Vision for Mission – to form “Good Christians and

Good Citizens” “We aim at something better, to give them Christian spirit, attitudes and virtues possessed by good Christians and good citizens.” (In the footsteps of Marcellin). Newman College is a Catholic school founded on faith in Jesus Christ. Integral to this is the lived expression of the charism of Saint Marcellin Champagnat. Priority is given to enriching the Religious Education Curriculum and its role in the spiritual and academic formation of students, staff and wider community. Our Vision for Mission – to form “Good Christians and Good Citizens” is designed to provide our College Community with a framework through which to engage and live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is inspired by Scripture and the Catholic Social Teachings and is underpinned by our methodology of Experience, Discernment, Reflection and Action. Staff, students and families are invited to participate in our mission through four key areas:

Evangelisation: Opening the community to the

presence of God in their life with a Marist lens, allowing them to reflect on the relationship between faith and life.

Religious Education: The curriculum

integrates knowledge and faith experience,

encouraging questions and reflection on the

interaction between religion and life.

Community Outreach and Advocacy: Seeking

and opening opportunities for service and community engagement which stimulates a passion for social justice.

Parish Life: Actively engaging in partnership with

parishes in the Archdiocese of Perth through the sacramental life of the Church.

Our Marist theme for 2021 is Breathe: The Spirit of life and is

inspired by Romans 8:2 “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus

has set you free”.

As we breathe-in, we feed and nourish our physical bodies and

nurture our inner life. But we cannot hold our breath. After being

fuelled by the breath of the love of God we are compelled to

breathe-out, to give life to others and creation. This year let us be conscious of our need to be attentive to the

Spirit of life, to be a source of fresh air and life as a Church for the world.

To accompany our Marist theme, Sharon Williams

(Santa Teresa, NT) created ‘Creation and the

Universe’.

This piece reflects creation being about everything

in the universe. Everything Ngkarte (God) has put

here and all things have Ngkartele Utnenge (God’s

Spirit) in them. We are all part of what we call

‘creation’ – we are all connected because we all

have Ngkartele Utnenge in us. We humans are very

blessed because we can share in Ngkarte’s

creating. It is very precious to be able to share in

Ngkarte’s creating in our universe.

Vision for Learning

Our Vision for Learning ‘Shine through Discovery’ – Let your light shine (Matthew 5:16) inspires our

faith and learning community to Challenge, Collaborate, Create and Celebrate who we are and what

we seek to achieve. By promoting education in the Marist tradition we, at Newman College, strive to

animate our delivery of learning, teaching and wellbeing.

Challenge: At Newman College we continually

challenge ourselves to boldly embrace a learning

pathway of discovery beyond the classroom to

contribute to positive change in our global

community.

In an ever-changing society, people need formation,

perseverance, and confidence to meet challenges to

become resilient learners who are willing to take

risks to work towards their goals.

Within a safe and positive learning environment,

students have the courage to challenge themselves

and each other in the development of their faith and

their ability to learn.

Student commitments

• Understand goal setting strategies to set

challenging and achievable goals

• Strive for individual and collective

excellence

• Respond with innovation and passion

towards their learning

• Demonstrate voice, resilience, and agility to

challenges and opportunities

• Adopt a growth mindset and believe their

abilities can improve over time

Collaborate: At Newman College, we seek to

foster innovation and creativity through

contemporary and authentic educational

experiences. In our school where students, ‘Shine

Through Discovery’, the development of critical and

creative thinkers encourages lifelong learning. The

promotion of a growth mindset encourages learning

that is experiential and builds confidence to

encounter the complexities of today’s world.

Student commitments

• Take risk in their leaning

• Students by developing critical and creative

thinking skills as they learn to generate and

and ideas, seek possibilities, consider

alternatives, and solve problems

• Students think about thinking

(metacognition), reflect on actions and

processes, and transfer knowledge into new

contexts to create alternatives and

possibilities.

• Apply knowledge gained in one context to

clarify another

Create: At Newman College, we believe that

education and learning are interactive, social

processes. We believe that students learn best in a

safe environment where they can encounter the

curriculum, therefore achieving knowledge, skills and

capabilities. Effective collaboration between

teachers, parents and students is ongoing, authentic

and an integral part of daily routines.

