PRAYER - from Cardinal Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster

“We pray for the repose of the soul of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We do so with confidence, because the Christian faith marked every day of her life and activity.

In her Millennium Christmas message, she said, ‘To many of us, our beliefs are of fundamental importance. For me the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life. I, like so many of you, have drawn great comfort in difficult times from Christ’s words and example.’

This faith, so often and so eloquently proclaimed in her public messages, has been an inspiration to me, and I am sure to many. The wisdom, stability and service which she consistently embodied, often in circumstances of extreme difficulty, are a shining legacy and testament to her faith.

Our prayer is that she is now received into the merciful presence of God, there to be reunited with her beloved Prince Philip. This is the promise of our faith, and our deep consolation.

Queen Elizabeth II will remain, always, a shining light in our history. May she now rest in peace”

Our deepest condolences are with the families and friends of those lost in the Buxton tragedy, the first responders and community of Buxton. We offer our thoughts and prayers to the students and staff of Picton High.

Good luck to our Year 9 students who are currently preparing for Camp on Thursday and Friday of Week 9. The camp is an outstanding opportunity to promote student leadership and allow our students to challenge themselves and push themselves outside of their comfort zone. Also, a big thank you to the staff members that are attending the camp and supporting our Year 9 students on this important journey.

A focus of my address last Tuesday at the Polding House led College Assembly was the significance that both St Benedict and Bishop Bede Polding placed on the importance of respecting the integrity and dignity for all. These values guide us in our relationships with others particularly in how to treat others not only face to face but also online. I know that many students were disappointed to hear that within our community there are some students that have been disrespectful to others via online messaging. The types of messages have included;

• sending incorrect information about or posting embarrassing photos or videos of someone on social media
• sending hurtful or threatening messages, Images or videos
• impersonating someone and sending messages to others on their behalf or through phoney accounts.

Our Wellbeing team have been supporting those students and families who have experienced this disturbing behaviour and we continue to work with our students in promoting and educating them in safe and respectful online behaviour. Below is a webinar that may assist parents and families supporting their children.

Cyberbullying and Online Drama: CCSP Webinar for parents and carers of young people aged 11-18 years

In partnership with the eSafety Commissioner, the Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT (CCSP) is running a free webinar designed for parents and carers of young people aged 11 to 18 years old.

Dear St Benedict’s Community,

Got a niggling feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’re just not themselves. Trust your instinct and act on it. By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes you’ve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up. Sometimes just listening or being present to another is all that is needed.

I think the most important thing is letting them know you’re there to listen. If people don’t want to talk, that’s fine as well. It may open up a conversation at a later point. Sometimes it’s a matter of just listening and giving them an opportunity to unload.

I encourage you also to check in with yourself - this is at times quite hard to do. It can also be equally hard to reach out and say to another - I AM NOT OK!

The communities of Buxton and Picton plus surrounding areas have been rocked by the tragic news of five young lives lost in a single vehicle accident on Tuesday night.

We keep in our prayers all who have been affected by this event - families, friends, communities, schools, first responders plus the young driver.

Lord, have mercy

on those who mourn

who feel numb and crushed

and are filled with the pain of grief,

whose strength has given up

You know all our sighing and longings:

be near to us and teach us to fix our hope on you

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

We also pray for the young people who have lost their lives - Lily, Summer, Gabriella, Tyrese and Antonio.

Eternal rest grant unto these young people, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them. May each of them rest in peace.

PRAYER

CEODOW - Ripples - Episode 31 - LINK

Ripples is a PODCAST developed for staff and parents on-going spiritual formation. It seeks to offer a space where people can draw on the wisdom of a series of guest speakers and can experience some treasured stillness through meditation. Practices like these create a ripple effect. They have the potential to impact the way we respond to family, friends, colleagues, to creation and to God. Come and enjoy some Inspired Voices and Treasured Stillness.

The Blessing and Opening of the Hall took place last Thursday. It was a most wonderful liturgy and a great collaboration between St Benedict’s and St Justin’s.

It was wonderful to have Most Reverend Bishop Brian Mascord, Mr Peter Hill, Director of Schools, Mr Peter Sidgreaves - State Member for Camden, Fr David Catterall - Parish Priest of St Mary MacKillop, Oran Park and special guests from the Catholic Education Office, Wollongong.

Our principal Kerrie Piatek, said the new College hall that we share with St Justin’s is a fabulous flexible space for assemblies, liturgies, performing arts events, and sports activities that can also double as a wonderful social space for their wider community.

Mr Hill let the students know that they are one of the great success stories of the diocese.

"You are both super-schools when it comes to living the Catholic faith, your learning, and being bearers of Christ’s love in the Oran Park area—which just happens to be the fastest growing region in the diocese," he said. "Nearly 10 years since we moved onto the land where we stand today, I’m delighted that we’ve been able to contribute again to what is already a very special extended school community with the addition of these new facilities."

