AETERNA NON CADUCA The Eternal not the Transitory MARCELLIN COLLEGE RANDWICK 18 DECEMBER 2017 | NO. 20 From the Headmaster www.marcellin.nsw.edu.au | [email protected] | Ph: (02) 9398 6355 | Fax: (02) 9398 9049 Appointment of New Deputy Head It is with much pleasure that I announce that Mrs Carmelina Eussen has been appointed as the new Deputy commencing Term 1 next year. Mrs Eussen is an experienced educator with a background in Marist educaon. Prior to her current role as Head of Senior School at Santa Sabina College Strathfield, she was the Assistant Principal at Marist College Penshurst. This is a wonderful appointment for the College and I am sure you join with me in welcoming Carmelina to the Marcellin community. Other Staff Movements With Mrs Eussen’s appointment, Mr Paul Daley will move to the role of Director of Wellbeing from the beginning of next year. Mr Daley has done an outstanding job as Deputy Headmaster over the past eighteen months and I thank him for very generously taking on this role. Prior to Mr Daley’s snt, Mr Peter Buxton had been the Deputy Headmaster since 2013. In Term 3 last year he was seconded by Sydney Catholic Schools to Marist College Kogarah as Assistant Principal. Mr Buxton was due to return to Marcellin next year but as many in the community would be aware, he was recently appointed Principal at De La Salle College Caringbah, commencing next year. This is a wonderful acknowledgement of the work Peter has done both here at Marcellin and at Kogarah more recently. Another significant appointment last week was that of Mr Paul MacGee, current Year 11 Coordinator and Student Leadership Coordinator, who was announced as the new Assistant Principal at Champagnat Catholic College Pagewood, commencing next year. Paul’s work here, parcularly in the areas of pastoral care and student leadership, has been first class and his presence will be missed, parcularly by the current Year 11 cohort. Also for next year, Ms Jenny Dove, Diverse Learning Coordinator, has been seconded to Sydney Catholic Schools to assist with the implementaon of the Newman Program across other secondary schools in the Easter Region. Again, this is an acknowledgement of the work Jenny has done here, parcularly with the Newman stream classes and teachers over the past 6 years. I think it is safe to say that Mr Buxton’s secondment to Kogarah and subsequent appointment as Principal, Mr MacGee’s appointment as Assistant Principal, and Ms Dove’s secondment to Sydney Catholic Schools is a great testament to Marcellin College as a ferle breeding ground for leaders in Catholic educaon. These staffing appointments aside, there is lile movement in teaching staff for next year. However, I do want to acknowledge and thank the following staff who will be moving on next year. • Mr Robert Almeida – moving to Marist College Kogarah • Ms Chiara Pascuzzo – Chiara was here for 2017 replacing Ms Anita De Francesco who returns to Marcellin next year • Mr Hugh Sherwood-Meares • Mr Marco Fraiea Also finishing up as Chaplain to the College is Fr Greg Morgan.

bull 41 students with one or more Band 6 scores (95 Band 6s in total)bull At least 14 students scored an ATAR above 95
While numbers at the high end are outstanding there are of course many individual stories of other significant achievements some of which have emerged out of considerable adversity Congratulations to the boys and thanks to their teachers who have not only taught them but nurtured and guided them over the past 6 years
And speaking of thanking people I would like to express my gratitude to all those in our Marcellin community who have made it such a rewarding year The boys my colleagues on the staff parents Marist Brothers Old Boys staff at Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) and Marist Schools Australia (MSA) and those in the broader Randwick community who have worked in unison with the College Thank you for the support you have provided over the last 12 months and I look forward with anticipation and excitement to the start of 2018

ATSI Transition Program
This yearrsquos transition program for the 2018 Yr7 ATSI students was a huge success with the 7 new students spending the day learning about life at Marcellin The boys met with all our ATSI boys and had the opportunity to make connections with them during different activities throughout the day
Highlights of the day were many starting with the selfie challenge around the College with a Year 7 boy sending the boys to all the important places to know This was only surpassed by the two lessons spent cooking up a storm in the kitchen making kangaroo burgers and chocolate damper The boys enjoyed sitting and sharing the delicious meal together and eating all the leftovers A fierce game of basketball in The Marist Centre followed at lunchtime The boys completed the day shadowing their Year 7 boy in a class
All the boys involved enjoyed the day and our new students left feeling more confident about their start here at the College Thank you to all the teachers involved

