COVID-19 台灣UUApp
With news yesterday evening of a lockdown to the Perth and Peel region, we want to reassure you that the College will remain open as per the guidelines stated by the Western Australian government.
The current government expectation is that all students who are well, are required to continue school attendance this week. During this time we will run all timetabled classes as per normal face-to-face lessons. I encourage students to be in contact with their teachers if required. We will not be providing alternative learning options this week, however, we are well equipped and prepared for Remote Learning should the need arise in the future.
Required mask-wearing remains unchanged and all are reminded to practice 1.5 metres physical distancing and to follow good personal hygiene practices.
College Uniform wearing remains unchanged, in this aspect it is business as usual.
The College Library will close at 4.00pm Wednesday 30 June to Friday 2 July.
While the College remains open, all co-curricular and extra-curricular activities will be cancelled this week. This includes all excursions, incursions, guest speakers, visitors and more. In keeping with current restrictions, please note the following events have been cancelled or postponed:

Year 12 Retreat
I was privileged to have the opportunity to attend each of the four Year 12 retreat sites at the end of last week. I continue to be amazed, firstly by the dedication and talents of our staff and very importantly our wonderful students. The retreat opportunity is very special as it allows the students to stop, pause, slow down and reflect on who they are personally and provide a guidance from the College on their faith journey.
Thank you to Anita Finneran, our Coordinator of Liturgies and Retreats, supported by the Ministry team and staff who provided for the retreat experience.
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)
Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2019).
Further information is provided in this NCCD Letter to Parents.
Catholic Community
May I conclude by thanking our College community for the understanding and support that you have provided over the past Term and especially this week as we have all adjusted to this current health crisis.
It will be very important for students to stay connected and in communication with their respective teachers. Students or parents who have any further concerns or require assistance beyond their class teacher are requested to contact the appropriate staff member via email or through SEQTA. The College is aware that these are very uncertain times for our students and staff and we are mindful of their health and wellbeing. We will continue to work through this time together and support each other along the journey. That is what good communities do 鈥 and 台灣UUApp is an outstanding community!
Being a part of a Catholic Community, how we relate and communicate is a way of demonstrating Gospel values and compassion. I hope that either as individuals or in a shared experience and those opportunities the College provides, we can all use prayer as a great way to stay connected. Please continue to pray for those suffering directly from the COVID-19 crisis and for the incredible health workers who continue to support and care for them. Please stay safe. I wish all our students, staff, and Parents a wonderful holiday, very much together.
Thank you
Frank Italiano
Principal

We love celebrating student success, so if you have a story to share please send details to:
Library 台灣UUApp - End of Semester One
The Library has been very busy this semester. Starting and finishing with masks and social distancing, the Library was still a focal point for student activity. Homework Club ran on Tuesday and Thursday with many students signing in for help with their studies. Corpus Alumni and current university students offer assistance across all subjects during Homework Club. Teaching staff also assist.
Lego
Students in Lego Club managed a number of projects that are now on display around the Library. Year 7 students will be taking on a new project building a Lego World Map under the supervision of Year 12 student, Cohen Tarzia. This will be wall mounted in the Library when finished.
Book Club
Reading Sophie鈥檚 World is an engaging exercise for keen readers in Years 10 and 11. The novel is opening the way to fascinating discussions about philosophy, the meaning of life, and what we can know. The club will continue in Term 3.
NAIDOC Week
The Library is running a number of special events for NAIDOC Week. While NAIDOC Week runs through the school holidays, we will celebrate next term. There are special topics for Speaker鈥檚 Corner, Aboriginal playlists will feature on our Apple Home Pods, we will focus on Aboriginal literature and film and we have created a LibGuide for teacher and student use. This LibGuide has interesting information about the Aboriginal history of the College site as well as brilliant resources for NAIDOC Week.
Young Adult Collection
Our special Young Adult Collection is now being used frequently by reading classes. We have focussed on resourcing this collection to give younger students a rich choice of books to read. The reading area is well used by Year 7 students who are finding it a quiet place to study and read.
Reading Competition
We ran a 鈥楤est Reader for May Competition鈥. While many students read an impressive number of books, Year 10 student Giselle Hein managed to read nine novels, a staggering number. It was wonderful to see so many avid young readers.
eBoards
Our innovative eboards feature a weekly themed Bookflix, Grammar Tips, inspiration words from Pope Francis, information about Book Club and special themed slide lists for events such as Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week. We have also linked music playlists to our weekly Library Bookflix themes to engage student interest.
Workshops
We ran writing workshops in Term 1 and a staff workshop in Term 2. This was focussed helping teachers work their way around all the services offered by the Library, including a session on ClickView. We will run further sessions in Term 3.
Term 3
Keep an eye out for more exciting initiatives for Term 3. We will feature many more new books, exciting eboards and workshops for students heading into final examinations.

