DEAR PARENTS, GUARDIANS, STUDENTS & STAFF

It has certainly been a huge few weeks for our College and students. Lots of activity and engagement for our students and many exciting developments for the College.


Last Monday it was announced by Federal Education Minister, Jason Clare and WA Education Minister, Tony Buti that our school is participating in a cross-sectoral generative AI pilot. Our College (K - 12) has been chosen as one of two CEWA schools to be involved and presents a wonderful opportunity for us.


This is a cross-sectoral initiative with involvement from the Department of Education, Catholic Education of Western Australia, Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia and the School Curriculum and Standards Authority.


The pilot will explore the use of generative AI to reduce workload for teachers in planning teaching and learning activities aligned to the mandatory curriculum. In the first phase, teachers from our school will test and train a generative AI tool as part of a proof of concept.


This is an exciting opportunity, positioning our college at the forefront of using emerging technology. I will have more information to share on what this might look like in the coming weeks.


The link to the joint media statement is below:

TOWARDS 2025

One of the key review projects in semester one was the secondary timetable.


The reviewed timetable will have a number of benefits including:


  • Increasing length of lessons
  • Less student movement between classes
  • Double periods for PE lessons
  • Development of age-appropriate pastoral/social/emotional program
  • Dedicated time for assemblies and college gatherings.
  • The daily earlier finish will facilitate afterschool activities both onsite and offsite.


The key decisions made for implementation in 2025 are:


  • The secondary timetable will consist of a six-period day.
  • A weekly pastoral period will be introduced to the timetable.
  • There will be consistent start and end time each day.
  • The secondary school day will start at 8.30am for Homeroom.
  • The secondary school day will conclude at 3.10pm each day.
  • There will be no early finish on Thursdays.

COLLEGE ENHANCEMENTS

I am always excited by the progress with our reFRESH Frayne Project. Our aim is by end of 2025 is to have all learning spaces at the College meeting a minimum standard. This includes painting, new carpet, new lighting and repair of anything broken. Each learning space will also have a minimum standard of technology.


Term 4 will greet our students with the reFRESH of six classrooms with rooms G01, G02, G03, 101, 102, 103 being the first phase of classrooms refurbished. All going well the work should be completed for the start of term 4.


The library will also get a fresh paint treatment, lighting upgrade and a new Service Desk will be installed. This is the first phase of transforming our library.


As the reFRESH project continues it is an opportunity for all our community to strengthen our culture of ensuring we keep things tidy, maintained and safe. I am looking forward to everyone working together to bring our classrooms and spaces back to their former glory and our students developing a strong culture of care and respect for facilities.


HOUSE REVIEW K - 12

The House Review Committee meets this week to continue discussions on House Names. The group will work to a Terms of Reference paper to guide discussion on Naming of Campuses, Houses, Buildings and Spaces.


FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

Over the past weeks a number of important meetings have taken place to explore future programs at our College.


Medical Study Pathway

We are facilitating a future partnership with the Australian Medical Association to set up a simulation lab at the College. This will enable the college to offer students certified courses in the Medical Industry. The program will be piloted in term 4 with the intention to embed at the College in 2025. Thank you to Dr Michael Openshaw for his support and commitment to bring this program to life.


Aboriginal Education

Last week we had meetings with CEWA and Madalah regarding possibilities with enhancing our Aboriginal Education programs and cultural awareness at the College. We are excited by the possibilities of partnering with CEWA and Madalah. Thank you to Mrs Sarah Quin for her support and passion for this project.


Life skills and Enterprise

Recent meetings with the Town of Victoria Park have also presented possibilities for possible enterprise education and LifeSkill programs for our students. This has included the possibility of setting up a recycling enterprise off site. We still have lots of work to do with this project, but I am confident with continued work we will create something unique for our students with special needs.


All the best for the week ahead.

