ANZAC MEMORIES
Dear Parents, Students and Friends
This week the impact of the earthquake on the Nepalese people is becoming more apparent. The extent of this disaster will be slowly unfolding as more deaths are discovered and as we learn more about the impact on the people across the country. I encourage each family to contribute to the Caritas Appeal to help Nepal.
Our ANZAC Ceremony in the courtyard at school was organised by Sue Turner. This was a very simple ritual but one that speaks to every one of us about the reality war, the young deaths and the bravery of our soldiers. There would not have been a family in Australia at the time that was not hit by this war through casualty or death. Our Archivist Anna has researched the MCNS contribution to the Great War. Through newspapers and journals she has discovered that over one hundred from our community were involved in the war. This group consisted of parents, students and teachers associated with the College. Anna has included several stories about our ANZACS in this High Notes.
Last week Paul Dillon worked with the students from Years 10, 11 and 12. His message to each group is about safety; both their safety and the safety of their friends. Some of his stories and facts are chilling. Paul also spoke to a good group of our parents. He stressed the importance of good parenting in producing the safest outcomes for students. For more information please visit: http://darta.net.au/ At the beginning of the year I gave our students two challenges. One was about the uniform and that the wearing of shorts is a privilege. The other was about the importance of attending school everyday. The challenge about wearing the summer uniform well has not been taken up. I was very disappointed with the way the uniform was worn. We do not have a good approach to the
wearing of long socks in that they are either too small for the older boys or worn without garters. The summer uniform can look good but it takes a small effort. We are going to work to encourage the boys again during Term 4 to wear the summer uniform well. Unfortunately, if there is no improvement we will be forced to have to have long trousers during summer from Term 1 of 2016. The second challenge of attending school everyday was much more successful. At the end of Term 1, one third of our students had attended school everyday. Absentee lists this year appear shorter than in previous years. The research connects good attendance with good outcomes for students. Tony Duncan Headmaster

CHALLENGES
LIFE IS NOW – MAKE GOOD CHOICES
FROM THE DEPUTY HEADMASTER
Last week Mr.Duncan and I held meetings with Years 7 to 10 and the Senior Students separately. At the heart of the meeting was ensuring that students were focused on their studies and to discuss some areas of concern from Term 1, which we feel could be improved. The theme of the discussions was “Life is Now, Make Good Choices.” Students were reminded of the expectations of the College around our Code of Conduct. Good choices relate to deepening an understanding of the importance of CHRISTIAN RESPECT. Respect for Faith, Learning, Self, Others, and the College were highlighted. A focus was to elaborate on the fact that our LEARNINGS are enhanced through consistent attendance, strong organisational habits (College diary) and working hard. We discussed the value of working collaboratively and to make use of the Potential Group on a Wednesday afternoon to receive support with organisation, expanding their knowledge of concepts studied and making a start on assessments. Mr. Duncan reminded all students that we are all working to become the man that God wants us to be, and importantly that starts now. As a guide to making positive choices I shared a prayer, the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are the favourite prayer of my mother and provide a sense of the importance of how we can live our lives. Students were asked to focus on one or
two of the beatitudes and how they could bring the message behind this prayer in assisting them in making choices that are positive and respectful.
THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God
Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness
for they shall be satisfied Blessed are the merciful
for they shall obtain mercy Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God Blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called children of God Blessed are they who are persecuted for the
sake of righteousness for their is the Kingdom of heaven
Matthew 5:3-10

