Academy of Mary Immaculate – Building Resilience

Academy girls accept the certainty of change as the world shifts to multimodal methods — in learning, living, and working. With personal fortitude and integrity, our girls have used their inherent expertise to humanise the pandemic and engage with each other to augment their learning goals. Finding, being part of, and creating solutions in response to the COVID impact has been a significant ‘driver’ for our school community. At the invitation of local medical practitioners, Academy’s prestigious AMICCI choir performed at the Royal Exhibition Building to support the Melbourne community as it received COVID vaccinations. The girls are such strong singers that their choral voice can be clearly heard from behind the face masks each student wears. Academically, our students have used a range of digital technologies to take control of their education whilst collaborating on scientific projects during remote learning periods. Year 7 students used 3D modelling software to show how a ‘sharps cutter’ prototype could cut the metal needle from a syringe safely so that both pieces could be disposed of and recycled effectively. Our Year 10 physics students mastered the scientific process — including observation, data collection, analysis, and interpretation — via the Google education suite, virtual classrooms, and statistical and design software. In spite of the social isolation and disrupted education settings, our students demonstrated their integrity and purpose by supporting each other to respond to a complex situation and apply their knowledge and values across disciplines.