Teachers create learning environments that

maximise discussion, collaboration and feedback

that personalises learning for each student. Student

voice plays a major role in engagement and self-

reflection and empowers students as collaborators in

their learning.

Collaboration between teachers contributes to

school improvement and student success. Teachers

share their practice, learn from, and have a positive

impact on each other.

Student commitments

• Are open to learning the skills of

collaboration which are taught in

developmentally appropriate ways and

foster respectful relationships

• Respond to feedback, in partnership with

their peers and teachers, to maximise their

learning growth

• Develop their interpersonal and presentation

skills, acknowledge the voice of their peers,

and promote effective working relationships

4

Celebrate: At Newman College, we shine through celebration of our faith, achievements, effort and

contribution. Celebration builds strong communities and plays a major role in social emotional and academic

growth, learning and faith development. It encourages a sense of belonging, group coherence and purpose.

In celebrating, we encourage intrinsic motivation to develop the attributes of courage and dedication, to

achieve our full potential.

To enrich the success of our community we celebrate the gifts, talents and achievements of each member

and acknowledge the role that self-discipline, perseverance and determination contribute to striving for

individual and collective excellence.

Student commitments

• acknowledge and respect the gifts and talents of themselves and their peers

• serve the College community by participating wholeheartedly in faith and learning initiatives.

• strive towards personal excellence in their contribution to the College community, their learning and

in the interactions with others

• strive towards mastery of skill

About Newman College

Founder of the Marist Brothers - St Marcellin Champagnat

St Marcellin Champagnat (1789 – 1840), a priest of the Society of Mary, was a man of warm personality, deep faith and great vision. The Christian education of youth, particularly those in rural areas, was his first love, following the terrible religious persecutions of the French Revolution. That is why he founded the Marist Brothers in 1817 at La Valla, a little village in the Loire region of France.

Recognising real needs, Marcellin placed all his faith in Jesus and Mary, and “started work”. He trained his Brothers carefully, opened Colleges, took in orphans, taught trades to the poor, ran a hostel for the aged, tended the sick and sent Brothers as missionaries to Oceania where he would have loved to have gone himself if circumstances had allowed.

Marcellin had to face the criticism of those who did not share his vision or enthusiasm, but such was the charisma of the man that he won through, though at great cost to his health. He died, worn out by his work and sufferings, but not before he had bequeathed to the world a vigorous and

dedicated Institute of Brothers who still bear witness to Christ in the Champagnat way. Champagnat was canonised on 18 April 1999.

St Marcellin Champagnat’s Feast Day is celebrated on 6 June.

History of Newman College Newman College traces its origins to 1913 when the Benedictine Monks at

New Norcia invited the Marist Brothers to Western Australia to staff their

newly established boarding college, St Ildephonsus.

A more direct link also exists with a later Marist foundation, St Joseph's -

Subiaco, which opened in February 1954. It was due to the rapid growth of

this latter College that the move to Churchlands was first discussed.

• In 1965, when the move eventually took place, the Benedictines resumed responsibility for St

Ildephonsus, changing its name to Salvado College. Many of the Brothers and senior boarders from

New Norcia transferred to the new Marist College at Churchlands.

• In 1977, the Newman System of schools was established to restructure Catholic education in the area by

bringing together the schools administered by the Brigidine and Dominican Sisters and the Marist

Brothers.

• The name of Newman was chosen in recognition of the great religious thinker and leader of the 19th

Century, Cardinal John Henry Newman. He was canonised a Saint on 13 October 2019. Newman

College is the only school in Australia named after John Henry Newman.

• The Primary and Secondary schools were amalgamated in 2005 to form a K-12 College. This involved

the relocation of Years 8 and 9 students from Doubleview to the

Churchlands Campus and the appointment of one Principal for the

Kindergarten to Year 12 College entity.

• In 2009, the Year 7 cohort relocated from the Primary School

(Lavalla Campus) to the Middle School (Marcellin Campus). In

2010, the Year 3 cohort relocated from Early Childhood (Marian

Campus) to the Primary School (Lavalla Campus).

• In 2011, the first intake of 3-year-old Pre-Kindergarten students

commenced at the Marian Campus.

College Name - St John Henry Newman

Newman lived in the 19th Century; he was a theologian, poet and priest.