"I hope this magnificent hall, and all of its facilities assist you to continue being super-learners, to come together more often to embrace, serve, nourish and respond, and you continue to be bearers of Christ's love for all to see."

On Monday, students in Years 9-12 received an email from Atomi inviting them to the Atomi learning platform. Atomi helps students and teachers work better together with thousands of video lessons, interactive quizzes and personalised revision recommendations powered by AI.

Atomi lessons are easy to understand, interesting from start to finish and only cover the information you need. They combine the experience of senior teachers, exam markers and expert lesson designers. Each lesson incorporates the latest research in pedagogy

and neuroscience in order to maximise engagement and retention.

We have organised a trial of Atomi for 10 weeks. Students are encouraged to make use of this resource, particularly Years 11 and 12 students with their exam revision. If you have not yet done so already, please go to your Gmail inbox and complete the activation of your account. The email came from "Atomi"

To make sure students know how to log in, build their own past papers, access work assigned by their teachers, etc, watch this quick 7-minute video that steps through it all.

Last week the Prime Minister announced that the isolation period for people who test positive for COVID-19 would be reduced from 7 days to 5 days from Friday 9 September.

What this means for students and school staff.

From Monday 12 September (Week 9, Term 3), staff, students and visitors who test positive to COVID-19 must:

• Complete 5 days of isolation from the date they tested positive;

• Be symptom-free before returning to school (if symptoms remain after day 5 they must continue self-isolating and follow NSW Health guidelines);

• Receive a negative rapid antigen test (RAT) result before attending school after their isolation period is complete (the result does NOT need to be provided to the school);

• Wear a mask on days 6 and 7 when attending school (for all staff and for students aged 12 years and older).

Exceptions to the reduced isolation period

Due to the higher risk associated with some school settings and activities, the 7-day isolation period will remain for staff, students and visitors who have tested positive to COVID-19 and work at or attend specialist learning settings, assisted transport or overnight excursions.

Staff, students, and visitors may return to these higher risk settings after isolating for 7 days from the date they tested positive if they are symptom-free.

Questions or concerns

Thank you for the ongoing support and care you have shown for our school community. As we enter spring and the weather warms up, it is important to continue taking steps to keep ourselves and others safe.

We can all play a part by:

• Staying home and testing if unwell, even with the mildest of symptoms;
• Reminding your child of the importance of good personal hygiene (including sanitising and washing hands, coughing into their elbow, and avoiding touching their eyes, nose and mouth);
• Informing the school if your child has returned a positive COVID-19 test result;
• Following NSW Health advice for close contacts and positive cases.

If you have any questions or concerns about this change or any other matter related to COVID-19, please contact the school by phone or email.

The Year 7-8 MISA Netball team have had a fun and great experience this year. We finished the season by winning our finals and coming third overall with a score of 34-22 against Oran Park Anglican College. The team had great sportsmanship and the teamwork from them was amazing. We went to every game with a positive attitude and learnt a lot. The team this year was a great mix with many different abilities but the skills of everyone on the court made an amazing and high intensity game. We would like to thank Miss Lorking for being an excellent and helpful coach and to thank the scorers and umpires. - Annaliese B (Year 8)

This term I had the pleasure of coaching the Year 10-12 boys in the MISA competition.

The team was made up of a group of year 10 and 11 boys, some with AFL experience but the vast majority coming to try a new sport.

The weather played havoc with the start of the season and due to the bye rounds, consistency was hard to come by.

However, the boys kept turning up each week, and each time they played together improvement was on the rise.

The boys ended up finishing 2nd and found themselves playing the top of the ladder team of Oran Park Anglican.

The grand final was the best game the boys had played all season. No matter their skill or experience level each player worked hard to contest for the ball, the tackling pressure was through the roof, and perhaps the most pleasing thing about the game each and every boy played for each other. No one was selfish and each time someone did something whether it was a good play or a mistake the boys got around each other and congratulated each other.

During the game, the team was not in control and in the end went on to win 61-25.

Congratulations to the boys on their hard work and a great win. I hope to see them back next season.

St Benedict’s have done it, a dominant 5-0 victory in the Grand Final capping off what was a fantastic season. After a season where the Bennies boys won all games in the regular season in convincing fashion, the ultimate test awaited in the Grand Final. The opponents, the also undefeated William Carey Christian School from the other side of the draw. The boys prepared well and approached the game with their usual focus and application.

From the outset, it was clear that the Bennies boys were there to play, enjoying long spells of possession, stopping attacks in their tracks and looking to launch into attack quickly. The first goal came as a result of a penalty after a long build up, and Koby R dispatched the penalty with confidence. Shortly after, Jayden W doubled the advantage, keeping up his record of scoring in every game. Before you could blink, another penalty was given for a rough foul in the box. This time, Ayden P stepped up and converted into the top right hand corner of the goal.

