A Catholic Boys' School in the Edmund Rice Tradition catering for Years 5 to 12

Dear Members of the St. Patrick’s College Community This morning I attended the inaugural St. Patrick’s College Foundation Business Breakfast in the Waterford Building. Nearly 100 guests attended the breakfast and listened to St. Patrick’s College Old Boy and Courier Mail editor, Michael Crutcher. It was an excellent morning with Michael reflecting on his journey both as a student at St. Patrick’s College and as a journalist. It was a very interesting story. I wish to thank the St. Patrick’s College Foundation Board for their support of this event and, in particular, Stacey Bishop for her outstanding work in coordinating the morning. The breakfast also provided the opportunity to launch the St. Patrick’s College Foundation 2013 Annual Appeal which will specifically target the Scholarship Fund. A copy of the appeal letter will be sent to all families in the coming weeks and I certainly ask that you consider supporting the appeal. By raising funds through the Scholarship Fund, St. Patrick’s College will be able to offer a St. Patrick’s College education to students who might otherwise not have had that opportunity. I will provide further information over the coming weeks. This week the College musical is being presented, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. The students from both St. Patrick’s College and St. John Fisher College, along with the staff involved, have been working very hard since the beginning of the year. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased from the College Library. I encourage all members of the College community to come along, support the students and have a great time. During this week a number of staff and students have been participating in the ‘Live on $2 a Day’ campaign. This involves the participants covering all of their food expenses with only $2 per day. The aim is to simulate what millions of people across the world do every day of their lives. 10 staff and 30 students, including myself, have accepted the challenge. From my own perspective it has been a very confronting challenge. To buy enough food to live on for $2 is a challenge in itself. However, to have to bypass things that we think are just necessities, such as a nice cup of coffee or some meat in a main meal, is extraordinarily challenging. At the time of printing this week’s edition of the Calling I have adhered to the $2 limit, with the exception of the Business Breakfast on Thursday morning. I commend the staff and students who have participated in the program, in particular Mr Paul Corfield, for his coordination of the event. Last Friday we celebrated our Blessed Edmund Rice Feast Day Mass. It was a very special liturgy and, while I thank all involved, I do want to make special mention of the Year 5 students who led us in various prayers and reflections. To listen to these young men talk confidently and proudly about Edmund Rice, the Touchstones of the Charter and how St. Patrick’s College operates as a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition was extraordinary. My congratulations go to these students. I also congratulate and thank their parents and their teachers, all of whom have played critical roles in shaping these young men. I again remind parents of the NAPLAN tests being held next week. These are important and challenging tests for the students in Years 5, 7 and 9. The teachers have been working with the students to prepare them. However, it is important that during the test days, the boys have early nights, eat well and have the correct equipment for the tests. Your support will certainly assist your sons. Finally this week, I wish all our Mother’s a very happy and enjoyable Mother’s Day. I hope your boys look after you. Have a great week and I hope to see you at the musical. God Bless

Mr David Gardiner College Dean

MOTHERS DAY STALL It was great today to see so many of our young men buying their mother a gift for Mother’s Day. Congratulations to Max-ine Nott and her band of volunteers for giving the boys the opportunity. Particular thanks to Stephanie Ingeri who spent hours preparing so many of the gifts. It was ‘Boxing Day’ sales mayhem with so many boys seeking that special gift for their Mum. It was really nice to see the boys spending time thinking what would Mum like the most and what present would be best for her. Obviously the boys appreciate their Mum’s and I hope they all show that openly on Sunday. I, along with all the boys, know all those little and many big jobs our Mum’s do for us and how really special they are to us. I hope every one of our Mum’s have a very special day on Sunday with your children and family time is paramount. Leadership A couple of significant leadership formation programs are upcoming. On Monday afternoon, our Year 12 House Leaders and College Leaders will be involved in a Leaders Inservice with their House Dean and members of the College Leader-ship Team. On Tuesday 28 May, 30 Year 9 students have been selected to participate in a yLead Altitude Day at the Bris-bane Convention Centre. I will give a letter to those students involved. This is an opportunity for these Year 9 students to network with student s from many other schools and to participate in activities that will challenge their views of leader-ship and to reflect on what it takes to become an effective leader.

