Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the 2019 School Year. This morning we greeted the students at our first assembly of the year. Our audience included the children and staff from the Alive Catholic Early Learning Centre located within the school. This is a sign of the times as we reach out to the community through our programmes such as Play Group, OSHC, Vacation Care and the ELC. A special warm welcome to all the new Reception students and all other students who joined us this week in various Year Levels across the school.

In 2019 we are engaged in the process of developing the following new facilities and initiatives to serve our school community:

• A new $3 million Library built using the latest principles of sustainability including energy and water conservation. This facility is being designed by the same architects involved in the construction of the new Botanic High School in the city. This building will provide the children with the latest resources to support their learning. The building will also feature learning spaces and resources for parents and families;

• The expansion of the Fish Farm and Aquaponic gardens program providing the children with an understanding of the principles of sustainable production of food;

• Development of Courts adjacent to Grevillia Park and greening of the park in general;

• Construction of 4 Music Suites to house our Instrumental Music program.

Welcome to our new Canteen Manager: Susan Debattista.

Volunteers play an important role in the education of children and young people in partnership with the staff of Catholic schools. Volunteering helps provide quality care and education to our children and young people and supports Catholic Schools to promote values drawn from the Catholic tradition of faith in order to prepare students for more active participation in the world.

Our school canteen is an area where volunteers are welcome and needed. Volunteers assist and support the Canteen Manager for the efficient and professional operation of a healthy school canteen by providing high quality, healthy food in a professional manner to our customers who are primarily students but also include staff and parents.

We welcome to Holy Family our new Canteen Manager, Susan Debattista. If you are available to provide some of your time to assisting in the canteen, please see Susan.

I am here to serve the community. If I can help in any way please do not hesitate to contact me at the school.

KERRY WHITEPRINCIPAL

TREATING OTHERS AS GOD WOULD…

Dear Friends,

A while ago someone shared with me that she is very worried about her child. “My son makes me crazy. He’s so angry and hard headed. He always has to do it ‘his way,’ and then he ends up blaming everyone else when he gets in trouble! I do not know what I am doing wrong, I must be a very bad mother.” I am sure it’s not the experience of just one mother. It’s natural that we feel anxious and responsible, we are only human. It’s easy to slip into a protective role, but we need to listen to concerns, ask for opinions and involve everyone in the decision making. How do we handle difficult relationships, as parents, teachers, spouses or just as adults, dealing with other grown-ups? First thing is to remember that everyone has a past. Some are a source of pride, and others are best left behind. But whatever their past, people do change and grow. In all life’s circumstances, it is important to be aware as to how do we treat others. Do we in reality treat others as God wishes them to be treated? We can choose to reflect back to others a clear, undistorted vision of themselves. We can affirm their good qualities and treat them as responsible people. We can help script them as potentially good children, independent teens, value-based grown-ups and worthwhile individuals.

“Perhaps you are familiar with the musical, Man of La Mancha. It's a beautiful story about a medieval knight who meets a woman of the street, of questionable character. She's being validated in her life-style by all of the people in her life. But this knight sees something else in her, something beautiful and lovely. He also sees her virtue, and he affirms it, over and over again. He gives her a new name -- Dulcinea (sweet or beloved) -- a new name associated with a new outlook. At first, she utterly denies it; her old scripts are overpowering. She writes him off as a wild-eyed fantasizer. But he is persistent. He makes continual deposits of unconditional love and gradually it penetrates her scripting. It goes down into her true nature, her potential, and she starts to respond. Little by little, she begins to change her life-style. She believes it and she acts from her new paradigm, to the initial dismay of everyone else in her life. Later, when she begins to revert to her old lifestyle, he calls her to his deathbed and sings that beautiful song, "The Impossible Dream," looks her in the eyes, and whispers, "Never forget, you're Dulcinea." (The story is adopted from an old collection of stories)”

What do we reflect to others about themselves? And how much does that reflection influence their lives? The more we can see people in terms of their unseen potential, the more we can use our imagination rather than our biases, with our spouse, our children, our co-workers or employees. We can refuse to label them -- we can "see" them in new fresh ways each time we're with them. We can help them become independent, fulfilled people capable of deeply satisfying, enriching, and productive relationships with others. Goethe taught, "Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be." As a parish family let us treat everyone not as we see them, but as God sees them. Praying for all of us to have fulfilling relationships and wishing you God’s best,

Fr. Shibu Jacob Msfs
