FROM THE PRINCIPALThis Sunday sees Holy Week begin with Palm Sunday and on the following Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus; the highlight of our Catholic calendar. Included below are the times of the various services in our feeder Catholic parishes and I strongly encourage that all families make time to be part of these services especially on Easter Sunday.

In reflecting on this most significant time in the Catholic Church, I came across an article entitled Holy Week rekindles ancient church traditions by Patricia Freeman from CatholicAnchor.org which may be of interest to you. Exerpts from the article are included below:

In Holy Week, one can catch Catholics in some ancient religious practices – some are so rare, they’re done only once a year. Beginning Palm Sunday and running up to Easter, a week later, “we actually act out parts from Christ’s life,” Dominican Father Vincent Kelber of Holy Family Cathedral in Anchorage told the Catholic Anchor in an interview. In doing so, explained Pope Benedict XVI in a March 2008 address, Christians “share in the mystery of Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection.”

Following are glimpses of what Catholics in the around the world will be doing – and why.

PALMS, PROCESSIONS AND THE PASSIONOn Palm Sunday the Catholic Church recalls Jesus’ messianic entrance into Jerusalem before his crucifixion. As Jesus rode into the city on a small donkey, the Jews gathered around him, throwing cloaks and palm branches on the road and exclaiming praises as he passed by. So at Palm Sunday Mass, there is a blessing of palms which the faithful hold as they process into church. The blessed palms are later kept in the home as a witness to faith in Jesus Christ, the Messianic King, and in his Paschal victory. During Palm Sunday Mass, the Gospel account of the Passion of Christ is announced, with the priest, deacon, readers and congregation reading aloud, respectively, the responses of Christ, the Apostles and the crowds who appear throughout the Passion.

VEILED IMAGESBeginning Palm Sunday, some churches cover or veil – with purple cloth – the religious artwork in the church – except stained glass windows and the Stations of the Cross. In some places, the images are removed altogether. According to Monsignor Peter Elliott, author of “Celebrations of the Liturgical Year,” “The custom of veiling crosses and images … has much to commend it in terms of religious psychology, because it helps us to concentrate on the great essentials of Christ’s work of Redemption.” Still, the somber custom is believed to come from a 9th century German practice of extending a large cloth called the “Hungertuch” (hunger cloth) before the altar from the beginning of Lent. The cloth – which hid the altar – was not removed until during the reading of the Passion on the Wednesday in Holy Week – at the words, “the veil of the temple was rent in two.” Crucifixes are unveiled after the Good Friday ceremonies and all other images just before the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday.

THE LORD’S SUPPEROn Holy Thursday, the Catholic Church celebrates a special Mass of the Lord’s Supper – that commemorates the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper. On the night before Jesus Christ was crucified, he changed bread and wine into his own Body and Blood, and he commanded the Apostles – and their successors through the centuries – to act in his stead and re-present this sacrifice. So at every Mass, by way of transubstantiation, the bread and wine offered by the priest becomes Christ’s Body and Blood again.

WASHING FEETJust as Christ did for his 12 Apostles at the Last Supper and as he commanded them to do likewise, during the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, the priest – who represents Christ – ceremoniously washes the feet of 12 people in the congregation. At the Holy Thursday liturgy in the Vatican, even the pope performs the foot washing. In fact, across the centuries, it has been practice for the pope to wash the feet of 12 priests after Mass and of 13 poor men after his dinner.

GOING WITH JESUS TO GETHSEMANEAfter the Last Supper and before he was arrested and condemned to death, Jesus went to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, accompanied by two of the disciples. So after the Holy Thursday Mass, the remaining sacred hosts are carried out of the sanctuary to an “altar of repose,” and the people go with the Eucharistic Christ in a procession. The transported is sometimes surrounded by decorations of greenery and flowers to suggest a garden. People stay for a time, adoring the wondrous sacrament that Jesus instituted that day 2,000 years ago. Some make an adoration visit at their own parish and then visit others into the night.

