Pope Francis in his homily, on the recent Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, referred to the day when man set foot on the moon. He recalled the phrase that became famous: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. He went on to explain that in essence, humanity had reached a historical goal. But Pope Francis explained that, in Mary’s Assumption into Heaven, we celebrate an infinitely greater conquest.
He further explained that, "With God, nothing is lost! In Mary, the goal has been reached and we have before our eyes the reasons why we journey: not to gain the things here below, which vanish, but to achieve the homeland above, which is forever. And Our Lady is the star that guides us. She went there first. She, as the Council teaches, shines “as a sign of sure hope and solace to the People of God during its sojourn on earth” (Lumen gentium, 68).
On Sunday in the Gospel the first thing Mary says is: “My soul magnifies the Lord” (Lk 1:46). We have often become used to hearing these words, and we possibly, no longer pay close attention to their meaning. Pope Francis says; "To 'magnify' literally means 'to make great', to enlarge. Mary 'aggrandises' the Lord, not problems, which she did not lack at the time, but the Lord. How often, instead, we let ourselves be overwhelmed by difficulties and absorbed by fears! Our Lady does not, because she puts God as the first greatness of life. From here the Magnificat springs forth; from here joy is born not from the absence of problems, which come sooner or later, but joy is born from the presence of God who helps us, who is near us. Because God is great. And, above all, God looks on the lowly ones. We are His weakness of love: God looks on and loves the lowly".
During these current challenging times of COVID-19, we are reminded in Pope Francis words to ask ourselves - do we remember to praise God? Do we thank Him for the great things He does for us? For every day that He gives us? Because He always loves us and forgives us, for His tenderness?
Pope Francis further explained that, if we forget the good, our hearts shrink. But if, like Mary, we remember the great things that the Lord does, if at least once a day we were to “magnify” Him, then we would take a great step forward. He reminds us to at least one time during the day to say: “I praise the Lord”, to say, “Blessed be the Lord”, which is a short prayer of praise. This is praising God. With this short prayer, our hearts will expand, joy will increase. Let us ask Our Lady, the Gate of Heaven, for the grace to begin each day by raising our eyes to Heaven, toward God, to say to Him: "Thank you!”.
Let us invoke Mary's intercession for all the situations in the world that are most in need of hope for peace and justice and for the courage to live a dignified life.
Wellness Day and Remote Learning
I am sure you will agree that the start of Term 3 has again been challenging for all of us. Staff and students have coped extremely well under very difficult circumstances and have worked diligently to ensure the return to remote learning has been a success. However, current studies are showing that the pace and scope of the change to remote learning, has also been very demanding and tiring for some. After five weeks of very busy schedules, on Friday, 21 August, we held our second remote learning Wellness day. This day provided staff and students the opportunity to take some additional time to focus on their overall health and wellbeing and to rest, refresh and re-energise for the next period of remote learning.
We have achieved outstanding attendance rates, with 97% of students attending their scheduled remote learning classes since the start of Term 3. This is an exceptional result and a credit to our students, staff and also our families. The key now is to continue to attend all scheduled lessons this week and to ensure all set work is completed.
While it is impossible to predict how long we will be required to operate in Remote Learning Mode, the Leadership team is planning for a sustained Term 3 delivery, should it be the case. We are currently awaiting further advice from the Victorian Government and the Chief Medical Officer regarding a possible return date for on-site learning.
Once again, I would like to congratulate our students, staff and families for the manner in which they have entered into this unique period of time and for their on-going commitment to remote learning.
Future Directions
The College, as part of its vision and mission, aims to provide excellence in learning. This will be supported by ongoing development and upgrading of College buildings, grounds and facilities.
Some exciting news is that work is well underway on the new Year 9 Learning Centre. This centre will be a great inclusion for our community and students
will reap the rewards of this state of the art facility. This building will host nine homerooms, as well as two large collaborative learning spaces and numerous staff offices. The building and other new facilities recently opened at the College provide a rich and stimulating learning environment for all our students to flourish and reach their full potential. The Year 9 Learning Centre should be completed ready for the start of the 2021 school year.

