AQUINAS CATHOLIC COLLEGE MENAI

12th August, 2013 Vol.20.No.20

Monday, Week 5 @ Menai began at a fast pace, Year 12 HSC IT Timber major works due at 9am, Year 11 Hospitality were in action in the commercial kitchen, HSC written Trials in Extension History, IT Timber, & IPT were concluding the exam block in Room 9, and HSC Music Performance pieces were being played and sung in the John Paul II Hall. Not a bad list of learning experiences before the day’s end and the rest of the week is as active; starting with our Annual Envirowalk tomorrow!!! I would encourage all of our students to make a last ditch effort in securing donations for our only major fundraiser of the year. As was foreshadowed last year our building program is slated to start in Term IV of this year and all monies raised will be very visible in the construction that it is to follow over the next two years. Catholic schools have an amazing tradition of building schools for current and future generations, we have inherited the hard efforts over the last twenty-one years and will lay the foundations for the next twenty one. On Wednesday evening we also will be holding our Year 10 into Year 11 Information Night that will focus on senior subject selection and academic pathways available to our students. I look forward to seeing all Year 10 students [in full winter school uniform] along with their parents in what is a very important part of their educational journey. Parking is available in the two College car parks and those attending are asked to be seated at 7:30pm for a prompt start. Each year every Catholic secondary College in the Archdiocese is able to nominate one Year 12 student for the prestigious Archbishop of Sydney Award for Student Excellence. This year I am pleased to announce on behalf of the entire College community that Jessica Marsden is the Aquinas Catholic College recipient of the award. Jessica, along with her family and a number of friends will visit St Mary’s Cathedral later this month where she will receive her award. The citation that she will receive reads as follows;

Jessica is an unassuming and empathetic young woman who has a innate sense of family and service. She has been pivotal in a wide range of charitable appeals that have also built up our community. She contributes enormously to the life of the College in her role as College Vice Captain. Jessica’s faith has enriched the Religious life of the school and parish through her Eucharistic Ministry and presence amongst her peers. Her unswerving approach to her studies has ensured personal academic success and has encouraged many of her classmates.

Term III is also a time for the conclusion of a number of representative sporting competitions and I am pleased to report that at the time of writing 3 premierships have been won by Aquinas students. The following sides took out their grand final deciders;

Yr 8 Girls Basketball [Mrs Reyes] Yr 8 Boys soccer [Ms Kilzi] Yr 9 Boys soccer [Mr Gibson]

Well done to each of these teams and congratulations to their coaches on what is a fine achievement. A number of other students have also been representing the College with distinction and have also had significant success in a number of prestigious competitions;

Well done to the Year 8 Team of Daniel Ferraro; Blake Diamond; Lachlan Bower and Jeremy Iskander who placed a highly credible second in the Aurecon Bridge Building competition and won $1 000 for their trouble

Congratulations to the Year 11 Engineering challenge team of Sean Finlay; Rhys Prestige, Andrew Donlan; and Jarryd Preston who won the Engineering challenge they entered. A fantastic effort!!

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the great work of Mr Nastasi and Mr Hulme whilst the Aquinas WYD contingent has been away. Their generosity along with a number of other staff allowed Mr Strudwick and I an amazing faith journey and opportunity with our five student pilgrims. There is much to absorb from such an incredible experience and I hope that the following photos give some sense of what we were able to immerse ourselves in over an intense three week trip. More to follow! James Corcoran Principal

DEBATING NEWS


Religious Education at Aquinas Last Thursday, August 8th, our College community celebrated the feast of St Mary of the Cross. The day began with a prayer service led by our Year 11 student leaders to mark this significant celebration in the liturgical year. Our service also began our celebration of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, which was celebrated around the world on August 9th. Representatives from our College community joined hundreds of others in St Mary’s Cathedral on Friday for a special mass with Cardinal Pell to mark this significant occasion. This Thursday is another important celebration in the life of the Church. August 15th is the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day of obligation. This celebrates the belief that the body and soul of Mary was taken into heaven after the end of her earthly life. Mary is seen as the first disciple of Jesus and a model for all of us. The Holy Family Parish Menai community will join together for the celebration of the Eucharist at 9am and 7.30pm this Thursday to mark this significant feast. All are welcome. Mrs Catherine Nolan Religious Education Coordinator

Hebrews 11:1

Reflection on the Gospel

Sunday’s Gospel (Lk 12:32-48) carries with it the expectation of the late 1st century as the first Christians awaited the triumphant return of Christ. As time went on, the communities were beginning to face the realisation that the promised return was taking longer than they had expected. Not knowing when Jesus would return, an attitude emerged of the need to live in anticipation of it. Rather than waiting for the kingdom of God to be delivered, we must live our lives in such a way as to bring about the kingdom. If we all live the values of the kingdom, by our very actions we bring the kingdom into being.

