NAPLAN Reports for parents/carers

Printed NAPLAN 2024 individual student reports will be sent to schools at the beginning of Term 3. Upon arrival, they will be distributed to students in Years 7 and 9 to take home to their parents or carers.

Anxiety in Tweens and Teens Webinar

We highly recommend this webinar for any parent/carer whose young person is experiencing signs of school anxiety. It is important to address school anxiety as early as possible, as it can lead to chronic absenteeism, which in turn contributes to social isolation, significant mental health problems, and substantial gaps in learning.

If you are currently trying to manage school anxiety or avoidance, please reach out to the counselling team.

Self Regulation in Teens

Self-regulation is the ability to manage our behaviour and responses to internal feelings and sensations, as well as the events happening around us. Examples include:

• Managing our reactions to strong emotions such as embarrassment, excitement, anger and frustration
• Being able to calm down after something exciting or upsetting occurs
• Behaving in a way that allows us to get along with other people

Self-regulation is an essential life skill, but it is something which often needs long-term support and guidance to master.

Why is it important?

Self-regulation helps with:

• Learning e.g. helps with listening, focusing and processing information
• Managing impulses e.g. taking turns in games, thinking through important decisions
• Social interactions e.g. responding in a calm and respectful way during a disagreement
• Mental health e.g. recognising signs of stress in the body

Social Media Parent Seminar - Challenges and Strategies

Parents and carers are invited to St Augustine's College on Thursday 1 August for an in-depth discussion on the pitfalls of social media for young people and effective parenting strategies.

Languages News

Gastronomy is a significant aspect of Spanish-speaking countries, where flavours, history, colours, and love are shared on a plate. Last week, Year 9 students had the opportunity to sample authentic Mexican street food, experiencing the vibrant culinary culture first-hand. We engaged in a Spanish conversation about various foods, discussing likes and dislikes. This "food lesson" was a great success, with the students showing high levels of enthusiasm and engagement. Ana Gonzalez - Teacher of Spanish

HSIE News

There were sweet treats aplenty last Thursday when our Year 11 Business Studies students conducted their own small business stalls. With offerings like Heavenly Bites, Brookie Bliss, and Mars Bar Munchies, it's no surprise the basketball court was packed with students!

Through engaging in market research, product development, manufacturing, and marketing and sales, our students gained valuable insights into the life of a small business owner. All proceeds were donated to the Good Samaritan Foundation.

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) Tournament Success

Congratulations to Ruby T who came second at the MTG Tournament held last Friday at St Luke's Grammar. Students from Stella, St Luke's, St Augustine's and Knox Grammar competed. Well done to Sienna H, Amelia T and Lucy O for also representing Stella so well.

The students have been training with St Augustine's students after school on Thursday as part of the MTG Club running at Stella during Term 2. Any student interested in joining the club can contact Kylie Andrew - kylie_andrew@stellamaris.nsw.edu.au

MTG is a trading card game which sees two players compete to the defeat their opponent by spending 'mana' to play creatures, spells and other items and abilities.

World Refugee Day - 20 June

On Thursday 20 June, World Refugee Day, four Year 9 students attended a special community conversation with people who are seeking asylum. The students listened to presenters who had a lived experience of being refugees and who had to flee their homelands due to persecution in the hope of finding a safer place to live in freedom and peace. Other presenters had been victims of human trafficking and had found themselves being exploited in slave labour. They had become asylum seekers and are now currently on bridging visas under the category of being a refugee and are waiting in the hope of attaining Australian citizenship in the future.

The Sisters of the Good Samaritan support the Refugee and Asylum Seeker Network and work in partnership with the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Australia. It was a timely excursion for our students to enrich their sense of social justice as part of Refugee Week which ran from 16 - 23 June. Lola O, Guilia M, Ivy V and Emily H were exemplary students and engaged in thoughtful discussion about ways of showing solidarity to come together and raise awareness of the plight of people in these circumstances.

