Advent

In the very busy lead up to Christmas, we often miss Advent's power because these December weeks are full of Christmas shopping, parties and other end of year events. Each year, the business of this month serves to distract us from having an Advent season that truly prepares us for the celebration of Christmas, with all its meaning.

This Advent let us all remember; it is the feast that sings of the gift of life. The birth of a child moves us and causes tenderness. It is a stimulus to discover the warmth of simplicity, friendship, and solidarity. Christmas can become an occasion to welcome, as a personal gift, the message of hope that emanates from the mystery of the birth of Christ.

Aquinas Building Opening

On Wednesday 16 November we celebrated the Official Opening and Blessing of the St. Thomas Aquinas building.

The Reverend Father Richard Rosse Parish Priest St Catherine of Siena Parish Caroline Springs, led us in a prayer service and then the official blessing of the Aquinas building. The building was then officially declared opened by the Honourable Brendan O’Connor - Minister for Skills and Training, who addressed the guests and then unveiled the Aquinas building commemorative plaque. We sincerely thank the Honourable Brendan O’Connor for his attendance, and we also thank the Australian Government which under the Capital Grants Program generously allocated a Grant of $1.5 million dollars towards this building project.

St. Thomas Aquinas was born in 1225 at Rocca Sicca, in the territories of Naples in Italy. His family was a noble one.

St Thomas Aquinas is a saint and doctor of the Catholic Church. He has contributed greatly to the philosophy and theology of both secular and the church and developed a reputation of highly academic scholarly writings. St Thomas Aquinas is a model for both laity and clergy. As a priest in the Dominican order he was known for his Christ-like example in word and deed to his fellow Dominicans.

After his death in 1274, Pope John XXII (22nd) canonized him in 1323 and was deemed Patron Saint of Catholic schools and students. He also is known as the Angelic Doctor or the Universal Teacher. We are proud to have named this new building after St Thomas Aquinas

Finally, a special thanks to Reverend Father Richard Rosse, the College Ministry and Administration teams, Maintenance staff and to all staff and students involved in the opening ceremony as readers, musicians, performers and members of the College choir.

College Timetable 2023

As you may be aware, this year the College moved to a new timetable of 5 x 60-minute periods per day. This has been quite well received with regards to the brevity of the lesson, better supporting the ability of the students to remain fully engaged for the entire duration of the lesson. However, based on feedback from staff and students on the 5 lessons per day structure, we have uncovered some issues with the current structure that we are confident can be addressed through refinement of our timetable.

The larger of these issues has highlighted that the 5 lessons in a day structure is difficult for our students to prepare for, and can appear overwhelming both within the day, and throughout the 10-day cycle. Some students have identified that they are unable to adapt to the pace and requirements of needing to focus through five different subjects/content within each day. Additionally, our students highlight the increased pressure on them to complete homework for up to 5 subjects each evening, in preparation for the next day of 5 lessons, which can be overwhelming when considered over a 10-day cycle.

After careful consideration, supported by the feedback from key stakeholders, which has included our College Leadership Team, Teaching Staff, Year 7 to 10 Students, and School Advisory Council, a decision has been made to move to a 4 x 70-minute period day in 2023. This refinement in our timetable is further supported by the changes implemented at CRC Sydenham, which will also be adopting a similar timetable structure for next year.

We thank staff, students and parents who completed the feedback survey on the four possible timetable options for 2023. We can now announce that based on the survey feedback that the timetable for 2023 will be as follows:

Thank you for your feedback and for your on-going support.

College Captains

I would like to thank our 2022 College Captain Ivanka P. Her College Captains address at the whole school assembly and Year 10 Graduation was absolutely outstanding and truly inspiring, as have all of her speeches been this year. She has been an exceptional leader and role model for all students. I also thank our 2022 Deputy College Captains Christina S, Angel Y and Meena B, for their great work as leaders in our school. They have displayed outstanding servant leadership characteristics and have led their peers with energy, passion and enthusiasm. Throughout the year they’ve contributed in a very real and practical way to making our school a great place and in ensuring that students ‘have a voice’ on many issues. I thank them for their time, generosity and willingness to serve our community.

