Transcript of Volume 30 Number 7 6 June 2014 - St Francis Xavier's ... · NIB, Sticky Media, Greater Building...
Volume 30 Number 7 6 June 2014
Dear Parents/Guardians, Students & Friends of SFX
Perhaps one of the most applicable words for all generations would be from the prayer of St Francis. The St
Francis to which this prayer is attributed is not St Francis Xavier, but St Francis of Assisi. However the internet
tells me that the words were not actually penned by St Francis at all. Rather the prayer first became public
around 1912, at the time of the First World War.
Nevertheless, wherever they came from the message is still clear, powerful and applicable through all ages.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
What confronts the reader immediately from these words is the emphasis on the other person. I am not the most
important person and my life should not be all about getting whatever I can. Rather, we are a pathway to help
other people. We are here to bring peace, forgiveness, faith, hope, joy and love. It’s all very confronting and
very demanding.
Perhaps it’s also worth thinking about what the prayer is not saying. There is no mention that we should be an
instrument of wealth, or fame, or attention, or glory, or power. No, these words have a completely different
message from those that are frequently broadcast around the world. They stand in contrast to the consumerism
and individualism that has infiltrated the modern world.
This is why we should applaud the actions of those who take the time to help other people. I can see this when
our students offer to help on the Night Care Van, or donate blood, or give money during the St Vincent De Paul
fund raising campaign, or help students in the local primary schools.

Guest Midwife Presenters
in Year 11 Exploring Early
Childhood
Special guest presenters for our
Year 11 Exploring Early
Childhood students during the week prior to the
exams were Ms Jane Crosbie and Mrs Mandy
Hunter, both from the Belmont Midwifery Group
Practice and the Birth Centre Team Midwifery Unit
at John Hunter Hospital. It was a truly valuable
experience for our students to hear such
experienced midwives presenting information
about hospital births, home births, the natural
process of birthing, the positive experience of
birthing and the valuable postnatal care the services
provide for newborn babies and their parents.
With the Exploring Early Childhood course
focusing on the lives of young children from birth
to eight years of age. It was an informative
presentation from these midwives who certainly
work towards happy, healthy and safe beginnings
of life for newborns. We thank these ladies most
sincerely for their time and interest in our students
and their course.

Japanese Sister School Visit St Francis Xavier’s has had a
close relationship with Rakusei
Boys’ High School in Kyoto,
Japan, for the past 25 years. This
year they are again sending three boys to spend 10
days with us in Newcastle and I am looking for
three families who would be interested in opening
their home to a young Japanese visitor. Rakusei is
one of the most prestigious Catholic schools in the
Kansai region and the boys who come are always
chosen for their ability to speak English and their
personality, therefore they usually fit in very well
with their host family and close friendships can be
formed. You do not need to understand Japanese,
just be open to new experiences and new cultures.
They will arrive in Newcastle on Thursday, 24 July
and leave on Monday, 4 August. Those students
who travelled to Japan with their junior schools
would now be expected to repay the hospitality by
hosting in turn.
Please speak to your parents and consider the many
benefits which could accrue should you decide to
host - it can be a life changing experience for the
whole family. Please see Miss Veltruski, so that I
can inform the Japanese school of the hosting
details and so that you can have some
email/Facebook contact before they arrive.

Dominic Day Celebration
Friday, 9 May marked the annual SFX celebration of one of our four patron
saints, Saint Dominic. The day started off with a liturgy dedicated to
Dominic’s life and teachings. Many members of the Dominic House came
together to create a short video in appreciation for our saint.
The festivities then continued out onto the quadrangle where we had stalls
of fairy floss, Tetris, numerous lolly jars and many more. The school was
full of Where’s Wallys, Thing 1 and 2 from Cat in the Hat and people
coloured head to toe in red. It is a SFX tradition that Dominic is the house
of karaoke and it was a smash! We had an overwhelming amount of people
volunteering to show off their vocal chords. Shout out to Daniel Provost and
Michael Smart for their thrilling duo.
All in all, it was a ripper day, good work Dominic House. Saint Dominic
would be very proud!
And a big thankyou to all students who contributed to this day by
supporting the stalls or volunteering for karaoke. All proceeds will go to the
Brown Sisters, Merewether.
Now it’s up to you Champagnat, you’ve got much to live up to!

