Fostering Future Leaders: Off to a flying start with our Junior School

It was a delight to see the launch of our innovative Stuartholme Strategic Plan 2024 – 2027 recently which fulfils the Mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart, for our students to be the change makers in the world.

Our The Junior school which proudly commenced in January 2024 is foundational for shaping the students who shape the future.

Building on Stuartholme’s dynamic staff culture

Stuartholme has a proud record of attracting and nurturing the brightest talents, so that we are poised to deliver a dynamic educational environment of Stuartholme. Our impressive Junior School Team is no exception.

Led by Mr Brendan Downes, Director of Junior School and Megan Moffatt, Leader of Learning Junior School, they bring a wealth of experience in developing Junior School teaching and learning. Leanne Caines with a background in school support is the friendly and welcoming presence in our Junior School Reception.  At the coalface our students have two outstanding educators, Maggie Wright and Genevieve Easton, whose passion and expertise contribute to a robust, supportive, and caring environment.

Dr Ron Ritchhart senior researcher at Harvard Graduate School of Education who has partnered with Stuartholme for the past 6 years, is working as a critical friend with Junior staff. A targeted professional learning program was designed to skill staff in this ground-breaking work which places at its core students becoming thinkers and learners.

A significant investment in innovative teaching and learning.

The Junior School has provided the basis of a significant investment in innovative teaching and learning at Stuartholme.

With only 100 students in Years 5 and 6, Stuartholme offers a distinctive opportunity for these students to receive an education tailored to their individual needs. This has been realised in practice through the timetabling with literacy and numeracy blocks in the morning and a differentiated approach.

The Junior School Wellbeing program is foundational to success encompassing Mindfulness, gratitude, Restorative Practices Circle Time, and explicit lessons.

Shaped to foster small group learning through the arrangement of furniture into purpose designed learning spaces, the design delivers on the Stuartholme graduate vision – one who exhibits courage, compassion and confidence to be an agent of transformation in their lives and the lives of others.

The earlier intervention with students commencing a quality Stuartholme education at 9 years of age, two years prior, better places the school to build co-agency approaches through relationships with students and families to achieve excellence in outstanding student outcomes – a centrepiece of our strategic future focus.

Last week the Cor Unum Committee led our community in prayer as we celebrated International Women’s Day Liturgy with a sense of fun and gratitude.  The Leaders came dressed as their role model mothers and were a great inspiration throughout the day as they brought the theme, #InspireInclusion, to life.

A highlight of the day was Susannah Streeton’s presentation of the Cor Unum International Women’s Day Address.

“As young women, we gather inspiration from many places and people. Here at Stuartholme, our wisdom women; St. Madeleine-Sophie Barat, Mother Janet Erskine Stuart, Philippine Duchesne are the most prominent examples, who paved the way

 for our school’s ethos. Their example is an extraordinary one. Through education, Madeleine Sophie inspired to include girls in a society from which they were barred entry, to look out for other women, and to ensure that success, power, love and inclusion were not a limited resource for women, but rather something that grows the more we share it.” (Streeton, 2024)

Susannah went on to reflect about her conversation with Sr Rita Carroll and how Rita embodies St Madeleine Sophies’ call to, “Be Kind without weakness, humble without grovelling”.

“It reminded me that by committing their whole lives to the society, sisters had a pathway to live extraordinary lives, completely in service of lifting other women. If we can give even a fraction of ourselves to the same cause, the flow-on effects in enriching the lives of those around us cannot be understated.” (Streeton, 2024)

Congratulations also to the JPIC students and library who prepared ribbons for the staff and sold the IWD Ribbons along with Ms Lawler and Ms Cantarutti.

Tuesday evening saw the launch of the India Immersion Information Evening and a massive thank you goes to Sandra Cantarutti and Jarod Constantini for there preparation of materials for this event.

This week Stuartholme prepared for Lent with a special Reconciliation liturgical reflection.  Year 11 students took on the responsibility of liturgy and prayerfully led the community, exploring the power of forgiveness.  Year 11 student, Mae Carroll created a reflection on the Prodigal Son Gospel which was a centre piece for the ritual of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Newsletter Article: Term 1, Week 8 2024

Our Dean of Mission, Mr Andrew Beiers, led a beautiful Reconciliation Liturgy on Friday where he invited students to reflect on who they may owe an apology: their friends, family, or even themselves.  Forgiveness is a concept deeply rooted in the Lenten tradition, reminding us of the importance of extending grace and compassion, not only to others but also to ourselves. It’s about acknowledging our humanity, recognising our mistakes, and choosing to move forward with kindness and understanding.

