Dear Parents, Students and Guardians,

The Church has a sequence of major celebrations from Easter onwards. These are the Feasts of the Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and the Body and Blood of Jesus. In this way the Church is highlighting significant understandings of the nature of Jesus and of the Trinitarian God.

Yesterday, the Church celebrated the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. We recall Jesus saying, ‘take and eat and drink; do this in memory of me’. It is because of this direction that we celebrate the Eucharist at the important times of the year and important times in our lives.

Lord Jesus, you promisedthat when two or three

would get together in your namethen you would be present with them.

May your Spiritlead us to grow more awareof your presence in our lives

today and everydayAmen.

As we draw to the end of Term 2, I have been pleased with the work being done by our students in both their curricular and co-curricular activities. The following are observations of these activities:

MusicalOur 2014 musical, Guys and Dolls, was a success due to the hard work of our director Mr Jorge Vafeas. It was very pleasing to see the students singing, dancing, acting and supplying technical support.

DebatingThe Debating Teams under the direction of Mr Greg Quinn and Mr Chris Moysa have had another good season. On Friday evening, the Year 11 team were successful against St. Patrick’s Strathfield. This team now progresses to the round of four in Catholic Schools Debating.

ChessThe Chess Teams under the direction of Ms Vicky Drivilas and Mr Luis Dela Paz have been competing this term. The Junior A Team will now move on to the quarterfinals.

ImmersionsOur three Immersion groups have been meeting and planning their trips. The India Immersion is being led by Ms Carolyn O’Brien. The Cambodia Immersion is being led by Ms Paula Reinhold and the Northern Territory Immersion is being led by Mr Stephen Versteegh. We have in total nine teachers and twenty-six Year 12 students on these Immersions.

Our teachers have been very busy this term in developing their teaching programs for the new Australian Curriculum. This year, Year 7 and Year 9 student learning in English, Maths, Science and Geography is set in the new Curriculum. Next year students in Years 8 and 10 will also be working from the new Australian Curriculum.

One of our local initiatives in the preparation of teachers for this new curriculum has been the Marist Cluster Days. Our Director of Teaching & Learning, Miss Ann McGovern had a major responsibility in the organisation of these days. Both this year and last year, Marist North Shore was joined by Marcellin Randwick and Marist College Penshurst in these Cluster Days. This means that we have a collegial Marist network in which our teachers can network and further develop their teaching ideas. Next year the Cluster will hold a joint Spirituality Day to focus on Marist Spirituality.

Last Saturday, the Parents and Friends held their annual Trivia Night in the La Valla Hall. This gathering was supported by a large group of parents. The evening was tightly contested with the eventual winners being the table called the Young Ones, in memory of Rik Mayall, not in light of their significantly youthful faces. Mrs Claire Manning with the support from Mr Rob Manning, Mrs Elizabeth Byrne and the Parents and Friends, they did some great work enabling the evening to occur.

I hope that you all have a safe and relaxing break and I look forward to all the students returning in Term 3.

CORRECTION:In the last High Notes, we incorrectly acknowledge another student for being awarded a Blue Tie. It was actually Thomas Colgan

(Salta) who was awarded the Blue Tie for his service and leadership for the College.

Apologies to Tom and congratulations!

SENTRAL - PARENTAL PORTAL

As you may be aware the College last year introduced a new initiative, a program called Sentral that assists the College with data management. It has assisted the College with a variety of elements within school life like attendance, reporting, messaging parents and timetables to name just a few.

Within this program, there is a feature titled Student and Parent Portal. This allows both parents and students discreet information about each student’s progress in our school. The student portal was launched earlier this term and students are aware of the functionality of this portal.

The Parent Portal will allows parents access to features that include:

1. An overview of student attendance2. Your son’s NAPLAN results3. Your son’s timetable4. Booking for Parent/Teacher Interviews

A letter has been sent to parents regarding the details of the program and how it can be accessed. We hope to build on the functionality of the program for parents. We feel that this will continue to give parents a further connection with your son’s education.

