• Start time is 7pm in the Br Emilian Hall but the boys need to be in the Music Centre by 6.45pm
• Dinner will be provided for all boys so if you want your son to stay instead of signing out at 5 then this is totally fine. You do not need to change his time on Boardingware or send me an email if he is going to do this.
• The boys need to wear their BLUES for the event. They can shower and get dressed into their BLUES in the dorms at 5pm.
• The concert should finish between 8.30pm and 9pm.

“Mindfulness can help children calm their minds and make the most of their life, setting them up for career and relationships. It reduces their anxiety and improves concentration, productivity and sleep.”
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg

The Link above is for the Joeys School TV website. There are some wonderful items on this site that you would find very useful. Please spend some time looking through this and discussing some topics with your son. I have shared a few things with you in the past from this (the Fortnite special, sleep and some information on resilience) but there are plenty more themes that you could utilise such as a focus on anxiety, examinations and the importance of physical activity.

Last Monday, the Resources Centre in collaboration with the Japanese department hosted a Manga Madness Festival in the College library. The festival was a big success with staff, students and special guests all having a wonderful afternoon, while celebrating the manga tradition and all things Japanese.
We welcomed over 50 Year 6 students from Villa Maria Primary School to help us celebrate this event with our Year 8 Japanese elective students. The festival was a huge success with staff, students and special guests all having a wonderful afternoon celebrating Japanese culture and the manga tradition.
Mrs Xouris spoke to the students about the importance of manga in Japanese culture and its long and complex history in early Japanese art. The students were treated to manga drawing lessons conducted by manga artist and author, Matthew Lin, as well as origami and calligraphy lessons. The students also participated in Cosplay, and enjoyed dressing up in a range of character costumes from Mrs Xouris’ extensive collection. Derived from the phrase “costume play”, cosplay has become a very popular pastime amongst teenagers and young adults in Japan and this tradition is spreading worldwide.
Matthew Lin also ran advanced Manga drawing lessons after school, which was attended by many Year 7 and 8 students.
This annual event aims to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of Japanese traditions and culture and judging from the enthusiasm by staff and students, it most certainly fulfilled its brief.
The boys were invited to enter a manga drawing competition, which was judged by our visiting artist. Matthew Lin was impressed by the standard of art work created by our boys and awarded prizes to the following boys:

Rumtin Abediasl
Jack Cullen
Tristen Seeto

Family Mass:

The boys are to be seated in the Hall by 9.45am for a 10am start. They are to wear their Full Blues to this. The Mass will finish at 11am approx. upon which the boys can head up to the dorms to get changed into casual clothes quickly. It is suggested that the boys bring in a set of casual clothes over the next day or two and leave them in their press in the dorms.

Spring Fair:

The Fair will begin at 11am. As mentioned above the boys can get changed into casual clothes for this. The dorms will only be open for a limited time and will not reopen until 4pm. The main building will be locked and all boys will not be able to enter it from approx. 11.30am until 4pm. I will remind the boys of this today but you may also wish to do the same.

Dress: Neat casual clothes with shoes.

A roll call will occur just before 4pm. Once their name has been marked off, the boys will be free to leave.
