Friday 28 August was Daffodil Day. Behind the merchandise selling and the organisation and distribution of the beautiful flowers on that day at school, three students, Kobe See Kee, Cody Williamson and myself took part in a morning visit to the Liz Plumber Cancer Care Centre at the Cairns Hospital to hand out fresh daffodils to patients. Prior to the visit, Kobe and I were involved in the filming of a new commercial for the Cancer Council which will be broadcast on television all around Australia. The commercial highlights the amazing and heartfelt idea that Kobe came up with last year; which was to give flowers to the patients that are actually going through cancer treatment as well as the boys that are buying them here at Saints.

Two weeks prior to Daffodil Day, Mrs Gane approached me and asked if I would like to be part of this wonderful opportunity and I jumped at the idea, having been a great supporter of Daffodil Day last year. Alongside a team of over 50 students from all year levels and five staff members, we spent morning tea and lunch breaks selling merchandise and seeking pledges for flowers from the young men of Saints. Then on the afternoon of Daffodil Day a group of five students from different year levels worked as a team to bunch and bag flowers and hand them out to boys who had pledged and paid for their fresh flowers. This was a truly amazing experience that I was honoured to be part of and I look forward to participating in next year's event. I would also like to thank Mrs Gane for organising this event and turning what was a great idea into an inspiring reality.Cameron Agius Year 9 student

Dear Members of the Saints Community,This week, I want to focus my attention on Fathers' Day! Fathers play a key role in the formation of their sons and daughters, although you can argue that their role in the life of their son is even more critical. My years of working with students and parents, particularly boys and the many interactions with fathers over this time, along with the relationship I had with my own father, form the basis for my thoughts and comments on this topic.Fathers have the unique task of shaping and developing the identity of their sons, especially during the teenage years. Whether you like it or not, your son looks to you as the primary role model of being a man. Tucked away in the hearts and minds of our boys, albeit unconscious most of the time, is the question: how do I be a man in the world? You are the first and most significant example of this as he makes sense of his life at this most formative time.In practical terms, this means being around and spending time with him, taking an interest in what he is interested in, engaging him in conversations about things that really matter and so forth. It requires a preparedness to talk about and model all aspects of life. And this can be challenging!I appreciate the tension that I know many fathers feel in trying to maintain their career or work life and spend quality time with the family. Finding the balance here takes great wisdom and causes much conflict in the hearts of fathers. While I believe time is important, it is also the quality of the time and how it is spent that weighs in here. A boy should see that his father can be vulnerable at times. A father should not feel that he has to be ‘strong’ all the time, whatever that actually means. Boys should be exposed to a wider range of emotions than anger and others our society has ordained as being correct for men. The capacity to express a range of emotions is the foundation of a healthy psychological life. The range should be modelled to the boy so he can see it in action. What you choose NOT to do or say can be equally important. The ‘unspoken’, especially when it comes to emotion, can be most powerful and shape a young person’s experience. Celia Lashlie*, a well know speaker on raising boys who visited here a few years ago, emphatically states that the teenage years are like a bridge that a boy needs to cross and the most important person to cross that with him is his father. She makes it clear that a mother cannot take that unique journey with the boy. The mother can be a support act but the father needs to be at centre stage with the boy as he negotiates the difficulties of this stage of life. That is why Celia believes that “what boys want, more than anything, is the eyes of their fathers upon them”.

A father once said to me, “I used to have five theories and no children and now I have five children and no theories”. Yes, this is obviously not an easy road to take as a parent and there is no university degree or professional qualification for this. To make it more difficult, each child is so unique that what works for one may not work for another. I believe the answer is in the engagement, authenticity with which you enter the relationship and love! You are not being judged like you are at work where you might be trying to meet certain benchmarks or KPIs. It is being an active participant in the relationship that matters. Sometimes you’ll get it wrong and I believe that children can understand that as well. It’s in the rub of the relationship that both parties will grow.I am also conscious that for some boys their father may not be present in their lives for various reasons. A teacher, coach, uncle, grandfather or other significant adult male can take on this critical role in the life of a boy. These relationships can be most significant in the formation of any young man. I hope that the celebration of Fathers' Day has been an affirming experience for our dads.I also hope we can spare a thought and prayer of those trying to find a new home in Europe and other parts of the world in the wake of the most significant movement of people since the conclusion of World War 2.With best wishes,

Br Darren BurgePrincipal

find her wisdom on raising boys on the web.