The Annual Music Camp
In Week 8 of this term the Music Department took a selected number of students from Years 7-10 to Mulgoa for our annual Music Camp What a wonderful way to end a busy and productive year in music in the life of the College
It was a 3-day camp out at the Edmund Rice Retreat Centre On the second day all of the Collegersquos tutors attended for a full day workshop and tutorial session leading the boys in various ensemble work We had a Guitar Ensemble Vocal Stage band Percussion and Piano Ensemble The boys worked hard throughout the full 900am - 400pm workshop day rehearsing and preparing for an end-of-day performance to showcase what they did during the day
The Music Camp brought together a group of boys with one common passion and purpose the love of music Some boys had never even met each other but by the end of the camp there was a real sense of friendship and bonding Having a group of our more experienced and older students who really encouraged and supported the younger boys was wonderful to witness The night time Talent Show proved to be a 3 hour showcase of a huge range of talent- from comedy skits to solo performances and big group showcases which had the boys up and dancing
In order to be eligible to attend the lsquoinvitation-onlyrsquo camp a student must be involved in an ensemble have participated in College life through music or has been identified by their music teachertutor as having great musical potential I encourage any boy who has a reasonable level of expertise on their instrument to become involved in 2018 and be a part of our dynamic Music Department
The camp was a rewarding experience for all including the teachers I could not think of a better way to end the year and I already canrsquot wait for Music Camp 2018

James Tirado (Year 9) competed in the Australian All School Athletics Championships in Adelaide last weekend James is vision impaired and ran in the U16rsquos Para 800m race and finished an incredible 2nd This is a just reward for a young man who has put a tremendous amount of effort into his training and preparation We wish James all the best in his running next year

Lastly there was much celebration last Thursday and Friday as we received our HSC results for the Class of 2017 The outstanding results were a fitting reward for a group of young man who worked cohesively with their teachers right till the end You will read some brief statistics on Page 3 of this newsletter and further detail will be provided early next year however two statistics I would like to highlight which give an indication of the strength of these results are
bull 41 students with one or more Band 6 scores (95 Band 6s in total)bull At least 14 students scored an ATAR above 95
While numbers at the high end are outstanding there are of course many individual stories of other significant achievements some of which have emerged out of considerable adversity Congratulations to the boys and thanks to their teachers who have not only taught them but nurtured and guided them over the past 6 years
And speaking of thanking people I would like to express my gratitude to all those in our Marcellin community who have made it such a rewarding year The boys my colleagues on the staff parents Marist Brothers Old Boys staff at Sydney Catholic Schools (SCS) and Marist Schools Australia (MSA) and those in the broader Randwick community who have worked in unison with the College Thank you for the support you have provided over the last 12 months and I look forward with anticipation and excitement to the start of 2018

ATSI Transition Program
This yearrsquos transition program for the 2018 Yr7 ATSI students was a huge success with the 7 new students spending the day learning about life at Marcellin The boys met with all our ATSI boys and had the opportunity to make connections with them during different activities throughout the day
Highlights of the day were many starting with the selfie challenge around the College with a Year 7 boy sending the boys to all the important places to know This was only surpassed by the two lessons spent cooking up a storm in the kitchen making kangaroo burgers and chocolate damper The boys enjoyed sitting and sharing the delicious meal together and eating all the leftovers A fierce game of basketball in The Marist Centre followed at lunchtime The boys completed the day shadowing their Year 7 boy in a class
All the boys involved enjoyed the day and our new students left feeling more confident about their start here at the College Thank you to all the teachers involved