Adapted from a reflection by Greg Sunter


WYD RIO 2013 – After Peru The last article that I wrote for a WYD Rio update we were about to leave Cuzco, Lima for our adventures in Rio. However, due to a lack of Internet access, I was unable to complete another update on our Pilgrimage, so here it is with a few photos included. After a very long day seeing the amazing sites of Machu Picchu, we woke up to head off to Cuzco airport to fly to Rio. We arrived in Rio and we were welcomed to a busy airport with a large number of pilgrims also arriving for the start of WYD week. We then headed to our accommodation for the week, Pier Maua, which for the WYD week was nicknamed “Aussie Central”. At our accommodation we had the basics, just a mattress and a space of about 2m x 1m to ourselves, where we shared this space with about 1500 other Aussie pilgrims, but it was home, and most nights we were tired enough that it didn’t matter where we slept. Our week started as more of a tourist with a tour of Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. The view from Sugarloaf Mountain was amazing; we were able to look over the city of Rio on an amazingly clear day. After we descended Sugarloaf Mountain we headed to Corcovado Mountain (the site of Cristo Redentor or Christ the Redeemer), here we waited for about 2 hours for our train to the top of the mountain. However, this did not get our spirits down as we met and had fun with pilgrims from Brasil and Boston, USA. We also had an impromptu Bus 8 Mass, in a church at the bottom of the mountain, where we were lucky enough that the parish priest could talk in English and Fr Peter (our bus Chaplain) was able to read from an English translation of the Mass, this was an amazing and very spiritual experience. Once we finally reached the top of the mountain to be able to get a glimpse of this incredible wonder of the world, the clear day that we had earlier had changed to an overcast and foggy night sky, and our visibility of Christ was severely diminished, but once again this did not get our spirits down and we were able to see a positive side to our experience. The official WYD week started with the opening Mass on Copacabana Beach where we enjoyed music and entertainment before sharing as mass with hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world, including the Archbishop of Rio Orani João Tempesta. Day Two saw us head to catechesis in the morning and then onto the Australian Gathering, where we had an awesome experience of the Australian church, and we celebrated the youth of the Australian church. On Day Three we experienced catechesis once again, this time with Cardinal Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, who was truly inspirational. After this we headed into Copacabana once again for the official arrival of Pope Francis or Papa Francisco, it was amazing to see the Pope up close, and it was even more amazing to see the outpouring of joy that all the pilgrims showed towards him. Day Four once again saw another catechesis session, and then we went off once again to Copacabana for the depiction of the Stations of the Cross, which like Sydney’s ‘Way of the Cross’ was amazing. Day Five we woke up early to ready ourselves for the 9km pilgrimage walk from “Aussie Central” to Copacabana, which was the new location for the vigil and final mass, due to rain, which ruined the original site for the final mass. The walk was a great journey for us as we always came across an outpouring of love from other pilgrims because we came from Australia, and because of the joy we always gave back. Once we finally arrived at Copacabana, and settled down, it took quite an effort to hold and secure our area as the number of pilgrims arriving to experience the vigil and the final mass began to grow very quickly. Once everything settled down, we were able to experience adoration of the Eucharist and some music and dancing. On Day Six we woke up on the beach with 3 million other pilgrims ready to enjoy the celebration of the Eucharist with Papa Francisco, before mass though we were able to wake up with dancing and singing, as we saw 3.5 million people all doing the same dance as one united church together. The final mass was a great experience as we were able to celebrate with the universal church, even though we all spoke different languages, we were able to understand the mass and follow the structure of the mass, always responding in our own languages, it truly was an example of the universal church, and a fantastic way to bring to close what was an incredible week full of joy and happiness. We left the highs of WYD week in Rio and headed to our 3rd Wonder of the World in Iguazu Falls, which is on the border of Brazil and Argentina. Our tour of the falls was absolutely breath taking; we were able to see the falls from the Brazilian side of the border and the Argentinian side of the border. Both sides were as awesome as the each other and, as many stated, it was a great display of God’s beauty and power. After our visit to the falls, we were able to finally sit down and reflect on everything we had just experienced over the past 2 weeks, through a specially designed retreat program, where we discussed and reflected on everything we had done.


