KENNEDY: I wish to ask the Vice-President of the Executive Council and Minister for Planning and Environment a question without notice. Is the Minister aware that country and decentralized industries, particularly those in the engineering field, are having great difficulty in remaining viable owing to freight rates on steel? Does the Minister realize that the recent 7 per cent increase in freight rates means an increase of 14 per cent to those industries which have to cover both inwards and outwards freight? Will the Minister confer with the appropriate Minister in another place with the object of exempting or relieving decentralized industry from the recent increase? The Hon. D. P. LANDA: I am familiar with the fact that certain country and decentralized industries are having difficulties. Notwithstanding the attempts by the federal Government to turn on the industrial lights and the community's lights, those industries are not alone at this particular time in this problem. It has been brought to my attention that they may be having difficulty in remaining viable as a result of the 7 per cent increase in freight rates on steel and other co~mmdties.All I can do is undertake to the honourable member and to the House that I shall obtain further information on the matter from the Minister for Transport and Minister for High- ways. The Government is conscious of the need to encourage decentralized industries. 2988 COUNCIL--Questions without Notice-Appropriation Bill However, it does not intend to exempt industries that may be suffering difficulties as a result of the stringent economic problems which emanated from the federal Govern- ment's actions a long time before freights were increased. I undertake to obtain a more detailed answer from the Minister for Transport and Minister for Highways and I shall inform the House further in due course. SYDNEY CHURCH OF ENGLAND GIRLS GRAMMAR SCHOOL The Hon. D. P. LANDA: On 11th November, the Hon. F. M. MacDiarmid addressed a question to me concerning the financial difficulties of the Sydney Church of England Girls Grammar School at Darlinghurst. I undertook to obtain further infornation. I have had discussions with the Minister for Education. As is known by all honourable members, the school is encountering problems. It is understood by the Minister for Education that at some time last year the school's difficulties were discussed by some of the organizations attached to it. It is understood further that the Church of England works on the basis that each school it administers should be a viable unit in its own right and that funds are not transferred from one Church of England school to another. In time of linancial stress such as SCEGGS is at present suffering, it is clearly a decision for the council of SCEGGS and the achdiocese. There is no prospect whatever of the Government's becoming involved directly in providing for the school assistance of the type that the Hon. F. M. MacDiarmid suggested was given to the Cronulla Sutherland Leagues Club. That suggestion was incorrect; no money was made available by the Government to that club. Honourable members may be assured that the excellent schools within the State system administered by the Department of Education will welcome any girls who need to transfer to them. APPROPRIATION BILL Second Reading Debate resumed (from 16th November, vide page 2901) on motion by the Hon. D. P. Landa: That this bill be now read a second time. The Hon. 0.M. FALKINER [4.35]: I join with other honourable members in congratulating the new members of the Chamber upon their contributions to this debate. I look forward to their future speeches. I have been a member of this House for a little more than thirty years and I hope to be a member for a considerable time to come. Tonight I intend to refer to the industry that made Australia what it is today, from its inception to the present time, to its problems, their causes and the effects they are having on the burning question of unemployment. In 1970 when the wool industry was at one of its lowest ebbs I forecast an unemployment figure of 300 000. Although I hope that figure will not be reached, I do not think I will be far out. Unfortunately the indications are that, unless some miracle happens in the meantime, that figure will be reached in the new year when school-leavers join the work force. Some years prior to 1797 a Colonel Gordon of South Africa had obtained some Spanish merinos from Holland. When he died his widow offered for sale thirty-seven sheep. In 1797 when Captain Waterhouse called at the Cape of Good Hope on his way to Australia he was Appropriation Bill-17 November, 1976 2989 unable to finance the purchase of the whole flock, but he bought twenty-six sheep. A Lieutenant Kent, who was on one of the other ships in the fleet, bought the balance. They were the only good sheep that came to New South Wales in its early days. On arriving in Australia, Captain Waterhouse dispersed the sheep among six colonists. Mr Macarthur purchased six rams and some ewes. If I may go forward a little, when Macarthur got into some trouble he returned to England. He took with him a sample of 250 lb of wool from the progeny of the Waterhouse sheep. At the colonial exhibition in London he was awarded two gold medals for promoting an ind~tstryin a colony that was in dire financial trouble. As a result of his lobbying while in London, he was able to persuade the British Government to allow him to bid at auction for some rams of the flock of King George 111. Mr Macarthur was fortunate in buying four rams, which arrived in Australia in 1805. The Hon. W. J. Geraghty: What breed were the rams? The Hon. 0.M. FALKINER: Spanish merinos. I suggest that the honourable member should read His Majesty's Spanish Flock, which is in the Parliamentary Library. The history of that flock is that they were smuggled out of Spain by the British Ambassador to Portugal. Apparently more than bootlegging took place in those days. With the advent of the Napoleonic wars the monopoly of Spain was broken up and a number of merino sheep from that country went to France, some to Saxony and others to the Hapsburgs in Austria. In 1826 Mrs Forlonge decided to emigrate to New South Wales. Her husband, John Forlonge, was a lazy man. Unfortunately, there was a lot of illness in the family. Sir Thomas Brisbane, who had just returned to Scotland from his post as Governor of New South Wales, persuaded the Forlonges that the best place for the health of their children was New South Wales. John Forlonge, his wife Eliza, and their sons William and Andrew went to Germany. This intrepid woman decided to get the best sheep available in Germany. She had a bag of gold and decided to set out in search of sheep, although it was said that she would be robbed. She was not. In twelve months she walked 1 500 miles through Saxony and Silesia. That was a remarkable achievement for a woman of any age. She gathered her sheep and marked them by placing a leather collar with a seal on it around their necks. On her way back when driving the sheep she was thrown into gaol, but by good fortune a German count came along and got her and her sons out of trouble. Otherwise she and her sons, as well as the sheep, would have been lost. She left one boy at school, and sent another to a woolsorting house. She was the first person with a sound knowledge of sheep to come to this country. Her knowledge of sheep was so good, as I shall point out later, that she surprised experts at the famous French stud at Rambouillet, the flock at which was the branch of the Spanish merinos in France. There is a conflict in the story then. Her family account says that in 1828 the flock was sent out to Hobart. They were supposed to go to the mainland, but the Governor of Tasmania-I think it was Governor Arthur-was a persuasive man, and persuaded young William Forlonge to settle in Tasmania. There was a lot of con- troversy over the amount of land that they should get, as William was under 21 and his brother Andrew about 10, and they wanted a land grant for each. The sheep were thought of so highly that Governor Arthur eventually gave him a grant which became known as the property Kenilworth. They settled there, and their sheep were so superior that he had no trouble selling the progeny.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: Old Government House and the Government Domain (also known as the Governor’s Domain) at Parramatta Park are primary sites associated with the foundation of British colonial settlement and provide a tangible link to Australia's colonial development of 1788. Convicts built many of the structures in the place and were the labour force which operated the farming and other enterprises that occurred there. The house itself and the surrounding historic elements such as the bathhouse, carriageways and gatehouses, and the remains of Governor Brisbane’s observatory, all reflect the establishment of agricultural production, the administration of the colony, the administration of the convict system in Australia, the commencement of town planning, and the site of some of Australia’s earliest astronomical and botanical endeavours.