As Ivy V stated:

“It was an eye-opening experience for sure! The way the speakers spoke about the harsh reality of seeking asylum in Australia made it obvious that it was something that they took straight from the truth. It made me realise how difficult it must be for someone to face those challenges of getting visas and how traumatic the whole thing becomes.”

Emily H reported:

“Thank you so much for the opportunity this morning to understand more about the stories of the refugees. … We listened to the perspectives of refugees that had fled to Australia from the Philippines and Sri Lanka. I was saddened by how terrifying their experiences were and the difficult journeys they had made to find safety. I developed a better understanding of the challenges they faced in becoming citizens of Australia and building themselves a new life with employment and housing.”

JRS Visit Stella

Year 9 students had the opportunity to listen to Helen from Iraq who was once a refugee and now works with JRS. Helen shared her story of seeking asylum and her arduous journey to find a safer place to live. It is bittersweet for Helen as she is now living in Australia and is free and safe, however she is isolated from her sister and other family members who are still living in Iraq.

The Year 9 students were exceptionally attentive as they listened to Helen recount her story and they are to be commended for paying her such respectful focus.

Our Year 9 students are wanting to put words into action and find ways of showing support for people who are refugees and seeking asylum.

Year 9 are asking the Stella Maris community to please contribute to the following drives:

Join the Winter Blanket Drive

Please donate to the MAD Social Justice Club:

• New blankets
• Sleeping bags
• Air mattresses

These items will benefit several JRS clients who are experiencing homelessness and have limited options for heating due to the cost-of-living crisis.

Please help spread the warmth this winter

In addition, if you can bring in canned goods such as vegetables/ legumes or pasta items for the JRS Foodbank Drive that would also go a long way in helping JRS clients access food to stay healthy and well, especially so in these colder months.

All students are encouraged to participate in the JRS Writing and Artwork competition to raise awareness in the wider community about the plight of refugees and asylum seekers. Please see the attached flyer and send in submissions to Ms Metcalfe by 18 July, 2024.

Winter Concert Series

Drama Night

On Monday night both Professor Thespian and I (Professor Impersonator) had the pleasure of hosting and performing in the Semester 1 2024 Drama Night. A completely star-studded line up of students from Years 7-12 mesmerised the audience as they took to the stage with spectacular energy and spirit.

The curtains opened on our very own school captain Sami W performing a remarkable HSC monologue as the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. We were then taken to the edge of our seats by the Year 7 drama ensemble performing a gripping original piece named On the Inside, creating a spin on your classic fairy tales. Year 10 students, Sophie D and Stella D took to the stage enchanting us with a ‘soulful’ realism piece from the Australian play Away. Lily B then took us on a roller coaster of emotions when performing her HSC monologue of BoJack Horseman’s eulogy to his mother. And after some... ethically dubious thinking in the lab, we have concluded that she definitely didn’t horse around!

Following Lily, we were engrossed in the perspective-changing story that the Year 8 ensemble performed, titled Women’s Rights that stood up for women everywhere. Following the Year 8s, another duologue was performed by Keira M and Lucy O from the play Away. Their insight into the characters was amazing. A personal highlight was the Year 11 performance of Exodus which put a spin onto the well-known original bible classic Moses and the burning bush creating a humorous masterpiece.

Lastly, the Senior drama ensemble graced the audience with their presence performing a piece titled, Harry Potter, Hogwarts and All. The parody followed the first book in the series bringing lots of laughs and joy to the audience.

It was an honour to perform alongside these talented students, and as Theatrical Professors, we can’t wait to see which experiments come next!

Celebration of Dance

Last week all dance students performed in the Semester 1 ”Celebration of Dance” showcase and what a fabulous night it was! All dance students from Years 7-12 performed in two shows with only a 20 minute break between, and I have never been more proud. From beginners to the elite, this really was the show that had it all.

Every student involved gave more than 100% and had such a wonderful time. The smiles on their faces, and the energy exuded on stage, was a clear display of how much these girls love to dance. The showcase included the Performance Groups, Ensembles, Company, Extension Company, Years 9-11 Elective Dance, HSC Dance pieces, Year 10 compositions, student choreography, and solo items. Many styles were on show including Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Commercial Contemporary, Commercial Jazz, and Traditional Contemporary.

