Mark BrooksBusiness Manager

Dear Parents/Carers,

It has been announced that Mr Anthony Duncan will be the Headmaster of Marist College North Shore from the beginning of 2014.

Mr Duncan is an experienced Principal coming to us from Marist College, Penshurst where he has been the Principal for eight years. In addition, Mr Duncan has been on the leadership teams of a number of Catholic schools. We congratulate Mr Duncan on his successful application and we welcome him to the College community at Marist College North Shore. Over the coming weeks, I will be having a number of handover meetings with Mr Duncan so that the transition will be a smooth one.

The Year 12 Graduation functions went extremely well and the Year 12 class deserve congratulations for the manner in which they conducted themselves during that period. They are a credit to the College and to their families.

Our Year 12 students seemed to have prepared themselves well for the HSC examinations and are reporting a high degree of satisfaction with the exams that they have sat to date.

I have encouraged all students to be focused in their study during this term because summer weather can give the impression that the holidays are imminent and this can lead to some laziness in attitude. The results at the end of the year are important for the students so that they can move into next year with a sense of having a capacity to make a difference in their own learning by applying themselves consistently and well.

Assessments for Year 7 to 10 are very near so I wish students the best of outcomes for these. And, I am a firm believer that the students who have applied themselves consistently well will emerge with good outcomes.

Chanel House organised the Pink Cupcake Day last week with outstanding success both in raising money for breast cancer research and raising awareness of the need for the research. Thank you is due to Ms Kathleen McGrath and the Chanel House leaders for organising this and to all the students of Chanel House who made the effort.

The Year 7/2014 Information Evening was held last Wednesday with the incoming students and their parents receiving packets of essential

information for their introduction to Marist College North Shore.

The Year 11 reports are being prepared at present and on Wednesday evening, 23rd October, we have the Year 11 Prizegiving and HSC Information Evening. It is important that all families are represented, as information will be disseminated about the HSC year, which these students have just begun.

Our hearts go out to the victims of the natural disasters that are currently being report not only from other parts of the world but in our own backyard with the devastation of the fires in the Sydney area. We are organising a fundraising day at the school with the amount raised being matched dollar for dollar by the Catholic Education Office, so please help us all that you can with this appeal. The money will go to Catholic Care Social Service unit for distribution to these victims.

Thank you and God bless,

Br Peter Corr, fms

FROM THE DEPUTY HEADMASTERPASTORAL CARE LESSONS

Last Wednesday, all students in Years 7 to 11 were engaged in a pastoral lesson. As mentioned previously, these lessons look to examine relevant issues in our student’s lives. It gives them an opportunity to listen, learn, reflect and discuss with their teachers and peers some ideas around a specific issue. I encourage parents to discuss with their sons these ideas that were explored on the day to gain an insight on what was discovered. The year groups examined the following topics with their teachers and guest speakers:

Year 7:Year 7 participated in a session that focused on healthy living practices. Information and discussion around the dangers of cigarettes and alcohol was a focus. Teachers centred on our young men making positive and informed decisions and providing problem solving techniques in relation to their well being.

Year 8:Year 8 in their pastoral lesson examined information about the dangers of drugs, the risks that are involved, negative influences and strength in decision making.

Year 9: Our school Police Liaison Officer ran a presentation for our Year 9 students on drug education. He examined the dangers of drugs to our wellbeing and elements regarding law and drugs.

Year 10: Year 10 students were engaged in a presentation by staff on a topic titled, Safe Partying. The messages explored within the pastoral lesson was making rational and thoughtful decisions rather than turning to violence. This lesson and its themes were developed using confronting videos and some engaging discussions in various groups. Each student received an information booklet as an informative resource.

Year 11:With our Year 11 students now entering their HSC studies, they focused on looking at the importance of monitoring their own wellbeing. Key elements examined were striking the correct balance between their studies, family life, friends and other commitments.

Models of five essential elements to wellbeing were developed and the importance of fostering a spiritual wellness was put forward to our senior students. A booklet that provided a stimulus was given to each student.

SUN PROTECTION

I have spoken to all students over the last few weeks about the importance of being well prepared when it comes to being exposed to the sun. In particular with Thursday sport, students have been reminded to bring their hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. Their hat, sunscreen and water bottle should be left in their bag and used when appropriate. The importance of being planned is the key as students are aware through our communication and education of the dangers in being exposed to the sun.

YEAR 11

Year 11 have officially begun their HSC studies and should be working closely with their teachers to continue to develop a positive routine towards their studies. Year 11 have been permitted to sign out at the end of the day if they have a study period in Period 6. They also have been allowed the privilege in being senior students to leave the College premises during lunch.

It has been clearly explained that in having such privileges there comes responsibilities. These responsibilities relate to wearing uniform correctly, displaying mature behaviour and returning to the College on time for Period 5.