  • AMSSA Newsletter
    Australasian Mercy Secondary School Association Fostering Mercy Spirituality and Ethos NEWSLETTER MARCH 2016 HOME ABOUT RESOURCES OUR SCHOOLS NEWS CONTACTS AMSSA Report The AMSSA Executive met on Saturday 20 February in Melbourne to develop an action plan for the Association’s work next two years. It was a very productive meeting. We spent some time mapping the AMSSA landscape including identifying the governance structures and the heritage of member schools. With the latter we focused on whether schools had one of more congregational heritages. What became clear from our mapping exercise was that about 33% of member schools are owned directly or through a corporate structure by the Sisters of Mercy. Another 14% are formally aliated with a Mercy Network such as the Mercy 5 or MEL. A further 30% are not formally aliated but have single heritage in Mercy. The remainder of schools have more than one heritage usually because they have been formed through amalgamation of two or more schools. This information together with feedback from the survey conducted by our Executive Ocer Kitty Guerin at the end of last year assisted the Executive to shape their work over the next two years. We wanted to identify what we could oer that was not available to those with close Mercy connections and further what services we were placed to oer because of the breadth of our network. The Executive conrmed two major areas for 2016/2017 Continuing the program of sta and student conferences. AMSSA is able to provide this service to schools because of the size of the membership.

  • Olmscene Semester 1, 2019 from the Principal Celebrating 130 Years of OLMC
    OLMsCene Semester 1, 2019 From the Principal Celebrating 130 years of OLMC This is a very significant year for both the Parramatta Sisters of Mercy and for the community of Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta as we come together to celebrate our 130th anniversary. In December 1888 our pioneering Sisters, led by Mother Mary Clare Dunphy, arrived on the shores of Sydney from Callan, Ireland and ventured out to Parramatta by train to create a new congregation to assist the sick, the infirmed, the marginalised, the women in the asylums and to begin a ministry of education. We can be truly thankful for their courage, commitment to their faith, and their Irish tenacity which helped to create a wonderful legacy for our community. I believe it is also important to acknowledge the past Principals of the College who provided such wonderful inspiration and guidance over the past 130 years. and the College have commissioned the It is fitting also in our 130th year to Principals of the College creation of a bronze sculpture of Catherine acknowledge the dedication and service of McAuley by Gael O’Leary that will be not only the pioneering Sisters but the many Sister Alacquoe Kavanagh 1889-1908 placed under the Walnut Tree, behind the women who joined the Sisters of Mercy Sister Frances Kearney 1909-1933 Mother Mary Clare Dunphy Chapel.

  • Courageous Advocates. Limitless Possibilities
    COURAGEOUS ADVOCATES. LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES. A Mercy Education is committed to excellence and enables every student to achieve her potential by developing her unique gifts and talents. OUR MISSION A Catholic Independent Girls’ School Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta is a leading Catholic independent girls’ school founded on the Mercy charism. As a welcoming community, we value the pursuit of excellence and the development of each individual as a learner, leader and teacher. The College’s founding Sisters arrived in Parramatta from Callan, Ireland in 1888, determined to provide young women with new opportunities, including the chance for further education. The Sisters worked tirelessly to establish the foundations for what has become a leading independent school in the heart of Western Sydney. OLMC Parramatta is one of the oldest Catholic girls’ schools in NSW. From its establishment in 1889 until 2003, only seven women held the position of College Principal, all of whom were Sisters of Mercy. This continuity in vision over the years saw a treasured legacy established, including an unwavering commitment to social justice. Our vision is to provide a contemporary Mercy Education that empowers young women to lead with courage and act justly, making a difference in whatever sphere of life they choose to move, in the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy Foundress, Venerable Catherine McAuley. Empowering young women to make a difference. TRANSFORMING TRADITION Forever Anchored in Mercy As a community, we are true to the Mercy tradition and our Mercy Values. We are committed to carrying on the vision of Venerable Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, carving new paths for this strong charism into the future.