This was also the last dance showcase for the Year 12 Dancers. A special farewell tribute was given to these girls at the end of the show. Most of the Year 12 dancers have been dancing at Stella Maris for their entire secondary school life and it is always so heart breaking to see them go. The Year 12 dancers of 2024 included the School Captain, Vice Captains, and Performing/Creative Arts Prefect. Having these leadership girls amongst the dance community is a reflection of the influence dance can have on the girls' confidence and drive. Farewell Year 12 Dancers: Holly B, Matilda C, Roisin C, Ella D, Poppy H (School Vice-Captain), Melanie L, Catherine L, Eloise P, Isabella P (School Vice-Captain), Vianney S (Performing Arts Prefect), and Samantha W (School Captain).

If you missed this show make sure you come along to the Semester 2 “Celebration of Dance” in November. You will not be disappointed!

Showcase of Music

Last night's 'Showcase of Music' was incredible, with many audience members saying it was "the best one yet". Throughout the night, many students performed, from solo artists, to groups, to the elective music classes, vocal ensemble and bands.

To open, the Performance Band played an amazing set of songs, Irish Holiday, and a Coldplay Medley. Later in the evening, the vocal ensemble sang wonderfully as they performed Bubbly and Breaking Up is Hard to Do. Then the contemporary band added a pop twist, performing a fun rendition of “Since U Been Gone”. The Jazz band kept the energy high with a mashup of “Seven Nation Army”, “Sweet Dreams” and “Titanium”. The Percussion Ensemble then performed a vibrant and rhythmic piece, “Rumble in the Jungle”. All these ensembles demonstrated the amazing talent across all years. There were also many amazing small group and solo items ranging from pop, to jazz and even some opera.

Performances by the Year 9, 10, and 11 elective music classes demonstrated the depth of young talent, with each class presenting well-rehearsed and engaging pieces.

A huge thank you to Y11 Entertainment Industry class, Music students and staff, their dedication and hard work provided an evening of entertainment and fun for all.

“Chicago” Excursion

The Year 9, 200 Hours Elective Dance class, along with the Year 10, 200 Hours Elective Dance class, were treated to a very glamorous excursion to see “Chicago” the musical at the glorious Capitol Theatre. Year 9 Elective Dance have been studying Popular Dance and Dance on Screen which made this the perfect excursion for them to see Musical Theatre performed live. A comparison between the live show and “Chicago” the movie offered many insights into the power of stage and screen. Simply sitting in the ornate theatre was an exquisite experience, let alone the amazing talent on display from the cast. All of the students had a wonderful time and gained a better understanding of theatre etiquette, professional dance requirements/careers, the use of sets/lighting/costuming, and the collaborative nature between musicians, actors, singers and dancers needed for musicals. It was a wonderful experience for all.

Competitions

The Stella dancers have been busy over a couple of weekends with some of our best results to date! This was also the last competitions for the Year 12 students who finish dance to focus on their studies for HSC. It was an emotional weekend!

At Extreme Eisteddfod Senior Extension groups competed and took out 1^st Place in three genres – Contemporary, Lyrical & Jazz! This was a huge improvement from their first competition two weeks prior, and a fantastic result winning against schools like PLC, Brigidine, Oxford Falls, and Freshwater High to name a few.

The Junior Company, Ensembles, and Ext Hip Hop Company also placed in three genres. This was the Junior groups' first competition of the year and routines had only just been finished. I can’t wait to see their improvement over the season.

All students represented Stella Maris proudly, and respectfully, showing support of all other schools and good sportsmanship, by cheering other schools on and congratulating them on their performances. I am extremely proud of their conduct.

Hockey

Congratulations to the Stella Hockey team who are the Mollie Dive Hockey Premiers for 2024!

