From the Editor

The Life of the School

Fr Chris Middleton SJ

Rector

The second half of the year is always one of much busyness. Key events, such as concerts, performances, sporting matches and celebrations of learning pepper our calendars and keep the hearts of our students, parents and staff rich and full.
As one cohort departs, another steps up, and the College will stand in good stead next year with newly-appointed College Captain Ben Wright-Smith and Vice-Captains Tom Croagh and Patrick Prowse. On page 9, we also welcome our new Director of Burke Hall Campus, Brett Collison and learn about his journey in education so far. Similarly, we get to know longserving Kostka Hall staff member Rob Shinners and how he is incorporating his interest in neuroscience into the classroom (page 13).

The Israel Folau controversy, and the termination of his contract after he tweeted about his religious beliefs, triggered a debate about religious freedom in Australia. The Morrison Government is committed to legislation around religious freedom, though its formulation is proving a formidable task.

In this edition, we celebrate the APS victories of Water Polo (page 12) and Basketball (page 14), reflect on the wonder and spectacle of the Hamer Hall concert (page 26) and highlight the students who are demonstrating a commitment to and passion for service (page 17). In the Obituaries section, we celebrate the life and legacy of Xaverian Award recipient Tim Fischer (OX 1963).

Understanding and appreciating our differences, rather than fearing them, is a recurring challenge in human history. Racism, sexism, homophobia, sectarianism, anti-Semitism, all have at their heart an intolerance of difference, expressed in some form of prejudice or hate. And tragically, in our human story, we are faced with outbreaks of violence, even to the point of massacres, pogroms and attempted genocide.

  • And Nazism, more than perhaps any
  • Undoubtedly, the debate in Australia

over freedom of religion will be a heated and divisive one. Religious schools are an epicentre of the debate as we try to balance their rights to control ethos with the demands of anti-discriminatory legislation. But the implications are profound across much of society in terms of freedom of expression and diversity of opinion.

other ideology was able to play on human fear in its drive for power. There is then a fundamental responsibility for our western and Christian traditions to be particularly alert to manifestations of anti-Semitism.

We must also acknowledge the departure of two key members of the Editorial team; Contributing Editor, John Fox as well as Director of Development and Community Relations, Tony Bretherton. Both have contributed significantly to the content and direction of this publication over the years and we wish them well in their future endeavours.

Today, Jews are regularly targeted around the world and, in Australia, Jewish

institutions are subject to security measures not seen in any other section of our community. Traveling to Kostka, I often pass Yeshivah, the Jewish school where tight security is very evident. It is a sad fact of life for our Jewish community.
Ultimately, freedom of expression is the great enemy of intolerance and hate, but there is a cost: we must allow voices of dissent and viewpoints that we passionately disagree with to be heard. And particularly in the academic world and in the media it is important that competing voices are heard, and that alternative perspectives are not shut down out of political correctness, or through concerted attempts to deplatform views not held by establishments, or through using legislation as a weapon, or because we are uncomfortable with what is being said.

Archives

It is also the time of year when we bid farewell to another cohort of Xaverians. The Class of 2019 have exemplified what it means to be exceptional graduates, and we look forward to celebrating their accomplishments within the Old Xaverians’ Association pages of this magazine in the future.

Australia has been largely spared such extremes of human violence, with the critical exception of the terrible losses sustained by our Indigenous people during European occupation. Today, though, we remain a remarkable society, diverse in origin and ethnicity, pluralistic in faith and beliefs, or lack of beliefs, and largely appreciative of the complexity that gives us our identity.
Dialogue with Islam has emerged as one of the great challenges of today. JohnPaul II emphasised this when he prayed in a mosque and spoke of what united the three great monotheistic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Pope Benedict was somewhat more confronting in challenging Islam to face issues of liberty and human rights in parts of the Islamic world where the practice of Christian faith is illegal or severely limited. Islam faces significant questions concerning pluralism and

Challenges do remain, and people are hurt by attitudes or actions that, consciously or not, reflect fear of difference. Young gay Australians can experience prejudice and even brutality. Many Muslim Australians experienced misunderstanding in the wake of terrorism. A ‘respectable’ form of anti-Catholicism still finds its insidious way into Australian life. Indigenous Australians remain vulnerable to racist prejudices.

