Dear Parents, Students and Friends,

On Friday, the College was represented by boys from the Chanel House at the Mary, Help of Christians Mass at St. Mary’s Cathedral. Bishop Comensoli spoke to the senior students from each Catholic School in the Archdiocese of Sydney. Bishop Peter said that we stand on the shoulders of those Catholics who went before us in the development of Sydney from colony to city. The Cathedral was dedicated, when founded, to Mary, Help of Christians.

The Bishop further offered that we must pray for guidance in our understanding of the situation of the asylum seekers that we are sending to Manus Island, Christmas Island and Nauru. These people that we are confining to detention centres such as Villawood in Sydney’s west. This is not Christian to confine these people to such cruel living conditions.

I believe that these people have not committed any crime and yet we are locking up families and young people. We must pray that the Government and the Opposition re-think these poor policies. The idea that we are suggesting that people from these centres be ‘re-settled’ in Cambodia is also not a just plan.

We are encouraged to pray to Mary, Help of Christians as patron saint for Australia to help Australians to act justly; to build harmony and peace in our world.

Almighty ever-living God,Who placed the love of Our Lady,

Help of Christians in the heartsof those who brought the Catholic

faith to these shores, grant,through her intersession, wisdom

to our leaders and integrity to our citizens, so that, under her

protection, Australia may knowharmony, justice and peace.

Our Lady Help of Christians,Pray for us.

As we approach mid-year, I can see how many of the school’s plans for the year are coming together. The emphasis that the school places on Teaching and Learning is very real. Our Leaders of Learning are busy developing their teaching programs for the new Australian Curriculum. This year students in Years 7 and 9 are the first groups to experience the new curriculum in English, Mathematics, Science and Geography. We are busy developing units of work for Years 8 and 10 for delivery in 2015.

The Year 12 Retreat last week was very successful. The success is already evident in the faces of our senior students. The retreat has developed over the years to being one of the traditions of the school.

Last weekend, our three Immersion groups began their Immersion preparation with a retreat. This is a vital aspect of the formation of the students for their experience at the end of this term. The three groups this year will be heading off to Cambodia, India and the Northern Territory.

THE NOW

“Patience is not a waiting passivity until someone does something.

Patience asks us to live in the moment to the fullest, to be completely

present to the moment, to taste the here and the now, to be where we are.

We behave if the real thing will happen tomorrow,

later and somewhere else.Let’s be patient and trust that the

treasure we look for is hidden in theground on which we stand.”

- Henri Nouwen

Henri Nouwen was a respected pastor from Canada who wrote with a focus on Wisdom and Faith. His reflection focuses on the importance of being patient in order to finding quality moments. Patience is a difficult virtue to master especially within the extraordinarily busy world we live in. How do we find this patience to live in the moment? To have clarity in our minds and a balance in allowing our lives to be planned but not rigid enough that we miss the beauty of a special moment could be considered the key.

The last few meetings I have held with each Year Group have been about preparation for events that are coming up in the next few weeks. I have stressed the importance of being organised, planned and prepared. It is a constant message that I am sure our young men think ‘here he goes again’. They are all important qualities to possess in moving forward in busy schools and in our busy lives.

However, reflections like the one above have made me pause and think about the importance of living in the now.

At times we can be so consumed with what lies ahead or what we have done in the past, that we lose sight ofenjoying special moments within our day. This moment can be as simple as laughter with friends, the silence you never seem to find, the joy of victory, the love of family members or a prayer with God. Recognising the beauty of these moments and feelings provides a sense of fulfilment in being immersed in the day. The anxiety of the past or the future is forgotten when we can centre on the beauty of the moment to understand what Robin William’s character described in Dead Poets Society as ‘sucking the marrow out of life’.

Furthermore, wonderful memories with family and friends can come from unexpected moments. Being present to the now will allow unexpected moments to be grabbed and fully appreciated.

This point can be no more relevant than what our Year 12 students have just experienced from their Year 12 retreat. Taking the time to move away from their normal lives and distractions, provided our young men with time to reflect and pray in the now for beyond. I am sure that they had some preconceived ideas about what to expect, but came back with some unexpected emotions that were discovered and explored.

Essentially, this space allowed the freedom for our young men to centre upon themselves. The feedback from both staff and students from the retreat has overall been very positive and the richness of immersing themselves hopefully allowed them to leave with some wonderful, lifelong memories.

HANDY HINTS FROM ANDREW FULLER

There are several sure-fire ways to make this a great year.

1. Build positive relationships with everyone you know. Parents, teachers, friends, everyone! One of the ways of reducing your stress levels is to set out to have as many positive friendships this year as you can.

2. Challenge yourself. You are much, much smarter than you know. If you practice doing your best in life you will succeed because very few people ever practice doing their best. To do your best, you have to get out of the habit of predicting that things won’t go well for you. If you look for what’s going to go wrong, you will always find it. If you look for what works, life just gets a lot easier. Go to: www.andrewfuller.com.au/extras/downloads/159.%20Setyourself%20up.pdf

FAITH FORMATIONYEAR 12 RETREAT

Last week I had the pleasure of accompanying our Year 12 students and our retreat staff to Mittagong for the Year 12 Retreat. Working on the themes of ‘Trust, Love, Live’ our students explored relationships in life and their own spirituality. The Marist Retreat Centre was a perfect venue, steeped in Marist heritage. It allowed the students to take part in the programme in custom-built facilities, and in free time to explore the grounds of the retreat centre, taking in the majestic views of the Southern Highlands.

