Faith in Christ gives us our sense of meaning and purpose.

FROM THE COLLEGE PRINCIPAL

Dear Members of the St Andrews

College Community,

In the last Newsletter for Term 1 I want

to thank the staff, students and parents

for a wonderful start to the year. There

are always challenges when you have

such a large community but I can

honestly say that the willingness to get

involved, have a go and work together is

strong in this community. Over the

Easter break please take time to reflect

on the true meaning of Easter, the death

and resurrection of Jesus and what that

means for us both now and when we

die. Have a safe, happy and Holy Easter

break.

Gospel Reflection:

God of the 'Biggest Loser'!

‘While he was still a long way off, his

father saw him, ran to the boy,

clasped him in his arms and kissed

him tenderly……

Now the elder son was angry then

and refused to go in, and his father

came out to plead with him…..’

~ Luke 15:1-3, 11-32 ~

Jesus’ popularly known parable of the

Prodigal Son, sometimes referred to as

the Parable of the Merciful Father, or

Gullible-Loving Father, or The Lost Son

and Dutiful Son, celebrates lost causes.

There will always be disruptions within

families, friends and communities.

Times of rejection, hurt, resentment,

jealousy and righteous indignation and

cries of ‘It’s just not fair!’, Tortuous

misunderstandings, refusal to dialogue,

indifference and distancing from those

we perceive (or may well have been) at

fault.




Sadly what usually follows is no contact, no talking,

gossiping, judgment, ganging up, scapegoating and

whopping big signs of ‘Not welcome here!’

There is a part of each brother in all of us! It’s our

sense of entitlement that separates us from each

other and from our God. Any way you look at it, this

is an alarming story. It is about hanging out with the

wrong people. It is about throwing parties for losers

and asking winners to foot the bill. It is about giving

up the misconception that we can despise each

other but still love God. We simply cannot, no matter

how wrong any of us has been. The only way to

work out our relationship with God is to work out our

relationships with each other.

Where is the Father located in the parable? He is

outside, watching, waiting, waiting and hoping for a

return. While a son is outside, the father runs to

embrace him and kiss him tenderly. The father also

goes outside to plead with the dutiful son. Can we

too be found outside, seeking each other –

especially when lost in our life stuff ? Luke’s gospel

is not only about welcoming the outsider, but going

and getting them and bringing them into our

friendship groups, families, parishes, workplaces

and communities, our nation! Who is outside waiting

for us to go get them?

Most of us will discover God through God’s mercy

and forgiveness, especially in what we and others

deem as unforgivable. God uses our sin to get close

to us. We are loved sinners. Those who forgive

much, can love much. Practice makes progress!

Jesus, are you a prodigal son? Did you waste your

life on us? Or God, are you the Prodigal Father,

Mother, overflowing with love, who runs to meet us,

embraces, and kisses us? Prodigal Son, Daughter,

Prodigal Father, Mother and Prodigal Holy Spirit, we

are filled with awe and wonder at the love you

squander on us.

Did you Know???

Our Diving Team participated today in the

Combined Catholic Colleges Diving Competition.

Thank you to Mrs Weaver for all of her hard work in

preparing the team. At the time of print we did not

know the results. In our endeavour to provide our

students opportunities that no other school in the

Diocese provide we offer Diving as well as a

number of other co-curricular experiences.

Congratulations to our students from:

Year 7: Issabella Narayan, Isabella Young,

Brooke Robinson, Holly McLoughlin, Elana Lekov,

Marley Kozak, Joshua Sammut, Xander Domingo;

Year 8: Mia Rovira, Ava Alley, Bianca Infante, Diana

Park, Jade Kember, Malay Doshi;

Year 9: Ethan France, Tijana Sammut;

Year 10: Georgia Green; and

Year 12: Jemma France.

We wish all our swimmers the best as they compete

in the Combined Catholic Colleges Swimming

Carnival today which happens concurrently with the

diving.

