I trust that your long weekend was an enjoyable one. I certainly could get used to the concept of a three day weekend.
This week has been another special week for St Patrick’s College. With Mother’s Day approaching this weekend our College assembly had a mother’s theme.
The previous week’s Assembly had its prayer focussed on Mothers, in par cular the mothers of the boys in O’Rourke 6. This week we had two staff speak
about their journey on motherhood. Cherie Nowlan our IT Manager, spoke about her journey about being a new mother, whilst Robyn Donaldson, David
Gardiner’s Assistant, spoke about being a grandmother. Both women spoke very powerfully and honestly. In an all boys se ng it is important that we con nue
to remind ourselves about our parents and in par cular our mothers. As a member of the St Patrick’s College staff I was very proud of our mothers who spoke
and I thank all of our mothers at St Patrick’s College for the great support they lend to their sons. I hope you all have a wonderful day on Sunday.
Also at our Assembly on Tuesday Michael Wallace, (Year 12) spoke. Michael’s purpose of speaking was to encourage students to apply for a range of
scholarships that are available in the science area. The reason for Michael speaking was that he himself has been a recipient of different scholarships over
recent mes and he was very keen to encourage other students to consider applying. However, at the Assembly it was necessary for me to put some further
context around Michael’s achievements. They are really quite extraordinary and outstanding. I would also like to outline to the wider St Patrick’s College
community what Michael has achieved. In 2010 Michael was selected as Queensland’s Na onal Youth Ambassador for Health research. In 2011 Michael
applied and was successful in gaining selec on to the Na onal Youth Science Forum in Canberra which gathered 450 of Australia’s top science students.
As part of this scholarship program Michael travelled to Canberra and par cipated in programs with other students from across Australia. This was an
outstanding achievement for Michael. As a result of Michael’s involvement in this program he made applica on to and was successful in being selected to
a end the Research Science Ins tute, for a 6 week program, at Massachuse s Ins tute of Technology (MIT) later this year. This is also an outstanding
achievement. However, when put in context it is even more outstanding. There are only 80 students selected for this program from throughout the world. Of
these only 30 came from outside the United States. Michael is one of two students from Australia selected for this program. This is truly an outstanding
achievement and I congratulate Michael on his great work. Michael is very keen for other students to apply for the various programs available.
The College Parents and Friends have decided that as part of their support of the College they will create a program to support students in the area of
academic excellence. I thank the P & F for their generosity and support. The St Patrick’s College Parents and Friends Bursary for Academic Excellence will be
awarded annually to a student or students who demonstrate outstanding academic excellence. It is my pleasure to announce that the inaugural St Patrick’s
College Parents and Friends Bursary for Academic Excellence is Michael Wallace. I congratulate Michael and again thank the P & F for their ini a ve and
generosity.
Next week the Old Boys will have their ’Old Boys and Legends Night’ in the Waterford Building on Friday evening. This will be followed by the Back to
Shorncliffe Day on Saturday. These are two significant events and I encourage our College community to support these events. Check the College Website and
the Calling for further details.
The following week I leave St Patrick’s College to join some other staff from EREA to par cipate in a study program through the Kennedy Business School at
Harvard University in Boston. I am very excited about this program and believe that the course will provide me with valuable insights that I can translate back
here at St Patrick’s College. I will be away from the College for just over 2 weeks and will return to Australia on 8 June. I will give you an update upon my
return.
Finally this week, a reminder to all parents that the students in Years 5, 7 and 9 will par cipate in the NAPLAN tests next week and wish all students the very
best during this demanding tes ng period.
Happy Mother’s Day to all our wonderful mothers.
God Bless

