El PRINCIPAL1S ADDRESS - SPEECH DAY 2008

4 YEAR BOOK 2008

D Jstinguished guests, students, stall and parents. Today we arc here to celebrate with joy and grahtude all that is gOCld this year

at Brigidine College St lves.

Behind me on the ~creens you will sec a selection of some of the wonderful happenings that have occurred this year.

Our BrigiJi:ne heritage is of great importance to our community. This year marked the 125th anniversary since the Brigidinc sisters arrivl.'d in NSW to establish a school at Coonamblc. Staff and Year 7 students travelled to Coonamble to take part in this historic weekend What an opportunity for us to tocus on the wondertu l contribut:ton lhe Brigidinc c;is tcrs have made to education.

This year we have had man) rich L'xpericnccs in the liturgical life of our stuJents. Our Opening School .\!lass whcrt' IW welcomed new staff and students to our community; our Ash Wednesday and Easter liturgies; ()ur Founders' Day Mass, our Leadership Mass, our Involvement 111 World 'rbuth Day aclivilies, where students trom our Brigidme schools in Victoria and South Austra lia stayed in our Gym and had the opportunity to participatl) in activities w1th our staff, students and parents; our Assembly that allowed students and staff to rarticipate in the historical <1pology to the Indigenous people.

Our Jeep commitment to social ju&licc again reflects our Brigidim.' heritage and demonstrates our ChriStian value-. <lnd generosity or spirit to help those who need our support.

Tradition tt'lls uo:; that St lkigid had an cxtraordjnary compassion and concern for lhc poor people or her timt> Here at nur College we have been challenged by Brigid's example and we have tried to help others less fortunate than ourselves.

Tl'wYear 12 charity this year, Green Gecko, had wonderful Stlpport from our extenJed community. OurYear 12 students are to be ct>ngratulatt•d on their outsla nding achievement in raising over $16,000 Thi!-> money will be used to buy a bu'> ll) transport the children at the Green Gecko Orphanage in Cambodia.

II SPIRITUALITY 125-YEAR CELEBRATION OF BRIGIDINE EDUCATION

I n June a group ofYear 7 students, together wilh Mrs Atkins, Mr Halliday, Ms Egan

and Mrs Goddard travelled to Coonamble to celebrate the anmversary of 125 years of Brigidine education in NSW. They attended a trad1tional liturgical ceremony held at the grave sites of the Brigidil1e Sisters who had died in Coonamble which was the Mother House of the Congregation for many years. The service was very moving as relatives or friends of those who died spoke about each Sister's life. Sadly many had died as young women, though their pioneering spirit lives through the Sisters still resident in Coonamble. The respect and reflections of the residents of Coonamble demonstrate that these women will not be forgotten.

On the Saturday night staff members attended a Gala Dinner of over 300 people. There they heard reminisces of past students and met people who had only been educated by Brigidine Sisters.

"The trip to Coonamblc was boU1 a rewarding and educational experience which we all will remember for the rest of our lives. We have learnt many things about the Brigidine Sisters and what they did for the education of Australia. The children at St. Brigid's had to practice their letter writing in sand boxes and the floor had gaps in which snakes would crawl up into the classroom. Tunes have changed now and there are only three nuns in Coonamble. We have a lot to be thankful for and if it weren't for the nuns coming out in 1883 the education would not be the same", said Year 7 students Alex Mcinnes, Kristie Nixon, Emma Nedov, Minnie Baillie and Annalise Neal.

W ith World Youth Dny celebrations bnnging new vitality to the Catho lic

The year 2008 has been an exciting and enjoyable year wilh the Liturgy Society benefiting greatly from a dose relaUonship with the St Vlncent de Paul Snciety. \Vith llur ... hared commitment to Social Justice, the culmination of sptrituality and compassion has been a core theme of both societies anJ as such, our resulting liturgies and masses.

Thec;pirituaJ lifeoftheCoUegc has always been a central part of the '13rigidine" experience, w1th masses and liturgtes throughout the ye:u not only reasserting our common beliefs, but rcasserling our fee!Lngs of acceptance and bclongmg wtthm our day- to-day mteractions. In the hectic expenencc of high school, tl is comforting to take some lime out everv now and then to med itate anJ reflect on what it is that brings us together as studen ts of strength and gen tleness

The arrival of the World Youth Day cross and icon to our very own College ha ll was a verv excitmg event v,rith many g~rls and families getting lnvolved in celebrations over that weekend as we hnsted the main WYD cvent for the cathedral.

Year 12

0 ur two wonderful Year 12 Drama classes in 2008 hove demonstrated high

standards of professionalism and commitment both on and off the stage. There certa1 r1ly has been plenty of Drama in the Drama Rooms! A packed Bowie Hall thoroughly enjoyed Lhe HSC Drama Individual Performance and Projcct Evening in June, and the IISC Drama Croup Perfmmance Evening in July.

