The below is the homily given by Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Randwick’s parish priest, Fr Peter Hearn at the College’s 2018 Commencement Mass, held on Friday, 23 February.

“People trapped in the Twin Towers following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, and students at universities and high schools under attack from lone shooters in their last text messages to families and friends – and it seems without exception – spoke of their love for them. Especially their mothers; that they would meet again in the next life…not to worry. And for parents about to die, the promise of an ongoing care for their families, a watchfulness from heaven: The human heart’s truth distilled, purified, clarified – that love endures, love is the foundation; Love is life…

Marcellin’s theme for the year is “Go and bear much fruit, fruit that will last.”

These words were spoken by Jesus to his inner circle of disciples at the Last Supper – the night before he dies. They are embedded in his own expression of love for them, calling on them to love one another with the promise of his ongoing love and care beyond his death. He knows he will die on the next day. So his feelings are deep.

The quote comes in the context of Jesus as the vine and the disciples as the branches. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit hanging in mid-air as it needs connectivity to its source of life, the vine, so too if unconnected to him will they lose his vision and purpose for them.

From Fr Peter Hearn, MSC

Marcellin Champagnat saw so much that was unconnected as a young man: born in 1789 the very year of the French Revolution, he saw his aunt, a nun, like tens of thousands of other religious people, expelled from her convent and come to seek refuge with his family. Later, as a young priest, he saw the very unequal results of the Revolution and Napoleonic period in France where the rural poor, especially, were simply uncared for. Church institutions had been largely trashed and many had no access to a spirituality, education and health care. Life was brutal. He desired to re-connect people with the unending source of meaning, kindness and hope in the person of Jesus. He wrote,

“To make Jesus known and loved is the aim of our vocation and the whole purpose of the Marist Brothers. If we were to fail in this purpose, our congregation would be useless.”

On a lighter note, a quote that amuses me, still valid I imagine, is where Marcellin reminded the teachers to be kind to their students, as they would have to spend eternity with them! Students, you might like to remind your teachers of this also, occasionally…

Marcellin is a community, I know, where great efforts are made to help students belong: that you are not anonymous, unknown or overlooked. This is especially important

for students entering the school at other than Year 7 levels. Clearly, when we feel valued, self-esteem grows. Encouragement and recognition build self-esteem, and we have a right to a good sense of our selves, our worth – but we also have a duty to be worthy of that esteem by the way we live and relate, the effort we put in – at home and school, whatever we are involved in. I have seen, often, the value of a Marcellin education in the way ex-students support one another, especially in times of trial and sorrow.

This fits superbly with Marcellin Champagnat’s vision and spirituality of a person-centred education – not mere schooling – in an environment which is Christ-centred, with Mary as a guiding light and inspiration. statue at the front, a cross on the roof and a saint’s name

on the door: rather, a community where discipleship is to be nourished, our tendency to self-centred living, to greed, is challenged, and we become Christ’s hands and heart and voice, especially for the poor and the powerless.

Equipped to be Good Christians and Good Citizens, A Marcellin Graduate will show, and I quote, “a love, respect and appreciation for all God’s people regardless of gender, race, creed, sexual preference or social status.” If you truly ingest and live these values, you simply must bear good fruit, fruit that will last.

May Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our Good Mother, be a source of encouragement on your journey; may you find in her a ready helper and protector in your worries and difficulties.

Fr Peter Hearn MSC

That is the richness of the tradition you are being educated in here. Your web page speaks of your education in terms of a search for personal meaning and values that are not passing but lasting, that stands the test of time. “Aeterna Non Caduca” – eternal not passing.

Clearly, we need each other, we need community to be fruitful – civil, social, and especially the Church. Why especially the Church? Because of Christ’s promise to be with the Church till the end of time, aeterna non caduca – through no virtue of ours - but because of his fidelity even in the midst of our sometimes huge infidelities.

Without the Church community to turn to, a young Marcellin Champagnat could not have launched his community in France, let alone the rest of the world, and so often to the poorest of people.

Jesus commissions us to continue his mission, to be his presence in every age – a presence which is more than a

From the Deputy Principal

College Open DayThe College will hold its annual Open Day next Wednesday, 14 March 2018, from 3.00pm to 6.00pm. Accordingly, there will be changes to the daily routine at the College on this afternoon.

Some students will be required to remain at the College to assist with the Open Day activities in different curriculum areas. The involvement of students in a day such as this is crucial as it allows the boys a wonderful opportunity to showcase the College and their work.

Dismissal for students not involved in Open Day will be at 12:05pm. School Special bus 400 will be available at this time for these students. It is expected that any student not directly involved in Open Day is to go directly home. A reminder that no student is to go to Eastgardens or the Royal Randwick Shopping Centre. Teachers will be on supervision.

