Dear Parents, Friends and Caregivers,

The Educational AgendaOn Monday I attended a national professional learning event for Principals hosted by the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership.

Opening speaker Education Minister Bill Shorten stressed two key themes:

• the important role parents play in the education of their children

• the need to value teachers and the teaching profession.

These are not new themes but they are pertinent. I know from almost 30 years teaching that student success in learning has a strong correlation to the home/school partnerships. When parents/caregivers

take an active interest in their child’s homework and school work student learning outcomes improve. At CBC the College portal, Parent/Teacher nights, the report and involvement in one of the many parent auxiliaries or volunteer opportunities open the teacher/parent relationship.

The Minister went on to say that in today’s global world our students need to be internationally competitive and therefore our education must be globally competitive and rigorous.

Teachers also need to be aware of the global context in which they operate and in which we all live. The Minister challenged all teachers to be emotionally resilient, educationally rigorous, and mature and upbeat -- a simple yet profound challenge.

In my overseas sabbatical last year I was able to see first-handworldclasseducationsystemsincountrieslike Finland and Scotland (the former whose schools are rated the best in the world in their literacy and numeracy outcomes).

CBC staff continue to work hard to ensure a world class education for your child. I thank all parents and carers who were able to attend parent/teacher interviews at the Junior Campus on Thursday night and encourage you to maintain the teacher/parent relationship and communication which will best support your child.

Faith NewsIn preparation for Social Justice Sunday on 29 September we have been asked to prepare through prayerandawarenessonthesignificanceofthiseventin the life of the church in the world. This year’s Social Justice Statement is titled: ‘Lazarus at our Gate: A critical moment in the fight against world poverty’. The Statement urges all Australians to focus on our obligation to help the world’s poorest and to work to combat poverty wherever it is found. Although progress hasbeenmadeoverthepastdecadeinthefightagainstextreme poverty, one billion people still live on less than $1.25 per day, and 20 percent of the world’s poor live in countries near Australia.

Student newsCongratulations to Charlie Pickford and Tupu-Jonty Maualaivao who returned from competing during the holidays in Queensland for State Rugby.

Both boys did so well in the competition with Charlie having a golden foot with conversions and a constant threat as well as getting the ball over the line on many occasions. TJ was selected as captain of the U14s by the development officers and led his team proudly as well as getting that ball over the line.

Counsellor’s Corner

Keeping a Balance.“A holiday is what you take if you can’t take what you’ve been taking.” We all need adequate rest and relaxation. Some can cope with a large number of hours of work and reduced hours of sleep. It is a matter of knowing ourselves. We are accountable and responsible to ourselves, to our God, to our family and those who have to cope with us. We should take a break when it is needed and get adequate but not excessive sleep. It is a sign of maturity to keep the balance between work, recreation, rest and sleep.

Learning Needs To Move Us From Our Comfort ZoneOur students today live in a world where they are bombarded with information everyday of their life. As educators we need to see this vast amount of informationnotasadeficitbutasagreatopportunityto learn. The term social pedagogy calls us to see every day of our life as a potential learning opportunity where we stimulate their curiosity and connect them to their physical and social environment. I remember as a student thoroughly enjoying Physics classes where we had lessons every week to explore new inventions in thescientificworldandtriedtoexplainthemysteryofscience.

In order to learn we have to explore and venture out into the unknown. Tom Senninger (2000), a German adventurer, developed a Learning Zone Model which comprised three zones: Comfort Zone, Learning Zone and Panic Zone. he stated we already know our immediate surroundings, which form our Comfort Zone. This could be the zone where we feel comfortable with our learning and are not really challenged. This Comfort Zone is where things are familiar to us and we don’t have to take any risks. The Comfort Zone is important, becauseitgivesusaplacetoreturnto,toreflectandmake sense of things – a safe haven.

We know it is always easy to stay in our Comfort Zone and we have to leave it in order to get to know the unknown. It is this leaving the Comfort Zone, our secure environment that forces us to really learn. Senninger calls this the Learning Zone, as this is the zone where we live out our curiosity and make new discoveries, and thus slowly expand our own Comfort Zone by becoming more familiar with more things. Going into our Learning Zone is a borderline experience where we explore the edge of our abilities, our limits and see how far we can move from our Comfort Zone. This process requires our students to push themselves to new areas of learning, to view things differently, to inquire into the reason why andtofindsolutionstoaproblem.

