This annual Championship brings together students from Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools. It is an achievement for every competing athlete here today to have been chosen to represent one of the 17 diocese/associations from across New South Wales. The most successful of today’s competitors will have the honour of representing NSW CCC or NSW CPS MacKillop/Polding at State-level competition. Today, I take this opportunity to thank the NSWCCC and NSWCPS Sports Councils and the Parramatta Diocesan Primary Schools Sports Council for their detailed planning and organisation of the Championships. In particular, I acknowledge the dedication of Wendy Breen (Marist College, Eastwood) and Margaret Thornton (Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta) as the principal coordinators of today’s event. Finally, I congratulate the many principals, sports coordinators, teachers, parents and other supporters who have prepared our young athletes so capably for today’s competition, as well as those who have assisted in any way to facilitate events leading to today’s championships. I wish all competitors and officials a very successful and rewarding day. Mr Greg Whitby Executive Director of Schools Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta CONVENERS’ MESSAGE On behalf of the Metropolitan Catholic Schools Sports Association (MCS) and Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta (PDCPSSC), it gives us great pleasure to welcome competitors, team managers, officials and spectators to the 2015 NSW Catholic Primary Schools and NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Cross Country Championships.

However, in order to provide this function, outdoor spaces, including parks and schoolyards, must be designed within the context of the prevailing urban climate and projected future climates. JENNIFER K. VANOS (ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL, 2015) westernsydney.edu.au 3 WESTERN SYDNEY UNIVERSITY SUMMARY This project identified the 100 most vulnerable schools to heat in Greater Western Sydney using a newly developed Heat Score. The Heat Score combines socio-economic information that captures exposure, sensitivity and adaptivity of local communities to heat with environmental data related to surface and air temperatures of urban space.

  • Chairpersons Annual Report 2012
    CHAIRPERSONS ANNUAL REPORT 2012 It gives me great pleasure to present this annual report on behalf of the executive, diocesan and association representatives and individual sport conveners. The scope of this report reflects another amazing year of sporting achievement for our catholic school students and staff in secondary schools across NSW. It provides a reflection of the incredible talent we have in our schools and the pathways that are available in a wide variety of sports. It is always rewarding to see students from our catholic secondary schools listed as members of NSW All School and Australian teams. Pope Benedict XVI in praying for this year’s London Olympic and Paralympic Games hoped for the promotion of world peace and friendship emphasizing the positive role that sports can play in society. He said, “the Olympics are the greatest sporting event in the world, at which athletes from a great many nations participate, and as such they have a strong symbolic value. The Games remind us of human endeavour and ambition at its most pure; the will to come together to measure our abilities and soar to ever greater heights in the name not of profit or greed but, in the words of the Olympic Charter: “at the service of the harmonious development of man, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity” Our NSWCCC sporting activities can foster these great values and are further testimony to the spirit of partnership and co-operation that are part of our Catholic education tradition. The report that follows is a most detailed account of the many sporting events for the year.

  • Gratitude ~ Passion Hope PATRICIAN INTERNATIONAL NEWSLETTER Number 40 DECEMBER 2020
    Gratitude ~ Passion Hope PATRICIAN INTERNATIONAL NEWSLETTER Number 40 DECEMBER 2020 The Christ is With Us! Let us Rejoice and be Glad! PATRICIAN INTERNATIONAL NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2020 Dear Brothers and friends, This year were find ourselves experiencing the mystery of Christ’s birth against the threatening backdrop of a pandemic, the likes of which humanity has not witnessed in over a century. Four Patricians – three in India, one in Kenya - contracted Co- vid-19 but thankfully recovered. I am immensely grateful to Community Leaders who keep our most vulnerable Brothers safe and immensely proud of Brothers in various administrative roles who try their utmost to protect the livelihoods of our employees and organise food relief. They are potent signs of solidarity within and beyond ourselves. A very much prized value within in our Patrician family is capacity for cultivating a global outlook. Our cultural diversity and geographic spread are graces for being ‘Brothers without borders’. In his October 2020 encyclical Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis urges nations to be ‘Neighbours without borders’, so as to dispel “The dark clouds over a closed world’ and nurture hearts ‘Open to the whole world’. Our Pope unashamedly pro- vokes humanity with the example of the Good Samaritan. It was a ‘stranger and nobody’, who freely, gener- ously and at considerable personal cost, unhesitatingly suspended his personal journey and agenda. These days vigilance is required of us, lest the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our respective nations erodes our commitment or narrows our perspective. For millions of people around the world, Christmas 2020 and New Year 2021 will difficult, if not altogether bleak due to the separations, suffering, death and economic loss caused by the Corona virus.

  • Ireland / Kenya Newsletter
    IRELAND / KENYA NEWSLETTER Patrician Brothers October 2014 Tragic loss of two Presentation Sisters Sister Paula Buckley Sister Imelda Carew In common with all Congregations in Ireland we offer our deepest sympathy to the Presentation Congregation on the accidental death by drowning of two of their sisters, Imelda and Paula. As they had been doing over many years of committed religious living, Paula, in her various ministries, and Imelda, as Provincial Leader of the South Eastern Province and member for the last two years of the CORI Executive, were continuing to make a huge contribution to the life of the Presentation Family and to the life of the Church in Ireland. The following is part of the homily delivered by Bishop Denis Nulty of Kildare & Leighlin during the funeral Mass for Sister Imelda: “Enjoying the peace of the evening time and the beauty of that place in the Kerry kingdom; letting ourselves go in the freedom of the purest and freshest water … aren’t all religious and priests called to let go, how often Imelda and all of us heard those words in Luke’s and Mark’s gospel: “take nothing with you for the journey”. Last Thursday both Imelda and Paula were called to the ultimate understanding of letting go, knowing that that going was into the freedom and the peace of God’s presence. For colleagues, family and friends that ultimate letting go is a huge ask in terms of the shock factor, the stunned reaction, the search for meaning and words. And so often death robs us of much more than the loss of someone we have loved, we have cherished, we have appreciated … their death robs us of our own sense of security, our own future plans, our own sense of place and presence.” News from Finglas All is changed As has already been announced, Patrician College, Finglas, has been amalgamated with Mater Christi Girls! School to form New Cross College.

    FROM THE PRINCIPAL: 10 August 2010 No. 12 Dear Parents and Friends of Holy Cross Bearers of the Flame is the theme that the Patrician Brothers will adopt for their forthcoming General Chapter to be held in India this year from 25 August to 16 September. Most significantly, the Brothers have invited lay cooperators to ac- company them during this period of discernment, as they review their mission to date and map out a plan for their mis- sion into the future. This inclusion demonstrates the commitment of the Brothers to working in close partnership with their now all lay-led Australian schools. The Australian lay representative is Mr Michael Krawec. Michael is currently a Consultant in the Southern Region Office of the Catholic Education Office and member of the Delany Foundation. He is also a former principal of two Patrician schools — Delany College Granville and Patrician Brothers Fairfield. He will take with him to In- dia our reflections on how best we might serve the young people in our care. One of the deep issues that will be considered at the General Chapter is that of the spirituality of youth. The preparatory documents for the General Chapter make the observation that: “A feature of our time is a greater quest for spirituality. Increasingly, younger generations of Catholics will say: ‘I’m spiritual but I’m not religious’. What does this mean ? Is it a ‘cop out’ or is it a symptom of a hunger for something which is deeper and more personal than a largely external adherence to Church teachings and practices?” While parish, family and the Brothers can continue to be entry points into the inner life (particularly while they are so strongly under- pinned by Holy Cross life), they compete with so many other forces in the lives of our children.