The Annual Music Camp
In Week 8 of this term the Music Department took a selected number of students from Years 7-10 to Mulgoa for our annual Music Camp What a wonderful way to end a busy and productive year in music in the life of the College
It was a 3-day camp out at the Edmund Rice Retreat Centre On the second day all of the Collegersquos tutors attended for a full day workshop and tutorial session leading the boys in various ensemble work We had a Guitar Ensemble Vocal Stage band Percussion and Piano Ensemble The boys worked hard throughout the full 900am - 400pm workshop day rehearsing and preparing for an end-of-day performance to showcase what they did during the day
The Music Camp brought together a group of boys with one common passion and purpose the love of music Some boys had never even met each other but by the end of the camp there was a real sense of friendship and bonding Having a group of our more experienced and older students who really encouraged and supported the younger boys was wonderful to witness The night time Talent Show proved to be a 3 hour showcase of a huge range of talent- from comedy skits to solo performances and big group showcases which had the boys up and dancing
In order to be eligible to attend the lsquoinvitation-onlyrsquo camp a student must be involved in an ensemble have participated in College life through music or has been identified by their music teachertutor as having great musical potential I encourage any boy who has a reasonable level of expertise on their instrument to become involved in 2018 and be a part of our dynamic Music Department
The camp was a rewarding experience for all including the teachers I could not think of a better way to end the year and I already canrsquot wait for Music Camp 2018

ATSI Transition Program
This yearrsquos transition program for the 2018 Yr7 ATSI students was a huge success with the 7 new students spending the day learning about life at Marcellin The boys met with all our ATSI boys and had the opportunity to make connections with them during different activities throughout the day
Highlights of the day were many starting with the selfie challenge around the College with a Year 7 boy sending the boys to all the important places to know This was only surpassed by the two lessons spent cooking up a storm in the kitchen making kangaroo burgers and chocolate damper The boys enjoyed sitting and sharing the delicious meal together and eating all the leftovers A fierce game of basketball in The Marist Centre followed at lunchtime The boys completed the day shadowing their Year 7 boy in a class
All the boys involved enjoyed the day and our new students left feeling more confident about their start here at the College Thank you to all the teachers involved

The Annual Music Camp
In Week 8 of this term the Music Department took a selected number of students from Years 7-10 to Mulgoa for our annual Music Camp What a wonderful way to end a busy and productive year in music in the life of the College
It was a 3-day camp out at the Edmund Rice Retreat Centre On the second day all of the Collegersquos tutors attended for a full day workshop and tutorial session leading the boys in various ensemble work We had a Guitar Ensemble Vocal Stage band Percussion and Piano Ensemble The boys worked hard throughout the full 900am - 400pm workshop day rehearsing and preparing for an end-of-day performance to showcase what they did during the day
The Music Camp brought together a group of boys with one common passion and purpose the love of music Some boys had never even met each other but by the end of the camp there was a real sense of friendship and bonding Having a group of our more experienced and older students who really encouraged and supported the younger boys was wonderful to witness The night time Talent Show proved to be a 3 hour showcase of a huge range of talent- from comedy skits to solo performances and big group showcases which had the boys up and dancing
In order to be eligible to attend the lsquoinvitation-onlyrsquo camp a student must be involved in an ensemble have participated in College life through music or has been identified by their music teachertutor as having great musical potential I encourage any boy who has a reasonable level of expertise on their instrument to become involved in 2018 and be a part of our dynamic Music Department
The camp was a rewarding experience for all including the teachers I could not think of a better way to end the year and I already canrsquot wait for Music Camp 2018

ATSI Transition Program
This yearrsquos transition program for the 2018 Yr7 ATSI students was a huge success with the 7 new students spending the day learning about life at Marcellin The boys met with all our ATSI boys and had the opportunity to make connections with them during different activities throughout the day
Highlights of the day were many starting with the selfie challenge around the College with a Year 7 boy sending the boys to all the important places to know This was only surpassed by the two lessons spent cooking up a storm in the kitchen making kangaroo burgers and chocolate damper The boys enjoyed sitting and sharing the delicious meal together and eating all the leftovers A fierce game of basketball in The Marist Centre followed at lunchtime The boys completed the day shadowing their Year 7 boy in a class
All the boys involved enjoyed the day and our new students left feeling more confident about their start here at the College Thank you to all the teachers involved