This message was timely and powerful as our students navigate the assessment period with Exam Blocks in the senior school and NAPLAN testing underway for students in Years 5, 7 and 9. This period can bring about heightened feelings of stress, anxiety, and self-doubt, so it is important that students practise kindness and forgiveness to both themselves and others when they inevitably face challenges or setbacks during this time.

Procrastination is one challenge that all students encounter to varying extents in the lead-up to exams.  Our Year 11 cohort recently engaged in a “How to tackle procrastination” workshop where Margaret Devlin, our Director of Academic Operations, and I shared tips for understanding why we all procrastinate and tools for getting back on track.  Research tells us that one of the most effective strategies for tackling procrastination is to become aware when you are procrastinating and then give yourself a second chance to start again.  With practise, this simple act of self-forgiveness can become a powerful habit that results in more effective and efficient study over time.

Here are some other strategies, backed by science, that students can use to tackle procrastination:

1. Ask “What can I get done in 5 minutes?” then do that one thing. Getting started is the hardest part but five minutes of productivity with an easy task is enough to generate some willpower to keep going.
2. Avoid distractions by putting mobile phones and other unnecessary digital devices in another room. Working memory is compromised by the mere presence of a phone even when it is turned off, so put it out of sight.
3. Remember that bad habits are hard to break but so too are good ones! Use tools such as the student diary and school calendar to plan out study in advance as part of a regular routine.
4. Be accountable to yourself and others by using self-imposed deadlines and connecting with an “accountability” buddy to stay on track with commitments.

During this Lenten season, parents and teachers can intentionally foster an environment of forgiveness by encouraging our young people to approach their exams with diligence and perseverance, and by reminding them that it is okay to make mistakes along the way. Emphasise the importance of learning from these mistakes and moving forward with renewed determination.

Moreover, adults can model self-forgiveness in our own actions and interactions. Share stories of times when you have faced similar struggles or setbacks, and how you’ve learned to forgive yourself and move forward. By demonstrating a healthy attitude towards self-forgiveness, you provide your children with a powerful example to follow.

I am very proud of the academic courage that our students have shown so far this year and wish them all the best for a strong finish to Term 1.

Year 7 Camp

Recently, our Year 7 students embarked on an enriching overnight camp experience at Camp Warrawee, under the guidance of Mrs. Correia and her proficient team of Teacher Mentors. This adventure proved to be a remarkable journey, challenging many students to step out of their comfort zones. The program featured a diverse range of physical activities, fostering increased resilience among participants and providing a platform for the formation of new connections and friendships.

At Stuartholme, our Camp Program holds a pivotal role within our Wellbeing Program. We recognize these opportunities as catalysts for personal growth in a distinctive and impactful manner. The immersive experiences offered at Camp Warrawee not only contribute to the physical and mental resilience of our students but also create a nurturing environment where lasting connections are formed. This commitment to holistic development is a testament to our dedication to fostering a supportive and enriching educational journey for every student at Stuartholme.

IWD

Our student body showcased their remarkable voice last Friday in celebration of International Women’s Day. Our Cor Unum, Susannah Streeton, delivered an inspiring speech at our liturgy, reminding us to seek inspiration from within our community, highlighting especially our wisdom women who embody the spirit of inclusion.

Susannah explained that through the example of Madeline Sophie we are can see that “love and inclusion” are “not  a limited resource for women, but rather something that grows the more we share it.” This insightful perspective encourages us to recognize the inherent value in fostering an inclusive community.

The Cor Unum Committee further enriched the day by leading the community in a spirited Dance Off on Friday. Against a backdrop of empowering songs, the celebration radiated joy and unity, underscoring the vibrancy of our school community. The entire celebration was a testament to the strength of our student voice and the commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive environment.