SPORT SUPPORT GROUP We wish to thank the parents and friends who assisted us at Curlew Park Canteen on Saturday 4 May. Many hands make light work. Our monthly meeting of volunteer, devoted parents for May will take place on Monday 13 May at 6.00 pm in the Morven Board Room. All parents and friends are welcome, especially those with sons heavily involved in the College and Representative teams programs. This especially includes Football and Rugby parents for the present season. The meeting normally lasts for about an hour. We look forward to welcoming you into our Group.


Daniel Seagrott India Immersion

In trying to describe my time in India, I could explain our itin-erary and nearly four weeks of amazing activities and sights. However, on reflection I think a more effective way of ex-plaining my true experience of India might be by sharing this simple story. The one story that I wish to share with the community is about my experience with the “Untouchables”. The “Untouchables” are a group of about 70 children who are outcast with their Indian community. These children are sadly outcasts or ”Untouchables” because of their families history. The children are born into this class which means that their parents were also outcasts. Once being labeled an untouchable, these chil-dren will remain in this class forever as there is no way out or moving up in the hierarchy order. As they grow older, untouchables can still work but they gen-erally have all of the bad jobs like toilet cleaning, cooking or other small jobs where they make less than 2 rupee per day which is equivalent to 4 cents. Some cases the children can go to work with their parents in these demeaning jobs whilst at least half of the children have to find their own jobs. 44 chil-dren from the untouchables have no proper family meaning they have lost their mother or father. This is the reason why I share this experience over others. These children are born into the worst class and are guaranteed the hardest life in front of them yet they are possibly some of the best children you could ever meet.

The untouchables, led by Sister Magadelene Peter held a pro-gram (commonly referred to as a hearty welcome). This pro-gram included a variety of songs and dances from the young children who were to perform for us. After being to a few hearty welcomes prior to this, I had a reasonable assumption what it is was going to be like. I assumed wrong. These chil-dren had put on what I believed to be the best program or hearty welcome that we had in India. These children per-formed non-stop for 2 hours. The way they could dance and sing for this amount of time was impeccable. Mind you the eldest was 14 and the youngest was 4. However, they didn’t just dance any normal routine for a song. An Indian song on average goes for 6 minutes. These children not only had to practice for a single 6 minute song but many others too. Some children were involved in about 10 different dances which is truly amazing. What hit me half way through the program was 6 of these chil-dren had made it to nationals through competitions. This was amazing to hear in two ways because already knowing that these children received the hardest childhood and will have the hardest life yet they could make nationals is truly spectac-ular. Also they weren’t even dancing at our program which shows that all of the untouchables were fantastic. My feelings after this program were quite mixed between feel-ing sorry for the children and also feeling happy for them. I felt bad that they have to suffer so much during their lifetime. However I felt happy for them because they enjoyed showing us their dancing which they have a passion for. The best mes-sage that interprets my experience with the untouchables is that no matter how hard life is or can be, when you have an opportunity, maximize every little bit of it and you will have success. This was shown through the 6 children who made nationals. They maximized their opportunity.

YEAR 9 STUDENT MAKING A DIFFERENCE

It all began in my Year 9 Religious Education class. We were instructed that in groups, we were to visit Decker Park to cook and serve a hot breakfast to the homeless. I was up for the first week so I wasn’t sure what I was going into.

Anyway we reached Decker Park and I immediately noticed that one of the people had a cattle dog. Whilst preparing the breakfast, I noticed the dog (Tassie) moving back and forth on the bottom of the table. She was actually scratching her back and I later noticed she smelt quite bad, she had fleas and she looked quite unhappy.

So anyway I went up to her owner Wayne and I asked him if he was free on Saturday morning because I would be more than happy to pay for a bath. He agreed and on that Saturday we met up at the Deagon Vet and Tassie had a hydro bath. What Wayne didn’t know was that my mother and I had decided that we would purchase Tassie a flea collar, a worm tablet, a flea tablet, a lead and some food.

You could see Wayne’s eyes light up after know-ing his loyal companion was going to get better. I then put it to him that I would be happy to sup-ply him with food every two weeks and that I would meet him on Pad-dies Van.

This took place on Tues-day just past and Tassie looked much better and happier. The last time I went she seemed very drained whereas today she was waiting for me to throw a stick for her. She was hyper and it was honestly one of the best feelings I’ve ever had; to know that I had made a choice that had benefited someone so much they were now a happier version of themselves.

Congratulations to Year 12 student, Sandy Porter, who was pre-sent at the momentous occasion of Queensland Premier Camp-bell Newman and Prime Minister Julia Gillard signing up to the new National Disability Insurance Scheme on Wednesday of this week. It was a great day for Sandy, his family, and all Queenslanders with disability and their carers.



Last Thursday, roughly 250 SPC students and staff joined with thousands of other students from around Australia to stand in solidarity with child asylum seekers held in detention nation-wide. They did this by taking a voluntary ‘detention for deten-tion’. Lachlan Righetti (Year 11) has written about his experi-ence and has shared this below. Throughout Australia 1,983 children are detained in immigra-tion detention facilities, deprived of an education, health benefits, sufficient food and clean drinking water, only to be strained mentally, physically and emotionally, through con-stant health and psychological issues including malaria, de-creased growth and development, and most sickening of all suicide attempts. These children are voiceless; they have no-body to hear their stories, no friends, no family, no-one. At the start of the year, the College joined in the official launch of a group known as ‘ERA (Edmund Rice Advocacy) For Change,’ a student-led advocacy network of students who band together to provide a voice for these children and many others around the world. After several discussions between each Edmund Rice school within this network, our first big event had been announced and the planning process began for what was to be known as ‘Detention For Detention.’ This simply meant that students from each school would gather at Morning Tea or Lunch to participate in a simulated detention centre, where we were detained for about 15 minutes, with our hands tied behind our backs and our mouths taped symbolising the voiceless and helpless children detained in detention centres across the country.

On Thursday, 2 May at Morning Tea, the College partook in its own variation of this event. Over 250 students from all grades gathered into a fenced off Plaza Area in silence and sat in rows underneath the hot sun, depicting or simulating the difficult and uncomfortable life inside a Detention Centre in which children have to face each and every day. Around the

perimeter of the plaza was a fence which acted as a secluded area adding to the simulation of a real life detention centre. Attached to this temporary fencing were various facts and statistics related to children in detention centres which both informed people about the event but also attracted other students to participate in the event. Facts such as ‘there are currently 1,983 children in various detention facilities across the country’ and ‘children as young as eight suffer from de-pression and self-harming as a result of being detained’ drew attention to this particular event and issue.

Although we only partook in this event for about 15 minutes, it was inevitable that students were feeling uncomfortable and restricted, reminding us of how hard it must be for a child from the ages of three to eighteen to live in. Not only were boys allowed to embody themselves into the life of a detainee but we were also able to raise awareness on this issue as well as providing an action to the cause. Each stu-dent involved and many others watching the event were left informed, inspired, meaningful and grateful for what they have in life, and understanding that they have the opportuni-ty to use their own voice to tell not only their own story, but the stories of others. ERA For Change looks to be an exciting new prospect for our College and many more events like this will take place to in-form people within our community on various issues like the Mandatory Detention of Asylum Seekers and many others. I would now like to take the opportunity to ask anyone who feels for this issue, to sign our ERA For Change Detention For Detention petition to help put a rapid stop to the mandatory detention of children across Australia; you can do this via our website www.eraforchange.com.

Mr Chris Campbell AP Curriculum

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, students in Years 5, 7 and 9 will complete the National Testing Program in Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). This is an important three days of testing for a number of reasons. The main purpose of the tests for myself and College teaching staff is that they provide excellent information about student strengths and weaknesses. As a consequence we are able to plan more effective teaching units and lessons, designed to cater more effectively for student’s academic needs. The purpose of the tests for parents is that the results provide a good guide as to the level of your son’s literacy and numera-cy skills. Pathways that a young man may wish to follow once he has finished school are becoming increasingly competitive and a strong performance in all forms of testing, whether school based or external is very important. One reason that a strong performance on external tests such as NAPLAN, is important is that all results are published online for anyone to access. In a competitive world, it is quite simple for employers to compare the results of St Patrick’s students to students across Australia. The stronger reputation we have as a school, the more advantageous it is for our students. Class teachers in Years 5 and 7 and 9 have worked with their students in providing ample practice opportunities. English and Maths teachers in Year 9 have also been active in taking students through their paces. A final run through for studentswill be held during periods 1 and 2 on Monday morning. Students are reminded of the need to be organised, especially in terms of the equipment they require. Please make sure you adhere to the following: 1. Complete any practice books or activities this week. 2. Bring calculators to the numeracy exams. 3. Make sure you have writing materials - 2B or HB pencil only. NB no pacers 4. Get a good night’s sleep. 5. Eat dinner and have a good breakfast before you come to school The tests will be held across three separate venues. Year 5s will report to their normal classrooms. Year 7 s will go to the Waterford building as follows. 7A W101, 7C W103, 7E D101, 7B W102, 7D W104 Year 9 classes will be in the Edmund Rice Building as follows 9A E205, 9D E208, 9G E202, 9B E206, 9E E209, 9C E207, 9F E201 Some students have been granted special provision by the Queensland Studies Authority. On production of an occupational Therapists report some boys have been permitted the use of a computer. These students report to the Learning Support rooms downstairs in the Dowd Building. Other students who have an approved verification will complete the tests in a separate room. These are Year 5 M101, Year 7 E204, Year 9 E203. I will double check with all these students on Monday to ensure they are aware of which room to attend. Tests will be held in the morning. Students are to attend Tutor Group on Tuesday and Wednesday and House Assembly on Thursday then report to their assigned rooms. Students who miss an exam will complete make up tests on Friday. All students are advised that there will be a full school assembly on Tuesday. Periods 2 and 4 will be swapped so all students can attend.

TEEN STRESS PROGRAM

Like adults, you experience stress every day. You will benefit from learning effective stress management skills. A little bit of stress is okay, and can even be helpful. However, when you become overloaded with stress or the stress lasts for long periods of time, the stress needs to be managed. When you are unable to adequately manage your stress, you may feel anxiety or depression, ex-perience physical problems, withdraw from family and friends, display aggression or bullying behavior.

Violence and conflicts continue to escalate at home, in schools, and in communities. Conflict can be defined as a disagreement in which two or more parties perceive a threat to their interests, needs or concerns. Conflicts can be disagreements about small or very large matters, or reactions to and/or a build-up of annoyances. You probably think that conflict can be avoided. The truth is that you will continue to find yourself in the midst of conflicts of varying intensities. Some might be mild while others might be very intense. Regardless of the intensity of your conflicts, you need a set of skills that will help you deal effectively with the con-flicts that arise.

both of these programs please

SHOWING THE TRUE PADDIES SPIRIT Johan Stolpe showed great initiative when he arrived at Curlew Park for the 7A first round football game against Brisbane Grammar School on 27 April with a chewed up footy boot. Determined to show his skill on the field Johan donned two different boots to put in a great performance helping his team to victory in a 4 – 2 win over the inner city school. Johan has undertaken a formal linesman qualification and regularly runs the line at our home games at Curlew Park in the CIC and AIC competitions. He also lined the first eleven UHL Sport cup game against Grace Luthern College on Monday afternoon after being grilled by the referee and blinding him with his knowledge of the rules of the game!!!

Mr Tim Walker Rice House

In 2013 the R.L.T (Rice Leadership Team) set their sights on further developing the iden-tity of what it means to be a ‘Rice’ man. Starting a new year at school for anyone is ex-tremely exciting and overwhelming, but the feeling the seniors in Rice House was one that words cannot describe. The realisation that it would be the very last “first day” was daunting but exciting at the same time. The year would be one full of great memories. At St. Patrick’s we are constantly reminded to seize every opportunity. In Rice House we are challenged to do the same.