I was most impressed with how the boys entered into the retreat experience, embracing the opportunity to take time out from the busyness of life and the pressures of the HSC to pause and reflect with each other. I particularly enjoyed listening to the students’ explanation of their relationship with God, as expressed through clay modelling.

“I’ve created a table where you can sit alone and with others. Like this, our quest for God is both personal and communal”

“Like this clay, my relationship with God may never be the perfect size or shape, but I’m

going to continue to work on it”

“Without God there is a void in my life - complete darkness”

These were just some of the profound and insightful statements from our fine young men. All of our boys are at different stages of their faith journey and I was proud of just how well they could articulate this throughout the programme.

Year after year, our senior boys’ exit surveys indicate just how much they valued the retreat experience. May we always keep our Year 12 boys in our prayers. My sincere hope is that they can apply some of their learnings and experiences from this retreat experience to their lives back at school and at home.

TWITTER

Throughout the year, the Faith Formation team has been trialling the use of Twitter as one of ways in which we highlight the various events, activities and achievements of our students here at Marist College North Shore. If you have a Twitter account, I would encourage you to

follow us @Marist_NthShore.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

We are very fortunate in the Archdiocese of Sydney to be using such a comprehensive and widely acclaimed Religious Education curriculum. The quality of our curriculum is so strong and well-resourced that many other dioceses within NSW, Australia and beyond use it as their Religious Education curriculum.

At Marist College North Shore we place great value in delivering quality Religious Education to your sons. Our teachers have tertiary qualifications in Religious Education and Theology – many at a postgraduate level; and they have a passion for Teaching and Learning that is second to none.

With this in mind, it would come as no surprise to you that we expect all students at the College to fully embrace Religious Education classes and to treat the subject with the same academic rigour as they would any other. This includes areas such as classwork, homework and assignments.

Thanks to the encouragement of high academic standards in Religious Education from the start of Year 7, the flow-on effect is tremendous. When our students reach Year 12, they have the motivation and skill set to sit for HSC examinations in Studies of Religion, which in turn can contribute to the calculation of their ATARs.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that ‘Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children…(2223)’ and that ‘Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child’s earliest years. This already happens when family members help one another

to grow in faith by the witness of a Christian life with the Gospel. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God.’ (2226).

You might ask yourself ‘How can I do this?’ I would start by simply having a conversation with your son. Ask him to explain what he has learnt in Religious Education today. Ask him to show you his workbook. Read his textbook and talk to him about his assignments. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised by just how much your son knows.

Together, through a strong relationship between school and home, we can continue our wonderful Marist tradition of ‘making Christ known and loved’ and in turn, produce fine young men who graduate from the College with ‘strong minds and gentle hearts.’

WHAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES ON ASYLUM & MIGRATION

We regularly hear on the news debates about the Federal Government’s policies on asylum seekers and their subsequent treatment. With this in mind, I thought it timely to share the following literature from the Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office - see next page. I recommend that you visit this website: www.acmro.catholic.org.au I would also strongly encourage you to discuss this material with your son at home.

FAITH FORMATIONFEAST OF ST. MARY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS

Last Friday, my fellow students and I from Chanel 8 and 9, travelled to St. Mary’s Cathedral in the city with Mr Duncan and Mr Munro, for the celebration of the Solemnity of Mary, Help of Christians. We arrived at St. Mary’s in awe of its size, history and importance, before moving inside the Cathedral for the celebration. All Sydney Catholic secondary schools were represented at this Mass, filling the Cathedral to capacity. Celebrated by His Lordship, Bishop Peter Comensoli, the Mass celebrated the significant role of Mary as Patron Saint of Australia.

Throughout his homily, Bishop Peter guided us through three major artworks depicting Mary, Help of Christians over the centuries, after whom the Cathedral is named. The first of these artworks was the statue of Mary, Help of Christians in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Second was the stained glass window above the eastern entrance to the Cathedral and finally, the twenty-first Century painting of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, located at the College Street entrance (pictured).

Bishop Peter also issued us a challenge to us as Christians to reach out and help others in need, just as the early Catholics in Australia prayed through Mary to Jesus in their times of need. Through participating in this Mass, we gained a greater appreciation for the role of Mary in the Catholic Church, not only for us as Australians, but also as the Mother of all Catholics in our universal Church.

The ATAR and HSC As Year 12 students move quickly into the business end of their HSC studies, I have included a few timely reminders about the HSC results and ATAR processes. It is important that all HSC students remain well informed about these important aspects. There is much confusion and incorrect interpretations of how the ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank) is calculated. The UAC (Universities Admission Centre) has produced some simplified videos and information pamphlets to help demystify the process. They are able to be accessed via the UAC website. I have include some of the links that you may find useful.