For your children | Mark Antulov | Principal

HOLA K - 12 Performing Arts

I am pleased to announce that Mr Andrew Hislop has been appointed to the position of HOLA Performing Arts K - 12. Andrew will bring depth and breadth to the experiences at our College.


He has a history developing Music and Arts programs. Andrew has a love for musicals and is well networked to St George's Cathedral and WAAPA. His gentle, calm nature and his passion to create inclusive performing arts programs will be wonderful for our students.


I am confident Andrew will share his great leadership and musical gifts with our College community. Andrew will start formerly in 2025, but we hope we can start some transition in the second half of Term 4.

SPEAKING FOR FAITH

The Speaking for Faith Public Speaking competition concluded on Saturday morning with Wesley West presenting two amazing speeches.


Wesley commanded the room and left a lasting impression with his speech about the Church’s response to domestic violence and an exemplary impromptu speech responding to school engagement activities related to Church's response to environmental issues.


Congratulations Wesley on this incredible achievement and thank you to Justine and Sarah for their help coaching Wesley. It was also great to have Isaac take time on a Saturday to attend and support.

WRITE A BOOK IN A DAY

If you would like to donate to any of our note-worthy (pun intented) teams, please follow the links below. So far over $9,000 has been raised but the kids would love to keep that tally rising. All donations contribute to a worthy cause, supporting research into children’s cancer.

YEAR 10 AFL ACC CARNIVAL

The Year 10 AFL ACC Carnival was held at Frankland Park on Wednesday 31 July.


The boys had an impressive start, winning their first two games against All Saints College and Aranmore Catholic College, with strong performances and solid teamwork. However, their winning streak was halted in the final game when we faced a La Salle side which proved too strong on the day. Despite the tough loss, the team’s efforts, sportsmanship and skill throughout the carnival were commendable and showcased their potential for future competitions.


Best players on the day included Leo Newman, Riley Morris, Jordan Escalante, Jackson Grosse and Jin Hong.

MINI FACTION CAPTAINS

The Year 2 class teachers, Mr Nguy and I were all delighted that students from each of the year level classrooms self-nominated for the role of Mini Faction-Captain last week. It was wonderful to see the eagerness they showed in putting themselves forward and having a go. We certainly heard some very well thought out speeches/presentations. Well done everyone!


Congratulations to the following students who were elected by their peers to be our Mini Faction Captains for 2024:


Blue (Edmund Rice): Sofia Howard and Bastian Bernhardt

Gold (Clare Buggy): Mitchell Szigligeti and Sasson Perera

Green (John Bosco): Abigail Barker and Arlo Campos

Red (Catherine McAuley): Henry Riggs and Lacey Winsor


As ‘Mini Captains’ they will enjoy some of the responsibilities associated with their role in the weeks leading up to our Sports Carnival on Thursday 5 September. This includes helping Mr Nguy set up the necessary sport equipment for the Year 2 games during Physical Education lessons as well as initiating further practice at lunch times amongst students.


During the Carnival they will be encouraged to be active in the faction bays by leading the cheering, assisting the teachers and setting an example of expected behaviour for other students to follow.

REDEMPTORIST MATER SEMINARY EXCURSION

On Wednesday 7 August, three students in Years 10 and 11 attended an excursion to the Redemptorist Mater Seminary in Morley. The purpose of the day was to gain some insight into the life of a seminarian and priest. In the students’ own words:


“This was the best excursion that I have ever been to and I look forward to attending this again next year.”


“I developed a profound sense of understanding about the meaning of God's purpose in my life and what it means to be a Catholic.”


“The insight into the lives of the seminarians, which were honestly normal, funny people, led me to an understanding of how I can be a better Catholic.”


The day was catered for and served by the seminarians, and much to the sadness of the resident semi-professional soccer player, the inclement weather meant the day ended with a game of pool instead of ending with a game of soccer.

CATHEDRAL OUTREACH

Every term, staff and students at the College support Shopfront and St Mary’s Cathedral parish members doing outreach work in the evenings.


