Dear Members of the St Patrick’s Family, What a week it has been since I last wrote to you. Last Friday we were witness to a very special Liturgy where we inducted our College Leaders for 2012 and as a College community launched and reaffirmed our commitment to the EREA Charter. Whilst the Induction Mass was special it was eclipsed by our 60 Year Celebration Mass and Open Day. Large numbers of past, present and future members of the St Patrick’s College community arrived at St Patrick’s College last Sunday to celebrate what has been an outstanding 60 years for the College. It was quite overwhelming to see so many people from our past. There were many students from 1952 as well as a number of staff who taught over the years, including a number of the past Christian Brothers of St Patrick’s College. Following the Mass, the Open Day brilliantly showcased what is on offer at St Patrick’s College in 2012. Our current students proudly conducted tours of their College to those past and future. It was a fantastic day. I wish to sincerely thank all those involved in making Sunday such a successful day. To the staff, the parents, the students, the old boys and all the other people who contributed in some way - THANK YOU. This week and next week will return to some normality, although interrupted by swimming carnivals and camps. We are approaching the middle of the term and it is important that the students have settled into a routine. Homework, revision, assignment with their co-curricular commitments is critical. I encourage parents to monitor their son’s progress and ensure that they are into a good routine. Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday and signifies the start of Lent. This is a very important time in the Church’s calendar. As a College we will signify the importance of Ash Wednesday with House Liturgies. Parents are welcome to attend these liturgies with their sons. Yesterday was February 15 and as a College community we acknowledged the loss of Elliott Fletcher with a special Liturgy. It was a time where we could pray for our lost friend, and a time we could support each other as a Band of Brothers. Elliott will always be a part of St Patrick’s College. I refer parents to the College calendar, the Calling and the College website for the various upcoming events. Term 1 is very busy so keep in touch with what is happening. Finally, a reminder that the Shindig is not far away. Book early to reserve your table. Have a great week. God Bless

Dr Carroll has mentioned the outstanding success the 60 Year Celebration Mass and Open Day was last Sunday. I too, would like to add my thanks to the whole St Patrick’s community who were involved in making the day so wonderful. I particularly want to congratulate all the students who volunteered to be tour guides on the day. It is not necessarily an easy task to walk complete strangers around the school for over an hour and knowing what to say at all times and how to answer the many questions thrown at the tour guide. But our young men who put their hand up to show our many visitors around did a fantastic job. Over 150 young men of St Patrick’s proudly showed off their College. Their outstanding efforts were acknowledged by so many of our visitors. Typical of the responses from visitors included:-

Many parents commented to staff about how impressive the tour guides were. One actually said ‘You must only pick the best students for the guide job because they talk so highly about the school’. She was surprised to learn that they volunteered.

One parent made sure they went out of their way to mention their guide- Liam Anderson. She said he was extremely helpful, professional, knowledgeable and passionate about SPC.

One family corresponded:

“Our family had the pleasure of attending your Open Day on Sunday. We were most impressed with the school and its facilities. However, my wife and I were most impressed with our tour guide - a Year 11 student named Christian. His manners were impeccable, enthusiasm for the school contagious, commitment to his stud-ies and future career inspiring. Leaders such as Christian are fantastic role models for the younger students. With our son starting at St Patrick's as a Year 5 student next year our minds were put at ease and we are looking forward to joining the St Patrick's community in 2013.”

Congratulations and thank you to all the fine young men of St Patrick’s who did themselves and their College proud last Sunday.

INDIA IMMERSION

MICHAEL XANTHOPOULO

In trying to describe my time in India, I could explain our itinerary and nearly four weeks of the amazing activities and sites. However, on reflection, I think a more effective way of explaining my true experience of India might be by sharing this simple story ….. The beginning of the immersion landed us in Kolkata. First impression was shokkas! Our taxi drivers did not acknowledge any road rules. Dogs, goats, bikes, cows, and a number of other animals roamed the streets, including the homeless people sleep-ing on the side of the road which was confronting. Later on in the immersion we discussed that people lived on the foot paths and walked on the roads along with living there they also showered went to the toilet and threw their rubbish right next to their homes. This for me was where my immersion began, I realised that we had left our comfort zones back in Australia and had been thrust into a city of squalor where little to my knowledge some of the most confronting experiences were yet to come. However I would rather talk about one of the most heart warming experiences of my trip.