Odd Jobs….. Hippotherapist Hippotherapy refers to therapy that uses the natural
movement of a horse as part of a patient's treatment
plan. Because a horse's pelvis has a three-
dimensional movement that mirrors the physiology
of the human walk, horseback riding can be highly
beneficial for patients with both physical and
neurological disabilities.
Hippotherapy may be used in physical,
occupational, psychological, or even speech
therapy, and is becoming a popular option for
children with multiple sclerosis, autism, Downs
syndrome and other conditions.
This video gives you an idea of what a
Hippotherapist does http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLFI6mbe-8c

The Uniform Shop
Dear Uniform Shop Customers,
We understand the financial pressures that many families face and as a result Alinta Apparel are constantly balancing our operating costs to achieve the highest quality of garments in line with the expectations our schools and their families have come to expect.
We are continually looking at ways to operate and manufacture uniforms more efficiently without negatively impacting on the product, rights of our employees and personalised service and expectations of our schools and customers.
Despite this, we are continually experiencing price adjustments from our manufacturers and unfortunately are unable to wear the full impact of this anymore. Please be aware that from 1st August 2014, Uniforms will incur a price adjustment. We will be holding prices until this time so you have the opportunity to make purchases at the current price.
We thank you for understanding and hope you continue to enjoy your experience with Alinta Apparel.

Staff Training Day
On Thursday, 21 and Friday, 22 May 2014, 25 skilled
hockey players travelled to Lithgow to compete in the
NSWCCC Hockey Championships.
Although chilly overnight, we were blessed with sunny
days for the competition. The boys first game was a
torrid affair on turf against Edmund Rice College with
Zac Thurlow scoring in the 1st & 15th minutes. With a
lead of 2-1 at half time, the boys were confident and
competitive throughout the whole game especially when
Taylor Kirkwood levelled the score. Unfortunately they
suffered a 4-3 loss. The next game against McCarthy
College on grass proved difficult on the slippery surface
and control of the ball was a determining factor in this
match and the resulting score was a 0-7 loss. Our 3rd
game on grass was a better performance against Trinity
Catholic College, with Taylor and Zac again proving to
be a dominant force up front, unfortunately some
mistakes in defence allowed the opposition to sneak in
four unanswered goals, score 2- 4 loss. The next game
against the toughest team in the competition resulted in a
loss of 0-5. The next game of the day against O’Connor
Catholic College was a playful game with O’Connor
managing to slip a single goal through our defence,
Score 0-1 loss. The final pool game against La Salle
Academy the following day incorporated some tactful
changes with Austin Davies (Goalkeeper) moving onto
the field and Bryce Kennedy taking the stance at goal.
This proved to be0 a mastermind stroke with Lewis Foot
snatching a goal in the dying seconds of the game to
level the scores. With this draw the boys finished 6th
overall and were in the playoffs for 5th /6th position
against O’Connor, in an enthralling and entertaining
game the skill of our players outclassed O’Connor with
Zac Thurlow, Lewis Foot and Andrew de Souza all
scoring goals. I must mention Morgan Hart’s superb
goal which was denied by the umpire.
Special mention must go to Taylor Kirkwood who
umpired the majority of the following matches as part of
our duty and also to Ryan Johnston and Lewis Foot who
assisted him.
SFX Boys’ Hockey team: Lautaro Brieva, Austin
Davis, Andrew de Souza, Lewis Foot, Morgan
Hart, Cooper Houston, Ryan Johnston, Taylor
Kirkwood, Jesse Swain, Zac Thurlow, Bryce
Kennedy and Joel Oliver.
The first game for the girls was played early in the
morning on frost covered grass against Red Bend
Forbes. Both teams spent a lot of time slipping over and
there were a few cases of bad grass burns. We were
narrowly beaten 4-5. Conditions improved as the day
went on and we won the rest of the games that day and
progressed to the semi-finals on Friday against St
Joseph’s Gosford. This was a hard fought game that we
eventually tied 1-1 but because we had beaten them in
the previous game, we went into the finals against Red
Bend. SFX girls did not give an inch and despite Jacqui
Wrightson being carted off with a suspected broken
wrist after a furious tackle, we hung on to win 1-0. This
was such a moving moment as SFX Girls hadn’t won
since 1995.
Special mention goes to our Captain/Coach, Angelica
Purcell whose mother and sisters came along to Lithgow
to support the team and volunteer some much
appreciated umpiring. Our first time Goalie, Isabel
Powell, was fearless and nothing much got past her
while Lauren Daly played most matches with an ice
pack strapped to her injured hip. All the girls, led by an
exuberant Jessica Grosskreutz, belted out a stirring
rendition of ‘Sub Tuum’ at the beginning of each game
and this helped to spur them on to play the best they
could. Injuries and broken nails aside, this was a very
exciting and rewarding trip and the exemplary behaviour
and good sportsmanship displayed by the team, made the
2014 CCC Hockey Championships a memorable
occasion and an event the College can be proud of.
SFX Girls’ Hockey team: Minerva Bailey, Lauren
Daly, Abbie Dowdell, Sophia De With, Mikala
Fulmer, Eliza Gardiner, Jessica Grosskreutz,
Madeleine Jordan, Madison McLachlan, Isabel
Powell, Angelica Purcell, Jacqueline Wrightson
