13 November 2014 EDITION 35 From the Principal Ph: 3878 0500 I Wet Weather Line: 3878 0511 I Email: [email protected] 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. 14 Nov Public Holiday G20 With best wishes 18 Nov Night of Excellence 6.30pm Mike Senior 20 Nov Summer Music Concert Principal 27 Nov Year 7 Valedictory Mass From the Deputy Principal From the Assistant to the Principal - Identity David Gardiner—[email protected] Conor Finn– [email protected] 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.

Rogers “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!

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.
