From the Principal - Issue #6, 2025

Dear Parents/Guardians, Friends & Students of SAC,

The last few weeks of Term 1 have been exciting as we shared with the world plans for the new vertical primary school in the heart of the College. With the development now well underway, it has been great to spread the enthusiasm for this project across the wider community. It also helps us to manage the inconvenience that is inevitable with any development, knowing that the end result will make it all worthwhile.

Many of our students and their families have been fasting for the holy month of Ramadan. It was a privilege to attend the 2025 Iftar Dinner for School Captains and Student Leaders on Monday 14 March, hosted by Pinnacle College, with Year 12 SRC Executive members Clodeta and Retha. At the dinner, we heard from community leaders and politicians, who celebrated the cultural and religious diversity within our SA schools and called on everyone present to use their leadership roles to promote inclusion and equity. We hope that all the Muslim families within our community who marked Eid-ul Fitr last week will enjoy this period of coming together to celebrate peace and prosperity.

Year 11 student Yenuli Perera was awarded the Zonta SA Young Women in Leadership Award for the Adelaide/Torrens District at a ceremony at Government House on Wednesday, March 26. Yenuli applied for this award independently, encouraged by Justice and Mercy Coordinator Maddie Kelly. The award recognises Yenuli’s extensive contribution to a range of community service activities, both within the school and in the wider community. We are so proud of Yenuli and grateful for all that she does to promote justice and mercy here at SAC. Here is an excerpt from Yenuli’s application that highlights the work that Yenuli does beyond SAC:

"Outside of school I have been involved in Youth Parliament. This experience really helped me to grow as both a leader and a person. I was able to meet people from diverse backgrounds and with different personalities. I was in the indigenous affairs and reconciliation committee, and we created a bill to help with the restoration of indigenous artifacts. I am also highly involved in our Sri-lankan youth group known as Muthuhara. Together we organise a range of events for us to socialise and raise funds. In 2024 we raised over $10,000 AUD by hosting a talent show to raise funds to build toilet facilities in a rural school in Sri-Lanka. Last year I became the president of Muthuhara, showing my high involvement in this group. In the past I have also raised money with the assistance of my family and friends to help girls in an orphanage. With the money I was able to gift them food, clothes, books and other essential items. I was also involved in a food festival in 2023 to raise money to buy insulin valves for those affected by the political unrest which had detrimental impacts on healthcare."

The SAC Open Night brought together past, present and future SAC students and their families to tour the school, interact with staff and gain an insight into the breadth of experiences on offer at the College. Thanks to the many students and families who attended. Our students are our greatest advertisement – they radiate the confidence that makes this the school of choice for so many families. We thank the staff who support every student to flourish for their generosity and commitment in welcoming guests to Open Night and shining a light on the magic of SAC.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe school holiday period,

Ms Paddy McEvoy
Principal

The Colours of Mercy on Bright Show!

The colours of Mercy were on bright show on Wednesday as the whole SAC community walked, ran, jumped and danced its way around the Colour Fun Run circuit in Victoria Park (Pakapakanthi)! The best part is, wonderful charities with close ties to our Mercy values benefit from funds raised thanks to students' generous sponsors. We are grateful to all who have supported, spreading the colour and joy to our friends at Catherine House, Vinnies Women's Crisis Centre and Sister Janet Mead's Adelaide Day Centre for Homeless Persons. There's still time to donate via the follwoing link if you haven't already! 

TOGETHER WE RAISED OVER $10,000!

A heartwarming end to Term 1 with our Primary Assembly, proudly hosted by Year 1 and Year 3 students

From creative mandalas and science experiments to persuasive writing and joyful singing, our students shared the incredible learning and fun from this term. Year 1 wowed us with their maths knowledge, beautiful prayers, and a sneak peek into their epic PJ party! Year 3 impressed with their engaging writing, artistic skills, and curious minds in the science lab.

Assemblies like these remind us how special it is to come together as a community and celebrate the growth and achievements of our students. A special thank you to our Primary Choir for closing the assembly with such a beautiful and touching performance. 

Mercy Links with Montessori Stand the Test of Time

Mercy Light: Connecting

At first glance, on paper, Catherine McAuley and Maria Montessori don’t seem to have a great deal in common; however, Catherine, the Irish foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, and Maria, an Italian physician who was born 20 years after Catherine’s death, shared similar educational philosophies that would nurture and transform learning all over the world. Both women worked with marginalised communities and believed that, if given the right conditions, people facing challenges could thrive.

