FROM THE PRINCIPALI would like to congratulate students and staff for their contribution to the College this term and thank parents and caregivers for their ongoing support of the College. It is difficult to believe that the first half of the 2017 school year is over. There has been so many opportunities for the students to ‘Aspire to be Inspired’ through the range of curricula and extra-curricular activities on offer at the College. Some of the highlights for Term 2 include:

Our Year 12 students going to Retreat at Mittagong. This retreat experience provided an opportunity for enhancing young people’s spirituality that is different from, but complimentary to, those in religious education classes and the general school context. Our Year 12 students’ good manners, exemplary behavior and willingness to be involved in all activities was so impressive.

Our Year 12 students have also been involved in many HSC Preparation Workshops which took place on Wednesday afternoons. These workshops were run by our teachers as well as professionals from Sydney Catholic Schools in order to ensure students were provided with an advantage over others completing the HSC. They provided students with the opportunity to develop the skills necessary for HSC success. Although the attendance and participation was optional, some students attended all workshops. Students were upskilled in the following areas:

• Making effective study notes that will best assist in reviewing and understanding course content.• Unpacking questions including multiple choice, short answer and extended response; and answering them in HSC exams.• Effectively using the marker notes and marking criteria to provide better responses in a HSC exam.• Minimising disruption, dealing with stress and getting the most out of study when preparing for HSC exams.

The students need to be congratulated on their effort and participation during all workshops. Many students will be attending Optional Workshops in the upcoming school holidays to further increase and maximise their success in their HSC trial exams next term. This shows the commitment our Year 12 students at Marist Catholic College Penshurst have to their studies and their keenness to achieve and succeed.

Another highlight for this term was the Year 7 Camp in April at Wesley Vision Valley. It was a great time for our newest students to bond as a year group and become closer to each other. There were many fun activities including flying fox, archery, canoeing, high-ropes, low-ropes, vertical challenge and learning about our indigenous brothers and sisters through a cultural experience.

A great day of celebration for our College was Champagnat Day. The day commenced with Fr Paul Smithers (Administrator: Regina Coeli Beverly Hills) leading our Eucharistic celebration at OLF Parish Kingsgrove. The students were most prayerful and respectful actively participating in all aspects of the liturgy. We also presented badges to the new Year 7 SRC as well as the 2017 Champagnat Award recipients. Then we returned to the school for an afternoon of activities. It was a wonderful way to celebrate being a Catholic school in the Marist tradition.

Agnoscere Et Diligere - To Know and To Love

A significant initiative undertaken this term was to have Mr John Coutis speak with all Year 8 to 12 students about his life story; one of hardship, living with a disability, a love of family and a firm belief that every life is precious. He challenged all of us to adopt a positive mindset and to write down our goals. John would support the College’s Target Setting and would encourage all students to review these goals for the second half of the year especially as the Year 7 to 10 Semester One reports were issued this week. I strongly encourage parents/caregivers to review their daughters/sons goals and where appropriate adjust these goals or set new targets. Years 7 – 10 will be spending time in Pastoral Care on the first Thursday back discussing these goals with their teachers and updating the Target Setting document. In Year 11 the College is looking towards setting up a mentoring program where identified staff will work with students individually on their target setting.

Last week saw the culmination of the Regional Catholic Schools Debating competition which involves the school each Wednesday afternoon debating against other local Catholic schools. All of the teams were very competitive and our Senior Team was victorious in their section of this competition. At Thursday representative sport we have had boys competing in soccer and rugby league and the girls in netball. The Junior Soccer, Intermediate Rugby League and Senior Rugby League teams made the grand final with the Senior Rugby League and Junior Soccer teams being victorious. The College has also competed in the CBSA Table Tennis, CBSA and SCC Cross Country and SCC Dance with great success.

Add to these events the Mother’s Day Liturgy, National Sorry Day, Archbishop Leadership Forum, ACYF Penshurst, Nursing Home visits, Peer Support, ANZAC Day Memorial Service, and our Creative Arts programs in music, choir, band, drama, dance and art and you can see that there is a vast array of opportunities for students to Let

their Light Shine.Most recently Dr Dan White, Executive Director of Sydney Catholic Schools, announced that due to the increase in demand for enrolments the College will become dual campus from 2020; the same year that our first coeducational cohort graduates from Marist Penshurst. At this same time the four-stage building project at the Mortdale site should be completed.

I wish all staff, students, parents and caregivers an enjoyable and relaxing Term 2 school vacation.

