Happy Easter

Dear Parents/Carers,

It is clear from all the earliest accounts of the Resurrection that Christ was preached as having appeared to His followers not once only, but several times over many weeks. Could it have been that the first preachers of the Resurrection were deliberate liars? Did they hide the body of Christ and then spend the rest of their lives telling people that He had risen?

What, then, was the motive for such a lie, for the preaching of the Gospel brought with it no worldly advantage? The Apostles seized no land, piled up no gold, gained no political power or social status. Rather, they faced persecution from both the Jewish and Roman authorities in Palestine and throughout the empire. According to the Acts of the Apostles, in the years immediately following Christ’s death, His disciples suffered imprisonment, flogging, stoning and execution. And according to the Roman historian, Tacitus, the majority of people held them in contempt and Nero had them burnt to death. Why would even one person, yet alone large groups of people, face such things for a lie? The Apostles had no motive to preach the Resurrection unless they believed it, and no motive to believe it unless they had experienced Christ risen again.

The people who plotted the death of Jesus were fearful of the spread of Jesus’ influence and were hostile to Him and His followers. If they wished to crush the new religious sect, they would simply have to produce Christ’s body. That they did not, perhaps they could not. Adapted from writings of Thomas Crean O.P.

The Resurrection does not mean that Jesus resumed His previous life as an ordinary person, rather, it means that Jesus entered another kind and level of existence. This, Jesus alluded to when He said to the robber crucified next to Him,

“Truly, this day you will be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23:43.

Before we settle too comfortably into the celebrations on Easter Sunday, we might slip into Martha’s shoes and see what answer we come up with when Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

God, our Father, we thank You for Your Son, Jesus, and for the direction His life gives to our lives. We ask for perseverance in faith, so that we, too, will join Jesus in His Resurrection.

Amen.”

Assistant Principal - Middle School

Last week was full of events of a pastoral nature. On Monday night, Mr Andrew Burgess from the Catholic Schools Office gave a presentation to parents about cyber issues. Almost all of his facts and figures that he used were drawn from surveys of Year 7 students in Catholic Schools in the Diocese including our own. Needless to say, whether it be bullying, sexting, gaming, pornography or something else, cyber issues are presenting as the biggest issue for our younger students. Perhaps the most startling realisation for me is that it appears that well over 75% of the students surveyed indicated that they had no parental internet restriction placed upon them. They could look at what they want and generally when they want. The presentation on Thursday evening by Constable Nathan Verindar mirrored the Monday evening session and this presenter made it very clear to those assembled, that parents need to do more than they are doing in relation to monitoring their children’s internet usage. From Constable Verindar’s perspective he has more concerns with parents allowing their young children to have internet connectable mobile phones and I would have to agree that the use of phones to transmit facebook, instagram and snapchat messages cause more issues in the school context than computer issues. Both presentations were very relevant and provided all present valuable information to help them navigate the cyber world with children. Many thanks to Sr Mary Bruggy and the local Parent Forum group for co-ordinating these presentations.

Last Friday our own SRC highlighted the national anti -bullying day initiative providing all of our students with information about bullying and what to do if you are a target or bystander. They then set the challenge for each House to develop a 1-2 minute rap that delivers the anti-bullying message and many Tutor groups are well on the way to finalising their product. Each House is to submit their rap to the SRC on the last day of term and the SRC will then choose the best anti-bullying rap. Early next term the winners will have their chance to perform their rap at a College assembly.

ANZAC MARCHI will give more details in the Lantern in the last week of Term so this is just a ‘heads up’ for the Anzac March. As always we hope to provide a presence at Casino, Kyogle, Lismore, Ballina, Alstonville and Woodburn and we ask students to consider being with the College in remembering the sacrifice that others have made for us. As a sweetener, participating in this event with the College may contribute to community service hours and Delaney cup points. Look for the next issue to find times, assembly points and dress expectations.

Mr John Loadsman

YEAR 12 EXAMS AND FEEDBACKYear 12’s have almost completed their Mid-Course exams. Next week teachers will provide feedback to the students. This will allow the students to have things to work on before the beginning of Term 2.

YEAR 7 TO 10 TALENTED COMPETITIONSPermission notes and money are due this week for ICAS and other competitions.

INTERIM REPORTSYear 7 to 11 Interim Reports will be emailed to parents in Week 11. Please ensure that the school has your correct email address.

PARENT/STUDENT/TEACHER NIGHTSPlease keep the following dates available for Parent/Student/Teacher nights.

