Dear Parents, Students and Friends of the College,Welcome to Term 3. It is good to be back at work after a few weeks of leave. I am lucky to have such fine senior staff to cover when I am away. Seven of our staff have spent time in Africa over the break. Director of Identity, Ms Jo Hart, took part in an immersion program in Kenya and Tanzania and the following staff, Ric and Michelle Brodrick, Erin Norman, Mark Stracey, Chris Lynch and Jack Jurica have been working in the area of teacher education in Uganda. All have returned safely and significantly enriched as a consequence of their experiences.

Hopefully over the coming weekend each family will find time to support our hardworking Parents and Friends group by attending the Artisan Market in the school gymnasium. The market is open Saturday and Sunday and entertainment is guaranteed for the cost of a gold coin.

The staff commenced the term with two days of in-service. The first of these was a combined gathering with staff from the other Catholic Secondary Colleges of the district to hear renowned scripture scholar Dr Amy-Jill Levine. Day two was devoted to literacy and Restorative Practices.

Term 3 is always a busy one and for us this year especially so with the production “All Shook Up” from 14-16 August at the Playhouse Theatre - Geelong Performing Arts Centre. Tickets for this event can be purchased from the College. The first week of term will include two formal days of review from external educational assessors around the future strategic directions and the School Improvement Framework.

News from the Deputies

A warm welcome to Term 3. We hope that all our families braved the cold and enjoyed the Term 2 holidays. With the start of Term 3 comes the opportunity for a fresh start with Semester 2 subjects. All students should look at the recent examination period as an opportunity to decide where improvement could and should be made in order to improve their outcomes. Working consistently throughout the whole semester is a key to ensuring the boys are well prepared when their next examination opportunity occurs at the end of the year.SUBJECT SELECTIONFor the boys in Years 9, 10 & 11 the next few weeks are extremely important for their selection of subjects for 2015. Students will be given the opportunity to attend subject talks to provide information relating to specific VCE subject areas and to ask any questions they might have. In week 3 on both Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 July afternoon/evening, subject selection interviews will be held for all Year 10 boys with their parent/s or carer/s.Our aim with this subject selection process is to try to ensure that students make informed choices for their VCE. While there are many factors to consider when choosing VCE subjects, the most important thing to remember is that students will perform better if they have an interest in the subject and enjoy studying it.It must be noted that Semester 1 results are used by staff when accepting students into subjects for the following

year and students are not guaranteed acceptance to a subject simply because they want to take it on. Staff acceptance is based on a judgement that a student is adequately prepared and therefore capable of successfully undertaking the subject at that level.Specifically, students must have demonstrated the required aptitude and work ethic for the subject otherwise their VCE years will result in more anxiety than is already the case.We would encourage all students to make the most of the first two and a half weeks of this term to ask as many questions as possible so that they are ready to submit their subject selections by the due date. We would also encourage parents and carers to contact the school to ask any questions they might have relating to subject choices.WESTCOURT EXPOWe would like to congratulate the Westcourt students and staff on the very impressive Westcourt Expo held on the last Thursday of Term 2. The Expo was planned to display and demonstrate what the Year 9 boys had achieved in their first semester. There was a real buzz around the Campus as parents and staff visiting from other schools went from subject areas where the students were running workshops, to displays where they were explaining what they did in the subject and why. There was a very strong sense of student engagement in and enthusiasm for their learning and great pride in their acheivements.Congratulations to the Year 9 students and Westcourt staff for a wonderful experience for all those who attended.Claire Brown & Paul Clohesy - Deputy Principals

VCE PRESENTATIONSLunchtime presentations are being held this week and next week for Year 10 students to learn more about their VCE subject choices for next year. Year 9 students interested in studying a VCE subject will also attend selected talks at the main campus. All students will be making subject selections this term and are encouraged to seek assistance with their choices through discussions with their teachers, Karen Shum (Careers), Jarrod Gore (VET) and Year Level Coordinators.TRIAL OF BOOKINGS FOR PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS IN TERM 3This term we will trial a different system for Parent Teacher Interviews by asking parents/carers to make appointments with teachers via the Parent Access Module. These interviews are scheduled for Thursday 28 August and Friday 29 August. We trialled this system with our Year 12 interviews this term and are keen to try this new system with our Year 7-11 interviews. We will be asking parents for their feedback following these interviews before making a decision for future years. More information will be sent to parents when bookings are open. Michelle Brodrick - Director of Curriculum

