Term 3 has now finished and on Wednesday the College Community had the pleasure of farewelling Year 12 students with their families at the 2018 Graduation Mass and Assembly.
Year 12
The Graduating Class of 2018 has been an absolute pleasure to work during my time at the College. The student body has been led by Elodie de Rover and Matthew Klarica who have raised the bar in student leadership, embracing the gift that they have been given by God. Both of these outstanding young leaders were clear on their vision for students at the College and how we can support them better. They have had a sharp focus on how we can all better ourselves and make a positive impact on the world around us. Never afraid to speak their minds I have appreciated their honesty, sense of humour, integrity and passion to stand for what is right. Elodie has had many successes as an outstanding public speaker and advocates for injustices that are present in our communities and the rest of the world. Matthew has led students with his skills in performing arts, his strong sense and openness of faith and his quiet and reflective nature.
Elodie and Matthew have been supported by two strong Vice Captains, Lavinia Stokes and Riley O’Shannessey. Vice Captains operate in the background to support the Captains and their work and are not in the spotlight. I would like to recognise their contributions to the College. Riley is an outstanding sportsman at the highest level and positive role model for students, particularly boys. He is level-headed under pressure and is involved in all aspects of life at the College.
Lavinia has been a quiet achiever. Her role in making a difference to the College environment and that of the wide Eurobodalla Shire has been immense. She has been an active driver behind the success of the CCB Greenies and other fundraising initiatives at the College, particularly this year's Valentine's day fundraiser. Lavinia has set a very high standard for the students who will continue the CCB Greenies group. Both Lavinia and Riley are outstanding young leaders and I wish them success in their futures.
I thank all the Parents, siblings, Grandparents and extended members of the family who were able to come along and support Year 12 students yesterday. It is a largely emotional day for them and it does not sink in for a couple of days that their schooling has concluded and their final exams are fast approaching.
A number of College awards were given out at the assembly recognising the high achievements of Year 12, including various sporting awards. There are still a number of sporting awards due to be presented at the end of year awards assembly as the winners of these are in Years 7 to 11, particularly Female Sports Champion awards.
Carroll College Community Council
The Term 3 Community Council meeting took place last Wednesday evening at the College. On behalf of the Council, I would like to invite more parents to join the group. The Community Council is an advisory body that provides strategic direction and support for the College. Although it has a fundraising arm, this is not its sole purpose.
The current members of the Community Council are Louise Roser, Rhonda Forner, Fr Martins, Fr Dominic, Amanda Avery-Jones, Belinda Quick, Angela Rankin, Tim Hodges, Brigid McNeill and Paul Penberthy.
The Council meets twice per term and discusses ongoing projects at the College. The Council is currently helping the College form its Annual Improvement Plan with the targets next year based around:
- Parent Involvement in the College
- Faith Formation
- The use of data to drive improvement.
For the College to continue to improve we would like to see more members of the Community join the Council to give proactive and positive input which will benefit all students. If you are interested in joining the Community Council please contact me at the College and I will put your nomination forward to the Council.
The use of electronic devices was discussed at great length during the last meeting. It was felt that students spend too much time on their devices, a view supported by the College. As a result of this feedback, the College will no longer exclusively use online resources and will return to physical textbooks to support student learning in 2019.
Purchasing full sets of student textbooks would usually cost Parents in excess of $400 per student per year for subjects. The Community Council has approved a levy of $50 for each student per year to allow the College to purchase class sets to which will remain at the College and reducing the cost of texts for Parents. Students will be still able to take photos of work required for homework. The Community Council and the College are interested in feedback on this proposal from Parents, if you have any feedback please email me directly at the College and I can put it forward to the Council at the next meeting.
Adam Porteous and Sharan Callender
I wish to acknowledge two members of the Carroll Community who have stepped down from the Council, Adam Porteous and Sharan Callender. Adam and Sharan are both fantastic supporters of the College. Their input into the strategic direction of the College and improvement of the facilities for students will benefit future generations. On behalf of the Carroll College community, I thank Adam and Sharan for their honesty, integrity and hard work over the years, many students will benefit as a result of the time they have put into the College.
