Prayer for People who are Homeless
From the 2018-2019 Social Justice Statement:
A Place to Call Home: Making a home for
everyone in our land

Lord our God,

You who so mysteriously call upon us to share in the
sufferings of Christ, fill our hearts with compassion
for those who lack the warmth of a home.

We commend to you in prayer this day all men,
women and children who suffer because they have
no shelter; those who sleep in our streets and public
spaces, who have nowhere safe to lay their heads,
and who wander from place to place as a way of life.

We pray for broken families who cannot pay the rent,
for those who are the lost and abandoned, for those
on the streets whose minds have been touched
by illness or whose bodies are sorely affected by
disabilities.

We ask that your merciful Grace be poured out upon
those with addictions, those who have given up in the
face of enormous tribulations, and those driven into
a homeless life by crushing poverty.

God of Compassion, your love for us is revealed
in your beloved son Jesus, who was born into
homelessness, lived with nowhere to lay his head,
and died for us in agony on the cross.

Inspire us to act in justice, by all means at our
disposal, to right the wrongs of peoples who are
suffering the deprivations of homelessness, and
to see in them the dignity of a brother and sister
redeemed by Jesus Christ.

Let us have the commitment, as people of the Gospel,
to be ever mindful of our obligations we have to the
poor and marginalised, to work in your name, O God,
to turn sorrow into joy and to bring all those who live
in darkness into your own wonderful light.

Amen

Performance Poet, Manal Younus enthralls Year 7's

We sat there silently, mouths closed - ears open. There stood in front of us
a beautiful lady with many powerful stories and poems to share.

The Year 7's experienced wise words from a guest speaker that will stick
with us forever. Manal Younus, an amazing poet, came to share with us
her captivating journey from a baby in Eritrea, to a poet who is taking the
performance poetry world by storm in Australia.

hasn’t slowed down – she has composed “words with
meaning”!

She writes poems that tackle real life issues like
racism but in person shows her entertaining and
creative streak. Her favourite type of poetry is the
spoken-word - a style where you don’t read from a
paper but you perform the words – and in some parts
you can speak really fast to exaggerate the point.

Manal is also a really good rapper.

She has published a book called ‘Reap’ containing
poems that she has written over the past nine years.

The Constitutional Convention
For Secondary Schools

Claudia
Chmielewski
Year 11

Last week Rachel, Iwuagwu and I, accompanied by Ms Carroll,
were fortunate enough to attend the Secondary School’s
Parliamentary Convention at our State Parliamentary House .
The intention of the day was to come to a joint conclusion as
to whether or not the current Australian Constitution meets the
needs of modern Australia, through discussion with students
from all across Victoria after being informed by our own research
and input from a few excellent guest speakers which included Ms
Judith Graley MP, Parlimentary Secretary for Education; Laureatte
Professor and Emeritus Cheryl Saunders from The University of
Melbourne.
The speakers certainly provided compelling arguments for
both sides of the topic through the lens of concepts from their
respective areas of expertise. Throughout the day we were given
chances to voice our opinions on the selected topic through
discussion time with other politically inclined students.
Overall the day was interesting to say the least, and exposed
us to disparate views which we would have otherwise never
considered.
The day challenged us to develop our own standpoints on
the issue and, ultimately, come to the conclusion through a
majority vote that our current constitution does not meet the
current needs of Australia as it does not serve all sections of the
community.

Year 12 Literature - Examining Art at NGV

The Year 12 literature class took part in an excursion
to the National Gallery of Victoria in order to better
understand the relationship between art and literary
perspectives. The ability to comment on the authorial
and artistic intentions of the creators of artworks-
both visual and written- lies at the heart of the study
of Literature.

We were given a tour by Jenny Isaacs, who has

Ellie Karaula considerable experience both as an educator at
Year 12 the gallery and as a teacher of literature. Jenny
encouraged us to explore the underlying class

and gender issues within art and texts, especially in reference to the

novels North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell and The Baron in the Trees

by Italo Calvino. We discussed the depiction of class and gender in

Victorian art through close analysis of works such as Sir William Quiller

Orchardson’s painting “The First Cloud” (1887) and in modernist works

such as David Hockney’s (1963) “The second marriage”. We also engaged

with more contemporary art forms such as music video by learning to

read the depiction of gender and race through the lens of feminist and

postcolonialist criticism.

Smile Day was run by
the Peer Helpers to
promote a positive

as well as to develop
greater connections
and happiness in our
community.
There was an array of
activities, such as a
bowling station and
hopscotch, as well as
pink face paint, music,
bubbles, Smile Day
stickers and more.
During lunchtime, we
also ran a cake stall.
The money raised
from this cake stall
will go to Presentation
Charities to support
the education of
females.
Overall, the day
provided an uplifting
and inclusive mood
for our community.

Stephanie

Smile Day is an
annual event
organised and held
by the Peer Helpers
to promote a positive
attitude, happiness,
and connection within
our community.
This year was the
first year we decided
to hold a bake sale
to raise money to
support female
education through the
Presentation Sisters.
This is obviously a
very important and
valued cause within
our school, and lots of
money was raised.
We believe that it
is important for
everyone to have
many reasons to smile,
and by helping these
young women get an
education, they will be
able to have another
reason to smile, like we
do at Avila.
We hope that everyone
had a fun time, and
that they can reflect on
all the reasons that we
have to smile every day.