Senninger stated that outside the Learning Zone lies the Panic Zone, wherein learning seems impossible, as it is blocked by a sense of fear. Any learning connected with negative emotions is memorised in a part of the human brain that we can access only in similar emotional situations. Experiences of being in our Panic Zone are frequently traumatic, and any sense of curiosity is shut down by a need to get out of our Panic Zone. In this situation students become stressed where they believe they don’t have the ability to complete a task. Therefore, we should aim to get close to, but not into, our Panic Zone.

It is important that, in the transition from Comfort Zone to Learning Zone, we be careful when taking risks and don’t go too far out of our Comfort Zone – beyond the Learning Zone – into the Panic Zone, where all our energy is used up for managing/controlling our anxiety andnoenergycanflowintolearning.Thesethreezonesare different for different situations and different for each student – we all have our own unique Comfort Zone, Learning Zone and Panic Zone. For example, for a student who has grown up in chaotic family circumstances, drinking out of a dirty cup might be perfectly normal and within their Comfort Zone, whereas sitting down for a meal together might be far out of their Comfort Zone to begin with. For students with different experiences this might be the other way around. Where one zone ends and the other starts is not always clearly visible.

As a College community we need to invite our students to leave their Comfort Zone, value their decisions, take them seriously and give them support so they won’t enter their Panic Zone. Encouraging our students to learngivesthemtheconfidencetotaketherisksandmove into their Learning Zone.

If you want to feel secureDo what you already know how to do.But if you want to grow...Go to the cutting edge of your competence,Which means a temporary loss of security.So, whenever you don’t quite knowWhat you are doingKnowThat you are growing...’

(Viscott, 2003)

The language of resilient familiesChildren and adults in resilient families tune into the needs of each other, choosing situation-specific language, rather than simply regurgitating generalised ‘feel-good’ or ‘get-on-with-it’ platitudes.

Resilient families develop their own words and phrases to help each other get through the inevitable tough times that each person experiences. The language of resilience generally refers to coping strategies such as empathy, humour and acceptance. Following are 10 examples of the language of resilience, the coping skills eachreflectsandthetypesofsituationswheretheyareapplicable.

1. “Come on, laugh it off.” Strategy: humour Good for: kids who experience disappointment, failure and even loss. humour is a great coping strategy and a powerful tool for resilience as it heightens feelings of control. Some children and young people will naturally crack jokes or make fun of seemingly serious situations. This is a fantastic way to release stress and handle feelings of helplessness. As a parent you may need to lighten up tense situations by introducing humour of your own.

2. “Don’t let this spoil everything.” Strategy: containing thinking Good for: kids who feel overwhelmed; kids who experience rejection; perfectionists. The ability to compartmentalise bad events and keep them from affecting all areas of life is a powerful coping skill. Sportspeople, politicians and others who work in the public arena need to be adept at it. When something unpleasant happens during recess, for example, kids need to park their thinking about that event so they can get on with the rest of the day. The ability to compartmentalise thinking is a fantastic life skill kids can learn within their family.

3. “Let’s take a break.” Strategy: distraction Good for: kids experiencing stressful situations; kids who think too much; kids with busy lives. When kids are troubled by events or spend too much time brooding it helps to do something to get their minds off things for a time. Playing games, spending time together, watching some TV, going out – are all good distracters for worried, anxious or stressed kids. Self-distraction is healthy,

providing some welcome perspective. It also prevents kids from replaying awful experiences in their heads, blowing them out of proportion.

4. “Who have you spoken to about this?” Strategy: seeking help Good for: kids who experience bullying and social problems; handling all types of personal worries. Resilient people seek solace in the company of otherswhentheyexperiencedifficulty.That’swhysocialconnection is such a strong preventative strategy for young people. The promotion of help-seeking behaviours is one of the best coping strategies of all. Even if kids don’t overtly talk about what’s bothering them, it can be immensely reassuring to spend time around others who are empathetic, understanding and Willing to listen and help.