Parent and Student Surveys
The College recently received the feedback from the Parent, Student and Staff surveys. The results of these surveys are used to help form the Annual Improvement Plan the College. The return rate on the Parent Survey was very good at 43% (158 out of 370 families) and Student responses at 29%. The survey highlighted many of the things that the College is doing well as well as areas for improvement. Thank you to all of those who completed the surveys, their honest feedback and suggested improvements. A summary of main points are listed below:
Students and Parents have indicated that:
- Students feel safe
- Learning is engaging
- People feel welcome at the school
- Expectations are high
Students and Parents have highlighted areas below that are in need of development at the College.
- Communication with parents
- Improvement of some College facilities
- Use of SENTRAL
- Academic Reporting
- Return of phone calls and emails
- Time allocated to Parent-Teacher interviews
- Too much time on electronic devices
- Bullying
- Understanding the role and effectiveness of the Community Council
- Being aware of school targets
All of these main areas that were highlighted as well as other comments will be discussed at upcoming Community Council meetings with action plans how to address these being formed. Parents are welcome to come along and join the group.
Drought Assistance
The College is currently supporting two drought initiatives to help support the state’s farmers.
The first is the partnership with St Bernards and St Mary’s in offering a billeted system for students and their families in the country to come down and stay on the coast on the weekend of the 24th November 2018. The letter will also be emailed home today. It would be great to support those who are doing it very tough in the country at the moment. The weekend would begin with a BBQ at the College on Friday 23rd November as a small social gathering and to allow families and their billets to go from there.
The second is the College working in partnership with Eurobodalla Council and other community groups in putting together a charity ‘Eurobodalla Rain Dance’ held on Friday 23rd November held at the Golf Clubs in Batemans Bay, Narooma and Moruya. The evening is a night of live music, food, auctions and raffles. Money raised will be used to help the community in the Cobar Shire. If you are able to donate some items for the charity auction through businesses please contact me at the College and I will put you in touch with the correct people on the committee. Tables will be available for groups to book at a later date which I will publish.
Have a safe holiday and break. School begins back on Monday 15th October 2018 for all staff and students.

Assistant Principal Pastoral Care Report
Dear Parents,
With the holidays almost upon us, it is an ideal time to reflect on what we, as a College Community have achieved this term.
One of the many ways we acknowledge and celebrate success is through our College Facebook page. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to have a look at our page, which highlights our many student achievements and reports on events throughout the year. Recently some of our posts have included:
- A report on on Mr Cullen’s Humanities Class who have established a pen pal exchange with students in Nepal through the ASHA Foundation.
- A repost from the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Sport report outlining the achievements of some of our College Athletes at CCC level. These students were Angus Lyons, Shayne Hargraves, JC Lole Ngarima, Josh Cairney and Jack Grant.
- A series of great photographs chronicling the recent Year Twelve Graduation Mass and Awards Ceremony.
- A report on the Ancient History classes who recently travelled to Canberra to take in the Rome - City and Empire Exhibition.
- An acknowledgement of one of our valued staff members - Mrs Michele Katuke who recently received a Catholic Education Recognition Award for her demonstrated exemplary service and dedication to the Indigenous students at Carroll College. Congratulations Michele!
- A post that outlines the Gurubangamba Indigenous Mentoring Programme. Students from Carroll College recently applied for, and, received a grant through the AIME Programme to assist primary aged students with their transition into high school.
- A sport report on the students who recently travelled to Canberra to participate in the Brumbies High School Sevens Competition.
These posts offer a brief snapshot of life at Carroll College and have all been posted within the past two weeks. They affirm the work of our staff in providing a rich and varied experience for our students. There is something for everyone at Carroll College and we encourage our students to actively participate in the life of the school.
If you haven't already done so,I encourage you to head on over to our page and give us a follow.

Uniform News
Term Four sees our students make the transition to their summer uniforms. Could I ask that if you have a daughter in the junior school that you check the length of the dress as undoubtedly some growth has occurred over the winter months. In line with the current policy, dress length should be no more than four centimetres above the knee. Junior boys should have the regulation white shirts and grey midford shorts.