Mr Ray MartinCollege Principal

Parents/Carers,

In the last week of Term 2, it is indeed a great pleasure to look back and reflect on what has been a term of hard work, deep learning and celebration for all that makes this College a place of welcome.In our most recent Parent/Student/Teacher interviews, many parents spoke glowingly about how their child feels happy, safe and supported at the College and as a result, enjoys coming to school. Research tells us that when students feel connected to their school in this way, that there is a strong likelihood of ensuring each student reaches their learning potential. Many thanks for being important stakeholders in the education of your son/daughter. Without your support, our job is made incredibly difficult.

Attendance and NotificationsRegular attendance at school and punctuality contribute to a student’s academic performance and holistic wellbeing.

Student Services have implemented a new notification system which allows parents/carers to inform the College of your son/daughter’s lateness or absence via text message.

Lateness: In the event that your son/daughter arrives to school after 8:45am without a note informing the College as to the reason for their lateness, an SMS alert will be issued at 11:00am.We request that you reply to this message indicating the reason for their lateness eg. transport delay, family delay. Alternatively, you can call the College on 95796188.

Absent: In the event that your son/daughter is absent, an SMS alert will be sent by 12pm indicating their absence. Please respond to this message with the reason. eg. sick, medical appointment, leave (funeral).

A reminder, if after seven days an explanation for the absence/lateness has not been forwarded to Student Services, then this will be deemed ‘Unexplained’ and will appear on your son’s/daughters report as such.

School Zone TrafficAs you are aware, the College has experienced enormous growth in student numbers over the past three years. The College will continue to grow with a new intake of Year 7 students in 2018 that will surpass the Class of 2017 numbers. As such, traffic management around the College is critical in maintaining a safe environment for our students, caregivers and members of the general public who use these facilities. Our neighbours have been most accommodating of the building works that have occurred over the past three years, including heavy vehicles accessing the site. We have, however, fielded a number of concerns from residents reporting that parents have obstructed private driveways. Furthermore, I have noticed a number of parents queuing at the Bus Stop to enter the Kiss and Ride. I take this opportunity to remind parents/carers that there are hefty fines issued by Council and Police for traffic infringements around school zones.

We encourage parents/carers to model safe road use and be mindful of the traffic around the College.

I take this opportunity to wish our students and staff a rest-filled break.

YEAR 7 NEWS‘Never see a need without doing something about it’

These inspirational words spoken by Saint Mary MacKillop were put into action this term by our Year 7 student Mia Zielke. Refugee week saw Year 7 learning about refugees, their hardships, challenges and hope for a new beginning. Mia saw a need and did something about it! These are Mia’s thoughts:

‘Many people don’t understand what hardships refugees encounter on their journey and after their journey. I was always aware that refugees had to leave their country, but I didn’t know what challenges they faced. During a Religion class with Miss Elhage, we watched a few videos in honour of Refugee Week but one caught my attention. It was a song clip by Missy Higgins called “Canada”. That video inspired me to take action and that is what I did. I did some research and found a website called Just Giving. I created my very own charity page and chose Jesuit Refugee Service as my chosen charity. My goal is $250 and I am already over half way there. I believe everyone should take action to help refugees because they came for a better life and that is what they deserve.

Mia – Year 7’I would like to commend Mia for her thoughts and actions.

Ms Louise Beard - Year 7 Leader of Wellbeing

Year 7 English / Pastoral Care IncursionRecently our Year 7 cohort was treated to the dramatic performance of ‘Cybershots’ by Bamboo Theatre. In this combined English and Pastoral Care incursion, the students engaged in three short plays exploring the dangers and ethics of social media. Set in a school, the scenarios focused on many cyber safety issues that are prevalent in our society and some of the technical policies surrounding photographs and videos that are posted on social media. The performers after each play debriefed and gave the students information regarding ownership of photos in social media apps and the legalities surrounding social media usage. The final play explored the role of the bystander in an interactive way, having students vote on how the play’s ending could have been more positive for all involved. Overall, the students gained insight into the complex world of social media and were made aware of the possible ways it could impact their lives, encouraging students to be responsible users of social media.

Ms Lisa Farrelly – Assistant English Coordinator

MARIST SUPER CONNECTOn the evening of 16 June, Travis Giannarakis, Dominik Ivesic and I participated in the Marist Super Connect, hosted by Marist College Eastwood. Accompanied by Mrs Beard, we were given the opportunity to meet other Marist students and teachers from around Sydney. The theme of the evening was Refugees and Asylum Seekers. Each of us (including Mrs Beard) had to split up and join in with separate groups made up of students and teachers from other schools. Throughout the evening, questions were put to us about refugees and we were given the opportunity to discuss and converse with our groups. In addition, we met two refugees who told us their stories and the reasons why they decided to come to Australia. Their stories were quite confronting and were real eye-openers for all of us.

I believe the Marist Super Connect was a beneficial and worthwhile experience. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening and learned so much more than we anticipated. I would like to thank Mrs Beard, Mrs Vassallo, Marist 180 and Marist College Eastwood for organising this event.

