Daffodil Day at Saints On Friday 25 August millions of people around Australia were getting behind the Cancer Councilrsquos Daffodil Day campaign This worthy campaign involved volunteers selling pins pens wristbands little bears and daffodils in an effort to raise much needed money to support researchers in their search for a cure for cancer Closer to home here at St Augustinersquos College our committed team of volunteers were busy doing their bit in the fundraising efforts for the entire week leading up to Daffodil
Day
Boys from all year levels volunteered their time during lunch breaks to walk around and sell merchandise Students were also asked to register their names to pre-order daffodils and to think about their mothers aunties girlfriends and friends It was also a time to remember those struggling and to consider buying flowers for them as a gesture to simply brighten their day
In our College community we have had students and staff members who have been personally touched by cancer As a community we have tried to be there for those struggling through tough times and will continue to provide support Through Daffodil Day we can also take the opportunity to remember and talk about the ones wersquove lost to cancer or those who may have been diagnosed with the disease
This year the Saints community raised over $4500 which far exceeded the expectation of organisers More than 2100 flowers were sold and distributed on Daffodil Day where staff and students dressed in yellow It was a truly glorious sight to see the yellow blooms leave the College grounds The generosity and family spirit displayed by all was an amazing act of solidarity for those in our wider community who have been touched by cancer
Many thanks to those who gave generously of their money time and energy to make the week such a success

FATHERS DAY ASSEMBLY
Recognising the Role of FathersldquoA father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to berdquo - Frank A ClarkOn 31 August St Augustinersquos College held its annual Fatherrsquos Day Assembly This celebration of paternal nurture focused on the role that fathers have in raising sons as Saints is an all-boys school An address by the Acting Principal Mr Frazer Rigby outlined the key traits that are inherent in fathers such as warmth love guidance and intelligence Following this Year 11 student Joseph Musumeci gave a speech emphasising the growth-conducive nature of his own father stating that Fatherrsquos Day was needed ldquoto remind everyone to give appreciation and show gratitude for the care and love that only a father can shower upon his childrenrdquo Corroborating this sentiment the Growing Good Men father-son bonding camp was promoted on Assembly with testimonies from both a student and his father
Following the festivities which saw the Saints Percussion Ensemble perform a unique piece using only stools and drum sticks the fathers in attendance and their sons processed onto the verandah of Lennon Hall where they enjoyed a light lunch One attendee 85 year-old Carlo Fomiatti graduated from St Augustinersquos 70 years ago He stated that it was a great
opportunity to admire how the College had evolved since his attendance The paternal sentiment of the day was further corroborated by Year 11 student Angus Moore who said ldquothe day to day responsibilities and actions of my father can never truly be recognised enough to do them justice This day has paid tribute to the more obtuse things Dad has done for merdquo
Overall the St Augustinersquos Fatherrsquos Day Assembly was a resounding success with the atmosphere of the day conveying a sentiment of gratitude for some of the most important figures in a young personrsquos life Joseph Krebs Year 12 student

MISSION CENTRALOn Saturday 12 August four Year 12 students were presented with the opportunity to participate in the Rosies Community Out-Reach Program with Mrs Schofield and Mr Ward This involved helping to pack the vans at their headquarters before heading to the area outside the Cairns Council Chambers where we handed out food drink blankets and other essentials that those who have found themselves on the street need
Each of the volunteers came out of the experience having both a greater appreciation for what we have and a greater empathy towards those not as fortunate as ourselves More importantly we gained a heightened respect and insight into the great work that Rosies do for our community It was a humbling experience and we are all thankful to have shared in it

This term has seen our last Robotics competition of the year set at Bentley Park College last Saturday 2 September The Saints Robotics Club entered four teams in two different events
Event 1 Autonomous pre-programmed dragsterbots were raced along a drag strip of approximately 10 metres in length Dragsterbots were timed over the distance and the best two recorded times from two attempts were used to determine which teams made the finals of the drag race competition Two programs were required of the dragsterbot One was a five second delay before the dragsterbot commences the other is a light sensor activation Event 2 Racerbots were driven around a designated flat track (defined by rope barriers) in the shortest possible time Teams were given one attempt to set a qualifying time before moving into the finals All of the racerbots were controlled via Bluetooth phones or tablets but one of our teams (Liam Prestipino and Hayden Peut in Year 7) created their own impressive controller out of an EV3 Brick Liam and Hayden came 4th overall under the expert
driving skills of Liam Team Kake (Year 9 students Max Gadd Liam Sands and Corey Long) came short of the runner-up position by 05 seconds with Max navigating the course with ease