The Annual Music Camp
In Week 8 of this term the Music Department took a selected number of students from Years 7-10 to Mulgoa for our annual Music Camp What a wonderful way to end a busy and productive year in music in the life of the College
It was a 3-day camp out at the Edmund Rice Retreat Centre On the second day all of the Collegersquos tutors attended for a full day workshop and tutorial session leading the boys in various ensemble work We had a Guitar Ensemble Vocal Stage band Percussion and Piano Ensemble The boys worked hard throughout the full 900am - 400pm workshop day rehearsing and preparing for an end-of-day performance to showcase what they did during the day
The Music Camp brought together a group of boys with one common passion and purpose the love of music Some boys had never even met each other but by the end of the camp there was a real sense of friendship and bonding Having a group of our more experienced and older students who really encouraged and supported the younger boys was wonderful to witness The night time Talent Show proved to be a 3 hour showcase of a huge range of talent- from comedy skits to solo performances and big group showcases which had the boys up and dancing
In order to be eligible to attend the lsquoinvitation-onlyrsquo camp a student must be involved in an ensemble have participated in College life through music or has been identified by their music teachertutor as having great musical potential I encourage any boy who has a reasonable level of expertise on their instrument to become involved in 2018 and be a part of our dynamic Music Department
The camp was a rewarding experience for all including the teachers I could not think of a better way to end the year and I already canrsquot wait for Music Camp 2018

ATSI Transition Program
This yearrsquos transition program for the 2018 Yr7 ATSI students was a huge success with the 7 new students spending the day learning about life at Marcellin The boys met with all our ATSI boys and had the opportunity to make connections with them during different activities throughout the day
Highlights of the day were many starting with the selfie challenge around the College with a Year 7 boy sending the boys to all the important places to know This was only surpassed by the two lessons spent cooking up a storm in the kitchen making kangaroo burgers and chocolate damper The boys enjoyed sitting and sharing the delicious meal together and eating all the leftovers A fierce game of basketball in The Marist Centre followed at lunchtime The boys completed the day shadowing their Year 7 boy in a class
All the boys involved enjoyed the day and our new students left feeling more confident about their start here at the College Thank you to all the teachers involved

The Annual Music Camp
In Week 8 of this term the Music Department took a selected number of students from Years 7-10 to Mulgoa for our annual Music Camp What a wonderful way to end a busy and productive year in music in the life of the College
It was a 3-day camp out at the Edmund Rice Retreat Centre On the second day all of the Collegersquos tutors attended for a full day workshop and tutorial session leading the boys in various ensemble work We had a Guitar Ensemble Vocal Stage band Percussion and Piano Ensemble The boys worked hard throughout the full 900am - 400pm workshop day rehearsing and preparing for an end-of-day performance to showcase what they did during the day
The Music Camp brought together a group of boys with one common passion and purpose the love of music Some boys had never even met each other but by the end of the camp there was a real sense of friendship and bonding Having a group of our more experienced and older students who really encouraged and supported the younger boys was wonderful to witness The night time Talent Show proved to be a 3 hour showcase of a huge range of talent- from comedy skits to solo performances and big group showcases which had the boys up and dancing
In order to be eligible to attend the lsquoinvitation-onlyrsquo camp a student must be involved in an ensemble have participated in College life through music or has been identified by their music teachertutor as having great musical potential I encourage any boy who has a reasonable level of expertise on their instrument to become involved in 2018 and be a part of our dynamic Music Department
The camp was a rewarding experience for all including the teachers I could not think of a better way to end the year and I already canrsquot wait for Music Camp 2018

In order to be eligible to attend the lsquoinvitation-onlyrsquo camp a student must be involved in an ensemble have participated in College life through music or has been identified by their music teachertutor as having great musical potential I encourage any boy who has a reasonable level of expertise on their instrument to become involved in 2018 and be a part of our dynamic Music Department
The camp was a rewarding experience for all including the teachers I could not think of a better way to end the year and I already canrsquot wait for Music Camp 2018

ATSI Transition Program
This yearrsquos transition program for the 2018 Yr7 ATSI students was a huge success with the 7 new students spending the day learning about life at Marcellin The boys met with all our ATSI boys and had the opportunity to make connections with them during different activities throughout the day
Highlights of the day were many starting with the selfie challenge around the College with a Year 7 boy sending the boys to all the important places to know This was only surpassed by the two lessons spent cooking up a storm in the kitchen making kangaroo burgers and chocolate damper The boys enjoyed sitting and sharing the delicious meal together and eating all the leftovers A fierce game of basketball in The Marist Centre followed at lunchtime The boys completed the day shadowing their Year 7 boy in a class
All the boys involved enjoyed the day and our new students left feeling more confident about their start here at the College Thank you to all the teachers involved