The Stella team had an amazing season and went through the competition undefeated! The grand final was held on Wednesday 20 June at Ku-ring-gai Hockey Centre against Marist/Willoughby – a team made up of players from Marist College North Shore and Willoughby Girls. It was a very close game, with Stella on the attack and taking plenty of shots on goal. The Marist Willoughby team did very well to stop us scoring and the game finished with a 0 – 0 draw, making the two teams joint premiers. Well done to the Stella team who also took home the minor premiership.

It was a great result for our first Stella hockey team to have such an amazing season. They are a talented team who improved so much over the competition. A big thank you to our coach, Chloe, who was such a fantastic coach for the team. Well done to all members of the Stella team:

Ella B, Jade B, Zara B, Bonnie B, Jamie B, Remy C, Femke E, Emily K, Hannah L, Emily M, Georgia M, Abbey M, Pilard S, Isla S, Kara T, Adelaide Y.

Soccer

It has been a very busy term for out representative soccer teams. We have had a great deal of success with all of our rep teams, winning all divisions of the Broken Bay Championship and we are now down to the final 16 teams of the Bill Turner Trophy.

Last week the Stella Junior and Open teams played in the CCC knockout against Loreto Kirribilli. The Stella teams were hit hard with a number of injuries and illness, but we were able to have two smaller teams to play on the day. Both games were very close, with the junior team drawn at full time. The game went into a penalty shoot out, which we were very unlucky to lose. The senior team played well all game, but were narrowly defeated by a strong Loreto team. Well done to both teams.

The Bill Turner Cup team has continued on their winning streak, with a great win against William Clarke College in their region final. The William Clarke team took a 1 – 0 lead early in the game, but the Stella team fought back to have a great 2 -1 win. This moves our team into the final 16 of the competition. There are more than 400 teams from Queensland, NSW, ACT and Victoria in this competition, so to make it to the final 16 is a huge achievement!

Stella will now face either Westfields Sports or Endeavour Sports High in the round of 16 early next term. Well done to all members of the teams.

Basketball

The Semester 1 basketball competition is coming to an end, with our grand finals being held this week. All of the Stella teams have enjoyed the season. Well done to the teams that qualified for the semi finals and congratulations to the three Stella teams who made the grand finals: Year 7 green, Year 9 red and Year 12 red. The Year 7 team was very unlucky to lose by just two points in a very exciting grand final. Year 9 and 12 grand finals will be held later this week.

A reminder to any student who would like to play basketball in Semester 2 that registrations close tomorrow.

Netball

The Peninsula Cup Netball competition finished this week with the grand finals being held on Tuesday 25 June. All of the Stella teams had a great season, with three of the teams making it all the way to the grand finals. Well done to the Junior Red and Pink teams and the Senior Purple team who played in the grand finals against Oxford Falls, Pittwater House and Northern Beaches Christian School. All of the teams played extremely well!

Congratulations also goes to Sophie B, Lily H and Summer B who represented Stella at the Broken Bay U18 trials this week.

A big thank you to the Stella girls who umpired at the Northern Beaches Catholic Primary Schools Netball Gala Days on 18 and 25 June at Curl Curl. Stella provided over 50 umpires across the two days. All of the students did a fantastic job, not only umpiring, but assisting the young students in learning and enjoying the game of netball. They are all to be congratulated on the way they represented Stella at both of these events.

Rugby 7s

Congratulations to Grace F and Lara M who were selected into the NSWCCC Rugby 7s teams. Grace has been selected into the open team and Lara into the U16 team. They will both play at the NSW All Schools Rugby 7s Championships on June 26 and 27. Good luck Grace and Lara!

Athletics

It has taken us to almost the end of term to finalise the Stella Athletics Carnival. Due to wet weather and unavailability of local facilities, we had to hold our throws events at Keirle Park on Thursday 20 June. We had a great group of talented athletes come along to compete in the throws events, and there was even two records broken by Elisabeth P in the 16 years javelin and discus!

Congratulations to all of the students who competed. We will be finalising our Athletics Carnival results and presenting awards at assembly in Term 3.

The Stella athletics squad will commence training and carnivals at the start of Term 3.

Training will be held on Tuesday mornings (throws) at Keirle Park and Wednesday mornings (sprints/distance) at Manly Oval.