MISSION CENTRALOn Saturday 12 August four Year 12 students were presented with the opportunity to participate in the Rosies Community Out-Reach Program with Mrs Schofield and Mr Ward This involved helping to pack the vans at their headquarters before heading to the area outside the Cairns Council Chambers where we handed out food drink blankets and other essentials that those who have found themselves on the street need
Each of the volunteers came out of the experience having both a greater appreciation for what we have and a greater empathy towards those not as fortunate as ourselves More importantly we gained a heightened respect and insight into the great work that Rosies do for our community It was a humbling experience and we are all thankful to have shared in it

The mission of St Augustinersquos boarding is to provide a quality caring environment to aid the education of children of remote families in Northern Australia In my role as Director of Boarding one of the highlights of the boarding calendar is the opportunity to visit remote communities and meet the families that send their children into our boarding community These visits allow us to build relationships develop an understanding of the sacrifices families make for their children to attend Saints interview perspective boarders and to have an enjoyable and relaxed dinner with current families Our recent visit to Nhulunbuy and Alyangula occurred on Thursday 24 August to Sunday 27 August Brother Roger Fr Laurie Mr Stephen King and I along with Mrs Rosa Lanzo the Deputy from St Monicarsquos College were privileged to be able to have dinner with the families from Alyangula on Friday night and Nhulunbuy on Saturday night Alyangula continues to be an area we enjoy a strong relationship with as over 40 people from 18 families attended the dinner Nhulunbuy was more intimate and just as enjoyable with 15 people at the Walkabout Lodge for dinner The Saints boarding community is very grateful to all the families in the Gove and Groote Eylandt regions for their ongoing support I would like to extend a special thank you to Jodie and Steven Huggett and their son Blake Huggett himself an old boy of the College who helped with transport and organised a fishing trip for us while in Alyangula Also

This term has seen our last Robotics competition of the year set at Bentley Park College last Saturday 2 September The Saints Robotics Club entered four teams in two different events
Event 1 Autonomous pre-programmed dragsterbots were raced along a drag strip of approximately 10 metres in length Dragsterbots were timed over the distance and the best two recorded times from two attempts were used to determine which teams made the finals of the drag race competition Two programs were required of the dragsterbot One was a five second delay before the dragsterbot commences the other is a light sensor activation Event 2 Racerbots were driven around a designated flat track (defined by rope barriers) in the shortest possible time Teams were given one attempt to set a qualifying time before moving into the finals All of the racerbots were controlled via Bluetooth phones or tablets but one of our teams (Liam Prestipino and Hayden Peut in Year 7) created their own impressive controller out of an EV3 Brick Liam and Hayden came 4th overall under the expert
driving skills of Liam Team Kake (Year 9 students Max Gadd Liam Sands and Corey Long) came short of the runner-up position by 05 seconds with Max navigating the course with ease

Daffodil Day at Saints On Friday 25 August millions of people around Australia were getting behind the Cancer Councilrsquos Daffodil Day campaign This worthy campaign involved volunteers selling pins pens wristbands little bears and daffodils in an effort to raise much needed money to support researchers in their search for a cure for cancer Closer to home here at St Augustinersquos College our committed team of volunteers were busy doing their bit in the fundraising efforts for the entire week leading up to Daffodil
Day
Boys from all year levels volunteered their time during lunch breaks to walk around and sell merchandise Students were also asked to register their names to pre-order daffodils and to think about their mothers aunties girlfriends and friends It was also a time to remember those struggling and to consider buying flowers for them as a gesture to simply brighten their day
In our College community we have had students and staff members who have been personally touched by cancer As a community we have tried to be there for those struggling through tough times and will continue to provide support Through Daffodil Day we can also take the opportunity to remember and talk about the ones wersquove lost to cancer or those who may have been diagnosed with the disease
This year the Saints community raised over $4500 which far exceeded the expectation of organisers More than 2100 flowers were sold and distributed on Daffodil Day where staff and students dressed in yellow It was a truly glorious sight to see the yellow blooms leave the College grounds The generosity and family spirit displayed by all was an amazing act of solidarity for those in our wider community who have been touched by cancer
Many thanks to those who gave generously of their money time and energy to make the week such a success

