Dear Parents, Carers and Friends of the San Clemente community,

May our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us love,

inexhaustible comfort and such sure hope,

give us grace and strength to reveal his presence

in all that we do and say.

We make this prayer in the name of Jesus.

St Dominic; Pray for us.

Many of our families would be aware by now that on Thursday 4th April, San Clemente will be holding an Open Even-

ing to welcome all current families and prospective enrolments to experience for the first time, the new hall facility

and surrounding classrooms and break out rooms. As I have mentioned earlier this year, this new facility is a conspicu-

ous investment by parents, Catholic schools and governments in the education of all current students and countless

future students at San Clemente.

In addition to the opportunity to view and experience the new hall, all who attend the Open Evening will have the

chance to meet with staff and students who will share their perspectives on all that San Clemente offers its learners.

Visitors on the evening will see and immerse themselves in the flexible learning spaces already developed in the school

and hear about ongoing and future building developments that will all serve to further strengthen San Clemente as an

excellent Catholic school in the region. Staff and students are working very hard at present to ensure that all who visit

on the 4th of April will go away having experienced great positivity and insight into the many and varied learning op-

portunities offered to our students.

Over/...

When speaking to our students in the past two weeks it is evident that they are working hard to complete all the assess-

ment items that fall due at this busy time of term. It is important that in recognising that the stress and sometimes anxie-

ty that comes with meeting deadlines and high expectations, there is always support available to students. This support

comes in the form of teachers, learning support staff, student counsellors, coordinators and mentors. No student should

become overwhelmed with work as they can always seek assistance from the many people available in the school to sup-

port them.

I trust that all in the San Clemente community are able to continue in our observance of the season of Lent by being

mindful of the needs of all around us and ensuring that the most vulnerable in our society, locally and more broadly, are

welcomed and nurtured.

School funding can be a contentious and confusing topic and it is important that parents and school communities

know the facts. The information on the next page explains how and why governments fund all not for profit schools in-

cluding Catholic schools.

This is a link to the CCSP website with more extensive information that will assist parents and carers deepen their under-standing of issues that impact Catholic education and can update and inform themselves. http://www.ccsp.catholic.edu.au/elections

Secondary School Practise Test and NAPLAN Online Test 2019

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual national assessment for students in

Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. Planning has begun to move NAPLAN from a pen and paper assessment to an online assessment.

All schools in the Maitland Newcastle Diocese will transition to NAPLAN Online this year. On March 28 Year 7 and Year 9 San Clemente students will complete a NAPLAN practise test. Students will need to com-

plete a short omnibus test to gain experience in using the online platform and for ACARA to test its functionality.

The test will ensure schools are ready to undertake NAPLAN Online in May 2019. It also allows students and teachers to

familiarise themselves with the online system and experience the test delivery method.

In preparation for this test our Learning Technology Coordinator Mrs Kelly has assisted students with downloading the

NAPLAN lockdown browser needed for students to complete this test.

On this day—MARCH 28, students need to ensure that they:

Bring their device fully charged (and a

charger)

Bring a set of headphones (we will pro-

vide headphones if needed)

“Hate begets hate, violence begets violence, toughness begets a greater toughness.

We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love” Martin Luther King Jnr

21st March has become widely known in Australia as “Harmony Day”. A day we celebrate different cultures and back-grounds with this year’s theme “Everybody Belongs”. This is an important and timely reminder in our school community that we have a highly regarded reputation for bringing together many cultural differences and working toward a peaceful and harmonious community. During our assembly this week I took the opportunity to remind our students of this strength within the community and our desire to witness this in all areas of school life. Part of my address was to emphasis the need to maintain safety and calmness on our playground. We create and maintain a safe school environment by protecting the wellbeing of our students and promoting positive relationships between students Using violence in any way in attempting to solve social issues is completely counter-productive and only creates more complex issues. When the safety of individuals, students and staff, are put in jeopardy, follow up consequences will be firm and clear. As this year’s theme states, “Everyone Belongs” and in this, everyone within our community deserves the right to be and feel safe. If a person, or people, harm this safety, they immediately show they do not wish to “belong”. Violence only serves a purpose to humiliate and threaten and can destroy a sense of community. We will not tolerate this at San Clemente. Further to this threat against our community can be the use of mobile phones. Students have been reminded every year that use of mobile phones to take a picture or video of someone else, without permission, is an offense. The distribution of this material can also be an offense that could face prosecution under the Young Offenders Act. The videoing of violent acts only deepens the spiral and leads toward further community decay and increased social tension. Any students found to be using their phones in this manner will face similar consequences to those who act with violence. Discussing these matters remind me that violence and hatred are NOT who we are at San Clemente and we do have the capability and willingness to find solutions. As individuals we can all take a stance and be active when social issues are leading toward increased tension. As Martin Luther King states above – love, kindness, compassion and forgiveness are far more powerful. Friendship and connection could very well be the key, where young people can look out for each other and seek adult help when needed. Preventing disagreements is NOT dobbing or snitching. Bringing these issues to the attention of teachers or Year Coordinators is the brave act and the way forward. I encourage all students to talk with their parents and teachers when they know social issues may be becoming more tense.