It is with great pleasure that I can now formally acknowledge our School Captains for 2023:

College Captain – Zalaika F

Deputy College Captains – Alyssa D, Charli N, Nyankat D

These students will be formally acknowledged at the investiture ceremony at the start of next year. We eagerly look forward to working with these student leaders in 2023, and we wish them all the best in their roles.

Farewell Year 10s

The Year 10 Graduation Mass and Assembly was held in the College Hall on Thursday 24 November. It was wonderful to again gather as an entire school community on-site with students’ staff and families present.

During this evening we celebrated Liturgy together as a college community and formally acknowledged our Year 10 students who over their four years with us, have been guided by our motto of ‘Live Fully Act Justly’.

I ask our Year 10s to always remember the four relatively simple words of our College motto. Paradoxically these words are also very complex, deep and spiritual. Over their time at the College they would have heard them hundreds, if not thousands of times. These rather unobtrusive four words are truly reflected in their time at the College and we hope they are also forever etched in their mind and more importantly etched in their hearts. At the Liturgy we gathered as a Catholic community to celebrate the wonderful gifts and talents of our students and we formally farewelled our Year 10s. We hope that they take the ‘live fully’ and ‘act justly’ aspect of our motto with them on their next journey and truly achieve fullness of life.

I would also like to wish all the best to our departing, Year 10 students. This group of students is an extraordinary and eclectic group of young men and women, both collectively and individually. They are scholars, athletes, narrators, engineers, musicians, mathematicians, artists, comedians, politicians and men and women of intense faith, devotion and spirituality.

Pope Francis recently said that:

"School not only expands your intellectual dimension, but also the human heart. In a particular way, Catholic schools are attentive to developing human virtues such as loyalty, respect, faithfulness, commitment.

When I look at you our departing Year 10 students, I have a genuine, optimistic hope for your future and for the future of our Catholic church. I feel certain, that your futures are bright, exciting, and positive. Through an active focus on our College motto ‘Live Fully, Act Justly,’ you our students have embraced a community in which faith is a "hands on" experience in which you seek Christ in each other and in the world in which you live.

I would like to thank Father Richard Rosse parish priest at St Catherine of Siena parish for leading us in celebrating Mass and for his significant contribution to our College as the custodian of mission on the School Advisory Board.

Thank you also, to all the staff and students who have been involved in preparing the Year 10 Graduation Liturgy and formal presentations. Firstly, our Head of Faith and Mission Mr Paul Sammut and his Ministry team and Year 10 student leaders for overseeing the Graduation Liturgy. I also thank Head of Music Performance Dr Chris McGillen and Performance and Events Coordinator Ms Katie Franzone for their contributions. Thank you to our Deputy Principal Wellbeing Ms Katie Murray Fawcett, Year Level Leaders Mr Heath Aitken and Mr Xavier Hayes for overseeing a whole team of staff involved in organizing the Graduation ceremony. And a special thank you to the College maintenance and I.T teams who were actively involved in setting up and ensuring that all the technology components of the evening ran smoothly.

Prayer for Advent

Heavenly Father, heal our heart during this season of Advent.

Help us to love more fully. To forgive more generously. To wait more patiently for Christmas, embracing each day and hour knowing the joy that awaits.

In Your name I pray.

Amen.

Advent – Preparing for the Coming of Christ

Advent comes from the Latin word Adventus – meaning the coming. The purpose of the season is to help us focus on the Second Coming of Christ; to take time for prayer, stillness and sacrifice. One way to assist us in our journey through Advent is to contemplate on the image of the nativity.

The image of the nativity reminds us that salvation does not come from above. God speaks as a newborn baby; he is the light that shines through our darkness and brings light on all people “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:14). While he comes as the light of the world, it is important to realise that he chooses to be a humble child, weak and vulnerable, dependent solely on the care of his parents.

In his 2021 Christmas Vigil Homily, Pope Francis reminds us of the need to ask Jesus for the grace of littleness.