LOCAL PARISH EASTER MASS TIMES

A VACANT CHURCHThe Mass of the Lord’s Supper finished, the church – now without the Eucharist – is truly empty. So the tabernacle light – which is always lit and signifying Christ’s presence – is extinguished, and the tabernacle door is left open, exposing the vacant space inside. The altar is stripped bare of its linens and candles, holy water is removed from the church’s fonts and the sacraments are not celebrated until the Easter Vigil. Like the first Christians bereft of Jesus and mourning the two days after the crucifixion, the church stands unadorned until the Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday night. With the resurrection of Jesus, the church’s joy is restored.

STATIONS OF THE CROSSThe Stations of the Cross devotion is centered on the Passion of Christ. While many Catholics pray the meditative prayer on their own across the year, it can be an especially poignant experience during Holy Week, when the entire church recalls the way of Jesus’ suffering and death. In fact, on Good Friday, many churches host parish-wide Stations of the Cross. By praying the Stations of the Cross, a person makes a spiritual pilgrimage to the principal scenes of the salvific Passion of the Lord, aided by artistic representations of those scenes, for example, Pilate’s condemnation of Christ to death and the nailing of Christ to the Cross. Usually, Stations of the Cross are found inside churches, spaced in intervals on the walls, but sometimes outdoors such as in the cloisters of monasteries.

EMBRACE THE CROSSOn Good Friday, the church gathers for the Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion, which includes a reading of a Gospel account of the Passion, Holy Communion (consecrated at Mass on Thursday night) and veneration of the Cross. In that tradition, a priest or deacon holds a wooden crucifix while the faithful process to him at the foot of the sanctuary, as if to receive communion. There each person reverences the crucifix with a kiss or a bow. In some places, there are additional Good Friday devotions. Especially from noon to 3 p.m. – the hour at which Christ died on the cross – some silently meditate, pray the Stations of the Cross or participate in a Good Friday procession.

FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALParents would have noted their sons / daughters are starting to be issued with an increasing number of assessments as the term has progressed. This is normal and forms an essential part of the teaching and learning process. While most of our older students understand the routines and expectations around assessment and home study, some of our younger students will need far more support and guidance. It is important for parents to monitor their child’s home study around heavy assessment periods to ensure they are using their time wisely to get their work done and managing the inevitable stress and worry associated with deadlines, while still making time for other important activities.

As the significant adults in their lives, we enter treacherous territory when we assume that they understand how to manage this. My experience is that students often don’t know how to organise themselves effectively, and they need to be explicitly taught and guided. The College offers a number of supports for students to help them in this area. Here are some supports that can be used at home:

1. Routine, routine, routine: make sure your child establishes one and they stick to it. Don’t allow your child to make excuses and ensure that this time is prioritised.2. Create a space for study: make sure your child has a study environment clear of distractions and is conducive to focused work. 3. Expectations around technology: have your child hand in their phone as part of their study routine.4. Build in breaks: for good nutrition and fluid intake (preferably water).5. Ask for help before it’s too late: teachers want to help your child succeed. Please encourage your child to ask for help if they don’t understand.

Below is a reflection written by a 16 year old girl. This reflection reminds us about what our children need most from us, both parents and teachers, at this time in their lives.

Don’t spoil me: I know quite well I ought not to have all that I ask for; I’m only testing you.Don’t be afraid to be firm with me: I prefer it; it makes me feel secure.Don’t let me form bad habits: I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.Don’t correct me in front of people: I’ll take more notice if you talk quietly with me privately.Don’t make me think my mistakes are sins: It upsets my sense of values.Don’t be too upset when I say ‘I hate you’: It isn’t you I hate but your power to thwart me.Don’t protect me from any consequences: I need to learn the painful way by facing my mistakes sometimes.Don’t nag: If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.Don’t be inconsistent: That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you.Don’t put me off when I ask questions: If you do you will find that I stop asking and seek information elsewhere.Don’t tell me my fears are silly: They are terribly real and you can do much to reassure me if you try to understand.Don’t ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologise to me: An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm towards you.Don’t forget that I cannot thrive without lots of understanding and love: But I don’t need to tell you that do I?

PUBLIC SPEAKINGThe CSDA Public Speaking Competition has wrapped up for another year. The Grand Final, held at Marist North Shore, saw two of our talented Public Speaking team members deliver engaging, charismatic and thought-provoking speeches. The competition had over 700 students competing from Years 7- Senior, with only 12 from each year group making the Grand Final.