But what he was revered for was his pursuit of academic excellence as a

writer and critical thinker. His prolific writing focused on the search for

truth and the freedom of conscience. Newman’s writings fostered

community and prioritised education. He sought to inspire people to do

the same in a time of great division and inequality between social

classes, men and women, countries and more specifically between

Catholics and Protestants.

On 13 October 2019, Pope Francis presided over mass in front of over

60,000 people in a sun-drenched St. Peter’s Square where he declared

Newman a saint, along with four women saints. Thousands of people

from schools, universities and churches from countries across Europe

and North America were there to honour him.

Newman’s writing promoted inclusion, underpinned by the notion of human dignity:

It is a call on every one of us, not as simply the better way, but as a matter of life and death, to cherish a

personal affection for each other, and to show all kind, attentive and humble service to each other; and in

this great duty the difference between superiors and their subjects, old and the young, men and women,

simply vanishes; these differences cannot exist.

St John Henry Newman’s invitation to us is to live our life to be one of humble service and affection to each

other.

St John Henry Newman’s Feast Day is celebrated on 9 October.

Factions – Years 3-6 In the Primary School, students are assigned to one of four factions for sporting activities. Each faction is named after a significant person from our heritage of the amalgamation of Marist and Brigidine Primary Schools.

Marcellin: (Blue) Named after St Marcellin Champagnat, founder of the Marist Brothers.

Delany: (Red) Named after Bishop Daniel Delany, founder of the Brigidine Sisters.

Knox: (Green) Named after Cardinal James Robert Knox, Perth-born, educated by Marist Brothers.

Brigid: (Yellow) Named after St Brigid of Ireland, Patron of the Brigidine Sisters.

Guilds – Years 7-12 Brigid St Brigid of Ireland was born about the year 450 in a place called Faughart on the east coast of Ireland. A Christian by birth through her mother, a slave, she was also knowledgeable of the Druid ways of her father. With several other young women, she began Ireland’s first convent of nuns and eventually became an abbess governing both women and men. She is a patron saint of Ireland.

Camara Dom Helder Camara (1909-1999) was born in north-east Brazil in a region of notorious rural poverty. He was one of 13 children, of whom only 4 lived to adulthood. He was ordained a priest at 21 years of age and in 1964, was made Archbishop of Recife. His work with the poor and oppressed in Latin America was well known and often the cause of the trouble he found himself in. Words such as action, justice and peace were commonly associated with him. Those who met Dom Camara were not so much impressed by his theological or political wisdom, although he had immeasurable influence in both areas, but by his compassion, his warmth, his down-to earth attitude. He was also known as a “friend to the poor”, working to make their lives easier. He retired at the age of 75 to continue preaching and writing.

Catherine St Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) was born the 23rd of 24 children to the Benincasa family. As a girl of 16 she entered the Third Order of St Dominic. She worked for peace between cities, fought for the rights of the Pope in Rome, ministered to the poor and sick and was a dominant figure of the fourteenth century. Though semi-literate, her knowledge of mystical theology was such that she has been named a Doctor of the Church, one of only two women with that title, and she is the co-patron saint (along with St Francis of Assisi) of Italy.

8

Guilds – Years 7-12 Chisholm Caroline (Jones) Chisholm (1808-1877), the Emigrants’ Friend. Born on a farm near Northampton, England in 1808, Caroline married Archibald Chisholm, a Scottish soldier in the East India Company’s army and was the mother of seven children. Archibald promised to support Caroline in her determination to help people in need. She set up hostels and arranged employment for young girls and families, even travelling miles overland with them to ensure the integrity of the employers. Caroline helped to found a scheme where emigrants could borrow money for fares to Australia and purchase land and equipment on arrival. Her achievements were the product of single-minded vision and compassion, augmented by a strong Christian faith. She helped thousands despite sectarian bitterness and little financial assistance.

MacKillop St Mary MacKillop, born of Scottish parents in Melbourne in 1842, founded, with Reverend Julian Tenison Woods, the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. Their vision brought to life a new and radical form of religious life that took the sisters in small groups to live in primitive dwellings among the pioneering people of the Australian bush. A woman before her time, she was forthright, assertive, loving, simple and intensely loyal to the Church, even when ex-communicated and removed from the leadership of her Congregation. Mary committed her life to the poor and destitute, establishing orphanages, refuges for women and children, and Colleges for poor and isolated children. Mary died in 1909.