In addition to performance work, students grappled with the academic content on the HSC Drama syllabus. The Contemporary Australian play~ of Ruby Mon11 and Still Angrln provided fabulous stimulation to perfom1ance and class dis,ussions. As did our other content topic, Irish Theatre -many a ttme could the Irish accent be heard outside the Drama Room! Both classes were taught by MsYoung. All of our Year l2 Drama students worked incredibly hard and deserve the accolades. l wish our Drama girls a life fi lled with drama of every kind!

Yeilr 11

T his year has seen the largest ever cohort ofYcar 11 Drama students - 53 students

rn total! The Year 1 1 Drama course covers all aspects of theatncal production including directing, design, performance, acting, group performance, mdivtdual performance, reviewing, and scnptwriting. The Year 11 Drama classes have attended a wide variety of live theatrical performances including OnSrage (Seymour Centre), 7 Sta.gt's of Grirvwg (Sydney Theatre Company), The Beauty Quee11 of L.emane (Wildfire) and Worm'll nfTmy (Sydney Theatre Company). Many of our Year 1·1 Drama students have been active members of the Glen Street Subs Club.

Many of the Year 11 Drama s tudents were also involved in the fabu lous Year 11 Play~ 771e Brady Bunch (four episode" of the original series­with permission from the origina l \>\'liter and Paramount Pictures USA!) directed by ~~iss McDonald wh1ch played to packed audiences in Bowie I !all m June, and was rhen offered a return season at the professional theatre at Star of the Sea Theatre in Manly in August. The Year 11 Drama students performed in the Drama Showcase in October, enthralling the audiences with the sophistication of thdr theatrical skills in individual and group performance work. All three Year 11 Drama classes have been taught by Miss McDonald and they have been delightful to work with - their performance and theatre work have displayed their fabulous talent and passion.

• CLASS OF 2008 COLLEGE CAPTAIN'S ADDRESS

I t is said that "education is when you read the Ane print. .. but experience is what you get when you don't". Interestingly, there is

a group on"Facebook"no less that cJaims that Lheir education finished the day that the I ISC started. That school became not so much about learning but about regurgitating facts and figures, and that instead of expanding our honzons it limited us to what the board of stud1es felt was examinable.

l happen to disagree somewhat, reCiecting on the six years I have spent withm these walls. I believe that Bngidine College has maintained that delicate balance where I - aJongs1de every smgle student has received an education that is both theoretical and practical gradually moulding us into people that can enter the world with conAdence.

Now as a young lady on the threshold of boundless opportunilles I feel that there is little that can stand in my way. And although til wac; somewhat inevitable thatl followed in the footsteps of my older sister Usa, 1 would like to thmk that fate had something to say m it.

There is no simplistic way to describe the year that has past. flo; cliched but year12 truly is a roller coa5ter \'VI th each student on their ovm track, ex-periencmg their own highs and lows. Undoubtedly, my captaincy has forced me to think beyond my own academic studies, helping me realise that there is more to year 12 than a high UAl. Through focusmg on our charity the Green Gecko Project and meetmg with student leaders from all around the world, T have since learnt, that people- not wealth, or prized possessions are our greatest assets and not solely those that are likeminded.

Whilst only a few short weeks from graduating and completing those dreaded HSC exams, nostalgia has forced the tears, worries and fears into distant memory - after all pam is temporary but glory is forever. fnstead fond memories of the dedicated teachers, the girls, and endless laughter stand in their place, no doubt having shaped the person that I am today.

Although thiS afternoon we have acknowledged academiC success, Brigidine provides a platform for its students to participate in such a clivcrse range of activities. 1t was whilst singing in the chotr or debating, dancing, playing netball or being involved in drama that r forged ever lasting friendships with girls with whom l shared something in common. ft was this "Get Involved" attitude U1at we as leaders and a senior year group hoped to pass on to the girls. The motto "girls can do anything, Brigidine girls can do everything"ha!> undoubtedly instilled within us the longing to exceed beyond expectations and to remove limitations.

146 I YEAR BOOK 2008

But as T move on, T have learnt so much from the experience of being captain as a whole- iromcaUy more so from the things that I didn't do as opposed to the Lhings that I achieved. It is easy to have regrets- to travt-1 dovm the path of what ifs. But then whils l we do, life is already passing us by prcciOllS time that is irretrievable and will only join that list of regrets. At Brigidme I have learnt, it we are to succeed in whatever future endeavors await us, we must value the conviction of our own beliefs, we must have the courage to fulAil our potentiaJ and to realbc our individual responsibiUhes - always with strength and gentleness.

It saddens me to leave what has essentially become a second home, and yet intrinsically I know that the mark that Bng-Jtlme ha.:; made on me will never fade and for that I am eternally grateful
