We wish all students well as they balance their time to complete Trial Exams and these other projects. Congratulations Year 11! Last term all Year 11 students attended a Driver Awareness and Safety Training Day. This is an annual excursion which always has a powerful impact on all who attend and often leads to a far more responsible approach to driving. I know that our students behave very well - especially when they are in public. However it is very pleasing when members of the community take the time to comment on this excellent behaviour. Terry Birss, Chairman of RYDA Australia wrote: ‘I have been informed that your students were a credit to your school both in their behaviour and the manner in which they engaged with the presenters and Rotary volunteers. We were impressed with your students’ attentiveness to the potentially life-saving messages which we trust will stand them in good stead for the future.’ I also recently received a congratulatory email about the behaviour of a Year 11 student, Laura Attard, for the way in which she approached a local business for her Business Research Task.. These are two examples of the impact all our students have on all those they meet.

A convert to Catholicism, he, like many converts before him including John Henry Cardinal Film Reviews Newman (one of the most famous converts of them all) discovered that writing as a Catholic attracted attentions they Book Reviews had never received before conversion. For years Newman Contact Us was under a Vatican cloud for some of his writing, and Greene was at the height of his international fame when his Search highly acclaimed novel The Power and the Glory received a ‘negative judgement’ from the Holy Office (despite Cardinal Archives Montini, later Pope Paul VI, as the Vatican’s pro-Secretary of State for Ordinary Affairs intervening on Greene’s behalf at Submit Story the time).

  • Faith-Filled Australian Lives Celebrated During Ad Limina Visit
    AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS CONFERENCE Faith-filled Australian lives celebrated during Ad Limina visit Media Release June 27, 2019 Australian bishops are hopeful that a number of Australians could follow in the footsteps of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and enter the Church’s Communion of Saints. As part of their Ad Limina Apostolorum pilgrimage, which commenced on Monday, bishops met Wednesday with officials from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, including its prefect, Cardinal Giovanni Becciu. Progress on the journey towards beatification of two prominent Australians – Eileen O’Connor and Dr Sr Mary Glowrey – was high on the meeting’s agenda. Sydney Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Randazzo, who has been involved with the cause for canonisation for Eileen O’Connor, said he was encouraged by what he heard from the officials of the Holy See. “While we in Australia already understand the holy life that Eileen led, including co-founding Our Lady’s Nurses for the Poor, and we would like things to proceed quickly, the congregation explained that the process is complex – and rightly so,” Bishop Randazzo said. The bishops also discussed other holy people who might one day progress down the path to sainthood, including famed 19th-century humanitarian Caroline Chisholm, St Vincent de Paul pioneer Charles O’Neill, Constance Gladman, a religious sister who was killed while teaching in Papua New Guinea, and Fr Joseph Canali, known as “the Apostle of Brisbane”. Bishop Bosco Puthur, who led the delegation to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, said as well as discussing people of the past who lived saintly lives, the conversation also explored how people today can pursue holiness.

Pickering Department of Social Science © Carole Walker, 2001. ABSTRACT Caroline Chisholm Australia Nineteenth century emigration Nineteenth century women's history Philanthropy The purpose of this thesis is to look at the motivations behind the life and work of Caroline Chisholm, nee Jones, 1808-1877, and to ascertain why British historians have chosen to ignore her contribution to the nineteenth century emigration movement, while attending closely to such women as Nightingale for example. The Introduction to the thesis discusses the difficulties of writing a biography of a nineteenth century woman, who lived at the threshold of modernity, from the perspective of the twenty-first century, in the period identified as late modernity or postmodernity. The critical issues of writing a historical biography are explored. Chapter Two continues the debate in relation to the Sources, Methods and Problems that have been met with in writing the thesis. Chapters Three to Seven consider Chisholm's life and work in the more conventional narrative format, detailing where new evidence has been found.

For these students, as well as those in Years 11 and 12, the end of semester is a logical place to pause and take stock of learning. I urge parents and students to read the reports together. For students who have done well I urge them to be genuinely pleased with their efforts. Of course, for each student, “doing well” will mean something different but for all students it should be seen in terms of achieving personal goals and making personal improvements. These students need to be able to articulate what it is they have done in terms of work habits to achieve these goals so they can be maintained. For other students, it is a time to reassess and, with the assistance of teachers and parents, review learning goals and implement realistic strategies to achieve them. I hope all students and parents have a restful break and students return to school next term with recharged batteries, eager to continue their learning and friendships.

  • Session 8: Commitment
    SESSION Commitment SESSION 8: COMMITMENT Extract from Catching Fire It is one thing to know what we are about. It is another to be committed to that with passion and conviction. Commitment gives life to the purpose we have. It is the lived out witness to the vision we carry, and the tangible expression of the deep faith we have. The way we express our commitment is as unique as we are. But it will be nurtured in us all by a personal prayer life, and characterized by engagement with the world that is respectful, empowering and hopeful. 1. Article: The Australian Religious Landscape through Catholic Eyes, on the Eve of World Youth Day 2008 by Fr. Frank Brennan (Published as “Ein Weltjugendtag an gottlosem Ort? – Die kirchliche und religiose Landschaft Australiens” Herder Korrspondenz July 2008, pp. 345-9 (German abstract here)) James Denney, a nineteenth century Scottish Presbyterian theologian, described Australia as “the most godless place under heaven”. The label is often taken as the starting point for discussing the religious sensibility of Australians who live in a markedly secular, materialistic society founded upon the dispossession of the Aborigines who had inhabited the land for up to 60,000 years. The British were the first Europeans to establish a permanent settlement on Australian soil. They erected a penal colony at Sydney Cove, asserting sovereignty in the name of the British Crown on 26 January 1788. No treaty was negotiated with the Aborigines. No compensation was paid for the state-authorised confiscation of their lands. It took until 1992 for the Australian courts to recognise that Aborigines had rights to land which survived the assertion of British sovereignty.

    An overview of Stile, Australia’s #1 science resource provider EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 2 Table of contents Welcome letter 3 How we are rethinking science education > Our principles 5 > Our pedagogy 7 > Our approach 9 A simple solution > Stile Classroom 12 > Squiz 14 > Professional learning 15 > Stile Concierge 16 Key benefits 17 The Stile community of schools 19 The rest is easy 24 Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 3 It’s time to rethink science at school I’m continuously awestruck by the sheer power of science. In a mere 500 years, a tiny fraction of humanity’s long history, science – and the technological advances that have stemmed from it – has completely transformed every part of our lives. The scale of humanity’s scientific transformation in such a short period is so immense it’s hard to grasp. My grandmother was alive when one of the world’s oldest airlines, Qantas, was born. In her lifetime, flight has become as routine as daily roll call. Disease, famine and the toll of manual labour that once ravaged the world’s population have also been dramatically reduced. Science is at the heart of this progress. Given such incredible advancement, it’s tempting to think that science education must be in pretty good shape. Sadly, it isn’t. We could talk about falling PISA rankings, or declining STEM enrolments. But instead, and perhaps more importantly, let’s consider the world to which our students will graduate. A world of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.

Over many years of living and ministering with many people in differing localities across the country I became aware of their search to give expression to God’s presence amidst the changes and the challenges that had come into their lives. This response revealed the spirit of the Second Vatican Council in a way that its documents could only suggest. As such this was a conclusion before I began the research.