I write to you from the outskirts of St Chamond, France at Notre Dame de l'Hermitage - the spiritual home of the Marist Brothers. It is Day Sixteen of a twenty-three day Pilgrimage where Ms McGrath and I have travelled through the Holy Land, Rome and France, exploring sites of significance for the origins of Christianity, Catholicism and the institute of the Marist Brothers. There is a saying that you read the Bible in black and white, but after visiting the Holy Land, you live the Bible in vibrant colour. This is so true. Visiting places such as Bethany Beyond the Jordan - the traditional site of Jesus' Baptism, the Galilee region, the site of Jesus' public ministry and Jerusalem, where Jesus spent his final days, you start to walk with Jesus as these various accounts are proclaimed. We had the privilege of renewing our Baptismal Promises, walking the Stations of the Cross on the Via Dolorosa and celebrating a private Mass in the Tomb of Jesus in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Holy Land is a fascinating melting pot of cultures and religions and is a life changing experience. In Rome, we were based at the General House of the Marist Brothers, located in the suburb of EUR. We had the privilege of meeting and listening to the Superior General of the Marist Brothers, Br Emili Turú fms. We also got to tour the General House, including the Marist Archives facility and many beautiful Marist artifacts and chapels. It was wonderful to reunite with Australian Marist Brothers who are based in Rome including Br Tony Leon and Br Chris Wills.
The pilgrimage group attended a Papal General Audience at St Peter's and got extremely close to Pope Francis as he moved through an adoring crowd of Catholics from around the World. Our Marist group from Australia was welcomed over the P.A before we listened to the Holy Father's message in a variety of languages. Another major highlight was being granted special access to Vatican City State to view the Statue of St Marcellin Champagnat which is located directly opposite the Pope's residence. It is quite special to think that every time the Holy Father exits his residence, the first thing he sees is St Marcellin Champagnat! Some of us then ventured beneath St Peter's Basilica on the Scavi tour, where small groups can visit the exact location

EASTER LITURGY
where the remains of St Peter were discovered. In the next edition of High Notes, I will talk about our very special time in France and particularly Champagnat Country.
On the last day of last term, the College took part in a beautiful Easter Liturgy in the La Valla Hall. I am quite proud of our student Liturgy Committee who commenced preparations for this liturgy early in Term 1. The liturgy consisted of readings, prayers of the faithful, a dramatic account of the Passion and a beautiful song,
‘At the Foot of the Cross' sung by Roupen Minassian and accompanied on the guitar by Christopher O'Shea.
I would like to thank Mr Vafeas and his Year 11 Drama class for their outstanding work with the Drama component. The whole hall was moved by the solemnity of the occasion and it was a very fitting way to conclude the term and indeed, the Season of Lent as we entered the Sacred Paschal Triduum.

LEST WE FORGET ON THE OCCASION OF THE CENTENARY OF WW1 – MARIST COLLEGE ANZACS
On the 30th December 1915 The Catholic Press reported that ‘St Mary’s Old Boys Club, Ridge St (was) one of many Catholic institutions which has supplied its full quote of recruits’. At this stage in the conflict over 100 old boys had already enlisted, 11 of which had already made the ultimate sacrifice. This was a considerable effort considering the relative infancy of the school and clearly illustrates the tremendous sense of social responsibility and deep community values instilled by the Marist education. Included below are the brief stories of a few of our ANZACs. Sergeant Edward Rennix Larkin (M.L.A)- 321 - A popular member of the Legislative Assembly, Sergeant Larkin served with A Company, 1st Battalion, First Infantry Brigade. He was killed in action by bayonette wound in the Dardanelles. His passing was mourned by the wider community and articles reporting his contribution to the community were reported in newspapers throughout the state. Sergeant Larkin was awarded the 1914/15 Star, British War Medal, Victory Medal and Memorial Plaque.
Private Gilbert Joseph Aloysius Long - 3177- Private Long enlisted in the AIF in April 1916. He served with the 45th Battalion in France during which he was awarded the Millitary Medal for bravery in the field by His Majesty the King. This was reported in the London Gazette 25 January 1918. During his service he suffered many wounds and illnesses and recovered from all of them. He was also awarded the 1914-15 Star,
British War Medal and Victory Medal. Private Long was returned to Australia in February 1919 and was discharged in May. Sergeant Charles Stewart Fern (M.L.A.) – 4440 - Sergeant Fern was born 1 October 1884. He won a bursary whilst a student at Marist Brothers North Sydney. At the age of 18 he commenced his career on the mining fields and later, after developing an interest in politics, became the Member of the Legislative Council for Cobar. Sergeant Fern enlisted on 4 August 1915 and served with the 17th Battalion. He was invalided from the front whilst taking part in a gallant charge where he was injured by an enemy shell. In May 1916 Mrs Ruby May Fern (wife) received notification that Sergeant Fern was sick suffering from tuberculosis and would soon be returning to Australia. Sergeant Fern was discharged as medically unfit on November 6 1916 due to tuberculosis. Sergeant Fern died in April 1918 at home following a long illness complicated by shell shock and tuberculosis. He was awarded the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. His two brothers Sergeant Joseph Fern and Private Edward Fern also served in WWI.
Captain John Leo Fitzpatrick - VX104096 - Captain John Leo Fitzpatrick was born 26 July 1888. He enlisted in the AIF in July 1915 at the age of 26. Captain Fitzpatrick served in Gallipoli