Charlotte Bulmer, from Year 9, has made the Grand Final consecutively for the last three years, which is an outstanding achievement. While not placing, Charlotte captivated her audience with her wit and inviting presence, assuring the audience that they need not be afraid of a future in the hands of Generation-Z. She spoke personally and passionately about the vast contribution that Generation-Z are making and will make in the future.

Sophie Bulmer, from Year 7, placed 4th in her year group. Sophie energetically and whimsically spoke about the power of the daydream through the anecdote of cleaning her room. Her clarity and enthusiasm for her topic intrigued the audience, provoking them to think about the power and necessity of creativity in the future.

It has been another successful competition for the College, with all members of the team doing exceptionally well. I would like to thank everyone that came and supported the students, particularly Ms Eljed, Mr Skoflic and Miss Emmerick for mentoring the students. We look forward to a successful Marist Oratory in Term 3.

Miss Lisa Farrelly - Assistant English CoordinatorYEAR 12 MODERN HISTORYModern History offers our students an exciting opportunity to deepen their understanding and interest in the political structures of our modern world. Our students learn about key events of the twentieth century and how these events have shaped our current global issues.

Our Year 12 Modern History students recently welcome Ken Webb to our school. Ken is one of the eminent lecturers in the Modern History course, having designed the syllabus, written text books and HSC examinations. Our students were able to learn key examination techniques enabling them to more effectively approach each section of the Modern History HSC examination. Ken also shared his detailed knowledge on the rise of Hitler following the end of World War One and how this could be applied to the students learning in class. Our Year 12 Modern History students were wonderful during the presentation, engaging with Ken, asking terrific questions and demonstrating an excellent understanding of the content that they have learnt in class.

YEAR 11 PROJECT COMPASSION INITIATIVECans for CaritasWeek 7 saw Year 11 volunteers give up their recess and lunch times to sell soft drink to the thirsty students of MCCP. These cans were purchased from money raised from Year 11 project compassion boxes and donations from the Year 11 Pastoral staff team. The profits were then used to purchase more product and then sold to generate more capital for Caritas (it was great to see the boys using their Business Studies and Economic studies in action). After the week Year 11 have raised an additional $574 for Caritas and their worthy causes in Australia and around the world which is a tremendous effort! Thank you to everyone who contributed!

DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGYTime for Girls to Shine in DTIn the last week of 2017 MCCP took delivery of the TAS department’s newest toy – a 75 W laser cutter. All Year 7 & 8 students will get the opportunity to use this sensational piece of equipment this year and the years ahead. Whilst Ms De Nigris’ Year 9 Design Technology have also been using the laser, it is the Year 8 girls in Mr McBride’s classes that have really put their hands up. In a new unit developed specifically for the laser, 8DT 1 & 5 have been using the laser to make the face of a clock. Working in pairs, the students convert a pixel based image to a vector based one using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The designs are then sent to the laser and cut in two different colours with pieces swapped from one to the other to create the effects seen to the right.

Naomi Hage and Claire Harvey were the first students to finish their design and as a result of their passion and engagement in the task they have since gone on to learn how to drive the software themselves. There is a rumor going around that Gabriella Da Silva has named her clock “Rolex” - he’s a watchdog!

CBSA CHESSOn Thursday 8 March 2018, twenty skilled and highly enthusiastic students represented MCCP in the CBSA Chess tournament held at Rosebank College, Five Dock. Teams of four played in a round robin style competition in five divisions on the day. Teams played up to seven rounds in the lead up to the semi-finals. The competition, which is organised strictly according to the Australian Chess Association rules, is overseen by a representative from the association on the day.

The Year 7 team consisting of Marco Gava, Brendan O’Connor, Dane Mitchell and Marcus Chung were unfortunate to lose their Semi-Final against Rosebank. Although the students themselves were disappointed with the outcome, they can take pride in their performance and prowess, and in the fact that they are a team to watch out for in the future.

The Year 8 team, consisting of Rohan Reynolds, Maya Reynolds, Connor White and Adam Zhang approached every game with zest and professionalism. The team, who won twenty-one of their twenty-four games in the rounds, beat Casimir 4-0 in the Semi- Final, but were unlucky to lose to Rosebank in their Grand Final.

