Luke Livian

I want to congratulate everyone involved in the College's Open Day that took place over the weekend. We were once again blessed with beautiful weather, which raised the spirits and made it easy for us all to bring out the best of what Rosebank has to offer, both from an academic, sporting and human perspective. I felt tremendously proud walking around feeling the joy and excitement of the crowds and seeing for myself the care, thoughtfulness and abundance of hospitality given tirelessly by our staff and P&F team of volunteer supporters. We are deeply indebted to you all. It is days like Sunday, that make us so proud to be associated with this generous community. On your behalf, I express a big thank you to Ms Veronica Green and her Development Team, whose hard work behind the scenes is what makes this day possible. Veronica has only recently joined the Rosebank family, yet managed to step in, step up and coordinate a hugely successful day for us all. A good rest this coming weekend is well deserved! Most importantly I congratulate our student body who did us proud, attending in shifts throughout the day, to ensure that energy levels remained high and our visitors were well looked after. We have been inundated with compliments and affirmations, with special mention by name, of many of our Tour Guides and helpers and we thank you all for representing your College to such a high standard.

This week we turn our attention to our mothers, grandmothers and in fact all significant women in our lives, as we take time to reflect on the gifts of courage, strength, patience, trust, guidance and love which these woman have bestowed on us. This Mother's Day week, we also remember those Mothers who are no longer with us and give thanks for the best parts of them that make up so much of who we are. I am thankful for all my own mother has done for me, and for our family through the years and I am further blessed that my own son is enveloped in the unwavering love and support of another strong and devoted mother in my wife. When I watch them together, I can't help but be reminded of a quote I once read "Life does not come with a manual, it comes with a mother". On Friday morning, we are honored to share a liturgy with our Mothers in the Benedict Auditorium and it is always a heartfelt moment to see so many hugs and smiles between mothers and their children during this celebration. The Mother's Day morning tea following the liturgy, is always beautifully presented by our staff and we look forward to seeing many of our Rosebank mums there. For those not able to attend, we wish you all a wonderful celebration with your children on Sunday.

We wish the Year 9 and 10's good luck in their Stage 5 Elective Exams this week and remind Year 11 parents to make a note in the diary that attendance is required at the Learning Progress Meetings on Monday, 21 May. Mr Paul Hardwick Acting Principal

From the Acting Assistant Principal

Enrolments for Year 7 2020 for Current Families and Ex-students have now closed.

What is NAPLAN?The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an assessment undertaken by all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It is held in the second week of May, every year, Australia-wide. Your child will be tested upon how well they can perform essential skills.Those skills are:

• Reading

• Writing

• Language Conventions, and

• Numeracy

Unlike the HSC, schools supervise this test themselves.Using the results, you, your child and the school can best understand where their strengths and weaknesses lie.

How can my child prepare?Help your child prepare for NAPLAN by reassuring them that the tests are just one part of their school program, and by reminding them on the day to simply try their best. NAPLAN is not about passing or failing, but about assessing learning progress.

A great first step would be for them to access some past written exam papers. Teachers will ensure students are familiar with the types of questions in the tests and will provide appropriate support and guidance. Then, once they understand the format, it would be great for them to dive in and complete some of those practice papers.

What if my child is absent from school on test days? Where possible, the school will arrange for individual students who are absent at the time of testing to complete missed tests on Friday 18 May.

4

How is my child’s performance measured? Individual student performance is shown on a national achievement scale for each test. A result at the national minimum standard indicates that the student has demonstrated the basic literacy and numeracy skills needed to participate fully in that year level. The performance of individual students can be compared to the average performance of all students in Australia. A NAPLAN report will be issued by your school later in the year. How are NAPLAN test results used?

• Students and parents may use individual results to discuss progress with teachers.

• Teachers use results to help them better identify students who require greater challenges or addi-tional support.

• Schools use results to identify strengths and weaknesses in teaching programs and to set goals in literacy and numeracy.

• School systems use results to review programs and support offered to schools.