Excursion to Paddy’s Market

On Friday the 16th of June, Phillip and I went on an excursion to Paddy’s Market in the city with Mr Karpouzos and Mrs Fox. Phillip and I were given the responsibility to get there and back to school safely. We caught the train from Mortdale to Town Hall. Once we reached Town Hall station we didn’t know which way to get out to Bathurst Street. Phillip asked the transit officer for directions. Once we got out, we started to walk to the market, but we got lost. We all remained calm and overcame the obstacle together using the GPS on my phone. We eventually arrived at Paddy’s Market and we began by looking around at the shops. I did most of the shopping and I was very happy that I ended up with four bags of shopping at the end of our adventure. After we shopped at Paddy’s Market, we went to Market City. Phillip took us exploring around the store by using the escalators. We then found the way to Harbourside where we had lunch. On the way we stopped at a playground where we all enjoyed sliding on an enormous slippery dip. It was then time we went back to the train station to go home. Once we arrived, Mrs Fox took us to her favourite coffee shop in Mortdale. We then returned to school where Mr Morris greeted us outside his office, and asked us about our wonderful day.

DANCE NEWSOn Monday of this week 30 girls from Years 7-9 competed in the 2017 SCC Dance Competition hosted by All Saints Catholic College, Liverpool. The girls competed with four dances in the Hip Hop, Contemporary, Intermediate Jazz and Junior Jazz sections and were up against 10 other Catholic schools. I am pleased to announce that we placed in all four sections that we entered in receiving 4th place for Hip Hop, Intermediate Jazz and Junior Jazz and 3rd place in contemporary. This is a great result for our school and I am very proud of the way the girls conducted themselves at the competition.

A big thank you to Mr Terry Urquhart for driving the school bus and supporting the girls, one of our prac students Miss Chloe Yianoulatos for her amazing help and support on the day and Mr Ray Martin for attending the competition and showing great support for our dance girls.

Last Sunday evening three of MCCP Dance squads competed in the 2017 Sydney Dance Eisteddfod at the Sydney Opera House. The squads that performed were the Junior Jazz, Intermediate Jazz and Hip Hop Squads. Competing against 18 other schools from all over Sydney, (not just Catholic schools) the girls portrayed a professional and respectful attitude throughout the entire competition and represented their school with great pride. The girls were a true representation of the Marist charism.

The Junior Jazz and Hip Hop squads unfortunately did not place on the night but I am pleased to announce that the Intermediate Jazz Squad received a Highly Commended for their performance. All three dances were performed to the highest of standards and this experience was a great one for all students. This competition is one of the most competitive school dance competitions in Sydney and I am so pleased to have placed on our first time competing in this event.

Special thanks to Ms Paola Laurenzi and Ms Anna Le for helping me on the night and to all our wonderful staff for coming along to watch the girls perform. The contemporary squad will be performing on the 22nd of July at NSW University in the contemporary category of this competition.

Ms Samantha Rothwell - Dance Coach

DEBATING I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and congratulate our debating teams for their efforts and enthusiasm competing in the Regional Catholic Schools Debating Competition. This year, our Year 9 and Senior teams made it to the semi-final round. Years 9 were unfortunately defeated during this round. The debating finals were held at Mount Saint Joseph College, Milperra on Wednesday 21st June. Our senior team defeated Aquinas College, Menai on the topic: “That Australia’s future is looking bleak”. MCCP argued as the negative team. Congratulations and thank you to all our debaters and coaches. The amount of school spirit and generosity shown each week has been amazing. Our 2017 teams are:

Community ServiceOn Wednesday 14th of June, 20 MCCP Year 10 students answered a call from one of our local feeder primary schools and volunteered to assist in the running of the St Declan’s Athletics Carnival. The students travelled with St Declan’s students to Barden Ridge Athletics track and assisted the staff across a number of events throughout the day. Ms Rachel Davis of St Declan’s had this to say about our students - “The boys were SENSATIONAL AND EXCEPTIONAL. An absolute credit to you and your school. The day would not have been as successful without their presence. We cannot thank them enough”. We are very proud of all those who volunteered and gave back to their community in the Marist spirit of service.

Mr Jon Cullerton - Year 10 Leader of WellbeingJewish Museum ExcursionOn Tuesday 13th June, Year 10 went to the Jewish Museum in Darlinghurst to supplement our current topic of study; The Holocaust. We were first spoken to by a Holocaust Survivor Yvonne - born in Czechoslovakia and sent to Auschwitz as a worker in the Women’s camp, and escaped when the camp was liberated by the Soviet Union. She told us brutal stories from family losses as well as the terrible conditions in the Jewish Ghettos and concentration camps which were experienced by all camp inmates. We were extremely lucky to have listened to Yvonne as she was 14 at the time of being imprisoned at Auschwitz making her one of the oldest Holocaust survivors in Australia. We were then given a tour of the newly renovated museum, which had many exhibits about the treatment of the Jews under the Nazi regime to life after the Holocaust. Both confronting and enlightening, this was an amazing experience for Year 10 hearing a personal story from a survivor and being educated on details and facts beyond the textbook and internet.

