THE SCIENCE OF MOTIVATION
If students aren’t mo vated, learning won’t happen. Despite the common mispercep on that some people naturally have or lack mo va on, science shows that the nature of parent/child rela onships and opportuni es for safe explora on affect the development of these systems – for be er or for worse. In his book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Mo vates Us (2018), Daniel Pink argues that extrinsic mo va ons such as grades, standardised tests and financial rewards are merely temporary incen ves that cannot provide a sustainable framework for quality learning and careers. The ques on then is how can parents and educators encourage our future world ci zens to develop their own determina on to learn and succeed? Although it seems paradoxical to us to extrinsically mo vate our young people to intrinsically mo vate themselves, there are five main areas in which we can help to create an environment that will offer the perfect condi ons for intrinsic mo va on to develop.
How to Build Healthy Motivation in our Children
Encourage curiosity and explora on Beyond their basic needs, children are mo vated by explora on, play, mastery and success. Parents can reinforce these mo va ons rather than being overly fearful that children will get hurt – fears that can rub off. Caring adults whom children can trust can help them figure out what to be actually wary or afraid of and avoid.

Don’t rely on incen ves The goal is to help young people develop their inner fire to learn. Children can stop engaging in ac vi es once they have been given a tangi‐ble reward for it. Systems focused solely on external rewards and punishments are unlikely to achieve sustained, produc ve mo va on. Posi ve feedback is more likely to support healthy mo va on. Remind children that success is possible We are unlikely to be mo vated to do anything if we think it’s impossible. A growth mindset – the belief that we can change, develop and improve through prac ce – enables young people to get mo vated. Social Interac ons From babies to adolescents, social interac on is a key to mo va on, releasing natural opioids that ac vate the brain’s reward system. In our digital world, apps and screens can be supplements for learning, but in‐person interac ons remain essen al. Remember we all have intrinsic mo vators A child intrinsically mo vated to play sports might respond well to construc ve cri cism from a coach but another young person might respond more to encouragement and get discouraged by cri cism. These different mo va on systems may be due to children’s genes and their life experiences, and they might require different approaches to mo vate them.
Student Mo va on: Essen al for Life‐Long Learning
Parents and educators can help students develop the mo va on systems that will serve them well, long into adulthood. Research shows that students don’t necessarily need rewards or lessons in mo va on to remain mo vated, but rather a learning environment that supports their emo onal needs. At some point, all students will face setbacks when pursuing goals, and as adults, will be confronted with complex challenges. When caring adults allow young people greater autonomy in their learning and support their needs for competence and relatedness, they help them learn how to face life’s challenges with self‐driven mo va on.
STAFFING MATTERS
I am pleased to advise that Rev. Father Nicholas Nweke has been appointed to the role of College Chaplain (Balmoral Campus). Fr Nicholas, the Parish Priest of the East Victoria Park parish (Our Lady Help of Chris ans), is looking forward to suppor ng the staff, students and parents of the Frayne family through this important ministry.
CONDOLENCES
It is with a sense of sadness that I inform our community of the recent deaths of the father of Grace Piccardi (former Head of Junior School) and Joseph Galea, grandfather of Tia (5G) and Levi (1W).
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
With regards and best wishes Mr Geoff Mills, Principal

Music News Our Senior Strings gave a short 15‐minute perfor‐mance in the Duncan Street Campus Library on Monday, 3 August 2020, to a steadily building audience of students and teachers who showed their apprecia on with enthusias c applause. Many students inundated the musicians and director of the Senior Strings, Ms Leah Van der Meulen, following the performance as they had so many ques ons about stringed instruments and what it is like to learn and play one. Our next ensemble performance is our College Choir on the Roo op of the Year 7/Science block on Thursday, 20 August 2020 at lunch me. They will present a short 15 minute performance of material they have been working on all year. They will be directed by Mrs Kirsten Osborne.

Chaplain’s Reflection ST MARY MacKILLOP
Mary Helen MacKillop, now formally known as Saint Mary of the Cross, is the first and only Australian to be recognised as a saint. She was a Catholic nun, born in Melbourne on 15 January 1842 to Catholic Sco sh parents. Together with Father Julian Woods, they founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart and a number of schools and welfare ins tu ons throughout Australasia with an emphasis on educa‐on for the poor.
Mary trusted in God's will and providence in the face of many challenges un l she died on 8 August 1909 at the Josephine convent in North Sydney were she is buried. Mary was bea fied on 19 January 1995 by Pope John Paul II. On 17 July 2008, Pope Benedict XVI came to Sydney for the World Youth Day and prayed at her tomb. Later, on 19 December 2009, he approved the recogni on of a second miracle a ributed to her intercession and on 17 October 2010 she was canonised during a public ceremony in St Peter's Square at the Va can. On that Day Pope Benedict XVI said these words: "Despite many challenges, her prayers to St Joseph and her unflagging devo on to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to whom she dedicated her new congrega on, gave this holy woman the graces needed to remain faithful to God and to the Church. Through her intercession, may her followers today con nue to serve God and the Church with faith and humility!" Through all her trials and tribula ons Saint Mary of the Cross never lost faith and encouraged others to follow God. May our MacKillop Cluster, and all of us, follow her example. Let us pray to her: Lord God, You inspired Saint Mary MacKillop To live her life faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and constant in bringing hope and encouragement to those who were disheartened, lonely or needy. With confidence in your generous providence and through the intercession of Saint Mary MacKillop we ask that you grant our request. We ask that our faith and hope be fired afresh by the Holy Spirit and that we too, like St Mary MacKillop, may live with courage and trust. We ask this through Jesus Christ. Amen. Fr Jesus Bello, College Chaplain, Duncan Street Campus
Year 10 AFL Carnival The ACC Year 10 AFL Carnival was held in beau ful sunshine on Wednesday, 5 August. The following are reports from both the Girls’ and Boys’ teams.
Girls’ Team
The carnival started slow for our girls who took a while to warm up. Once they realised that tackling was an important part of the game, they really started to shine. We lost our first game to John XXIII by 19 points, lost our second game to Helena College by 11 points and then defeated Tranby by 28 points to finish the day off on a high. The carnival MVP was undoubtedly Alana Tulip, who led from the front with her tackling pressure and ability to break lines. She was well‐supported by Rachel Statham, Madison Butler, Thalia Burge and Amy Frangs in the midfield. Kasia Favazzo and Vidisha D’Mello were our surprise packages, further proving that effort ma ers most of all. I’d like to congratulate the girls on a great carnival and look forward to seeing them at AFL Senior Girl trials in 2021.
Mr Wayd Blakiston
Boys’ Team
Game one: All Saints 34‐21 UF Game two: Helena Valley 39‐26 UF Game three: UF 85‐13 Tranby Game one was a slow start but the game allowed the team to gel, narrowly losing to All Saints by 13 points. Game two was against eventual winners, Helena College, where the boys had another fierce game but were unlucky to go down by 13 points again. By the third game we had found our style and won over Tranby by 72 points. It was a great day for AFL and was played in good spirits the whole way through. MVP for the day went to Quinn Simeon who had a lot of support from Sebas an Palermo, Lachlan Cassidy, Campbell Duff and plenty more throughout the day. Thanks to the boys for their efforts and all helpers/supporters who came throughout the day.
