Year 7 Report

Year 7 2012 was a year of new challenges,
new friends and renewed enthusiasm for all
the students who joined the College this year.
The transition to a new school environment,
one with over a thousand students, is to say
the least, very daunting. The first priority
with a new cohort of nervous students is to
settle the boys into the routine of life at St
Doms: learning timetables, meeting teachers,
navigating the diary, finding classrooms,
establishing and meeting expectations and
making new friends. It is an exciting time
for all involved.

One of the best ways we can have to develop the boys in and a cohort of other opportunities the school offers to
these areas is with our Year 7 Camp. Who could forget the further the development of boys to men. One highlight was

Academic Life

Record of School Achievement (RoSA)

The School Certificate in 2012 has been replaced by the
Record of School Achievement (RoSA) where no external
exams are used to assess student performance and grades
reported are based on internal assessments conducted at
the college. The RoSA provides our students with additional
opportunities to showcase their knowledge and skills in extra
curricula endeavours and Literacy & Numeracy. The RoSA
will be awarded to any student leaving school before the
completion of their HSC and will include performance grades
for Year 10 and 11.

David Sheil Higher School Certificate

Naturally, a student is always welcome to make these calls
from my office if necessary, or ask for assistance if they have
not been successful after a few attempts to make contact.

Both Year 10 and Year 12 students undertake an individual
formal interview process; Year 10 in Term 2 and Year 12 in
Term 3. These are the occasions when we map out pathways
to various options, including education and employment
options.

The new Leaving Age of 17 has meant that many students
who would have previously left school are returning to
complete at least Year 11. Many of these students are
choosing subjects that will ensure they gain a variety of
skills and knowledge that meet employer’s expectations.
The additional time at school also allows them to develop a
greater level of maturity and often gain their driver’s licence
before applying for apprenticeships; all positives from the
employers’ point of view.

The motivated Year 10 and Year 12 students from 2012

and Ms Ede.
We had minimal changes to our programming and
assessment strategies in 2012. One significant difference was
the introduction of the RoSA for Year 10 meaning there was
no formal examination at the end of the year like previous
years. Instead, Year 10 boys were engaged in wide reading
throughout the year and, as a result, created either a Prezi
or Glogster to present to their peers demonstrating their
analysis of their chosen fiction texts. This was received well by
the boys and the staff.

Ms Ede and Miss Bassett also introduced a one period Drama
strand to Year 8 English in order to engender interest in
Drama as an elective in Year 9. Even though the elective did
not have enough numbers to run in 2013, year 8 boys and
their parents enjoyed this experience and it will continue to
be part of our Year 8 English program.

Typically, the English Faculty organised a number or events,
especially for the senior boys, to assist them in preparing
for the HSC. These included excursions to productions of
Hamlet and Shoehorn Sonata which are mandatory HSC texts.
Each time the boys visit the theatre they are enthusiastic
in their praise of the performances and acknowledge how
this enhances their understanding of the texts. We are also
privileged to have special connections with the American,
Los Angeles based film producer, Lynda Heys who presents
the Filmmakers’Tools and special viewings of the HSC film
texts to our students on an annual basis. She presented to
Year 7, 11 and 12 throughout 2012. Peter Skrzynecki, poet
and St Pats “old boy”, also enjoys visiting and presenting his
set poetry to our boys year after year. This he did again in
2012.

Selected Year 12 Advanced Students also attended
Information Access lectures to give them an edge over
others in preparation for their HSC. Mrs Roxburgh generously
accompanied the boys to this event. HSC English Ext 1 and 2

We are constantly evaluating our programs, teaching
strategies, use of ICT and assessment tasks. Domiknow
continued to be an important teaching tool and source
of revision, especially for our senior students. It is our aim
to utilise it more in the junior years. Year 9 classes were
provided with laptop trolleys in 2012 in order to make
them more ICT savvy and to aid teachers in providing more
engaging lessons. This worked well but requires evaluation
and discussion so as to maximise their potential. The Library
Reading Area has now been freed up somewhat with the
introduction of the laptop trolleys. This enabled English
classes to access the fiction collection for wide reading and
this will continue to be a focus in our English programs here
at St Dominic’s.