Our thoughts and prayers are very much with the students, staff and parents of St Columban’s College as they deal with the
tragic events of this week. Safety of our children are paramount and when this is compromised it provokes severe emo ons.
We pray for strength for the St Columban’s community.
At our Induc on Mass in February two Year 12 students from each House were inducted as House Leaders for 2012. Many
Senior students were disappointed at missing out on being selected as a nominated leader. A number of these students
have shrugged off that disappointment to con nue to be great role models and leaders within their House. They have prov-
en themselves to be men of word, of ac on and of character. At our Blessed Edmund Rice Feast Day Liturgy last Friday we
were proud to announce the selec on of seven Year 12 students to the role of House Leaders for 2012. I congratulate
the following students on their appointment as House Leaders:-
Russell Brooks – Coffey, Liam Anderson – Kennedy, Chris Li le – Mooney, Tom No – O’Rourke, Braddick Aylward – Quane,
Konnar Gerandonis – Rice, Tom Roberts – Treacy
I have received a number of correspondence from companies promo ng exchange programs overseas for students. This
par cularly applies to Year 12 students who may be seeking a worthwhile experience in their first year out of school, but
con nuing their educa on. Lachlan Be ngton, one of our College Vice-Captains, spent a year studying in South America
before returning to complete his senior studies at St Patrick’s. Travel, living and studying overseas provides a person with so
many opportuni es for growth and matura on. If any family would like more details about the various programs being
offered they are welcome to contact me.
Thank you to Mrs Maxine No and her many helpers in organising the Mother’s Day stall this week. It helped to promote
the importance of Mother’s Day for our boys. I will be telling my Mum I love her, and I certainly hope all our young men give
plenty of hugs and ‘” I love you” on Sunday to their Mothers and Grandmothers. Happy Mother’s Day to all our Mothers on
Sunday.

My four year old daughter, Claudia, has some favourite phrases. Unfortunately, one that she learned from some-where recently is, “It’s not fair!” Generally, Claudia is quite adept at expressing this thought with some convic on, especially a er she has been dealt an extreme injus ce such as not being given any dessert un l she has finished her dinner. Children have an understanding of what “rights” are before they have an understanding of the responsibili es linked, and o en it is up to parents, family members and teachers to assist children come to a clearer understand-ing of these rights and responsibili es. Claudia is lucky – her rights are respected and granted (notwithstanding those rights concerning her favourite foods). Claudia has the right to not be discriminated against, the right to a name, na onality, iden ty, to have the freedom to have individual thoughts and express those thoughts. And these rights for Claudia, like the majority of children living in Australia, though not all, are respected and granted. We of course know that not all children, na onally and globally, are granted these rights set out in the United Na‐ons Conven on on the Rights of the Child. As an ins tu on, importantly a Catholic ins tu on, concerned first
and foremost with providing educa on and opportunity to children, this is of course a jus ce issue away from which we must not shy. If we advocate for anybody, it makes sense that we advocate for young people. It is in-cumbent upon us, students, parents and teachers, to give a voice to those children without a voice. On Tuesday of this week, St Patrick’s hosted a day of Professional Development, facilitated by the Global Learning Centre, on precisely this issue, and it is a topic which we are beginning to highlight more and more in our commu-nity. In fact, St Patrick’s has formed a rela onship with “Save the Children”, Australia's leading independent emer-gency relief and development organisa on for children. This organisa on oversees a United Na ons program called the “Global Peace School Program”, and we as a College are in the process of becoming the first school in Queensland to be accredited as a “Global Peace School”. This is exci ng, not because it will bring our College recogni on, but because it affirms the work we are doing in providing an educa on which equips our young peo-ple to build peace locally and globally through rela onship, ac on and advocacy. I’ll cut to the chase – this is quite a big deal. We hope to be formally accredited on the last day of Term 3, when we will celebrate this achievement in a liturgy and be presented with a United Na ons flag which we will be able to display as a symbol of our work in the important area of human rights. I think this will then act as a constant reminder of the children whose voices are not heard – those children for whom young men from St Patrick’s College must speak up. My daughter Claudia may not need someone to speak up for her at the moment, but if she did, I would love to know that there were people out there who cared enough to do so. It is crucial that we are those people. I look forward to having many more conversa ons with students, staff and parents about this issue – if you would like to be involved in any way, please let me know: [email protected].

CURRICULUM
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, students in Years 5,7 and 9 will complete the na onal Tes ng program in literacy and numeracy (NAPLAN). This is an important three days of tes ng for a number of reasons. The main purpose of the tests for myself and College teach-ing staff is that they provide excellent informa on about student strengths and weaknesses. As a consequence we are able to plan more effec ve teaching units and lessons, designed to cater more effec vely 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 numeracy skills. Pathways that a young man may wish to follow once he has finished school are becoming increasingly compe ve and a strong performance in all forms of tes ng, 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 compe ve world, it is quite simple for employers to compare the results of St Patrick’s students to stu-dents across Australia. The stronger reputa on we have as a school, the more advantageous it is for our students. Class teachers in Years 5 and 7 have worked with their students in providing ample prac ce opportuni es. English and Maths teachers in Year 9 have also been ac ve in taking students through their paces. For Year 9 students, a final run through will 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 prac ce books or ac vi es this week. 2. Bring calculators to the numeracy exams. 3. Make sure you have wri ng 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 Good luck. This is a great opportunity to show how good we are.

