From the Principal VOLUME NO. 17 – JUNE 13 2017

GAZETTE Dear Parents, students, staff and friends of Rosebank,

While this will be a short teaching week it will be a huge week of learning and celebrating ending with our Sesquicentenary St Benedict Day at St Mary’s Cathedral starting at 10.00 am and to which you are all most welcome. Following Mass and the commissioning of our new student 2017/2018 leaders, the College will also assemble for its 150th anniversary photo in front of the Cathedral. Lunch will then be shared in the Botanic Gardens following which the students and staff will board ferries to be transported up Parramatta River to Canada Bay, as was the mode of transport in the early years.

This program will include the performance of the College commissioned parts of the mass composed by students over the past two years. This will be another great milestone in the celebration of our 150th anniversary. We will be gathering above the remains of Archbishop John Polding the co-founder of the Sisters of God Samaritan and the person who initially purchased the College site at Five Dock 10 years later.

As we witness the complexity of leadership around the world and here in Australia we reflect deeply on the true role of a lead-er. The famous Sufi poet Rumi, once wrote: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” At Polding’s funeral it was said that “His labours were incessant, his zeal unbounded, Protestants as well as Catholics revere him as a saint”.

This support came at great cost. Prior to arriving in Australia, Archbishop Polding held the offices of parish priest, prefect, nov-ice-master and sub-prior at the Monastery. He was proclaimed the first Bishop of New South Wales on 29 June 1834 and was also given the responsibility of looking after New Holland (the rest of mainland Australia) and Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania). On arriving in Sydney, Polding started work ministering to the 20,000 Australian Catholics. He also attended the spiritual needs of prisoners, celebrating Mass and guiding 7000 prisoners in their retreats between 1836 and 1841. Due to the success of these retreats, Polding and his priests were allowed to work with all Catholic prisoners when they first landed in the colony.

Over the 40 years in office Polding worked to create a truly Australian Catholic Church. He was a recognised academic, and fought for the right of people to be educated. He was particularly outspoken regarding the needs and care for our indigenous brothers and sisters. He wanted to see formed locally-born priests, statesmen, lawyers and physicians. Polding also travelled throughout the colony preaching and praying. In one month alone he travelled over 1500 kilometres on horse-back. His final years were spent raising funds to re-build St. Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney, which had been destroyed by fire in 1865. We are deeply indebted to this great visionary and servant of God’s mission. May he be a witness to the leadership desperately needed in today’s world.

I want to congratulate the staff and students who pioneered some STEM (integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) work over the past four weeks. Last Wednesday evening many visitors were inspired by the enthusiasm, engagement, knowledge passion and commitment of our Year 8 students. Students where excited to speak of their learning and under-standings, spoke passionately of their project, were articulate and focussed, welcoming and confident. In a short period of time they had managed to deepen their learning and understanding and demonstrate this learning through artefacts that included creatively and effectively designed interactive web pages as well as 3D models.

I was reminded of Rick Wormeli’s comments in the Association for Middle Level Education magazine last month under the heading of ‘Teaching Students Respon-sibility’. “When something is meaningful, we don’t have to cajole students into doing the task. They’ll work long hours, listen carefully to periodic feedback from classmates and teachers, and do high-quality work. If it’s drudgery, they’ll drag every foot, obstruct every enthusiasm.” We look forward to the next project these learners will pursue.

I also commend the huge number of musicians and singers who performed last Monday evening at the Ensemble Showcase Evening. Visitors delighted in a feast of music as 96 performers in an assortment of ensembles including Choir, Con-cert Band, Jazz Band, Orchestra, String Orchestra, String Quartet and Stringettes entertained us for two hours. The repertoire included wonderful classical pieces of Shubert, Rimsky-Korsakov, Vivaldi and Strauss, Jazz pieces by Stevens (Hawaii Five-O theme) and Garland (In The Mood) as well as more contemporary pieces of Bob Dylan’s Make You Feel My Love and Prince in concert, eighties flashback and music from Star Wars finishing with the extravaganza involving all performers with “Sing”. A huge and successful effort by all.

Hope to see many of you on Friday.

From The Assistant PrincipalOur home is the first school for our children and we parents are powerful models. What we say and do, is recorded by our children, and possibly used as evidence against us if we are seen to be inconsistent in our expectations of them yet fail to have an equal expectation of ourselves. Because we are the main caregivers, we provide the major influence on our children’s lives. We constantly demand respect from our children but it is not something that we should take for granted. Like most things of real value, respect has to be earned. The best way for us to earn respect is to give respect.It is not easy to be a model for another human being but it is a big part of every parent’s role. There is a saying that, “Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been”. Hopefully that will be the explanation for our wrinkles as our time as a role model gives way to our children making their own grown-up choices and, perhaps, taking upon themselves the mantle of role model.As parents we provide children with a basic “road map” for navigating through life by equipping them with a variety of skills, beliefs, attitudes and most importantly values. We know that children need praise, encouragement and kind words to strengthen their self image and to make them feel that they are important members of our family and community. Just as important is their willingness to understand that they need to obey, that no means NO and that they will receive all they need and a conservative amount of those things they want.

Parenting is a balancing act with common sense as a good yardstick.

