YEAR 7 HANDBOOK 2019
WE HAVE A DREAM. IT IS OUR DREAM THAT STUDENTS WILL EXPERIENCE THEIR CLASSROOMS AS INVIGORATING, INSPIRING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. PLACES THEY CAN LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO AND PLACES THAT THEY HATE TO LEAVE.
It is our dream that they will come to know themselves as masters of their crafts. It is our dream that they will come to love the process of learning itself by making it their own.
St Joseph’s College welcomes all new students and families to the College, and we look forward to an ongoing relationship with you over the coming years.

CHISHOLMChisholm House is named for the woman who has left
a reputation as probably Australia’s most outstanding
female pioneer. Caroline Chisholm (1808-1877) was
the wife of Archibald Chisholm, an officer in the British
army. They decided to come to Australia in 1838 when
Sydney was still a convict town. Caroline was shocked
by what she saw and worked tirelessly using her own
money in welfare work with young female immigrants.
Her remarkable record includes setting up a home for
female immigrants, an employment office, a loan plan
to help bring poor children and families to Australia
and the arrangement of free trips so that families of
convicts could join them. Caroline Chisholm’s face
has appeared on stamps and on a bank note.

MACKILLOPSt Mary MacKillop (1842-1909) also known as Saint Mary
of the Cross was the first Australian Saint. She was
a remarkable Australian woman of great courage,
compassion and resourcefulness who inspired great
dedication to the less fortunate in the new colonies of
Australia. Mary opened the first St Joseph’s College using
a disused stable in Penola, 1866. Many young women
came to join her and so the Congregation of the Sisters
of St Joseph was founded. She also opened orphanages,
providences to care for the homeless and destitute,
and refuges for ex-prisoners. Mary’s legacy has extended
well and truly beyond the beginnings in Penola. Today the
Sisters of St Joseph are working in Australia, New Zealand,
East Timor, Ireland, Peru and Brazil.

MCAULEYCatherine McAuley (1778-1841) was the founder of the
Sisters of Mercy. Catherine was a remarkable Irish woman
who used her own resources to establish Colleges and
nursing services for the poor in Dublin. Her work however,
quickly spread to other parts of Ireland and to the English
speaking world. The first home she built for the poor is
still in use in Baggot Street, Dublin. Sisters of Mercy came
to Western Australia in 1847 and to Victoria in 1857. Today
the Sisters of Mercy work in many places around the world
including Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and Africa.

PADUAThis Italian city near Venice, gained its greatest fame from
St Anthony of Padua (1195-1231). Anthony was born in
Portugal, became a Franciscan priest, travelled throughout
North Africa, France and Italy, preaching and bringing
people back to God. He died in Padua. Many miracles
have been attributed to him and he is specially called
on to find lost property. He was said to be an eloquent
preacher with a loud and clear voice, a winning smile,
a wonderful memory and profound learning.
XAVIERSt Francis Xavier (1506 – 1552) was born in Spain and as a
boy was ambitious and fond of sport, but he had a largeness
of heart and generosity of nature which made him capable
of heroic love and endurance. He met Ignatius of Loyola at
university and became one of the first members of the Society
of Jesus. Francis was sent to India and worked there for many
years. He travelled extensively in that part of the world and in
1549 set out for Japan. He died in 1552 in Macau, vainly seeking
to obtain entrance to China. Wherever he went, he left behind
him a flourishing church which has lasted to the present day.
He is the patron saint of all the missions of the Church.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
MATHS PATHWAY
A CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN THE MERCY TRADITION, ST JOSEPH’S COLLEGE VALUES RELIGIOUS EDUCATION BECAUSE IT GIVES STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT THE CATHOLIC FAITH TRADITION WHILST DISCOVERING HOW THEY CAN EXPRESS, EXPLORE, AND APPLY THEIR FAITH IN A MODERN WORLD.
Religious Education in Years 7 through 12 aims to educate and challenge
students with concepts suited to their level of development. Students learn
about issues of greater complexity and relevance to society alongside the
histories and traditions of Catholicism and other religions. This approach
allows our students to understand other religions and the importance of
religious tolerance.
Besides class activities, homework, and assessments, Religious Education
encourages young people to volunteer in the true compassionate spirit of
the Mercy Tradition that founded St Joseph’s College. Opportunities like
those found in Mercy Works and Project Compassion help to instil a sense of
the meaning of social justice and how we as individuals have a responsibility
to our wider community.
St Joseph’s College welcomes all families to share in Catholic celebrations
throughout the year. In February, we begin the year with our Opening Mass
to welcome new students and families to the College. Later in the year,
the St Joseph’s Feast Day Mass and Mercy Day Mass allow the community
to come together in prayer on two special College days. In November, our
End of Year Mass gives everyone a chance to bid farewell to the graduating
Year 12 students and to give thanks for the year.
St Joseph’s multi-dimensional approach to Religious Education provides
several experiential opportunities for students to develop their spirituality.
With conscientious respect to your family’s faith and beliefs in our multicultural
world, St Joseph’s commits to supporting the Catholic vision. In the Mercy
Tradition, we work to develop the student as a whole person, a compassionate,
intelligent member of the community. Our young men and women will gain
the skills and knowledge they will need to thrive in the world, wherever their
lives lead them.
Maths Pathway uses comprehensive
diagnostic software to determine the current
level of Mathematical understanding. The
program allows students to be working on
skills and concepts that are at their level.
Students will be working on this program
approximately 50% of the time with the
remaining 50% dedicated to targeted
instruction, mini lessons, rich tasks and
projects. This structure has been proven to
increase student level of engagement and
learning in mathematics.
Students grow along a continuum of
mathematical understanding and develop
important real world mathematical and
problem solving skills. We have been very
impressed with the results and individual
progress achieved in 2018.