Marcellin St Marcellin Champagnat (1789-1840) was born in France of peasant parents. He entered the priesthood and devoted his time to caring for youth. He joined the Order of Marist priests and founded the Marist Brothers now spread through over seventy countries around the world.

Romero Blessed Oscar Romero (1917-1980) was born in El Salvador. In 1977 he was made Archbishop of San Salvador. He became more aware of the injustices in his country, as more and more of his priests were killed because they tried to help the poor struggle for justice. Gradually he began to speak out for justice and against violence. Romero believed strongly that the Church must stand with the poor and speak up for their rights. He began to speak out more clearly against the death squads. On 24 March 1980, Archbishop Romero was shot and killed while he celebrated Mass at a hospital.

Thomas More St Thomas More (1477-1535) was a great English author, statesman and scholar. He served as Lord Chancellor, the highest judicial official in England from 1529 to 1532, but More resigned because he opposed King Henry VIII’s plan to divorce his queen. He was beheaded in 1535 for refusing to accept the king as head of the English Church. More has since become an example of the individual who places conscience above the claims of secular (non-religious) authority. The Roman Catholic Church declared him a saint in 1935.

Code of Conduct (Students) 1. Introduction

At Newman College we recognise that effective learning can only occur in a secure environment where

the rights and responsibilities of others are known and respected and where standards and rules are

fairly and consistently applied.

Managing the Code of Conduct is a shared responsibility between students, parents/guardians and the

community.

2. Rights and Responsibilities of Staff and Students

We have the right to:

• Reach our full learning potential in a safe and supportive environment

• Be treated with respect, courtesy and kindness

Code of Conduct (Parents) 1. Rationale

Catholic schools exist to further the mission of the Church. In Western Australia the Bishops’ Mandate

requires CEWA to make school education available to all Catholic children, as far as resources allow.

As a Marist school, Newman College has at its heart a distinctive spirituality. Marists commit themselves

to living the gospel of Jesus with the same faith, hope and compassion that Mary did.

The founder of the Marist Brothers, St Marcellin Champagnat, taught ‘to educate a child you must first

love them and love them equally’.

2. Context At Newman College we value our collaboration with families and guardians as we seek to establish relationships based on courtesy, mutual trust and open communication. Our Vision for Learning ‘Shine through Discovery’ – Let your light shine (Matthew 5:16) inspires our faith and learning community to Challenge, Collaborate, Create and Celebrate who we are and what we seek to achieve.

Newman College comprises a wide variety of individuals who work together to educate our students to

become confident, well-educated members of the community who are prepared to contribute as

citizens, to cooperate with others and act reflectively and ethically.

Our shared values and an understanding of acceptable behaviours enable the Newman College

Community to work together with respect and appreciation for each other.

At Newman College we recognise our legal obligation to ensure the ongoing health and safety of students, staff, and families within our community. We encourage parents and guardians to support our educational environment that exemplifies our Marist charism that encourages our students to grow into the fullness of their humanity where they feel welcomed, accepted and valued.

3. Principles 3.1 Newman College commits to providing a distinctly Catholic and Marist education for all

students PK-12. 3.2 The Code of Conduct sits in the context of Newman College’s commitment to upholding the

values of the Catholic Church and providing a safe and supportive educational environment for students within the College. As a result, families at Newman College should become advocates and models for Christian values and lifestyle.

3.3 All parents, guardians and caregivers (referred to in this Code as Parents) of students enrolled in the College are requested to support and encourage the College in developing and nurturing relationships grounded in Gospel values.

3.4 Membership of the Newman College community implies specific relationships between students, parents, staff and volunteers. This will include parent groups and sporting clubs of Newman Sports Association. These relationships are founded on core Gospel values. Acceptance, respect and dignity must, therefore, be accorded to every member of the College community. For example, bullying, intimidation or threats to other persons are counter to Marist and Christian values and will not be tolerated.

3.5 Newman College commits to fostering the dignity, self-esteem and integrity of every person. The provision of a safe and supportive environment is essential to ensure that all families, students and staff are affirmed in their dignity and worth as persons.

3.6 Newman College fulfils its mission in partnership with parents who are the first educators of their children. We recognise that Parents are valuable participants in our community and we want to work in partnership with Parents to provide and support the safe and competent education and care of students.