Tuesday 3rd May, Thursday 5th May and Thursday 12th May.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP - CYBERSAFETY - TEEN PARTYING Last week at Trinity College Lismore, we welcomed two very experienced and informative speakers. On Monday evening Andrew Burgess, E-Learning Manager at the Catholic Schools Office, Lismore presented a parent session on Digital Citizenship and the safe use of technology. Andrew covered such topics as:

• Children’s use of the internet and emerging technologies • Potential risks for adults and children online • Tips to help children stay safe online • Where to get help

This presentation used data from a survey of Year 7 students earlier in the term. With the majority of young teens now with IPhones and access to the internet at their fingertips, it is imperative that parents/carers are confident and educated so as to assist and guide their young person towards good Digital Citizenship. The session was greatly appreciated by those parents who were able to attend.

If you would like the Information for Parents sheet which Andrew provided, please contact me via phone message or email and I will forward it to you.

CYBERSAFETY and TEEN PARTIES.On Wednesday, 16th March we welcomed Police School/Youth Liaison Officer, Senior Constable Nathan Verinder, of the Tweed/Byron LAC, who was with us from 12 noon to speak to students and then parents /carers, staff in the evening about Cybersafety and other issues of importance to teens.

Senior Constable Verinder has worked in the NSW and QLD Police Services for over 19 years and for the past 8 years has worked with young people under the age of 18 with an attempt to educate and divert then away from legal processes. He works closely in schools and through early intervention attempts to assist young people make better choices as they grow and develop.

Parents from Diocesan Schools in the area had been invited through Diocesan Parent Assembly Facebook page, and it was great to see some of these parents join us for the session. The student sessions were informative and realistic and very in touch with young people. The talk was a basis of further discussion in class for some students. Whether you were able to make the session or not, it would be worthwhile opening a conversation with your young person about the content of Senior Constable Verinder’s talk. Please contact me if you would like further information. Thank you to those parents and staff/ Heads of House, who came along to the evening talks your presence and interaction was most appreciated.

Trinity TAS Department recently hosted a Fashion Drawing Workshop for students studying stage 5 and 6 Textiles and Design.

Sarah Hamilton from the Whitehouse Institute of Design presented the student workshops. Fifty-two students participated and had the opportunity to learn and practise new skills in fashion illustration and rendering techniques.

As a result of the workshop, Sarah awarded two certificates of commendation to students based on their enthusiasm and engagement in learning during the workshop. It also recognised their emerging talent in fashion illustration.

The awards went to Year 11 Textiles students, Amy Neal and Lucy Hooten.

A Young Designer Award was also on offer to the student whose talent was most evident and who was able to adapt newly acquired skills.

This award includes a Scholarship offer from Whitehouse Institute of Design for a one-week student holiday program in Fashion Design, valued at around $550.00 and was awarded to Jack Cadonetti Year 11. Congratulations Jack.

Jack is planning to attend the workshop in the July school holidays.

Both Jack and Amy had work submitted in the Wool for Skool design competition in stage 5. It is great to see their interest and enthusiasm in entering these external competitions and the acknowledgement of their talent.

Current students will hear about the Wool for Skool design competition, as well as the Technology Educators Association design competition again this year and we will encourage entries especially from stage 4 and 5 Textiles students looking for extension work.

On Wednesday, 18th March, three teams from Years 7-10 went to Woodlawn for the Gardiner chess tournament. Each person played a total of seven games at thirty minutes a game. You receive 1 point for winning, half a point for a draw, and no points for a loss. Our teams did extremely well given that we were up against older students including Year 12. Two students from our schools received a merit award for scoring 4.5 or above.

These students were Sean Nicholas (Year 7) and Nicholas Vinall (Year 7). This tournament was, I’m sure, a great learning experience for the students that attended.

AN UPDATE FROM A TRINITY STUDENT IN BELGIUM

2015 was a fundamental year in the Growth Mindset area of Trinity Catholic College. Alongside Mr Lyon and a group of motivated students, we introduced Carol Dweck’s philosophy of Growth Mindset to the College. Growth Mindset is the belief that, with effort and persistence, the brain can make new connections and one can improve, learn new skills and ‘get smarter’. My knowledge of this theory has greatly benefitted my student exchange.

I am currently 2 months into my 6 month exchange in the beautiful country of Belgium. This experience has been challenging, yet so rewarding. I have learnt to adapt to a new environment, a different lifestyle, an unfamiliar culture in a new country (with a foreign language) and so on.