Our current uniform policy can be found on the College Website. If you need any clarification, please follow the link below:

Plenary Council Excursion
On the 4th of September four students from Carroll College were afforded the opportunity to participate in the Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulbourn 2020 Plenary Council meeting. On this day we had the privilege to participate in a Question and Answer panel with Archbishop Christopher Prowse, create artworks from a variety of mediums, make friends with students from other schools and be involved in meaningful conversation with our peers. Throughout the day we had the chance to voice our opinions and respond to the question ‘What do you believe God is asking of you at this time in Australia?’
The CCB students in attendance made the following comments:
Sienna Klarica, Year 7 - The plenary Council session was a lot of fun. I found it was helpful because I could express my thoughts and share them with other students from various schools in the Archdiocese. My highlight for the day was seeing everyone present and explain their drawing, sculptures, songs, raps and poems about their belief in God and what He is asking of us at this time.
Claire Mass, Year 7 - The Plenary Council was a really good experience because there are so many people like me who have a strong faith. It also gave us a chance to share our opinion and have our voices heard. My highlight was talking to Archbishop Christopher and hearing his response.
Seagar Dotter, Year 10 - I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found the whole programme spiritually enlightening. I hope in the future to be able to further share this experience with other young Catholics who are the future of our society. My personal highlights for the day were both meeting the Archbishop and indulging in a conversation with His Grace. A special thanks to both Mrs Nicoletti for organising the day and Mr McAteer for volunteering his time to drive us to Canberra.
My personal highlight from the day was hearing other likeminded students from the Archdiocese, hearing their perspectives and gaining a better understanding of what they see as they challenges of the Church. It was also a highlight asking questions to the Archbishop and listening to his insight.

Year 9/10 Commerce - Parliament House Excursion
The Year 9/10 Commerce Excursion to the Parliament House on September 11, 2018 was definitely one to remember. We piled onto the Carroll College bus at 6am and arrived at 9am. A spectacular building, topped with a flag holder, raising the Australian flag, proud and free. Every material used to build it was from all over Australia and both The House of Representatives and Senate were themed with colours of Australian flora. We had the opportunity to role play the Senate and discuss the No Homework Bill (which was passed of course!). We spent half an hour watching matters being discussed which was admittedly a bit boring. However we weren’t feeling the boredom for long when we entered the infamous Question Time. The people running our proud country behaved like animals. It was both amusing and concerning that people like that were in charge. Three people were exited from the house and the shadow party provoked some 'Sco Mo' shouts! Overall, we had a fantastic day, learning about the makeup of the Parliament, our leaders (past and present), how the senate works and the chaos that is Question Time.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Parliament House with our Commerce class, Mr Sutton and Mrs Knight. We began the day with a guided tour around Parliament House. It was an interesting and engaging inside look inside our Parliament House. Everbody say 'Wow!' was the favourite 'catchcry' of our Danish Guide. We then experienced an hour long educational program which invoved a role play of the Senate. We learnt a lot about the different roles in Parliament and had a lot of fun. We then sat in as the House of Representatives as they discussed the passing of bills. The final event of the day was Question Time. We saw many different politicians speak including our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison. It was quite rowdy and loud,but very interesting. Overall, it was a lovely day and I’m very glad I got the opportunity to go.
Damia
Our excursion to Parliament House was one the best educational excursions I have been on. I have been to Parliament House on an excursion before, but this was was definitely better. It gave me more of an insight into how Parliament works. The tour was quite good but the best part was when we got to experience Question Time. It was completely different to what I had thought it would be like and it was very interesting. Overall, this excursion was definitely so worth the time.
Sarah
Last week, myself and our Commerce Class had a truly enlightening experience-
being given the opportunity to attend and learn about many aspects of Australian politics, including issues that our Australian government faces today. The entire trip was a blast from the initial tour of the Parliament House to the debate role play we had nearing the end of our excursion. We were also given the opportunity to attend Question Time where we saw many political figures. We heard the various arguments they all had about certain issues, like the Liberal party choosing a New Prime Minister. No more Malcolm Turnbull. We also got a chance to sit in the Senate which was a large red room where they decide whether or not to allow a bill to pass. It was a blast!