St Aloysius College Montessori, 1940s

Chancery Lane Montessori, 2024/25

Given this context, it’s unsurprising that St Aloysius College, steeped in Catherine’s Mercy tradition, and Chancery Lane Montessori, would share the same space – it’s because, while there are distinct differences, there is a similar spirit and approach to nurturing lifelong learners.

SAC’s earliest annual magazines from the 1940s are dotted with black-and-white photographs of toddlers in the College grounds; a room near The Cloisters was home to one of Adelaide’s first Montessori learning centre. Over 15 years, the north-eastern corner of the College has been home to Chancery Lane Montessori; a number of recent SAC graduates can recall their earliest years as pupils there, peering through the fence at the ‘big girls’ on the other side, in the SAC schoolyard.

For many families, the pathway from Chancery Lane Montessori to SAC is smooth – and that’s not just because it’s so close by. Rebeka, mother of Zara P who is now in Year 4 describes it the transition as, “seamless.”

“We wanted Zara’s first learning experience to feel like an extension of home—safe, nurturing and aligned with our family values,” Rebeka shares. “Finding a Montessori environment that fed so beautifully into a primary school like SAC gave us the confidence we were doing what was best for her future.”

Recalling Zara’s first day of school at SAC, Rebeka shares, "Zara was a little nervous, but she walked in with confidence, and left on day one with a beaming smile.”

When children transition from early years at Chancery Lane, to Reception at SAC, they’re already familiar with the ‘big girls’ environment on the other side of the fence. Primary Coordinator, Abby Matte, says that the range of activities Chancery Lane children participate in helps them to feel, “at home.”

Montessori and Reception students at SAC transitioning; Year 4 student Zara, pictured in the middle with her peers.

“We welcome the children into the College for significant events, such as Book Week, Science Week and Careers Week. The children love their weekly sessions in the Catherine McAuley Library, and each year on Mercy Day, they host an adorable cookies stall. They are always excited to join us for Can Drive too, creating sculptures out of canned foods that are then donated to Sister Janet Mead’s Adelaide Day Centre!”

As well as larger community events, youngsters at Chancery Lane are also welcomed to SAC for twice-yearly Discovery Days, where they personally connect with specialist teachers in classroom environments.

“Parents have the opportunity to come in and share the experience of watching their little ones engage with our educators, connect with other children, and interact with fellow families. It offers a beautiful snapshot of what we provide here in a school setting. While the children are still little, we create an environment that mirrors a real classroom experience—multi-modal, nurturing, and engaging. Our older girls also join in to help, building those wonderful cross-age connections that we pride ourselves on at SAC," Ms Matte explains.

With Zara’s family now firmly a part of the SAC community, her mother reflects warmly on their journey.

“We love the SAC community—there’s a real sense of care and belonging here. From leadership and teachers to fellow families, it’s a place where we feel seen and supported. Plus, the variety in learning experiences is amazing—it's setting our children up to be confident, independent young people ready for the world ahead.”

At its core, the partnership between Chancery Lane Montessori and St Aloysius College is about more than academic preparation. It’s about building connection, instilling confidence, and creating a continuum of care and curiosity that stays with children long after they’ve left a formal learning environment.

Catherine McAuley and Maria Montessori lived during different times and in different parts of the world, but their visions merge at SAC and Chancery Lane, where education isn’t just about what students learn—it’s about who they become.

Catholic Education SA's Thriving People Day

Catholic Education SA's Thriving People Day is an opportunity for First Nations students to connect with culture, community and each other. This year for the first time, secondary and primary students attended the same day. It was a wonderful experience for our seniors and juniors to interact and share their stories, learn from one another, and build lasting friendships.

From the International Students Coordinator

Yuha’s Victory Swim!

A huge congratulations to Yuha Watanabe on securing first place in the Year 10 breaststroke heat! Wishing you continued success on your swimming journey!

Stars of the Stage Shine Bright!