Uganda Project
We continue to build on the very positive relationships that has been established between CRC Caroline Springs and St Luke’s parish as well as our sister school St Francis primary school in Kizinga Uganda.
By reaching out in friendship and solidarity with the community of St Francis, Kizinga we have given hope to hundreds of children and their families who otherwise couldn’t access education. The support of our students has enabled the construction and furnishing of a brick classroom; a food program; the refurbishment of the church with a concrete floor; and soon the installation of water tanks.
Compassion, empathy and love for one another are the cornerstones of our teaching at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs and we are immensely proud of our community for continuing to embrace the Uganda Project.
Vocations
Two weeks ago, we celebrated National Vocations Awareness Week. A time to remind us of the need to pray, to discern God's call for our lives and our vocation (married life, religious life or single life).
Who God is calling us to be? Why am I here? What does my life mean? are all deeply human questions we constantly ask ourselves. During these times the question of purpose is more relevant than ever. Many people in our society have unfortunately been led to believe that they have no purpose in their lives; our faith tells us something different we have a meaning and a purpose that God intends only for you “I know well the plans I have in mind for you…to give you a future full of hope” (Jer 29:11-15).
Our Year 10 students have had the opportunity to explore their ‘calling’ in their Religious Education classes. Traditionally, we have welcomed Fr Richard and the religious such as the LIHM, MGL and Dominican Sisters to share their vocation stories with the cohort. Due to the current circumstances of remote learning this was not able to occur. However, thanks to the use of technology and dedication of Fr Richard (Parish Priest of St Catherine of Siena, Caroline Springs and Seminarians Tien and Nicolas (Seminarian, Corpus Christi College), Sr Lawrence (LIHM Sister) and Sr Ayanthi (MGL Sister) our students were able to share in the joy of their vocation journeys. We thank God for their religious vocations and ask Him to continue to grant them the grace to continue to serve our community.
St John Henry Newman has a helpful answer to the questions of: ‘Where is God leading me, why, and for what reason? Do I have a part to play in life?’

We think it’s pretty safe to say that minus the current pandemic going on in the outside world, the main focus of our year 10s these past few weeks has been subject selection transition to Sydenham. With some 80 subjects to choose from, it initially seemed impossible to make the right choices!
For those who don’t know, Pathways is a Year 10 core subject aimed at preparing students for their future careers after school, and pointing us in the right direction. Throughout the entirety of the unit, we have taken part in multiple beneficial activities which have been designed to help us with the realities of life. To name a few, these include writing up resumes, cover letters and mock interviews to prepare us for the real deal.
Another aspect of pathways include assisting in our transition to the Sydenham campus to complete year 11 and 12. Things like subject selection and what pathway we are looking to pursue, whether it be through VET, VCAL or VCE are all forms of research we looked into to make sure we do have a career that we love in the future.
In the past term, our central focus has been Subject Selection for year 11. At first it seemed quite daunting. There are a variety of Learning Areas that a person can choose from, such as Humanities, Visual & Performing Arts, and Science to name a few. Thankfully with the help of our incredible Pathways teachers we were all able to successfully complete our interviews for subject selection last week, and select the subjects we believe are right for our future at Sydenham.
The key messages we have been able to gain from our last few Pathways classes about subject selection has been the following:
Well into our second round of lockdown, students have been able to make the most of it by utilizing MS Teams. With cameras on, and making the most of our time at home by making each other laugh, is a good way to describe classes with Ms Petko in 10CO! The use of MS Teams allows us to maintain a sense of connectedness with our classmates, and makes us feel just that bit less alone during this time. Just being able to see a friendly face makes all the difference and has definitely enhanced our learning remotely!
We wanted to finish up by mentioning a special thank you to Mr Ray and all our year 10 Pathway teachers who have worked tirelessly to make sure that we are making the best possible decisions in the coming years. Thank you.