Furthermore, this Wednesday 23rd October is the Year 11 HSC Information and Prizegiving evening. A note with all the relevant details was issued to the students last week. The College leaders for 2014 will also be introduced to the parents. This is a compulsory event for all students and a parent representative is required.

David ForresterDeputy Headmaster

FAITH FORMATIONWelcome back to Term 4, to what has been a busy start following on from a frantic end to Term 3.

One of the joys of being a teacher in a Catholic school is celebrating Mass with students. The Mass is an integral part of our Faith and it is wonderful to see students celebrate and express their Faith. As part of the Year 12 celebrations, the students have Mass before heading off to their graduation dinner. To see the students procession into the Church to the sound of bag pipes and watch them express their Faith and the importance of having a Faith is something very special. It was also beautiful to hear their booming voices as they sung Sub Tuum, a great Marist Hymn that has been sung by Marists for years in prayer to Mary whilst leaving the church. Being able to celebrate this special event and openly expressing their Faith is something I hope the boys remember for many years to come.

In the coming weeks, a number of students will be invited to participate in Catholic Education Youth Forums and Social Justice days. These days provide opportunities to explore their Faith in other ways and I look forward to being able to share with you their experiences.

As Marists, we are connected to our brothers and sisters from all corners of the globe. Recently we celebrated with our Marist family the beatification of over sixty Marist Brothers on 13th October in Tarragona, Spain. The Brothers were martyred in Spain between 1936 - 1939 during

the Spanish revolution. I invite you to read the short story of Br. Cristano, one of the Martyrs:

Br Crisanto was in charge of twenty-five young men in formation at Les Avellanes. Faced with threats, these young men were accepted by various families of the little village of Tartareu. Br. Crisanto visited and encouraged them: “I cannot separate myself from the young men who are under my care”.

Summoned by the local Revolutionary Committee, he presented himself trustingly. He told the people of the village: “If I am killed, it will be only because I am a Marist religious and because I am doing my duty. If that is the case, I am happy! How could I abandon my dear children! As long as I live, and with the help of the Blessed Virgin, I will take care of them.”At the moment of his murder, he appealed to his executioners: “For the love of God, don’t kill me, let me look after my young men.” Br. Crisanto was killed but the young men succeeded in crossing the French border. According to eyewitnesses, Br. Crisanto went to his martyrdom smiling and tranquil, saying goodbye to the persons nearest to him.

I would encourage you to take the time this week to learn more about our Marist family and the sacrifice that these Spanish brothers made whilst staying true to their Faith.

Stephen VersteeghActing Director of Faith Formation

HSC ACADEMIC AWARDS

Congratulations to the following students who were recognised their First In Course placement and commitment award at the Graduation Mass on Friday 20th September:

CREATIVE ARTSDRAMA

Term 3 was a very busy for the Drama department at Marist North Shore. From HSC Trials and Performances, to excursions and Year 9 Performance days, all boys in all years had a great time participating in a number of different experiences, which all enriched their knowledge and enjoyment of Drama. A big thank you to all the staff, parents and students who continue to support Drama at Marist North Shore.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead - Sydney Theatre Company Performance

On 14th August, Year 10 and 11 went to the Sydney Theatre Company to see their production of Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The play is absurd and follows Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as they try and discover their purpose in life whilst also fulfilling their roles in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Tim Minchin played the ever-so gentle and slightly dim-witted Rosencrantz while Toby Schmitz played the serious and narcissistic Guildenstern.

The show was incredibly entertaining and kept the audience on the edge of their seat for the entire performance. It was a enjoyable performance and both Year 10 and 11 would like to thank Mr Vafeas for organising the excursion and Mr Taylor for coming along to supervise.

- Harry Berton (11 Chanel)

Year 11 Performance - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Abridged)

On 5th September, after a term of rehearsing and learning lines, the Year 11 Drama class (with the help of some Year 10 understudies!) performed the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Abridged). It was great to watch our performance come to life after rehearsing during the term and the audience of supportive parents and staff were taken on the entertaining, yet confusing, journey of two of Shakespeare’s lesser known characters as they tackle questions of existence and life in very funny and absurd ways.

The actors would like to thank Mr Vafeas for his hard work in preparing us for the performance, as well as the audience for coming to support us in what was one of the best plays I’ve been able to perform in with the best group of actors I’ve performed with.

- Joshua Harkin (11 Salta)

Year 9 Playbuilding PerformancesDuring the last week of Term 3, both Year 9 Drama classes came together to perform and watch each others playbuilding performances. Playbuilding is the creation of play from virtually nothing, and are a theatrical response to contemporary issues and current events. Both plays were very similar and were set around wild parties that got horribly out of control. Both classes really enjoyed watching each other perform for the first time.

