Issue 9 > Thursday 29 March 2018

The whole College Mass celebrated on Wednesday was in preparation for the Catholic traditions that take place for Easter. Every day, week,

year that Mass is celebrated is in itself a tradition, therefore we celebrated

Mass with special narration to explain why we do what we do in different

parts of the Mass.

We read from the Bible to recall the life and teachings of Jesus, we celebrate

the Eucharist as a reminder of the Last Supper and how as humans sharing

a meal together is a tradition we practice every day and even more so

for special events. Unique to our Easter Celebration Mass was to re-enact the ‘washing of the feet’. Jesus washed

the feet of his disciples as a symbol to show that as a leader we also needto be servants. Monsignor Swann,

our Principal, Mr Andrew Baker, staff members and students demonstrated

to this to the congregation, using Jesus as an example, washing each others feet to further enhance this

message that over 2000 years later, this symbolic tradition is still relevant today. This tradition showed that one

moment can last forever, the symbol of one man can last forever, the values of love and compassion can last forever.

Each of us is unique we must be proud of who we are, what we are and tell the world ‘this is me’ and we choose to walk in the shadow of the cross, to follow Jesus. We need to recognise

that when we show love, compassion, leadership, dignity and respect, service

to others, truth, learning and justice, we show Jesus.

“THERE’S NOBODY LIKE YOU!”

Palm SundayHoly Week starts with Palm Sunday.

There was a nice Pope Francis moment on one occasion when he was meeting and greeting people in St Peters Square, where a person in the crowd shouted to the Pope “there’s nobody like you!” In response, Pope Francis yelled back “You too! No one like you!”

When I read this story, it made me think “image of God”. What Pope Francis is highlighting here is the wonder and delight of each individual person. Each member of the crowd is unique – “no one like you” – and is made in the image of God. We thus recognise wonder in each person and the gifts that each person can bring.

On Palm Sunday however, we hear of people acting like a “crowd” rather than individuals. The crowd influence is very strong and often we do find ourselves swayed by the crowd. Palm Sunday has very long readings because we hear about both the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and the awful story of the Passion of Jesus.

If we focus on the crowd though, instead of Jesus, we can see something of ourselves, and our relationship with

Jesus. If we think of ourselves as part of the crowd welcoming Jesus we can think the times we are followers of Jesus, working hard to be like Jesus. When we do the right thing. If we think of ourselves as part of the crowd who condemn Jesus in front of Pontius Pilate, we can think of the times we move away from Jesus and his example. When we are lured away by the trappings of our material world and needs. When we do the wrong thing.

Despite the times when we move away from Jesus, I believe that it is the human condition to want to be more like the welcoming crowd than the condemning crowd. And when we find ourselves in the condemning crowd we are reassured by the message of Palm Sunday. The welcoming crowd called out “Hosanna”, which in Hebrew means ‘save us we pray’. They may have been thinking of a King who would save them and set them free in an earthly way, we know that God’s plan was to ‘set us free’ eternally. So we pray:

Hosanna, blessed is he whocomes in the name of the God.

We make a promise to keep trying to be part of the welcoming crowd especially as we reach the end of

our Lenten preparations forEaster and our renewal.

Together we pray.With One Heart. Amen.

Lent, Holy Thursday, Project Compassion and Archbishop Gleeson – all connectedThis week concludes with Holy Thursday and our final fundraiser in Lent for Project Compassion. This will be a ‘Wear your colours’ day where students are encouraged to wear their favourite sports team’s colours with their uniform.

The season of Lent has provided us with the ideal opportunity to move out of our comfort zone and look to how we can make a difference to the lives of others who are suffering; for those who live their daily lives in poverty where the basics of food and shelter are denied, with little or no opportunity for an education. Supporting Project Compassion provides us with an opportunity to make a difference to another person’s life, so that those living in poverty or difficult circumstances can realize their human dignity and live life to the full, which is what we all hope for ourselves.