5. “I know it looks bad now but you will get through this.” Strategy: offering hope Good for: kids experiencing loss, bullying, change or extreme disappointment. There are times when parents can do nothing else but keep their children’s chins up and encourage them when life doesn’t go their way. Being the ‘hope’ person can be hard work, that’s why parents need to be supported by resilient people and workplaces too. It helps to be mindful that a child or young person’s resilience is nurtured by the presence of at least one supportive adult. You may have to be that person!

6. “What can you learn from this so it doesn’t happen next time?” Strategy: positive reframing Good for: kids who make mistakes, let others down or experience personal disappointment One of the common attributesofoptimisticpeopleistheirabilitytofindalearning,orlookforamessage,indifficultornegativesituations. Parents can help kids reframe events to help them see things differently. For instance, rather than regarding a public speaking opportunity as problematic and a chance to look foolish it’s better to reframe it as a challenge and a chance to shine. It also helps when parents model reframing so kids see you changing how you view seemingly negative or worrying situations.

7. “Don’t worry – relax and see what happens!” Strategy: acceptance Good for: kids who worry about exams or performing poorly in any endeavour; pessimists. If you’ve ever been driving to an important eventonlytobestuckintrafficthenyouwouldknowthat there are some situations you just can’t control. The only way to cope is to accept what’s happening because worrying and fretting won’t get you anywhere. Similarly, parents with a resilience mindset can help kids understand what’s worth worrying about and what’s not, and that some things won’t change no matter how much kids fret or beat themselves up!

8. “This isn’t the end of the world” Strategy: maintaining perspective Good for: kids who catastrophise or blow things out of proportion. While most of us catastrophise at times, jumping to the worst possible conclusion, it is a habit that only exaggerates anxiety. When kids constantly think the worst case

scenario, challenge their views. “Yes, you could end up not knowing anyone at camp but you won’t be the only one. Besides you’ll probably end up making new friends like you generally do.”

9. “You could be right. But have you thought about …”Strategy:flexiblethinkingGoodfor:kidswho catastrophise; experience extreme feelings; who exaggerate. Many children and young people talk in extremes – ‘awesome’, ‘the best’, ‘the worst’ and ‘gross’ roll off their tongues easily these days.

Unfortunately, their extreme language leads to extreme emotional responses. Develop the habit of winding back their language by introducing shades of grey, rather than black and white. Replace “I’m furious” with “I’m annoyed”. “It’s an absolute disaster” with “It’s a pain”.“I can’t stand it” with “I don’t like it”. Realistic language leads to realistic thinking, which helps kids handle many ordinary situations that they have blown out of proportion.

10. “What can we do about this?” Strategy: taking action Good for: kids who mope; who experience disappointment; who feel inadequate. Kids can sometimes feel overwhelmed by events such as constant failure, constant rejection or always narrowly missing being picked for a team. They can be overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy and helplessness. Action is often the best remedy. help them takethefirststepforward.Setsomegoals.Makesomeplans.Identifythefirststepandholdtheirhandwhilethey take it. Taking action is a quality shared by resilient communities, organisations and individuals.

Bring resilience into your everyday language

Resilient parents focus on building children’s and young people’s strengths for the future, while helping them copewiththepresentdifficultiesandchallengestheyexperience. The key to promoting resilience lies in the language that parents use. My challenge for parents is to make resilience an integral part of your family’s proprietary language. You’ll know you have succeeded if your children as adults remind you, when they hear any complaints or whinges from you in your dotage, to ‘hang inthere’,‘thistoowillpass’and‘findthefunnyside’.Granted they may be phrases you don’t want to hear, but at least you know that you’ve drummed into your kids some important core messages that have stayed for life.

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

The Power to change a life is within us all!

As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition we are challenged through the touchstones:

“Justice and Solidarity” to be committed to justice and peace for all, to be grounded in a spirituality ofactionandreflectionthatcallsustostandinsolidarity with those who are marginalised; “Gospel Spirituality” to invite all people into the story of Jesus and strive to make his message of compassion, justice and peace a living reality within our community; “Inclusive Community” to ensure our community is accepting and welcoming, fostering right relationships and committed to the common good, and “Liberating Education” to open hearts and minds, through quality teaching and learning experiences, so that through criticalreflectionandengagementeachpersonishopefilledandfreetobuildabetterworldforall.

