I recently received the sad news that a former teacher of mine had passed away. Indeed ‘former teacher’ is quite an understatement, as he had been a significant part of my life for many years. Father Jim Saunders was Deputy Headmaster for my six years at High School in Newcastle. A raconteur, football tragic and punter (which clearly explains why we got on so well), we spent many a lunchtime walking through the playground discussing the finer aspects of rugby league, or indeed all matters relating to the turf. In fact, I’m sure the first question he asked me in Year 7 was what position I played, and the last, as I graduated, was who’s going to win the ‘Cup.
Fr Saunders actually had links with Marcellin College; he was the nephew of our own Br Anselm, Marcellin Headmaster from 1957 – 1962. He was an old boy of Maitland Marist Brothers in the Hunter Valley; a product of Marist Education, and spent time staying with the Brothers here at Randwick on his regular trips, down from Newcastle, to the track.
But news of Fr Jim’s death sparked a bizarre paradox in my memory and reminded me of the two reasons I decided to pursue a career in education and to teach.
The first reason centred on his amazing ability to institute structure and discipline within a school. He was a fierce disciplinarian who took no nonsense. He ensured the structure, and how fortunate we all are that he did. I still reflect on the importance of this structure at my school, and the role it played in forging my own self-discipline.

... We are allowing our students to innovate, push the boundaries of their creative spirit, stumble, fall and help each other up, whilst
working through their own learning journey ...
On the other hand it did remind me of the other reason I entered education. My school wasn’t a great place. Don’t get me wrong, I received an excellent education, but for many reasons, some indicative of the era, an educationally stagnant culture existed. Students were seen and not heard, creativity was suppressed, teacher centred lessons ensured there was minimal

classroom engagement. We were occasionally treated to a teacher, usually an eccentric type, who stretched the mind, heightened involvement and generated enthusiasm. But these teachers didn’t seem to last long. I remember thinking at the time, what a wasted opportunity. Indeed the other reason I chose education was that I knew learning could be so much better.
Which is where we find ourselves today at Marcellin College. There is an infectious vibe in the air that says, education can still be so much better. We’re allowing our students to innovate, push the boundaries of their creative spirit, stumble, fall and help each other up, whilst working through their own learning journey.
Our new learning spaces are creating opportunities to work together in collaboration; to achieve things that would not be possible while working solo.
We are flipping the classroom; students are watching video material prepared by their teacher at home, ensuring vital class time is utilised as effectively as possible.

spaces. We’ll need to ensure that a structure exists, in a disciplined setting that facilitates the optimum outcomes for all students.
As I reflect on the passing of Father Jim I can now comfortably connect the paradox of innovation with structure, knowing that it works, we are the witnesses, and that contemporary education is much better.

needs. There now exists greater scope for enhanced feedback, both from teacher to student, and importantly, vice versa. Our methods of assessment are constantly being reviewed with the intention of optimising both student and teacher learning.
With this innovative approach to education, and massive changes, comes added pressure to upskill. Teachers now are being challenged to ‘re-learn’ their craft. The emphasis on professional learning is high, but is continued to be supported by the College and the Sydney Catholic Education Office. This support has given our staff the confidence to embrace these contemporary pedagogies.
Our Year Seven and Year Nine boys have just completed their NAPLAN exams. All Year Seven to Eleven students are entering key assessment periods. Data from these exams and assessments will further direct us in our search for a

more focused pedagogy; a better way of educating.
But the innovation and collaboration does not just happen. Our students need to learn these new skills of engagement as well. They need to be guided through these contemporary efforts to connect; to talk to each other, negotiate, and resolve conflict. Disciplined collaboration is an element of our craft we will all have to ‘re-learn’ and over time continue to perfect. It won’t be enough to just throw our students into these wonderful new buildings with their forward thinking learning

illnesses like cold and flu. Therefore, a timely reminder that if your son is sick and cannot attend school, parents must phone the student absentee line (9398 8009) each day your son is away. Year 11 and 12 students are asked to adhere to the same requirements and also bring a doctor’s certificate on their return to school. As always, good communication between home and school is vital, and while students should never come to school feeling unwell, it is important to remember that the most effective learning occurs at school with a teacher.

From the Acting Deputy Headmaster
Most people think a typical school day begins at 8.40am and concludes at 3.15pm with six lessons in between. The truth is, at Marcellin College this is no longer typical.
I was reminded of this fact last Wednesday afternoon as I walked through the school on my way home. It was close to 5.00pm, and I had just left a group of forty Year 11 students, future College leaders, who were participating in an afternoon of speeches. Similarly, over twenty students were in the Devlin Centre working solidly on assignments or studying for upcoming exams. Immediately downstairs, the workshops were alive with sounds of students sanding, sawing and toiling away on Major Works for their HSC. This type of active learning results in some wonderful outcomes for all the students.
Of course, it wouldn’t happen without our fantastic learning spaces, the generosity and dedication of the teachers or the willingness of the students to get involved and take up the opportunities to extend themselves. Well done to both staff and students!