December 10th

We arrived in Rag Gong Par late in the afternoon after a day of much needed sleep and relaxation we arrived straight into the loving arms of sister Magdalin Peter, her greeting was one of the most sincere and heartfelt of the trip. She gave all of us, complete strangers, a great big hello and cheek touch. This first impression of sister made me think she was a little too touchy and weird. After the hellos with all the other sisters had concluded we were herded into the eating room where we were given a beautiful welcome song and a golden welcome scarf. This was followed by an abundance of food that 20 people would not have been able to finish yet the 13 of us tried and failed. From here sister took us to her day school where the children put on one of the most amazing welcomes I have ever seen. Upon walking through this small arched gate in a big wall we were given Hindu dots on our foreheads and showered with small yellow flower petals as we walked through to the back yard where the performances or the “program” as the Indians call it began. The program was about one and a half hours long which included dances, drumming and many other performances.

Once all the performances were complete sister put out a table full of red bags that had ‘Merry Christmas’ written on them. The bags contents consisted of a plate, soap, note pad and pen. I later realised that these were the kids Christmas presents. Our bare necessities of daily life were these kids Christmas presents. This was very humbling in making me realise how lucky we all are in Australia being born into a country of opportunities. I later on realised that these kids who were so happy with their gifts and our presence were untouchables. Untouchables are the lowest class of Hindus, born into a life of slavery to the higher classes in the Hindu society. This absolutely shocked me that these wonderful kids were born to be the toilet cleaners of their country.

Sister Magdalin Peter has recognised the injustice of this class system and has dedicated her life to educating these victims of society. Sister is considered refined by the Government yet she is still working in the school as a teacher and has been for the last 40 years as a side job to what the Hand Maids of Mairy (her organisation) have allocated her to do. Sister Peter is a remarkable woman who is fighting for the equality of people in India. Her big heart has touched all of us on the trip through her kindness, self sacrifice, commitment and unconditional love to everyone around her. Hopefully a little bit of her has rubbed off on us, I know it has on me. I hope Mooney

keep raising funds for her cause because it is the most worthy cause for the most loving person I have ever met.

CURRICULUM ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL CURRICULUM — CHRIS CAMPBELL

On Monday of this week assessment calendars were distributed to all students. Please ask your son to show this to you. I suggest keeping the planner in a place where it is clearly visible throughout the semester. It would make good sense to highlight the due date of tasks relevant to your son. As well I would look to place reminders in things such as student diaries, Outlook express, even mobile phones. It is a very short time until assignments start to become due for submission. Could I ask all parents and boys to refer to the assignment policy in the student diary. It is very important to take note of some key points in this policy. First-ly, the lesson indicated in the assessment planner. In a number of subject areas, students are being invited to upload or email sections or drafts of assignments tasks. This is an important component of our unit design. Nevertheless, it is important to note that at this time all final copies of assignments must be submitted in hard copy at the beginning of the lesson in which they are due. It is not permissible for boys to email final copies of assignments to teachers. We do require a printed copy with task sheet attached. As well, it is not permissible for boys to be excused from the room to go and print the assignment. In fairness to students who have brought a printed copy for submission. Stu-dents who ask to leave the room in order to print their work, will be considered to be late. Please note that the policy states clearly that students who cannot submit in the opening minutes of the lesson in which the work is due, will not be permitted to hand the work in later that day or any day after the deadline. In these cases, teachers will compile a mark by making reference to draft work or research notes. Where no draft work is available, students will be asked to complete the assignment during the lesson and submit whatever they complete. If students are away on the day an assignment is due, the College requests that an email is sent to either the class teacher or Head of Curriculum informing them of the student’s absence. This is a courtesy in addition to the normal phone call to the Student office. Generally we would require a medical certificate regarding the above. One would assume that if the absence is only for that day, then the assessment task is likely to be complete. I would request that in this case the work is emailed to the teacher, with the student presenting a hard copy with task sheet on the first day of his return. If the illness has been ongoing and the student has missed school leading up to the due date, I suggest that an email or phone call to the class teacher would be beneficial in assessing the best course of action. In the case of extensions, again, I would suggest contacting the class teacher or Head of Curriculum well before the due date to discuss any difficulties or concerns. Students are not permitted to apply for extensions on the due date. There are a number of other components to the policy. It is quite strict, but by doing so, I believe we maintain an environment which is fair for all students.

INTER-HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVALS Thank you to all the staff and students who were involved in the swimming carnivals on Tuesday and Wednes-day this week. We also very much appreciate the support of those parents who were able to join us for the car-nivals. All results will be published next week.