Obituary.
Sergeant C. S. Fern, M.L.A.
iAfter a lingering 'illness, Sergeant Charles
IStuart Fern, M.L.A. for Cobar, died at his
)\ home at Lidcombe at midnight on Thursday,; fortified by the rites of Holy Church at the
7 hands of the Rev. Dr. M'Elligott.I His death was not unexpected, as, since his
n .1 n T V -1
jreturn rrom tne iront, wnere n-e received
i 6hell shock, he was affected wjith tuber
I culosis. According to, a message which tho\ family received from the Agent-General in
London at the time that Sergeant Fern was
invalided from the front, he w.as taking partin. a gallant- charge when he received the
effects of an enemy shell, and was subse
quently picked up on the. field sufferingfrom shock and exposure. His death was
due to the ailments then contracted. Sergt.Fern w.as born at the Glebe on October 1,
1884, and was therefore in his thirty-fourthyear, his parents being pioneer people fromScotland. He attended the Marist Brothers'school at North Sydney, and won a bursary,one of his teachers being Brother Osmond,now Director of St. Joseph's College.At the age of 18 he commenced his career
on the mining fields, obtaining employment-at Yerranderie. Eventually he becameminers' secretary, and organiser, and represented the men on arbitration boards. Itwas generally, acknowledged that he hadmade a, close .study of the mining laws. Hefirst entered politics by opposing the lateMr. M' Court for Wollondilly, but it was- a
hopeless task from the outset to capture'
such a strong Liberal seat, .and -Mr. Fern
was defeated. At the death of Mr. Donald
MacDonell in 1911, however, he was elected
unopposed for Cobar, and retained tho seat
up to the time of his death. He was one
of tho stalwarts of tho Labor party, and
was held in high esteem by all sections of
the House, his opponents never doubting the
sincerity of his political principles. Sergt.Fern is survived by his wife and four little
girls, the eldest of whom is 13 years of ago.

