Golf Day Learning @ Whitefriars Library News Parents Association Progress X Conference SET News Timor Visit Sports Reports In Fide Issue 11 28 July 2017 From the Principal Mr John Finn Principal Welcome to third term. Our young men seem to have returned fresh and enthusiastic for the challenges ahead. At the end of last term, a group of thirty-five boys and five staff journeyed to Darwin and the Tiwi Islands as part of an indigenous immersion program. This group had the opportunity to partake in life in Northern Australia in a way that many others are not able to experience. The College is grateful to Jason Jones (father of Kaiya in Year 10) who arranged this trip in liaison with our staff. The boys met Senior Australian of the year, Sr. Anne, on the Tiwi islands, stayed at the Michael Long Centre in Darwin, journeyed to Kakadu and played football against the Northern Territory under 16 side. A number of inspirational speakers who tried to impart their stories of The Dreamtime, family life and the Stolen Generation complemented those journeys. Quite a set of memories! I had the opportunity to meet with the group last week and was very taken by their own reflections and sense of gratitude. This life experience will remain with the boys and staff forever. It also gives the College further opportunity to explore the ways in which we are able to educate our Community on Indigenous culture in a non-tokenistic and meaningful manner. We are currently exploring further ways to do so. Principal’s Report continued over page ... Whitefriars College Inc.

In Fide Newsletter Issue 11 28 July 2017 Principal’s report continued. The Year 9 cohort were in the City during the final week of last term. This gave them the chance to see our City in a different context. We take for granted that our boys are well travelled in that area. However, many Whitefriars boys know the Eastern suburbs roads far better than Melbourne laneways. This exploration of the City precinct proved valuable in understanding the place of law, finance, business, sport and tourism. Our boys were excellent ambassadors whilst journeying around. Two Whitefriars staff were in Timor-Leste over the holiday break. They went there to teach young Carmelites who are in training at Hera, just near Dili. Mr Vujcich and Ms Matthews worked with these brothers in Philosophy, English and Information Technology. Their generous efforts were much appreciated by the Timorese. The third and final Kairos retreat has just concluded. This Year 11 program had been a strong feature of College life for a number of years. Despite longevity, the impact on individual boys does not diminish. Kairos means, “In God’s Time”. The belief that there is a reflective way forward for all of us is an essential component. Young men thinking about and expressing their spirituality is a powerful reminder of the inherent goodness and optimism of youth. Well done to our Year 11s who entered so wholeheartedly into Kairos. Br Matthew Tonini is a Carmelite in training who has been a regular staff member each Friday of this year. He has now left the College to pursue further ministry placements as part of his broad education. We thank Br Matthew for his efforts and look forward to maintaining our contact into the future. We have now concluded Visual Arts week. This highlights the talents and skills of students. Whilst never blessed with any talent in that area myself, I am full of admiration for our young men who are so dedicated and refined in their work. We look forward to the exhibition early next term. Fr Paul Sireh was the celebrant for our Mother and Son Mass on Monday. It was lovely to see a near full College Chapel. The focus was on the role of women and mother’s in the life of the boys and young men present. There were a number of past mums present who were accompanied by their sons, who are now in their twenties and thirties. Thank you to Mrs Marie Cameron, Mrs Nola Murphy and Mr John Abrahams for the organisation of the Mass and function. Our Year 10 boys are now working with their families and staff to make decisions on pathways for next year and beyond. This is an important and exciting time in the life of the boys as they make discerned choices about subject areas that will be of most interest and benefit to them. The Course Advise day is to take place shortly. Guys and Dolls opened on Wednesday in the College Theatre. It is a four-night run, which has been sold-out. It is a fabulously entertaining show where the Whitefriars boys and Siena girls perform with great gusto and expertise. Congratulations to the cast and crew and to our teaching staff, who have so completely immersed themselves in the experience to benefit the performers and technicians. A reminder that Presentation Evening take place on Monday 13 November at Hamer Hall. All students in Years 7-11 should attend. The night will be a wonderful celebration of our year. The Whitefriars Community passes on its sincere condolences to staff member, Mr Greg Stewart, his wife Eva and their two children, Nick and Jessica on the passing of their daughter and sister, Jemma. May the Lord embrace the Stewart family with His love and great care. We also think of the Corda family at this time. Mr Greg Corda, husband to Lina and father to Marcus (Year 12), Luke (Year 9) and Julia, passed away recently. May God’s perpetual light shine upon him. Almae In Fide Parentis Whitefriars College Inc.