Woolworths Earn & Learn 2012
Dear Parents We are excited to be taking part in the 2012 Woolworths Earn & Learn program. Last year, we were able to purchase some great resources with the 20347 points we earned, thanks to you. The program is designed to assist schools in obtaining valuable teaching resources – simply by doing your grocery shop at a Woolworths supermarket. From Wednesday 9th May, you can collect Earn & Learn s ckers when you shop at Woolworths. There’ll be one s cker for every $10 spent (excluding liquor, tobacco and gi cards). Place the s ckers onto a s cker card and when the card is full it can be dropped into the s cker collec on box here at the school or at your local supermarket. At the end of the promo on, we’ll be able to select from over 7,000 valuable school resources including maths & science equipment, arts and cra s material, sports gear and lots more. For further informa on go to woolworths.com.au/earnandlearn You can download a copy of a s cker card here: h p://www.elteaching.com.au/IBSSta cResources/NS_Resources/WR/files/Earn_and_Learn_S ckerCard.pdf We are grateful for your support and look forward to a successful program. If you have any ques ons, please ask at School.

On Assembly this week we were very fortunate to listen to Mrs Cherie Nowlan and Mrs Robyn Donaldson as a tribute to all the Mothers in our community. I hope all the Mothers are spoilt this week and every week by their wonderful children. I wish all the mums a very special Mother’s Day this Sunday. Uniform: All students were made aware of wearing the College uniform correctly. We have spoken at lengths on this topic and will now issue consequences to those who cannot follow simple instruc ons. One issue that I need to bring to your a en on is the length of your son’s socks. If your son has grown considerably he may need to purchase new socks. Socks should be knee high in length. Grey or Black socks need to be worn with long trousers not white socks. Your assistance in maintaining these standards is appreciated. Hair Week: I ask that you have the following conversa on over the dinner table. Next week is half way through the term and is generally known as “HAIR WEEK”. I ask that you check your son’s hair and if required, make the necessary arrangements to have their hair cut to meet the College guidelines before the start of next week. I remind all students that their hair needs to be combed in a style that is appropriate for school. The “shaggy” look is not part of the Hair and Grooming policy at St Patrick’s College. Public Transport: St Patrick’s is a great school but it can be let down in its public image if the students are poorly behaved on public transport. The College will not tolerate poor behaviour on public transport. Students misbehaving in this area will face a range of consequences as a result of their ac ons. Boys who catch the train to and from school are reminded that they are not to break their journey. If they are changing trains at Northgate Sta on they must catch the first available train to their des na on. Students must not wait around on the pla orm for friends and then catch the late train as this o en delays their arrival too school. St John Fisher Dance: Year 8 to 12. Friday 11 May. 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Cost is $10.00. The venue is the Killoran Centre at St John Fisher. ID is required. Appropriate Clothing needs to be worn including footwear. It is expected that normal school rules and expecta ons will apply at this event. St Patrick’s College is the only school invited and it is expected that our young men are fine ambassadors for our College. No Singlets or Thongs allowed. It is expected that normal school rules and expecta ons will apply at this event.
A er our ac on-packed previous week, this week almost seemed an an -climax for QDU deba ng. Our Year 11 team and Year 9 Team 2 both had wins from forfeits (perhaps news of our excellent deba ng form is reaching our opposi on early and they are too scared to front?). This le just our Year 9 Team 1 to debate in their first short prepara on debate of the season. For two of the three speakers this was their first a empt at the short prepara on debate. Mrs Newman is doing a tremendous job in coaching these boys and all three speakers were commendable. Whilst the boys were defeated, their opposing team from Caboolture State High School were an excep onally skilled team and the boys, Harrison Hanelt, Lachlan Kuhr and William Sked can hold their heads very high. It’s refreshing to see this team really building on the feedback given a er each debate, with all speakers really improving in their roles. Ahead – Wednesday 16 May (hope to see you there): Year 10 at Genesis Chris an College Team Hewi at 8.15pm Team Wa s at 7.00pm Year 12 at St James Team Brough at 8.15pm Year 12 at St Paul’s at 8.15pm