Congratulations to Yuha, Aika and Kie from Ms Lucy Combe’s drama class for their outstanding performance in the drama showcase! Their dedication, talent, and expressive acting truly brought the story to life, captivating the audience. It was inspiring to see their passion and hard work shine on stage. Thank you for sharing your creativity and cultural perspective.

Bringing Japanese Tradition to Life with Wini & Yummi

Wini and Yummi from 10SL organised engaging activities for their home class, introducing students to the traditional Japanese game Fukuwarai (Lucky Laughing). This fun and interactive game brought lots of laughter while offering a glimpse into Japanese culture. Additionally, the Japanese students shared a thoughtful gesture by gifting origami cranes, symbolising peace and good fortune. A big thank you to Wini and Yummi for fostering cultural exchange and making learning enjoyable.

Celebrating Cultural Connections

Ms McEvoy, Ms Maiello, and Ms Li bid farewell to our short-term Japanese international students! It has been a wonderful term with you, and we truly appreciate the cultural exchange, friendships, and special memories. Wishing you all the best in your future studies.

Celebrating Cultural Exchange: Hosting Japanese Study Tours

This term, we had the incredible pleasure of hosting three groups of students from Japan on study tours. This enriching experience has been invaluable in forging strong friendships and fostering intercultural understanding and appreciation.

The success of these tours is largely due to the warm welcome our guests received from their classmates and teachers. A special shout-out goes to our amazing student buddies, whose dedication and the special relationships they built made these tours truly memorable and positive experiences.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making these study tours a success. The bonds we've formed and the cultural insights we've gained will stay with us for a lifetime.

Friendship Bracelets and Bonds: Year 8 Welcomes Sundai Kofu High School

In Weeks 7 and 8, we had the pleasure of welcoming 16 enthusiastic students from Sundai Kofu High School for a memorable four-day study tour. Our Year 8 cohort warmly embraced their new friends, and it was heartwarming to see strong friendships blossom.

Throughout their stay, our overseas guests were supported by their amazing SAC buddies, who guided them through classes and ensured they felt right at home. A standout moment of their visit was making friendship bracelets together, symbolizing the bonds formed between our Australian and Japanese students.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 8 students for their hospitality and the wonderful connections they've made. Here's to more enriching cultural exchanges in the future!

Cultural Connections: Year 9's Memorable Japanese Study Tour

We were thrilled to host five wonderful students from Mejiro Kenshin High School who joined our Year 9AB and 9CW classes for an exciting two-day study tour. The classrooms were filled with laughter as our Japanese visitors bonded with their Australian classmates, learning about school life and culture here in Australia.

A huge thank you to all the students and teachers who warmly welcomed our guests. Your kindness and hospitality made their experience truly special. A special thankyou to the five amazing student buddies for their reliable support throughout the visit, ensuring our guests felt right at home.

Strong Friendships and Sad Farewells

Over the past three weeks, our Year 10 cohort had the incredible opportunity to warmly welcome 20 amazing students from St Capitanio Girls School in Japan. During this time, we've seen strong friendships blossom and a deep appreciation for each other's cultures grow. Some unforgettable highlights include:

• Fridays spent in the primary classrooms, sharing laughter and learning
• Cheering together at the SAC Swimming Carnival
• Fascinating presentations about Japan by our St Capitanio friends
• A fun-filled farewell pizza party
• The heartfelt farewell ceremony, filled with joyous singing and dancing

As we bid our new friends farewell, we wish them safe travels back home. Though they may be leaving, the strong bonds and lasting memories we've created will stay with us forever.

Reflections from our student buddies:

"This Thursday, students had the exciting opportunity to engage in a cultural exchange with our visiting Japanese students during Presentation Day. It was a fantastic experience filled with insights into Japanese traditions, pop culture, and iconic entertainment. Our guests shared fascinating presentations on Japanese food, J-Pop, traditional patterns, Studio Ghibli, and the beloved character Doraemon. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they introduced us to different aspects of their culture. The exchange of ideas and experiences truly highlighted the strong connection between our schools." Daniela

"Being a buddy is truly rewarding. The connection you make with that person is so special. I now have a much boarder understanding of Japan and life as a student in Japan. I have made many memories these last few weeks that I will treasure forever." Raven

"I had a fun time getting to know my buddy during these past three weeks, she was such great company! I very much enjoyed all the activities we've done, and simply spending time together and asking questions about Japan may have been my favourite part of the whole experience. My buddy's presentation on Japanese patterns and the Pizza Party were highlights. Hope you have a safe trip back, Minori!" Isabella

Year 1 Students Discover History at the State Library

This term, Year 1 students have been learning about past and present daily life as part of the HASS curriculum. To support their learning students went on a tour of the State Library of South Australia to explore, discover and reflect on artefacts from the past.

