The Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition – celebrate 160 years!

  • May 23, 2015
  • Tania Thuijs
  • · News · Year 3

The Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition (founded by St Emilie de Vialar) celebrate their 160 year Anniversary this year, after first arriving here in WA on the Lady Amherst in 1855!

This morning our Year Three class paid tribute to the Sisters by reciting a poem we wrote for them and by singing the song ‘My God’ to our special guests.

Dressed in their habits, the girls of course stole our hearts!

DSC_1418

This item was followed by morning tea, where we were able to personally thank again the wonderful women, who have done so much good, serving the needs of many different people, for so many years.

We feel very humbled indeed to pay tribute to each and every one of the Sisters, both past and present, and we are grateful for the example of genuine Christian service they have shown. Good people, putting the Gospel message into action!

While the Sisters are getting older, with few to take their place in religious life, it is of course our prayer that our young will be inspired by the Sisters example to go out and serve others in ways that make a real difference also.

Below is the poem the children shared!

We’ve been talkin about

‘sustain-a-bility’

and how protecting  our environment’s important….

you see…

God created our world

For us all to enjoy

And it really needs the care

Of every girl and boy!

Did someone say CARE?

Yeah!

Why do you ask?

Well the Sisters of St Joseph

had-a-very-big –task …

In 1855, they had a

special mission –

these were the Sisters

of the Appa-rition!

Arriving in Freo –

on the ‘Lady Am-herst’,

They made the choice

to put their loving God first!

The Swan River Settlement,

just 20 years old

Four French sisters

stepped ashore, we are told.

Oh the times were tough

and the people were poor

The young sisters themselves

had to beg-from-door-to-door.

Their goal was to give

each child an edu-cation

They knew this calling –

was part-of-their-vocation!

For many long years

these nuns and many more

Opened lots of schools

served the sick and served the poor.

 

The hope in people’s hearts

they helped to sustain –

They worked to spread God’s Word

by sharing people’s pain.

From Northam back to Freo

Kalamunda, Albany –

The sisters sacrificed so much

To let-their-love-flow free!

Hilton Park and Spearwood,

Mount Barker, Beagle Bay,

Cunderdin, Medina

all these towns, they found their way.

So this-is-why-we honour –

these sisters here today

They’ve helped so many people

in so many special ways.

They’ve taught us to be humble,

kind and generous too

They’ve taught us to serve others –

as Jesus wants us to.

So thank you all dear sisters,

for being here today

Thank you for the time you’ve given

and now we hope and pray…

That God will hold you gently

each day, your whole life through

And God will guide your footsteps-

His light will shine on you.

Time to end this rhyming poem

But first we made a pact –

To sing you all a little song

from the movie, Sister Act!

 

We hope you all enjoy it –

The words all really say,

That life is so much better

When we hope and trust and pray!

 

A great Listen!

In this recording we hear Sister Marietta and Sister Elizabeth Rose speak on ABC radio about the history of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition along with some of their own memories of their time in the Albany region.

A GROWTH Mindset – how Mums and Dads can help!

  • May 14, 2015
  • Tania Thuijs
  • · From the Principal · Kindy · Pre-Primary · Year 1 · Year 2 · Year 3 · Year 4 · Year 5 · Year 6

 

Today Mr Greg Mitchell spent the day at St Emilie’s in our specialist classrooms and then after school with staff to share some valuable professional development.

One of the many interesting ideas we explored was the importance of supporting children (and ourselves as adults) to develop a GROWTH mindset.

growth mindset

Research shows that a student’s belief about their intelligence plays an important role in their school achievement, and that parents and teachers can positively influence the development of these beliefs.

Students who believe their intelligence is simply a fixed trait fare more poorly, especially as school becomes more challenging, than students who believe their intellectual abilities can grow. When students are taught the growth-oriented view—they show an increase in their enjoyment of learning and in their grades.

What can parents do?

Praise the process – children’s effort or strategies—creates eagerness for challenges, persistence in the face of difficulty, and enhanced performance.

Next time you are tempted to tell your child that he or she is the next Einstein or future Picasso, stop yourself. Instead, take the time to appreciate the effort they put into their work, not what the work means about their innate brains or talent.

Ask them how they went about something and show them how you appreciate their choices, their thinking process, or their persistence.

Ask them about strategies that didn’t work and what they learned from them.

When they make mistakes, use these mistakes as an opportunity for teaching them to come up with new strategies.

When they do something quickly, easily, and perfectly, do not tell them how great they are. Tell them, “I’m sorry I wasted your time on something too easy for you. Let’s do something more challenging that you can learn from.”

Look for ways to convey your valuing of effort, perseverance, and learning—rather than some empty display of ability. Instead of false confidence in fixed ability, these methods will foster a deeper  appreciation for the true ingredients of achievement.

It is now abundantly clear that brains and talent alone don’t bring success. The work of Benjamin Bloom and of Anders Ericsson shows clearly that people of outstanding accomplishment—be it in science, the arts, or athletics–are often no more talented than many of their peers. In fact, their peers who seemed most brilliant at the start often turned out to achieve very little. This is most likely because, believing too much in the power of their brains and talent, they did not put in the effort that all great accomplishment requires.

In short, believing in brains or talent as something fixed and all-powerful works against long-term success in school, careers, and life in general.

Talking to your children about their brain being like a muscle – the more they use it, the stronger it gets is a great way to go!

Let’s all become more mindful about HOW and WHAT we say to our children so that we can develop a GROWTH MINDSET in school and in life!

Dear Families,

Please click on the links below to access the Year Three Purposeful Practice grid for week 5 and any other resources that may be needed to complete purposeful practice in week 5. Please note, there is no purposeful practice grid for week 4 as NAPLAN week does not require students to complete purposeful practise tasks.

Here is the link to the Purposeful Practice Grid for printing:
Purposeful Practice – Week 5 – Year Three

Here is the link to the: Sustainability video:

Here is the link to the ‘100 things to do before you leave St Emilie’s with each grid’:

Have a great week.

Dear Mums and Grandmothers,

After the Year 2 assembly this Friday 8th May at 8.45am, you are invited to a simple morning tea in the lesser hall, from about 9.20-10am – a lovely opportunity for a cuppa, cake and a chat with friends and an opportunity to perhaps make a new one!

Feel free to bring littlies (perhaps bringing some toys and a rug might be a good idea too!)

Any Dads that would like to come and help serve coffee and cake, you would be very welcome!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

PS : PP Mums – you are then going to be pampered by your little darlings back in the classroom at 10.00am 🙂