FATHERS DAY ASSEMBLY
Recognising the Role of FathersldquoA father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to berdquo - Frank A ClarkOn 31 August St Augustinersquos College held its annual Fatherrsquos Day Assembly This celebration of paternal nurture focused on the role that fathers have in raising sons as Saints is an all-boys school An address by the Acting Principal Mr Frazer Rigby outlined the key traits that are inherent in fathers such as warmth love guidance and intelligence Following this Year 11 student Joseph Musumeci gave a speech emphasising the growth-conducive nature of his own father stating that Fatherrsquos Day was needed ldquoto remind everyone to give appreciation and show gratitude for the care and love that only a father can shower upon his childrenrdquo Corroborating this sentiment the Growing Good Men father-son bonding camp was promoted on Assembly with testimonies from both a student and his father
Following the festivities which saw the Saints Percussion Ensemble perform a unique piece using only stools and drum sticks the fathers in attendance and their sons processed onto the verandah of Lennon Hall where they enjoyed a light lunch One attendee 85 year-old Carlo Fomiatti graduated from St Augustinersquos 70 years ago He stated that it was a great
opportunity to admire how the College had evolved since his attendance The paternal sentiment of the day was further corroborated by Year 11 student Angus Moore who said ldquothe day to day responsibilities and actions of my father can never truly be recognised enough to do them justice This day has paid tribute to the more obtuse things Dad has done for merdquo
Overall the St Augustinersquos Fatherrsquos Day Assembly was a resounding success with the atmosphere of the day conveying a sentiment of gratitude for some of the most important figures in a young personrsquos life Joseph Krebs Year 12 student

MISSION CENTRALOn Saturday 12 August four Year 12 students were presented with the opportunity to participate in the Rosies Community Out-Reach Program with Mrs Schofield and Mr Ward This involved helping to pack the vans at their headquarters before heading to the area outside the Cairns Council Chambers where we handed out food drink blankets and other essentials that those who have found themselves on the street need
Each of the volunteers came out of the experience having both a greater appreciation for what we have and a greater empathy towards those not as fortunate as ourselves More importantly we gained a heightened respect and insight into the great work that Rosies do for our community It was a humbling experience and we are all thankful to have shared in it

MISSION CENTRALOn Saturday 12 August four Year 12 students were presented with the opportunity to participate in the Rosies Community Out-Reach Program with Mrs Schofield and Mr Ward This involved helping to pack the vans at their headquarters before heading to the area outside the Cairns Council Chambers where we handed out food drink blankets and other essentials that those who have found themselves on the street need
Each of the volunteers came out of the experience having both a greater appreciation for what we have and a greater empathy towards those not as fortunate as ourselves More importantly we gained a heightened respect and insight into the great work that Rosies do for our community It was a humbling experience and we are all thankful to have shared in it

The mission of St Augustinersquos boarding is to provide a quality caring environment to aid the education of children of remote families in Northern Australia In my role as Director of Boarding one of the highlights of the boarding calendar is the opportunity to visit remote communities and meet the families that send their children into our boarding community These visits allow us to build relationships develop an understanding of the sacrifices families make for their children to attend Saints interview perspective boarders and to have an enjoyable and relaxed dinner with current families Our recent visit to Nhulunbuy and Alyangula occurred on Thursday 24 August to Sunday 27 August Brother Roger Fr Laurie Mr Stephen King and I along with Mrs Rosa Lanzo the Deputy from St Monicarsquos College were privileged to be able to have dinner with the families from Alyangula on Friday night and Nhulunbuy on Saturday night Alyangula continues to be an area we enjoy a strong relationship with as over 40 people from 18 families attended the dinner Nhulunbuy was more intimate and just as enjoyable with 15 people at the Walkabout Lodge for dinner The Saints boarding community is very grateful to all the families in the Gove and Groote Eylandt regions for their ongoing support I would like to extend a special thank you to Jodie and Steven Huggett and their son Blake Huggett himself an old boy of the College who helped with transport and organised a fishing trip for us while in Alyangula Also

This term has seen our last Robotics competition of the year set at Bentley Park College last Saturday 2 September The Saints Robotics Club entered four teams in two different events
Event 1 Autonomous pre-programmed dragsterbots were raced along a drag strip of approximately 10 metres in length Dragsterbots were timed over the distance and the best two recorded times from two attempts were used to determine which teams made the finals of the drag race competition Two programs were required of the dragsterbot One was a five second delay before the dragsterbot commences the other is a light sensor activation Event 2 Racerbots were driven around a designated flat track (defined by rope barriers) in the shortest possible time Teams were given one attempt to set a qualifying time before moving into the finals All of the racerbots were controlled via Bluetooth phones or tablets but one of our teams (Liam Prestipino and Hayden Peut in Year 7) created their own impressive controller out of an EV3 Brick Liam and Hayden came 4th overall under the expert
driving skills of Liam Team Kake (Year 9 students Max Gadd Liam Sands and Corey Long) came short of the runner-up position by 05 seconds with Max navigating the course with ease