NETBALL REVIEWJuniorThe Year 7 Junior Netball team was made up of 10 enthusiastic athletes, Stephanie Athanasiadis, Camryn Barrins, Madeleine Chester-Chirskoff, Georgia De Marchi, Summer Gillard, Naomi Hage, Noella Hage, Claire Harvey, Charlie Mitchell and Elizabeth Wastie.

This netball season has been a great season for the SCC Junior Netball team. The whole team has worked so hard all season. Although we didn’t make it to the finals, we are all proud of our achievements. Every week we had our 7:30am training, and all the girls constantly showed up. We trained alongside the intermediate team (although they almost always won our practice games). Everyone had so much fun, even Mr Martin joined us some weeks! We put a lot of hard work into our training sessions. The extra time together brought us closer together as a team. We worked even better, together on the court! Each week was an improvement of the last and we all became stronger players. Each and every team member held the qualities of sportsmanship and kindness. There was not one drama amongst the team. We had a lot of fun with each other and worked incredibly well as a team. We were, and still are good friends and enjoyed working with each other to victory.

Our coach, Ms Beard has been a major help throughout the season and helped us towards our success. She was always with us through all our losses, and celebrated with us all our wins. On behalf of the team I would like to thank her for all the effort she put into our team, we are all incredibly grateful to her.

Noella Hage Year 7

IntermediateThe Intermediate Netball team had a very successful season this year, with much to be proud of. It was our first season playing with a combination of Year 8 and Year 9 girls, and the team came together seamlessly, playing together as if they had been playing as a team for years. We had a few early injuries this season, with Charlotte Bulmer and Selena Rowen breaking their foot and finger respectively. Nevertheless, the Intermediates got on with the job of dominating the SCC Netball competition.

Each game was thrilling, and the team spirit and drive was evident on the court every week. Aside from two losses against Bethany and MSJ (the top two teams in the division), we came away with some convincing wins, most notably against Casimir, where the girls defeated them 47-5. It was also pleasing to be congratulated by the coach of MSJ after our narrow loss, on ‘winning’ the second half of the game and the great skill of our players. It was clear this season that MCCP are a force to be reckoned with in the SCC competition, with many established schools taking note of our skill and spirit.

We finished the season in 4th place in a tie with Rosebank and progressed to the Semi-Final on Thursday 22nd June. Unfortunately we were pitted against Bethany, and were missing our Captain/Assistant Coach, Selena Rowen, and our shooter of the season, Nicolette Tsiknis. The girls played with the same determination and joy that they displayed all season, and despite losing the game, the girls’ spirits remained high. It was a pleasure to see the way the girls supported one another and displayed exemplary sportsmanship. Their motivating factor may have been the ice-creams I promised them for a win, but the girls proved themselves to be incredible athletes, with admirable characters and iridescent personalities. Congratulations to the entire team on their effort this season!

Laws governing or relating to the operation of a school require certain information to be collected and disclosed. These include relevant Education Acts, and Public Health and Child Protection laws. 4. Health information about pupils is sensitive information within the terms of the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act. We may ask you to provide medical reports about pupils from time to time. 5. The School from time to time discloses personal and sensitive information to others for administrative and educational purposes, including to facilitate the transfer of a pupil to another school. This includes to other schools, government departments, The Catholic Education Office Sydney, the Catholic Education Commission, the School's local diocese and the parish, Schools within other Dioceses, medical practitioners, and people providing services to the School, including specialist visiting teachers, sports coaches, volunteers and counsellors. 6. Personal information collected from pupils is regularly disclosed to their parents or guardians. 7. The School may store personal information in the 'cloud' which may mean that it resides on servers which are situated outside Australia. 8. The School's Privacy Policy sets out how parents or pupils may seek access to personal information collected about them. However, there will be occasions when access is denied. Such occasions would include where access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, where access may result in a breach of the School's duty of care to the pupil, or where pupils have provided information in confidence. 9. The School Privacy Policy also sets out how you may complain about a breach of privacy and how the School will deal with such a complaint. 10. As you may know the School from time to time engages in fundraising activities. Information received from you may be used to make an appeal to you. It may also be disclosed to organisations that assist in the School's fundraising activities solely for that purpose. We will not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent. Standard Collection Notice