STUDENTS REFLECTED:

“At the entrance of the State Library there was a real car. There was a cardboard one to sit in and take a picture. We saw three cars and a Holden sign made out of Lego.” Scout

“We went to the Mortlock Library. We saw some old games and we saw some old maps too. Pin The Tail on the Donkey used to be called The Tail-Less Donkey. There were three levels. The top two are filled with old books.” Onara

“It was fun decorating bookmarks and reading picture books at the State Library.” Emma

“We went on the first level of the Mortlock library. They were people reading some books and doing their homework.  It looked like there was a wall of books with lots of colours. Some had pictures on the spine and some had words.” Yasvi

“We went on an excursion to the State Library. We looked at old books and old games.” Maggie

Year 3’s Vibrant Designs and Calming Creativity

Year 3 students recently had the opportunity to participate in a mandala workshop led by Cathy Gray from Inkwork. The workshop was a blend of creativity and mindfulness, as students learned about the art and symbolism of mandalas. They enjoyed expressing themselves through intricate designs and vibrant colors, creating beautiful pieces of art. A big thank you to Cathy Gray for inspiring our young artists and making this experience so memorable!

STUDENTS REFLECTED:

"I liked drawing different designs and making my own patterns." Isla

"Everyone’s mandala was so beautiful and they took their time to create something special." Oria

"I liked how Cathy showed us how pufferfish make their own mandalas in the ocean." Abigail

"It was so nice to relax and be mindful while creating our own mandalas." Harper

"Cathy gave us lots of ideas to use but we could also create our own patterns." Veronika

"I liked using dark and light contrasts in my mandala to create balance." Zartasha

"Everyone put lots of thought into their designs and I liked seeing everyone’s at the end." Arlyn

Team building, problem-solving, and endless fun!

Year 4 students had an amazing time at Nunyara Camp, working together, showing great spirit, and making unforgettable memories. Enjoy some of the students' reflections and a few snapshots of their adventure!

Students reflected:

“All the activities were so much fun because you got to do them with your friends.” Leni

“I loved the big, natural space and the variety of activities. My favourite was trying to balance on 'Aslan's Table'!” Lucy

“The dorms were great fun because you got to wake up with your friends and in the morning we had a little pillow fight!” Isla

Riding Waves and Making Memories at Year 6 Camp

Whether flying through the air, riding the waves, or coasting in first gear, Year 6 camp at Adare is all about adventure and fun. Over three days, the students challenged themselves with activities such as bike riding, body boarding, kayaking, and team games. Most importantly, they had opportunities to get to know each other better and to learn more about themselves.  

Students reflected:

“I liked being able to make new friends and expand my friendship circle. I also tried activities I have never done before like Flying Kiwi and working together as a team to be able to fly and see the ocean.” Abbygail

“Body boarding was so much fun because the waves were so big that they took me all the way into the shore. Playing on the beach and competing in the beach games against the other team were challenging and exciting.” Ivy

“The camp spirit washed over me like the waves when I was boogie boarding.” Clarisse

“I enjoyed boogie boarding because it made me more confident in the sea and made me feel safe while in the ocean. It was my favourite activity!” Valentina

“I loved the sounds that were humming in my head while bike riding." Mehven

Year 7 Digital Technology - Designing in 3D!

Our Year 7 Digital Technology students have been diving into the world of 3D design using TinkerCAD! One of their first creative tasks was to design and personalise their own name keyrings – some of which you can see in the photos. These designs have been brought to life using our 3D printers.

Students are now applying their design skills to a new challenge: creating their own fidget toys with at least one moving part. It’s been exciting to see their creativity and problem-solving in action as they explore the possibilities of 3D modelling!

SAC Shines at Kids Lit Quiz!