Archbishop James Gleeson served on the pontifical Council “Cor Unum” (One Heart) from 1971 to 1981. This council aimed at developing effective methods of enabling the people of developing countries to meet their needs in the desperate struggle for their right to live in dignity, justice and peace. Today we, at Gleeson College, continue this work through charitable acts including supporting Project Compassion in Lent and the other charities, which raise much needed funds all year round.

Last week we remembered the anniversary of Archbishop Gleeson’s

death on March 21, 2000. A Memorial Mass for Archbishop Gleeson will be

held next Wednesday 4 April (5.45pm) at the Cathedral. Gleeson Staff and all Year 7 students will be in attendance and our choir will be singing at the Mass. You are welcome to join us!

Easter blessings to all.

YEAR 7 BEACH CAMP > Tribal Challenges Create New Bonds!After a long wait since being postponed

due to extreme heat, the day finally came last Wednesday 21 March when

Year 7 students waved goodbye to their parents and gathered in the courtyard ready to take on the excitement and

adventure of Year 7 Camp.

With all students destined for warm and sunny Wallaroo, they excitedly

boarded the bus ready for three days of fun and adventure. Once we arrived at our accommodation, CU@Wallaroo,

the Year 7s were greeted by the owners and caterers, and also the team from Beyond Limits who planned the daytime activities to come. The camp

began with an introduction and by getting into tribes that students would be in for the entire camp. Each tribe came together and created creative names such as “Foot Fungus” and

“Gnarly Bro”, as well as a chant that would be used throughout the entire camp to encourage each other during

team challenges.

The Beyond Limits team challenged students to work together as a tribe

while undertaking each of the exciting tasks. Some of the favourites included

the amazing survivor-style water obstacle that involved PVC pipes,

buckets, sponges and a locked chest, as well as the ‘Bomb Squad’ that involved tin cans, ropes and elastic and required

full concentration from every tribe member.

While down at the beach, students raced the other tribes in a water relay, a raft-building competition and trenching under a wooden pole to get the entire

tribe to the other side. The night activities included a walk along the

jetty, quiz, movie time and also a trip to the local park with its famous flying fox.

This camp provided a great opportunity for students to have fun, push

themselves both mentally and physically and to work in a team to get to know their Year 7 peers. All students had a great time and we are sure they will

look back on this amazing experience for years to come.

Mr Adrian Ranieri,Technologies Coordinator

“I enjoyed all the activities becausewe never had time to stop.”

- James Harding (7 BAR)“It was a great time to make new

friends and strengthen other friendships.”

- Charlotte Duncan (7 BAR)“I made new friends and had new

experiences. I loved working together with my tribe.” - Jett Darmody (7 PUT)

“I got to try new activities and new foods!” - Stefan Valentino (7 PUT)“I got to socialise with new friends

and eat AMAZING food!”- Amelia Fox (7 HEW)

“The activities were challengingand required teamwork.”- Kayla Marshall (7 PUT)

“I got to interact with other Year 7s that I don’t usually hang out with.”

- Eleena Kieu (7 PUT)“I did things that I wouldn’t normally

do like sand tunnel digging. I also loved the food, it was amazing,

especially the chicken yiros!”- Nakiah Myers (7 BAR)

YEAR 8 VISUAL ART > Sporting Uniform Design ProjectAboriginal art has survived for many

thousands of years and continues to be one of the oldest art forms practiced

today. Aboriginal art consists of symbols. These symbols were used as a means of communication; communication of their

lives on earth, their rituals, food, customs and to show constellations and for ritual decorations. These works were almost

always ceremonial or religious.

The Year 8 Visual Art Class have completed an assessment task based not

only on design principles, but also on understanding and incorporating their new-found knowledge of Aboriginal art

and using symbols, into an Aboriginal art inspired sporting uniform design.

