GAZETTE

Luke Livian

Congratulations to our debaters last Friday evening with a memorable clean sweep of their debates. It is great to see our students put themselves into what can be a daunting position of having to speak on a topic in front of their peers, an opposition and parents. Not only can this be a unnerving experience but to also be judge while doing it! Mr Sinclair- Kydd and his team of coaches do a fantastic job and the students are reaping the benefits. This type of activity encourages confidence in our students.

Parents can become more engaged with their child’s schooling through engagement at Learning Progress meetings and discussions at home. Many teenagers behave in a carefree manner, but often there can be a fragile self-esteem beneath that adolescent bravado. The good news is, nurturing self-esteem can help your child develop the confidence and resilience they need to succeed at school.

Succeeding at an activity like sport, music or art can be great for a child’s self-esteem and confidence. If they succeed at their chosen activity, there’s a good chance they’ll replicate that success at school and make friends too.

When your child is congratulated on successes and achievements, no matter how small, it can give their confidence a boost. Reassure your child that setbacks happen. Encourage them to see that, in every error, there is an opportunity to learn and to look positively towards learning their next achievement.

By acting with confidence and self-assurance, you are modelling behaviours that your child may pick up. Improved confidence will help with things like public speaking and other interactions.

Friends are important esteem-builders. The more your child brings their school friends home, the more you can get to know them too.If your teen feels comfortable raising any topic with you no matter how embarrassing, upsetting or controversial it may be they’ll be more confident expressing themselves at school.

You don’t need to know everything your child is learning in high school to support them with homework. Just being there, showing interest and listening to them can help make your child feel supported even if you can’t help with the subject matter itself.

A good way to help your child with their homework is to ask them if you can look through their class workbook, laptop and Rosebank Exchange together. Get them to explain some examples that they have completed in class. Explaining the processes to you will deepen their understanding. If your child has difficulty describing what they covered in class that day, encourage them to talk to their teacher.

A calendar, planner or a diary with the dates of assignments, tests and exams is also helpful. By planning ahead and starting early, they can break their study up into smaller more manageable tasks and feel more in control of their workload.

ThinkUKnow fact sheet 2: Staying safe

Why is it important to stay safe online? It can help you avoid being a victim of online crime. Learning about some of the unsafe things that can happen, and what we can do about them, will help us to look out for ourselves, family and friends.

What can happen if I am not safe online?

Cyberbullying

Some people use the internet to bully others. Cyberbullying hurts people. In some cases it can lead to criminal charges. How to report Block and report the bully. Keep proof of the bullying and report this material to the social media service. Within 48 hours, if the content is not removed, report it to the Office of the eSafety Commissioner at www.esafety.gov.au Unwanted contact

Not everyone online is who they say they are. It is important that you know who your children are talking to online. Sometimes adults may pretend to be someone they are not to try and create a relationship with a child online. This is called “grooming”.

How to report

You might need to get the police involved. If you believe a child is in immediate danger call 000. Reports can also be made via the Report Abuse button at www.thinkuknow.org.au

Sharing personal sexual content

Sometimes young people create naked or semi-naked photos or videos, and share them with others. This can have serious consequences for those involved and can even lead to criminal charges. How to reportIf you become aware that this behaviour is happening report it to your child’s school and/or local police. Inappropriate or unsafe content

Some content on the internet may be illegal, upsetting or unsuitable for some age groups. Inappropriate or unsafe content might include:

• pornography • violence • extremist behaviour • sites that encourage criminal and anti-social behaviour • offensive content such as text, photos or videos on social

media • chatrooms or blogs that encourage racism or hate.

How to report

Offensive and illegal content complaints should be made to the Office of the eSafety Commissioner at www.esafety.gov.au for investigation. Online radicalisation and extremist material can be reported to www.reportextremism.livingsafetogether.gov.au

ThinkUKnow’s top tips for staying safe online

• Only talk to people on the internet you know and trust, and never meet someone in person you have only 'met' online.

• Think before you post something on the internet about another person.

• Have respectful relationships.

• Learn how to block and report on the sites you and your children use.

• Have a list of health and wellbeing services for your children to access for further support. A reminder that at Wednesday’s P&F meeting a special, free presentation will be offered to parents from the ThinkUKnow organisation.

From the Dean Of MissionCommunity – deep openness to Christ

There is a logic in the Manquehue approach to encounter with Christ in his Word, his Church and his People. I can pray Lectio on my own, and for many of us that is the usual pattern. I can even engage in Tutoría as a “one on one” process of spiritual development, and again, that is not uncommon and is sometimes referred to as “spiritual direction”, a practice more associated with adult Christians than with younger people. But … I cannot be in community on my own – that makes no sense.

Lectio brings me into communion with Jesus through his Word and opens me to a more adult and mature relationship with him as the source of meaning and giver of life and authentic freedom: If you make my Word your home you will indeed be my disciples; you will come to know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8.31-32) Surely relationship with Jesus through Lectio would be enough? Jesus did not think so; nor did St Benedict, St Teresa, or any of the other great spiritual teachers throughout our history. I am too often prone to deluding myself, “kidding myself”, convincing myself that things are good enough and don’t need much work done. If that were the case there would be no need for the Church, or any form of family – we could go along our merry way quite convinced that the voice in my head was that of Jesus, and not, in fact, me talking to myself and making a lot of noise; a never ending loop of me talking to me about me.

