Principal's Message

Dear Parents, Students and Staff,

Advent and Christmas: My Presentation Day speech this year focused on Joy, which is also the focus for the third week of Advent. As we conclude our year, which at many times has tested us, we also take time to acknowledge, with joyous and grateful hearts, the many blessings we have received. I truly feel blessed to attend work each day. It is a place of excellence, a place of love, and a place of joy, and I do not take for granted for a moment how blessed I am to work here. This is due largely to the amazing community we have. So thank you, to the entire Xavier Community, for creating the College that we have. Best wishes for a safe and joyous holiday. 

Outstanding HSC results: Having worked so hard through their HSC trial examinations and pushing through diligently with all their assessments, our HSC candidates have been rewarded with some wonderful results this year. They were challenged all the way and could easily have settled for less than best. But under the guidance of our wonderful teaching staff, they held strong. And so, far from lowering their expectations and that of their teachers, our outstanding Year 12 cohort has far exceeded any results they could have imagined. I am pleased and proud to announce the following results as just a brief example of their outstanding achievements:

• Grace Kennedy: Top Achiever in Course, English Extension 1 (Ms Natalie Sinclair). Grace placed 6th in NSW
• Zoe Lucas: Top Achiever Indonesian Continuers (studied via Southern Cross School of Distance Education). Zoe placed 4th in NSW
• HSC All-Rounders: the below students earned Band 6 results in at least 5 courses:

• • Landon Broadley
  • Mia Viel
  • Sienna Moore

Overall, the College had 89 entries on the Distinguished Achievers list, celebrating those students who earned Band 6 in one or more courses. In addition, over 60% of ALL results were either Band 5 or Band 6, which is simply outstanding.

2024 School Annual Improvement Plan (SAIP): The process for developing the next Annual Improvement Plan has been going well. It is our intention to send a mail-out — yes, old-fashioned snail mail — to all families with some important documents that you can place on the fridge for ready-reckoning. One of those will be our School Annual Improvement Plan in parent-friendly language. This will be a short summary for you all to think about over the coming holidays:

• Mission of Jesus Christ: We aim for both staff and students to embrace and embody our Ignatian values through teaching methods, staff development, prayer, and community service.
• Catholic Leadership: We're committed to fostering open communication and partnerships among everyone in our school community, including parents and the wider community, to support students' learning and well-being.
• Pastoral Care: We’re committed to working with parents, students, and staff to create a thoughtful program focused on boosting student resilience and well-being. The Resilience Project will form a large part of this.
• Learning & Teaching: We’re committed to introducing clear teaching methods throughout the school to help Year 7, 8, and 9 students improve their reading and writing abilities, ensuring visible growth in these skills.
• Family, School & Community Partnerships: We will develop a school calendar that involves parents from every grade in community discussions and activities to strengthen our partnership with families.

Staff Farewells: As is the case at the end of most years, we will say goodbye and thank you to some short-term contract staff as well as, sadly, some longer-serving staff for a variety of reasons. This year is no different, and we wish all the best to the following staff leaving us at the end of this year.

• Ms Louise Weir: taking 2024 off from teaching
• Ms Taiya Crosse: end of traineeship
• Ms Maya Parker and Ms Kirra Harris: end of contract for Mission Assistants
• Mr Joe Knott: end of contract appointment
• Mr Russell Asser: end of contract appointment
• Mrs Kathleen McLennan: end of contract appointment
• Mr James Gordon: moving to employment in Department Of Education
• Mr Graham Black: taking a year away on temporary transfer to St John’s College Woodlawn
• Mrs Mary Briggs: retiring after a period of illness
• Ms Jess Fouliard: end of contract appointment
• Mrs Sandra Conomos: end of contract appointment, returning to Department of Education

Another 2 staff members will be taking a short period of leave during Term 1 next year and are expected to return in Term 2. We wish Mrs Karen Brown and Mr Mark Lee all the best during Term 1 2024 and look forward to welcoming them back to the College on their return.

And, finally, I wish you all a wonderful happy and holy Christmas break and look forward to seeing you all again in 2024.

God Bless,

Mr Kevin Lewis
Principal

Assistant Principal: Learning & Teaching

As the school year draws to a close, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the many stakeholders in our community.

