Reflection The feast of the Assumption of Mary is one of the most important days in the Church’s calendar year. It is one which reminds us of the devotion and care conveyed by Jesus’ mother. Not only was she able to place her complete faith and trust in God, she was able to achieve this with grace and honour despite the challenges faced by women at the time. Moreover, this day also reminds us of the sacrifices of all mothers and how they work tirelessly to assist their families in whatever ways possible. For instance, Pope Benedict during his reign reinforced the role of mothers when he talked about the ‘gift of the mother’ and how we should ‘pray to Mary to help us find the right path every day’. For the exceptional young men at St Mary’s, this challenges them to be men of complete respect and appreciation for all women and all the sacrifices they make for them. Thus, this respect displayed by our young men benefits not only the college but also the community through their actions and attitudes. Mary serves as the epitome of faith through her actions and her willingness to trust in God without question. This would have been challenging, and the suffering she endured due to this pain is unimaginable to most of us. Essentially, she was a vehicle for the peace and salvation through Jesus and his actions. It is through these actions that we are always reminded of hope and how it continues to flow throughout our society. Thus, Mary, through her faith, was able to go to heaven (body and soul) providing light for all who require it in their lives (Catechism of the Catholic Church, # 966). Edmund Rice, our founder, had a strong devotion to Mary as well and respected the sacrifices made by women especially with his wife perishing post labour. In particular, this understanding led him to teach the young men at his schools the value of women in our society and how they are imperative to make the world the best that it can be. Due to this long-standing history, it is no wonder that St Mary’s serves as a white ribbon representative and continues to promote a positive attitude towards women and all that they accomplish in our society. Overall, through the points mentioned above, it is clear to see the benefit of Mary in our lives and how she was able to demonstrate faith, sacrifice and hope through her actions. Moreover, it is our responsibility to retain this memory and appreciate all the prominent women in our own lives and respect and care for them accordingly. Written by Mr Edward Russell – Ministries Coordinator Assumption Mass and Semester One Academic Awards Thank you to all special guests, parents and friends who attended our Assumption Mass and Semester One Academic Awards Ceremony today. We are truly blessed to be part of a community who allows for the growth of our boys and recognises his sense of purpose and his striving for success. We particularly wish to acknowledge those students who have achieved to a high academic standard over Semester 1 of this year. We congratulate those boys for the effort, determination and focus that they have shown to achieve this particular ‘crown’ of academic success.

Reflection The feast of the Assumption of Mary is one of the most important days in the Church’s calendar year. It is one which reminds us of the

Mary serves as the epitome of faith through her actions and her willingness to trust in God without question. This would have been challenging, and the suffering she endured due to this pain is unimaginable to most of us. Essentially, she was a vehicle for the peace and salvation through Jesus and his actions. It is through these actions that we are always reminded of hope and how it continues to
flow throughout our society. Thus, Mary, through her faith, was able to go to heaven (body and soul) providing light for all who require it in their lives (Catechism of the Catholic Church, # 966).
Edmund Rice, our founder, had a strong devotion to Mary as well and respected the sacrifices made by women especially with his wife
perishing post labour. In particular, this understanding led him to teach the young men at his schools the value of women in our society and how they are imperative to make the world the best that it can be. Due to this long-standing history, it is no wonder that St
Mary’s serves as a white ribbon representative and continues to promote a positive attitude towards women and all that they accomplish in our society.

We would appreciate as many students and staff going along to give our boys your support. This is an outstanding effort to come so far in this prestigious competition. Year 11 Camp Thank you to the staff who will be supervising the Year 11 boys on their three-day camp at Emu Gully this week. This camp is designed to give boys the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in leadership and team building. I wish all of the campers well and trust that they enjoy the time together. National Science Week Saturday, 12th August to Sunday, 20th August is National Science Week for 2017. This week celebrates all that is science in schools with the theme for 2017 “Future Earth”. The week will focus on sustainability science and highlights those issues that are unique to Australia and our region. We again look forward to some interesting activities and experiments during Science week at St Mary’s College. My special thanks to Acting Science Curriculum Leader, Mrs Louise Rapson, and to the Science teachers who will be preparing this week’s activities. Year 7 Science and Humanities Excursion All Year 7 students will venture to Wivenhoe Dam on Thursday, 17th August as they study water and its effects in both Science and Humanities classes. During the excursion the boys will be undertaking water testing and monitoring, sketching maps and diagrams, completing field study questions, examining the information presented at the centre and listening to presentations by the guides. I thank Mrs Liz Frame (Humanities Curriculum Leader) and Mrs Louise Rapson (Acting Science Curriculum Leader) for organising this interesting excursion for the boys. Music Department This Saturday, 19th August, is the 27th Annual Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges Music Festival (QCMF). This premier event is a non-competitive event allowing ensembles to get adjudicated feedback and watch/network with their peers. The QCMF is a celebration of all things musical covering a diverse range of genres within the classical and contemporary styles. Performers range from six to eighteen years of age and participate in brass, wind, string, percussion, jazz and choral ensembles including a magnificent combination of these in choirs, orchestras and a variety of bands. The music festival is held over three days, and is being hosted by Villanova College, Coorparoo (Brisbane). There will be 101 schools participating with 532 ensembles and 13,295 student performers. Good luck to all students in the Concert Band, Showband and Drumline who have all entered in this event and will perform on Saturday. Thank you to Mr Benn Tracy, Director of Music, and Music teachers Miss Christina Marangelli, Ms Jennifer Morgan and Mr Peter Chandler for supporting our boys and giving them the opportunity to experience such a quality event. A reminder that Thursday, 25th August our St Mary’s College students will be performing in their soloist concert to be held in the T. P. O’Brien Hall at 6.30 pm.

This match was played on Monday, 14th August against St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace in Brisbane.

This week, Year 10 and Year 11 Graphics students visited Grand Central Shopping Centre as part of their Shop Design Project. Students had the opportunity to visit a variety of stores and speak to managers about the design of their shops and how the various design aspects related to the success of the store. Students found this opportunity
valuable in assisting them in developing their own ideas. We are looking forward to meeting with the retail design manager and receiving his feedback at the end of the project. Students are now completing their designs and then will be creating computer models of their shops.

FROM THE HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT There is plenty going on in our History and Geography classes this semester and we are looking forward to taking our Year 7 Geography classes to Wivenhoe Dam this Thursday for their field study on water in the world and the water cycle - which they are studying in Science. Boys need to be at school by 8.15 am so that buses can leave at 8.30 am. Boys are to wear their sports uniform and they must have a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. It is also essential that they charge their iPads the night before so that they can take all their photographs. All boys will be back at the College by 3.00 pm to connect with buses. Year 7 students will be
briefed in their Humanities classes this week about what to take – please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions. Something that is exciting is the World War 1 and 2 History Tour which will be taking place in the September school holidays in 2018. The tour will take us through London, the many battlefields on the Western Front, Normandy and the D Day landing sites, France and Berlin. This is an all inclusive price tour which is a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience the efforts and sacrifices that have paved the freedom that we all enjoy today. Currently we have 23 students and 11 adults who have committed to the tour. There are still places available for students who may like to participate. Obviously a tour of this nature is not cheap, but the College has a payment plan and we are fundraising to assist in offsetting the cost. If your son will be in Year 9, 10, 11 or 12 in 2018 and you would like more information, please contact me on [email protected] at your earliest convenience. Students do not need to be studying history, they only need to show an interest and enthusiasm and preparedness to be good ambassadors for the College. I look forward to the remainder of the year.