From The Dean of MissionBenedict Day On Friday Rosebank will travel to St Mary’s Cathedral to join with Bishop Terry Brady in celebrating the feast of St Benedict in

this our 150th year. The cathedral is the mother church of every diocese, but St Mary’s holds a special place for Australian Catholics as the “mother church” of the whole country. Founded in 1819 in an era when Anglicans had “churches” and Catholics had “chapels”, the early St Mary’s stood in an area bordered by the convict-tended Governor’s gardens and the race track that is now Hyde Park. Governor Macquarie allowed the Catholic community to build on a patch of land that the colonial administration considered effective-ly waste land. By the time John Bede Polding arrived in Sydney in 1835 the town had grown considerably and the little Chapel became the Cathedral Church of Bishop Polding. Seven years later Pope Gregory XVI “raised” Syd-ney to the “dignity” of an archdiocese and Polding as its Archbishop. In 1845 Archbishop Polding and the other Australian bishops declared St Mary Help of Christians as patron of Australia and patron of the Cathedral.

The original St Mary’s was destroyed by fire in 1865, just before Rosebank was founded. Undeterred Archbishop Polding set about building a new cathedral. Traditionally bishops are buried in their cathedrals, but at the time of his death in 1877 there was no burial place, or crypt, in the new St Mary’s and the Archbishop was first buried in Petersham cemetery. He was finally laid to rest in his cathedral in 1901.

Polding’s tomb lies directly beneath the nave of St Mary’s where the school will be gathered on Friday. Next to Polding lies his successor, Archbishop

Roger Bede Vaughan. It is a wonderful link to the founding era of the school and the event we will mark – 150 years of Good Samaritan Benedictine education.

Sesquicentenaries are events of great moment. They are invitations to remember the past with gratitude, to live in the present with honest realism, and look forward to the future with hope. Celebrating this event in the Cathedral Church of the diocese links Rosebank to its past, through the presence of the two Benedictine Archbishops of Sydney. And celebrating the feast of St Benedict in the Cathedral brings us into a greater communion with the whole Benedictine family around the world. And celebrating Eucharist in St Mary’s with Bishop Terry joins us with the whole Christian family as we express our “communion”, community with all the baptised.

So many people have worked long and hard to bring about this day of celebration. The 150th Anniversary Music Project worked with the CAPA department and was responsible for the beautiful Missa Sursum Corda specially composed for the Mass. College dance and movement classes have also contributed to the Liturgy reminding us that we worship with our whole bodies and in the beauty of stylized movement we are invited to feel the divine in a similar way to music. I am delighted to honour my col-leagues in CAPA for their musical talents generously given, and their ability to inspire wonderful music and singing. Our serving team have been training to work in the Cathedral sanctuary and have shown serious dedication and commitment to this ministry.

Across Rosebank teachers and students, support staff and leadership team have been working hard to make Friday a day of his-torical and liturgical significance. Our prayer and worship at St Mary’s is possible because of much goodness and good will. In Chapter 48 of the Rule, Benedict speaks of the daily work of the community and urges moderation in all things. When the community members are engaged in the work best suited to them, all working under the leadership of their Abbot or Abbess, there is communion, stability and common purpose. This Benedict Day I feel that Rosebank has been living Chapter 48 in such a way that Friday will truly be a day of blessing for the feast of that man of blessing, Benedict our spiritual father and guide.

To all our extended Rosebank family a very happy and blessed St Benedict’s day! And in all things, may God be glorified.

Dr Paul O’Shea Dean of Mission

CurriculumCAPA Ensembles Showcase 2017

On Tuesday 6 June, Rosebank College held its first Ensembles Showcase. This event will become an annual showcase, providing students in the various music ensembles the opportunity to per-form to their invited guests.

Our music ensembles have for a long time contributed greatly to the College through their performances at events such as Ferragosto, Presentation Night as well as the service they give towards College Masses and Liturgies. However, this night was about them. A chance for them to perform the music that they enjoy learning and performing and with the focus of attention purely on them and their talents in music making.

The evening was a success with outstanding performances from all of our ensembles. These included our newest ensemble, the Stringettes, (students who only began learning their instru-

ments during the Year 7 Instrument program) as well as pieces by the String Orchestra, Sting Quartet, Jazz Band, Concert Band, Orchestra and Choir.

The Ensembles Showcase was also an important event as it marked the begin-ning of the new extracurricular awards scheme. The music ensemble students became the first at the College to re-ceive pins recognising their commitment and service to learning beyond the ac-ademic classroom through involvement in extracurricular ensembles, teams or clubs. These students can now proudly wear their pins that acknowledge their effort and involvement.

We look forward to the continued growth of our music ensembles and the development of this event as their annual showcase.

Mr Justyn Ambrose CAPA Coordinator

Year 7 MusicLast week the Year 7 students went with their music classes to see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Seymour Centre. We gathered in a small auditorium with a few other schools and listened to a group of musicians and percussionists play their instru-ments for us. We learnt what instruments played the theme songs for shows like Star Wars and Harry Potter and we listened to a percussionist play a typewriter. It was inspiring and amazing to watch and we learned some of the signs the conductor uses while conducting the orchestra. It was an amazing opportunity for all of the students involved and I’m sure lots of people went home to see what other household objects could be played.Raven Hasse, Year 7

Today in Food Technology we made Raspberry Danishes and Sushi. Ms Di Marco taught us pastry folding techniques. This enabled us to create different designs with the pastry, such as a flower, braid, a wind mill plus many more. With the Danishes we made pretty designs with the puff pastry and filled it with a fluffy zesty crème cheese filling, then topped with delicious raspberries. During this lesson we also learnt how to make sushi; we placed rice with a sushi seasoning onto a rolling mat, then placed toppings of our choice on top of the rice then rolled it up. We filled our sushi with carrot, cucumber, avocado and chicken. It was nice to explore other cuisines especially Japanese. The dishes made today were thoroughly enjoyed by the class.
