Issue 9 -Calling 24 march 2011

Dear Members of the St Patrick’s Family, The term is rapidly coming to an end. Students in Years 11 and 12 have commenced their exam block whilst the students in the other Year levels are finalizing their assignments and preparing for their exams. A reminder to parents that Term 1 reports will be sent home over the Easter holidays. Last Friday, the College celebrated its St Patrick’s Day liturgy, followed by the Great Morven Race. Both events were great successes with over 200 boys competing in the Morven Race. The liturgy was again led by Father Liam, however, a past student, Matthew Martin (Year 12 2003), also spoke after the Mass. Matthew spoke to the students about the fundraising he is doing to support a young Kenyan girl called Silvia. She was severely burnt as a baby and has lost an arm and a leg and is in desperate need for surgery. Matthew is raising funds from our Green and Gold Day, and other donations collected on Friday will be donated to Matthew’s appeal. Last weekend the AIC and CIC cricket and volleyball season’s finished. Congratulations to all players and coaches for a successful season. Premierships were gained by the U13A, 16A Volleyball sides whilst the 5A cricket team remained undefeated for the season. I also wish to congratulate the 1st X1 cricket team who were placed 2nd overall. They won 5 out of 6 games during the season and I believe that this is the best result a St Patrick’s College 1st X1 cricket team has achieved in AIC. Well done to the coach, Mr Don Ryan, and to the players. This coming weekend sees rugby and soccer trials begin. There are trials over the next couple of weeks with the AIC and CIC rugby and soccer seasons commencing in Term 2. This week the College hosted Indigenous artist Arthur Conlon. He worked with students across a number of different year levels as part of their Arts curriculum and the College’s approach to Reconciliation. Some of the artwork produced will be displayed around the College over the coming weeks. An email was sent to all families last week pertaining to sponsorship of Confraternity 2012. This tournament will form part of our 60 year celebrations. Any support given will be greatly appreciated. Please pass on the details of the email to family members, business associates and old boys that you think may be interested and may be able to be of assistance. Finally this week the CLT continue to meet many new families at the Year 5 and Year 8 2013 enrolment interviews. The future of St Patrick’s College is in good hands with the calibre of young men and their families. I regularly hear from these families that our current parents and students continue to share their positive stories about St Patrick’s College. Thank you for your support. God Bless

GREAT MORVEN RACE As part of our St Patrick’s Day celebrations last week we conducted the annual Great Morven Race. "Morven", the central building of our campus, was constructed in 1864 as home for one of Queensland's first Parliamentarians, Mr John McDonnell. From 1890 to 1910 "Morven" was the official summer residence for the Governor of Queensland, Sir Henry Wylie Norman. In 1951, Father O'Rourke, parish priest of Sandgate purchased "Morven" with the intent of beginning a school for boys. Today it still sits majestically overlooking Moreton Bay. This year over 200 boys ran in four different age groups around Morven. The results were as follows: Junior Race – Years 5 - 6

Middle Race – Years 7-9

Senior Race – Years 10 -11

In trying to describe my time in India I could explain our itinerary and nearly 4 weeks of amazing activi-ties 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…. An Australian Hip-Hop artist and Bra Boy by the name of Kid Mac once said "We've got to learn our-selves, before we judge someone else". This one statement became amazingly true for me in India. The people I met, the things I experienced and the stories I have forever, were and still are amazing and remind me everyday to live life to the fullest. The day we visited Loretto Cieldah, I met a young girl who told me her name was Rinky. I was surprised by how well she spoke English, and she continued to explain to me that her family used to live in Canada, but her father decided that moving to India would be good, so they moved to India. It was shortly after their arrival in India that her parents fell ill, and could not take proper care of themselves, let alone her. She becomes homeless and was taken in by the Rainbow Child family and given an education. When I was with her, it was as if none of this had happened, she smiled, laughed and played like any Australian child, but she had a life that was harder then most. For me this was an amazing moment in my life. I feel that I learnt more about myself rather than Rinky, in the way that I've had a great life, as most of us do. We need to start living for what we have, cherishing these moments, rather than bringing down the mood.

Chris Campbell—Assistant Principal Curriculum

Last week I wrote about the requirements regarding students exercising their capacity to print at school . On Tuesday I had an opportunity to speak at Assembly to the Year 5-10 students about the topic of printing assignments. Some of the points I made are worth revisiting. By far the preferred option when it comes to the printing of assignments is for them to be done at home. It is highly impractical for students to wait until either before school or at lunchtime on the day the assignment is due. There was a situation last week where a Year 8 assignment was due in the lesson after lunch. A problem arose when over 100 boys went to the library at lunchtime to print the assignment. We simply did not have the capacity to print this many assignments in such a short time span.