numeracy. In our regular Monday afternoon professional
development meetings here at school, the Mathematics
teaching staff, with emphasis on the Year 7 Core team, were
also introduced to the MAI and some alternative strategies to
teaching Mathematics. Mr Paul Stenning of the CEO assisted
with staff development at school with regular weekly visits,
including team teaching in the classroom to model strategies.
Approximately 60 boys were interviewed from Year 7 and
8 using the MAI, including students at our annex, Savio.
During the year we began work on a new Year 7 mathematics
teaching programme to implement in 2013 and also invested
considerable time and money into improving the resources
being used in mathematics classes, particularly in Year 7. In
July we were visited by three colleagues from a fellow EREA
school in Canberra, St Edmunds, who went into classrooms
and watched the team teaching lessons implementing EMU
strategies. 2013 will see us continue the EMU journey which
aligns closely to the College’s commitment to the Quality
Teaching Framework.

Year 10 Research Projects

This year the science department has embarked on a
new endeavour with our Year 10 students, as part of their
assessment mark students were required to complete a
personal research project in their own time. The project had
to be a first hand investigation into an area that interested
the students. Although some help was provided by our
staff and use of the science laboratories was available, the
students should be congratulated on their ingenuity and
determination in conducting the investigations in their own
time.

The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute

This award is given to Year 11 students each year and has
been developed to encourage interest in science among
secondary school students and to promote science as a
rewarding career choice. The students are nominated by
their teachers as demonstrating the highest achievement in
scientific studies throughout the year. This year’s recipient
from St Dominic’s College was Nathan Duguid who is
currently studying both Physics and Chemistry at HSC Level.
Nathan received his award at a ceremony held at Penrith
Council Chambers and as part of his award he was given
the opportunity to visit the Victor Chang Cardiac Research
Institution which is a world class cardiac research and training
facility. The College congratulates Nathan on his achievement
of this award.

students investigate the representation of ordinary objects
as art objects looking at the artists’ ability to bring out the
extraordinary in the ordinary. Students explored sculpture
and installation while looking at the impact of the Dadaists
and Postmodern artmaking practice. The final unit was a
contemporary theme of ‘Disaster Zones’ investigating how
artists respond to world events and create social commentary
to communicate a stance on poignant issues affecting
society. The resulting works featured as part of the Exposed
exhibition evening in late term three. Installations set-up
around the quad and in classrooms provoked the audience
and raised awareness of issues facing our world.

In term three all students exhibited their artworks at the
Creative and Performing Arts Showcase. A large crowd
gathered to recognise the creative achievements of the
boys. The following boys received Awards of Excellence in

An important part of the Music Department is the Music
Tutoring that occurs throughout each week. In 2012 we had

those students who wished to further develop their skills.
Mr Michael Walker and Mr Jason Barwick tutored students
on all styles of Guitar and Bass Guitar. Brad Kimber tutored

When my mates drop by, we often browse the magazines
- we each have our favourites. White ant loves to sink his
teeth into the woodwork magazines, Drag’n fly races to his
car magazines, Troutie fly is lured by the fishing magazines,
Trojan bug is into computers, while Wondai is a cricket, so you
can guess his favourite magazine.

My cousin TseTse enjoys watching African wildlife
programmes on Foxtel in the AudioVisual Room, though he
usually dozes off before the end. Personally I prefer a good
movie – ‘The Fly’ is my all-time favourite. There are so many
DVD programmes to choose from. The Publisher’s morning

possible teams in the blue and white uniform.

One of the sporting aspects of the college that doesn’t gain
as much recognition is the amount of boys who participate
in low profile sports outside of the school and MCS program.
In addition to our major representative teams we again had
boys competing at high levels in sports including baseball,
martial arts and rowing.

The College sports program would not run without the
support of a number of people. It is therefore fitting that
I make mention of, and thank, the many people whose

you to all the teaching staff who attend and supervise sport,
not only on Thursdays, but at our three major carnivals as
well. Without your assistance these carnivals would not run

Under 14s MSC AFL

It has been a fantastic season this year for 14s MCS AFL team.

With most of the squad new to playing AFL, our only
expectation was for the boys to learn more about the game
and most importantly have fun doing it. We had a couple of
great wins and were fortunate enough to make the finals.
I really enjoyed coaching the boys.

Hopefully with the experience gained this season we will see
more of the boys returning for the 2013 season.