ANZAC Day Commemoration
On April 23, Mrs Rodriguez, Josh Dever, Chris Downey and I attended the RSL & Schools Remember Anzac Commemoration Ceremony at the Memorial Reflection Pool in Hyde Park. It was a time to remember those who made great sacrifices so that we can enjoy the opportunities available in today’s society. During the ceremony, we were able to place a small wreath on the cenotaph in Hyde Park.
The ceremony was made even more reverent and memorable by Jacob Siles (Year 12) on drums and Year 9 students Marc Simonini and Brendan Mullens as part of the choir. The boys were selected for the ensemble which was composed from various CEO school musicians in Sydney. It was an honour to attend this service.

“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers”Rudyard Kipling
A note of thanks from a Mum...
... thank you for organising the Mothers’ Day mass ... it was a moving and appropriate ceremony for a College in the Marist / Marian tradition. That is one of the major qualities that I admire, the fact that Marcellin College emphasises the importance of “Mary Our Good Mother” and all mothers everywhere. In a male-oriented domain, quite often this can be neglected but well-rounded Marcellin Graduates need to recognise and appreciate the maternal and feminine influence in their lives. Thank you for that. May God bless you and your good mothers – be kind to them...

Year 8 Family Mass The traditional Marcellin Family Mass was held on Wednesday, 6 May at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church, Randwick. Celebrated by Year 12 Chaplain, Fr Greg Morgan, the Mass was a great opportunity for the Year 8 boys to join with their classmates in acknowledging the importance of ‘family’. The highlight for many was the song of thanksgiving after Communion. With their interpretation of My Wish, the boys sang beautifully to their parents.

Debating
The Senior Opens Team are currently enjoying a run of success with Thomas Nicholas debating for the first time in his school career. He has taken to the second speaker role (between the eminently capable and experienced Thomas Waller and the razor sharp Raffael Bruzzese) like a duck to water. The team defeated Rosebank last Friday after being handed the ‘negative’ for the topic: “Voting is the Key to Democracy” arguing that ‘freedom’ is an even more important ingredient.
Meanwhile the Year 8s are beginning to find some form, thanks to their determination and the assistance of parent coach,
Year 10 Visual Design
The Term 1 Street Art Inspired Skate Deck project was a great way to start our second and final year of Miss Toohey’s Visual Design class.
We began the term by exploring different styles and techniques in creating mini artworks to ultimately find our own unique style. We looked at prominent street artists, such as Beastman, Buff Diss and Anthony Lister.
Our decks were also required to communicate a concept of our choice such as consumerism, superheroes and power. We taped, stencilled, sprayed, painted or drew our way through the term to bring our design to life and to produce our finished decks.

WINTER SEASON – Rugby League & SoccerOur Rugby League and Soccer teams have made a promising start to the 2015 winter season (results on Page 11). As the opening round against Bankstown was ‘washed out’, it will now be held in the final week of Term 2. Our teams performed strongly in Round 2 against North Shore, particularly our Rugby League teams, who were victorious in all but one match. The U13 Division 1 & A Grade Soccer teams produced impressive wins also. We met strong resistance in Round 3 against Ryde, with victories fairly evenly shared across the two sports. In Rugby League, our A, B & U14 teams claimed victory while the U13 Division 1 and B Grade Soccer teams produced strong wins. We break from MCC competition next week due to CCC Rugby League trials, and resume with Round 4 on Thursday, 28 May. I would like to remind parents that for boys to participate in MCC Sport each week, they must have the correct team uniform.

AFL – SWANS CUPOn April 29, two Australian Rules Football sides representing Marcellin College competed in the Sydney Zone Swans Cup Gala Day.
The Under 15s competition consisted of three round-robin matches of ten minute halves followed by a Grand Final. Marcellin College won their first two games against Epping Boys B, (4.5-0.1), and St Patrick’s Sutherland, (5.3-0.0). Unfortunately the boys lost their last match against Epping Boys A, (1.1-5.3) and therefore missed out on the Grand Final on points difference. The standout player of the day was Errol Gulden.
The Opens competition consisted of a league of five teams, with the team at the top of the ladder being declared the victors. Games were again two ten minute halves. Marcellin won their first two games against Epping Boys, (8.5-0.1), and SSC Blackwattle Bay, (6.2-4.2), before holding on against a very good St Patrick’s Sutherland side to prevail by one point, (3.1-3.0). This proved to be the decisive victory as Marcellin won their final game against St Leo’s Wahroonga, (10.5-1.2), to finish the day undefeated. As such, the Opens team now progress to the Regional Finals Gala Day to be held later in Term 2. The most valuable player was Thomas Chichester, who scored 13 goals in the four games.