Although the netbooks used in Years 7-9 do not print directly to home printers, it is still a better option for printing to be done before the boys come to school. When the work is completed Year 7-9 students are able to save work onto a USB (this function must be carried out at home). Then transferred onto a home computer, which is connected to a printer. The College encourages all families to ensure that they have a home printer. We feel that such a resource is a very necessary expense if students are wanting to maximise their potential for academic success. Our best case scenario is that boys arrive at school on the day assignments are due with the work printed in hard copy, ready to submit. It is not the best organisation if students are still looking to print on the

day. In previous articles I have written about the College assignment policy, which requires boys to submit their task on specified day and lesson. To be consistent it is important that this policy be applied at all times. Hence, if a student was unable to submit his assignment as a hard copy at the correct time, even though he attempted to print the work in the library, it would be considered late. Good luck to all students throughout the current exam block. A reminder to all Year 11 students only, who missed the literacy and numeracy tests on the day of the AIC swimming carnival, these tasks will be made up on Wednesday 30 March.

NEXT STEP 2011 The Queensland Government will again be conducting its annual state wide destination survey of all students who completed Year 12 in 2010. The Next Step survey is a brief confidential survey that aims to gain a comprehensive picture of the employment, study and life choices made by Queensland school completers. Any person who completed Year 12 last year can expect to receive a telephone call or in-structions to complete a web-based survey, between March and May 2011. Please encour-age them to take part. If their contact details have changed, please assist the interviewer with their updated details or forward the survey to their new address so they can participate in the survey. Thank you for your support of the Next Step survey in 2011. For more information visit www.education.qld.gov.au/nextstep/ or telephone toll free on 1800 068 587.

Cyber Bullying The increased use of technology in our society has brought about new opportunities for bullying. Cyber Bullying is a form of bullying which is carried out through an Internet service such as email, chat room, Facebook, discussion groups, instant messaging or web pages. It can also include bullying through mobile phone technologies such as SMS. It is important parents are aware of these possible forms of bullying, monitor them and follow up any particular cases. Our school policy on bullying applies for both offline and online bullying. Anyone can be bullied online and the bully can act anonymously if he or she desires. Examples of Cyber Bullying include teasing and being made fun of; spreading of rumours online; sending unwanted messages and defamation. To help protect your son from Cyber Bullies use the following techniques. Develop clear communication with children about Cyber Bullying issues. Let them know it is all right to discuss any problems they have. Investigate the different services that

children use on the Internet and the potential ways that Cyber Bullying can occur. Monitor who your son ‘chats’ to online and what is written Watch out for any behaviour changes with children especially related to online activity. Talk to your ISP about what "take down" policies they have for inappropriate materials that may be posted by Cyber Bullies. I would like to encourage all parents to regularly check their son’s mobile phone and computer. These technologies are a significant source of inappropriate messages, images and texts. It is important that boys are aware their parents will be involved in monitoring information coming in and out of their phones and computers. Blazer A reminder that all boys in Years 10, 11 and 12 will be required to wear long trousers and their blazers to and from

school during Term 2 and 3. In preparation for this I ask that if dry cleaning of Blazers is required, that this is done over the next couple of weeks for the commencement of Term 2. Long trousers are available at the Uniform Shop.

Public Transport St Patrick’s is a great school but it can be let down in its public image if students are poorly behaved on public transport. The College will not tolerate poor behaviour on public transport. Students misbehaving in this area will face a range of consequences as a result of their actions.

Last Day of Term All students will be dismissed at 12.30 pm on Friday, 8 April. It is expected that all students attend school until 12.30 pm. Students will commence the day with an Easter liturgy followed by the Shore to Gate.

CREATING HEALTHY CHILDREN

Watching our kids at lunch time tells us that kids like to be active. Physical activity is important for healthy growth and develop-ment. It also increases social skills and friendship skills, as well as improving mental health and wellbeing. The earlier we involve kids in physical activity the more likely it will become a part of everyday life.

We now know that:

Children need at least 60 minutes to several hours of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day

Spending more than two hours a day using electronic media (TV, computer, internet) is unhealthy and detrimental to a child’s wellbeing.

The type of activity undertaken is important.

Moderate activity will be equal in intensity to a brisk walk, or a bike ride

Vigorous activities will make kids `huff and puff’ eg. football, soccer, running, swimming laps.

But any activity that sees your child expend energy is good!

Getting your lethargic child into sport may take some effort. Here are some tips:

Offer organised sport (team game) or some sporting activity you and they could do together (eg. play football in the park, biking, walking).

Begin with moderate intensity activity – say 30 minutes per day and steadily increase time and vigour

Make it fun for both of you – while you both get fit together

Use firm love to turn off the electronic devices

Moderate the amount of food eaten – putting on weight is mostly to do with An imbalance of calories and exercise ie. food intake being more than energy output Increase the amount of healthy nutritious foods We all want our kids to be healthy and happy. Healthy and happy kids are more likely to live life to the fullest. Isn’t that what we want for all our children? (Adapted from Active Kids are Healthy Kids – Aust Govt Dept of Health and Aging)

Today is National “Close the Gap” Day. It is a day when we are reminded that we live in a country which still has much to do in terms of achieving justice and equality for the entirety of our population. Some facts: Currently, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a life

expectancy 17 years less than other Australians. Indigenous children are dying at more than double the rate of non-

Indigenous children. An Indigenous baby is three times more likely to die before his/her

first birthday than a non-Indigenous baby. Many Indigenous people suffer chronic diseases which are entirely

preventable and have virtually been eliminated in the non-Indigenous population.