Ignatius
My amazing Commerce 9/10 trip was a fabulous time with my friends Jade and Jadyn. We went to the Braidwood Bakery twice. All the boys wanted to go to Maccas but you know we didn’t….. Oh well. The definite highlight of the trip was Question Time. It was funny seeing all the Ministers including the very new Prime Minister, Scott Morrison and the Opposition leader, Bill Shorten. The Parliament recignised and remembered the September bombings in the US and talked about passing a family violence bill. Thank you Mrs Knight and Mr Sutton for taking us to Parliament House!
Eliza
I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion to Canberra as I learnt about the Parliament in more depth. I enjoyed the bus trip up and down. Question time was the really entertaining part of the day. All together I really enjoyed this excursion because I feel our class became a bit closer and I learnt a lot about the workings of the Australian Parliament.
Shayne
I enjoyed almost everything about Parliament House. My favourite part was Question Time. I found this educational and it informed me on how the Government actually works.

Being Grateful…
When the literary character Robinson Crusoe was stranded on a deserted island, he had the choice of either falling into despondency or seeking ways to make the best of a bad situation. The lost mariner chose to look around and find those things for which he should be grateful. There was an abundance of food, it was a paradise and his health was good. Crusoe is a touchstone for this much under-valued human action of being grateful for things. Gratitude has many benefits that I wish to share with you.
Gratitude instantly improves our mood because at that moment we are “outside ourselves” not looking inwards but outward to the world that has done something to make us feel better. It is so easy to concentrate on the bad things that happen in our lives that it is easy to lose perspective. The world is a good place and gratitude is the manifestation of that belief.
Expressions of gratitude reduce depressive symptoms by 35% according to research. It strengthens our emotions, reduces feelings of jealousy and helps make our memories of events and situations happier. Gratitude or gratefulness makes us more optimistic so that’s good, isn’t it?
This aspect of envy that I alluded to earlier is significant. While there is nothing wrong with wanting more for ourselves but consumerism or materialism is based on the idea that others have more than us and that we are not worthy unless we make lots of money, look good or have thousands of friends (virtual?) Gratitude allows us to see that we have enough, that our own self-esteem and happiness does not have to be based on competing with others.
Happiness is largely the result of the kindness of others; not always but it can be safely said that man is a social animal and gratitude explodes the myth that we are self-sufficient and that being grateful is a sign of weakness. We often find it hard to say something positive about ourselves for fear of being narcissistic but gratefulness, in the home and staffroom is a powerful tool for instituting change and building strong bonds.
All major religions ascribe singular importance to this virtue. Whatever our view of God, gratitude gives us pause to reflect on the fact that we are an individual is a vast cosmos and that chance, according to the writer David Guterson, rules every corner of the universe, “with the exception of the chambers of the human heart”.
In summary, here are a few practical strategies to consider:
- Keep some kind of gratitude Journal noting just one or two positive things in your day
- Identifying a negative environment with a positive trait
- Give someone a compliment per day and see what happens
- Vow not to gossip, complain criticise for a week. You will find a great deal of energy is expended on negative thoughts.
- Many internet sites have practical guides and exercises. These include Red Stamp, The Gratitude Jar, Grateful: A Gratitude Journal and Gratitude Revealed. The opening of Tim Winton’s masterpiece Cloudstreet says it all:
“Will you look at us by the river! The whole restless mob of us on spread blankets in the dreamy briny sunshine skylarking and chiacking about for one day, one clear, clean, sweet day in the midst of our living…”

Families with outstanding fees will be progressively contacted commencing Term 3 and will continue during Term 4 to confirm the amount of school fees outstanding and the payments or payment plan to address those fees. Families paying by direct debit with outstanding fees will be also contacted during this period to arrange for their payments to be changed in line with the fee schedule and outstanding fees (where applicable). Families on fee arrangements will also be contacted progressively during Term 4 to confirm, update or modify existing arrangements.