As an educational leader of his time, Blessed Edmund Rice demonstrated transformational leadership founded in his Catholic faith and enacted through the spirit. he had a deep understanding of the context in which he led and could not reconcile within his soul the injustice, barriers and despair that poverty and homelessness presented for the boys on the streets of Waterford, Ireland. Driven by the spirit he became passionate and relentless in his need to respond to this calling, breaking down the barriers of disadvantage and despair and opening the door of equality and hope.

Blessed Edmund’s vision lives on and remains relevant today in a 21st century context focused upon excellence and equity. his vision continues to inspire and engage the hearts and minds of the Christian Brothers, their educationalcommunitiesandaffiliatedassociations.Edmund’s compassionate leadership was centred upon the principles of social justice and outreach reminding us of the gospel teachings of Jesus Christ. his vision continues to challenge us to advocate for equality, building communities, with a strong social conscience that reaches out to those who are marginalised and isolated,ensuringourcommunitiesarereflectiveofaninclusive welcoming of all. We are challenged through his charism to look inward, to recognise within ourselves the power we have to change life, to challenge societal norms and in doing so promote within our community, society and humanity social justice and equality for all human beings.

“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Those who look outside dream and those who look within awaken.” Carl Jung

At both the Senior and Junior Campus there are a group of boys, young men and staff who have been called to leadership in social action, to reach out and walk with the marginalised and through their own awakening, awaken us all to injustice within our community and society, challenging us to stand and be counted to advocate against social policy that promotes inequality and isolation.

This group is known within community as the Social Action Group and a recent focus for this group was the “St Vincent de Paul Winter Sleep Out” awakening

in these boys and our community the societal issue of homelessness.Somesoberingfactstoreflectupon:

• More than 105,000 Australians homeless every night, including 7,500 families.

• More than 12,000 Australian children under the age of 12 have no home.

• A further 22,000 young people aged 12 to 18 are homeless, most of them estranged from their families.

• Most families who are homeless are women and children escaping domestic and family violence.

• 44% of homeless Australians are staying temporarily with family and friends; 20% are living in boarding houses and other temporary accommodation; and 18% are sleeping rough on the streets.

The founder of the St Vincent de Paul Society, Frederic Ozanam, was a revolutionary. The social activism he advocated was grounded in an attitude of listening to and learning from the people. Frederic was talking about solidarity, walking with, sharing story, listening without judgement stating:

“Knowledge of the poor and needy is not gained by poring over books or in discussions with politicians, but by visiting them where they live, listening and honouring their story, sitting by the bedside of the dying, feeling the cold they feel and learning from their lips the causes of their woes”.

The St Vincent de Paul Society SA 2013 Winter Appeal challenges Australians to take a positive stand against poverty by doing something about it this winter and that is exactly what our Junior Campus Social Action Group did last Friday night when Thomas Grech, Adam Wells, Liam Mead-Carnie, Euan Bardadyn, Louie Catherwood, Will Reardon, Daniel Bressan and ,Joeun Choe in the cold and wet condition dismissed attitudes of powerlessness and were inspired with the support of Mr Chris Gann and Mr hilary Flynn to take action on the things that matter to them, raising both money and awareness for those who are doing it tough, those who are homeless this winter.

Inclosingletustakesometimetoreflectuponthisawakening within our youth, to question and challenge society through the gospel values and pray that God continues to talk to our hearts and souls creating in us all a restlessness that calls us to action where it is clear injustice prevails.

May God bless us with discomfort, at easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within our hearts.

May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, so that we may work for justice, freedom and peace.

May God bless us with tears, to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that we may reach out my hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless us with enough foolishness, to believe that we can make a difference in the world, so that we can do what others claim cannot be done.

Amen.