In a school, promotion of tolerance and respect for difference is an ongoing challenge but one integral to the formation of character. Valuing our ability to express freely our opinions and ideas is also fundamental to building a healthy and robust community. Sometimes there can be a tension between the two. Navigating that tension can be challenging, yet it is one that we should not shirk. Balancing individual freedom and responsibilities towards others, standing up for one’s beliefs and having tolerance for difference, holding together humour and sensitivity, these are always issuing facing society, issues that find expression in the classroom, the yard, the staff room and the home. individual liberty, the rights of women, the notions of religious and secular society. One might also say that Christianity took a long time to face similar questions.

Islam is a broad movement of over a billion believers containing significant diversity just as Christianity does. We need to remind ourselves that for a significant period in history the Islamic world was the home to the best in science and learning. Nor should we forget that much of the Islamic world is still emerging from the demoralising experience of Western colonial rule,
Anti-Semitism should hold a particular place in our consciousness. No single event in our story holds as much horror as that systematic attempt to wipe out a people by the most advanced society in Europe, using all the tools of our modern world, including its science and technology. Social Darwinism helped drive Nazi ideology, as did an ancient anti-Semitism that was partly shaped by distortions of Christian teaching and shameful actions by some Christians.

Culture eats strategy for breakfast - but gets its appetite from purpose

Reflecting on the year that has been

Meet members of the Xavier College Board

Tony Nunan

Chai r , X avier College Board

Much has been written about esteemed Old Xaverian Mr Barry O’Callaghan AO (OX 1954). Barry, as most of you would be aware, was a former Chair of the Xavier Foundation and Chair of the Xavier School Council, which was a forerunner to the current College Board. During my time on the Foundation and on the Board, Barry was very supportive and extremely helpful with advice, especially in the area of governance. On behalf of the Xavier Board I would ask that you remember Barry in your prayers, and we offer our condolences to Claire and the O’Callaghan family.

  • Fr Gerry Healy SJ
  • Tony Reeves

I attended St Patrick’s College East Melbourne, a Jesuit school in Melbourne, now closed, and from which Xavier grew in 1878. I hope as a Jesuit I can give back something of what I gained at a Jesuit school.
My involvement with Xavier is quite brief compared to many Xavier community members, even though I have been on the Board for nine years. Back in 2010 I had wrapped up, I thought, my full time executive career and wanted to “give back” to the community in one form or another. There was a need for my skillset on the Board and Finance Committee so this was an excellent ‘match’.

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast” is a phrase that has been attributed to Peter Drucker, particularly by the likes of Mark Fields who went on to become the Chief Executive of motor giant Ford. Drucker is one of the most known and influential thinkers and writers in the field of management theory and practice. He posits that the best strategic plan cannot be achieved without a strong, shared culture, one that is vibrant and cohesive, for in short – culture drives strategy.

Specific actions have now been established

6. For Our Operational Excellence, the

College will focus on developing a strong culture of stewardship with attention to four key overarching elements in the operational excellence domain: financial health; risk and compliance; information technology associated platforms; and effective operational systems and performance to breath life into the strategic framework. These will be appropriately communicated and astutely measured to ensure a tangible sense of purpose and progress. It is opportune to note in this wide forum the broad orientation of these carefully discerned actions, linked to our seven Pillars in XC150, that will drive the College forward in the coming year:
Over the past year, Fr Michael Head SJ has left the Board to be replaced by Fr Michael Ryan SJ. Fr Michael Head SJ started his education at St Bedes in North Balwyn and then continued on to St Patrick’s East Melbourne to complete his schooling. In his speciality of history, Michael has brought some wonderful memories of previous characters within the Xavier community to the School Council and Board.
I started teaching at Xavier as a young Jesuit scholastic in 1971. My academic background is science, in particular physics, and science education. For many years I have been involved in the curriculum and assessment of HSC/VCE; chairing a couple of Areas of Study in Physics and Environmental Science.