“Lord, teach us to love littleness. Help us to understand that littleness is the way to authentic greatness”. What does it mean, concretely, to accept littleness? In the first place, it is to believe that God desires to come into the little things of our life; he wants to inhabit our daily lives, the things we do each day at home, in our families, at school and in the workplace. Amid our ordinary lived experience, he wants to do extraordinary things.”

Let us pray that during this Advent season we may draw closer to Christ and recognise him in all things.

Here at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs we have been so fortunate this year to have a group of committed parents who have come together to form our Parents and Friends Committee for 2022. The impact of COVID in the last two years has meant we have had to start again in so many ways and our parents and friends was no exception. However, so many families were willing to put their hands up and have supported us in helping out on Live Fully Act Justly Day, the Year 7 Testing Day, P and F meetings, feedback on the College and our Christmas dinner. For me personally, the highlight was our cultural dinner where our amazing Iraqi parents cooked traditional dishes for us to enjoy. This committee is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the relationships families have with the College and to meet other families within our community.

A special thanks to our Principal Jamie Madigan for his support, Anthony Zammit and the work he does with a number of our families, and finally to Nrmin Ajem our Multicultural Aide who has gone above and beyond in supporting the committee getting off the ground this year.

We look forward to welcoming new parents in 2023 and collaborating on further initiatives that the P and F can support.

PIA K (Year 8 Level Leader)

Q1. What does servant leadership mean to you?
To me servant leadership means doing everything possible to meet and accommodate the requirements of others and to put others before yourself. As a servant leader, I can prioritise the wants of others to be the voice of the students from our college and make suggestions that would support others and help them to reach their targets.  

Q2. Why did you want to be a part of the 2022 student leadership team?
I wanted to be a part of the 2022 student leadership team because I have always wanted to be a part of making our school an even better place for the students, teachers, and the future students. I also choose to be a part of the student leadership team because I wanted to improve my leadership skills and grow as a leader.  

Q3. What is your role in the leadership team? And what are your responsibilities?
The role I play in the leadership team is a year 8 leader. In this role I play a part in creating/working on proposals with the other leaders, helping in college events, attending meetings every week, assisting in tours for the future students at our college, making student bulletins and working as a team with the leadership team.  

Q4. What is a goal you would like to achieve this year in the leadership team?
I have been a leader for last two years and I feel that I have enhanced my leadership skills as my confidence has increased over time.

I would like to continue sharpening my skills and influence others to either join the leadership team or propose ideas to the leaders for making our school community even better place where everyone feels safe and happy.  

Q5. What is the legacy you wish to leave behind?
I wish to leave behind a legacy that anything is possible to achieve if you work together in harmony.

There are a lot of good proposals the students from the leadership team are planning and trying to put into action, but the one I am very passionate is the CRCCS movie nights proposal. This is because it would give the students a different setting to come together and enjoy each other’s company while watching a movie.

Mihini R (Year 8 Level Leader)

Q1. What does servant leadership mean to you?
To me, servant leadership implies that leaders consider serving the common good. People who demonstrate this put their team and organisation first. We take priority others goals as well as our own. In a servant leadership environment, we are more likely to believe that our voices must be heard so we can and a big change for the school and for others around us.  

Q2. Why did you want to be a part of the 2022 student leadership team?
I wanted to join leadership is because l can interact and work with connect many year level leaders and situations as a student leader.

I wanted to form stronger bonds with everyone in the student leadership group. In all situations, learn to collaborate and cooperate with others. l also wants try to be braver when conversing with someone.  

Q5. What is the legacy you wish to leave behind?
My leadership legacy is to establish how you build, create, grow, and are remembered. From within and taken charge from someone new who can learn from it. Leaving a leadership legacy does not imply leaving something for future generations. It is leaving something in people that can change someone else and create strong bonds with others.

