From the
Principal

Dear Avila College Community,
There is always much happening in any school day and in my experience
over this first month of term two, an Avila day offers diverse opportunities
for creativity, challenge and celebration.

Through Mary, “we learn
to open our hearts to obey
God; in her self-denial,
we see the importance of
tending to the needs of
others; in her tears, we find
the strength to console
those experiencing pain,"

During this month devoted
to Mary let us find the time
to pray to her and ask for
her guidance in all we do:

Mary, Virgin and Mother,
you who, moved by the Holy Spirit,
welcomed the word of life
in the depths of your humble faith:
as you gave yourself completely
to the Eternal One, help us to
say our own “yes” to the urgent
call, as pressing as ever, to
proclaim the good news of Jesus.

Filled with Christ’s presence,
you brought joy to John the
Baptist, making him exult in the
womb of his mother.
Brimming over with joy, you sang
of the great things done by God.

Standing at the foot of the cross
with unyielding faith, you
received the joyful comfort of
the resurrection, and joined the
disciples in awaiting the Spirit
so that the evangelizing Church
might be born.

Staying
Motivated

Staying Motivated to Study

How do I get motivated to study? This is one of the most common questions my students ask me.
Motivation is a key factor in success. I often send my Year 12 English class quotes to keep them
focused and boost their study motivation during peak periods.

1. For the student who is extremely productive 8. For the student who can’t see
at unimportant things; the end of the road;

“Never do tomorrow what you can do today. “When you think about quitting,
Procrastination is the thief of time". think about why you started”.

2. For the student who needs a reality check; 9. For the student who doesn’t understand the
purpose of mistakes;
"Push yourself, because no one
else is going to do it for you". “We learn from failure, not from success!”.

3. For the student who is master of excuses; 10. And finally…for every student;

“Success isn’t overnight. It’s when everyday “All that we are is the result of what we have
you get a little better than the day before, thought. The mind is everything. What we think
it all adds up”. we become".

4. For the student who is a master One of the strongest factor for success is self-esteem;
of procrastination; believing you can do it, believing you deserve it and
believing you will get it.
"Do or do not, there is no try".
I see a lot of students who can become overwhelmed

with their self- belief;
I always remind them that this period won’t go on
“Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t, forever, that everything changes and all you need to
pretend that you do and at some point you will”. do is to just keep taking action, studying and you will
succeed.
6. For the student who has big ambitions;
Angela Torelli
“Hard work beats talent Director of Studies Y10-12
when talent doesn’t work hard”.

7. For the student who can only see a mountain;

“Many times life will hit you hard, knock you
down, and hurt you. Persevere, never give up,
and do your best to get up and keep going".

Letter from the Audience

To the amazing staff and students involved in
Creative Arts,

Every single person involved in the show should be
so incredibly proud of what you presented.
I graduated in 2003 and I don't know any students
personally. I come to Creative Arts because it is a
fabulous show. This year, though, you surpassed
yourselves to present something that commanded
attention for the entire run of the show. It was
innovative, diverse, intelligent, moving and so funny.

I left Avila and went immediately to university at
Monash where I achieved a Bachelor of Performing
Arts degree. What you all presented on Thursday
evening was better than many professional
productions I've seen. It's made me wish I'd done
teaching so I could come and be a part of it all again.

Avila is a community, not just a school. Avila girls
become very proud Avila women and an Avila
woman is somebody who strides confidently into
the world and effects change in so many different
ways. The reason for this is the staff who give so
much of themselves to support passion and talent
in your students. Minds and hearts are nurtured and
supported alongside talent so that Avila girls are
also intelligent, respectful and compassionate.

On Thursday, the enthusiasm of both staff and
students, under the mind blowingly brilliant Roxanne
Lascaris and Justin Cash, to truly collaborate
with one another. Direction and production and
performance showed true teamwork between
staff and students or students with students and
staff member with staff member. It's a spirit and
a presence in performance you absolutely cannot
fake. The talent of the girls astonished me but I don't
know why, because it has always been that way.
I was especially moved and so very proud of the
girls who participated in the dance numbers when I
learnt that they conceived and choreographed those
numbers themselves. They were such memorable
performances. Every item demanded the audience
engage and evoked so many different emotions.

Thank you all so much for creating a show which was
entertaining and challenging and commanding.

Yours warmly,
Bry Balaton-Chrimes (and Nancy the guide dog)