Half time arrived and the talk at half time revolved around keeping control of the game and the Bennies Boys executed the game plan to perfection. Rounding out the game with two goals in the second half, with the truth being that the scoreline could have blown out even further.

Congratulations to these boys for the effort, dedication and spirit throughout the season. Hopefully there are many more victories to come!

The Year 9 and 10 M.I.S.A. Bennies football team managed to complete the double, with a tight 2-1 victory in the Grand Final, also against William Carey Christian School. The Bennies boys dominated proceedings, as their undefeated record during the season would have suggested, but could not crack the sturdy William Carey defence. After a tight first half, the second half proceeded to be an end-to-end affair, with both sides possessing numerous attacking talents that threatened to break open the deadlock.

The match came to life at the end of the second half, with Ethan C scoring a well-taken goal that looked to have won the game a minute before full-time. There were more twists and turns to come however, as William Carey were able to score with the last attack of the game, slotting home to take the game to extra time.

Extra time was a tense affair, as it usually is on these occasions. The decisive moment came during the first period of extra time, when an excellent diagonal pass found Ethan C who took an excellent touch into the box and won a penalty. Ivan D stepped up and with his own team and the Year 7 and 8 team looking on, calmly slotted home. In what were awesome scenes, both teams were able to celebrate their grand final victories together.

Congratulations to these boys on an excellent season.

Congratulations to the 2022 HSC Design and Technology class for completing outstanding Major Design Projects this year.

Students completing a Major Design Project must identify and solve a genuine design problem. This is done through authentic research, testing and experimenting and lots of evaluation.

From protest fashion to a regional site designed for the community of Crookwell, to body positive and appropriate swimwear for young girls, educational bullying resources for high school students, e-waste jewellery, home art pieces, a pill box dispenser, interchangeable baseball cleats, zero waste bag collection, dog collar that holds a tracking device, turbine engineering project for STEM students, recycled denim clothing range and a new motorpark design, 2022 Design and Technology have solved problems and created quality solutions.

As Year 12's Design and Technology teacher this year I have enjoyed watching students solve their design problems and grow as designers. I look forward to hearing their design success stories in the future.

Well done Year 12 Design and Technology!

Wednesday of Week 6 Year 10 departed for their Outdoor Education program at Camp Somerset, which is located in the beautiful Colo Valley just past Windsor.

Students experienced a range of settings and activities that have been developed to improve their self-confidence and resilience. Once we arrived at Camp Somerset, we unpacked our bags and loaded up our rucksacks. The cohort participated in activities that were fun whilst at the same time challenged them physically and mentally. These included a high ropes course, kayaking and the ‘River Run’.

By far the most challenging activity was the hike. This pitted the young men and women against themselves over an 8km trek carrying their rucksacks. The sheer determination of the groups was phenomenal. They showed tremendous courage and camaraderie whilst completing this difficult task.

Special thanks must go to the absolutely fabulous group of teachers that accompanied the group. Giving up time away from their own families, they have helped the students develop very important attributes for the many hardships that life may throw at them.

The CAPA Department has been hive of activity for the last two weeks. Year 12 Drama had the practical component of their course marked for the HSC, Visual Art handed in their Body of Work for HSC marking and the Year 12 Music students had their HSC marking day today. Thank you to Mr Hayden, Mr O’Donnell and Mrs Castelli for working with our students preparing them, and a thank you to Mrs Koryzma and Mrs Andonpoulos for supporting both teachers and students. The hard work is not over yet though as we are now preparing for the theory component of each course with the HSC Examinations coming up. We wish our Year 12 students well for the last few weeks of school.

Year 11 have had their final assessments as well as having their preliminary examinations coming up. Students are encouraged to seek assistance from their teachers should they need it. Wishing you all the best of luck as you complete your Preliminary Course in Drama, Music and Visual Art.

As part of the PDHPE First Aid unit and the SLR course, Year 11 and 12 students had the opportunity to participate in a First Aid course offered at the College on Monday 22 August. External instructors from Vital First Aid delivered the course content with students having to complete a range of practical and theoretical components to successfully complete the course. As a result of participating in the course, students have achieved a formal First Aid qualification that is recognised in the workforce. The course also complements the content being studied in the Preliminary First Aid topic in PDHPE.

The qualification is nationally recognised and provides participants with the skills necessary, not only to be the first aid representative at a workplace, but also to help family and friends in emergency situations. Students enjoyed learning from the parametric presenters who shared their real life experiences and gave great context to the learning of the content. The trainers ensured that the students’ day was fun, enjoyable and most importantly that they gained the skills necessary to make a difference in an emergency.