Jesus made it clear that he would be present among his disciples whenever two or three were gathered in his name (Matthew 18.20). His presence is not some placebo to make me feel good about myself, but rather the medicine the great healer uses to restore, nourish and empower for service, for as he said quite simply it is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick (Matthew 9.12). So then Tutoría might be enough?There is truth that a one on one mentoring relationship can help me grow in my Christian life and calling, but it is still less than what the Lord had in mind. In one of the most powerful images in the Scriptures, John has Jesus describe his relationship with us as akin to a vine and its branches. It is worth quoting a portion:

‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit,

because apart from me you can do nothing … If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete (John 15)

Community is “abiding in the vine”. Each of us lives with the other amidst all the realities of the human condition. What makes the Christian community different is the presence of Jesus the Vine who gives life to all the branches. The difference is that we, the branches, are able to take the life Jesus offers, or not. If we chose not to live in the vine, the outcome is stark: Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned (John 15.6).

Community, life in the vine, is not perfect and it would be silly to think it would be perfect. Pope Francis is fond of saying that the community of the Church is like a field hospital, or a place of smelly sheep. In this community where everyone has a home and where Christ with open arms welcomes all humanity and all creation, the first and most important commandment is what closes John 15: ‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another. I cannot do this on my own. Benedict knew this. Teresa knew this. Jesus knows it.

Spending time with the brothers and sisters of the Manquehue Apostolic Community taught me a lot about community. Witnessing the great love the community members have for each other, for the students in their schools, the warmth and loving welcome given to guests like me made those words of John come alive in a new and heart-centred way. I came as a visitor, a guest, but left as a brother, a friend. Community does that.

Community is the way Jesus stops me getting trapped in the voices in my head and ending up believing that I am the agent of my own salvation. Community is the way Jesus is present in every other member of the

7

community about me as sister or brother, speaking loving truth in word and action. Community is the way Jesus lives through his disciples as they go out to proclaim the Good News and invite others to “come and see” (John 1.39). Community is the way where I deepen my relationship with Christ who comes to me in Lectio and Tutoría into communio – deep relationship – with sisters and brothers who walk with me, beside me, sometimes ahead, sometimes behind, all the time supporting me in a joyful peace that surpasses anything else in the world. Community is quite simply about being one with Christ fully embodied and grounded in his sinful and redeemed people, his much loved and beloved people for whom he willingly gave and continues to give his life, his body – the Church.

My encounter of living and praying with the community in Santiago brought back for me a renewed and deeper love of the Church in all her spotted splendour as the smelly mob of sheep for whom Jesus came as both shepherd and saviour.

Senior Study TipsThis week has been a big one for the SRSC, with Library and Information Week held nationally from 21 – 27 May. This year’s theme is “Find Yourself in A Library.” In the spirit of the theme, we held a scavenger hunt all week with multiple book prizes available. Thank you to all the students who participated!

Our display for this week “Banned and Contested Books” focused on novels which have been forbidden by libraries or strongly campaigned against by patrons over the last one hundred years. Students took great delight at reading the range of thought-provoking, humorous, and sometimes bizarre reasons that have taken books we know to be classics from the shelves.

Miss Hannah Lawrence – SRSC Library Technician

The SRSC has created an ‘Ask the SRSC’ form in Exchange. Students can use it if they have a question or enquiry about the services or resources that we offer.

Students can find the link by navigating to:

Navigate to the Student Portal

Click on ‘Exchange’

Navigate to the Dashboard or click on ‘Courses’

Click on the SRSC tile

Click on the yellow icon

As always we welcome students to visit the SRSC and discuss any questions or issues about resources and services that they may have, before school from 7.45am, lunch, recess and after school until 5pm every week day during term time.

Duke of Edinburgh NewsRosebank College has now become one of the largest participating schools in Duke of Edinburgh with one hundred students participating in the Bronze, Silver and Gold awards.

Through this challenging journey of self-discovery, Rosebank students:

• Are equipped and empowered to achieve their personal best;

• Learn to take responsibility for their goals and choices;

• Become connected to and actively engaged with-in their immediate community;

• Make a real difference to society through their positive contributions and involvement;

• Learn to persevere and overcome barriers to success;

• Learn important life skills; and

• Increase their career opportunities.

Recently Lliam Ferrier of Year 12 completed his volunteer service component of the Gold Award through creating a partnership with his local cricket club. Here Lliam participated in running junior coaching clinics aimed at developing local juniors. It was through this partnership that Lliam was identified by NSW Cricket who invited him to take part in their recent National Volunteer Week ad campaign. This campaign can be viewed through the link below. Lliam is a great example of Rosebank students “getting on the bus” and seeking

out new adventures and personal challenges.

The growth of the Duke of Edinburgh program could not have been achieved without the enthusiasm, drive and passion for our students of Ms Natasha Mohamad our Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator. We would also like to thank Mr Benjamin Lomnicki, Ms Anriana Mellick, Ms Jessica Quarmby and Mr Nicholas De Bressac for their ongoing support of the program.

We would encourage all students to continue to seek out one of the many wonderful opportunities like the Duke of Edinburgh program offered through the Co-curricular program. “Get on the bus”.NSW Cricket volunteer campaign:https://youtu.be/HkeokpP-Y7E
