COMING
UP
There is a song that has as a part of its lyrics, a picture
paints a thousand words. If ever this adage was to hold true
for me, the image of the fireworks lighting up the sky above
our original building captured a thousand sentiments that
were felt and experienced by those present on the weekend. In a bid to symbolically celebrate the imminent end to
the name of Nudgee Junior College, it was great to be a
part of two fantastic, albeit very different, events last weekend. In society, fireworks are often synonymous with a
great celebration and fittingly the fireworks show on Saturday was breathtaking in the image it created for those there
present. Young or old, student or parent, I felt the stunning
fireworks display symbolically gave all present the opportunity to have their own goodbye inside a community goodbye.
Friday night’s celebration Mass in the Cathedral was a special event and as a formal acknowledgement of Nudgee
Junior College and its journey. It connected the origins of
our story with the Christian Brothers, the boarders, staff,
families and present day students. As a Catholic school and
proudly a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, the
celebration of a Mass brought us together as a faith community united in common purpose and in our shared faith.
Saturday’s celebration at the College was multilayered in its
delivery – from a unbelievable display of our students’ artistic and musical talents in the Cultural Trail, to the NJC history book launch in the Hall, to the welcome back to so many
old boys, to the fun rides and games on the oval and to the
sharing of a drink and a BBQ, the day had a very warm
feeling. The word ‘welcome’ comes to mind for me and I felt
that the warmth of our community that has been characteristic of its 76 year journey was showcased so well on the
day. Events like last weekend don’t just happen by chance
and the success is always directly proportional to the effort
of so many people. I would like to thank all the NJC community that worked so hard to make the weekend the success it was. In particular I would like to acknowledge the
leadership of:
 David Gardiner and Conor Finn (Chief “puppeteers” from the College perspective),
 Helen Hicks for her overall responsibility for all the food and activities for Saturday. Her enthusiasm and dedication were a key ingredient to the success of the day,
 The P&F and the over 70 parents who volunteered to help out on the day,
 Glynis Galletly, Jodi Rivalland, Rhonnie Sparksman and our front office staff,
 Fathers Pascoe, Gillen, O’Donoghue and Yun for their celebration of the mass,
 Paul Smith, Peter and Leslie Parry for their work behind the scenes in the preparation for the book launch of “recollections”,
 Wayne Green, Ross Earle, Colin Hass, Salvador Ferrando, Maurice Tamburin from our grounds staff for the ‘out of hours’ commitment to oversee set up and clean up,
 Julie Hawkins, Bianca Herbert, Shantelle Kerwin and parent helpers for the herculean task of putting the art displays together (You
should be very proud of the boys’ exceptional art work)
 Barb McGeever for the wonderful performance that our choir and handbells ensemble provided on Friday evening.
 Jonathon Bolt, Barb McGeever and all our music staff for the engaging music performances at the Cultural Trail.
 Old boy Nick Kovij from Skylighter Fireworks who provided the most spectacular fireworks display we could have hoped for.
 NJC students who performed both at the Mass on Friday evening and on Saturday afternoon and also the students who provided
tours of the College on Saturday afternoon.
All in all the weekend was a marvellous success and I would sincerely thank all the community who joined us for this special time. The
depth of feeling in events is only tangible when people gather to share the moment. It was great to share this time with so many past and
present NJC families.
G20 Public Holiday
With the events of G20 culminating this weekend I would extend a gentle reminder to parents that it is a public holiday on Friday, 14 November.
Old NJC Uniforms
Over the last six months I have had a number of parents ask whether or not the school as a community was looking at facilitating a collection of Nudgee Junior student uniforms that might be able to be donated to a good cause either locally or overseas. I think this is wonderful
initiative and I will give further details over the next two weeks about how we can organise for students and parents to drop off any unwanted NJC uniforms to the College in the last week of the school year as well as
the first week of the school holidays.

Celebrations
The events over the weekend were a fantastic focus for our
community as we celebrated the end of NJC. I would also
like to add my thanks to the enormous team of staff and
parents who made the weekend possible. Also thanks to all
our boys who were excellent both Friday and Saturday by
joining in with the right spirit and cooperation.
A special mention to Nick Kovij who coordinated the awesome fireworks display. Nick is a proud old boy of NJC graduating in 1996 and who along with his father ensured we
were witness to an amazing finale. It certainly was one of
the best fireworks displays I have seen. I strongly recommend Skylighter Fireworks to you if you have any plans for a
fireworks display in the future. You can be guaranteed of a
great spectacle.
End of Term
The celebrations
set us up for the
final two weeks of
the school year,
with some very
significant events.
The Year 6 Graduation is tonight
and I wish all the
families the best
for a memorable
evening.
The Night of Excellence will be
held next Tuesday
at the ERPAC at
St Laurence's College. It is an evening when we can showcase the talents and
achievements of our students. Many boys will receive an
award but many more will be dancing, singing and playing
music to entertain the crowd. All families are warmly invited
to be apart of this special evening. It is not just for the award
winners. Please note the NOE commences at 6.45pm. Parking is available around St. Laurence's and in the ERPAC
parking station. Discount parking tokens can be obtained
from staff on the night to secure a lower rate of $15.
The whole school outing to Dreamworld will be held on
Friday 21 November. Please remember if you do not want
your son to participate in this activity you are to inform your
son's classroom teacher. The boys are to wear their sports
uniform with their broad rim College hat. Buses will leave
soon after 8.30am and return approximately 4.30pm.
I am looking forward to the Year 4 (Tuesday 25 Nov) and
Year 5 ( Wednesday 26 Nov) year presentations and family
morning tea. They will be special days to help conclude their
school year.
I also would like to wish all the Year 7 families all the best for
their upcoming Valedictory Dinner on November 27. This is
a significant milestone as the boys move into the Middle
School at ATC or to other high schools.

