LEARNING MATTERS
LANGUAGES WEEK
From Monday 24th to Friday 28th August the College celebrated Languages and Understanding Week through a series of wonderful activities. This was a week to recognise the cultural and linguistic diversity in the Catholic Regional College St Albans community.
Students were invited to challenge their language learning and speaking skills by participating in a week long competition on Education Perfect. By the end of the week, students had collectively completed over 50 hours of language learning. A special mention to the three winners of the competition:
- Marsel Eshaq
- Laticia Nguyen
- Audrey Gerada.
In addition to this, students had the opportunity to show off their knowledge about different languages and culture by completing a survey. A special mention to Sacreana Ulugia-Sa’ena who was able to demonstrate a variety of phrases in over 10 languages and came up with an impressive list of cultural facts. Well done to Sacreana and everyone else who participated.
The efforts of these students have been recognised alongside all other students who participated and shared in the joy that is language learning and cultural diversity!
A big thank you to all the students and staff as well who offered their insights into cultural and linguistic diversity, as well as the challenges of not always knowing the language.

'Who am I’ Drawing
I loved creating my artwork as l could include all the things l love that represents me.
It was fun and relaxing to express who I am. It was great to practice different styles of lettering and drawing like blending, using bold, cool and warm colours in my picture.
I incorporated graffiti, a speaker, headphones, microphone, Eminem, dance logo and a rapper to show my love for dancing and music. I used warm colours to symbolise my energy and to show that I’m like fire on the dancefloor!
I included Rosary beads and a big cross as my faith has a big place in my heart. The Indian flag and the AFL Tigers top symbolise my Anglo Indian nationality and Australian roots. The big bold red chilli symbolises my love for all things spicy, especially Indian food and eating with my special family. The basketball and Converse logo show my love for basketball and shoes l love to dance in. My background is a dance floor in cool colours. My dancefloor helps bring all my pictures together, in a fun way, to represent me. Charlie J Ferdinand, 7 Wimmera