• To our students. You are at the centre of everything we do at the College and the reason staff attend work each day. Thank you for your thinking and questioning, your creativity and enthusiasm, and your good manners and kindness.
• To our parents and guardians. Thank you for working in partnership with the school to provide positive outcomes for the young people that we care so much about. We cannot do our work effectively without your support.
• To our staff. I am very proud and grateful to work with hard-working and skilled colleagues. Teaching is a very demanding profession, requiring a broad skill set and specific expertise. Thank you for your dedication and giving of yourself so generously.
• To the local community. Jesuit education asks us to begin with understanding our context. Our students are drawn from a variety of local communities, and we value this rich and diverse network.

The 2023 College theme has been ‘better together’. I truly believe that when we live and work in community, we are vastly strengthened and enriched through respectful collaboration and diversity. Students, parents, staff and the community are inextricably linked, and one area cannot thrive without the support of the others.  While we have inevitably had our ups and downs this year, I can state with confidence that we have worked together and diligently to provide the best care and education possible for our students.  We believe in the work we do.  We believe in our students.

I wish you the peace, joy, and blessings of the festive season.  

HSC Results

I am proud to share the HSC achievements of the Class of 2023.

As we celebrate the accomplishments of our students today, we also want to acknowledge the individual behind the results. Every result you see below is a testament to the diligence, commitment, and dedication each student has shown since they first became a student at Xavier Catholic College. Throughout their time at the College, our students have discovered their unique talents, pursued their passions, and taken the first steps on their life journey. We are so proud of our students, and we pray for each of them as they embrace their post-school life — whether that’s pursuing further study, joining the workforce, or forging their own path with any number of adventures. We know they will change the world for the better in all they do.  

Our thanks to the teaching and support staff who have guided our students in their learning, and our special thanks to our College families for their support, both at school and at home.

The Triumphant Return of Parish Schools Day

This year saw the revival of several beloved Xavier Catholic College events, and one that stood out was the return of Parish Schools Day. Absent from our school calendar since 2019, this important community event brought together Saint Francis Xavier Primary, Holy Family Primary, and Xavier Catholic College. The festive atmosphere created a carnival-like experience that was enjoyed by all. Mother Nature played her part, surprising us with a morning of wet weather threats, only to transform into scorching heat by the afternoon. The Parish Schools Day Committee has already convened to refine certain aspects for next year's Parish Schools Day in late 2024.

Heartfelt thanks are extended to the dedicated teachers who worked tirelessly throughout the day, facilitating various events and activities. A special mention goes to our Year 11 Cohort, who demonstrated impressive enthusiasm in their fancy dress attire while running numerous activities.

Splashing Success at the Swimming Carnival

The Ballina pool set the stage for a highly successful Swimming Carnival, not focused on competitive swimming, but rather a day of fun where community spirit emerged as the true victor. From waterslides and novelty events to music, a whole-school Nutbush, and a dominating performance by the teachers in the final relays, it was an unforgettable day. Our sincere appreciation goes to Mr. Kennedy, Russell, and all the teachers who dedicated their efforts to make this day enjoyable for everyone. As we conclude this year, we emphasise the importance of students actively participating in such community events as outlined in their enrolment agreement.

Empowering Launch of The Resilience Project

The presentations by Martin Heppell from The Resilience Project were nothing short of a resounding success. While acknowledging that he may not be everyone's cup of tea, his energy and message resonated well with our staff, parents, and students. This marked a significant step as we commit to making The Resilience Project a focal point for our Social and Emotional Learning in the upcoming 2024 School Year. Regular updates will be sent home to guide conversations and foster parent partnership in this vital space.

Community Service Program

It was wonderful to see so many of our students receiving awards for the Men and Women for Others Community Service Program at the various presentation assemblies this week. The program gives students the opportunity to be acknowledged for the good works they are already doing and encourages them to undertake service to others in the community.

Students are encouraged to start recording their hours now for inclusion in the 2024 program. Many students volunteer at Surf Life Saving, Parkrun, and other community organisations, particularly over the school holidays, and these can count towards students' accrued hours for 2024. 

Below is a reminder about the program details.

How it works

Students undertake deeds in the service of others and keep a log of their hours in their planner on pages 28-29. Their hours must be signed off by a supervisor (such as a parent, teacher, or community supervisor). In Week 6 of Term 4 2024, their Pastoral Care teacher will record their hours, and they could be awarded a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Community Service Award.