The results were outstanding and could easily be used by any Australian sporting

code in the future! These examples are a small sample of the creative and

successful designs produced.

Miss Curtis’ Year 7 Home Economics Class worked hard to plan and present a healthy morning tea platter for the

staff. This task provided students with authentic learning experiences,

making healthy food choices and engaging with Gleeson Staff to serve

and present their platters.

Each group took great pride in their work, resulting in a variety of creative

and appealing platters that were thoroughly enjoyed by all in the

GC Staffroom on Tuesday morning!

YEAR 8 SPECIALIST NETBALL > Netball SA Umpiring CourseThe Year 8 Specialist Netball Class undertook a Basic Umpiring Course delivered by accredited Netball SA

umpires Bruce and Zoe at the College last Thursday 22 March.

The players really enjoyed the session, which was predominantly practical-

based, as it gave them a great insight into the role of an umpire and further

developed their knowledge and understanding of netball.

Mrs Peggy Busbridge,Specialist Netball Teacher

YEAR 9 SPECIALIST WORLD FOOTBALL > FFA Level 4 Refereeing Course

The Year 9 World Football Program Class has been completing the Football Federation Australia Level 4 Refereeing Course throughout Term 1.

The aim of this program is to educate new referees on the FIFA laws of the game and disciplines of refereeing, to uphold these laws, standards of the game and contribute to the enjoyment and fair play of football in South Australia. The course consists of

theory modules online and practical sessions on the pitch to enable referees to begin refereeing at community level. Well done to all students involved.

YEAR 10 PLP + YEAR 11-12 CAREER PATHWAYS WORKSHOPYEAR 10 PERSONAL LEARNING PLAN > Career Profiling to make happy careers our mission!Last Thursday, the three classes of Year 10 Personal Learning Plan students undertook the journey to career self-discovery led by Emma Bulling from UniSA.

In the preceding weeks, the students undertook the MyCareerMatch career profiling tool which provided them with a personalised career report packed full of information and tips that matches and connects the student personality style with a variety of careers. This tool is the No.1 career profiling tool for students in Australia; it strengthens existing self-discovery and inspires students to talk about their future with their teachers and parents. MyCareerMatch provides a precise, real time solution to help students discover careers they would love!

Subsequently, Emma took students through their personal reports, pointing out important information that will be valuable for them, keeping in mind that they will be making those all-important decisions on what subjects to undertake at the SACE Stage 1 and 2 level in their PLP e-Portfolio and more formally at subject selection in August this year. It is vital that students make the right choices when choosing their subjects, to ensure that those selections that will lead them to their career of choice.

MyCareerMatch uses four personality styles to assist with matching with various career choices. Blended together in varying percentages these personality styles; Drivers, Promoters, Supporters and Analysers are graphed and students are then characterised as one or two these in a dominant or a backup style. Most students will find that they are a mix of two styles. Student reports listed individualised career focused information, including: word that describe them, work-related strengths to use in their job portfolios and qualities they bring to a job.

The students and their teachers: Mrs Maria Gagliardi and Mrs Evelina Condo were very appreciative of the valuable and informative presentation given by Emma.

answer all the questions I had regarding the Bachelor of Aviation (Management) Course which I plan on Studying at the University of South Australia in 2019. Emma was also more than happy to

shed light on the form of assessments and subjects to be studied in this course which made me even more enthused to

follow my dreams and continue topursue my passion for Aviation.”

- Jordan Sandford (12 HSFEL)Thank you to Emma Bulling from UniSA, who has a long-standing relationship with our College, which we hope to continue with our next group of Year 10 PLP students next semester.

Miss Denise Spiroulias,Cross-Disciplinary Studies Coordinator

YEAR 11 + YEAR 12 STUDENTS >Directions to their Career of Choice!Emma also took some time out of her schedule to meet with Year 11 and 12 students individually to discuss their selection of course, their career options and other opportunities available to them through UniSA. These students were also very appreciative of the time Emma took to answer their queries.