PARENT/TEACHER INTERVIEWS

A further letter will be sent to parents over the holiday break which will give details in regards to the process of booking interviews through Sentral. Parent/Teacher Interviews will open on Sentral on Monday 14th July at 7.00pm for Years 7 & 11 and on Tuesday 15th July at 7.00pm for Years 8, 9 & 10.

CHAMPAGNAT FEAST DAY ADDRESS

I would like to share with the Marist community Jack Garay’s address to the College as the Senior Champagnat Award winner for 2014. I think it reflects the wonderful qualities of Jack as a leader and the deep connection he has to the Marist community.

Good morning Mr Duncan, Teachers and gentlemen; my brothers. It’s with great honour today that I’ve been rewarded with the opportunity to speak with you all about the aspects of Marist that makes this place like a home away from home. What makes Marist North Shore, Marist North Shore? I personally find it impossible to describe the overall aura of the school with a few simplistic adjectives or photo. From day one we’ve been drilled in the skills of school life and made to explore the foundations of the school itself, from the rules of the playground and the classroom, to handling the major events from carnival’s to the chess competition, and ultimately about the life of St. Marcellin Champagnat alongside the five charisms we’ve been able to derive from his work. The thing is the trick to ‘surviving and thriving’ I’ve discovered is that you have to learn to be apart of, and love, as many aspects of the school that you can.

Love of Work, Simplicity, In the Way of Mary, Family Spirit, Presence. It is these characteristics which resonate throughout this place.

Love of Work is one charism that both staff and students can easily relate to. My first guide to surviving your schooling time here at the College comes directly from the ideal of learning to your best potential. Love of Work however, is not permanently linked in with simply ‘liking homework’ or ‘standing out in class’. Loving your work relies on your environment. It’s all about having those friends you can share notes with, not being scared to actually have a conversation with a teacher, and most of all, don’t... fall... asleep.

The second step to thriving at the school, is to embrace the Simplicity. When was the last time one of you had a KISS moment? ...Come on be honest? You know one of those ‘Keep It Simple Silly’ moments? The fact you’re all part of one big schooling family here allows all your activities at the College to generally fly smoothly and easily. Life will always find a

Page 4: High Notes #9 - 23rd June 2014

way to help you balance things, so just do your best to enjoy your time here, both education-wise and with your friends, and the stressful side of life will surely make a turn for the best!

In the Way of Mary is my third step, one that is linked directly with the religious side of schooling life. I know a lot of you guys may be less inclined to be in touch with your spiritual side, but this charism is one you can carry on with you. Looking at the life of Mary today, her life morals and values are still highly relevant in our present context. The ability of any one individual to place others before themselves, be spiritually content, love unconditionally and be forgiving in nature, is something hard to come by in today’s society. Through immersing yourselves in selfless caring acts, you may not only make a difference to someone else’s day, but you may just find you’ll get a kick out of it too! Doing simple things like helping Mum out with the dishes, taking time to help a friend with their homework, or even NOT attempting to kick a fellow student’s handball over the roof of the school are all simple steps towards gaining mutual support for one another. Marcellin saw Mary as the way we could easily access Jesus; all to Jesus through Mary, all to Mary for Jesus.

Another way of finding the strength to thrive at the College is to immerse yourselves in the Family Spirit that lives here. Learning to feel included and to embrace the family sense within the school can become one of the most fearful and challenging exercises you undertake in the younger years. Getting used to the idea of leaving troublesome siblings at home, only to come to the comfort of the school environment to find yourself ‘misplaced’ inside a bin by your new older brothers can be quite a daunting daily routine. Experiencing the expert money ‘borrowing’ techniques of the older students at the canteen line is another hurdle we all learn to overcome. What’s a family without a bit of chaos, right? But amidst the chaos, we’re able to see what makes this place so special. The sense of support and compassion across the school is what turns peers to siblings, and staff to parents. The fact that we can build up these parental-like relationships with teachers and add ‘brothers’ to our families has to be my favourite aspect of the college, and I hope that every student gets the same opportunity to grow their family for years to come.

