A letter was mailed to parents this week This Saturday

Blessed Edmund Rice

In preparing this weekrsquos newsletter article I came across a brief reflection from Br Philip Pinto Superior General of the Congregation of Christian Brothers 2002 to 2014 on the occasion

of the Beatification of Edmund Rice in 1996 Br Philip powerfully captures the reason why every year on May 5 we stop and celebrate Edmund Rice day Please read below

ldquoFifteen years ago I was in Rome in St Peterrsquos Square at the Beatification of Edmund Rice And I realised at that moment that what was happening was Edmund Rice being taken from the Christian Brothers and presented to the whole world he was now a model for the world to imitate I felt a great pride at that moment And as I looked around at the crowd I saw people from all over the world England and Ireland North America ndash that is the USA and Canada New Zealand and Australia Sierra Leone Zambia South Africa Kenya India and a number of countries in Latin America Papua New Guinea ndash and what amazed me was that people from all over the world had gathered to celebrate with this man And it dawned on me that when one lives life for others the whole world sits up and notices it And as we celebrate the feast of Blessed Edmund ndash the 5th of May ndash I ask you what are you celebrating You belong to an Edmund Rice school ndash but that does not necessarily mean that you are an Edmund Rice person So what must you do to be an Edmund Rice person I think the answer is with Edmund himself He lived in such a way that his heart was broken

open for people ndash we are told that he opened his whole heart to the poor ndash compassion ndash was at the heart of what Edmund was about And compassion means opening my heart so that someone else comes into the centre ndash and I am not in the centre of my life someone else is at the centre of my life When was the last time someone was at the centre of your life When was the last time you moved away from the centre and let someone else in And if you really want to celebrate the feast then I invite you over the coming days ndash even today for one moment for one experience for one situation ndash put someone else at the centre see who needs you You belong to a group that is much bigger than the school - the Edmund Rice Network spreads all over the world in over thirty countries in all of the continents can you open your heart large enough and big enough ndash to allow people from other parts of the world to occupy that central space - so that their needs come before your own When you do that ndash then you are celebrating Edmund Rice dayrdquo

PrayersPlease keep in your prayers the Bromley family on the recent passing of Frank Bromley an Old Boy of St Edmundrsquos and brother of Richard who also passed away earlier this year Frankrsquos funeral service was held at St Maryrsquos Church yesterday The Bromley family have a long association with the College May Frank rest in eternal peace in Godrsquos loving embrace

I ask that you also keep in your prayers the wonderful Eddiersquos staff We have a number of staff who are absent while caring for their loved ones as well as staff who have experienced loss in recent times On this day when we celebrate the life of Blessed Edmund Rice our Founder may we also acknowledge those who keep his dream alive right here in Ipswich the hard-working and dedicated staff of St Edmundrsquos College

Edmund Rice Day MassThe College celebrated the life of Blessed Edmund Rice today at St Maryrsquos Parish Church We would particularly like to thank the St Maryrsquos Parish staff for their continued support and guidance particularly Fr Steven Bliss From our own community we thank Ms Frances OrsquoSullivan Mr Tim Kirkwood and the great St Edmundrsquos musicians choir and Senior House Leaders They all contributed to celebrate a wonderful MassFor Edmund everyday life and religious life were intertwined He lived the Gospel Values by not only educating the poor Irish children but he visited many prisoners in jail He saw the need to extend the hand of compassion to others Even at a time when the social structure of a society was separated along religious affiliations Edmundrsquos newly formed schools attracted Protestant pupils This would have been very unusual at the time Perhaps it was because Edmundrsquos established positive reputation among the merchant class was so strong it bridged the divide of religion Protestants saw good teaching (or in those dayshellipgood instruction) was exactly that good teaching irrespective of whether it was through a Catholic lens or not As a teacher in an Edmund Rice school we have two main responsibilities 1 to robustly and constructively educate our young men 2 to do this through a Catholic lens whereby life is sacred and we have the power to generate social change For examplehellipread on