Year 7: Issabella Narayan and Xander Domingo;

Year 10: Georgia Green; and

Year 12: Jayan Easton.

Japanese Visit 2019

We will again be hosting a group of Japanese

students from Osaka Gakugei High School from

Tuesday 23 July (Week 1 Term 3) to Tuesday 6

August (Week 3 Term 3). We will be travelling to

Japan in 2020 as well. We require 35 host families.

If any family is interested in being a billet please

forward your names and contact details to the Office

on 9626 4000. If you would like further information

please contact the College.

iSTEM Developments

The iSTEM and STEAM initiatives at our College

will be further enhanced soon with the addition of

upgraded facilities and resources to enable a wider

range of activities and challenges to occur as well

as further enhance the development of our students

who wish to continue into the Senior School with

Engineering Studies. I will post photos and further

information on this initiative in coming weeks.

Student Leadership Return and Earn Initiative

Congratulations to our student leaders who are

promoting and coordinating the Return and Earn

Recycling initiative at the College. All proceeds will

go towards our nominated charities as well as raise

awareness of our need to recycle to protect our

environment. Great leadership.

Primary School Visits

At present I have visited 9 Catholic Primary Feeder

Schools to introduce myself as well as share with

the staff and students the successes we are

celebrating through the academic, spiritual and

physical dimensions of the College. I have been

accompanied by students who attended the Primary

School and they have been wonderful advocates for

our great College. I have one to go.

Our focus at St Andrews College is to develop

each student using the SPIRE Framework

Fidem in Christo

Stephen Kennaugh Principal




FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STUDENTS

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate

all the staff and students on a wonderful term. There

has been some great work done in the classroom

and with all the extra curricular activities in the

College.

There have been a number of major events during

the term such as the Opening Mass, the Swimming

Carnival, Public Speaking, Jazz afternoons just to

name a few.

The success of the College can only happen with

the extra work of the staff and the participation of

the students. Congratulations to all those who are

―doing more and going beyond‖.

First day back in Term 2

Students return on Tuesday the 30th of April in their

full Winter Uniform.

Term 2 Uniform

All students are expected to be dressed with

blazers, ties for boys and stockings and Kilt or pants

for girls. The Winter Uniform is to be worn to and

from the College and at all times be worn with pride.

As it gets colder, students start wearing extra layers

of clothing. No non-St Andrews College clothing

should be worn with the uniform unless it is hidden

under the College uniform. I suggest that if students

are cold they wear thermal undergarments that are

hidden under the uniform. Gloves and scarves can

be worn but they must be Navy or Black.



Attendance

As the weather gets colder, sometimes students try

to convince their parents that it is too cold to attend

school. Please remember that we have air-

conditioned classrooms and school will run as usual

regardless of the weather. The cold or heat are not

reasonable reasons for not attending school or for

being late to school.

Thank you to all the students and families who have

made an effort to have minimal absences during the

term. We understand that family emergencies and

sickness do happen and when this does happen the

College will assist to ensure that your child does not

miss out.

When there is absence above the recommended

days, the College will make contact with the families

to develop an attendance plan to ensure that your

child is making the most of their learning. Contact

with your child’s Learning Advisor and their Leader

of Learning-Pastoral will ensure that your child’s

needs are being met.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the College if there

are any issues with attendance.

Listening to music while studying

I was reading an article recently about listening to

music while studying. I have listed the major findings

from the research.

What are the main findings?

1. Students who revised in quiet environments

performed more than 60% better in an exam

than their peers who revised while listening to

music that had lyrics.

2. Students who revised while listening to music

without lyrics did better than those who had

revised to music with lyrics.

3. It made no difference if students revised listening

to songs they liked or disliked. Both led to a

reduction in their test performance.

4. Students who revised in silence rated their

environment as less distracting and accurately

predicted that this would lead to better

performances in subsequent tests.

All evidence leads to the conclusion that listening to

music while studying will distract from performance.