Awards: 

• 20 hours of community service = Bronze Award
• 50 hours of community service = Silver Award
• 100+ hours of community service = Gold Award 

What is community service? 

Community service is an unpaid activity that serves the community. It could include work that is: volunteering, community work, sports coaching, Parish-based, tutoring (unpaid), or for the Xavier Catholic College community (e.g. Leos club, ministry activities, environment club, Year 9 program). If they assisted during the floods, either at Xavier or in their local community, this also counts as community service. The range of activities that ‘count’ as community service is broad — if students have any questions, they can talk to their PC teacher, RE teacher, or Dr Beveridge.

Open Boys Football vs The Southport School

It was a very close, competitive game, with the final score of 2-1 to The Southport School (TSS). Our goal was scored by Harry Groves. We had the chance to level right at the end - Joey Anderson one-on-one with the keeper, who pulled off an outstanding save to keep it at 2-1. Standout players for XCC were Caiden Manley in goal, Aidan Martorana at centre-back, and Jacob Miletic at left-back. Our midfield work rate was impressive — Archie Power and Tyler Dogan covered every blade of grass. It's great to know that we are not too far behind a school with an elite football development program. Special thanks to TSS for their warm welcome and generous hospitality.

Opens Diocesan Water Polo

The Open Water Polo competition was held at Alstonville Pool on 16 November. The girls' team played well, improving rapidly after each game. Some incredible goals were scored by Niamh Sharpe and Callie Gollan. The girls worked well together and displayed great sportsmanship. The boys' team played consistently throughout the day, making the semi-final round. Unfortunately, they went down while their spirits were high. A notable mention goes to Lewis Trim, who scored a large number of goals throughout the day. Congratulations on a wonderful carnival!

Ms Georgia Quinn

Under 15s Diocesan Water Polo

The Under 15 Girls' Water Polo team had a great tournament, coming away with the silver medal.

Mya Poptie also did well in goalkeeping for the day. The competition was fierce, but our determined girls showed resilience in the water and great sportsmanship. Well done to all involved.

Individual Achievements

Surfing

Congratulations to Billie Cook-Slevin, who attended the Woolworths Australian Junior Surf Titles held at Phillip Island in Victoria, which is a week-long event with 180 competitors from across Australia competing in U14, U16, and U18 age groups. Surfers are selected to compete in this event based on state results, and it is the biggest and final event of the year. Across the week, competitors surfed at Woolamai Beach, where the conditions varied from 2-4 feet and were mostly windy, making the waves tricky to surf. Each age group surfs 3 heats where only the top two competitors progress through to the next round before moving on to the finals (quarter, semi, and grand).

Billie competed for Victoria in U16 girls and came equal 7th in Australia! Congratulations Billie. 

Rugby League

Congratulations to Jett Flatley on his Rugby League achievements. He is a member of the Ballina Seagulls Under 15s team who were runners up in the Group 1 competition. He is a member of the Titans Representative Rugby League Under 15 Academy and also a member of the Titans Andrew Johns Under 16 Representative Squad. Jett was also selected for the NSWCCC North Under 15 Boys team. Well done, Jett.

Congratulations to Chaise Windle, who has been selected in the Lisa Fiola Under 17’s Women's Titan’s Rugby League squad.

Congratulations to Kai Saric, who has been selected for the Northern Rivers Titans Under 18’s team and plays in the Laurie Daley Cup.

Popstars! The Musical Update

Rehearsals for Popstars! The Musical have been full of energy, dedication and commitment. Our vision for Act One has come to life, and we can’t wait to come back next year and put Act Two alongside it.

The cast and crew have been busy learning lines, dancing up a storm and singing their little hearts out. Musicians have been practising tirelessly and have just about learned all twenty-six songs in the show.

We have spent most of Week 10 working with all departments, seeing various parts of the show come together. It’s so nice to see, hear and feel how various elements interact after working separately for some time. 

With our set being constructed over the holidays, the art crew will then work on painting each section, which will help add vibrance to the show. The art crew have spent time creating props and painting other elements of the set this term, and they are looking forward to working on the physical set starting in 2024.

Thank you to all the students involved. Your hard work and determination are a credit to the performers, musicians and artists you are.