The virtual choir are back for Term 3 and presenting their rendition of We Are Australian (by The Seekers). We are so lucky to have committed students still engaging in the arts community and sharing their talents with us. In challenging times, it is important we keep doing the things we love, so I am so blessed to facilitate these performances to keep our students singing. Although I dearly miss our lunchtime practice, it is excellent we can use the internet to keep us connected! If you wish to join the choir or the instrumental program, please direct message any of the music teachers and we can get you started on your musical journey. Enrolments are always open and welcome!
We hope you enjoy the performance.

“The blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the Church.” – Tertullian. The sacrifice of these valiant individuals is what allowed the Church to grow and flourish. Their absolute faith in God demonstrated what true love was, something that others desired. With each persecution of a Christian, two more were baptised, building the Kingdom of God.
While learning about the Martyrs, I couldn’t wrap my head around how these people had the fortitude to undergo such anguish and suffer death for their faith. How they were so strong that they were able to forgive those persecuting them, praying that they are shown mercy by God and that they stumble upon His grace.
However, upon further investigation, I realised that they had a true faith in God. Faith is the complete trust and confidence in something. They didn’t doubt God’s existence. These brave Christians had such strong faith in God’s existence and His plan for them that they weren’t afraid of death, as they knew it was ultimately what God wanted for them. The Martyrs celebrated their deaths, as they knew it would bring them closer to God, and they would be walking in the footsteps of their saviour: Jesus Christ. For their fortitude, God rewarded them with eternal truth, eternal beauty, eternal love and eternal salvation: Heaven.
The immense faith of the Martyrs is what defines their pivotal role in the story of Christianity.

The stadium filled with anger and screams as he (Saint Bartholomew) was being pinned onto a tree. I watched as the sword entered the skin of the arm. Blood was everywhere and he was screaming in pain. It felt so good seeing the people I hate disappear from the world. The sword started ripping the skin slowly so he (St. Bartholomew) could feel the pain he deserves. The whole stadium was cheering and shouting “Get him!” “Get what you deserve!” The sword had reached the chest moving a centimetre a second. Something strange was happening, I could see him muttering some words which ever so slightly was getting louder and louder as he was pointing his head towards the clouds. This muttering of words continued for a minute like he was saying some kind of prayer. By now the sword had finally skinned the torso and was making its way to the left arm. I felt disappointed by the fact that he wasn’t screaming in pain anymore. I could see the pile of skin being fed to the animals. The sword had now skinned all of the arms and legs and finally, his mouth stopped muttering and his head fell onto the ground. The crowd was cheering louder than ever before. He (Saint Bartholomew) had passed.

As St Peter cried in agony, he still worshiped the Lord: “Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.” As St Peter continued praying the Rosary, nails were bashed into his hand as blood squirted and seeped out, he was on the cross just as the Romans said he would. Peter requested he would not die the same way as the Lord, as he was no match for the Lord. They flipped him over as he continued to whimper, now blood from his feet trickled down his legs, passed his chest and dripped off of St Peter's head into a bowl which was placed in order to clean up his mess. As the Romans talked and cackled, St Peter faded into the light where he saw the Lord once again.

A collection of imaginative drawings from Years 7 and 8 in stage 4 lockdown.
This was the stimulus I provided for an imaginative artwork for Years 7 and 8 during their recent art classes:
This is a creative piece of artwork where you can let your imagination go wild!!!!!!!
‘As we are all in isolation at the moment, think of where you would rather be.
The images inside your glasses will reflect this thought visually.’
As much as I can during remote learning, I would like the creative art classes to remain as hands on and practical as possible, and provide a much-needed break from their laptop screen.
Enjoy the selection of highly imaginative drawings created by our students!
Over 2000 books and 800 audio books are now available for students to use. These can be accessed via the Library Portal on Seqta. When students click on the blue Wheelers e-books icon, they can then view books in the "Library" or "Browse" tabs. From there they choose "borrow" or "reserve" (if the book is currently on loan.) Students can also download an app to read or listen on their laptop without using the internet, or on their phone. (Please remember that phones are not permitted whilst at school.) Another useful feature is that students can customise the look of their screen, by choosing the background colour, font, size of text etc. There is also a dyslexia friendly option. Further instructions are on the Library Portal. New books are added every month.