May The Month of MaryThere was a time (in May) that we would all pause at school and say The Angeles or stop at 600pm in the evening to say The Rosary During this month in Period 3 each day our whole school community is pausing for five minutes to foreground the role that women play in our lives Mary is so often used as a symbol of Motherhood in our own Catholic faith so we will use the Hail Mary and ask Mary to intercede on our behalf As a middle-aged

man not only within the Eddiesrsquo community but the broader Australian community I (and in turn we males) need to take responsibility for how women are treated in this country Recent statistics depict atrocious rates of violence and intimidation perpetrated by Australian men on women When we pause for five minutes during Period 3 to pray as a whole school community our boys will be educated on some of these dreadful statistics and how we as males need to be the agent for change We will stress to the students that this education must begin in the home on the school bus train or how they talk to their friends about girls on social media and in general conversation If I am responsible for educating young men to be agents for social change irrespective of what job they may have in the future respecting the dignity of women must be an outcome for our kind men strong men Eddiesrsquo MEN

Mums lsquonrsquo Chums - Friday 12 May - 545pmDonrsquot forget this Eddiesrsquo evening that celebrates Mothers and Motherrsquos Day

Open DayWe are looking for tour guides for the College Open Day on Saturday 27 May 2017 In the past students have paired themselves with a buddy and rostered themselves on either before or after their game against St Patrickrsquos College It is one thing for a potential parent to hear from Mr Hudson or myself the great things that the College does it is a richer experience if a student can explain what they like in the College and what makes Eddies that special place Encourage your son to give his name to Mr Mike Hudson (Director of Service Learning and Student Formation) mhudsonsecqldeduau or myself khalpinsecqldeduau to volunteer for this great day They can roster themselves on before or after their sporting fixture

ImmersionsIf your son was successfully selected for an Immersion in 2017 a number of notes were distributed in the last ten days If you have not received notes regarding Immersions could you please ask your son to see Mr Mike Hudson or myself so that you can be aware of the latest developments

Years 9 and 10 Chinese ExcursionLast Friday 28 April 2017 the Years 9 and 10 Chinese classes had the opportunity to visit the Buddha Birthday Festival at South Bank and experience some of the culture behind that we are learning about in class Accompanied by Mr Dan King and Mr Cronos Chen we experienced traditional Chinese tea-making and tried our hand at meditation Chinese yo-yoing and martial arts We finished the day with a show filled with Chinese-themed performances The highlight of the show and the entire Festival for me was a Chinese yo-yoing display performed by a group of young and talented Taiwanese men Overall it was a great experience that has built my appreciation and understanding of Chinese culture

Year 12 QCS and STUDY EVENINGThis week twenty-five of our Year 12 students completed a Queensland Core Skills (QCS) workshop after school and participated in a Study Evening on Thursday until 700pm I congratulate these young men on leading by example with their QCS preparation and dedication to their school work

STUDY SKILLS HANDBOOK Newsletter - MayRESOLVING CONFLICT AROUND HOMEWORKSome of the most common arguments at home (related to schoolwork) lead to statements like thisbull ldquoStop playing computer games and do your homeworkrdquobull ldquoI told you get off your phone I can see you are on

Facebookrdquobull ldquoWhy havenrsquot you started your homework yetrdquobull ldquoWhat do you mean you have no schoolwork to dordquo

If these are common refrains in your household there are some simple steps that can be taken to deal with thisStep 1 Family meeting Both students and parents get a chance to explain what is bugging themStep 2 Agree on how much time will be allocated to schoolwork per day or per weekStep 3 Agree that during this time homework will be the first priority then assessments and any remaining time should be spent on independent learning (eg reviewing difficult work making summaries)Step 4 Allocate set times for schoolwork and write these out and put them on the fridge eg Monday 400 to 500pm 600 to 630pmStep 5 Agree that in these blocks of time there will be no personal technology use (preferably phones switched off and put out of sight)Step 6 Decide on rewards and consequences if the agreement is not honouredThere are many units in wwwstudyskillshandbookcomau that can help you specifically with these areas