Families with students in Year 12 are expected to have made their final payment of Year 12 school fees (including any outstanding school fees) by the end of Term 3, unless some payment arrangement is already in place with the College. These fees still remain outstanding if not paid in full by the end of the year.
The aim is to ensure that families are aware of their school fees owing each term and outstanding school fees (where applicable). It is important for families with outstanding fees to develop a better understanding of their school fee obligations and proactively meet these obligations. As part of this process, it is important for families to also advise the College where there are changes in family circumstances and responsibility for the payment of school fees. Any change of circumstance must be signed by both parties and provided to the College in a timely manner before it can be processed. For example, 12 months after a change in circumstances is not timely.
Commencing 1st October 2018, the school will begin to charge administrative fees relating to late term fee payment or overdue school fee payment fee (unless a fee payment arrangement is already in place with the College) and an administrative fee associated with every Direct Debit or Bpoint payment that is rejected. Families on a fee payment arrangement must abide by that arrangement or they may also be subject to administrative fees. These fees are being implemented to cover additional work required to follow up outstanding school fees. Where school fees are paid on time per term or per fee payment arrangement – no fee is applicable. Where a direct debit or Bpoint payment is successful – no fee is applicable.
In the event of students not participating in an excursion or extracurricular activity that has already been prepaid, this money will be used as payment towards outstanding school fees. Where school fees are up to date, a refund will be provided to the family.
It is recognised that families make choices and priorities in regards to their standard of living, investments, education, extra-curricular and leisure activities. The school considers that families who have chosen a Catholic Education consider it important and that fee payments will be prioritised accordingly as is outlined in the Parent Charter.
The school offers a variety of payment methods including Qkr, BPAY, Direct Debit, Visa, Mastercard, EFTPOS, Cheque and Cash. It is the responsibility of families to monitor fee statements and payments, including Direct Debits, to ensure that their payments are in line with current fee schedules or have been adjusted to cover outstanding fees.
It can be quite easy to fall behind on your fee payments which can then result in significant outstanding fees. Where families have not attempted to contact the School to address outstanding fees, full fees are payable. Where families decide to enrol their child at another school but still have outstanding fees, these fees remain outstanding. In the event of continuing outstanding fees and lack of payment or non-payment, the school will pursue the outstanding fees through a debt collection agency which is standard practice.
Families who are experiencing financial hardship need to contact the Business Manager at their earliest opportunity and request an Application for Reduction of Fees. These applications are assessed on a case by case basis and applications must have the relevant supporting documentation as outlined on the form. If an application is successful, then a regular payment plan will be put into place to manage the payment of school fees at a reduced rate. If unsuccessful, then school fees and payments will be applicable as per Fee Schedules and Statements.
Should you require further information about fees, payments or reduction of fee applications - please contact the new Business Manager, Rhonda Forner on phone 4471 5600 or email rhonda.forner@cg.catholic.edu.au to discuss at your earliest convenience.
Year 12 Outdoor Kitchen Update
Due to the refurbishment of the Staff Centre and the relocation of the Staff Kitchen to the Restaurant, the associated outdoor Year 12 Kitchen now forms part of this interim arrangement as it provides hot water for staff. The outdoor Kitchen is therefore out of bounds to all students and will no longer be available for the Year 11 Students about to become the next Year 12 Student cohort.
As an interim measure during the refurbishment and construction of the Staff Centre, the Year 11 Student’s who have been elected to the SLT will be part of a special Year 12 Canteen Roster to provide access to Year 12 students only, requiring hot water or food heated in a microwave. Those SLT students will serve Year 12 students only via a dedicated Year 12 line at the Canteen which is expected to run for the first 10 minutes of AM Break and PM Break. If no SLT students attend on their roster, then Year 12 students will not be able to access hot water or microwave as Canteen Staff will be operating as per usual routine.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Year 12 students have been advised that all outstanding resources are to be returned within 7 days of their final exam or they are then payable to the College to recoup the cost of replacing these.
The students have been given a list of all current outstanding resources. We Thank you for your help in following up the return of these valuable resources so they can used by our incoming Year 12 students.