After our retreat program we had a short 2-night stop over in Buenos Aires, where we took in the sites, did some shopping and wound down. We also had an amazing final bus mass in the crypt of the cathedral in Buenos Aires, the same cathedral that Pope Francis was in charge of, which was a very special experience. At this final mass we also said goodbye to our two guitars, which we used in many ways on our pilgrimage including many masses, entertaining the young children of the shantytown in Lima and entertaining ourselves. These guitars were signed by each bus member and were donated to the cathedral with the strict instruction that they be given to a struggling or poorer parish or community so they could then enjoy them. Well what a trip, it truly was an amazing experience, journey and most of all pilgrimage, we saw some incredible sites and did some great things, and we will never forget them. Our journey could not have been done without the amazing support from everyone we left at home while we were away. To the teachers who looked after Mr Strudwick’s and Mr Corcoran’s class and duties, we thank you so much for the work you did. To the College and parish communities, we thankyou for you support and prayers in the lead up to and during our pilgrimage. To our families who helped pay for, plan and worry about us for the 3 weeks we were away, thankyou for you support and love. Finally I would like to thank the parents of our five pilgrims who made my job so much easier by the way they supported and worked with me in the lead up to and during the pilgrimage. Mr Strudwick Youth Ministry Coordinator


CURRICULUM MATTERS

STUDY SKILLS TIP FOR AUGUST – Internet Research Do you waste hours on the Internet when you are researching for an assignment? Here are our top 10 tips to be more effective and efficient in your research. 1. REQUIREMENTS: Before you start, review all the info about the assignment carefully. What have you been asked to do? What are the main points or requirements? What guidelines or directions have you been given? Do you understand the task? Is there anything you need to ask your teacher about? Spend around 10 minutes on this. Highlight key words, try and paraphrase in your own words.

2. BRAINSTORM: You need to decide what you are going to research. Spend around 20 minutes on your initial brainstorm. Write a list of the different areas you will need to include in your assignment. For each section brainstorm topics or phrases that might help you narrow your research. Pay particular attention to any marking criteria you have been given. If you know absolutely nothing about the topic, you may like to spend 5-10 minutes in Wikipedia to give yourself a bit of background and overview. While many schools do not want you to use Wikipedia as a reference in your assignment (as it is not always a reliable or expert source to quote from) it is a good way to get an overview about the main points and to generate some thoughts on what you may need to research.

3. PLAN: You need to work out how much info you will need for each section of your assignment. There is no point collecting pages of information on a point if you only need to write a paragraph. Look at the word or page limit for the assignment. This may vary depending on the format of the task. For each section, work out roughly how much information you will need for that section and write this down on your brainstorm list. This should only take 10 minutes. You may also want to write your list of what you need to research, the key words or phrases and amount of info needed out again neatly so you can have it by you when you start your research on the computer.

4. FEEDBACK: Show someone your initial plan before you start researching. A parent, a sibling, your teacher – just get someone to have a quick look to make sure you haven’t missed anything obvious or misinterpreted the assignment. They may also suggest other lines of enquiry for you to explore.

5. BROADEN SEARCH: Don’t forget that there are other places to research apart from the internet! Libraries, books, magazines and newspapers. Your librarian might also know about certain databases you could access. You may know people who are experts on the topic. Don’t always go straight to Google.

6. INTERNET SEARCHES: Many students waste a lot of time as they do not know what they are looking for! Well you have a plan, so you will start with the first item on your brainstormed list. Remember to put “exact phrases” in quotation marks. Try other search engines apart from Google as they may show different results.

7. BE SELECTIVE: When the search results appear on your screen, do not just click on the first link. Take a few moments to look at where the links are from (eg. National Geographic? A blog?). Think about which ones seem more likely to a) answer your assignment question and b) be from a reputable source (such as an expert or authority). Read the few lines of information underneath each link. Many students waste a lot of time as they just click at random. Make an assessment before clicking. You may also look at more than just the first page of results. Also assess your search terms. Did the search engine find the sorts of things you were looking for or should you modify your search terms before clicking on a link?

8. ASSESSING INFORMATION: When you find information that looks useful, you need to decide if the source is reputable. Who is the author and what are their credentials? What sort of organisation has created the site? Can you tell anything from the URL of the site? When was the site last updated? Who is the target audience of the site? Where has the information come from? These are just some of the questions you need to ask yourself when you are critically evaluating a website.

9. RECORDING INFORMATION: If you find information that is useful, you need to record this information. You have two main options. You could print out the information so you can highlight it. Or you can cut and paste the relevant information into a word document or a program or app like Onenote or Evernote. If you take the second option, make sure you collate the information under your list of headings that you created when brainstorming.