Academic Excellence Program
Last week the AEP students from Years 7-10 had the pleasure of hearing a powerfully engaging speaker who has been offering his wealth of advice and experience to staff and students at the College for the last fifteen years.
Two of the shining lights at Corpus Christi鈥檚 AEP, Hannah Oversby and Mia Watanabe, had these finely crafted words to describe their experience.
Last Thursday, Motivational Speaker Greg Mitchell came to visit the Academic Excellence Students. The focus of his presentation was goal setting, and that every big dream starts with one small step. He also reminded us that we will all experience failure at some point in our life, but it is incredibly important to never give up.
Mr Mitchell explained to us that every huge ambition can be achieved as long as we break it down, and take small steps towards it each and every day. He also taught us a valuable idea; to embrace failure with our head held high. He illustrated to us that instead of being deflated by it, we can use it as a fuel to achieve our aspirations for the future.
The advice he offered will be extremely beneficial for us, as we all work towards different long term goals. Overall, the talk was extremely engaging and informative. We all feel very fortunate for his visit, and we thank Mr Richmond for organising the talk!
Adrian Richmond
Coordinator of Academic Excellence
Languages Club
Last Thursday was the last meeting for Languages Club this term and the theme was France!
To begin, students enjoyed a typical French 驳辞没迟别谤&苍产蝉辫;(afternoon tea) of tartines, pain au chocolat and croissants made with fresh baguettes, French jam, butter and Nutella. Students then tested their knowledge of French food, culture and geography with a Kahoot and prizes for the winners.
Next, it was time to hand out the buzzers for a quick quiz about the various posters and signs of French shops, places and iconic buildings that were decorating the room for more prizes.
To conclude the meeting, we learnt about French words like d茅ja vu, fianc茅 and voil脿 that have become part of the English language and about their origins. Did you know that French was the official Language of England for 300 years from 1066-1362? There is always something new to learn and something fun to do at Languages Club!

Faith in Action
As the Semester nears to a close, it is a great time to reflect upon all the great events that our students have participated in over this time. We have participated in the following activities in Faith in Action (some Core and some Indirect):
Year 7 Quest Retreat + Canned Collection
Project Compassion Launch
Community Mass
Memorial Service for Mrs Payne
Yidarra Welcome Night
Yidarra Tough Mother Event
Card Making on Tuesday Afternoon
Cooking for St Pats on Thursday Afternoon
Relay for Life
Vinnies Sleep Out
Middle School Homeroom Donation Challenge
Another aspect as the Semester draws to a close is thinking 鈥榟ave I completed enough hours during this time? When is the due date for the hours and reflection in Senior School? What should I have participated in? Why did I not鈥as I not organised enough鈥id I not care鈥︹
So, as the holidays begin and a new Semester begins, think what I can participate in, see the Ministry/Service Portal for ideas, but below is a new activity for the Faith in Action Program:
NATSICC Palliative Care Program
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples (ATSI) suffer from the worst health outcomes of any group in Australia. Hospital visits are more frequent and life expectancy is much lower than the Australian average. Many Aboriginal people travel from country regions to access health care services that are provided in Perth.
In many cases, simply staying warm in a location that is very different from their community can be achieved through the provision of a warm blanket. That blanket could also provide emotional comfort through the incorporation of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islands colours.
NATSICC has developed the Palliative Care Packages to ensure comfort, both physically and spiritually.
How can I help?
We need knitted squares (must be 20cm x 20cm), MUST be 8 ply acrylic wool. These then need to be made into blankets (must be 125cm x 112cm).
This is what you will need:
Size 4mm needles
8 ply acrylic yarn
Instructions on how to knit the squares:
Cast on 42 stitches
Knit plain stitch until your square measures 20cm x 20cm
Use earthy or Red, Black and yellow coloured wool

When completed please bring to the Upper Room and see Ms Thomas or Mrs Taylor.