Year 10 Students

At last week’s year meeting, I read to Year 10 the passage below.

“Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day

to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do?

Draw out every cent, of course? Each of us has such a bank, its name is time. Every morning, it credits you 86,400 seconds.

Every night it writes off at a loss, whatever of this you failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows

no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's

deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it

so as to get from it the utmost in happiness, and health. The clock is running. Make the most of today.”

I challenged Year 10 to not waste their days. When its Monday don’t wish it was Friday or the weekend. When a new term

starts don’t focus on when the next holidays will be. Make every lesson count at school and enjoy every second with family

and friends.

I read recently that just under half of young people who use social media now feel more anxious about their future when

they compare themselves to others on sites and apps such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. A similar amount agreed

that social media makes them feel “inadequate”. More than half (57%) think social media creates “overwhelming pressure”

to succeed. As a parent it is important to monitor your child’s use of social media and where possible discourage your child

from using social media and being caught up in its “fantasy world”. Praise their strengths and encourage them to be them-

selves, not somebody else. As my grandma use to say to me, “Be yourself, as everyone else is taken”.

A reminder of important dates for Year 10 this year. I know it is early in the year but if you are planning a family holiday

please avoid the following dates.

Semester One Examinations – Week 8 Term 2 (Monday 17th June – Friday 21st June)

Year 10 Retreat – Week 10 Term 2 (Tuesday 2nd July – Thursday 4th July)

Semester Two Examinations – Week 4 Term 4 (Monday 4th November – Friday 8th November)

Year 10 Graduation – Week 8 Term 4 (Wednesday 4th December)

Also, please be aware that St Francis Xavier’s College Hamilton (SFX) will mail out enrolment packages to all San Clemente

students in Year 10 at the end of Term 1.

Year 10 parents, if you have any concerns at all please contact me at school, 40147300 or at the following email address;

patrick.doyle@mn.catholic.edu.au

A final thought Year 10,

“Even if you fall on your face, you’re still moving forward”.

Patrick Doyle, Year 10 Coordinator (Wellbeing)

Careers Corner

On Wednesday 13th March, Year 10 students experienced an informative day of study skills and career education. Rep-

resentatives from TAFE NSW, Hunter Trade College, University of Newcastle, Elevate Education and ex-students of San

Clemente addressed all students on the day.

Feedback from students has been positive, some comments have included:

“I really enjoyed the Elevate talk as it will help with study”; “Loved hearing from the ex-students and their success after

school”; “Help me with keeping on track with my focus on University studies”; “I know I will apply for Hunter Trade

School, sounds GREAT!”

Year 9 Students

It has certainly been a very busy two weeks since the last newsletter. Year 9 students have been working very hard in

class, and completing various assessment tasks along the way. It has been a pleasure to visit Mr Marsh’s Year 9 Maths

class and I was able to successfully complete the “quick 5 questions” (much to my relief!). It was lovely to visit Mrs Ruth-

erford and Miss di Prinzio’s Food Technology classes and see the students making their chocolate brownie slices.

At our recent Year meeting Mrs Tierney spoke to the students about the upcoming NAPLAN testing and the changes that

have been made to the testing. All NAPLAN testing will now be online. Mrs Tierney carefully explained the changes to the

students. She also spoke about the procedures for students who are absent when an assessment task is due. If parents

have any questions about NAPLAN or assessment task extension, misadventure or absence please email or call Mrs Tier-

ney for further clarification.

On Monday 18th March 56 Year 9 students travelled to Town Hall, Sydney to view the “Body Worlds” exhibition. The stu-

dents gained valuable insight into the inner working of the human body, body organs, veins and arteries. All 56 students

were excellent ambassadors for San Clemente.

In Mentor session on Tuesday 19th March, all students received an email linking them to an online survey for each student

to complete a bullying survey. They were also delivered some preliminary information regarding bullying in order to assist

them in completing the survey. The information will be collated and scrutinised by the Wellbeing Team, and followed up

where necessary.

Harmony Day was held on Wednesday 20th March and it symbolises much of what makes San Clemente great. San

Clemente is proud of the heritage and myriad of cultures that our community come from and we proudly acknowledge

that our school holds the highest number of culturally diverse people within our Catholic School System.

Year 9 students have an array of opportunities outside of the classroom that they can apply to be part of in 2019. They

include:

The PASS Ski Trip

The CAPA Immersion Tour

The Marine Studies Tangalooma trip

The Religious Studies/Ministry Central Australian Immersion.