7. For Our Global Engagement, the College

will enhance its outward-facing and global perspectives by developing new initiatives, engagements and collaborations with likeminded entities (as part of a broad partnership ecosystem) to promote inspiring student and staff learning experiences

1. For Our Jesuit Identity, the College

will seek to refine particular aspects of this fundamental element of our life and education, particularly around the teaching of Religious Education and the formation of staff, as well as our meaningful engagement with Indigenous peoples and associated programs
Many organisational and management firms have picked up this call and developed the broad tenets at play. Many note a powerful triumvirate for organisational transformations – strategy, capabilities and culture, with the three forces needing to be designed together and hence aligned and enabling of each other. It is also observed that no culture, no matter how strong, can overcome poor strategic choices, and that the impact of culture on success is only as good as its strategy is sound.
I have a fiduciary duty but I see my role as being much broader and more important than just the statutory requirement. I bring rigour and creative thought to strategy development and implementation, and I also sit on the Risk Committee and Chair the Finance and Audit Committee. I would like to think that I have assisted the Board’s deliberations on strategy and have contributed to greater stability and predictability in the College’s finances, modernisation of the accounts and the adoption of improved governance and risk management practices.
Sarah Rey also stepped down from the School Board. Sarah, with her extensive legal knowledge, has played an active role on the School Council in its transition to the College Board. Her helpful advice also included a variety of matters including staff employment contracts, risk and compliance issues and a nomination process for new board members. This advice has been invaluable.
As John O’Brien, the Head of Purpose at PR agency Peter Novelli quips: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast, but culture gets its appetite from purpose”. We will continue to be relentless in driving and shaping every element of our culture in order to be able to deliver on our strategic intent.

2. For Our Inspiring Learning, the College

will examine specific aspects of our curriculum provisions and approaches to teaching and learning in the pursuit of excellence and an aligned and progressive evolution of our offerings, structures and programs
I have also taught in the Science section of the Faculty of Education (now Melbourne Graduate School of Education) at the University of Melbourne for about 25 years. As a Jesuit, I also work with the Jesuit Companion Schools - particularly St Ignatius Geelong, with which Xavier has a special relationship, and Loyola Watsonia.
We also say goodbye to Ned Kelliher, the 2019 College Captain. Over the past 12 months I have seen Ned at many functions, and he has always been welcoming and shown great enthusiasm for all his varied tasks. We wish Ned and all the Year 12 students the very best in their exams but more importantly in their lives ahead. May they be ‘Men for Others’.

3. For Our Student Life, the College will

deepen its capacity to impact in this core element of school life, and our commitment to Cura Personalis, with attention to various proactive measures that further develop individual character and wellbeing, as well as collective culture across the College, deepening engagement between all Xaverians
Our staff, working in alignment with our parents, will be relentless in encouraging, challenging and forming our students through inspiring learning experiences, be these in the classrooms or in the fields and service settings beyond. We will be relentless in our pursuit of the actions that breathe life and purpose into our Pillars, as we strive to form exceptional Ignatian Graduates who are at the heart of all we do. And we do this in the knowledge that the stronger and deeper and richer our culture, in alignment with our strategy and purpose, the greater our outcomes.
The pleasing element for Xavier is that both of these ingredients exist, and in abundance! While defined in many ways, such as through an entrenched set of values, beliefs and practices, the strong cultural underpinnings of the College have been shaped by the Ignatian tradition that is approaching 500 years of formation. It has been further developed and lived from one generation of Xaverian to the next, by the staff who have been custodians of good living and worthy standards and experiences, as well as by the parents who have been both trusting in our school but equally supportive and aligned in our joint mission for our students, our sons.
This year we also say good bye to Mr Greg Carey. As Director of Music, Greg has made Xavier a leader in school music curricula which includes a rich variety of programs. The Three Campus Concert this year at the Hamer Hall was a very fitting tribute to all the work Greg has done.
My main role on the Board is as Chair of the Education SubCommittee. With such a long commitment to Xavier, I am very solicitous of maintaining its role, and in particular, ensuring it maintains its Jesuit and
I am totally on board with
At the end of my first year as Chair, I must thank Fr Thomas Renshaw SJ as head of Jesuit Education Australia. He has helped shape the Xavier Board in many ways and I thank him for all his help during the year. I also am delighted to thank Mr William Doherty for the inspiration and leadership he has given me and the Board over the last 12 months. I count Bill as a colleague and friend after my first 12 months in the new role. the Jesuit tradition to provide excellence in education with the belief that, through rigorous self-reflection, each person’s imagination and creativity can be more fully integrated with faith and reason. This tradition helps educate the entire person who, it is hoped, will provide outstanding leadership and service for others in the world.