R U OK DAY Today - 10 September A day when all Australians are encouraged to ask

family, friends and colleagues ‘Are you OK?‘ R U OK? is an independent, not-for-profit organisation. The national day of action aims to increase public awareness and understanding about the link between connection, community, well-being and suicide prevention. Programs are designed to provide ongoing education and information. Schools are often the hub of a community. We are in a good place to ask that simple question as we touch base with students, staff and parents as well as having a connection with members of the extended school community. The following 4 step process can help you…..Ask R U OK? - start a general conversation, preferably somewhere private. Ask open ended questions -• ‘What’s been happening? How are you going?’• ‘I’ve noticed that...What’s going on for you at the

moment?’• ‘You don’t seem like yourself and I’m wondering are you

OK?’Listen without judgement - guide the conversation with caring questions and give them time to reply - ‘How has that made you feel? How long have you felt this way? Have you talked to anyone about this?’Don’t rush to solve problems for them.

Help them understand that solutions are available when they are ready to start exploring these.Encourage action - summarise the issues and ask them what they plan to do - ‘What do you think might help your situation?’Encourage them to take one step, such as see their doctor.Follow up - Put a note in your diary to touch base or call them in one week. Ask if they’ve managed to take that first step and see someone. If they didn’t find this experience helpful, urge them to try a different professional because there is someone out there who can help them.Dealing with denial? If they deny the problem, don’t criticise them. Acknowledge they’re not ready to talk. ‘I understand that you don’t want to talk about it but call me when you’re ready to discuss it.’Don’ t worry if you don't get a chance today. You can put that same question to someone any day! www.ruokday.com

We have had a busy term with camps, the open night, sport, excursions, QCS and other very worthwhile events, however, our primary focus is always the academic achievement of our students. As you read this newsletter your son(s) will have commenced their main assessment period for Term 3. Please discuss with him what assessments he may have in the upcoming week. Year 11 and 12 students are in the midst of block exams and the final day for students in Years 7-10 is Thursday 17 September.

Preparation for Term 4 should include haircuts and a check on uniform and shoes. Students are reminded to refer to the Student Diary for guidelines on appropriate haircuts. It is important that we get these “small things” right so that we can focus on the “bigger” things. Term 4 commences on Tuesday 6 October.

Many thanks for all your support over the past term. I hope that your sons' holidays are enjoyable for you as well.

lZ7 Social Justice WorkshopThe Year 10 Saints boys had the privilege of witnessing an outstanding performance hosted by the ‘I See Change’ crew and their guests, British band LZ7. The LZ7 performance inspired many of the students to do something, to change something, to rise up and spark a change. LZ7’s songs were written about real circumstances around the world, for instance their song 27 Million was written about ‘Human Trafficking’. The song outlined the outrageous fact that there was 27 million people caught up in and on this cruel journey. From viewing the LZ7 performance key ideas were extracted; that was that everyone and anyone can do something, can stand up for their beliefs, can have a voice for people who don’t. Finally on behalf of the boys, I’d like to say a big thank you to Mrs Lynch and everyone else who was a part of bringing LZ7 and the ‘I See Change’ crew to Saints. 

Kristian Moes 10.3

“They encouraged us to join in the song which made me feel like the whole of Year

10 was a group that was against child slavery.”

“The message I took away from LZ7’s workshop was that anyone can make a

difference. If just one person stands up for what they believe in and tries to make a

difference, others will follow.”

Courage to Care exCursion

During September, Year 7 students were invited to the Courage to Care Exhibition at the Seville Mercy Conference Centre. As well as having a guided tour around the exhibition, the students met Holocaust survivors, who shared their stories with them. They also took part in a session to reflect on what it means to have the courage to care in the face of prejudice and discrimination. The boys felt privileged to have met someone who had gone through such traumatic events in their life, and were humbled that these people were willing to share a small part of their journey. We are not likely to forget this experience!Mrs Danielle Lynch - Head of Religious Education

arts departmentRoyal Australian Navy Band Visit: Students of the Concert and Big Bands were privileged to have workshops with the RAN Band members on Tuesday 25 August. The morning began at 7.00am with a one hour workshop for the Concert Band working on musicianship. After a short break, the Big Band also went to work with the RAN Band on swing feel and balance. Later that evening at our Cerise and Blue showcase, both bands combined with the RAN band to perform their workshopped pieces. It was a great experience for our students to play with and be workshopped by professional musicians of such high calibre.

Strings at SMC: Congratulations to the Saints String Orchestra for their great performance of two pieces at St Monica’s Cathedral last week.

St Joseph’s Fete: Congratulations to the Saints Big Band and Mrs Spannenburg who performed at the St Joseph’s school fete last Friday. The audience was treated to a 20 minute set of swing, funk and rock music.

The College has one of Danny’s prints from Year 12 hanging in the library and we gave a copy of this print to our touring sister school in Japan. Interestingly, Danny had never done lino printing until being encouraged to do so in Senior Art.

MEX Recital: Congratulations to members of the Music Extension Class, Ben Carter, Haydon Fanning and Ryan O’Grady for their excellent performances last night for their major assessment recital. The standard of performance was very high and a credit to students and their teachers. Well done.