STUDENT ABSENCE
If a student is going to be absent from
College for any reason, a parent or guardian
must contact the Student Office on
5018 8051 or email studentoffice@sjcmda. vic.edu.au before 9am. After this time an
SMS message will be sent to notify parents/
guardians of an unexplained absence.
FIRST AID
If a student is sick or has been injured, they
are to notify their teacher and report to the
First Aid office for assistance. All reasonable
care will be given to the ill or injured student.
In the event of a student becoming ill during
the day, the first aid officer will notify parents/
guardians and request to arrange for the
student to be taken home. Students are not
to contact their parents/guardians directly.
APPOINTMENTS
If appointments are made in College hours,
a parent/guardian must write a note with the
details to the student’s Homeroom teacher
and a pass will be issued to the student.
Students must sign out at the Student Office
when they leave and when they return.
Whenever possible, it is advisable to make
appointments after College hours.
LOCKERS
A locker is provided for each student in the
College. All Year 7 students will be provided
with a lock for their locker. If a new lock is
required for any reason, it is the responsibility
of the parents/guardians to provide a new
one. Lockers should be kept tidy and locked
at all times. The College is not responsible
for property stored in lockers.
LATE ARRIVALS AND EARLY DEPARTURES
Students arriving late to College (after
morning Homeroom) must report to
the Student Office with a note from their
parent/guardian and receive a late pass.
Students leaving the College premises
must be signed out through the Student
Office. A note signed by a parent/guardian
must be given to the Homeroom teacher
at morning Homeroom.
MONEY, VALUABLES AND MOBILE PHONES
Students should avoid bringing valuables
to College including such things as mobile
phones, skateboards, cameras, and other
electronic devices. The use of mobile
phones at the College can disrupt the
climate in which others learn. Our mobile
phone policy is available on our website.
The College will not take any responsibility
for these items if they are stolen or lost
whilst in the student’s possession. If a
student needs to have a mobile phone or
other valuables for out of College hours,
they may hand them into the Student Office
and collect them at the end of the day.
Large sums of money should not be
brought to the College. Due to privacy laws,
cameras are not to be used at the College
unless permission has been given by a
teacher. Inappropriate use of electronic
items will result in confiscation.
REPORTING AND ASSESSMENTINTERIM REPORTS (MID-SEMESTER) AND SEMESTER REPORTSINTERIM REPORTS PROVIDE PARENTS WITH AN INDICATION OF STUDENT PROGRESS. THE FOCUS IS ON ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR, ACHIEVEMENTS AND ASSESSMENTS. THE REPORTS WILL PROVIDE AN INDICATION OF WORK PRACTICES.
The first Interim Report will be completed early in the term. Parents will
be asked to come into the College to access the Interim Reports from
the Homeroom teacher. This is an opportunity for parents to discuss how
their son/daughter has settled into St Joseph’s College and any concerns
they may have. As the College has a Vertical Homeroom system, this will
be an important step in what should be a lengthy relationship between
yourselves and the Homeroom teacher.
The second Interim Report will be available towards the end of Term 3.
FULL SEMESTER REPORTSOUR SEMESTER REPORTS ARE MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND WILL INCLUDE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT ACHIEVEMENTS, IN PARTICULAR OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT. THESE REPORTS OCCUR AT THE END OF EACH SEMESTER.
For many parents this will provide more than enough information, however,
there are may be times when extra information or an update on student
progress is required. If required, Homeroom teachers can be contacted
via email or phone, and a meeting time organised.
Parents and guardians are able to access information regarding their students
on the PAM area of the St Joseph’s College website. Parents will receive a login
and password to access PAM, which can be found at pam.sjcmda.vic.edu.au
Information such as student attendance, student timetables and student reports
can be viewed on PAM.
