I moved to Xavier High School in 2017 from a 3 year stint at Norfolk Island Central School. I teach Physics to year 11 and 12, and Science to years 7 to 10.
I enjoy running and bike riding, and have played trombone in large town concert bands, as well as bass guitar in a smaller cover band which played rock and pop music.
I have three children aged 6 months, 3 and 7.

This is in relation to the unit on ratios and rates and students will further investigate speed and travel information using mathematical reasoning to complete the task and demonstrate their understanding.

with the theme for this year being “Find your treasure”. A Treasure Scavenger Hunt was devised that included 15 Questions where participants had to provide photos of the books in the library. The first person to get 100% on their submission received a $50 Dymock voucher, and lucky prize draw to win one of four $20 Dymocks vouchers for the remaining submissions.

A survey was also undertaken on which new books the students would like to see in our library. Each suggestion submitted, was placed in another draw to win one of four $20 Dymocks vouchers.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our Book Week activities, and congratulations to our winners.

At the Rally we met up with people from different areas across Victoria and New South Wales, and had a BBQ and played some games. Then we went into the church and listened and danced to some live music, where Zali Stringer and Chiara Ruhl led the singing, along with the band from Catholic College Wodonga and Sacred Heart Parish. After the music we played a drama game, but our group didn’t win, so I missed out on some chocolate. Then we listened to some speakers, who spoke about how God has worked and continues to work in their lives today, and changed things for the better. After that a few people went up the front and sat down on a panel, including those who had spoken earlier; we were given a phone number to text any questions we had about God and faith. This was good as it was anonymous. We finished the night off with Adoration, followed by more live music and dancing. It was a great night and definitely worth going to.

Volunteers from all walks of life get together to make re-useable ‘boomerang bags’ using recycled materials, as a means to provide a sustainable alternative to plastic bags.The bags are given away to friends, family, colleagues, bagless strangers and so on, as a plastic bag alternative that can be used and reused, or passed on to others in need.

Bring in your old fabric curtains, tablecloths, material etc to the box outside the admin building. Please see Ms Gleeson if you have any questions.

 It is crazy to think that there are only 4 beds available for emergency housing of young people in our area.

including the patterns of change that are evident within the community of the church, the issues confronting the Church…the increase in entrusting responsibility for and leadership of the Church’s mission to laity, and even the changing face of the Episcopate prompt the church to review, analyse, and discern the signs of the times , to listen anew to the Spirit, and to chart its course into the future.
