In today’s world, it is common to hear socially offensive language on the streets, on social media channels, streaming services and in some forms of modern music. While swearing is becoming more common and less taboo, the use of derogatory language or the act of swearing at someone, or about someone, is a form of verbal violence. It transgresses the usual rules of social interaction by impinging on an individual’s self-image and sense of dignity.
It is becoming apparent that some young people are being influenced by the language they hear. Proliferating the use of swear words can sometimes normalise, glamorise and desensitise their impact for kids who may misunderstand the true meaning of some derogatory terms. Whilst some students may use swearing or derogatory terms as a misguided attempt at belonging, others may use it simply because they are still learning how to moderate their language and are not accustomed to making adjustments to suit different situations.
Although many schools enforce a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to swearing and derogatory language, parents need to also play an important part in enforcing this approach. Parents and carers can be proactive in monitoring what their children are viewing or being exposed to. Discussing the use of words or the origin of some derogatory terms and gaining insight into the reason behind their child’s use of such language can help prevent inappropriate or disrespectful language filtering into the classroom or the school yard, which in turn helps to build more tolerant, safe and connected communities.
This Special Report offers a number of guidelines to help manage a suitable approach when discussing the importance of respectful language. We hope you take a moment to reflect on the information offered, and as always, we welcome your feedback. If this raises any concerns for you, a loved one or the wellbeing of your child, please seek medical or professional help.

Goulburn Mulwaree Council will be removing the existing footpath on Clinton Street and replacing it with a new wider footpath.
Work will commence on Thursday 25 November 2021 and finish on Sunday 28 November 2021. The crossing and walkway into the College will remain uninterrupted but the remainder of footpath will be closed off.
Parents dropping off students will need to be careful. Students will need to walk along the gutter to the College crossing and entrance.
COVID restrictions HAVE CHANGED to allow us to offer uniform fittings in person. The Trinity Uniform Shop will continue to operate online as well.
To make a booking for a uniform fitting, please book via email uniform.tccg@cg.catholic.edu.au. Natalie Albury will contact you to confirm the booking. Parents will be requested to show their vaccination certificate.
There are quite a few existing student Qkr! orders ready for collection on Thursdays any time after school (ie not before 3.30pm) from the Uniform Shop. Double vaccinated adults are allowed on Campus to collect their uniform shop order. Social distancing rules will apply in the Uniform Shop.
When Year 7 2022 orders are ready, parents will be contacted to arrange collection. We are still awaiting the delivery of stock for some of these orders.
Some helpful hints when ordering online include:
- The Girls/Ladies blazers and blouses (both summer and winter) are in women's sizing. The sizes can be taken 2- 3 sizes UP to get the student (children) equivalent sizing. eg: Size 8 Women's Blouse would be the same as a 14-year-old student size.
- The Girls/Ladies skirts are in children's sizing. eg: Size 14 equates to the size of a 14 year old students. Both summer and winter skirts have adjustors on both sides.
- The Boys Trousers sizing are in children's sizing. eg: Size 14 equates to the size of a 14 year old student. Size 18 measures a 82cm waist.
- The Men's Trousers increase by 5cm in the waist each size starting at Size 5 (87cm waist).
- The PE shorts and PE Trackpants (new 2020 tapered style) are unisex and tend to run small for their fit. If normally a 14-year-old's sizing, it would be suggested to purchase two sizes up eg: small.
Please know purchases can always be exchanged if they are not the correct size.
If you require further information, please contact Natalie Albury via the email address uniform.tccg@cg.catholic.edu.au
Hello again from the Goulburn Show Society.
The show will be held on 5 and 6 March 2022. Again thank you for your interest and participation in the 2021 show and look forward to your involvement in 2022.
The College should be notified of any foreseen student leave. An Application for Exemption Form is available from the College Office and is required to be completed by parents/carers and returned to the College at least 10 school days prior to any leave. Leave or travel over 10 days requires a different form; please contact Reception. If, during the period of leave, your child has assessments due they should also complete the Notification of Planned Absence form which is in the appendix of their student assessment handbook.
When your child needs to leave School early, please make sure they complete the following steps:
1. A written note signed from their parent/carer. This note can be made in the Student diary on the day of the planned absence, or on a separate piece of paper.
2. The student then takes the note to Homeroom and asks their Homeroom teachers to sign it.
3. The note must also be signed by a House Coordinator.
4. The student comes to the front office with their signed note.
5. Front office staff assist student to sign out.
6. Students wait for parent/carer to collect them.
Please note, parent or carer MUST present to the Office to collect student.
We love to hear about our students' achievements, so please feel free to send through any information about your child's achievements to info.tccg@cg.catholic.edu.au by Tuesday of each week. We look forward to hearing from you! Also, be sure to visit our facebook site!