The mission of St Augustinersquos boarding is to provide a quality caring environment to aid the education of children of remote families in Northern Australia In my role as Director of Boarding one of the highlights of the boarding calendar is the opportunity to visit remote communities and meet the families that send their children into our boarding community These visits allow us to build relationships develop an understanding of the sacrifices families make for their children to attend Saints interview perspective boarders and to have an enjoyable and relaxed dinner with current families Our recent visit to Nhulunbuy and Alyangula occurred on Thursday 24 August to Sunday 27 August Brother Roger Fr Laurie Mr Stephen King and I along with Mrs Rosa Lanzo the Deputy from St Monicarsquos College were privileged to be able to have dinner with the families from Alyangula on Friday night and Nhulunbuy on Saturday night Alyangula continues to be an area we enjoy a strong relationship with as over 40 people from 18 families attended the dinner Nhulunbuy was more intimate and just as enjoyable with 15 people at the Walkabout Lodge for dinner The Saints boarding community is very grateful to all the families in the Gove and Groote Eylandt regions for their ongoing support I would like to extend a special thank you to Jodie and Steven Huggett and their son Blake Huggett himself an old boy of the College who helped with transport and organised a fishing trip for us while in Alyangula Also

Event 1 Autonomous pre-programmed dragsterbots were raced along a drag strip of approximately 10 metres in length Dragsterbots were timed over the distance and the best two recorded times from two attempts were used to determine which teams made the finals of the drag race competition Two programs were required of the dragsterbot One was a five second delay before the dragsterbot commences the other is a light sensor activation Event 2 Racerbots were driven around a designated flat track (defined by rope barriers) in the shortest possible time Teams were given one attempt to set a qualifying time before moving into the finals All of the racerbots were controlled via Bluetooth phones or tablets but one of our teams (Liam Prestipino and Hayden Peut in Year 7) created their own impressive controller out of an EV3 Brick Liam and Hayden came 4th overall under the expert

MISSION CENTRALOn Saturday 12 August four Year 12 students were presented with the opportunity to participate in the Rosies Community Out-Reach Program with Mrs Schofield and Mr Ward This involved helping to pack the vans at their headquarters before heading to the area outside the Cairns Council Chambers where we handed out food drink blankets and other essentials that those who have found themselves on the street need
Each of the volunteers came out of the experience having both a greater appreciation for what we have and a greater empathy towards those not as fortunate as ourselves More importantly we gained a heightened respect and insight into the great work that Rosies do for our community It was a humbling experience and we are all thankful to have shared in it

The mission of St Augustinersquos boarding is to provide a quality caring environment to aid the education of children of remote families in Northern Australia In my role as Director of Boarding one of the highlights of the boarding calendar is the opportunity to visit remote communities and meet the families that send their children into our boarding community These visits allow us to build relationships develop an understanding of the sacrifices families make for their children to attend Saints interview perspective boarders and to have an enjoyable and relaxed dinner with current families Our recent visit to Nhulunbuy and Alyangula occurred on Thursday 24 August to Sunday 27 August Brother Roger Fr Laurie Mr Stephen King and I along with Mrs Rosa Lanzo the Deputy from St Monicarsquos College were privileged to be able to have dinner with the families from Alyangula on Friday night and Nhulunbuy on Saturday night Alyangula continues to be an area we enjoy a strong relationship with as over 40 people from 18 families attended the dinner Nhulunbuy was more intimate and just as enjoyable with 15 people at the Walkabout Lodge for dinner The Saints boarding community is very grateful to all the families in the Gove and Groote Eylandt regions for their ongoing support I would like to extend a special thank you to Jodie and Steven Huggett and their son Blake Huggett himself an old boy of the College who helped with transport and organised a fishing trip for us while in Alyangula Also
thank you to Terese and Brendan Marchesi in Nhulunbuy who gave us lifts to and from the airport and the arts centre We are fortunate to have such great advocates and welcoming families involved in our boarding community Best wishes to all of our boarding families for a wonderful holiday with their sons and daughtersGlen Seivers Director of Boarding