Simple and Effective Methods.
-By Olga Amsdell, Special Correspondent
London, Eng.
Why Have Grey Hair?
Few people know that grey hair is not a necessaryfeature of age— that it can be avoided without resorting to hair dyes. A very old home-made remedywill turn the hair back to a natural color in a few
days. It is only necessary to get from the chemisttwo ounces of concentrate of tammalite and mix it
with three ounces of bay nun. Apply this simplelotion to the hair for a few nights with a smallsponge and you will soon nave the pleasure oi' seeingthe greyness' disappear. This recipe is perfectly harm
less, is neither sticky nor greasy and has given perfectsatisfaction for many generations to those in possessionof the secret.
Blackheads, Oily Pores, etc.
The new sparkling face-bath treatment, rids the skin
of blackheads, oiliness and enlarged pores almost
instantly. It is perfectly harmless, pleasant and im
mediately effective. All you have to do is to drop a
stymol tablet, obtained from the chemist, in a glassof hot water, and after the resulting effervescence
has subsided dab the affected portions of the face
freely with the liquid. When you dry the face youwill find that the blackheads come right off on the
towel,' the large pores contract and efface themselvesand the greasiiiess is all gone, leaving the skin smooth,soft and cool. This treatment should be repeated n
few times at intervals of several divys in order to makesure, that the result shall be permanent.
The Rfflagr»etism of Beautiful Hair.
Beautiful hair adds immensely to the personalmagnetism of both men and women. Actresses andsmart women are ever on the look out for any harm
less thing that will increase the natural beauty of
their hair. The latest method is to use pure stallaxas a shampoo on account of the peculiar glossy,fluffy and wavy effect which it leaves. As stallax has
never been used much for this purpose it comes to
the chemist only in }lb. sealed original packages,enough for 25 or 30 shampoos. A teaspoonful of the
fragrant stallax granules, dissolved in a cup of hotwater, is more than sufficient for each shampoo.It is very beneficial and stimulating to the hair apartfrom its beautifying effect.
' --??'.
How to Remove a Bad Comprexion.Cosmetics can never really help a poor complexion;
often they are positively harmful. The sensible,rational way is to actually remove the thin veil of
stifling, half-dead scarf-skin from the face, and Rivethe fresh, vigrous and beautiful young skin underneath a chance to show itself and to breathe.
This is best done in a very simple way, by merelyapplying mercolised wax at night, like cold cream,and washing it off in the morning. Good, mercolised
wax can be obtained from any well-stocked chemist.It absorbs the disfiguring cuticle gradually and harm
lessly, leaving a brilliant natural complexion. Of
course, this also takes with it all such facial blemishesas red blotches, tan, moth patches, sallownees, .liverspots, pimples, etc. As a freckle remover and generalcomplexion beautifler this old-fashioned remedy is
unequalled.
The Powder PuffF Passes.
Every normal woman is always interested in anyplan by which she can quickly enhance her beauty,provided the plan is perfectly safe and simple. Ever
since the discovery that ordinary cleminite, such as
any chemist can supply, is an instantaneous and harmless beautifler. there, has been a growing demand for
it from smart women everywhere. They usually getabout an ounce and add just enough water to dissolve it. A little of this perfectly harmless lotion givesa beautiful complexion to any face instantly. Itrenders face powder quite unnecessary. Moreover, its
use cannot be detected. The skin is instantly beautified but appears perfectly natural under the closestscrutiny. ???-?-.' [3.

Edward Rennix Larkin
with the 18th Battalion and was wounded in the Dardanelles, eventually being returned to Australia on the “Star of Victoria.” He was discharged as medically unfit for a period of 6 months due to tuberculosis in April 1916. In 1917 it appears that he was re-joined and served briefly in Egypt after which he returned to Australia on transport duties. Captain Fitzpatrick was awarded the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. He married but had no children. He had a successful career and rose to be the NSW Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Railways. Private Frank Joseph Fitzpatrick (Brother of John Leo.) Private Frank Joseph Fitzpatrick of the 36th Battalion, motor mechanic, enlisted on 3/10/16 aged 21 years and 3 months. He was killed in action in the Battle of Messines on 10/06/17. Coincidently, Private Frank Joseph Fitzpatrick’s younger sister married a man whose brother was also killed in action in the Battle of Messines on the same day and at the same Battle on 10/06/17. According to Private Frank Joseph Fitzpatrick’s Red Cross file, he was killed instantaneously by a
shell fragment to his head. He was buried by his Battalion when they returned two days later in a marked grave but subsequent fighting appeared to have destroyed his grave markings. Private Frank Joseph Fiitzpatrick has no known grave and is named on the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing at Ypres Belgium. These men were Great Great Uncles to one of our current YR8 students, Sean Auer. We are in the process of compiling a Roll of Honour with names of ex-students and details of their involvement (see below).