• The community can see average school NAPLAN results at myschool.edu.au

Annual College Photographs, Monday 28 May

Photo day is close at hand, use these tips to help your child get ready for a great-looking school portrait that you will treasure forever.

Do

Adhere to the College uniform code—that includes hair, make-up, nail polish and jewellery.

The night before, practice smiling a few times in the mirror. Smile with your eyes!

Shave before coming to school to avoid that awkward stubble patch.

Advancedlife envelopes will be distributed to students this week in Home Room. There are 2 ways for parents to order school photos, online or envelope.The easiest and quickest way to order your photos is online:

1. Enter the school’s secure 9 digit code2. It takes you to your school’s online community

portal3. Click on “Order Photos” and follow the steps

Alternatively, if you prefer not to order online, please complete all the details on the order envelope supplied and return the envelope to the photographers on photo day.

a) Ensure that the uniform is not too small, that is;

1. Skirt hems are just above the knee

2. Pant leg meets the shoe

3. Blouses do not gape at the buttons

4. Blazer sleeve length rests just beyond the wrist

b) Be prepared with a fresh, clean and pressed uniform.

c) College scarves and jumpers are not to be worn in photos.

d) And polish those shoes.

1. Make sure your child has a good hair day. Get their hair cut a week before photo day so they look clean cut while still giving it time to grow out a little and look natural. Be sure to keep hair off the child’s face- the face is what shines!

a) Hairstyles are expected to be reasonably conservative and of natural colour

b) Unacceptable styles include undercuts, “rat tails”, steps, lines and number 1 etc.

c) Girls’ hair which is longer than collar –length is to be tied up and back

From the Dean Of MissionThe Manquehue Apostolic Movement

During the recent holiday break Ms Mohamad and I travelled to Chile to spend time with the Manquehue Community in Santiago, while Mrs Middeldorp and Mrs Carroll travelled to Downside and Ampleforth Abbeys to be immersed in the Manquehue life in the United Kingdom.

Several years ago I read Abbot Patrick Barry’s book, Cloister in the World, a history and description of a new lay movement in the Church in Santiago, Chile. And then in 2013 Rosebank sent a group of students to Rio for World Youth Day with a mission visit to Manquehue along the way. At the time I thought that the MAM was an interesting new group in the Church, who did interesting things such as taking students on mission weeks into poorer parts of Santiago. And that was about it.

I think rather differently now. In fact, I not only think differently, but I feel as though the Holy Spirit, took me very firmly and pushed me into the Manquehue community and said – look, listen and learn. One doesn’t tend to say “no” to the Holy Spirit! Ms Mohamad and I were sent from Rosebank to visit the three Manquehue schools – San Benito, San Lorenzo and San Anselmo – and experience as much as we could the life of each community, looking, listening and learning in their prayer, teaching, pastoral care of the students and staff, mission work and, above all, in their practice of Lectio Divina.

The Manquehue movement was founded in 1979 by Jose Manuel Eguigeren, a young man seeking to know what it was that God was calling him to. Through the wisdom and patience of a Benedictine monk, Father Gabriel Guarda, Jose Manuel came to discover the richness of the Benedictine tradition and especially the practice of Lectio Divina. Over four decades later, Jose Manuel’s life is shaped every day through his encounter of Jesus in the pages of the Bible. In the meeting I was privileged to share with him at the end of our school visit, I found myself in the presence of a man who lives and breathes the Word of God with such gentle strength and joy. His promise of prayer for us here at Rosebank is one of the many gifts I have brought back to Australia. I do not hesitate to say that I felt myself to be in the presence of a holy man, a very grounded man.