The St Edmundrsquos College ldquoSkool 2 Skooliesrdquo initiative was created by St Edmundrsquos studentsin 2003 to highlight the positive contributions thatyoung people can make to their community andgive back to the community that has done so much for them over the past five years of their lives

Each year Year 12 students from the College are given the opportunity to live out the College ethos and continue their lsquogentlemanlyrsquo behaviour by committing themselves to raise funds for three charities which encapsulate the spirit of social justice within the Ipswich community Australia and worldwide The Ipswich Hospice St Vincent de Paul and the Christian Brothersrsquo Immersion Programs

Last year through the dedication of students and charitable donations from local Ipswich entities we were able to raise in excess of $20000 a donation of $7500 to each of the previously mentioned groups These donations assisted in creating a tangible change in the work carried out by these life-altering support networks Approximately thirty students from this yearrsquos Skool 2 Skoolies ride have already begun continuing the legacy through raising funds for this worthwhile cause As they begin to ramp up preparations greasing their gears and getting some valuable kilometres in their legs these young men will continue to step off their bikes and onto the streets in search of support in one of the following ways

CHAMPION Sponsor - $1200bull Champion sponsors have a full width namelogo printed in the

most prominent locations on the eventrsquos cycling clothing (Typically the front or rear centre of the jersey) bull Receive a complimentary set of event clothingbull Acknowledgement in media coverage as well as school broadcasts

Breakaway Sponsor - $800bull Breakaway sponsors have a large namelogo printed on the event clothingbull (Typically on the side of the jersey or sleeves)

Peloton Sponsor - $400 bull Peloton sponsors have a small namelogo printed on the event

clothing (Typically upper chest jersey pockets or high on the back)

Saddle Sponsor - $2500 bull This is a unique opportunity for interested businesses to become

the sole sponsor of the cycling knicks (shorts) for the ride Your business logo would feature prominently on the outside of the leg on all riders

Any support that can be offered for this meaningful cause would be greatly appreciated

Round 1 vs Iona College 28 April 2017

Open SEC 8 IONA 8 DrawSenior A SEC 12 IONA 4 WinSenior B SEC 7 IONA 9 LossIntermediate A SEC 14 IONA 2 WinIntermediate B SEC 19 IONA 7 Win

A fantastic start to this yearrsquos AIC season Iona provided some tough competition but our players did not disappoint Our Open team led the way with three wins in the first round Congratulations to Stuart Kalinowski Nicholas Summers and Pierce Scott for their first Open win of the competition Iona came back with force in the second match to level the round but we were pleased to come away with a draw given the quality of their players Senior A had a great start winning three matches in each round with all four players recording at least one win each Senior B had a very close loss ndash with some new players to AIC this year in this team inexperience played a large role in this result and that will no doubt improve in the coming weeks

Intermediate A had a fantastic afternoon of chess losing just one of the eight games played and Intermediate B (pictured) managed a narrow win largely due to the persistence of Jacob Ivanovic whose experience from being in last yearrsquos premier winning team forced him to continue to the bitter end and force a draw from what looked to be a sure loss Well done to Jacob for not giving up

Special mention goes to all boys who won both their matches and are undefeated so far Nicholas Summers (Opens) Luke Goldspring and Leo Anthony (Sen A) Mitchell Vesper Ekachai Adams and Daniel Fordham (Int A) and Kobie Low and Jack Cumner (Int B)

Players need to make sure they keep coming to training as it is evident from last weekrsquos scores that it pays to put in the hard yards All information will be up on edE each week so please use this to keep informed This week we are playing our first away match Students will contact home with an approximate time of arrival back at school so that they can be met promptly at the bus stop on Arthur Street

ROUND 1 vs Iona College 29 April 20171sts ndash Loss 25 - 29 The First XV played a rock-solid game against visitors Iona College Our Eddiesrsquo men came out strong with the intent to show all supporters what a good pre-season lead up determination and hard work can do With signs of brilliance and sheer skill the players managed to go into the first half with a 25-10 lead however with some unlucky calls and a couple of slipped tackles we gave Iona a chance We were unable to complete our set piece and secure the win ending the game with a close score at 29-25 Point scorers were Corey Sherman with 2 tries Romeo Tanielu with 1 and Skipper Joshua McCarroll converting 2 penalties and 2 tries 2nds ndash Loss 0 ndash 33 It is tough to win Rugby without the ball We continued to turn over possession at crucial times and our defence was vastly inconsistent A lack of composure with the ball in hand made it hard to make metres Cooper Filtness has dogged in defence and Joseph Lyons was tenacious at the breakdown3rds ndash Loss 0 ndash 50 Some good play in general but way too many mistakes Iona were a quality side and made us pay every time we made an error Best players were Hayden Walker Jackson Ahrens and Jack Fisher16A ndash Loss 0 ndash 60 Some good individual efforts and good set pieces however first line defence and insufficient speed on othe wings let us down10A ndash Loss 5 ndash 14 Missed opportunities

in attack and slight hesitation at the breakdown let us down in a tightly contested game We need to ensure we start games strongly Some strong runs by Ryan Holden and aggressive defence by Hunter Pearce contributed to a consistently high spirit throughout the team Our players continue to show improvement across the park10B ndash Loss 7 ndash 50 We had a tough start to the AIC season without any training sessions under our belt The players worked hard however ultimately lacked some defensive application to let through a few points A great runaway try from the backs showed the potency we have in offense but defence is still where we need to improve We lost although we are confident we can turn it around this week against Padua 9A ndash Loss 5 ndash 38 A disappointing effort in defence allowed the opposition to dictate terms throughout the match Austin Bishop worked hard at the breakdown and Jayden James did not stop trying all day9B ndash Win 17 ndash 10 The first half was dominated by a strong Iona forward pack thus limiting our possession Harrison Midgley worked tirelessly at the ruck to keep us in the contest Our backs played with freedom and creativity in the second half with Nicholas Mallet and Luke Marsh scoring tries to give us a victory9C ndash Win 31 ndash 5 Outstanding team victory All boys played for their teammates8A ndash Loss 5 ndash 31 After a shock early try we regained our composure and started to get

into the game Some great efforts in the forwards from Samuel Callaghan which allowed Hayden Bacon and Brayden Waddle to get the ball moving forward The backs were consistent however unfortunately we went down8B ndash Loss 0 ndash 27 The team played well for their first outing They have a number of things to improve on however their defence was strong for most of the game7A ndash Win 25 ndash 16 After a shaky start we woke up and started stringing together phases in attack and counter-rucking in defense Tireless work given from our forward pack all game and great vision shown from our playmakers7B ndash Loss 0 ndash 41 The team started off strongly holding out the opposition with good defence Good attack saw some close tries however we were unable to get over the line Standout performances from Nicholas MacDonald Connor Sampson and Ethan Sadler7C ndash Loss 0 ndash 53 A solid start from the team laid the foundation for an intense game however Iona used the pace to beat us on the outside Many positives came from this game with great defence shown by all players Credit is given to Jack Halvorsen who made some storming runs

ROUND 1 vs Iona College 29 April 20171sts ndash Loss 2 - 5 A spirited team effort right up until the final whistle was not enough for St Edmundrsquos to start the 2017 season with a positive result The game started in amazing circumstances with Seb Scaroni audaciously lobbing the opposition number one straight from the kick off sending the home crowd into raptures However this was the only highlight for St Edmundrsquos in an ill-disciplined first half which saw Iona take a 3-1 lead going into the interval A reshuffle of formation and a more intelligent approach in the defensive transitions saw Eddies start to take control of the game and look to get back into contention However further ill-discipline and we were down to nine men A tough physical game followed with neither team crafting clear-cut chances although many half chances at both ends and it was Iona with the extra man who managed the games next goal on a breakaway out of their own half The introduction of Damon PageTresor Rusangiza and Ronald Kamba Batal and a more attacking approach sparked some life into a tired team however Iona again broke away to score a fifth and put the result to bed We drove hard in the final ten minutes and had numerous opportunities to score however Ronald Kamba was the only one to do so and the game finished in Ionarsquos favour The team showed amazing courage and heart to compete under the negative numerical circumstances with Lachlan Bilyj Nicholas Tobin Connor Manley and Dylan Vit being outstanding in their efforts for the College 2nds ndash Loss 0 ndash 1 A difficult result to digest given our domination of a significant portion of the game Poor finishing and lack of composure cost us in key moments Trent Hoare was excellent in goals whilst Thomas Webster defended well3rds ndash Loss 1 ndash 2 Joshua Wendt had an exceptional game as did Riley Smith Cooper Richardson hit a screamer Overall we were inconsistent with our effort 4ths ndash Loss 2 ndash 3 After conceding a goal in the first half and again early in the second the team fought back to draw level after Matthew Smailes scored two goals A

