacher supervision.
The 25-minute practice numeracy and reading tests each includes 25 multiple-choice questions and are adaptive. The 45-minute practice writing test requires students to write up to 500 words in response to a prompt.
90% of teachers surveyed by NESA said that students found the practice tests useful, particularly in identifying if they were ready to take the online tests. Students are encouraged to speak to their teachers if they would like to try one of the practice tests.
Year 10 will be undertaking practice tests this term to best prepare them for the HSC Minimum Standards exams in term 3.

Pentecost, often referred to as the ‘birthday of the Church,’ holds profound symbolism. The Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles in the form of tongues of fire, empowering them to spread the message of love, compassion and understanding to people of all nations and languages. This event underscores the inclusive nature of Christianity, where the barriers of language, culture and background are transcended in the pursuit of shared values and faith.
In his homily on Sunday, Fr Loi commented on his recent meeting with Catholic priests from the Archdiocese. He told the congregation about the many languages being spoken and noted the multicultural, diverse and inclusive nature of Australian clergy in the twenty-first century. This was the theme of the international conference ‘A Current of Grace’ this week, an event that myself, Belle Barling and Jennifer Smith (St Bernard’s REC) had the privilege to attend. We were fortunate enough to listen to keynote addresses from academics from around the world, including Barbara Coupar (Director of the Scottish Catholic Education Service) and Fr Friedrich Bechina (Undersecretary for the Vatican Congregation for Catholic Education).
Barbara delivered a powerful speech, in which she emphasised the power of inclusivity and of meeting students where they are at in their faith formation journey. She elaborated by stating, that building relationships and providing role models to students is the first step towards encounter, discipleship and mission. Fr Friedrich further elaborated on this sentiment by quoting the Gospel of Mark, ‘Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.’ He discussed the importance of Catholic schools bearing witness in visible and tangible ways. At the Open Night last week, I noted our social justice initiatives, Faith Formation days and Youth Ministry Group. I can confidently say that we are striving to do our very best to ‘bear witness’ in accessible and engaging ways for our students at the College.
This was beautifully reflected in our annual Carroll Day Service on Friday 10 May. Students in our Youth Ministry Group, along with our Social Justice Captains, helped to facilitate a mass that paid tribute to Archbishop Francis Carroll. Karen Lyttle, who has been with the College since its first year, paid tribute to ‘Father Frank’ whilst reflecting on his humility and his emphasis on the importance of being welcoming and inclusive.
A copy of her speech is included here:
It is indeed an honour to speak about Archbishop Francis Carroll today.
My first encounter with Father Francis dates back to 1995. I vividly recall the moment, as a young teacher filled with anticipation and a touch of nervousness. He was introduced to me simply as "Father Frank". Reflecting upon it now, it's truly inspiring to consider that our esteemed College, now entering its 30th year, bears the name of such a modest individual.
Although Carroll Day was initially designated for September 5th, a date Father Francis himself chose, this particular week holds special significance in our history. Almost exactly 30 years ago, on May 7th, 1994, Father Francis Carroll stood upon these very grounds, then adorned with banksia and gum trees, and bestowed his blessings upon the site. Nearly 500 people gathered to witness the formal inauguration of the College, marked by the ceremonial blessing and the planting of a commemorative flowering gum tree. The very shovel displayed in our prayer space today bears witness to Father Frank's labour on that memorable occasion, engraved to immortalise the event.
Father Francis was initially taken aback by the notion of a school bearing his name. He famously remarked, "I confess to being rather embarrassed by the suggested name, Carroll College. Schools are usually named after a saint, not after a sinner." This sentiment epitomises Father Francis Carroll's humble disposition. There was never any grandeur or ostentation with Father Frank; he was rather reserved, preferring to spend his time engaging in conversations with students.
I consider myself fortunate to have dedicated the majority of my teaching career to Carroll College. I had the privilege of being present for the inaugural Carroll Day, alongside Mrs Smart and Mrs Barling, who, as some of the first students to enrol in 1995, share fond memories of those early years. Back then, our school was small, with fewer than 90 students and seven full-time staff. We lacked a proper hall and had barely an oval to speak of. Yet, Father Francis graced us with his presence during those formative years, joining in our Carroll Day festivities held in the senior courtyard. Those who remain from those early years fondly recall Father Francis participating in liturgies, games, and even our variety concerts, now known as the Battle of the Bands. He would sit among the students, tapping his foot to the music.
Father Francis would occasionally slip away, only to be found kicking around an AFL footy with the students on the oval, often sporting his beloved football scarf. His passion for AFL remained undiminished until his passing earlier this year.
Above all, Father Francis desired Carroll College to be a place where every student felt welcome and had the opportunity to pursue lifelong learning, excelling in their academic, athletic, and extracurricular pursuits. He envisioned our students leaving our doors ready to make meaningful contributions to society, understanding that not all who walked through our gates shared the Catholic faith, but hoping that they would benefit from the values instilled through a Catholic education.

Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT)
Over the past fortnight, students in Years 7-10 have been completing the PAT Reading and Maths assessments. Next week I will download each student’s PAT report, which will be available on Compass. We encourage parents and students to review these reports together, focusing on:
· Areas of strength
· Areas for further development
· Enjoyable aspects of the assessment
· Challenges faced
· Personal and academic progress and growth
· Areas where students feel they need to develop and build agency.
Understanding the Scores:
· Scaled scores: These scores adjust raw scores to account for test difficulty and allow for comparison across different test versions.
· Achievement Bands: These are standardised scores that divide the student population into nine groups, providing a quick way to see where a student stands relative to others.
To assist with understanding the scaled score, parents will receive an email with a copy of the PAT Achievement Band Descriptors, which describes the learning outcomes within each scaled score.
Using and analysing Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) in reading and maths effectively in a school setting involves several steps, including administration, data collection, analysis, and using the results to inform teaching and learning strategies.
The College leaders will analyse the PAT data to measure cohort growth and transform the data into information to share with all staff. Comparing current results with previous ones is crucial for tracking student progress and evaluating the effectiveness of instructional strategies. The Maths and English departments will closely examine their students’ data to identify areas for growth and improvement.
By utilising PAT data, we aim to enhance educational outcomes and support all students in their learning journey.
Next week’s reminders …
- On Monday 27 May the Year 10 Urban Challenge parent meeting will be held in the College Hub at 6.00pm.
- The K-12 Combined Schools Mass will be held at the College at 10.00am on Wednesday 29 May.
- Good luck to the students competing in the Touch Football State Cup on Wednesday 29 May and Thursday 30 May.
- The Year 11 Chemistry excursion will take place from Thursday 30 May to Friday 31 May.
- The Year 10 Pastoral Day will be held at the College on Friday 31 May.

HSC Biology Excursion to Canberra Hospital and Mortuary
On Tuesday 21 May the HSC Biology class undertook an excursion to the Canberra Hospital to further their knowledge and witness the application of their coursework in disease.
Our students were treated to a presentation on the control of infectious disease by Dr Karina Kennedy, a tour of the mortuary and the opportunity to examine specimens in the ACT Pathology Museum.
This unique and valuable experience was greatly appreciated by the staff and students, and we extend our sincere thanks to Dr Kennedy (Director of Microbiology) and our hosts for the day, Jess Puniard (Mortuary Supervisor) and Belinda Brooker (Mortuary Assistant).

Vocational Education and Training (VET) News
Working in the world of Vocational Education (VET)
We are proud to offer a broad range of VET courses in the college.
Experiencing the world of work through the Work Placement component of each of our courses enables students to put classroom theory into practice.
Our students have been working in a variety of businesses, and we thank the businesses for their involvement with our college. Students have also been involved in college events that mirror industry standards.
Our Certificate III students in Live Production and Technical Skills (Entertainment) have been involved in major college productions over the last couple of weeks. This course focuses on all backstage processes and the lighting, visuals, and sound aspects of productions. Students were recently involved in the Battle of the Bands and the College DOOF.
Students in our Certificate II Active Volunteering course continue with their visits to Banksia Lodge and volunteering their time in running the Coffee Window at the college.
Our students in Certificate III Sport Coaching have been involved in a broad range of coaching opportunities within our local community and with our local primary schools. These work placement opportunities are invaluable to the organisations they assist in managing sporting teams, umpiring and refereeing and assisting in the running of sporting carnivals.
In addition to these work placement opportunities, our students in Certificate II in Hospitality, Certificate II in Construction Pathways and Certificate III in Business, experience work placement through a one-week block with host employers in our community. We really appreciate their involvement as students are engaged in established businesses.

What’s on at the University of Wollongong

Date: June 4, 2024
Time: 7 pm - 8 pm
Location: Online via Zoom
This session will equip students with the necessary information to make informed decisions regarding subject selection by discussing pre-requisites and assumed knowledge; the ATAR, and the significance of Year 11.
HSC Subject Support Series (Online and In-Person)
UOW wants to support students in the lead up to trial and final HSC exams. In conjunction with InspirationED, experienced HSC teachers/markers and UOW staff, we are running FREE HSC subject revision programs across June and July for current Year 12 students.
This program has been designed to complement and add value to what is already being taught in the classroom. Students can select which subject-specific sessions they want to attend, with both online and in-person options available. Students can attend as many sessions as they wish. The content delivered across the webinars and in-person programs will be different.
Webinar Series: 11 to 18 June
Wollongong campus days: 9 to 12 July

Year 10 Work Experience
Academic Care, Year 10 were introduced to the Work Experience program which is scheduled for Week 9 of this term. Although the program is not compulsory, all students are encouraged to take advantage of this experience. Work Experience (WEX) is a valuable opportunity to gain an insight into real-world work contexts and helps students to plan future study, training and career pathways. WEX is also a great opportunity to build networks for future employment opportunities.
A guide was given to students that includes all the information. The next steps are to identify an industry and business that is of interest and register in the Careers Office to collect the necessary paperwork. If a student has questions about any aspect of Work Experience or needs help with approaching prospective businesses, we urge them to contact the Careers Office.

This scheme is an early offer program through UAC. Once you apply for an SRS application, the school will be notified and a teacher will rate the student on a range of criteria. The SRS application is now part of the undergraduate application. Students will be asked to confirm that their school name is correct. If a student needs to upload their Year 11 results, they will be prompted to do so.
In November you can receive one unconditional offer and one or more conditional offers.

A group of Year 12 students visited the University Canberra Open Day, exploring potential pathways for their academic futures. They engaged in different workshops tailored to their interests. Students explored diverse fields, including teaching, nursing, sport and fitness.
As they navigated through the campus, they enjoyed the vibrant campus life and got a taste for the university community.
