This edition of Frayne today highlights many rich growth and learning experiences for our students. The activities celebrated highlight the rich opportunities students can engage in. It is always inspiring to see the way our students embrace opportunity.

COLLEGE ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING.

Mr Richard Miles our Council Chair provided the following summary of last week's Advisory Council Meeting:

The College Advisory Council met on Tuesday 28 May 2024. The Council was briefed on core elements of the College’s improvement agenda and the discussion with members of the College’s leadership team was a rich one.

As the College community is aware, there has been progress on a number of fronts. That progress is something to be celebrated. It is clear that there will be noticeable and positive changes to the look and feel of the College over the coming months and moving into 2025.

Decisions are being made with particular regard to responsible and prudent fiscal stewardship. It is also important to note that the meeting was held during Reconciliation Week and the matter of improving cultural awareness and responsiveness was discussed. The Council also considered the matter of improving gender equity in several contexts, including with respect to subject selection in the upper years.

The College was proud to host the annual Catholic Schools Parents and Friends conference on the weekend. The conference highlighted the important role parents provide in supporting Catholic Education Western Australia at a time where funding, resources and society trends challenge Catholic Schools.

The Conference Day was rich in guest speakers and included the following:

Mr Wayne Bull, Executive Director of Catholic Education opened the conference. Mr Bull is a wonderful historian and provided a snapshot of the history of Catholic Education in WA through his personal lens as well as some insight to the challenges to be faced by Catholic Education in the future. Mr Bull also provided detail of the important role Catholic Education plays in supporting education in our state. He particularly referenced remote areas of our state where the only education provided was through Catholic Schooling.

Mr Bull was followed by a panel of politicians and included the Hon Dr Tony Buti (MLA), the Hon Libby Mettam (Leader of the WA Liberal Party and the Hon Donna Faragher (MLC).

The panel answered questions relating to:

• Future funding for Catholic Schools including the possibility of capital development funding
• The impact of social media
• Wellbeing of students and the difficulty of wait times for wellbeing services
• Funding for more inclusive school environments for students with special needs.

The keynote speaker for the day was well renowned psychologist Andrew Fuller. Andrew is always entertaining and continues to challenge how our education systems are curriculum driven rather than outcome driven.

He shared with parents the development needs for children from the time they begin school to graduation. A special part of his presentation was his explanation of the richness of diversity in children and how we can unleash the power of this diversity through education.

The day finished with a panel of educators, parents and three students from our college. It was a proud moment as Year 12 students Wesley, Caitlan and Elijah stole the afternoon session with their responses. Three very different students who responded in different ways to questions on the importance of healthy communication and connection between the school, parents and students.

DIRECTOR LEARNING INNOVATION AND INFORMATION SERVICES

I am delighted to announce that Mr Matthew Hall has been appointed to the position of Director of Learning Innovation and Information Services at the College from Kindergarten to Year 12.

As a member of the extended college leadership team, the role is ultimately responsible for keeping the College at the very forefront of latest technological innovation in education. This involves a deep understanding of the latest educational trends in learning spaces and appropriate technology-related products and devices.

This role will have oversight of how the college can make responsible use of the digital technologies to enhance the good learning that is happening in our classrooms. The role will include oversight of the current College Library services and transformation of our libraries to be hubs for student research and information services.

The Community will know Mr Hall through his collaborative and creative leadership of the Arts Learning Area as well as his engaging and committed teaching of Media at the College.

Matthew will bring great passion and leadership experience to this important aspect of learning. Matthew is currently completing his PHD on artificial intelligence and its possibilities and impact on learning environments. Mathew will transition to this role over Semester Two with the intention to be fully embedded in the role for the start of 2025.

COLLEGE CATERING SERVICES

Throughout the term, we've have had presentations from various groups on ways to improve the catering and canteen services at both campuses. Our goal is to offer the finest quality healthy food options for our students and to establish a communal space for gatherings at Duncan Street.

As a component of the reFRESH Frayne initiative, the cafe facility will undergo enhancements, and a strategy will be implemented to prepare and deliver premium food catering at both the Balmoral and Duncan Street campuses.

A crucial element of this initiative is the appointment of Chef Nic Campbell, who will assume the role of leading the catering services and facilities at the College. Chef Nic will collaborate with our existing staff to develop strategies and procedures to fulfil our objectives. Nic is initiating this process with the goal of fully implementing our new catering model by the beginning of 2025.

A special part of the process will be working with our students to name the cafe and canteen areas on both campuses to help inspire an identity with the service.

As we enter the latter part of Semester One we continue to progress our College Improvement agenda. Prior to the end of term two our goals are to have:

• Began our reFRESH Frayne project to enhance Duncan Street campus learning spaces.
• Finalised recommendations for a reviewed secondary timetable.
• Began feasibility studies for the renewed Capital Development Plan.
• Finalised recommendations for our K - 12 House structure.
• Finalised recommendations for our pastoral and organisational structures for year 7 to 12.
• New busses on site.
• Started to implement new procedures for college catering services.
• Consolidated leadership roles to support students with special needs and Digital Innovation at the College K - 12.
• Began the after and before care school program at Balmoral.