Open Day

Sincere thanks to the many wonderful students who assisted with school tours at Open Day. Many parents commented that the students who led the tours were outstanding. Our Wellbeing Captain Immy Foley and Committee, Abi Coogan, organised, with the assistance of the Director of Wellbeing, Ms Sue Harris, a Gratitude Wall for new families and children to add to. It was a powerful reminder and insight to who we are as a Sacred Heart community.

Key reminders for parents:

• Mobile phones must be placed in lockers as soon as students arrive at schools. Please check with your daughter that she has a lock and is utilising it!
• If your daughter is away or needing to eave school early for an appointment, please ensure you notify the school via the school app in advance. We cannot allow a student to leave the school grounds unless we have received notice.
• As per the Parent Handbook: With regard to the uniform in Term 2, in cooler weather the students wear the same as for summer with the addition of navy rib stockings, navy school jumper and scarf. The school blazer is compulsory for all students from the first day after the long weekend in May through to the Exhibition public holiday in August or when travelling to and from school when feeling cold and at all formal school events. The jumper alone is not acceptable outside the grounds or at formal events.

All the best to families for the final 2 weeks of Term 1.

The closing of St Mary’s, the boarding school for the Potawatomi girls, meant that there were Sisters available for the Mission to New Zealand.

St Mary’s School known to the locals as “The tower on the Prairie”.

Reading correspondence, of Saint Madeleine Sophie, that extends over long years, it is striking to see to what an extent changes of house, and even of country, are taken for granted; sometimes they are not even mentioned,

as Saint Madeleine Sophie left this to the Mothers Superior. While there are very few photos of the adventurous women who were ready to make the long voyage from the United States to New Zealand to extend the Mission of the Society, we do have some insights into who they were from some short descriptions.

Mother Helen Mair is said to have had natural talents, excellent education, tact, industry, and solid virtues which enabled her to fill different positions with success, so it was said that she accomplished the work of four people. She spent a brief period in Melbourne before returning to Timaru as Superior in 1895.

Mother Rachel Sharman became the first Superior. She would have been coping with the difficulties associated with making a foundation in a foreign land after the shock of the death of Mother Boudreau, the Superior who accompanied them on the voyage to see them settled. Rechel suffered from deafness and ill health.

Mother Catherine Sullivan left as her dying message to the students… “Tell them to love Our Lord Jesus Christ ardently, to be obedient, pious and truthful: to live as good Christians, always faithful to duty.”

Sister Mary Heffernan would have been responsible for all the practical arrangements of the foundation. She is described as Irish born with a fiery temperament of “the pure blood of Tipperary” and a heart of gold.

The one with the most interesting history is Mother Juliette Bauduy-Garesché. Juliette was a widow. She had married Peter in 1849 for whom she had converted to Catholicism. They had two sons and two daughters and during the Civil War, Peter had volunteered in the Confederate Army. During the War Juliette made a courageous crossing of the enemy lines to visit her husband. Her return journey to New York was even more adventurous. After the War the family returned to St Louis where her husband died suddenly. She also lost her two sons in circumstances that are not recorded. Juliette’s two daughters Kitty and Lilly had entered the Society, so, having reared her family, Juliette decided to enter the Society herself. She made her Vows in 1878, a year before she set off for New Zealand.

Juliette had nursed Mother Boudreau in her last illness and had been requested to return at once to Missouri with her last messages and papers. Bishop Redwood accompanied her across the Pacific. He said she fell ill in the tropics, and they kept her alive for a week on iced champagne! It must have been an effective remedy as she arrived home in good health. She was appointed Superior of City House, St Louis, and later St Michael’s, where, on the eve of her death in 1885, she was visited by Fr Chataigner, who had been the Parish Priest of Timaru and given Mother Boudreau the Last Sacraments.

Timaru flourished and celebrated its Golden Jubilee, but the Great Depression caused the loss of students and financial difficulties. This combined with the need for personnel elsewhere, led to its closure in December 1933.

Year 9 Economics and Business – Project Based Learning

Project-Based Learning (PBL), a derivative of inquiry-based learning, is a student-centred approach to learning that engages students in developing critical thinking through undertaking meaningful projects. PBL is used at the commencement of the Year 9 Economics and Business course as a means of encouraging active learning where the students are central to the construction of their own learning, rather than being passive recipients of information. The challenge set for our students was to design, cost, market and sell a product to a target audience at Open Day. Each class assumed the role of running their own business, with teacher guidance, to understand concepts including target markets, inventory, break-even, revenue, expenses and profit.