Japanese Hosting Link

“In late September, we had the pleasure of welcoming four exchange students from Toyo High School in Japan: Moeka, Hijiri, Hinano and Marin. They were able to join in our day-to-day life at the College and experience the variety that comes with Australian culture through a homestay experience with students from our school. Hinano, Marin, Moeka and Hijiri also joined our Year 10 Japanese class, which definitely allowed us to have a lot of fun all while learning new things. We were honoured to be able to develop a close connection and friendship with the students and with that, learn about their own culture, home, school life and themselves as people. Our friendship with them definitely helped us develop our own conversational skills in Japanese. Sadly, before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye and they left to go back home on Friday 18 November. It truly was a pleasure to have them all here and we miss them already. It’s great to know that we’ll stay connected as friends and hopefully will be lucky enough to meet again in the future”.

-Angel Y 10CO

Starting in late Term 3 and continuing into Term 4, Premier League was a successful experience for our Year 8 students. Teams were selected in Basketball, Cricket, Netball Soccer and Volleyball and were again difficult to choose thanks to incredible interest from the students. Thankfully, our fixture appeared to have the least problems with the weather, with only one game of cricket called off despite the tricky conditions over the past few months.

At the end of the home and away season, we had 4 teams qualify for finals by finishing in the top 4 of their division, with another couple just missing out. Boys and Girls Basketball, Boys Soccer and Boys Volleyball made the Semi Finals. The Girls Basketball made it through to the Grand Final against Penola but unfortunately were beaten in the final, despite all members of the team giving their absolute all to fight out the match. Reports were that most of them fell asleep on the way home, such was their exhaustion!

Congratulations to all students that participated, tried out, trained, assisted and represented our college with pride. We look forward to seeing everyone back again in 2023.

Year 8 team MVP winners:

Girls Basketball – Kaitlyn C 8BU & Kara I 8BA
Boys Basketball – Lucien P 8WO
Girls Netball – Emma M 8KO
Boys Cricket – Kam T 8MW
Girls Soccer – Roxi J 8LI
Boys Soccer – Luke P 8MW
Girls Volleyball – Nya W 8BA
Boys Volleyball – Jake P 8MK

OVERDUE BOOKS

As the end of the year is fast approaching, we would ask parents to ensure that students have returned all their library books and other resources. If students have lost items they should contact library staff as soon as possible. Depending on the circumstances, parents may be charged for lost items.

BOOK CLUB

Book Club students enjoyed a special Christmas lunch to celebrate a year of enjoyable book discussions. We sadly say goodbye to our Year 10 students who have been with the club for four years and look forward to welcoming new members next year.

HOLIDAY READING

Students will continue to have access throughout the holidays to thousands of online fiction books and audio books, via the Wheelers Platform on the Library Portal. Books can also be downloaded onto various devices.

The Year 8 Boys Soccer Team worked really hard this season. We didn’t lose a match going into the finals.

The boys went into the semi final ready to face St Monica’s. With a man down after a red card in the previous match, the boys were one centre back down and had to re arrange and organise a new team and formation. The boys had the game under control for almost the whole game but we just couldn’t find an opening goal. We had a few chances but couldn’t consolidate.

With the first 60 mins of play ending 0-0, the team had to take on a very intense 10 minutes of extra time which also lead us to a 0-0 finish. This meant that the boys had to take it to a penalty shoot out.

We were nervous but ready to take on the penalty shoot out! After a very unlucky penalty shoot out unfortunately the boys ended up loosing 6-3 on penalties.

It was an amazing effort by each and every one of our team members, we did really well to make it this far and hope we can go one step further next year!

Our Year 8 Materials Tech classes have been hard at work producing either a chopping or serving board for their families at home. They were tasked with designing and producing a board of their own design out of pine which was then coated in oil and beeswax to give it a food safe finish.

Each student researched existing designs, sketched their ideas and cut out their board using basic hand tools such as a copping saw, tenon saw and files. Everyone had the opportunity to personalise their product by using a pyrography pen to burn or etch a custom design onto the face of their board.

We’ve loved seeing these creations come to life, especially some of the more unconventional designs which deviated from the standard square or rectangle shape we are all familiar with.

It’s been an absolute pleasure helping our Year 8s bring their designs to life. We hope these chopping and serving boards will be used to adorn kitchens and grazing tables for years to come. A special thanks to Ms Catherine Mackay who supported our students through the design process. Her patience and support were invaluable.