WEEK 5 “HAIR WEEK” We have concluded week 4, next week we will be half way through the term I ask that you check your son’s hair and if required, make the necessary arrangements to have their hair cut to meet the College guidelines be-fore the start of next week. I remind all students that their hair needs to be combed in a style that is appro-priate for school. We have spoken to a number of boys and have sent letters to parents of those boys who re-quire to have their haircut earlier. The “shaggy” or “undone look” is not part of the Hair and Grooming policy at St Patrick’s College. I ask that you check your sons diary Pages 27 – 28 for the full Hair and Grooming Guidelines.

YEAR 6 CAMP PROGRAM All boys in Year 6 will be required to meet at the Plaza Area near the Dowd building on Monday Morning.

YEAR 8 CAMP AND RETREAT PROGRAM WEEK 5

ALL YEAR 8 STUDENTS will undertake a special program next week. Each House group will spend three days on camp, one day on retreat and one day at school. It is important that all students undertake the full program for the week. Students who are going on camp on Monday and Wednesday will be required to meet at the Callan Centre Steps. The outline for Week 5 is as follows: NOTE Student are to wear Sports uniform when they are on the retreat program and the Cultural program. The retreats will occur at Decker Park and also the Shorncliffe Pier area. Students will be transported by bus to Decker Park.

It is expected that all students will participate in the full program

ST PATRICK’S SOCIAL Our first Social for the year is on Saturday 25 February. It will be held at the Sandgate PCYC and is for Year 9 to 12 students.

IDENTITY & MINISTRY

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL IDENTITY — MATTHEW HAWKINS

O n Friday of last week, we officially inducted our Senior students at our annual Induction Mass, celebrated by Fr Liam in the Cal-

lan Centre. As always, it was a lovely morning for our students and for their families who attended. The Gospel from the Mass was my favourite passage of the Bible – from Matthew 25. When Christ says to his followers, “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink”, they reply, “Lord, when was it that we did these things?” To which the Lord replies: “The times you did for one of these, the least of the members of my family, you did it for me.” It reminds us that when we serve, it is far more than just a good deed for the day. Our Catholic faith teaches us that in serving others, we serve God. It reminds me of my own personal experiences in South Africa, in the Philippines, and in India, when I have absolutely felt closer to God when I have been with the poorest of the poor. It reminds us also of our call to serve the homeless of Brisbane through the Paddies Van. One of our Year 9 Quane students, Darcy Devine, recently wrote a reflection about his Paddies Van experience just before Christmas… It was a week before Christmas, there sitting, alone, cold, and hungry, sad and wishing they had a loving family, these are the homeless people at Emma Miller place. You can imagine the reaction on these people’s faces when they heard that the Paddies Van was going to spend the days leading up to Christmas with them. When I heard that I was going to be part of this trip I was very nervous. I was nervous because I had never seen the reality and truth behind these peo-ple; I had only ever thought that these people were mean, scary, and ugly, but that image was all about to change. When the Van pulled up I stepped out of the car to see at least 50 people laughing, talking, and sharing sto-ries. They weren't arguing, scary; some even dressed better than me! There was a feeling of belonging and community in the air. While the adults unpacked the Paddies Van Trailer, I introduced myself to many people; some of these peo-ple were extremely kind, funny, and generally great people to talk to. Not once was I yelled at, rejected or given any hint like I didn't belong. I then started hearing tragic stories of people’s lives. Some even went from having it all: mar-riage, kids, big house, happy family to nothing in only an instant. Some struggle to find love and others were rejected by the one who should have been the closest in their lives, kicked out of home and even beaten. Either way they all ended up like they are. I was so surprised after all they have been through that they still have an enormous will to live. They are the strongest, most inspirational people you could know, and yet they are broke and live on the streets. So I started serving dinner and handing out coffees and hot chocolates, then it came to dessert time and I also went around handing out cakes, presents and making everybody feel like family. Then I saw a couple sitting on their own, so I got Mum and we walked over and had a chat. I asked them, “Do you have any friends around town?” They both replied, “You.” It then struck me these people depend on people like us, and not just for food. The Paddies Van gives these people a reason to wake up in the morning and continue on. I realised gatherings like these are what bring these people the feeling of love and care that they don’t get from some of the other people in their lives. I took so much out of this three hour trip and it will stick with me my whole life. I urge you all to go to at least once and experience the feeling of community that the Paddies Van brings.

“The times you did for one of these, the least of the members of my family, you did it for me.” Have a great week.