The Year 10 team were unfortunate to lose their Grand Final to St Mary’s A, after a solid performance in the rounds. Daniel Fuller, Daniel Borg, Adam Krivacic and Costa Kesoglou invested 100% in every game and through their camaraderie presented a united and formidable front throughout the day. Though the Year 9 and Senior teams did not place on the day of the competition, they did their best and approached each game with determination. They are to be congratulated on their conduct and cooperation, despite finding themselves outclassed on the day. Thank you to Marcus Gatt, Malio Greenlees Utalia, Chris Finos and Jessica Towson for representing Year 9 and to Daniel Canducci, Raffi Tchamkertenian, Erik Bickers and Nicholas Moschoudis for making up our Senior side.

Last Friday our school celebrated St Patricks Day. It was a very successful, fun filled day. We were entertained with potato sack races, potato and spoon races, the ultimate planking competition, and of course the abundance of sweets and treats that were generously provided by many of our students. Thank you to all the students who made a big effort in their best green outfits and fancy dress leprechaun costumes.

As a school we raised a total of $2400, this is an extraordinary effort where all proceeds go to a very worthy cause being Caritas.

Thank you to all the staff and SRC who assisted with all the various activities throughout the day. Lastly thank you to Mrs Collins for all her efforts in organsing and preparing for this event.

Mrs Nicole Katrib

This year’s St Patrick’s Day was a major success, with over $800 raised on activities, games and cakes sold over recess and lunch, St Patrick’s Day was proven to be a memorable experience for all.

This year, Year 12 leaders hosted a planking competition for all age groups. With a gold coin donation, students were able to participate in the planking competition. This was a very popular event as students were able to encourage and motivate peers, as well as test themselves physically as students went head to head holding their weight for as long as they could. Our top students were able to hold the planking position for around 8 minutes which is a fantastic effort.

FITNESS AND FUEL Our first Fitness and Fuel session was held last Thursday and it was a great success. Our students definitely earnt their complementary breakfast by participating in various fitness activities, including circuit training and boxercise.

Research has shown that beginning the day with exercise and a healthy breakfast has enormous benefits for young people. Including an increase in motivation, alertness, ability to concentrate, as well as feeling and looking our best. If any other student would like to participate, simply see Mrs Katrib or Mr Fisher to register and fill in a pre-screening questionnaire. Sessions are held every Thursday morning from 7:15am.

Dear Parents, Last year we gave an undertaking to keep you informed about school funding issues. This is the first of an update that will address a range of funding-related matters.

1. Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) Fees – I wish to reassure you of our commitment to maintain low-fee affordability for all families seeking to enrol their children in a systemic Catholic school within the Archdiocese. As announced last year, the Board of Sydney Catholic Schools has determined to keep fee increases to a minimum and at a level that reflects the ‘cost of education index’. It is anticipated that on average across the system, fees will increase annually by around three to four percent for at least the next three years.

2. Positive news – Continued advocacy from SCS and the National Catholic Education

Commission has taken place to ensure funding levels will remain equitable for our schools. We have been pleased to learn about Federal Labor’s pledge to restore funding levels, including an extra $250 million in its first two years in office. Its commitment to fully restore the $17 billion worth of cuts over the next decade is very welcome news. This is in line with addressing the concerns we have held with current federal policy for future funding.

3. Upcoming negotiations - We acknowledge the goodwill of the Government in establshing

the SES Review and will forward the outcomes to you by the middle of this year when they are published. Over the next couple of months SCS looks forward to positively engaging with the Federal Minister for Education regarding;

Reviewing and changing the current flawed SES (socio-economic status) Looking at parent contribution through ‘capacity to pay’ especially for primary schools Review the planned transition time to new funding model from six years for Catholic sector

to 10 years for the Independent sector.

4. Contact with local Federal members – During Term 2, as Executive Director, I hope to make direct contact with all MPs focusing on the funding issue. As a parent of Sydney Catholic Schools, if you have the opportunity to talk to your local member, don’t hesitate to highlight the ongoing concerns regarding equity of funding in all sectors.

Further updates will be provided through communication throughout this year and leading up to the next Federal election.

Kind regards Dr Dan White EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SYDNEY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