We gather to prepare a meal for people who are lonely or sleeping rough and want to come in to the foyer of the Cathedral to receive a meal and some hospitality.


This lovely group of Year 12 students will be helping this term as part of their Christian Service Learning and their commitment to creating a positive difference in the world.

INCLUSIVE SOCCER CARNIVAL

On Friday 2 August the GO8 Students were excited to go a Soccer Carnival. The students went to Pat Goodrich Reserve to play against the other schools, such as Sacred Heart, Mercedes College and La Salle College.


Our students were split up into three teams named Ursula United, Frayne Football Club, and Real UFCC. Everyone was excited to play and show off their skills against the other schools but the main focus was on having fun. The three teams of Ursula Frayne won a few of their games, but unfortunately were not able to win the competition.


The GO8 Students had help from students Joshua Peiris (Year 10), Charlotte Green (Year 10), Jordan Joseph (Year 10), Stevie Middlebrook (Year 10), Joe Keeley (Year 10) and Ethan Fair (Year 12), who all took time out of their busy school schedule to help the teachers make sure that the GO8 students would have fun in their soccer games.


We would like to congratulate those in GO8 and all those involved in making sure that this day was a special day.

LUCA IANNANTUONI | 4R


Congratulations to Luca, who was announced as the Aussie of the Month for July.


Luca demonstrates the college value of Respect. He is always trying to do his best and will encourage his peers to achieve the same. Luca is genuinely happy for others when they succeed. He is reliable and helpful and will do what he can if he sees another student needing assistance. Luca always has a kind word to say and a warm smile to match. He makes the 4Red classroom a great place to be part of because of his presence.


Luca showed resilience and courage when he recently did an oral presentation on ‘How to Make Macaroons’, despite having gone through a lot of dental work. His replacement teacher for the term Mrs Debuf, said Luca made her feel very welcomed and happy to be in his classroom from her very first day.


Luca is a very worthy recipient of this award.

The Fathering Project - Expressions of Interest

Friends of Frayne would like to launch a new Dads Group program at our college in partnership with The Fathering Project.


The Fathering Project is an evidence-based organisation that aims to promote positive fathering behaviours and fathers’ engagement with their school aged children, be it Primary or Secondary school age. The dad’s program will provide opportunities for:


  • Dads and father-figures to engage with their children in fun and interactive activities each term.
  • Meeting other dads.
  • Building stronger parent partnerships in support of student wellbeing and learning.



We wish to assemble a team of enthusiastic and committed DAD VOLUNTEERS to help launch the program. The team will then lead and coordinate the Dads Group using tools and resources from The Fathering Project and will work with The Fathering Project Team for support.


This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to our school community.


For expressions of interest and to find out more, please contact Nikki Middleton, President, Friends of Frayne.

Sign the Perth Redbacks Petition

In our most ambitious campaign to date, on behalf of our community and the indoor sporting community of Perth more broadly, we have launched a campaign to achieve a new 12-court stadium for Perth.


We need a home ground. We need a single location for our clubs, teams, players and fans.


We also know that, beyond our needs, the indoor court situation in Perth is at a critical stage.


Too many young sportspeople from many sports are missing out. Too many sporting groups, clubs and associations, like ours, are stretched thin over dozens of small venues.


The time for action is now. We must work together.


We are taking decisive action and have launched a public campaign calling for a new stadium in Perth. This campaign aims to raise awareness of the issues facing indoor sports clubs and teams in the inner metropolitan region and provide a solution that will have a positive, long-term impact. We’re asking everyone with an interest and passion for sport, including players, coaches, referees, fans, administrators, community groups, and schools, to sign our petition.


With the support of our local member, the Hon Hannah Beazley MLA, we intend to present this petition to the WA Parliament in mid-August.


We’re calling for funding and land to make real our vision for a new stadium for Perth.


A place to call home.