This study was conducted with music in mind but

having the television on and other loud noises is not

the best environment for study. Choose a space that

is quiet and has no distractions. Turn off phones and

other distractions and set about to study.

If you would like more information about this study

please come and see me.

What’s in the planner this week?

One of the focuses this week is on Active

Constructive Responding (ACR). This is about

listening enthusiastically, making eye contact, using

positive gestures to make them feel valued. We

must be mindful about being dismissive, showing no

enthusiasm or being non responsive to others.

Positive engaged listening to others helps us build

relationships.

The key word for the week is Adapting. How can

we adapt our ideas, behaviour and our plans to be

more positive and have a growth mindset?





Do you want extra House points? Go to http://

www.viacharacter.org/ and complete the strengths

survey. Come and see me with your top three

strengths and I will give you ten bonus points.

Finally

Please enjoy your holidays and use this time to relax

and recharge yourself for a busy Term 2. Please be

safe and remember to do some reading that is for

your enjoyment.

God bless

FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL TEACHING AND LEARNING

Misadventure and Non Completion

of Task Reminders

There have been a number of students who are not

handing in assessment tasks on time, or are away

on the day before or of the assessment. It is

imperative that students follow the correct

procedures for assessment tasks.

Years 9 - 12

Away on the day of an assessment

Parent/Guardian rings the office to explain

why the student is away for the assessment

task.

Students must obtain a doctors certificate or

the parent/guardian writes a letter explaining

the emergency circumstances.

The student must go to the office on the day of

return to fill out a misadventure for sickness or

an extreme family circumstance before

Learning Group. The doctors certificate and

explanation must be attached to the

misadventure form.

The assessment must also be attached to the

misadventure form if the task is a hand in task

If the task is a test or examination, the student

must complete the misadventure form and

attach the documentation, however the

student must see the KLA Leader of Learning

before recess on the day of return to organise

either or an doing the test/examination oral

alternate task or receive an estimation for the

task.

Students failing to follow the procedures will

receive an N Award Warning Letter and the

task may result in a zero grade

Away the day before an assessment

Students must obtain a doctors certificate or

have a letter explaining the significant

circumstances preventing the student from

coming to school.

Students need to go to the office before

Learning Group to hand in the documentation

and fill in a misadventure form.

Students who know they will be away for the

assessment task

Students must see the KLA Leader of

Learning and their teacher before they miss

the task.

The Leader of Learning and teacher will

negotiate how the student will complete the

test.

It is not satisfactory for a student to know they

will be absent such as for a holiday, or other

event, and not alert the Leader of Learning

and subject teacher.

NAPLAN Practice Tests

The NAPLAN practice tests progressed very well.

However there were students without devices and

headphones. Each student needs to have a device

and headphones as we progress towards the actual

NAPLAN tests. Students without their own device

will have a spare device, however they will not be as

familiar with using the device as they would with

their own device. Also students without earphones

will not be permitted to play any sound during the

actual exam and therefore will be forced to guess

the results.

YEAR 11 JAZZ EVENING



It was nice to see so many staff, students and

parents at the Year 11 Jazz evening.

Our Year 11 music students looked sharp and

sounded great. They all presented as if they were

young professional Jazz artists. For most, it was

the first time performing live on stage.

The St John Paul II Centre was full and alive with a

captive audience as our music performers took

them on a journey down memory lane.

This was a live, real world assessment task that

was marked in a professional setting. The students

were very excited and are now looking forward to

their next showcase of creativity. Our young

performers glowed in a dynamic environment that

left a receptive audience wanting more.

Mr Chiappetta prides himself on exposing our

creative students to regular performance

opportunities so that the St Andrews College

community can acknowledge the impact it has on

their overall educational development.

A very successful evening with massive outcomes

achieved by all students involved.

Thank you to all the staff and students who

assisted with the evening.