'Kids Lit Quiz' is an annual event where schools from around South Australia compete in teams of four to answer ten rounds of questions of varying categories. The winner from the South Australian heat has the opportunity to advance to the national and international competitions. For the first year, SAC entered a Year 6 and a Year 7 team to represent our school. Both teams achieved a 'top score' in one of the rounds, and at half time, it looked like an SAC / St Mary's showdown, with the top two teams neck and neck for first place! At the end of the competition, our Year 7 team proudly achieved third place, and all team members enjoyed this fantastic experience.

Charter Ambassador Program - Young Voices, Big Ideas

Year 10 Students Reflect on their experience:

Recently, the Year 10 Charter Ambassadors had the amazing opportunity to go to Government house and have the privilege of talking to the Governor and having her present us with our badges. We got the chance to meet students from schools all around South Australia and participate in a workshop where we brainstormed ideas on how we can make a change in our school community.

The Charter Ambassador Program is a great experience which allows us to connect with likeminded students of all ages and engage in ways in which we can use our leadership skills to benefit our school community.

We found it really insightful to be in a very different environment where we could all learn to grow and develop as leaders. The workshops we participated in really got us thinking about what we could do to really show we are leaders and wanting to make a difference.

ADELAIDE FESTIVAL EXCURSION – LOVE STORIES

Unapologetically sentimental, uncynically joyful, and brimming with wholeheartedness, Love Stories delivered exactly what its title promises, a play full of love, sadness and emotion. Adapted from Trent Dalton’s 2021 book Love Stories was an uplifting celebration of love in all its forms. From amazing acting, movement and live cameras filming the performers, audience and even backstage, Love Stories was a production that both impressed and inspired our SAC students. After what was a perfect show its was ana amazing treat to meet the performers afterwards (see photos). 

STUDENTS REFLECTED:

"Love Stories was such a beautiful and heartfelt play. It took all these real stories about love—some heartbreaking, some hilarious, and some just pure joy—and wove them together in such a moving way. The way the actors brought Trent Dalton’s words to life made it feel so personal, like you were sitting down with a friend sharing their most cherished memories. It wasn’t just about romance; it was about every kind of love—family, friendship, even fleeting connections with strangers. Some moments had the whole audience laughing, and others were genuinely tear-jerking. It just felt so real and raw, and it really stuck with me afterward." Alexa (Year 12)

"It was so touching, funny and it made me cry several times. I loved it and hated it at the same time. It just touched me in the way that nothing I've seen ever has." Annabelle (Year 11)

"I thought Love Stories was really inspiring, especially with the technical aspects of the camera being on stage and filming as a live projection- rather than just being  something pre-recorded. I found that inspiring and how the dancers were enacting the story of the writer and his wife while they were acting out their story. There were also very strong emotions in the play that really hit hard for me but they did it in a way that was really open showing there’s bad sides to love but also good sides to love." Sophie (Year 11)

"The play moves around with the characters made it feel like in real life but more lively and the lighting really set the mood for the piece." Nadia (Year 12)

Term 2 Reception to Year 12 Parent-Teacher-Student Learning Reviews

Thursday 8 May 2:00-8:00pm (1pm early dismissal) and Monday 12 May 3:00-6:00pm

The first round of Parent-Teacher-Student Learning Reviews for 2025 will be held for Reception to Year 12 Parents and Caregivers in Weeks 2 and 3 of Term 2.

The start of Term 2 is an opportune time for teachers to share the progress and achievements of students with their families. Likewise, it presents an excellent opportunity to review and establish learning goals moving forward.

An invitation to book interviews has been emailed to families. Families will initially request a timeslot (and teacher(s)) and then a schedule will be generated by the school and distributed to families.

We will hold the learning reviews in the Jordan Building (ground floor and level 1). We strongly encourage that students participate in the learning reviews alongside their parents and carers, as the student voice is central to these conversations.

We look forward to the opportunity for engagement between parents, students and teachers.

Academic Reports

Academic Reports are released at the end of every term in the form of a summary of results. More detailed comments and assessment of student progress and performance is released to students and parents using SEQTA throughout the Semester.

Mid-Semester One Reports for Reception to Year 12 students will be released on SEQTA Engage (for parents and caregivers and SEQTA Learn (for students) by 3pm on Friday 11 April.

If you are a parent or caregiver and have not yet accessed SEQTA Engage, please visit our website for access to the portal and User and Login Guides: https://www.sac.sa.edu.au/seqta/