FROM THE DEPUTY HEADMASTERThe conclusive guide towards making the most of your time here at the College is derived directly from the charism of Presence. It may be one of the cliche lines you hear at the College, but you have to do your best to ensure that you’re ‘present’ within the College community. St. Marcellin Champagnat made it his life work to be present in the lives of the children and young men he was able to educate, meaning we probably wouldn’t be standing in this hall today if it wasn’t for his dedication to being a part of his community. Your ‘school clock’ is on a count down from the day you start in Year 7, and if you ask any Year 12, we could all assure you that it’s been the fastest six years of our lives. You won’t get the chance to relive the times with your brothers, so if I can get through to you all on one aspect today, my message is - GET INVOLVED. No matter your mindset, if you’re offered the opportunity to be involved in any aspect of the schooling life, it will only make you a bigger person from it. Just remember, some of the worst experiences make for the greatest memories, and you can’t find your own strengths and talents unless you give something a go. The Leadership Team has even attempted to subliminally place the thought in your minds with the theme of ‘Service’ this year!

Finally, I’d like to thank you all for making time here at the College so memorable. If I was told in Year 7 that I’d end up growing up with 130 brothers and having the best six years of high school imaginable, I wouldn’t of believed anyone for a second. The fact that I could be myself from day dot and enjoy my entire time here is what I think makes the College so special. It has been truly humbling this week to stand in the footsteps of Marcellin Champagnat to see that his dream is alive and well at Marist College North Shore.

So don’t be scared to be who you are, and accept others for who they are too. Everyone has a story and everyone has a dream. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours, and hope you’ll always carry your own piece of Marist with you for years to come.

All the best boys.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY

On Monday 16th June we hosted a Teaching and Learning showcase day at Marist North Shore with Marcellin Randwick and Marist College Penshurst to share best Teaching and Learning

practice amongst the three Marist schools. It was a very beneficial day and its success was as a result of the engagement of all teachers into the day. Special thanks to the thirty students who volunteered to help out on the day, the Marist North Shore teachers who ran workshops and the outstanding catering provided by Mrs Elizabeth Byrne who was assisted by her husband Conor, Mrs Annie Lucas and Ms Georgia Moloney.

LANGUAGE

LANGUAGE PERFECT

All French classes in Year 8, the elective Years 9 and 10 classes and the Year 12 French Beginners class have been busy getting points on Language Perfect since the middle of Term 2. But what is Language Perfect? It is a wildly popular online language learning tool helping thousands of students from around the world get excited about learning a language.

The French students at Marist North Shore have been thoroughly enjoying this multi-modal, interactive and fun site where they learn new and relevant vocabulary to what they are learning in class that week. It is rapid-fire answering - the quicker the typer you are, the better! Students have been learning to translate written French into English, and vice-versa, as well as responding to spoken French.

Marist North Shore was lucky to start Language Perfect just before they held the Language Perfect World Championships! Our students were clocking in thousands of answers in a race to get as many points as possible! At a future assembly, we will be awarding certificates to those students that did exceptionally well in the World Championships as well as awarding prizes including an iPod Nano from the Language Perfect team.

We are looking forward to a great Term 3 using Language Perfect!

YEAR 10 ELECTIVE FRENCH

A snapshot into a Language classroom: Year 10 are currently learning about part-time jobs and to see how much they’ve learned, they participated in an activity called Running Dictation. In groups of three or four, they had a

“runner” who would run to the board to read a paragraph on part-time jobs in French. The “runner” would memorise a few words or a line at a time, and run back to their group at the other end of the classroom to relay the text. The group members had to try and write the correct spelling/punctuation of what was being relayed to them.

Groups started to proclaim “Nous avons fini!” (“We have finished!”) only to find out they had missed a part of their text. After much excitement and annoyance at realising they had an accent the wrong way round on an “e”, the winning group was announced!

CHESS

JUNIOR B TEAM - ROUND 5

Our match for Round 5 was against Killara A. Board 3 of their team were not present so Adrian Cheung moved down to Board 4. The game was very exciting, challenging and successful. We got off to a rocky start, with my game being very close to being lost, however I played a few traps and defeated my tough opponent.

