The theme in presenting our Association’s Biennial Conference is to explore and discern the Gospel’s challenge: Who is My Neighbour? The Conference Planning Committee has structured a very topical and relevant program within this year’s theme. The program invites delegates to consider the diversity of our faith, culture and traditions of our Church, Australia and the region in which we are placed. We are privileged to have engaged, as keynote speaker, the Bishop of Darwin, Eugene Hurley. Bishop Hurley will be supported by a range of speakers and workshop presenters as we participate in the conversations regarding Who is my Neighbour? I acknowledge and thank the Conference Planning Committee, which has so generously given much time and expertise in bringing this program together. The Committee is confident that you will find the resulting program to be a timely, challenging and worthwhile experience. Our conference venue is the Darwin Convention Centre, which is ideally located on the harbour and near the Darwin CBD. I am sure you will enjoy the relaxing environment in which to participate in the quality program of conference sessions as well as the social aspects of the conference. Delegates are encouraged to attend the Welcome Reception and the Conference Dinner. Networking in a collegial atmosphere has been a feature of our CaSPA conferences and this year will be no exception. Finally I acknowledge, with great appreciation, the generous and loyal support of our sponsors who are listed within this brochure. I encourage all participants to visit their stalls during the conference. Enjoy the conference and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to engage with colleagues and speakers, attend the quality presentations and enjoy the experience of being in Darwin in July. Yours sincerely Phil Lewis CaSPA National Chair INVITATION FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR It is my pleasure to be able to invite you to the Top End of Australia for the CaSPA Conference 2014 at the Darwin Convention Centre. Darwin is a richly diverse city where indigenous culture and traditions, with a particularly strong influence from Asia, work to provide a community that aims to be inclusive and respectful of difference adding to the uniqueness of our theme: Who is my neighbour? We have assembled an experienced and varied selection of keynote speakers to engage, challenge and enlighten all delegates. Led by our Bishop, Eugene Hurley, a passionate advocate for supporting caus- es that advance human dignity and Bishop Vincent Long from Mel- bourne, who will share his inspiring story from humble beginnings as an asylum seeker from Vietnam to a leading figure in the Catholic Church. Other keynote guests include Tom Harbottle, an expert in business and strategic planning, performance management and conflict resolution; Steve Francis, an articulate and engaging speaker who will guide us through staff resolution and building a healthy work- ing environment and our final keynote speaker will be Darwin’s own, Charlie King, a well-known local ABC commentator and sports enthusiast. Charlie was a commentator at the 2008 Beijing Olympics for ABC, becoming the first Indigenous Australian to commentate at an Olympic Games. Charlie is active in promoting sport and a strong advocate of our indigenous community. The conference will also provide a number of workshop presenters covering a kaleidoscope of topics including panel sessions with local indigenous leaders, urban and remote school leaders, and issues relevant to student wellbeing and care in Catholic Secondary Schools today. Please take the time to peruse all speaker biographies in our brochure to enable you to map out your areas of interest. Our venue is magnificently located on the harbour, next to Stokes Hill Wharf and walking distance to the CBD. It is within easy reach of a range of hotels and accommodation, fine dining, cafes, bars and entertainment. CaSPA’s Conference is held every two years and has gained a reputation for collegiality, spirit and quality. Of course it is for Secondary Principals in Catholic Schools, however, emerging and system leaders have always been welcomed and will again be most welcome in Darwin. Our committee has worked hard to ensure we can provide all delegates with an opportunity to absorb, enquire and enjoy all facets of our conference. We look forward to seeing you for a winter’s break in the Top End! With best wishes David Finch Conference Chair PRESENTERS Catholic – Is there a Difference? Bishop Eugene Hurley, Bishop of Darwin, Diocese of Darwin, NT Bishop Hurley was Bishop of the Port Pirie Diocese from 1999 – 2007 and was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Darwin in August 2007. He is currently Chair of the Bishops’ Commission for Pastoral Life, Deputy Chair of Caritas Australia and a member of the Bishops’ Commission for Justice & Development. He has worked in support of rural and remote communities and has been an advocate for refugees and detainees. He has postgraduate qualification in Education and Counselling. Abstract: What is it that is unique about a school that we refer to as “Catholic”?

    CAMERON MACKINTOSH’S ACCLAIMED NEW PRODUCTION BOUBLIL & SCHÖNBERG’S LEGENDARY MUSICAL Lyrics by HERBERT KRETZMER EDUCATION RESOURCE PACK AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2014 TM © 1986 CMOL TM © 1986 CMOL Les Misérables – Education Resource Pack OVERTURE: AN INTRODUCTION Dear Teacher, Welcome to the Education Resource Pack for the 2014 Australian tour of the classic musical, Les Misérables. This education program is designed for students aged 13 years and over to coincide with the suggested age group for attendance to the stage musical. This resource includes discussion points and seven lesson plans, as well as supporting material surrounding the production. The activities focus on the transfer of the classic tale from page to stage and then screen and universal themes such as: social structure, poverty, crime and punishment. In addition, activities surround aspects of the live production, including characterisation, music and staging which lead to students writing their own personal review of the show. Each activity is based around the challenges faced turning a classic and much-loved novel into a fully staged musical theatre production (and then a feature film), maintaining the existing plot, characters and their environment, complete with a libretto, comprehensive staging and a complex physical production. Combined with a visit to the show these lessons will give your students an insight in the production of the musical, as well as a pivotal time in French history and the personal journeys of Victor Hugo’s famous characters including Jean Valjean, Javert, Fantine, Eponine, Cosette and Marius. This resource pack has been created for use in the classroom and is designed to facilitate discussion and the gaining of knowledge surrounding the complex elements which, when combined, result in this production.

Vision Australia’s 2 Carols by Candlelight Lighting up 68 Years One single candle flame sparked Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight event and began a tradition held dear by generations of Australians. On Christmas Eve 1937, radio broadcaster Norman Banks was deeply moved by the sight of a woman singing carols at her window with the glow of a candle illuminating her face. The following year, he organised a gathering of 10,000 people to sing carols by candlelight in Melbourne’s Alexandra Park. Nearly seven decades later, the warmth and goodwill of this magical night has spread from Victoria throughout Australia, lighting up many lives with the joy of Christmas. For the 20,000 who crowd The Sidney Myer Music Bowl each year, it’s a chance to enjoy great music and fun. Millions tune in to the Nine Network’s telecast. But even more heart-warming than the excitement of the night, is the fact it helps a meaningful cause, benefiting children who are blind or vision impaired by supporting the valuable work of Vision Australia.