As part of PBL, the students were engaged in planning and problem solving, along with developing skills in teamwork and communication. Participation in selling to customers at Open Day was a key learning experience for students as they actively participated in their project. The final products produced by our young entrepreneurs were face painting, butterfly-shaped lolly bags and Crumbs & Co biscuits.

The culminating task was to finalise the financials for the project, with students helping prepare a Statement of Profit (or Loss) for their businesses. The ventures were highly successful with $350 being donated to Project Compassion.

A sample of student feedback:

“It was fun to interact with the parents and kids when I was working the stall. I used an EFTPOS machine for the first time, and it went well. In the stall, we all collaborated well together to sell the products! It was really fun!” By Grace McGillion

“I enjoyed participating in baking cookies for the venture. It was also fun packing the cookies and cutting out materials for decorating our store.” By Evelyn Clark

“I was involved in the production of the biscuits and the test baking and it was an amazing experience to see and learn how business ventures work.” By Katie Kneebone

“I enjoyed seeing the smile on the kids faces when they saw the face paint design they got.” By Addison O’Brien

“Through the facepainting we participated in on Open Day, I was able to learn about how to communicate with customers, and how to give them the best experience possible. I really enjoyed welcoming people to our school!.” By Sophie Weir

“I learnt how to effectively calculate the costs of the cookies and use an EFTPOS machine.” By Lily Kalaja-King

“I used an EFTPOS machine and I enjoyed serving people and making the butterfly bags for our customers.” By Eva Hetherington

“Thank you so much for the opportunity on open day it was really fun and a great experience. I loved seeing all the new faces, interacting with all the parents, and talking to the girls who we will hopefully see in the future.” By Emma Lister

“I was helping with the butterfly bags and the face painting; with the butterfly bags they were a very fast business and had taken in a lot of customers. I loved the number of kids there, smiling. When I moved on to face painting, it was a wonderful experience chatting with the kids, and seeing the smile get bigger after their face was done. I was told by several kids that they loved the school and wanted to go to Stuartholme, the venture had a lasting impact and was talked about for consecutive days after”. By Deana-Rose Mailata

“As a year 9 class in Business, we created butterfly bags that were lolly bags twisted into the shape of a butterfly that kids could decorate with pompoms.  I think the idea was fabulous and it worked pretty well considering we were all sold out in the middle of the day. It was really fun and good experience for what happens in the real world when working in cafes or restaurants. I would love to do it again if I had the opportunity and I’m glad the money is going to a good cause.” By Sophie Gardner

Leap Years – Why you have a plus-one in your calendar for 2024?

As you’ve hopefully already noticed, March came a little later than usual this year. Rather than February’s typical 28 days, it welcomed an extra day for 2024, but why?

For millenniums, humans have been basing our calendars around the cosmos; centring our conception of time on interstellar events such as the Earth’s revolution and its rotation around the Sun. For the most part, this acts as a fairly fool-proof method of time keeping, but there’s just one problem. The Earth doesn’t actually revolve the Sun in 365 days, but rather 365.25. Six (6) hour-long days obviously don’t exist, so in order to maintain our synchronisation with the astronomical year, February, the smallest month, gets a plus one on every year that is divisible by four: 2024, 2028, 2032, and so on.

Without this 366^th day, our calendar would begin to drift from its synchronisation with these cosmic milestones, as our new year would begin about 6 hours later than that of the previous. Short-term, this doesn’t seem like that significant a change. However, in around 100 years without leap days, things like the timing of our seasons would shift by almost a month. After 300, 3 months. Summer would range from March to May, and winter from September to November. If this were the case, other milestones such as New Years would also be subject to a 6 hour delay each year, causing it to occur across a variety of different points of each January 1^st. I have a feeling the ball drop wouldn’t be anywhere near as exciting at noon as it is midnight though.

All in all, if it weren’t for leap years, this inconsistency of events and their occurrences would get pretty hard to keep track of.

So I hope you enjoyed that extra day of summer, because it won’t be back for a while.