On Wednesday, students are expected at school in their full summer uniform. They will require books and equipment for Periods 1-3, Day 3.

Parent Public Lecture SeriesUNSW offers a free public lecture series for parents as part of the UNSW Matraville Education Partnership. All events are free and open to the public, no matter where your children attend school. All lectures will be of interest to parents of both primary and secondary students, unless otherwise noted. Lectures will be on weekday evenings at the UNSW building at Matraville Sports High School. The first three events are open for registration; others will follow soon.

https://education.arts.unsw.edu.au/about-us/community-engagement/matraville-education-partnership/parent/

Last Friday night I had the privilege of listening to representatives from Marcellin College compete in the Catholic Schools Public Speaking competition. The boys from Years 7-12 did an amazing job in preparing and delivering their speeches. Their ability

to engage the audience and present in a passionate tone was truly inspirational. Speeches and public speaking is an important part of education, not only in English, but also across the curriculum.

Public speaking can seem like a daunting task, especially for a young boy, however the process can be very beneficial to his personal development. Hence, encouraging boys to speak is an important part of growing as a learner and becoming more confident.

In our modern society, communication is vital. It allows us to form connections, influence decisions, and motivate change. As we all know, without communication skills, the ability to progress in the working world and in life itself would be nearly impossible. I often say to the students that the scariest part of public speaking is the public. Focus on the speaking and the rest will follow.

By doing public speaking you are increasing your skill in communicating with others, making you more confident around people automatically. Your ability to perceive people’s reactions to your message also increases. Public speaking will improve communication skills, leadership skills, confidence and the ability to read and understand people. These are life skills – not just for school.

Let’s encourage our boys to practice this as public speaking will be unavoidable throughout your son’s life. Encourage your son to take advantage of public speaking opportunities and support him throughout. He will cultivate his communication skills and build confidence, self-assuredness and persuasion techniques.

Safety IssuesWe ask that parents discuss with their sons appropriate behaviour on public transport and walking to and from school. Our school is in a high pedestrian and traffic area. With the increased number of building works in the area, there is obviously an increase in trucks, especially in the mornings. It is advised and suggested students do not use their headphones when travelling to/from school as they cannot hear noises around them in the case of an emergency.

Y-Factor

Hosted by Sydney Catholic Youth, alongside Youth Ministers from all over the Sydney Archdiocese, Y-Factor is a camp run by and for young people! There’ll be heaps of time for games, activities, talks, discussion and a chance to grow in your own faith and relationship with God.

The Y-Factor camp is a four-day event held every year by the Sydney Archdiocese.

I can say from my personal experience that this camp is something all the boys should consider attending, as it is such an incredible experience that they will all get something out of. See the poster on this page for all the details.

EastFest

On Friday, 23 February, a group of students from Marcellin College attended EastFest. This event brings young people together from different schools to celebrate their faith.

The evening featured the musical talents of Fr Rob Galea, with over 500 students attending the event. He shared his life story and his journey of faith which bought to light how different people experience their own spiritual path.

I learnt that life doesn’t have a set path, but the decisions we take give meaning to our lives. EastFest allows young people to talk to God through in their own way, engaging us all to deepen our faith.

Visual Art Excursion

On Tuesday, 28 February, Year 11 and 12 Visual Art had the privilege of going to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. This excursion allowed us to gain new perspectives and inspiration from the vast array of artworks exhibited. We were first engaged in a presentation showcasing three Year Twelve students from 2017 who were selected for Art Express. After that, we visited and were amazed by the Art Express Exhibition itself featuring the top HSC artworks of last year.

In the afternoon, we were split into smaller groups to have a tour of the gallery, where we saw other exhibitions such as ‘Unpainting’ and the traditional ‘Colonial Australian Landscapes’. There was also a practical workshop program where we had the opportunity to get imaginative, learning to create abstract artworks.

Overall, the excursion gave us inspiration and direction when creating major art works in senior year level through the different techniques, mediums and messages conveyed through the art making process. We were definitely inspired by this trip on what we can do and choose to create.

VIVA LA PASTA!

“The Great Italian Spaghetti Bolognese Cook Off!” is in its fourth successive year now and has grown to new heights at Marcellin College. The competition was red hot this year, with many boys displaying notable expertise in the culinary arts. With eight competitors from both 8.2 and 8.3 Italian battling it out for the prestigious title of “Iron Chef!” and the cash prizes, all Chef’s truly bought their best tasting Spaghetti Bolognese Pastas to the competition.

A myriad of culinary expertise and variations were on display this year. Chefs for the first time experimented outside the norm with Gnocchi, Lasagne and Fettuccini pasta. The pride and tension amongst the chefs in the room was truly exhilarating, all boasting about their new and improved secret sauces, ingredients and recipes. The chefs tried to win over the extended judging panel of Mr MacNamara, Mr Damalas, Miss Moran, Mr Smith, Miss Rune and myself by changing pastas, adding spices, cheeses and flavouring to their liking. Once all the scores were in and the flattering stopped, two Iron Chefs emerged.