12

3.7 This Parent Code of Conduct sets out the way the College expects Parents to conduct themselves in their interaction with others in the College community including but not limited to our administrators, teaching staff, support staff and students.

3.8 It is a requirement that all Newman College families adhere to principles and practices as outlined in the College’s Enrolment Policy and Conditions of Enrolment, as signed by parents.

3.9 This Code of Conduct applies to all Parents and Caregivers.

4. Appropriate conduct As members and participants in the Newman College community parents shall respect the dignity, culture, values and beliefs of each member of the College community. They are expected to act in accordance with the values of the Gospel and conduct themselves in accordance with the appropriate standard relevant to their relationship with the College.

When engaging with the College, Parents shall:

4.1 refrain from engaging in malicious or judgmental gossip; 4.2 ensure that everything they say about others is fair, respectful and truthful; 4.3 value the dignity of each person; 4.4 refrain from any conduct that may be characterised as bullying, harassment, discrimination

or vilification; 4.5 ensure any complaint complies with the complaint process in this Code of Conduct; 4.6 use language which is impartial, respectful and honest and not offensive, insulting or

employees. 4.12 The College expects that all written and spoken communication from Parents to anyone in

the College community will be courteous and respectful. 4.13 ensure that relationships with students are strictly appropriate by avoiding any favouritism,

special treatment or exclusion; and 4.14 advise the College of any areas of potential conflict such as parenting and family court

orders in accordance with the relevant laws.

5. Social media There are ethical and legal issues with the use of social media that can be directly and indirectly damaging to the College and members of its community. When using social media, Parents are to:

5.1 be positive and respectful about the College, its staff and students; 5.2 avoid expressing grievances about the College; 5.3 make reasonable efforts to ensure that their children comply with the College's ICT Policy; 5.4 not post a photo or video recording of another student without the prior consent of the

student's Parent; 5.5 not post a photo or video recording of a staff member or Parent in any forum without their

College community.

13

6. Process for making a complaint

If a Parent wants to raise a complaint, they are required to comply with the complaint process in this

Code of Conduct.

Generally, issues of a minor nature should be raised with the child's teacher and or Leader of Wellbeing. More serious or complex matters should be raised with the relevant member of the Senior Leadership Team.

Parents may raise issues in a manner consistent with this Code of Conduct and concerns related to the education of their child or other matters related to the College. The College respects the rights of Parents to raise their issues or concerns. The College will respond to those issues or concerns with courtesy and respect, with a focus on resolving the matter in a timely manner. Parents are to accept that it may take up to two school days to receive a response to an email sent to a teacher, but telephone contact can be made where an urgent response is required.

7. Breaches of the Parent Code of Conduct The College requires that all Parents comply with this Code so that their behaviour contributes to a harmonious College community and provides a role model for their child's conduct at the College.

If a Parent does not act in accordance with this Code of Conduct, the staff member may:

7.1 request that the Parent refrain from the inappropriate conduct before communication can

resume; 7.2 advise the Parent that if the inappropriate conduct continues, there will be no further

communication; 7.3 request that another staff member be present to continue the communication or for any

future communication; and/or 7.4 lodge a complaint against the Parent with the Principal.

Where a Parent breaches the Code of Conduct, the Principal will determine the consequences which may include any of the following:

7.5 the Principal may restrict the Parent from entry to the College grounds or from attending

College-related events for a specified period; 7.6 direct that the Parent only communicate with the College through a nominated

representative; 7.7 report the conduct to other relevant authorities; and/or 7.8 where the breach is extreme or prolonged, the Principal may terminate the enrolment of the

Parent's child or children.

8. Summary

Parents are encouraged to discuss their preferences for their child's educational program; however,

all final decisions about subject enrolment, pathways, curriculum and student wellbeing will be made

by the Principal as per School Education Act 1999 – Sect 23.

Devices (Students Use of)

Context

Newman College acknowledges parents may wish their child to carry a mobile phone for personal safety

reasons however, the right of a student to have access to a mobile phone at the College must be balanced

with the responsibility to use it appropriately.

