From the Principal Trinity Catholic College Lismore the Lantern No. 3 Week Seven Term One Tuesday, 8th March, 2016 Dear Parents/Carers, With the Season of Lent upon us and the old problem of “what to give up for lent” circling around us, perhaps the following might offer some alternatives: • Fast from anger and hatred - be more patient and understanding. • Fast from judging others - think kindly thoughts. • Fast from discouragement – be full of hope. • Fast from complaining - focus on gratitude. • Fast from resentment or bitterness – turn to forgiveness. Of recent times, Lent has lost some of its importance to Christians, but a Christianity that celebrates only the joyful times, like Christmas and Easter, leaves us with a fractured Spirituality. We need to have the balance of being challenged by the sometimes harsh truths of human life – our weaknesses and failings. We need the Season of Lent if we are to live in imitation of Christ, to be Christians. We need to work out for ourselves what it is in our lives that needs to die, to be no longer part of our lives. If we are able to achieve this, to sweep out the negatives, then Easter will not be a shallow celebration but one full of meaning, for we will be totally aware of the new birth as stated in the Resurrection of Jesus. PARTICIPATION SWIMMING CARNIVAL / CHANTS Last Friday saw the participation swimming carnival with events held at both the Lismore and Alstonville pools. Once again our students threw themselves into the day and all who attended had a great time. Thanks to all the staff who organised the day and in particular to the College’s Manager of Sport, Mr Matt Barlow who took the lead organisational role. Congratulations to Wilson House who won the chanting before the students left for the two pools and to Dennis House who took out the points score at Lismore and Champagnat House who took out the points score at Alstonville. SJS CARPARK Last week I had a parent ring concerned about the situation in the SJS carpark each day afterschool. She is a parent who is arriving to take her young child to the learn to swim program and she finds it almost impossible to move around the carpark or park at this time. I went to have a look for myself and noticed:

Of recent times Lent has lost some of its importance to Christians but a Christianity that celebrates only the joyful times like Christmas and Easter leaves us with a fractured Spirituality We need to have the balance of being challenged by the sometimes harsh truths of human life ndash our weaknesses and failings
We need the Season of Lent if we are to live in imitation of Christ to be Christians We need to work out for ourselves what it is in our lives that needs to die to be no longer part of our lives If we are able to achieve this to sweep out the negatives then Easter will not be a shallow celebration but one full of meaning for we will be totally aware of the new birth as stated in the Resurrection of Jesus

DELANEY CUPOur Delaney Cup competition named after staff member Bob Delaney (RIP) is designed to recognise the efforts of our students within their House The point score below began at the start of Term 4 2015 and the competition will conclude at the end of Term 3 this year House Captains are aware of the categories that contribute to this competition and constantly work with their students to build House spirit The results below include points earned in relation to the recent swimming carnival events
NATHAN DELIVERS A POWERFUL MESSAGEA couple of weeks ago Mrs Brown initiated contact with Trinity ex-student Nathan Parker which led to Nathan coming to the College to speak to a Year 10 and a Year 8 group of students Nathan whose story appeared in the recent Lismore edition of the Echo was severely injured in an ADFA bus crash last year an accident which at the time threw his lifelong goal of being an Airforce pilot into question
Nathanrsquos presentation about resilience focused on his journey to recovery and it was simply inspirational The students were intensely interested in this person who only late last year they were asked to pray for in Tutor groups Nathan gave some very simple recommendations on how to approach problems that seem too immense to even contemplate and his attitude is best summed up in the verse that appears on his business card
The simple fact is that some times in life just donrsquot go to plan I choose to face all my challenges daily and Irsquom just getting started Nathan Parker
TEEN PARTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND CYBER ISSUESNext Wednesday Year 9 students will attend a presentation by our Police Schoolsrsquo Liaison Officer on the topic of teen partying and associated issues I expect that it will be legalistic in nature and will not touch on some of the things I alluded to in the letter I sent to parents of Year 9 students a few weeks ago The Officer will present a similar session to interested parents on Wednesday evening at the College and it will be a good opportunity for parents to get together and discuss both the legal and non-legal aspect of teen partying This evening presentation is predominately tailored to parents of Year 9-11 students but is open to all parents You are encouraged to come along and to share your wisdom