4. For Our Xavier Family, the College will

strive to enhance the quality and depth of the fundamental relationships that underpin all elements of our broad community, improving our communications systems and information delivery to promote engagement and shared understanding spirituality emphases.

Sursum Corda

Similarly, due to my background, I have a focus on maintaining the academic strength of the College.
The XC150 Strategic Plan was released in April and featured in the first edition of our Xavier News this year. It speaks to a clear Intent that challenges us to look beyond our immediate surrounds, to ask the key questions and to courageously pursue the answers, all the while centred by our distinct Jesuit character.
Lastly, I would like to thank Fr Chris Middleton SJ for the wonderful work that he does in helping our Xavier students in so many ways. Fr Chris Middleton is not only a counsel to many of the students but a source of Ignatian spirituality to the wider Xavier family, especially with his wonderful words in Xavier News.

5. For Our Professional Expertise, the

College will proactively strive to enhance the experience, wellbeing and capacity of all staff, with the desire to embed exceptional systems and practices that inform a professional, supportive and dynamic staff culture
I wish all the extended Xavier family a very happy and holy

Christmas.

My journey at Xavier, which began at Kostka Hall Campus in 2012, has moulded me into the young man I am today. The further I travel into my final year (which is so hastily coming to a close), the more I learn to reflect on the small moments, each of which contribute to a kaleidoscope of treasured memories of my time at College.
Amidst the sprawling grounds and teeming classrooms of our College, it is truly the experiences and community offered at Xavier that have defined my schooling experience. In describing my time within these gates, the phrase “seek and you shall find” most aptly captures the quintessential experience; the wealth of opportunity that the College provides, ranging from sport to music to academics to theatre, has often left me struggling to strike a healthy balance.
Everybody remembers different things from their childhood. Traumatic memories, like falling over – see that scar you still have? I remember those. Fun memories, like a puppy dog-themed 7th birthday party. I remember those too.

    Hachette Australia partners with Channel Seven to create two Home and Away novels. PUBLISHER Hachette Australia is thrilled to announce they are working with the Seven Network to publish two Home and Away novels. The launch publication is a Home and Away and Australian first: an ebook published as part of a special TV event. The first book ties into the special TV event, Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye, which launched on Presto on December 9, immediately following the season finale of the regular series on Seven. The Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye TV event is exclusive to Presto and centres on the Braxton family, seeing the return of two much-loved characters, Heath (Dan Ewing) and Bianca (Lisa Gormley) to Summer Bay. Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye, the novel, releases exclusively in ebook in Australia on 16 December with a paperback edition earmarked for 2016. The second – as yet untitled – novel will also be released in 2016. There is already interest in both novels from UK publishers given the UK is Home and Away’s strongest market outside of Australia and New Zealand. Hachette Australia’s Fiction Publisher Rebecca Saunders said the manuscript was under lock and key because it contained explosive material and exclusive scenes that will not be shown on television. Saunders said the books aimed to take readers further into the hearts and minds of the much-loved bad-boy Braxton family. “Home and Away has the country’s most devoted and passionate fans and Home and Away: An Eye for An Eye has been created and produced just for them by Seven Productions.

    Windows into the past: narrative insights into education Eleanor Peeler [email protected] WINDOWS INTO THE PAST: NARRATIVE INSIGHTS INTO EDUCATION Eleanor Peeler University of Melbourne, Melbourne Abstract The intent of this paper is to stress the importance of narrative and story, and to share the experience of opening the windows of memory to look into the past and uncover fascinating and valuable histories as portrayed in a current study. The longitudinal study of an educator follows his life story and his role in education. Set in Victoria, it explores the founding of the State’s education system and highlights progressive developments. The life story reveals the history of the system and evolving philosophies that influenced the life of the subject. The study considers the philosophies and how they influenced the subject’s thinking and actions. Using windows as a metaphor, Part 1 of the paper includes discussion regarding the appropriacy of narrative as a research tool, considers the notion of memory and introduces the research subject. Part 2 gives insights into three distinct periods and the part played by three men who guided Victoria’s educational development and growth throughout the twentieth century. In relation to each is a brief discussion of their influence on the career of the research subject. Windows into the past While the story of the narratives holds interest, the process of narrative inquiry is a valuable tool for research. The intent of this paper is to stress the importance of narrative and story, and to share the experience of opening the windows of memory to look into the past and uncover fascinating and valuable histories.