QUANE HOUSE DEAN - RICHARD GRADWELL
What a great start to term 2!
Q uane house has been a hive of ac vity; the ‘beep’ test was a great experience for students and teachers alike with an amazing 100% par cipa on from all. Even Br Pritchard had a go. The beep test was organised in prepara on for
the Inter-House cross country carnival. Quane had some amazing performances on the day with three first places from Rhys Gwynn‐Jones (yr. 8), Jacob Caruana (Yr 9) and Corey Wagner (Yr 10). There were plenty of other boys who placed in the top ten and every Quane boy should be commended for their efforts on that day.
Q uane prides itself on having the most fun in the Thursday morning ac vi es. We’ve had synchronized swimming contests, belly flop contests and sandcastle making contests with everyone ge ng involved.
This week we had a House Breakfast with French Toast and bacon sandwiches.
Q uane house will be volunteering in the 2012 Red Shield appeal on Sunday 20 May. We’ll be mee ng up at school at 9:00am and then move around the Shorncliffe area. Many people are happy to donate to this worthy cause. The day finishes at 12:00 and all who volunteer will get
a Big Mac voucher and a meat pie.

SPC Rugby/Football – Is A Seven (7) Round Commitment It is extremely disappoin ng to once again have to remind all students (and their parents) who have signed up and made a commitment to play sport for our College that they have indeed signed up and commi ed to both their College and their team for the en re seven (7) rounds of sport (rugby or football). Last weekend saw a small percent of students in both CIC and AIC not a end their scheduled fixture of rugby or football. Some reasons sighted were that they were going away for the weekend, transporta on issues, work commitments etc. In most cases it was poorly communicated, if at all communicated. These are all well and good excuses, but we would again like to reiterate our stance that should a St Patrick’s College student sign up and commit to playing a sport for their College they are then EXPECTED to:
A end ALL scheduled training sessions
A end ALL scheduled Game Fixtures (Home and Away) Should a student not be able to a end training or an AIC/CIC fixture game due to illness, injury or another feasible reason, it is only common courtesy that the parents of the student informs his coach or coordinator ASAP (early in the week preferably) so that other arrangements can be made. A call, email or message le late on a Friday a ernoon or Saturday morning makes it very difficult for a coach or coordina-tor to make alternate arrangements and o en leaves their team short of players and places undue pressure on their team and team mates. We trust that all parents of students par cipa ng in SPC Sport will indeed assist us with the above men oned. We thank you for your understanding and support of this ma er.
St Patrick’s College Spectators At All CIC & AIC Fixture Games We would like to remind all parents, students and supporters of St Patrick’s College that there is a spectator code of con-duct which all MUST abide by whilst at our College’s spor ng fixtures. As this Saturday is Round 1 of our CIC and AIC Rugby and Football season for 2012, we ask the following without excep on: Our expecta ons for ALL SPC Spectators (without excep on) are:
All spectators are to use courteous behaviour at all mes without excep on.
Use appropriate language at all mes (swearing of any descrip on on or off the playing field will not be tolerated).
For students, correct dress standards both on and off the playing field at all mes. All Year 8 to 12 students who re‐main at AIC rugby/football events to spectate MUST change into FULL College Formal Uniform (this will include black belt, College grey socks and black school shoes). All students will be required to wear their College e in Term 2.
ALL spectators are reminded that we would like posi ve and encouraging cheering only (nega ve cheering and taunts will not be tolerated).
ALL spectators are to respect the decisions of game referees and venue officials at all mes.
For students, SPC spor ng events are not ‘social func ons’ for our students to interact with girls from other schools. Those students a ending an SPC spor ng event are there to compete on the spor ng field and/or to support other SPC spor ng teams who are compe ng.
All spectators are reminded that Curlew Park is a non‐ alcohol and non‐ smoking venue. We ask that everyone respect this and refrain from consuming alcohol or smoking within the Curlew Park precinct.
Any St Patrick’s College student or supporter (parent/’old boy’ etc.) who does not follow the above men oned expecta ons on ‘game days’ may very well be asked to leave the spor ng venue. Further ac on may be taken in the preceding week should it be deemed necessary.