Year 12 Retreat
From Wednesday 23 - Friday 25 June our Year 12s participated in The Year 12 Retreat at one of four locations:
Ern Halliday
Baldivis
Swan Valley
Advent Park
This wonderful experience would not have been able to run without the help of the wonderful staff who gave their time to make the retreat a meaningful experience for our Year 12s. Thank you to the following staff who were ably led by Anita Finneran, Mark Barron and the Ministry team:
Ern Halliday 鈥 Anita Finneran, Michael Royall, James Ramsey, Brooke McGinley and Claudia Laboudeuse.
Baldivis 鈥 Sam Borg, Tessa Johnson, Josh Pauley, Karis Hughes, Shaunnagh Andrewartha and Gemma Wooltorton.
Swan Valley 鈥 Katrina Thomas, Noel Patterson, Lorraine Carpenter, Linda Kenton, Tessa Jenkins and Mark Barron.
Advent Park 鈥 Rowan Platel, Will O鈥機allaghan, Victoria Carway, Phoebe Berndt and Sally Farrington.
Year 12 Retreat Reflections:
Our annual retreats have always been highlights of my time at Corpus, with this year鈥檚 鈥楥orpus Crossroads鈥 retreat being no different. I was lucky enough to spend my time at the Ern Halliday Recreation Camp in Hillarys. It was a beautiful venue serving as a perfect place for personal reflection, and for many of us, a much needed break from the pressures of exams and assessments. Our days consisted of group sharing and reflections, writing and receiving affirmation letters from our friends and family, sunset walks at the beach, exploring Hillarys Harbour, as well as the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
What I loved most about our retreat experience was having the opportunity to build relationships with different people and discovering different sides to them that you wouldn鈥檛 normally have the chance to see.
Special thanks to Mr Royall, Ms Finneran, Ms Laboudeuse, Ms McGinley and Mr Ramsey for being such amazing site teachers (and somehow putting up with us for three days)!
- Kathryn Tan
Baldivis retreat (Camp Cooloongup) was an amazing experience filled with laughter, joy and nurturing our faith. Over this three day period, we developed new friendships with both staff and peers, learnt about our individual journeys and continued to renew our faith through reconciliation. My personal experience of retreat was absolutely incredible, getting to engage with students from all different social groups and understanding my high school adventure. According to multiple sources, everybody thoroughly enjoyed the food and free time, majority of individuals choosing to spend that time, writing warm fuzzies or jumping on the giant inflatable pillow.
- Madi Gibbs
Partaking in retreat at Baldivis was a memorable experience. The three day retreat included times of reflection, peer bonding and just spending time with your mates. The periods of reflection allowed for an insight into our faith and background while touching on aspects of relationships and life journey鈥檚 of the people around us. For majority of the days we were split up into smaller groups allowing for more individual conversations between peers which really helped to form new relationships. The time we had for leisure was complimented perfectly with a wide range of activities at camp Cooloongup, from pool, table tennis, basketball, footy, mini golf and much more. I personally found the small group activities the most enjoyable. This was because we were all able to share past stories and current issues with others around us, where everyone was ready to listen to what someone else had to say. I found that for the short period of three days, i was able to become much closer to the amazing people in my year than I already was. Overall a great experience.

Speak for Faith
Congratulations to Chelsea Fuderer (Year 12) for taking part in the Speak for Faith Final held at Catholic Education Western Australia鈥檚 James Nestor Hall on Saturday 26 June.
In a field of very competent and engaging speakers, Chelsea spoke with knowledge and purpose, delivering a passionate speech regarding community and the engagement young people have with not only their family community, but their faith community as well. The impromptu speech, held directly after, was centred around the topic of 鈥榊ou are the future of the Church in Australia. What will it look like?鈥 Here, Chelsea drew on aspects of her House Patron鈥檚 life and his ability to bring about change, linking this to her ability to bring about change in a world that is becoming increasing secular in its point of view.
Chelsea is to be commended for intertwining aspects of her Year 12 Retreat within this impromptu speech as she sought to make the point that for some young people, their interactions with the Church may diminish significantly once they leave the secondary school environment.
Judging by the number of people that congratulated Chelsea on her speech after the event had concluded, it was very clear what she said had resonated with many.

Curtin 鈥楿niReady鈥 Visit
On Tuesday the Year 11 and 12 'Curtin UniReady' students were treated to a tour of Curtin University.
The day started off with a talk from an Admissions Officer about all of the fantastic course opportunities available at Curtin. The students then participated in a treasure hunt and Q&A session that was organised by the Student Ambassadors, one of which was a Corpus Alumni! Finally, the day ended with an informative Q&A with the Uniready course coordinators, where they provided the students with invaluable study tips.
It was an excellent day that allowed the students an insight into the University lifestyle and the ample opportunities available to them at Curtin.
Careers 台灣UUApp - Jobs of the Future
A revolution is occurring in the world of work.
Over the next decade, almost every job will be affected. Some jobs will disappear entirely. New jobs, not even thought of today, will come into being. We can see this happening already, with fields such as retail, entertainment, health care, manufacturing and education being profoundly affected as technology advances. Some of the drivers fuelling this revolution are: automation, robotics, the internet of things, climate change, globalisation and an ageing and increasing population. Learn more below:
Titration Competition
On Tuesday 22 June between 5.00 - 7.00 pm six enthusiastic Year 12 Chemistry students (two teams) ventured to the Resources and Chemistry Precinct at Curtin University of Technology to compete in WA Titration Competition.
The competition is designed to encourage students who enjoy Chemistry, particularly its practical side, to develop their skills and to reward those who attain a high level of proficiency. Every secondary school in the metropolitan area plus interested country schools was invited to enter two teams consisting of three members each.
The two teams comprised of:
Ella Waddy, Antoni La Rosa and Sanjeev Singh
Victoria Ann Chong, Kathryn Tan and Megan Schutte
Each team had two hours to complete all titrations, carry out all calculations and hand in result sheets. Both of our teams performed well, competed the competition successfully with a high degree of accuracy and we now await the final results.