It is our policy that:

• Students at the Lavalla Campus must sign and return a Student Mobile Consent Form before they

are permitted to bring their mobile phones to school;

• Mobile phones are brought to school at the owner’s own risk. No liability will be accepted by the

College in the event of loss, theft or damage of the phone;

• No calls or messages are to be made or taken on mobile phones and/or devices between the hours

of 8.40am and 3.15pm, unless permission is given;

• As of 2021, mobile phones and/or devices cannot be carried by students throughout the school day

and must be switched off, or on silent and placed in their locker. Mobile phones that can be seen or

heard may be confiscated by the teacher and a consequence issued;

Staff should be alerted and exceptions requested if a student has special circumstances

requiring the use of their mobile phone and/or devices during school hours (e.g. health

issues), and seek permission from the Deputy Principal.

• Headphones/ear pods are not permitted to be used during the school day.

• Mobile phones and/or devices must not be brought into exams or class assessments as per our

Assessment Policy;

• Mobile phones must not be used inappropriately. Refer to our Bullying Prevention and Intervention,

Cyber Safety and Information and Communication Technology Policies;

• Phone cameras are not to be used within the College grounds unless express permission is granted

by a staff member for learning purposes. Phone use would be particularly inappropriate in any

change rooms or toilets;

• Students should never photograph or record any person without their express permission;

• Reports of all incidents of misuse of mobile phones will be recorded and retained on the student’s

file; and

• Parents are to be informed that in cases of emergency, the College remains an appropriate point of

contact to reach their child quickly.

Newman College seeks to provide students with the opportunity to manage and change their behaviour. The Behaviour Management Policy is founded on Respect.

• Respect for our faith: Acknowledge the faith journey of each person and share positively in the faith life

of our Marist school.

• Respect for others: Value differences in other people and respect all who work in the Newman

community.

• Respect for self: Value the talents we have and achieve to the best of our ability.

• Respect for learning: Contribute to a safe, orderly and productive learning environment. Interact

respectfully with teachers and peers.

• Respect for the College: Be proud of the College and show consideration for the property of others and

of the College.

Common Expectations of Students As outlined in the Behaviour Management Policy, the following expectations identify and articulate the College’s expectations regarding student conduct: 1. Act safely and competently.

2. Give priority to students’ safety and wellbeing in all your behaviour and decision-making.

11. Act reflectively and ethically.

12. Allow students to have a voice in their decision, safety and well-being.

Beliefs and Values Key to our policy is common beliefs about how we manage behaviour. We believe: 1. Students take responsibility for their behaviour. 2. Appropriate behaviour is acknowledged and celebrated. 3. Unacceptable behaviour has consequences, but it is always seen as an opportunity for students to learn. 4. Staff collaborate to maintain standards. 5. Staff model the respectful behaviour expected from students. 6. All consequences are just, educative and promote self-discipline and are restorative in nature. 7. All teachers share the responsibility for maintaining standards. 8. All students must be offered procedural fairness in all aspects of behaviour management.

Using the Student Diary

The Student Diary is an official Newman College document that enables communication between College staff, students and parents. The appropriate use and maintenance of the diary will be periodically monitored. The diary must not be drawn in nor contain any graffiti. The Diary is designed to help students (Years 3-10) organise their busy College life, as a record of their daily home study, deadlines for assignments, dates for tests and of times for revision. Remember that home study includes a weekly study/revision program as well as set work. The following suggestions may help students: 1. The Diary is used to record the following:

• set work

• assignment details and deadlines

• test dates

• when PE clothing is required 2. The Diary is to be taken home every night

and checked in the morning to ensure that students are prepared for the day.

3. Tasks and assignments should be marked off when completed. This helps students gain a sense of achievement and satisfaction from knowing that they are progressing through their tasks.

4. PCG/Classroom teacher will check the diary every week. If it is found to be in an unsuitable state, a new Diary will need to be purchased.

For students in Years 7-10 only: 1. The Diary must be taken to every class. 2. Use the Diary to ensure all deadlines are

met. Plan time carefully by allocating all tasks a time slot, or a series of time slots.

3. Parents are requested to sight and sign the Diary every week to ensure its effective use and to respond to staff comments.

4. The Diary also acts like a passport around the school. Whenever students are out of class for any reason, they must have the Diary with them, signed by their teacher/relevant member of staff, showing the date and time.

If the Diary is lost or damaged it must be replaced immediately; the cost is to be borne by the student. Students in Years 11-12 will use an electronic diary.

Prayer Resource Prayer Leader Here is a way to start:

Leader In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit All Amen Leader Let us remember that we are in the

presence of God

Pause

Leader Today’s prayer is on page ………. The name of the prayer is ……….