On the Innovation Incursion Day, Year 9 students participated in an innovation design challenge on the topic of mental health to develop their innovation, creativity and collaboration skills. The incursion was facilitated by Bloom, Centre for Youth Innovation, and involved community partners from Town of Victoria Park, Youth Focus and Headspace. Well done to all of the students for working together to create solutions for a real-world challenge.

Firstly, we would like to acknowledge Father Nick who confirmed the students on the day. We would also like to thank all the teachers who came to our Confirmation to support. Congratulations to all those who were confirmed on the night and may you all continue your faith journey.

On Tuesday 28 May all Year 10 students participated in a career development day. Career development activities are designed for students to reflect on their unique strengths and interests and how they may relate to the future education, training and occupational opportunities available to them.

Some students attended the University of Western Australia participating in a lecture, laboratory experience and campus orientation activities. Other students attended Yalagan Training completing their White Card health and safety training and a rail simulator career taster program. Some students also visited South Metro TAFE facilities to see their specialised programs for students with a disability.

Ross Proctor, Connie Higgs and Katie Dewar represented the College at the Archbishops Lifelink Launch at Anamore Catholic College on Thursday 16 May. Lifelink helps to support agencies such as Shopfront, Daydawn Advocacy Centre and the Emmanuel Centre. The students had the opportunity to meet with students from other Catholic schools, listen to presentations from Archbishop Timothy Costelloe, Vicar General Fr Vincent Glynn and Deacon Mark Powell and participate in interactive activities to help build a culture of understanding and support for the needy and marginalised in our community. Ursula Frayne has been a long-term supporter of Lifelink and was awarded a plaque in recognition of this that the students presented to College Vice Principal Jessica Bouwman.

On Wednesday 22 May, Frayne participated in National Simultaneous Storytime, an annual event organised by the Australian Library and Information Association, where schools and libraries across Australia will read the same book at the same time (or close enough). This year's book is the lovely "Bowerbird Blues" by Aura Parker.

Year 2 Red read the story with our special guest reader, College Principal Mr Antulov in the library.

Constable Care theatre-in education themes have been derived from an expressed community need, and developed in consultation with experts in education, child safety, and harm prevention.

'Screen Name' taught our Junior School students about the more serious dangers of the cyber world and how to make safe decisions online.

Through the interactive playbacks and discussions within the Incursion, students learnt how to make safer decisions online and practice supportive and help seeking behaviours.

This term the Year 1 students are learning about the Earth, weather and seasons in Science. To help the students gain a deeper understanding of these topics the students visited Scitech!

The excursion included:

• Planetarium Show: Tilt
• Puppet Theatre Show: A Fishy Problem
• Discoverland: Simple Machines
• General Exhibition Free Time

The day was full of fun and learning. The Year 1s had an incredible day!

Our Year 9 students have embarked on a culinary journey, creating delicious dishes from across the globe as part of the ‘Frayne Eats’ initiative. This exciting project involved the students preparing and delivering their culinary creations to various staff members around the campus.

Before the final delivery in Week 7, the students conducted a trial run to ensure that their dishes met the highest quality standards. This extra step paid off, as the feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive.

The dedication and hard work displayed by our Year 9 students throughout this project have been truly commendable. Their enthusiasm and effort have resulted in a fantastic outcome, showcasing their growing culinary skills and teamwork.

Well done to all involved in making Frayne Eats a resounding success!

The Year 8/9 Boys Eagles Cup team had a challenging yet rewarding season this year. Despite facing some tough competition, the boys showed incredible spirit and determination in every game.

The season began with a series of hard-fought matches against some tough competition. The boys played competitively against Darling Range Sports College, Swan Christian College, and Eastern Hills SHS. Although these matches ended in losses, the team displayed great resilience and improvement with each game, never giving up and always striving to put their best foot forward. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the final game against St Norbert’s College. In a thrilling display of teamwork and skill, the boys dominated the match, securing a resounding victory by 10 goals. This fantastic finish showcased their growth and leaving everyone with a sense of pride and accomplishment. Lastly a massive thank you to Mr Maher, Mr Tassone and Miss Crellin for their support and coaching throughout the season.

Commencing Tuesday 4 June, the changes include:

• Route 38- Will now depart five minutes earlier at 3.33pm from Stop 14448 (Harper St Ursula Frayne Catholic College).
• Route 930- Will operate a new school days only trip, departing at 3.35pm from Stop 14448 (Harper St Ursula Frayne Catholic College).

Transperth hopes this will alleviate some of the congestion at the boarding area on Shepperton Rd. They will continue to monitor the boarding area following the changes as further interventions may still be required.

The information of the service changes will be available on the Transperth website.