“On behalf of all the students, I would like to thank Emma, a Student Liaison Officer from the University of South Australia for taking time out of her

schedule to meet with senior students to discuss their future career and

study prospects after their secondary education here at Gleeson College.

For me personally, Emma was able to

The secondary school year is well and truly underway and thousands of teenagers (and their parents) across the country are settling in for a full year ahead. For some this marks the beginning of an entirely new stage in their schooling, while others are buckling in for another year of academic rigor. The following are a few tips to help you and your young person navigate the year ahead.

1. Communicate with schoolCommunication with the school is important in aiding a successful school year for your teenager. Familiarise yourself with the names of your child’s subject teachers, year level coordinator and pastoral care/homeroom teacher. If your child has any specific learning or behavioral issues it is important to share these with their teachers at the outset. Don’t assume that information will be passed on from previous teachers.

Be sure to communicate early any concerns your have regarding your teen’s experience at school. As a secondary teacher myself, I can’t stress enough the importance of parents letting us know of issues before they become big problems. We can only deal with information you share with us.

It can be annoying wading through the mountain of communication that arrives home via your teen’s schoolbag or your inbox, however it is important that you read such communication. Have a dedicated place for keeping incoming and outgoing forms. Note important term dates, sports days, excursions and camps in your diary and on a family calendar visible to all.

2. Organisation tools to support successWe like to believe our teenager will naturally develop strong organisational skills and be a self-motivated young person. However this is not often the case. As parents we often need to model organisation tools and strategies.

Ensure your child uses his or her school diary on a daily basis to record homework, assessment tasks and tests. Take a look at it regularly and ask questions if there are weeks of blank pages.

3. Create and support a homework planMany teenagers find homework an inconvenience. However, if homework is set for your teenager it is better to set them up for success rather than ignore the issue. Ensure your child has a well-lit space where they can complete homework each night, ensuring they also have the tools they need. Ensure their social media devices are somewhere else and keep healthy snacks at the ready. Encourage your teenager to get into the habit of creating a ‘to do’ list to keep them focused on two or three tasks in a session.

EDUCATION/LEARNING

4. Encourage your teen to find their sparkThe school year is long and can be exhausting at times, and it is not the be-all and end-all. Encourage your teenager to find their spark by being involved in non-academic activities that bring them joy. Examples are sports, music, dance, art or anything else they have a passion for. Having an interest outside of school that encourages socialising and developing friendships is also great for resilience.

5. Prepare for a successful day aheadPreparing for a successful day starts with getting plenty of sleep. This is becoming increasing difficult as an unprecedented number of teenagers are reporting sleep issues as a concern. Most teenagers require 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night, but many report getting less than 5.

Young people often lack the self-control to avoid engaging online when they should be sleeping. One strategy for improving this situation, which may require you to develop your ‘digital spine’, is removing internet-enabled devices from the bedroom. Insist devices are placed in a central charging area in the home, away from bedrooms, at a nominated time each evening. Many teenagers also benefit from developing a pre-sleep routine such as reading a (paper) book or magazine half an hour before bed, having a warm bath or shower and/or a warm milk drink. If sleep continues to be an issue, it would be worth a visit to your local GP for a consultation to rule out any underlying issues.

The best way to set the scene for a successful day ahead is to ensure your teenager eats a healthy breakfast and takes a nutritious and balanced lunch with plenty of healthy snacks to keep their brain focused throughout the day.

6. Make time to chat about schoolFinally, keep the lines of communication open with your teenager about their school experiences. While you may be met with an awkward grunt when you ask about their day at school, don’t give up on asking. Often a teenager will chat more in the car or in a café. Keep reminding your child that you are always available to listen – listening being the crucial point here. Many adolescents don’t want you to fix their concerns but they may need you to just listen.

Talk about the positive experiences you had during your own high school years and reassure your teen that it will go by quicker than they can imagine.