“There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to
do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he
ought.” Charles Kingsley.
Freedom
This week’s Remembrance Day was set aside to remember the sacrifice of those who have died for Australia in
wars and conflicts. Their hope was for the freedom of
humankind and it is as a result of their supreme sacrifice
that we enjoy our freedom today. Indeed us Aussies are
provided with so many freedoms that it is almost a burden! Our commitments (or lack of) reflect this from our
careers to our marriage(s). Statistics (sexual, physical
and substance abuse, divorce and abortion rates etc)
indicate that the freedoms we have been privileged are
being misused and are even destructive as we continue
to hurt others and ourselves through their abuse. A common kneejerk reaction to this is to restrict one’s freedom.
We see this often in politics, religion and law. Whilst this
can be sincere it is often misguided as what's needed is
not less freedom but more maturity.
We are often too immature to carry properly the great gift
of freedom that God has given us. Let’s look to Jesus to
see how he handled this. There is no doubt that he was
free from many things including fear, temptation, lust,
greed, envy, pride. Just look at who he hung around - tax
-collectors, prostitutes, rich people, poor people, church
people, non-church people, moral people, and immoral
people. Throughout all this he did not sin. How? Despite
the fact that he would have hung around morally dangerous people and places he did not lose himself there. He
had the maturity and moral strength to not abuse the
freedoms he would have been given at these times. This
is much easier said than done! There is no doubt that we
all try our best to be pure and sincere whilst at the same
time we are still weak, tempted and torn regarding the
freedoms we are afforded.
So it's not easy to be whole, mature, and to walk into
morally dangerous places and not sin. It’s a long shot that
we’ll ever be as mature and strong as Jesus however we
need to be honest and humble about our weaknesses,
sometimes we simply don't have the maturity to walk into
‘dark’ places alone. We're wise to take someone with us
so that, in the strength given by family and community,
our maturity can measure up to our freedom. There is no
doubt that there is nothing more difficult, and therefore
more precious, than the freedom to decide!

Smiling Mind is modern meditation for young
people. It’s a simple tool that gives a sense of
calm, clarity and contentment.
The amazing fireworks on the beautiful Old College Building on Saturday night really summed up what a success
our time at NJC as been in all things Cultural. It really was
the 'End of an Era', and the beginning of something new;
which we are all really excited about being apart of. Here in
Art we have enjoyed being the first group to use the new
ATC classrooms to showcase the art exhibition of student
work. With over 1200 2D works and close to 970 3D works,
it was once again a great joy to see the culmination of the
year's work and the extraordinary talents of our young
boys.
As a teacher the highlight of the art show is always watching our boys proudly point out their art work to their families
and explain the concept behind it. A show of this scale cannot be done without the support of so many helpers and I
would like to thank the parent helpers who came in to hang
works, the groundsmen, office staff, the students and especially the art staff, Shantelle Kerwin and Bianca Herbert for
their effort throughout the year but especially for the long
hours spent setting up last week. We already look forward
to our first exhibition as Ambrose Treacy College in 2015.
Smiling Mind
In recent years, Mindfulness Meditation has grown in popularity for use in the treatment of stress, resilience, anxiety,
depression and other physical and mental illnesses. Highly
regarded institutions such as UCLA, Harvard, Oxford,
Monash and Melbourne Universities have developed clinical
studies into the positive impacts of Mindfulness Meditation.
Smiling Mind is a unique web and App-based program developed by a team of psychologists with expertise in youth
and adolescent therapy. Smiling Mind is a free tool that will
assist in improving the lives of young Australians, and is
available online or as a smartphone App.
Smiling Mind’s mission is to provide accessible, lifelong
tools based in mindfulness meditation. Creating happier,
healthier and more compassionate young people.

Cricket
ATC Cricket
Brett Henschell —[email protected]
Week 5 of junior club cricket fixtures were again played under ideal conditions. ATC teams posted some good results,
particularly in the older age groups where most matches are evenly poised going into the second day.
This Saturday will present some challenges, being in the middle of a long weekend caused by the G20 Summit. Despite one U10 match already being cancelled, all players are required and will be spread across other teams to cover
absences. No player will miss out on a game.
Players and parents are reminded that Term 4 junior club cricket fixtures will be played right up to Saturday 6
December 2014, despite the NJC school year concluding 28 November 2014. Please make sure you are available for Saturday 29 November 2014 and Saturday 6 December 2014 so that your team is not forced to play short or forfeit.
A reminder also that Term 1 school cricket trials have now concluded. We thank the boys for their attendance and effort during the trials. One final trial is planned for the first week of Term 1 2015 but will be confirmed in due course.