What kind of plastic products are in your bag?
Notre Dame Seishin High school in Japan has been participating in an environmental project called “Everyone’s pride evolution” hosted by Kyoto university.
Four Year 8 students from CRCCS (Ava MF, Ivanka P, Angel Y, Joaquin S) have been participating in this.
To start the project, students have shared how many plastic products they have in their bags, and they would like to compare what kinds of plastic products are in your bag in Australia
In our Physical Education classes this term, students have been choosing a suitable physical activity to participate in each week for at least 50 minutes, as well as completing a reflective journal based on their participation. Here are just some examples of how our students have been active and the reasons for their choices. Students are to be commended on their enthusiasm, self-discipline, determination and initiative.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WA4dDs0T7sM
As part of my physical activity, today I ran 4 kilometres. I chose this because I really enjoy long distance running and the good feeling I get after it. Some other reasons I chose to run are because running is really good for the heart and I try to take care of myself as much as possible and I normally play netball and train around 5 times a week and due to these circumstances, running helps me stay fit for when we get to go back and play again.
I ran around the block of my house for about 1 hr taking breaks every 5 laps and drinking water then getting back into the activity pushing hard. The reasons l chose this today are because it was nice and sunny day, to get my heart rate up and to get out the house.
Today my physical activity was the Tabata workout. This workout was extremely tiring and made me use most of my body parts. I did a lot of stretches and active things that require a lot of energy. Some of the fitness components required included strength, flexibility, power, endurance, balance and coordination. I did burpees, star jumps, running on the spot, jumping high, sit ups, push ups and many more. The main reason why I chose this activity was because I wanted to do something that was out of my comfort zone, it looked so challenging and when I first looked at the video it looked interesting.
Today I did Netball drills/ footwork and passing, high knees over cones, short sharp turn around cones then to figure 8’s then making my way to a rebounder passing the ball with right shoulder passes, switching passes every time passed the obstacles (shoulder passes on both arms, lob, and chest) . I chose to do this today because I’ve been missing netball and will be missing it for the rest of the year. L
I did basketball for my main activity today. I had a lot of fun while doing it as I applied different skills and techniques, like shooting some hoops, dribbling, running with the basketball and doing 1vs1 basketball with my brother. I chose basketball today as my main activity because I would like to practice my basketball skills and to perfect my basketball shooting by shooting from afar.
For the main physical activity, I went on another bike ride. I went around the block a total of 11 times, one warm up lap going slow, and the rest faster. I also went to a nearby park and rode around there and back. I chose this activity because I enjoy going out for bike rides, and I wanted to get some fresh air, and it had been a while since the last ride. I also needed to give my legs a bit of a workout as I have been sitting for majority of the week.
The physical activity we did today was kicking and handballing a football. My brother needed to record himself kicking the football to someone else, so I did that with him. Then, we played a handballing game we made up. One person is handballing the football to themselves, and when they shout, they handball the football to the other person. I chose to play some footy with my brother because we can both bond, get exercise, and have fun during the activity. It’s something we both needed to do today, and this was a fun way to do it.
Today l did 15 Minute of Stretches, 10 Mins Yoga,15 Minute leg workout, 15-minute ab workout, 5-minute cooldown stretches and a walk. I chose these today as I had heard of the benefits of certain exercises and I wanted to do something I don’t normally do like Yoga.
I warmed up for about 5 mins then completed a 30-minute full body workout with the Adidas app. I also played a variety of Just Dance songs with my sisters for about 15-20 minutes, which also acted as a cool down. I felt energetic and wanted to do a workout. My younger sisters enjoy it when I play Just Dance with them. I wanted to dance.