- George Condon (9 Salta)

PHOTOGRAPHIC & DIGITAL MEDIA

On Wednesday 16th October, twenty-one enthusiastic photographers from the Year 9 PDM class went on an Artists’ Journey to Cockatoo Island. The aim of the excursion was to document the fascinating structures which take one back to another age - the industrial side of Sydney’s history.

The boys were armed with cameras, tripods, block out and of course, lunch. We journeyed by train and then ferry to the island and then were fascinated by the amazing interior space and light in the old industrial workshops with rusting machines. The convict area offered commanding views of the harbour and the Georgian buildings.

Upon their return to class, the students will develop a Body of Work for their Term 4 assessment. I look forward to seeing their interpretation of the island and hope to have a display of their works.

CHESSCHESS TOURNAMENT 2013

On Tuesday 3rd September, 120 of the best Chess players at Marist North Shore came together to battle it out for their House. There was

a wide variety of players from all four Houses and with seven games to play, the heat was on. Players from all Houses and all year groups were set up to play against each other in the La Valla Hall. For entering the tournament everyone received one point, every win would also earn you one point, if you came first you earned an additional twenty points, ten for second and five for third.

We were lucky enough to have the Sydney Academy of Chess organise this event. They set up boards all around the hall that were numbered. Your board number and what colour you were playing was displayed on paper and stuck on the hall walls. At first what board you played on was completely random but once you played a game, your next opponent would be someone who had won the same amount of games as you. As this competition progressed, your opponent was more of a match for you. The competition was higher as you got closer to Board One.

To add to the pressure, Chess clocks were used. Players were given fifteen minutes each to make their move. Once you had made your move, you had to press the Chess clock and your opponent’s time would start. The first person to lose their fifteen minutes or get checkmated loses.

While this adds pressure to make a move quickly and possibly make a vital mistake, strategy could play a significant role in winning. If your opponent has moved and they have not pressed the clock, you don’t have to remind them. In this case you can wait until the end of their time then catch them out or until they finally realise. This gives you a definite time advantage. If your fifteen minutes runs out and your opponent has not noticed, you don’t have to say anything and you can continue playing to checkmate your opponent or until their time runs out.

These Chess clocks really get to some players as it’s always in the back of their minds

while they make a move. On the other hand, others use them to their advantage.

Dead silence filled the room as the players clashed pieces; everyone determined to win. Certain people had specific Chess strategies that could be both offensive or defensive.

Material is always a key factor for winning when playing Chess and one wrong move could easily cost you the game. Although if it’s not material that wins or loses you the game, it’s probably position. If you make a blunder of material but are still in a good position, hope is not lost! It is just a matter of outthinking your opponent and throwing something at them that they didn’t see coming.

By the last game there were only two students with a perfect score and twelve with only one loss. All eyes were on the final games where we could see careful thinking and strategy in play. Some games were developing at flying speeds, while others had enough time to carefully think out their moves and still play aggressively.

At the end of competition the results were:

Overall Placings:1st: Isaac West - 10 Kelly (U/16 - W7/L0)2nd: Dominic West - 8 Kelly (U/14 - W6/L1)3rd: Divyesh Thakkar - 12 Kelly (U/17 - W6/L1)

Age Champions:U/12: Thomas Chhoeu - 7 Kelly (W5/L2)U/13: Ube Silva-Lindsey - 8 Salta (W5/L2)U/14: Joshua Rizk - 9 Moore (W5.5/L1.5)U/15: Thomas Priddle - 9 Kelly (W4.5/L2.5)U/16: Kristopher Kamma - 10 Moore (W5/L2)U/17: Jakub Grzybowski - 11 Kelly (W6/L1) U/18: Tom Windeyer - 12 Chanel (W6/L1)

As a proud member of the Salta House, it was disappointing to see Kelly House take the title by a significant amount of points. Nevertheless, Salta came in second place, followed by Moore and Chanel so I can’t complain too much!

This was a truly thrilling and enjoyable day that challenged all of the competitors and I really hope we can continue to run this for the foreseeable future.

We look forward to another competitive year amongst the Houses as each student strives to be their best and, more importantly, participate in all that Marist North Shore has to offer.

SCULPTURES BY THE SEA

This year’s Sculptures by the Sea exhibition will be a little difference thanks to the effort of Marist North Shore student Marcus Woodfield (11 Salta). Marcus’ efforts were showcased in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday 19th October in the Best Weekend lift out.

Marcus was selected by the Sculptures by the Sea committee to develop and launch the youth focused initiative, Sculptures by the Sea Youth. The initiative aims to engage high school students and foster the event’s continued spirit of curosity and optimism. Marcus and the event team hope to offer a new perspective on the art at the exhibition.

For any student who is interested, there will be ‘My Perspective’ tours of the Sculptures by the Sea exhibit site on Saturday 2nd and 9th November at 2pm. No booking is required, just turn up at the south Bondi headland.