WORLD YOUTH DAY INVITATION
TEACHING AND LEARNING NAPLAN INFORMATION
YEAR 12
World Youth Day (WYD) is the largest gathering of young people the world has ever seen, from 500,000 in Sydney, 2008 to over 4 million in the Philippines, 1995. Through its size, vibrancy and ambience, it can be a life-changing event for those who attend. Young people flock from all corners of the globe to join Pope Francis in celebrating the faith and love of God for us. In 2016, this special gathering will take place in Krakow, Poland, the birthplace of St John Paul II, the founder of WYD. With such significance, our young people will explore the theme of “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy” and make their pilgrimage to this famous city. This is an invitation to our Year 9 and 10 students to begin their journey to Krakow and to be moved by the spirit of WYD and the greater church community. You do not have to be Catholic to join, but you do have to have an open mind and heart. If your son has an interest in being part of such a wonderful event, please download an Expression of Interest Form from the link below and email it to: [email protected] or print, complete and hand the form to me during school hours. For more information on the packages available there will be a WYD Information Night on Monday, the 25th of May at 6pm open for both students and parents (please ensure you have submitted your Expression of Interest Form before then). I look forward to meeting with you then. Michael Dela Cruz Youth Ministry Coordinator Expression of Interest Form http://goo.gl/7i2Xch

TEACHING AND LEARNING – YR12 ACADEMIC AWARDS E

In Week 10 of Term 1, Year 12 Geography sleepily arrived at 5:30am at Sydney domestic terminal. A few stressful hours later, we were boarded on a plane, making our early morning commute for a two night stay on the Gold Coast. To describe the general feeling of the Year 12 group towards this excursion in one cliche it would be, “a walk in the park”. We were wrong.
Rather we saw the educational value of an excursion such as the one on the Gold Coast. An example of this is the tiresome yet highly informative first day. From the moment we landed we met our enthusiastic guide Chris who led us to a variety of different Gold Coast beaches. We were educated in detail about the types and the effects of both human and natural induced stress on these beaches. We were given valuable primary information which cannot be found in the classroom or in the textbook. Later we became absorbed in the mangrove regions which was characterised by the immense battle through the mud and a series of subsequently broken thongs. Despite this, we learned the high ecological value of mangrove regions and the benefits it has on the environment both through the wisdom of Chris and the performance of our own first-hand investigations. The first day alone was definitely demanding both physically and mentally. It required a strong willingness to learn and in return we were educated.
This first day was the template of what was to follow - highly enjoyable and highly informative. We were provided valuable information both about Dreamworld and the rainforest in the Gold Coast hinterland. The type of education which we received through this excursion was highly engaging, it was removed from the classroom and we were provided with relevant content that will hopefully provide a competitive edge in upcoming assessments and the HSC exams themselves. Despite the demanding nature of the excursion itself it was enjoyable, interesting and educational, something which helped strengthen the bond in the Year 12 Geography cohort. As a result I would like to thank Ms. Brown, Mr. Giles, Mr. Duncan and everyone else involved in making this worthwhile excursion possible and I encourage it to continue into the future.