The Iron Chef of 8.2 Italian is Lucas Guerrera and for 8.3 is James Burnett.

Thank you to the judges and other competitors from 8.2 James Smith and Cornelius Koh, and from 8.3 Antonio Raffoul, Thomas Hetherington, Matthew Babbage and Moses Yacoub.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award - 2018

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is an extra-curricular programS offered through Marcellin College. Your son may be interested in participating in this Award. The Award is a non-competitive program of community, practical, adventure and physical activities embracing the four sections of Service, Skills, Expeditions and Physical Recreation. These provide an opportunity for students to acquire and develop skills, initiative and self-esteem which will help them become more confident members of the community. Participation in the Award is internationally recognised and highly regarded by many employers and organisations.

Year 9 students aged 14 and over have the opportunity to join the Bronze Award. The minimum commitment to the Award is 3 months for Skill, Service and Physical Recreation. Participants have to choose one section to complete for 6 months.

Year 10 students aged 15 and over have the opportunity to join the Silver Award. The minimum commitment to the Award is 12 months for all sections, if the Bronze Award has not been completed prior.

Your son most likely participates in some of the activities required for Duke of Ed. For example, after school and weekend sport could count towards Physical Recreation or Skill. Limited opportunities for Community Service can be organised by the College if there is interest. Many College staff have volunteered their time to participate in assessing participant progress across a range of areas.

Expeditions will be organised by the College, and further information will be provided once students have registered for the Award. Year 9 students will be able to use their school camp in Term 3 as their Practice Expedition and Qualifying Expedition.

There will be a formal cost associated with the Award which will be billed to school fees. Your son will be invited to attend a meeting, where permission forms and paperwork will be distributed. In the meantime, boys can express their interest using the Google form link here: https://goo.gl/forms/pa5kE3wuMtE8Zi3w2

The Marcellin College Squash championships were also held on Thursday, 1 March with the competition played at Matraville Sports Centre. A final team will be selected shortly to compete in the MCC competition on 15 March. Thank you to coaches Mr Brock and Mr Roemling for their efforts on the day.

Swimming: Marist College North Shore InvitationalThe North Shore Invitational Carnival at North Sydney Olympic Pool is the lead up event to the MCC Swimming Carnival. Under a stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour, our boys won the title that has eluded us for the past two years. With strong opponents in Champagnat Catholic College Pagewood, Marist College North Shore and St Gregory’s College Campbelltown, it was a true test of our ability only a few weeks out from our main event on 22 March. The squad stepped up to the challenge in true Marcellin College fashion, competing with enthusiasm and humility in what was a comfortable victory for the cerise and blue. Thank you to all the parents for taking your sons to the pool, especially to Kelly Bourke, Holly Doyle and Garry Punton for helping time-keep.

Representative SuccessThe NSW CCC Blue Awards presentation was held last month at St Pauls College Manly. These awards are presented to students who excelled at the NSW CCC level in 2017. We are proud to share that Marcellin College had two recipients on the night: Errol Gulden (AFL) and Campbell Graham (Rugby League). Both boys played at an extremely high standard with Errol earning selection in the NSW All Schools U15 AFL team and Campbell progressing through to captain the Australian Schoolboys Rugby League team. Congratulations

gentlemen and we wish you all the best in your sporting future.

Michael Wassef (Year 12) was selected in the NSW CCC Tennis team to compete in the NSW All Schools competition in Bathurst at the end of the month. Well done Michael and good luck at the next round of competitions.

Daniel Romeo Memorial CupThe annual basketball match featuring the College A Grade side and a group of Old Boys was held last Friday, 2 March in The Marist Centre. The Cup is named after Daniel Romeo, a Marcellin graduate from 2013 who sadly passed away while preparing for his HSC.

Mr James O’Shea - Sports Coordinator

The Old Boy’s side was thrown together and comprised of graduates from 2004 through to 2014. It took a while for the combinations to gel, with the A Graders taking an early 10 point lead. The momentum continued to swing throughout the match, with the lead trading hands on a regular basis. As it always does, the match went down to the wire and it was the College Vice Captain of 2004, Ben Cogin - the oldest player on the court - who took an offensive rebound and made a difficult lay up with two seconds remaining to secure the 71-69 win for the Old Boys.

Congratulations to the players from both sides for the intensity and spirit in which you played the match. Thanks also to Ms Jenny Dove for refereeing and Mrs Hayley Spencer for organising the match. It was great to see Daniel’s mother Marian and brother Josh, along with a number of other family members and friends, attend the match. We look forward to another tight tussle in 2019.