All students worked well throughout the day and through the pre-course activities. There were comments made by all of the instructors about the exceptional behaviour and effort that our students displayed. Congratulations to all students involved in both gaining this valuable qualification and for representing the school so well.

This week Year 7 English are finalising their study of Tim Winton's iconically Australian novel Blueback.

Students were able to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of the text especially the intention Winton had in writing the tale about the big blue Groper.

Students became aware that it was not just a story about a boy and a fish but a touching story about heroism, sustainability and the dangers of greed.

Students created their own interpretations of the text by selecting activities from a choice board. where they were in control of what they wanted to create and focus on.

Their creations were a collection of digital and hard copy pieces of work and their peers were able to view these and comment on their work using two stars and a wish feedback

9.FTE2 have been cooking up a storm down in the food technology rooms. Here are some of their wonderful creations!

It has been another busy couple of weeks for the Social Justice team. Year 9 members organised a staff v student State of Origin series in Oztag on Tuesdays during Week 4, 6 and 8. There was such a huge positive response to these games, that more and more students began to ask for more games.

This led the Year 9s to establish a Year 12 soccer game against staff. Unfortunately for the students, the staff won again! I was then sent numerous emails from Year 12 students who challenged staff to a rematch but again, staff won! This week, we had Year 11 play basketball against staff and guess what happened? STAFF WON! Let’s hope next week, the Year 12 basketball team can bring a win in for the students, as the rivalry is now huge!

On behalf of the Social Justice team, a massive thank you to all the staff and students who volunteered their time to participate in each of the games and a big thank you to all students and staff who attended the games to show their support. It has been quite a fun time at recess and lunch.

This week we celebrated RU OK Day with Ella F in Year 12 being the main driver behind this initiative. Ella, along with her friends, created posters and a Google Slide presentation that was shared school wide, to show students how to ask that important question, are you ok?

By doing this, we are empowering our students to start a meaningful conversation that could help to change a life. We are supporting this year’s message that ‘no qualifications are needed’ to help support our friends, family members and colleagues.

On Thursday, the BBQ returned to the playground with students and staff buying 300 sausages to support our focus on Catholic Missions this week. Thank you to all Year 12 and Year 10 students along with Mr Topham, Mrs Howe, Mrs Howlett, Mrs Camilleri and Mrs Miller for helping to organise, run and cook the BBQ. Students are encouraged to check out Compass notifications and announcements for updates on more BBQs to come.

If you would like to join Social Justice and help us to make a difference in the lives of others and to be part of a team of 54 students who are passionate about social justice in the community, then please speak with or email Mrs Castelli.

Social Justice Coordinator

Applications are now open for the University of Wollongong's Summer Master Class program. Classes are open to students commencing Year 12 in Term 4, 2022, and are offered across a range of subjects.

Students who successfully pass their Summer Master Class subject will, at a minimum, be guaranteed a conditional offer or admissions interview to a degree that aligns to the Summer Master Class subject they complete (noting must meet the assumed subject knowledge criteria), and credit towards a UOW degree that could make them eligible to skip a whole subject when they study at UOW.

UOW will be running two public online information sessions via Zoom: 7.00 pm, Tuesday 30 August 2022 7.00 pm, Wednesday 7 September 2022. Students and their families can access further information or book a spot to attend an information session by visiting: https://www.uow.edu.au/engage/outreach-pathways/year-12/year-12-summer/

Here are a few of our Challengers receiving their prize pack from the Library. Official 2022 Premier’s Reading Challenge Awards will be presented next term at the College Assembly.

St Benedict’s students and staff have access to both a physical library and a digital library (Sora).

CEDoW has clear and consistent guidelines on text collections within our system of schools.

The St Benedict’s college library collection is balanced with print and digital resources that are diverse and informed by learning and teaching requirements. Resources purchased or made available by the college are carefully selected in consultation with college staff. College library text collections contain broad, general and specific selection criteria for education resources.

Library staff make decisions on age-appropriate resource suitability as texts are purchased by the college. This age-appropriateness is guided by author and publisher recommendations as well as bookshop and recommended website reviews. However, most importantly, library staff apply professional knowledge and experience to ensure resources are relevant and suitable, and that the collection as a whole is balanced. Junior students are sometimes unable to borrow texts in the library that are considered more suitable to older students at the College. However, a written permission note from the student’s parent or guardian giving consent to allow books catalogued as ‘suitable for Year 9+” may be submitted to the Library which will then be added to the student’s profile.

There are many fantastic opportunities available for students at our College. Unfortunately many of those experiences are not photographed due to student permission to publish forms not being submitted to the College Office.

If your student has been involved in a sporting team or extra curricular activity but their photo has not been published in the newsletter please complete the permission to publish form and lodge the form at the College Office.