Careers in Term 3

Welcome back to school and a busy and exciting Term 3. In the first few weeks of Term 3, Year 10 students will be considering their subject and pathway choices for next year. Last term, during Careers Week, students and parents were provided with the ‘Where To Now’ book.This book is an excellent resource to assist students with pathway choices and planning. Another very helpful resource is a publication called Victer. This book is published in early Term 3 and is used by students to confirm pre-requisite subject choices for university. It will be made available to students via the Careers Blog and will also be available to view in the College Library. Students should also aim to attend the relevant subject information sessions which will be held during the next three weeks. If your son is still unsure of what to do, after accessing these resources and information opportunities, please contact the Careers Coordinator at the Careers Office to make an appointment. Term 3 is a very important time for Year 12 students. In August, students apply to the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC), to place preferences for TAFE and University choices in 2015. The Careers Coordinator will be providing a Careers Program to all Year 12 students starting week 3. This program will cover applying for higher education courses through VTAC and interstate admissions centres, Plan B pathway options, career development and planning post school, and using social media positively to enhance career opportunities. Careers counselling is available to students who are confused or unsure of what to do post school. If your son needs help with his plans for 2015, he is welcome to make an appointment with the Careers Coordinator. Karen Shum - Careers Coordinator

“Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other - it doesn’t matter who it is - and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other.” - Mother TeresaA rainy day was brightened by the smiles of about 90 children, at the Refugee holiday program, held at SHC on Thursday 10 July. A team of SJC boys, alongside students from SHC, Clonard and St Ignatius, spent the day smiling and creating smiles. Great fun was had playing ball games, juggling, creating masks, folding origami, weaving loom bands, scaling the rock climbing wall, and dancing. The range of activities, a shared lunch, and the universal language of the smile, fostered friendships between our students and the children of local Refugee families. In demonstrating enthusiasm, initiative and playfulness, our boys are to be commended for acting in the true spirit of Edmund Rice and showing compassion and love for others. Carmen Ahearn

On the first day of term our staff attended a full-day seminar from Dr Amy-Jill Levine. She spoke for more than four hours about Jesus. Wow! I felt inspired all over again to return to the gospels and reconnect with this man of compassion, charisma and love. This week I would like to share with you a reflection I wrote a few years ago that is based on a story at the end of chapter 1 in the Gospel of Mark, which begins with Jesus visiting Peter’s sick mother-in-law. The reflection is written through the eyes of St Peter, speaking near the end of his life.What a day that was.I wasn’t at the synagogue with James and John and the others, because I was looking after Mum. She’s my wife’s mother actually, but I called her Mum. We were supposed to have tea ready because our new friend Jesus was coming but the house was in chaos.When Jesus arrived he didn’t care at all about the meal. He wanted to go straight up to Mum. Although they became great friends later, they hardly knew each other at that stage. Yet Jesus took her so gently by the hand - and she just got up. She was only too happy to make our tea.I was quiet during that meal, mulling over mum’s instant recovery, when there was a tap at the door and an old man from the town was there. He had always had a crook back and had been bent over for as long as I could remember. He asked if he could see Jesus. Jesus was still wiping some crumbs from his mouth as he came up behind me. He and the man looked at each other for a moment and then Jesus smiled. Without a word He warmly placed his hand on the old boy’s back, and slowly, slowly he straightened. Eventually they were embracing, and then in the twinkling of an eye, more people appeared – and they kept on coming.Jesus sat on the step outside and greeted them one by one. Although they waited for a long time, no-one complained. There was an air of excitement in the crowd. I just watched – spellbound by this man.Each person left happy, and healed. Jesus seemed to have a special word for those who were troubled in the mind in one way or another. They left calmer, relaxed, loved.If you ask me, it was His look that cured them. The eyes.