Open A BasketballAdelaide High School 55 defeated CBC 50

It was and interesting game to say the least. CBC knew thatwewereinforasolidgameasAHSalsoqualifiedin their pool to be in the Knockout Finals on the 14th August. The result was frustrating and disappointing for players and supporters alike after such a promising start. Unfortunately we faded in the last two quarters. having said that CBC showed much promise in their game. One tends to looks at lost games in the negative without getting a big picture perspective and a balanced view. We can certainly learn from this experience, gain from it and become a stronger and more cohesive team in future games. In fact, I remember games where this team came from behind to win. nevertheless, we must also congratulate AhS for playing a good game to come back and win. They were the better team on the day.

Megins had an outstanding game scoring 22 points with four consecutive threes and ten defensive rebounds. he was certainly a presence in the game but also attracted a lot of double teaming from the opposition. he was ably backed by hilliker who also hit two threes and twos in addition to playing a very good defensive role. he is credited with three steals.

Ciabattoniwasalsoinfluentialinthisclosegamewithscoring and in the rebounding department as he pulled in six defensive rebounds. Kurves was playing with an injured arm but still managed to work the low post to get valuable passes and three defensive rebounds.

The defence always could depend on De Pinto who hassled the ball carrier to cause a few opposition turnovers. This was the same situation with Manship who was a workhorse as he denied passes and contributing to the scoreboard. Gleeson played the point guard role to perfection to bring the ball up and set up important passes to other players. he also made an impression on the scorecard. Manship and Gleeson will be invaluable as well next year.

Nguyenwasinstrumentalinfiveoffensivereboundsandalso played an important further role in offence by making good position for the pass from the guards. Squire was his usual dependable self as he played the point, directed trafficindefenceandputinfourvaluablepointsinadditionto three defensive rebounds.

Every player is important and vital to the team. They all have different roles which others will depend on. This must be stressed as we face some strong opposition in the weeks to come. Perhaps the two biggest challengers will the Knockout Finals and the Intercollegiate game on the 14 August and 28 August respectively.

CBC is hosting PAC this week. My thanks to Mrs Kurvers, Mr Mellow, Ms Gleeson, all parents and supporters for being there for the team.

Jacob established our argument clearly and effectively, but,asfirstnegative,wewererequiredtodifferentiatebetween the line taken by the opposition’s opening speaker. With minor changes to speaker roles in this middle round, Luke tackled the second negative in an effort to shore up our line of argument that the risk to the majority of the population was too great to free the precogs. however, MacKillop countered with an emotional line, appealing to the United nations Charter of human Rights, and, likening the precogs to fettered hostages, they effectively appealed to the audience for release on the grounds of freedom of movement and expression.

First XVIII FootballSt Ignatius 142 defeated CBC 42

The First XVIII looked forward to playing another strong team last week in St Ignatius. We knew that they had not lost many games in recent years and we would be in for a tough match. Their college oval at Athelstone was in excellent condition, suggesting it would be a fast game. The absence of Aiden Curyer and Michael hilliker with injuries presented a couple of structural challenges for the team as well.

ThefirstquarterstartedominouslywithStIgnatiuslooking very fast and skilful. Our boys looked to be up to the challenge, however, with excellent team work from Bryce Clonan, nick Delaat and Jonty Rutai setting up early chances. Pellegrino Biancardi and Anthony Martino combinedforanexcellentpassageofplayupthefieldthatwas cut off by the opposition at the goal mouth. Several missed chances were capitalised on by St Ignatius and by quarter time we were down three goals.

In the second quarter we were hoping to do better with the aid of a northerly breeze; however, it was a quarter that saw our hopes dashed. The opposition were dominating the clearances and providing run all across the ground creating havocforourmidfieldersanddefenders.TomPickering,Jarrod hancock and nick Delaat in attack looked potent for a while, but the loose ball was run out of our area too easily. Sam Warren and Bryce Clonan did their best to stem the flow,yetitwastoobigataskonthisoccasion.

Our defence was under a lot of pressure all day and missed nick Adams who was moved to a wing to cover the loss ofAiden.HaydenNiscioliranwellinhisfirstgamefortheseason after a prolonged illness and James Kittel-neill defended well at centre half back despite carrying an injury. Brady Goggins and Josh Dwyer both found the teamwork of the opposition too much to handle, despite making contests and chasing.