(i) We will pray this prayer together. Or

(ii) I will read this prayer (Prayer read slowly, clearly and

meaningfully) Here is a way to finish: Leader Mary our Good Mother All Pray for us Leader St Marcellin Champagnat All Pray for us Leader St John Henry Newman All Pray for us. Leader St Mary of the Cross All Pray for us. Leader And let us all remember to All Pray for one another. Amen.

Marcellin Champagnat Lord God, you raise up saints from age to age to speak anew your Word to us, to guide us in your ways. And so in days when the vision faded you inspired Marcellin Champagnat with a vision that leads towards you; in days when we can lose courage you give us a man of strength to walk before us with conviction; in days when our faith is assailed by winds of change you present us with a prophet whose faith remained firm. May Champagnat’s vision, strength and faith, so firmly fixed on those same virtues of Mary, our good Mother, continue to inspire us as we reach towards you in our daily lives. We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you amongst women, and Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Mary Mary you must have been a strong woman, aware of events and concerned about the sufferings of the oppressed. Mary help us not to be manipulated but let us be active and decisive participants in the events of the world. Mary you were complete in yourself, your identity was your own, may I have a sense of my real worth. When troubles plague my path and worries dog my step, remind me, like you, to ponder, reflect and pray about these things in my heart. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Mary Just as you said “yes” to what God asked of you, show me the way to respond as generously as you did. May I be able to see, and then say “yes” to taking on the role of being a good Christian and a good citizen. Amen.

Memorare Remember, O Most Loving Virgin Mary, that it has never been known that anyone who asked your protection, begged your help, or sought your intervention, was not heard. Full of confidence, therefore, I come to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of Christ, do not neglect my prayers but hear and grant them. Amen.

We Fly to Your Patronage We fly to your patronage, O holy Mother of God. Despise not our prayers in our necessities, But deliver us from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin Mary. Amen

Thanks

Lord god, too often in my prayers I ask for things and ask for help. It is good for me to stop and say “Thank You” for so many good things in life: my family, friends and relatives, opportunities to go to school, my hobbies and recreations, a good home and good health. You, O God, have given me many gifts and opportunities. May I always have a thankful heart.

Sancta Dei Genetrix. Sancta Dei Genetrix.

Nostras deprecationes ne despicias, ne despicias

in necessitatibus nostris, sed a periculis cunctis

The National Anthem

Australians all let us rejoice For we are young and free;

We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil; Our home is girt by sea;

Our land abounds in nature’s gifts Of beauty rich and rare;

In history’s page, let every stage Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross

We’ll toil with hearts and hands; To make this Commonwealth of ours

Renowned of all the lands; For those who’ve come across the seas

We’ve boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine

To Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing,

Advance Australia Fair.

Acknowledgement of Country (Heart Song)

This is our Country, this is our home united together, united as one Called to be of service, protectors of our land

We acknowledge our ancestors Upon whose land we stand

Here we stand firmly upon this red earth Blessed by the spirit, hope for rebirth The wind awakens, dancing across the land Together it joins us as we walk, hand in hand

Lightning strikes a chord in our heart Black cockatoo’s call into action we start With love guiding, called to action Help from above our moral sanction

Babaniny baaminy ngalang koort Karaak warangkiny woolah koorlinywa Moodiup kolbang Mardonabiny Maaman Yira barlanginy ba mardongabiny

Together we create a new song A song for a nation in which we all belong

A song deeply inspired by our Elders bursts free As we walk a path forward to a future, we all see

Nidja ngalang boodja ba mia Doonjdoonj keny moort, ba kwobidak koodah

Yoowarlkoorl doonjdoonj ngalang birdya nijda boodja Kooralang ngany moort ngalak kaditj Nidja ngalang yaak

Ten Attitudes of Marcellin

All People are basically good.

Understand what makes young people act as they do.

Challenge others to take a positive view

of young people.

Have a particular care for those less favoured by life.

The relationships between an adult and young person is that between

a big brother/sister and little brother/sister.

Unfailing kindness and patience work with the young.

Be close to young people, challenging them with gentleness and respect.

Express your sense of humour.

Working with young people is a call of the Gospel.

Bringing up young people is both a civic

and spiritual activity.