Be Your Best
BE YOUR BESTBe your Best is an incentive program to encourage all students to be the best person they can Each fortnight teachers are asked to notice students who are displaying the focus quality and to distribute about 4 tokens to each of their classes The focus qualities change from fortnight to fortnight cycling through Being Respectful Being Responsible Being Reconciling Being Just and Fair and Being Hopeful All of these comprise the values that we nurture in our students within our classes
When students receive a token they place it in the Token box at the office of their Head of House Twice per term each House makes two draws from the Token box and those whose tokens are drawn are awarded a $20 canteen voucher The tokens are all kept and on the last day of the school year 5 tokens are drawn from all the tokens collected throughout the year with the lucky owners winning an iPad each
Congratulations to the students listed below who received tokens during the first 5 weeks of this term

Thank you all so much for your kind and generous support of the Fiji Appeal The response was outstanding and we had an incredible variety of good quality second-hand gear as well as many items which had obviously been purchased specifically for this Appeal including books pens coloured pencils towels and other bathroom items and two boxes full of brand-new mosquito nets It was wonderful to be able to donate these items to people who have lost so much and to have gathered them in such a short time frame was amazing
Thank you to all the students and their families for your open-hearted generosity

DELANEY CUPOur Delaney Cup competition named after staff member Bob Delaney (RIP) is designed to recognise the efforts of our students within their House The point score below began at the start of Term 4 2015 and the competition will conclude at the end of Term 3 this year House Captains are aware of the categories that contribute to this competition and constantly work with their students to build House spirit The results below include points earned in relation to the recent swimming carnival events
NATHAN DELIVERS A POWERFUL MESSAGEA couple of weeks ago Mrs Brown initiated contact with Trinity ex-student Nathan Parker which led to Nathan coming to the College to speak to a Year 10 and a Year 8 group of students Nathan whose story appeared in the recent Lismore edition of the Echo was severely injured in an ADFA bus crash last year an accident which at the time threw his lifelong goal of being an Airforce pilot into question
Nathanrsquos presentation about resilience focused on his journey to recovery and it was simply inspirational The students were intensely interested in this person who only late last year they were asked to pray for in Tutor groups Nathan gave some very simple recommendations on how to approach problems that seem too immense to even contemplate and his attitude is best summed up in the verse that appears on his business card
The simple fact is that some times in life just donrsquot go to plan I choose to face all my challenges daily and Irsquom just getting started Nathan Parker
TEEN PARTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND CYBER ISSUESNext Wednesday Year 9 students will attend a presentation by our Police Schoolsrsquo Liaison Officer on the topic of teen partying and associated issues I expect that it will be legalistic in nature and will not touch on some of the things I alluded to in the letter I sent to parents of Year 9 students a few weeks ago The Officer will present a similar session to interested parents on Wednesday evening at the College and it will be a good opportunity for parents to get together and discuss both the legal and non-legal aspect of teen partying This evening presentation is predominately tailored to parents of Year 9-11 students but is open to all parents You are encouraged to come along and to share your wisdom

Be Your Best
BE YOUR BESTBe your Best is an incentive program to encourage all students to be the best person they can Each fortnight teachers are asked to notice students who are displaying the focus quality and to distribute about 4 tokens to each of their classes The focus qualities change from fortnight to fortnight cycling through Being Respectful Being Responsible Being Reconciling Being Just and Fair and Being Hopeful All of these comprise the values that we nurture in our students within our classes
When students receive a token they place it in the Token box at the office of their Head of House Twice per term each House makes two draws from the Token box and those whose tokens are drawn are awarded a $20 canteen voucher The tokens are all kept and on the last day of the school year 5 tokens are drawn from all the tokens collected throughout the year with the lucky owners winning an iPad each
Congratulations to the students listed below who received tokens during the first 5 weeks of this term