Growth Mindset has allowed me to view this adventure from a different perspective. My understanding of this philosophy has greatly assisted me, not merely in the French language, but the experience collectively. I try in all areas with the hope of success, but that isn’t always the case. Instead of fearing failure, I recognise these moments as points of growth and opportunities for learning. I have pushed through difficult situations and reviewed my failures. From there, I learn from my mistakes!

Growth Mindset has assisted me greatly when navigating challenging situations and approaching the experience with an open mind and positive outlook. It has definitely guided me along this journey, and allowed me to grow in all areas. I look forward to the challenges that still await and I also look forward to helping my peers continue with the work of spreading the positive Growth Mindset when I return!

BIOLOGY FIELD TRIP MINYON FALLS

As part of our Preliminary Biology course we undertake studies in the field with an aim to gather first hand data. We picked the rainforest environment as our destination to work in groups to gather data, practice fieldwork techniques and enjoy a pristine part of the Far North Coast environment This year’s excursion to Minyon Falls rain forest lived up to its name. We investigated the local geological formations, abiotic factors in both a terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, used quadrat and transect techniques to analyse the local vegetation.

We all had a firsthand experience of why Minyon is called a rainforest as it poured non stop all day, our booklets were recycled to papier mache and the Minyon fall was in full flood. It was a spectacular sight. Whilst the local species were well adapted to their environment we homo sapiens had to don the ponchos and soldier on. The rain didn’t dampen out spirits and thanks to Issac’s transparent poncho we did manage to record our findings. Between the group we gathered sufficient data. A big thank you to the Dorroughby team for sharing their knowledge and expertise (and providing much needed ponchos).

Mr Ferderer’s Year 8 Mandatory Technology have been busy making jewellery pieces, starting with a heart pendant, then a range of simple rings.

Some of the pendants and rings are made from brass, copper, aluminium and nickel silver or a combination of these materials. Some have used titanium sheet and managed to draw out its wonderful range of colours by torch heating. They then fabricated jump rings and findings to be able to hang the pendants from chains or waxed leather cord. As well they have been producing a design folio that documents the processes of design and production.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Here are a few tips regarding making appointments for your sons and/or daughters:

You are advised not to make appointments outside of the College for your children during school hours unless it is absolutely necessary. This includes Wednesday afternoon during sport time which is a compulsory school activity.

If an appointment is unavoidable during school time, the student is to complete the appropriate section of the Planner and have it signed by their parent/carer. This is to be shown to their Head of House during Tutor time (or before they leave for the appointment for endorsement). Students are asked to show courtesy to teachers by informing them if they are to be absent for a particular lesson. Before leaving the College, students are asked to present their Planner to either site office to be signed out. If they are returning after their appointment, students are asked to sign back in at either site Reception.

It is important that students ‘sign in’ (if late or returning) or ‘sign out’ if leaving early so that the College can maintain an up-to-date record of the whereabouts of each student at any given time during the day. Signing in and signing out is carried out electronically and relatively quick and easy.

School commences at 8.45am. Any student who arrives at the College after 8.50am must report to either Site office to sign in, with a note for being late. If you are unable to provide a note on the day, please follow up as soon as possible afterwards.

If you have any queries at all, please do not hesitate and contact the College…..we are only too happy to help.

Mrs Carmel Warnock

Student Representative Council

Dear Parent/Guardian Overwhelmingly, schools are safe and nurturing places for students. At Trinity Catholic College we are dedicated to making sure our school remain a safe learning environment for all students. However, bullying is a serious issue that every school in the nation faces. Nationwide, research shows that more than half of all school-aged children will be involved in bullying this year as a victim or a perpetrator with many more witnessing bullying acts on a regular basis. We believe in working together with parents to combat bullying. We know this problem isn’t confined to school grounds. Bullying at school affects and is affected by what happens at home between siblings, what happens in the neighborhood, and what happens when kids go online. We must work together to take immediate action, whether a child bullies, is a victim of bullying, or is a witness to bullying. Last Friday at school students took part in The National Day of Action against Bullying. The Student Representative Council led the College in a series of activities to raise awareness culminating in House groups working together to produce and anti bullying message in line with the school pledge introduced and signed by all students in the first year of the initiative in 2015.

We encourage you to support this ongoing initiative by:

•! Speaking to your child about the activities they participated in on Friday •! Download the stand together ap for you children

http://www.takeastandtogether.gov.au/over14/downloads/index.html •! Accessing the parent resources on the Bullying No Way website

http://bullyingnoway.gov.au/parents/index.html

The Student Representative Council at Trinity Catholic College is pleased to share this free resource with you as part of our continuing effort to ensure a safe and productive learning environment for all students at Trinity Catholic College. Kind Regards, The Student Representative Council