Access to primary healthcare remains extremely poor. Clearly, this is unacceptable. However, the positive news is that this is a problem which can be solved. In fact, in order to solve the problem, we do not need new technology; we do not need more knowledge; we do not need to perform more research. Simply, we need the resolve, the insight, the pas-sion and the public support. At the turn of the 19th century, Edmund Rice recognised the needs of the poor within his community and worked to address those needs. At first, he had little support, and in fact, many thought his endeavours would die with him. Today, Edmund Rice’s legacy can be seen throughout the world, as Christian Brothers and lay people work every day to address the needs of the poor and the marginalised. As members of a Catholic school community in the Edmund Rice tradition, it is incumbent upon us to follow this legacy, and I contend that today in Australia, the inequality and injustice that exist in Indigenous health is an area we must help to address. So, how do we respond? I encourage you to try to do at least one of the fol-lowing in the coming days: Visit www.closethegap.com.au Find out more from www.caritas.org.au or www.oxfam.org.au Visit www.oxfam.org.au and sign up to Oxfam Australia's pledge

Join the Facebook Close The Gap group and post relevant news on the Wall

Sign GetUp!'s petition at www.getup.org.au

Get some postcards, stickers, posters, wrist bands and t-shirts and use them to spread the word – go to www.oxfam.org.au or an Oxfam Shop to have a look.

Donate to one of the organisations that have signed up to the campaign, including Oxfam Australia, Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council, Australian Indigenous Doctors Association, Australian General Practice Net-work, Australian Red Cross, Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation, Caritas Australia, Congress of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Nurses, Fred Hollows Foundation, Make Indigenous Poverty History campaign, Oxfam Australia, Reconciliation Australia, Save the Children Australia, UNICEF Australia.

Together, we can close the gap and end the Indigenous health crisis.

SPORTING WET WEATHER PROCEDURES The College provides you the following option when dealing with wet weather or cancellations: Junior and Secondary Sports Information Line is 3631 9080. This line is ‘live’ and will be updated as often as required. Decisions on training status (poor weather) will be made at 2.00pm (training days). Please check for the status of training or weekend sport as often as possible. For Saturday sport, the line will be amended by 7.00 am after consultation with opposition school sports masters and college grounds staff. It is asked that all parents firstly use the Sports Information Line to obtain any ‘up to date’ changes on training and game status. We ask that you contact the College’s Student Office or Main Office only if the matter is urgent. RUGBY AND FOOTBALL: E-MAILING OF INFORMATION This year we are hoping to disseminate both Rugby and Football information via e-mail. This means that any student who is playing or has signed up for either SPC Rugby or SPC Football will be sent information (when needed) to both his student e-mail address and his parents e-mail address. This is so that we can ensure that all necessary information is communicated to both players and their parents. We ask that parents please check with their son/s regarding this method of communication. Should you not be receiving any information over the coming weeks to your nominated e-mail address, we ask that you contact Mrs Donna Day (SPC Sport Administration Assistant) during College business hours. RUGBY AND FOOTBALL: DOWNLANDS COLLEGE TRIAL –SATURDAY 2 APRIL All students playing rugby and football who wish to travel to Downlands on College provided buses MUST place their name on the bus lists provided in the Student Office.

DEBATING This week was a particularly big week for SPC Debating as our Year 8’s made their QDU debut. The boys in Team 2 put in an admirable first time performance, to only narrowly be defeated by just 1 point. Of particular mention was Matthew Southwell, who gave a very impressive first attempt at rebuttal. He’ll be a debater to keep our eyes on! A huge thank you to the Debating Fanatics who have attended a debate every week – Joe Williams, Doug Howieson, Jordan Budgen and Mack Budgen. Their support and commitment has been inspiring. Next week will be a busy week for the debaters with 4 debates at St Paul’s, Strathpine. Round 2 will begin with our Firsts and our Year 10’s in action at 7pm. Our postponed Year 8 Team 1 debate will also begin at 7pm. Our Se-conds will finish the night at 8.15pm. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

It would be advisable to purchase these sooner rather later as 260 students all deciding to purchase these in the last week of Term 1 would be a logistical nightmare. Your cooperation in this regard would be appreciated. Thank you to those who have already purchased trousers and blazers. BLAZERS ORDERED – A number of these have already arrived so please check if your son’s is here and available on balance of payment.

MUSICAL ACCESSORIES — are available at the uniform shop during regular trading hours

MOUTHGUARDS – These are for sale @ $6.50 each