good effort by the team playing together for the first time5ths ndash Loss 0 ndash 2 We played well together Our opponent challenged our defence and they rose to the occasion Jacob Maxwell in goals should be proud of the job he did for his team with many impressive saves Oliver Klose and Connor Weber had close shots on goal10A ndash Loss 1 ndash 2 We dominated the early stages and deservedly took the lead when Aiden Perry finished off a good passing move Some clinical finishing from Iona proved the difference in a game where we deserved more Oliver Schmidt William Rashleigh and Connor Asquith were our best10B ndash Win 2 ndash 1 The team had a very strong first performance to beat last yearrsquos Premiers in a close encounter Some stand-out performances were Flynn Morris-Shute and William Eddowes in defence and Christian Thomas and Nichalous Petryszyn in offence Blair Goatham also performed valiantly on the left wing 10C Loss 1 ndash 4 A strong first half had the scores locked at nil-all when we went to the break Lapses in concentration saw Iona score four goals A great game and a cracker of a goal by Declan Jolly9A ndash Loss 2 ndash 7 An electric start saw us up 2-0 and dominating the game which was not maintained Some excellent finishing and slow second phase defending meant that we conceded goals with regularity Kerryn Ryan and Samuel Janison looked dangerous at times9B ndash Loss 0 ndash 3 The players struggled in the first half with the pressure from Iona We got back on top in the second half with some strong pressure by Cooper Vandermaat Plenty to take out of a strong second half 8A ndash Loss 0 ndash 2 A brilliant effort by all the players in a game that could have gone either way with teams creating scoring opportunities throughout Iona scored their first goal with only minutes remaining and as we pushed forward to snag a late equaliser we left ourselves a little short at the back Great game by Thomas Bopf filling in as keeper Jake Miller and Ekachai Adams were superb in the middle

at the back whilst Matt Brown contained an extremely fast winger the whole game 8B ndash Loss 1 ndash 17 A tough start to the season against a very skilful opposition Despite the scoreline the players worked hard for the entire match never giving up They should be very proud of their efforts on the day 8C ndash Loss 0 ndash 18 Despite the scoreline it was great to see the players having fun and enjoying themselves Playing against a quality opponent the team kept their heads up for the entire game Special mention to Daniel Carter and Daniel Tucker for their efforts at the back 7A ndash Loss 0 ndash 2 A courageous effort from the players with the scoreline nil-all until the final stages of the game Some fantastic defensive work from our backs was excellent to watch 7B ndash Draw 1 ndash 1 A great way to start the season All the players had input until the final whistle and were unlucky not to win Jayden Smith had a great game in goals with Kai Brown and Carter Vandermaat having solid games at the back 7C ndash Loss 1 ndash 7 A great effort by the team with the game being in the balance at 1-1 at halftimeThe game got away from us in the second half however the players did not stop working until the final whistle A well taken goal from Blade Gourley and solid performances from Hunter Swincer and Bailey Lax 7D ndash Loss 3 ndash 6 The team started slowly being down 4-0 at halftime However we came back with a vengeance winning a hard fought second half 3-2 Tait Broadhurst scored all three of our goals and narrowly missed a fourth right on full time Hamish Henderson had a great game on the wing with Cody Knight working tirelessly in the middle