The great Saints Spelling Bee!Earlier in the year a number of Year 7 students participated in the annual International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) Spelling Competition, which is an independent spelling assessment developed in conjunction with Macquarie Dictionary.

It assesses and reports students’ skills at spelling words in four different contexts: dictation, proofreading, error correction and applying rules and conventions. The words tested range from frequently-used/common words with simple spelling patterns to less frequently-used/less common and technical words with difficult or unusual spelling patterns.

These words can be organised under four types of spelling knowledge:

• Visual–using memory of the visual features of a word• Phonological–using sound-letter relationships• Morphological–using parts of words to build word

families• Etymological–using word origins and derivations

We heartily congratulate those students who were outstanding and who were rewarded with Certificates of 2 Merit, 7 Credit, and 1 Distinction, as detailed below:

Merit: Max Jones, Samuel Nicholls.

Credit: Alexis Armstrong-Smith, Noah Browning, Ethan Connors, Max Gadd, David Nguyen, Reuben Porta, Ken Yamamoto.

distinction: Lachlan Fitch.

The students will receive their certificates at an upcoming Principal’s Assembly next term.

Calanna Success!The fear of public speaking is a common one, which according to one American study, is hardwired in the human psyche. However, throughout this quickly evaporating year, a number of Saints lads in Years 7, 8 and 9 determined to overcome their fear of public speaking recently participated in the Calanna Junior Speaking Contest, supported by the Cairns Southside Rotary Club.

Over 1500 students from primary and secondary schools across Cairns initially lined up to compete in this challenging public speaking contest. This year the College was capably represented by Jack Miller, Harrison Price, George Taifalos, Nic Reed, Jack McHenry, Adam Dobson, Gabriel Brown and Daniel Hoffmann, in a hotly contested first round. The lads spoke about `My favourite charity’ or on the topic `What Australia needs right now’. All students represented their College extremely well, with both Nic Reed, Year 7 and Jack McHenry, Year 9, successfully going on to represent the College in the recent Finals held at the Cairns Regional Council Reception rooms.

Seasoned Rostrum participants, both Jack McHenry and Nic Reed were amongst only twenty-seven remaining participants in the competition, and emerged victorious. We congratulate them heartily on their well-deserved success.

Term 3 is close to ending and it has been a hectic few weeks in boarding. Recently the Year 12 boarders tackled their QCS exams and from all accounts handled the stress very well. After a brief pause, the seniors are straight into exam block. Last weekend’s boarders' camp was a huge success, with many positive comments from the boarders about the new camp location at Mulgrave River.

gove & groote Eylandt Country dinners

Last week Br Darren, Czek Kersevani, Father Laurie and I had the privilege of visiting Groote Eylandt and then Gove to host consecutive Country Dinners. Both of these events are highlights in our boarding calendar and were well attended. The first dinner was held Friday night at the Alyangula Recreational Club in Groote with 45 people attending. The following evening, the Country Dinner at the Walkabout Lodge in Gove catered for 19 guests. The striking feature of both of these dinners was the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere and the genuine friendliness from the boarding families in these areas.

The Saints boarding community is very grateful to all the families in these areas for their support. I would like to extend a special thank you to Steve Huggett and Terese Marchesi who gave up their time to take us on a personal tour of both Gove and Groote. Thank you also to Czek Kersevani for his efficient organisation of these events.

End of Term 3

The last two weeks of term are also very busy with final assessments and reporting. At this stage every term we encourage the boarders to remain focused, to work hard and to avoid any situations that will create unnecessary stress. This requires good judgement and good choices. In concentrating on these areas the term ends well for everybody and the boarders go home to their families happy and ready for a well deserved Term 3 holiday.

With best wishes to all of our boarding families for a wonderful holiday with their sons and daughters.

On Friday 28 August, Saints participated in the Regional Finals of the 2015 Queensland Secondary Schools Tennis Competition which was held at the Cairns International Tennis Centre. Sebastian Dunn, Luke Angus, Brock Thompson, Samuel Ferrero and Bruce Jamieson were part of the Saints team that was looking to win their first Interschool Title in four years.

In the first matches of the day, we played Redlynch Secondary College and after some brilliant tennis by the Saints boys, we took out the match convincingly, winning 6 rubbers to 0. In the second tie of the day, we were up against TAS, who had won the title for 4 consecutive years. All sets went down to the wire, with a matter of points deciding the outcomes of each set. To the boys' credit, they dug deep and managed to get over the line winning 4 rubbers to 1 (1 rubber drawn).

It was fantastic to see the level of tennis played with great sportsmanship displayed by all competitors. Acknowledgement must go the boys who participated, along with our coaches, Mr Dave Sellick and Mr Simon Martino. It was a great day for Saints Tennis and no doubt we’ll be back in 2016 to defend our title.