The second half saw the opposition dominate the game and open up a big lead. It was disappointing looking at the scoreboard yet knowing our team is capable of a higher standard of football than displayed on this occasion. nathan Byrnes and Bryce Clonan competed well all day, with Byrnes chasing and tackling and Clonan trying to bring others into the game. Jonty Rutai gave a big effort in the second half in the ruck, whilst Thomas Melios-Traver and Charlie Meyer found themselves chasing numerous players and this was makingtheirdaydifficult.

Anthony Martino played a superb captain’s game and was one of the best players on the ground despite the score. Likewise Pelle displayed enormous heart to continue playing with a broken nose for three quarters, after an unfortunate hitfromfriendlyfireearlyinthegame.

Our team has played good football most of the season and is quite capable of regrouping and meeting the challenge by displaying strong character over the next few weeks. With a few injuries at the moment there are opportunities for other players to step up and take on bigger roles. Liam McGee chased and tackled quite well on Saturday, whilst Dan Stevenson displayed good football sense and courage in making a contest. The enthusiasm of Lachlan Starr, Dane Richardson and Jack Poole offers the team more possibilities and these players will have increased workloads this week.

Best Players: Anthony Martino, Thomas Pickering, Pelegrino Biancardi, Bryce Clonan, Jonty Rutai, nathan Byrnes.

Goal Scorers: Pickering, Delaat, Biancardi

Goal Scorers: Bielby (2), Strange, Mastrangelo, nicholson, Tully, Koulizos, Crisanti (1)

nazareth is a Division 2 team that arrived with just 15 players. From experience, teams playing above their division rise to the occasion, and being undermanned further enhances this.

In response CBC started well and set up an early lead. however, nazareth hit back and played well but failed to make this impact the scoreboard. This was conveyed to CBC at quarter-time and the players responded well to setupa3goalhalf-timelead.NathanKoulizos’firsthalfat centre-half-back was very solid and he was supported byamidfieldthathadBielby,Strange,MastrangeloandJohansen winning their positions.

The 9As journeyed north to play the formidable Trinity College. The rain stayed away and a fast, skilful and open game was the result on the wide expanses of the Waldeck Oval. With an 8.45 start the boys were slow to hittheirstrapsandtrailedby11pointsatthefirstchange.Responding to a mini “wake up call” the lads hit in for the remainder of the game kicking 12 goals to 1 from that point forward.

SuperbeffortsfromourmidfieldincludingBenD’Antonio,Daniel Aplin and Ben Adams enabled our forwards to get plenty of opportunities. Andrew McPherson and Bakhos Rahme were always dangerous up forward as a result and swung the game in our favour.

Others to contribute included Luke Squire, Raff Stawicki, Stuart Oneil and the ever reliable Jacob Edgington who held our defence together and provided plenty of rebound.

This week we play PAC in a return match on our Main Oval at the early time of 8.45. Would love to see plenty of mums, dads and friends along to support the boys.

Year 4/5 FootballHighgate Red 8.4 (52) defeated CBC 1.4 (10)

First game back from the break and it was a good morning for footy with no rain and the ground in good condition. highgate came to redeem themselves from their loss to CBC earlier in the season and came out all guns ablaze in thefirstquarter.CBCdefendedreallywellearlyinthegameandheldtheirownbutunfortunatelydidn’tscoreinthefirsthalf when we did clear out of the centre half back and tried to move the ball through the centre. CBC didn’t structure themselves into the spaces and often turned the ball over in the centre.

The third quarter was ours with most of the possession and the game being played mostly in our forward line. Across the ground we had many contributors today and our loss wasn’t due to a lack of effort and commitment but rather just more work required on our game plan.

Well done guys keep up the good work.

After the three week holiday the boys were back on the fieldagainstNorwoodMorialtaanddisplayedsomefightingspirit against a formidable opposition. Last time we meet norwood Morialta easily accounted for CBC winning 5 – 1 and the team was ready to show that we can match the better sides. Unfortunately due to injury and family commitments we only had 10 players but norwood Morialta could only muster 7! In the spirit of fair play CBC matched their number which produced an excellent competitive game.Norwoodhadthebetterplayinthefirsthalfandlead4–2atthebreak.SeveraloftheCBCtimesduringthefirsthalf CBC broke through the defence of norwood Morialta butthefinishinglackedpolishandtheopportunitiesmissedtheir mark. Finally Michele scored off the far post and Antoniocutthroughthemidfieldtoputtheballintotheback of the net.