It has been good to see all the boys come back with good energy and enthusiasm. Firstly I would like to commend the efforts of the Year 9 boys, completing their first lot of semester examination successfully. The Year 12 boys have knuckled right down for their final full term of schooling before exams and Year 10 students are starting to think about their subjects and pathways for next year. The swimming carnival is being held today and I’m sure it will be a great day with good spirited competition from all the boys. I would also like to mention that we are putting together teams for Cancer Council’s ‘Relay For Life’. We are hoping to get plenty of boys together from all year levels to raise money for cancer research. Good luck for the rest of the year boys, put your head down and work hard. It’s going to fly.

    WELCOME TO WHITEFRIARS Whitefriars College was established as a Catholic Secondary School for boys by the Carmelite Order of Priests and Brothers in 1961 in response to the strong demand by Catholic families for schools in which to educate their children in the tradition of their faith. As the years have passed and the College has grown, non-Catholics have also been welcomed into the Whitefriars community, but in essence Whitefriars has remained a Catholic school in the Carmelite tradition. The Carmelite tradition is traced back to the Holy Land of the late 12th century. There, a small group of Christians who had come from Europe as part of the Crusades, established themselves as a community of hermits on Mount Carmel. Whilst circumstances forced these early Carmelites to abandon both Mount Carmel and their hermit way of life, they took with them, as they eventually spread throughout the world, the spirit of both their original birthplace and the way of life associated with it. To this day, Carmelites endeavour to witness to the presence of God in people, in nature, in the Word of God and in the deepest recesses of the human spirit. Wherever they go and whatever they do, including education, Carmelites endeavour to cultivate a spirit of prayer and reflection, a commitment to justice and peace – expressed in the service of others, a respect for and a welcome of the individual and a keen sense of belonging to a community. Carmelites live ‘in allegiance to Jesus Christ’ and draw on the inspiration of Mary his mother, Elijah – the Prophet of Mount Carmel, and the many holy men and women who have followed the Carmelite ‘way’ in their lives.

The Carmelite presence in that country has been long and proud, leading many young men to take up a vocation in the priesthood. Whitefriars College is fully committed to supporting the works of the Carmelites through providing resources, both human and fiscal, to the many worthy projects and courses being undertaken. There are physical reminders of this connection around us at the College. Outside the Chapel is a photo wall of our boys and their recent immersion experiences. There brightly painted shipping container that houses many donated items and sits at Merinda; it is Timor bound shortly. The Timor- Leste flag also flies each day opposite the Reflective Garden. We all have the opportunity to further assist when, on Mt Carmel Day, we fund raise through the walkathon. Any assistance with sponsorship is always most appreciated. There was recently a gathering of those students who in Years 7-10 had a very successful academic semester one at the College. These boys mix ability with effort and we congratulate them on their achievements. Past student Julian Lipinski gave a talk on motivation and keeping all things in balance.

  • A Model of Australian Private Secondary School Fees
    Department of Economics Working Paper Series What is a high school worth?: A model of Australian private secondary school fees J. N. Lye and J. G. Hirschberg Sept 2012 Research Paper Number 1161 ISSN: 0819 2642 ISBN: 978 0 7340 4512 6 Department of Economics The University of Melbourne Parkville VIC 3010 www.economics.unimelb.edu.au What is a high school worth?: A model of Australian private secondary school fees J. N. Lye and J. G. Hirschberg1 Abstract Over the last few decades there have been significant increases in student enrolments in Australian non-government schools. It has been suggested that this growth has been the outcome of government subsidies to non-government schools. Despite this significant funding school fees have also been increasing. In this paper we examine these changes for Victoria and look at a number of comparisons between government and non-government schools. In addition, rather than examining the determinants of school selection we examine the determinants of fees at non-government schools by estimating a hedonic price model. We conclude that the characteristics of the schools such as university entrance performance do have a positive impact on the fees. In addition, we determine that the socioeconomic status of the other students has a positive impact as well as the scale of the school as measured by the number of staff, the variety of the offerings and the age of the school all have a positive impact. 1 Department of Economics, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Vic, 3010. 1. Introduction In most of Australa parents have three options for their children’s secondary school: government, Catholic and independent.