10. RECORDING REFERENCES: If you print the information, make sure the following is on the page and if not then write onto the page: the title of the source, the author, the publisher, and place and date of publication. This is your preliminary, or draft, bibliography. If you are cutting and pasting into a program, make sure you also have this info and it is linked to the correct content! You will need this for your bibliography and to ensure that you do not plagiarise when you start writing your assignment.

You can learn more in the Research Skills unit on www.studyskillshandbook.com.au. Next month’s tip will cover how to start writing your assignment.

Aquinas students have been very busy this month immersing themselves in lots of wonderful activities. Last Friday seven Year 9 students: Joshua Swan, Tabitha Singer, Cassandra Bruce, Jenna Lennon, Laura Muller, Amy Cannon and Georgina Skinner attended The Write Stuff, a gifted writer’s day hosted by Southern Region Catholic Education Office. The students had the opportunity to work with other talented writers from the region and not only have time to write but also share their ideas with each other. The students found the day a very worthwhile experience as it is not often that you get a whole day to work on your writing skills. I would like to thank Mrs Danielle Lennon for assisting me with the transportation of the students on the day also. On Tuesday, 6th August five Year 8 boys: Lachlan Bowmer, Daniel Ferraro, Bradley Hunt, Blake Diamond and Jeremy Iskandar attended the 2013 Aurecon Bridge Building competition at the Art Gallery of NSW. Now the boys were under immense pressure as their predecessors had been successful in winning the competition in 2011 and coming second in 2012! Their design brief was to construct a bridge with a 650mm span, no wider than 140mm using only: 8 balsa sticks 6.5mmx6.5mmx580mm long 8 balsa sticks 6.5mmx6.5mmx330mm long 1 cardboard tube 1 tube of epoxy glue 1 piece of 5m string The task entailed many hours in the Learning Centre researching, viewing videos of past bridge builds, designing, cutting, gluing and testing. On the day our bridge withstood an incredible load of 81kg, placing us second in New South Wales. Aquinas received a cheque for $1000 for their efforts and the boys a $100 gift card each. I’d like to congratulate the boys on not only a wonderful achievement but also for the way in which they represented the College. Secondly, thank you to Mr De’Athe for his technical help and advice and Jennifer Benson for helping to cut some of the materials for the boys, it was very much appreciated. Congratulations boys for a fine achievement! On Wednesday 7th August four Year 11 boys: Sean Findlay, Rhys Prestidge, Jarryd Preston and Andrew Donlan attended The Great Engineering Challenge at the University of NSW, Kensington. The students completed three engineering challenges including building a bridge out of spaghetti, building a car powered by an elastic band and designing and building a wind turbine. They had the opportunity to listen to guest speakers from Engineers Australia and Trans Grid and also spoke with engineering students from UNSW about their courses. The boys competed against more than forty schools from across NSW and I am happy to announce that they were the overall winners on the day. Congratulations boys on a great effort! Mrs Cathy Capovilla Gifted Education Teacher

Pastoral Care Report

In the next few weeks students will be sitting exams. I recently came across and article by Michael Grose. Parents can promote persistence by encouraging their children to keep going and not give in at the slightest hurdle or difficulty. Parents can be a sounding board for children’s gripes but they should show confidence in their ability to cope and get through their difficulties. “You can do it” is far more powerful in terms of promoting an attitude of persistence than “If it is a little too hard then try something else.” Let children know that there is a correlation between effort and success. In fact, they need to learn that by GIVING EFFORT they will more than likely experience more success. The ability to persist in the face of difficulties maybe an old-fashioned quality but it is one of the best success attributes that children will ever develop. Below are three practical strategies you can use to promote a sense of persistence in your children: 1. Develop a vocabulary for persistence. Words like “Hang tough”, “Work Hard” and “Hang in there” can become part of

their every day vocabulary. 2. Point out to children when they stick at a task. Most parents know it pays off when they catch their children being good

but it also pays off to catch them being persistent. The behaviours you focus on as parents expand so let them know when they have been persistent. Also remind them that persistence generally pays off.

3. Talk about HARD WORK with your children. They need to understand that to be successful they need to do things that

are NOT fun or easy. While it would be good if all work and learning was fun, in reality, this is not always the case. (Published by Michael Grose ) BUS TRAVEL Students are reminded that the conditions of travel are clearly displayed on the back of the travel pass. This week the bus company has asked us to remind students that every student MUST show their valid travel pass for travel. If a travel pass is not produced to the driver, the appropriate fare must be paid. Anthony Hulme Pastoral Care Coordinator