After the break Lucas Pizzino switched to the front and this had an immediate effect. Running hard down the left hand side he placed the ball into the top right of the net to bring the score to 3 – 4. After the restart CBC defence took the ball from norwood and set up Michele for his second. Two goals in two minutes. The defence of CBC stood strong despite several excellent passes to running players.

Dean Didas was inspiration in defence. he was always in the right position to intercept or ran hard to cut of the angle. John neindorf covered their right mid, disrupted several of their opportunities and rebounding into attack. Antonio Labbozzetta was inspiration as the captain and set up several players. Thanks to Ben Rojas who stepped in to be the goalie.

Year 6 SoccerCBC 14 defeated St Paul’s 0

Although an amazing result for us, unfortunately St Paul’s didnotfieldafullteameventhoughtheychosetoplayandnot forfeit. A courageous effort by their boys to play against a full strength CBC squad that was hungry to play a match after a few weeks break. Too many goal scorers to note but it was good to see the boys try to work on their techniques and not so much just on goal scoring.

A special thank you to those boys who stayed behind or came early to play another game for the 6/7 and 7A team before and after. It shows particular teamwork by Daniel, Louis, Samuel, and Kian. These boys and a number of others have done this regularly every week for other teams and it is really appreciated by the other CBC teams and coaches.

Although I didn’t provide the bag of lollies at the end of the game that Mrs Clarke supplies each week at the end of the game, the team didn’t let me down with a convincing win over Pembroke. We were extremely successful in the doubles, placing pressure on the opposition.

Better Schools Plan and Funding Reform - Update for families

25 July 2013

Commonwealth government deal for Catholic schools gets tick of approval

however, the SA state government’s contribution still falls short for SA Catholic

schools.

On Tuesday 23rd July, the National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC) released a statement

indicating that all state and territory Catholic education commissions had committed to the

Commonwealth government’s funding arrangements now known as the Better Schools Plan.

Read the statement here.

However, the statement makes clear that Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) is still

negotiating with the SA state government to revise its current agreement with the Australian

Government that results in minimal additional funding for SA Catholic schools for several years

from 2014.

The Australian Government has listened to our concerns about this issue and confirmed its

willingness to address it by contributing additional funds in the early years of implementation. The

state government has not yet matched this commitment.

What this means: The original agreement signed between SA and the Australian Government sees very little increase

in funding to our sector in 2014 or 2015 or 2016. In fact, it may not even cover the increased costs

associated with the current enterprise agreement covering negotiated salary increases for staff in

SA Catholic schools. So Premier Weatherill’s hype about the benefits of SA’s funding agreement for

Authorised by Ann Bliss, Federation of Catholic School Parent Communities (SA) 121 George Street, Thebarton 5031

our schools, at least for the foreseeable future, is just that – hype! The fact that we receive the

lowest state funding means it is not a good outcome for our children and schools in the early years

of the implementation of the Better Schools Plan. Our schools will continue to feel the pressure of

underfunding for some years to come.

What are we going to do about it? The Federation of Catholic School Parent Communities, as your voice, will continue to work with

Catholic Education SA to put pressure on the Premier to come to the party and increase funding to

our children and our schools now.

Our message is clear – we won’t wait another six years for funding fairness that was promised to us

in 2010. We’ll make sure that our families will go to the next state election knowing this

government has not delivered on its promise

What you can do: You can contact your local state member of parliament and ask them to take these messages to

Premier Weatherill on your behalf:

Catholic school parents have waited long enough for the state government to honour its

commitment to address its historic underfunding of SA Catholic schools;

The state’s agreement to commit additional funding for schooling over the next six years is

welcomed but is not good enough if our schools have to wait over three years for any real

impact;

You expect the state government to come to the party and revise its funding agreement to

commit more additional funds to SA Catholic schools now – we won’t wait another six years

for funding fairness.

The next state election is in March 2014. Tell your local member:

We’re Catholic school parents….and we vote.