The Movement’s website provides a succinct summary of the “who” and “what” of Manquehue:

The Manquehue Apostolic Movement is one of the many new movements and communities that have sprung up in

the Catholic Church over the last fifty years since the Second Vatican Council. It began in Chile in the 1970’s and the word Manquehue means ‘place of the condor’ in the indigenous Chilean mapuche language. Manquehue is also the name of the mountain on the outskirts of the country’s capital, Santiago, at whose foot the Movement first started and from which it takes its name. Its members are all lay people. The main inspiration for their lives is the prayerful reading of Holy Scripture, or lectio divina, and the teaching and spirituality of St Benedict. Their main apostolate is focused on Santiago, where they run three large schools for over 4,000 pupils, as well as 150 weekly lectio divina groups and a hostel for homeless women. They also have a community and retreat centre in Patagonia, in the south of Chile.

Over the days in the three schools we were shown wonderful hospitality from the littlest of the primary age school children, to the senior students who came up and started conversations, to the ex-students who have committed themselves to come back to their old schools and work with students in “tutoria”, about which I shall write more later, to the staff who welcomed us into their homerooms and classrooms, and to the members of the community who welcomed us into their prayer and into their homes.

The first lesson was simple - lectio. If I am to know what the Lord’s service is about, I need to know and to grow to love the one I am called to serve – Jesus Christ. Every day we had a Lectio Workshop where we quite literally, went back to the classroom to learn. And every day we studied an aspect of Lectio and then prayed Lectio together, learning to let the Holy Spirit gently speak to our hearts and doing what we so often pray – “Come Holy Spirit enlighten the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the power of your love”. If I pray it, why would I not want to let it become real for me?

The second lesson I learned in Santiago was also simple - tutoria. If I am to be in a school of the Lord’s service, then his service is what must always come first; everything else will follow – after all that is what he promised us in Matthew’s Gospel: Seek first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6.33) The business of seeking God is a way of learning; and the best way of learning is to be mentored or tutored by someone who has lived this way for some time, younger or older, it is not important. What is important is the attitude of listening and looking for the encounter with Christ that brings about deep friendship.

And the third lesson was even more simple – community. If I am to be grounded in the Lord’s service, in a deep

6

friendship with Christ and working as a part of his mission, I need the companionship, nurture and challenge of a community of like-minded and like-hearted sisters and brothers.

These three components – tutoria, lectio and community – are the heart of the three schools and the heart of the community. Always inviting others to “come and see” the Manquehue community offers to the students, staff and their families, an opportunity to be Christian in the way God has called each of them – committed or single – and serve God’s people in the Body of Christ, the Church through the wisdom of the

tradition of St Benedict. Over the next weeks I will introduce the three components in more details and invite my fellow pilgrims to share some of their reflections of their experience in Chile and the United Kingdom. Next week - Lectio

Open Day 2018

P & F News Open Day has come and gone for another year; so much planning and execution, but it was fantastic to see the suc-cess of the day. To everyone who donated their time, the donated cakes and the students who worked alongside the helpers I want to say “Thank You” very much. In fact Open Day to me was a great example of the support from our College Community and how we work in conjunction with the College to have a job well done.

The next major milestone is of course next Friday’s Mother’s Day Mass. I hope you can come along and celebrate with the College. The P&F will be selling tickets for the Mother’s Day raffle, which will be drawn after Mass. Good luck to all who have bought tickets.

Finally again a huge “Thank You” to everyone who helped make Open Day 2018 a great success.

What’s New @ your State Library?The World Press Photo Exhibition returns for 2018 and is on during Saturday 26 May to Sunday 24 June. This free exhibition showcases the work of photographers from 126 countries.

2018 Stella Award Winners

Each year the Stella Prize is committed to recognising the best books by Australian women, both fiction and nonfiction. The judging terms are that the winning book be: excellent, original and engaging. By raising the profile of women writers, and celebrating their achievements, we hope to erode the self-perpetuating cycle of underrepresentation that confronts all women writers – not least nonfiction writers. We believe that the best way to achieve this is to seek out and popularise excellence in women’s writing. We want the full range of women’s stories and women’s ideas to be valued and heard. We want women’s commentary on politics and their historical research to be rewarded.

The Stella Prize for 2018 was awarded to Alexis Wright who also won the Miles Franklin award for the same book:
