Dear Parents, Students and Friends  

OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS CARE FEASIBILITY STUDY  

I write to inform our College community of the outcome of the recently completed study into the feasibility of establishing an on‐site Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) at the Balmoral  Campus.  In response to a formal submission from a number of families, a mul ‐stage process was ini ‐ated to evaluate the proposal.  Following preliminary work undertaken in 2018, it came to light that a regional agreement had been put into place by the Catholic Educa on Commission of Western Australia (CECWA) prohibi ng local partner Catholic schools (including UFCC) from establishing an OSHC program.  This agreement was linked to the establishment of the Holy Name Early Learning and Care Centre, Carlisle in 2012.  The College then sought and was  granted in‐principle approval to con nue with the evalua on process.  The approval also noted that if the outcome of the study was favourable, the College would then have to seek CECWA approval to lodge a licence applica on.   The review took into account a number of considera ons including licencing requirements, loca on, program delivery, management and opera onal structures,  mes of opera on, a endees and financial sustainability.  The study concluded that an OSHC program is not part of the College core business and would therefore cons tute a major change to daily opera‐ons.  The most significant determinate was the availability of a suitable space that would

space from an OSHC centre to an opera onal classroom and back again, before and a er school each day would be a significant physical  undertaking.  As such, general access to this area would be reduced, encroaching on up to two hours of learning  me each day.  With  increased student enrolments, a broadening curriculum, specialist and support classes, expanding instrumental and band programs and facili‐es for our external providers already at a premium, this area will con nue to be used in these capaci es into the foreseeable future.  As 

such, a lack of proper access to this space would seriously compromise the daily opera on of the Balmoral Campus.  

Given the adverse finding in rela on to this and some other key determinates, the College Board and Execu ve Leadership Team have  resolved not to seek approval from CECWA to pursue an applica on for a licence to establish a College based Outside School Hours Care  program.  

As this ma er is now concluded, I wish to thank those from within and beyond the Frayne community who assisted with the various aspects of this complex and lengthy discernment process.  They are to be commended for the rigorous, thorough and well considered manner in which the study was undertaken.  

PREPAREDNESS AND VIGILANCE  

Given the recent outbreak of the COVID‐19 virus in South Australia, our College community is reminded that con nued awareness of good hygiene prac ces and ongoing vigilance are essen al.  While the risk in our state remains very low, the following precau ons are s ll neces‐sary to prevent the spread of COVID‐19:  

Clean your hands o en.  Use soap and water, or an alcohol‐based hand rub.  Maintain a safe distance from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.  Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.  Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a  ssue when you cough or sneeze.  Stay home if you feel unwell.  If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical a en on.  

With regards and best wishes.  

Mr Geoff Mills, Principal

CLIMATE CLEVER KIDS  

‘Climate Clever Kids’ are a group of environmentally aware and proac ve students in Years 3 to 6.  They meet once a week and are learning about sustainable prac ces to help reduce the school’s and their own environmental impact.  In an effort to become more aware of the nega ve impacts of plas c on the environment, the children learnt a clever way to recycle and reuse plas c.  With the College’s affilia on and par cipa on in a ClimateClever research project, the group had a visit from researcher Hannah Fay.  Armed with sandwich presses, Teflon sheets and stainless steel bowls, the students learnt how to reuse small pieces of plas c from common household items such as shampoo containers and laundry packaging. The result was prac cal, colourful and deligh ul! The upcycled bowls were proudly admired and ideas filled the room with poten al uses ranging from paper clip containers to jewellery bowls.  Well done Climate Clever Kids and as a community let’s con nue to think of prac cal ways to reduce our carbon footprint and promote environmental stewardship.

CHRIST THE KING  

It can sound a bit out of tune with our democra c world today to call Christ, King of the Universe.  One can imagine the full picture of a King as; throne, crown, castle, servants and an army.  However, when we turn to Christ this label does not fit at all.  No throne, no castle, no serv‐ants, no army.  He possessed a crown of thorns and gave his life serving us. Yet Christ is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.  

“Yes, I am a King, I came into the world for this: to bear witness to the truth and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice” Jesus  answered at his trial before Pilate.  But his Kingdom is not of this world and Pilate, unable to see beyond this confusing world, asks; what is truth?  Pilate was living in a Kingdom of lies, worried about what people would think, concerned only to keep his posi on and abused power.  He could not see the answer to the ques on that was before him, Christ, the truth of God.  What is this truth?  The essen al truth is that God is love and God loves us so much that he sent Christ into the world and Christ bears witness perfectly to the love of God on the cross.  

We can be as confused as Pilate in our life, feeling the struggle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world; the kingdom of truth and the kingdom of lies.  Which kingdom is within me?  Stop trying to be the King and Queen of your life.  Stop crea ng a kingdom of lies around you.  Let Christ be your King and experience his kingdom of truth and love.