Thomas Chheou also did very well as usual, beating his opponent. Adrian unfortunately lost but there is always room for improvement in the game.

Our sixth round in the competition was against St. Pius X. The game was tough and one of the most competitive out of all the rounds we have had. Special tactics had to be used in my game so I could win. Thomas and Adrian were very competitive, but unfortunately weren’t successful this time. Jack successfully defeated his opponent.

Our results were 2-2, so it wasn’t our best game but we did our best. I hope to have a good game against Shore A to close up the competition for 2014.

JUNIOR A TEAM

In Round 1 our team had a win against Balgowlah Boys High, 2.5 points our way with two wins from Jamie and I and a draw by Dylan. Our loss came from our board 4 being unable to make the game and therefore had to forfeit.

Round 2 saw us play North Sydney Boys High on home ground and I personally was shaking with nerves facing a school with the reputation they have. Surprisingly though, we had another 2.5 point win; Dylan and I won. Jamie lost to their captain and Aron had a draw by stalemate.

Then our team played Manly Selective in Round 3. We had a 2-2 draw against them with losses from Jamie and Dylan, a resignation win for Aron and an epic one hour and thirty minute game played by me which came down to a clock with a ten-minute timer. I won!

We played Monte just down the road in round four. They are yet to record a win and is still are with wins to all our players including our new player Daniel Mooney who mysteriously hadn’t played a game until now. It was interesting though playing in such a relaxed atmosphere where they would chat away compared to our usual dead silent games.

In Round 5, we played our own brethren, Marist C and our team had three wins and a draw against our tough Year 8 opponents.

For Round 6, most of our team made it to Chatswood to play St. Pius X. We all won but had a forfeit due to travel problems. With these results and our last round in sight, we can fight for first place.

SCIENCE MUSICALUNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY CHEMISTRY WORKSHOP

At the end of Week 7 this term, the University of Sydney Chemistry department hosted seventeen of our Year 12 Chemistry students.

The program had been arranged by Dr. Jeanette Hurst and it aimed to assist HSC students with their understanding of first-hand experiments. Six PhD students from her department were excellent at organizing the activities and concisely explaining the key points.

To their credit, all our students focused on their tasks spread over two sessions lasting two hours long each. It was an excellent day as endorsed by the happy students in the pictures.

GUYS & DOLLS

The curtain has fallen once again on Marist College North Shore’s annual production. This year’s production was the classic Broadway fable Guys & Dolls.

Set in 1950s New York, the Marist North Shore production of Guys & Dolls was a colourful comic-book homage to the larger-than-life characters of Damon Runyon’s classic short stories. The funny and romantic story of gangsters, Sky Masterson (Roupen Minassian) and Nathan Detroit (Christopher O’Shea), and their gals, Sarah Brown (Rosie Oldfield), a straight-laced Broadway missionary, and Miss Adelaide (Skye Williams), a ditsy Broadway showgirl, was filled with memorable songs like “Luck be a Lady” and “Sit Down Your Rockin’ The Boat”, and witty dialogue, sharp choreography and snappy costumes.

This year’s show was filled with a talented cast of thirty students from Marist College North Shore, complemented by students from Willoughby Girls High School, Monte ‘Sant Angelo and Mercy Catholic College Chatswood. Together with the hardworking Marist College North Shore band and lighting, sound and stage crew, this year’s musical had over sixty students involved, making it one of the biggest productions to date!

Roupen Minassian, Marist’s own Sky Masterson, commented: “Every year, Marist College North Shore puts on a great show for all to enjoy and the support we receive from the other students and the wider Marist community is beyond words. It really is one of the highlights of our school year!”

It is with great pride and tremendous gratitude that I thank the cast, crew and band for their efforts in creating a flawless show. This gratitude also extends to the production team: Mr Kevin Camrass for his vocal coaching, Mr Rod Herbert for the band, Ms Kathleen McGrath for the costumes, Ms Carolyn O’Brien for her brilliant sets and Mr Alexander Casanova for his production management.

A big thank you also goes out to the many staff members that helped each night with Front of House, the intermission canteen and backstage with costumes and make up.