COLLEGE CROSS COUNTRY



PDSSSC SWIMMING CARNIVAL



Twelve students represented St Andrews College at

the PDSSSC Swimming Carnival on Friday the 29th

of March. They were Andrew Easton, Jayan Easton,

Georgia Green, Stephanie Out, Ashleigh Out, Daniel

Taylor, Gene Tibig, Marcus Domingo, Xander

Domingo, Issabella Narayan, Roy Hale and Jade

Kember.

Even though we only fielded a small team most

competitors were competing in several events. The

Out sisters, Jayan and Issabella all competed in a

huge nine event program and all improving on their

personal best times in several events. All other

swimmers were in four or more events.

It was a great start from one of our youngest

swimmers Xander Domingo winning his first event

and progressing through to the NSWCCC, he

backed this up with first in the 50m Breastroke,

100m Freestyle and the 50m Backstroke. Issabella

Narayan also progressed in the 50m Butterfly and

the 100m Freestyle. Not to be out done by the Year

7 swimmers Georgia Green progressed in the 50m

Butterfly and Backstroke. The NSWCCC will take

place on the 5th of April.

St Andrews College fielded a Senior Boys Relay

Team for the first time in several years and the boys

performed well securing third place and taking home

a ribbon.

The other students found the competition a step up

with most other competitors training every day. Our

students gave it their best and fought hard in every

race with several swimmers winning their heat.

I would like to thank Miss Mamuk and Mr Aronis for their assistance on the day. A big thank you also goes to the parents who gave up their time to support their son or daughter. We had a great family atmosphere in the stands with everyone cheering each other on. Well done.

MICHAEL VASSILI OUTSTANDING ACHIEVERS AWARDS



The Blacktown Ponds Lions Club Michael Vassili

Outstanding Achievers Awards recognises students

for their outstanding commitment to advancing their

own potential and their commitment to the wider

community.

Year 10 student, Georgia Green and Year 11

student, Jasmine Swift were recipients of this year's

awards. The students were recognised for their

achievements on Saturday the 23rd of March at an

Awards Dinner held at Blacktown Workers Club.

Both students have demonstrated an outstanding

effort towards their studies and their community

endeavours despite the adversities they have

endured in their short lives. Georgia is a great

supporter of the MS Foundation and will again

participate in the MS 24 Hour Mega Swim Relay in

May. Jasmine has been a keen supporter and

volunteer at the Exodus Foundation.

The students and their families enjoyed dinner with

the Major Award Winner, Jasmine Crisp from

Glenwood High School and her mum. Our students

were excellent ambassadors of St Andrews College

and embodied our ethos of being people for others.

They showed strong interpersonal skills in their

interactions with Jasmine who is visually and

intellectually challenged.

I wish to thank all three students and their families

for a wonderful evening. It was my pleasure to be in

their company and witness their wonderful success.

YEAR 7 STUDENT SELECTED IN INTERNATIONAL FUTSAL TEAM



Elana Lekov of Year 7 has been developing her

football skills since she joined Tiny Tots as a four

year old.

From the age of five until nine Elana played for

Blacktown Spurs where she continued developing

her ball skills and soon mastered the skill of

passing the ball with both feet. Elana believes this

is a skill essential for the success of any football

player.

For the past four years Elana has played

representative soccer with Blacktown Spartans

and Mt Druitt Rangers. At the age of nine Elana

began to play Futsal and in 2018 she made the

Inner West Magic Team. Her coach asked her to

trial for the Futsal NSW Team where she was

successful.

At the end of the season Elana and her family

received information that she was selected to

represent Australia in the Australian 13 Years

National Futsal Team to play in Barcelona.

When asked what she likes most about football

and Futsal Elana says the fast pace and

excitement of the game. She also credits some of

her strong friendships to football.

This is Elana’s first opportunity to represent

Australia and she is very excited to be playing at

an international level. Her training regime will soon

increase from two nights a week to three nights a

week as she prepares for the Barcelona Tour in

late October and November.

2019 has become very busy for Elana as she

juggles her training and Year 7 workload. Elana is

very much looking forward to what the future may

hold for her.

Congratulations on your great achievement Elana!