I started with my stretches and a walk as a warm-up, then I got into a bigger run. Using the ‘Nike Run Club App’. I was guided through a 20 minute straight run at a steady pace. I ended up doing 3.1kms straight and was happy with my results and proud with the way I felt at the end. After I had completed the run at 9:45, I started a 30 minute “recovery walk” and arrived home at 10:15. I had a 5 minute rest then got into some passing of the ball in the backyard with my brother from 10:20 until 10:35. I finished with a quick 5 minute intense ab workout and finished at around 10:40 . I chose to do this today because I want to improve on my long-distance running. I felt that doing slower 2-minute intervals weren’t as effective. Every week I want to do a different kind of long-distance run. I also wanted to incorporate a little soccer drill of simple passing to keep up my touch. And finally improve in a bit of core strength with a quick but intense workout. I felt this session was a lot more effective with the necessary breaks and recovery needed to complete this beneficially.
I skipped for roughly 30-40 minutes or until I ran out of breath/energy. I went outside into my backyard and played some music and tried my best to focus on a spot on the wall and skip with my skipping rope so I could maintain a steady pace and stay focused and on track. I chose to do this today because today was a relatively cold day and I didn’t really feel like going out on a run or a bike ride as neither of those activities warm my body up. Also skipping isn’t something I do very often so I really wanted to challenge myself and get a bit better at it while still being outside at the same time.
Today I did 3 three minute rounds of boxing, 3x 15 curl ups, 9kg weights, 40 sit-ups and interval running 5 sets. I chose this because boxing is my passion and I enjoy doing it and it’s good to keep fit and healthy because health is wealth.
For my main activity I practised my basketball dribbling and shooting. For shooting I played around the world and for dribbling I put some cones down and dribbled around them. I chose this because reason I wanted to get better and also so I can get pumped up.
For my main physical activity, I did the Fitness circuit which included things like dynamic squats, military presses, fast swimmers etc. I did this by watching the video and following the examples the person demonstrated. I chose this because it is not too hard but not too easy and was fun to achieve. I also chose this because it worked a lot on my lower back and thighs which was something I wanted to improve.
For my main physical activity, I did the 10-minute skipping video. In it, we were required to do different sorts of skips, the normal ones, shuffle ones, lateral skips, one leg skips, and a few stretches as well. I also added a 1-minute plank, 20 sit-ups and 30 seconds of up and down planks. For my cool down, I did another one of Chloe Ting’s cooldown videos. I chose to do this one today as I was already working on trying to improve my skipping skills and I thought this would benefit me. Another reason for my choice is that I find skipping to be a fun way to do moderate and high-intensity exercises.
I did Rainbow Yoga which included lots of positions that focused on the back. I focused on my posture. I chose Rainbow Yoga because I enjoy yoga and it’s calming nature. Also because I have been going on runs and bike rides for the last few days so yoga is a nice way to stretch out my body after doing such intense exercises.
Today I chose to shoot some hoops outside. I didn’t have anyone to verse, so I just kept tossing the basketball into the hoop from different angles and different lengths away. I also used the wall of my house to do some rebounding and my catching and throwing skills. I did this for 25 - 30 minutes and it was good! I chose this activity because I love basketball and netball, and I want to become better at my passing, catching and throwing skills so I can join the netball team for school. I chose this activity because I really wanted to go outside, even though it was freezing. I wanted to go outside because I’ve been stuck at home, and even though it’s my backyard and I have access to it, I’ve been too lazy to get out of my warm home and exercise.
For my main physical activity today, I decided to practise my soccer skills, I set up some cones on the ground and dribbled the ball through the cones (I used random things for cones). I also did some wall passes, toe touches; quick feet as seen in the soccer example video and kick to kick with my sibling. I don’t play soccer or anything outside of school but I do have the right equipment for it so that was a big reason why I chose this. I also wanted to improve my soccer skills as soccer is a good sport for maintaining health, fitness and strength.
I completed all the Just Dance videos attached to the physical activity suggestions list as well as some of my own Just Dance clips I located on YouTube. I then also went for a walk around my local suburb. I wanted to mainly base my physical activity today on dance, as for one I love to dance and specifically do dance tutorials, but I felt as though today I really needed to move around and release energy, I felt as though doing Yoga wasn’t going to be effective for me today. However, if I did dance I would feel a lot happier and radiate more positively to myself but also to the people around me. The reason why I went for a walk later on was to clear my head and also be outside with nature as I have been inside all day, also to spend some time away from the screens.