Sometimes delicately filling with tears, other times smiling. Always compassionate. Always fully engaged with the person in front of him. I was still dreaming about those eyes the next morning, when a growing din could be heard outside the door. And there they were again.A new crowd. I went to wake Jesus who I thought would be sleeping in because he looked physically and emotionally drained at the end of the previous night, but he was nowhere to be seen.When James and John and I went looking for him we found him alone, gazing out over the lake. Talking quietly to his Father.He turned toward us, and he was fresh and relaxed and his eyes were on fire.“We have to go” he said. “I must preach in the other places, because that’s what I came for”.I couldn’t understand it – I thought what about all the people in town who are still sick?But we went and very soon it made sense. I realised that his preaching was also healing.There were still physical healings – they kind of added to his authority. But it was the emotional healing and liberation that really affected me. When Jesus spoke, you could almost see the backs straightening, the colour coming back to people’s faces, the shining in eyes that had been dull for too long. His words healed far more than his hands ever did. He gave people hope, he told them they were loved and they believed him and knew it to be true. He gave them a reason to get out of bed in the mornings. He gave us the passion for living truthfully and justly.I am an old man now – but those twenty-four hours come back to me often. How the Lord showed us a pattern for ministry – the personal care for my mum and the people on the step, the prayer to sustain and inspire him and his preaching of God’s word.As we carry on His mission we realise that pattern of personal care, prayer and preaching is vital. When one of them is missing, everything goes awry. Ironically since Jesus left us, our preaching is kind of more powerful than his. Because we can tell people that he is God’s Son and with us until the end of time. It was ages before he told us about being God’s Son. He wanted us to come to know him in his humanity first. That’s why he used to shut the demons up. Jesus wanted us to piece the story together in our own good time. He knew it was not easy for us to understand how someone so strong and powerful like him could willingly suffer and die for love.And now it seems that I too must suffer and die for love. At times I become despondent. And then I see someone encounter the Lord again through us, his Church - through our personal care, preaching and prayer. I see people walk a bit taller or see the spark return to their eyes. I see people living lives of love and I know that he is still with us – to the end of time. John Harmon - Chaplaincy and Liturgy Coordinator

St Joseph’s College is delighted to offer you an opportunity to experience a lifetime memory with your son at the annual ‘Mother & Son’ Night.This innovative single evening program is part of some special transition events that we offer our Year 7 students and it is happening here in our school community on the evening of Wednesday 6 August.

Times of transition can be a major event in our boys’ lives. As their ride on the adolescent roller coaster continues, their teenage years fly by. They are growing up and the opportunity to reflect on the challenges and the joys being faced by you and them is one not to be missed.

This is a great night for the boys as they witness their mothers discussing what it means to them to be a mum (or mentor) and see how you handle the ‘letting go’ process as they start to forge some independence.

We are bringing Bill Jennings to our school to facilitate this unique experience for you. Bill is the creator and founder of ‘Time & Space’ (www.time-space.com.au) a service he has developed to give people just that – ‘time and space’ for parents and their children to share important moments together in a school community setting. This program has a whole range of memorable moments that include carefully guided interactions with other mothers and their sons.

Mothers will emerge from the night reassured and impressed by the way our students are able to speak up and share insights about their life.And be assured that the night is fun too… full of activities and conversations that will make us smile as well. Come along and enjoy a unique gift – dedicated time with each other in the midst of the special community atmosphere that we have here at your son’s new school, St Joseph’s College.

To register please:Visit the link http://bit.ly/SJC-2014 Or email [email protected]

This helps with our activity planning for the session. This session is exclusive to Year 7. If you have any other enquiries, please call reception on (03) 5226 8100.

We know that families come in all shapes and sizes. If a boy’s mother is not around, a grandmother, step-mother, aunty or other female mentor is welcome.