The Bishops' Religious Literacy Assessment 2021
At the request of the Western Australian Bishops, Year 3, Year 5 and Year 9 students in Catholic schools across Western Australia will take part in The Bishops' Religious Literacy Assessment (BRLA) from the week commencing Monday 26 July in Term Three. The assessment will be accessible to students only online.
Students enrolled in Year 3, Year 5 and Year 9 who are following a regular classroom program are expected to participate. Students with disability are also entitled to participate in the assessment. Exemptions may apply.
The Nature and Role of the BRLA
The Bishops' Religious Literacy Assessment is a large-scale, standardised assessment that consists of a series of Religious Education (RE) tests developed and marked by the Office of Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA). The purpose of the BRLA is to measure student learning of the content in the RE curriculum. Formal school and student reports are produced by the Office and will become available to schools in Term Four.
The BRLA provides a 鈥榩oint in time鈥 snapshot of student performance in RE. Students鈥 knowledge and understanding of the content of the RE curriculum is assessed using a combination of multiple choice, short and extended response items. Students鈥 faith is not assessed. The use of the BRLA complements the school-based assessment programs in RE.
Please contact your child鈥檚 teacher or myself if you have any enquiries regarding the administration of The Bishops' Religious Literacy Assessment.

Year 7 Semester One Review
Semester One has been a challenging time for our current Year 7s as we end the Semester much like we started. Having said that, students have once again shown their resilience and adaptability in responding to the events as they unfold. Highlights of the Semester include:
Transition to Middle School
Inter-house Cross Country Carnival
Inter-house Swimming Carnival
Corpus Christi Day
The Christian Service-Learning Program focusing on Faith in Action
The vast range of extra-curricular activities such as Sport, the Arts and the various clubs
I really would like to congratulate Year 7s on a fine end to the term and for continuing to grow and develop in these unprecedented times. It has been pleasing to see how many students have taken up the opportunity to get involved in the extra-curricular life of the College where students have developed interpersonal skills, made genuine connections across the Year group, pushed their physical boundaries and capabilities, and explored their own creativity.

Head of Year 7
Year 8 Semester One Review
鈥鈥淧ersistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems.鈥鈥
This semester, our Year Eights were definitely provided the chance to work through difficulty. Be it through the rigours of the curriculum or the unfamiliar environment of camp. All students have demonstrated persistence and resilience and must be congratulated.
This semester our students engaged in activities that ignited their spirits and allowed them to served serve as instruments of Gods work.
Year 8 Camp saw our students participate in activities that tested their grit being exposed to difficult weather, difficult activities and difficult social surrounds. The students came back enriched and empowered.
Our themes across the two terms were resilience in Term One and self-control in Term 2. Students grew to understand the importance of looking after themselves and each other as well as understanding some of the gifts their parents had provided to them. These gifts were shared with members of the community through the Christian Service program activities held throughout Term 2.
The semester brought some COVID challenges which tied in well to the theme of resilience displaying students ability to bounce back from adversity. We also spent time in Health lessons, our Pastoral Program and Year assemblies looking at the impact of bullying in our community as well as the real world consequences attached to bullying, harassment and victimisation.
I look forward to students returning in Semester Two, refreshed and re-energised ready to take on the challenges of the year ahead.
Stephen Kingwell
Head of Year 8
Year 9 Semester One Review
Semester One has been a busy one for our Year 9 students. The students have had many opportunities for individual growth and development and it has been pleasing to see them accept the challenges afforded them. Some highlights include:
The Personal Project : Students are halfway through creating / developing/ inventing their projects which will be exhibited at the end of Term 3
The Pastoral Program: Students were reminded of their digital footprint and how to use the internet respectfully, in particular managing the use of their social media accounts. Being 鈥渋nternet aware 鈥
The Duke of Edinburgh Camp: Personal challenge in the Hills of Perth for a small group of Year 9s
The Business Beginnings stalls : Business Beginnings students had the opportunity to showcase their learning through setting up food stalls and raising money for charity.
The myriad of extra-curricular activities through Sport , the Arts , Faith In Action, clubs etc. These offer the students invaluable opportunity to develop their interpersonal skills , fitness, creativity.
The College is pleased to see so many Year 9 students actively involved.

Year 8 Netball
On Wednesday the 23 June the Year 8 Netball girls competed in the High School Cup Elimination Day Carnival at Fremantle Netball Association. It was a tough day on the court, the competition was of a very high standard.