On the last weekend of the holidays, Luke, Raine, Kaspars and myself had the privilege of attending the Y12 Marist Forum at The Hermitage in Mittagong, the spiritual capital of the Marist Brothers in Australia. It was attended by over 30 students from Marist schools across the Sydney region and the ACT including Marcellin Randwick, Parramatta Marist, St Joseph’s, St Patrick’s Dundas, Marist Canberra and several others. It was essentially three days of making new friends, sharing ideas and the strengthening of bonds within the Marist family. The forum focused on the concept of vocations with the theme ‘Wake up the World’. We began by trying to define vocation, with the conclusion that it is a life path which you have been called to and one which gives you a deep sense of inner joy. A vocation is not limited to a career, others include marriage, being part of your family, or by adopting a religious orientated way of life, such as being a Priest, Brother, or Sister. The weekend included various sessions such as how to discern my vocation and a vocations panel which featured people who have found and are living their vocation such as a Marist Brother, a Priest, a Good Samaritan Sister and a married couple. This panel was particularly insightful as it provided us with the opportunity to ask questions regarding the panel’s experiences in finding their vocation. I would like to thank Mr and Mrs Versteegh for driving down to Mittagong and being the married couple in the panel. On the final day, we had an open forum which allowed everyone to express their views on several vocation issues such as ‘Why is religious life a less attractive option?’. The forum was concluded with ways in which we can continue to be involved in the Marist family and I encourage you to look at the sites/pages below and speak to Mr Dela Cruz or myself if you are interested in any upcoming events. It was an incredibly fun and insightful weekend and an opportunity I would
encourage everyone to take up if they get the chance. http://www.maristyouthministry.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mymsyd?fref=ts https://www.facebook.com/MaristVocations?fref=ts Tiernan Byrne Faith and Solidarity Captain

MCNS DEBATING TERM 2 - DRAW
CHESS WENONA CHESS TOURNAMENT
On Thursday 23rd of April, members of the Marist College North Shore Chess Team travelled to Wenona School for a chess tournament being run by the Sydney Academy of Chess. Upon arrival, we discovered that Wenona was hosting two tournaments simultaneously. One for primary students, and one for secondary students. To our surprise, the secondary division consisted of multiple students from North Sydney Boys, ourselves and one Wenona girl. Nevertheless, we strived to do our best in what would turn out to be a serious challenge from one of our major chess competitors and a test of our own skills against each other.
We played seven rounds in total, each with opponents who had scored the same amount of points. Chess clocks set a fifteen minute time limit for each player. Running out of time would have most likely lead to the loss of that game so the pressure was on. Our own tournaments include these same rules so we were familiar with the situation. North Sydney Boys and the Wenona girl proved to be worthy adversaries and fortunately, so did we. Our efforts were commendable as there were definitely more wins than losses and we gave all our opponents a run for their money. Playing boys from our own school for the first time, along with talking with them throughout the day was beneficial for both our chess and our team spirit. Our top score was four games out of seven with three of us achieving this. However, a tiebreak calculation based on our opponent’s scores resulted in Daniel Walsh being titled as our best player and receiving a medal for it. North Sydney Boys took out the tournament but we placed comfortably in second and were awarded a trophy for this.
This chess tournament has provided us with a warm up for the upcoming Secondary Schools Chess Competition to be held over seven weeks. It has established a strong sense of unity between the participating students, and I am confident that the Marist College North Shore Chess Team will perform admirably in the following weeks.

Multicultural Week 2015 was once again a fantastic success. An important day in our school’s annual calendar, it is a refreshing reminder of the many cultures our school shares and we can celebrate this unity and diversity. Throughout the week midday prayers were led in different languages from Armenian to French and on Wednesday the school gathered for our Multicultural assembly. The assembly featured guest speakers from year 7, Angel and Juan Martin Cortes who shared with the students their multicultural experiences after living in Spain, India and now Australia. Following this all students were invited to attend our lunch held in the school yard. Nationality groups from around the world each had their own stall selling authentic, not to mention delicious, home made food with all proceeds going towards MAPS.
The yard was alive with smells of the aromatic cuisines and the sounds of music from different cultures. As a result the lunch raised a total of $3149 which will make a wonderful contribution to our Marist community in the Asia Pacific regions. All of this would not of been possible without the organization of Ms Kathleen McGrath and the committee of students who
assisted with the prayers, design and video presentations, for without them the week would not have been such a success. Samuel How Yr12/ MT5
Year 12 Studies of Religion students endured the torrential rain on Monday to attend the Central Synagogue in Bondi Junction and the Sydney Jewish Museum, all in benefit of the students study of Judaism. The Sydney Jewish Museum located in Darlinghurst was an insightful experience as we were guided around the quaint location and were educated about the fundamental beliefs that most Jews adhere to. We were then invited to hear from Holocaust survivor Yvonne who shared her devastating encounters in Auschwitz, the most notorious concentration camp under Hitler’s regime. Her horrific story reminded all of us of the tragedy endured by the Jewish race and the importance of learning about, and respecting their religious beliefs. Following this, the class visited Sydney Central Synagogue to heighten our knowledge on the Jewish system of beliefs and ceremonies. The Synagogue is one of Sydney’s most architecturally advanced, featuring beautifully designed stain glass windows and state of the art interiors. We were fortunate enough to hear from a local Rabi who discussed the history of Hassidism and the importance of the wedding ceremony in Jewish tradition. Much of this valuable information will be a central part of the cohort’s HSC examination and will hopefully be put to good use. We would like to thank Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald for organizing the excursion and for allowing us to further expand our religious insight and knowledge. Samuel How Yr12/MT5