So far this year, we have participated in Inter-House Chess, Debating, Swimming and most recently Cross-Country. It was great to see all Rice students running the Cross Coun-try course, and many surprising themselves with their overall placing. Rice House’s overall placing reflect-ed the sum of all efforts, finishing 3rd overall. Our participation does extend outside the Inter-House com-petitions. The opportunity to attend camp was taken by the Year 8 boys who enjoyed 3 days at Moogara Dam, where a great-er bond was made with each other for

years to come. The Year 9 students will attend their camp in a couple of weeks time. In Term 1 the opportunity to help out in the community was taken up by everyone when the entire College was a part of the Clean Up Aus-tralia event. Rice House also showed our support in clos-ing the health gap between Indigenous Australians and non-indigenous where in House Assembly each boy wore a red, yellow or black shirt and formed a human flag to promote the work Oxfam is doing.

For the seniors in Rice House, looking out for our little brothers at school is a pri-ority, and a great way of relaxing together and showing our care for the boys is done through our little brother big brother lunches. Fish and chips were enjoyed down at the waterfront recently, and it was great to see all of the boys having a laugh together and enjoying each other’s company. Special days such as these lunches are not possible without the help and support of all of the staff in Rice House. On behalf of the sen-iors, and all of the boys in Rice, we would like to thank all of the staff for their ongoing support, guidance and care.

DEBATING NEWS If you thought the only excitement you could get on a Wednesday night was a showdown between Delta and Seal on The Voice, well you haven’t been to Debating, St Patrick’s style. Last night’s short preparation debates for Years 9 and 11 were filled with more action than the entire Die Hard series (that’s an awful lot of action….Bruce Willis walks on broken glass…barefoot). They’ve been spending so much time here preparing for the musical, that the young ladies from St John Fisher sensed they would be no match for our Year 11 Team 1 and, sadly, had to put in an early forfeit. However, our Year 11 Team 2 were set for an epic battle with the unknown quantity of St Andrew’s Anglican College. A man down, the team recruited Joseph Champness as their chief statistician in the preparation room. The team were set, their hour of preparation well spent as they moved into the debate room with determination etched on their faces, perceptive, comprehensive arguments at the ready. Sadly, the opponents from St Andrew’s had pre-pared the wrong side of the debate and our fierce encounter looked like it was about to fizzle out. St Andrew’s were sent away – they had 15 minutes to regroup for the skirmish. Joseph Champness took much of this time recording the topic on the board. The team arrived back. Our men were hungry for a victory. Alas, the other team had prepared a completely different topic. Samuel Huth, Johan Baines and Louis Emery may well have been defeated by administrative blunders but their slick preparation shows that their place in the finals, guaranteed now, is more than warranted. Despite mixed results in Year 9, St Patrick’s have again shown that they have an awful lot of Debating muscle. If points were

awarded for sheer enthusiasm, our Year 9 Team 2 would cer-tainly not have been narrowly pipped by Albany Creek State High. Coach, Mr Vanni, can barely contain their debating ex-citement and the boys lapped up the chance last week to en-gage in a practice session with the Year 11 teams. St Paul’s consider themselves somewhat of a debating juggernaut, but they were simply no match for the slick teamwork of Cameron Basile, Liam Morgan and Michael Doyle. Our Year 9 Team 1, debating together since the start of Year 8, are also guaran-teed a place in the finals with their comprehensive Round 3 victory. Yet again our Battalion were on hand to applaud this impressive debating display. All sports at St Patrick’s strive to ‘fight the good fight’. The thinking man’s sport is no different. A whisper in the corridors early this week alerted me to a Year 8 Debating meeting – that was full of Year 12’s assisting the boys in honing their intellectual fight. Your sons are doing you proud, taking it upon themselves to make sure they help mould our future debaters. Next week – set The Voice to record and get your weekly ac-tion fix from our debaters @ St Paul’s Year 10.1 (Team Newman) @ 7pm Year 10.2 (Team Corfield) @ 8.15pm Firsts @ 7pm – topics given @ 6pm Ms Zoe Morgan Debating Coordinator