SYDNEY DANCE EXCURSION
In Early February the Year 11 and 12 Dance students travelled to Sydney Students undertook workshops at Dance Central HSC Dance Workshops with HSC markers and open classes at Sydney Dance Company The group also attended the Seymour Centre Theatre to view the performance of Callback the best of the 2015 HSC performances compositions and films The highlight for most was watching Matilda the musical on Saturday night at the Lyric Theatre The students walked long distances and danced a lot and it can be safe to say they were a little tired and sore on return It was however a wonderful excursion to experience the dance world at a HSC and professional level

Thank you all so much for your kind and generous support of the Fiji Appeal The response was outstanding and we had an incredible variety of good quality second-hand gear as well as many items which had obviously been purchased specifically for this Appeal including books pens coloured pencils towels and other bathroom items and two boxes full of brand-new mosquito nets It was wonderful to be able to donate these items to people who have lost so much and to have gathered them in such a short time frame was amazing
Thank you to all the students and their families for your open-hearted generosity

NATHAN DELIVERS A POWERFUL MESSAGEA couple of weeks ago Mrs Brown initiated contact with Trinity ex-student Nathan Parker which led to Nathan coming to the College to speak to a Year 10 and a Year 8 group of students Nathan whose story appeared in the recent Lismore edition of the Echo was severely injured in an ADFA bus crash last year an accident which at the time threw his lifelong goal of being an Airforce pilot into question
Nathanrsquos presentation about resilience focused on his journey to recovery and it was simply inspirational The students were intensely interested in this person who only late last year they were asked to pray for in Tutor groups Nathan gave some very simple recommendations on how to approach problems that seem too immense to even contemplate and his attitude is best summed up in the verse that appears on his business card
The simple fact is that some times in life just donrsquot go to plan I choose to face all my challenges daily and Irsquom just getting started Nathan Parker
TEEN PARTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND CYBER ISSUESNext Wednesday Year 9 students will attend a presentation by our Police Schoolsrsquo Liaison Officer on the topic of teen partying and associated issues I expect that it will be legalistic in nature and will not touch on some of the things I alluded to in the letter I sent to parents of Year 9 students a few weeks ago The Officer will present a similar session to interested parents on Wednesday evening at the College and it will be a good opportunity for parents to get together and discuss both the legal and non-legal aspect of teen partying This evening presentation is predominately tailored to parents of Year 9-11 students but is open to all parents You are encouraged to come along and to share your wisdom

Be Your Best
BE YOUR BESTBe your Best is an incentive program to encourage all students to be the best person they can Each fortnight teachers are asked to notice students who are displaying the focus quality and to distribute about 4 tokens to each of their classes The focus qualities change from fortnight to fortnight cycling through Being Respectful Being Responsible Being Reconciling Being Just and Fair and Being Hopeful All of these comprise the values that we nurture in our students within our classes
When students receive a token they place it in the Token box at the office of their Head of House Twice per term each House makes two draws from the Token box and those whose tokens are drawn are awarded a $20 canteen voucher The tokens are all kept and on the last day of the school year 5 tokens are drawn from all the tokens collected throughout the year with the lucky owners winning an iPad each
Congratulations to the students listed below who received tokens during the first 5 weeks of this term

Be Your Best
BE YOUR BESTBe your Best is an incentive program to encourage all students to be the best person they can Each fortnight teachers are asked to notice students who are displaying the focus quality and to distribute about 4 tokens to each of their classes The focus qualities change from fortnight to fortnight cycling through Being Respectful Being Responsible Being Reconciling Being Just and Fair and Being Hopeful All of these comprise the values that we nurture in our students within our classes
When students receive a token they place it in the Token box at the office of their Head of House Twice per term each House makes two draws from the Token box and those whose tokens are drawn are awarded a $20 canteen voucher The tokens are all kept and on the last day of the school year 5 tokens are drawn from all the tokens collected throughout the year with the lucky owners winning an iPad each
Congratulations to the students listed below who received tokens during the first 5 weeks of this term

Thank you all so much for your kind and generous support of the Fiji Appeal The response was outstanding and we had an incredible variety of good quality second-hand gear as well as many items which had obviously been purchased specifically for this Appeal including books pens coloured pencils towels and other bathroom items and two boxes full of brand-new mosquito nets It was wonderful to be able to donate these items to people who have lost so much and to have gathered them in such a short time frame was amazing
Thank you to all the students and their families for your open-hearted generosity