IMMERSION FUNDRAISING DINNER – THANK YOU
It has been six days since a massive earthquake devastated Nepal, leaving over 5,000 people dead and an estimated 8 million more affected. Caritas Australia has responded quickly, in partnership with Caritas Nepal and the international Caritas network, to provide vital necessities like food, water and tents to those impacted. And while the situation is still critical, the enormous relief effort that is underway is delivering aid to those who need it most. Caritas staff are on the ground and have been reporting stories of progress and solidarity despite the chaos in Kathmandu and surrounding regions. Fr Pius Perumana SJ, of Caritas Nepal, has offered words of hope and gratitude for the help already received, saying “We are very grateful to the international community for your support and for your prayers” Lilian Chan of Caritas Australia was in Kathmandu when the earthquake struck. You can read about her experience here at goo.gl/XZiFVX and the latest update of our work on the ground at goo.gl/i0vfwW The response to our Nepal Earthquake Appeal has been overwhelming, and the compassion shown by Caritas supporters during these times of crisis never fails to inspire me. But thousands are still without the most basic of necessities. I hope, if you have not yet had the opportunity, you will choose to make a donation today via our website: goo.gl/KY148w or by calling 1800 024 413. Thank you, Paul O’Callaghan Chief Executive Officer Caritas Australia
Prayer for Nepal Heavenly Father, we ask you to take care of the people of Nepal after their devastating earthquake.
We pray for the victims who have lost their lives. Please look after the many people who are injured and keep the rescue workers safe as they search for the survivors.
Dear God, we also ask that you be with the families and friends of those who have been killed and help find the missing Australians on holiday in Nepal. We also pray you embrace Nepalese Australians who have families in Nepal.
Grant the Nepalese the strength and courage to rebuild their beautiful country.
Please help us comfort them with our support and prayers.

UNIVERSITY VISITS
CAREERS
Over the past several weeks, the college warmly welcomed the company of presenters from the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales to guide our students to a more successful pathway in their future studies. It was nice to see a large number of our students from years 10 and above attend these meetings in order to grasp a clearer understanding of what university life might be like, and also potential ways of getting the degree that they want most. A reminder that open day for many of the Universities as well as UTS(University of Technology, Sydney) occur around August of this year and I highly advise students in years 11 and 12 to organise themselves in attending these events as it provides an opportunistic experience where they may ask any further questions on course options, or even see for themselves what University is like.

New stock of rain jackets has now arrived $50 I am still waiting on delivery of the large size Senior Blazers which were ordered. Also a VERY BIG REMINDER about naming your sons uniform. If an Item comes to Lost Property with a name I ensure it is returned to the
student, if they do not have a name it makes it very difficult to return. Lost Property items are mentioned in the Daily Notices each week for students to check. June Mitchell Uniform Shop Manager