Year 8 News

Week 8 is drawing to a close which means that Term 1 is certainly flying by. Students are busily submitting a variety of As-

sessment Tasks and/or completing in class activities that will assist teachers to formulate appropriate Semester One

grades. In the meantime, Interim Reports will be distributed towards the end of Term 1. During this stressful time of the

year students are reminded of the importance of balancing academic responsibilities with regular physical activity.

The benefits of regular physical activity (at minimum of 20 minutes each day) have been well documented, and include;

It strengthens the heart

It helps keep arteries and veins clear

It strengthens the lungs

It reduces blood sugar levels

It controls weight

It strengthens bones

It helps prevent cancer

It regulates blood pressure

The mental health benefits of regular physical activity are also proven and include;

It sharpens memory and cognitive processing capabilities

It increases a person’s overall self esteem

It improves a person’s sleep

It provides individuals with more energy

It builds and strengthens a person’s resilience

In other news, a number of sporting teams were posted this week with the following students being successfully selected

to represent San Clemente over the coming weeks and throughout Term 2. The following Year 8 students were successful;

Year 7/8 Girls Rep Soccer – Maddi Doyle, Keely Dryden, Ellora-Jean King-Verbicaro, Casey McLean, Kathy Nguyen, Ella

Howarth and Estelle Nicholas.

Year 7/8 Boys Rep Soccer – Nate Deamer, George Powrie and Teije Beks

Girls Bill Turner squad – Keely Dryden and Ella Howarth

Boys Bill Turner squad – Nate Deamer

Special mention also to Harrison Brown who recently competed in the Northern Region Fencing

Competition – please refer to image here. Well done Harrison!

Lastly, a final thought;

“Whoever is trying to bring you down, is already below you”

Mitch Allan, Year 8 Coordinator (Wellbeing)

These are amazing opportunities, however, it is very important that attendance on the above mentioned trips are also

based on behaviour, attendance, application and uniform. At our recent year assembly, I reinforced the clear expectations

in terms of behaviour, attendance, application and uniform. San Clemente prides itself on having an outstanding reputa-

tion within the community, when students attend such trips they are ambassadors for our school and we expect exemplary

behaviour.

Congratulations to the following students: Abbey Cashmere and Oscar Dagwell for being chosen as ambassadors for San

Clemente in joining with St Pius students to travel to central Australia later in 2019 for an Aboriginal immersion tour.

Jayden Pollard Packet for a “classic catch” in practical PE lesson last week. Daniel Harden for an amazing soccer goal dur-

ing the week.

Parents please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or concerns. Please make contact through kate.tolfree@mn.catholic.edu.au or through the front office on 40147300.

Kate Tolfree, Year 9 Coordinator (Wellbeing )

Year 7 Students

Uniform is being worn at an acceptable standard. Students are to wear their Sport Uniform on days in which

they have practical PDHPE and normal Friday sport day. In regards to Sport, students are reminded to come to

school each Friday with money and equipment, prepared for swimming for the remainder of Term 1.

During times when I am not teaching classes of my own, I enjoy visiting Year 7 students engaging in their stud-

ies. Thank you to Phoenix Julian and Salesi Toki for the delicious sausage rolls cooked in Food Technology this

week. There has also been some fantastic pieces created in Art, congratulations to Makadee Leech who is cur-

rently excelling.

A reminder to all parents/ carers, if you have any concerns or questions about your child’s wellbeing, please

don’t hesitate in contacting me on 4014 7300 or at nicholas.marsh@mn.catholic.edu.au

A young person’s guide to holistic wellbeing:

NOT YOUR ROLE: Fix or save people

Do it all Please everyone

Hold it together

YOUR ROLE: Love

Be authentic

Take the next step

Speak my truth

Breathe

Maintaining a balanced life is becoming increasingly more important for personal health and well-being in a fast-paced, modern world. Our lives are impacted by constant change, speed, uncertainty, and new technologies. Often young people can take on multiple roles and responsibilities: students, sportspersons, em-ployees, friends and sons/ daughters. Young people will not necessarily spend time every day in each area in equal amounts, but in the end, if sufficient quality of time is spent in each area, it will assist in managing a balanced life. However, if one area is neglected, never mind two or three, it may be detrimental to one’s wellbeing. At San Clemente, the 5 Ways to Wellbeing (connect, be active, give, take notice and keep learn-ing) are a constant reminder for students and staff to disperse focus, time and energy across all valued parts of life. From school and work to hobbies and interests to relationships, we, as a school, constantly integrate, prioritise and reflect on all facets of life to the needs of individuals in our community. The experience of positive, safe and stable relationships helps young people build secure attachments, develop self-confidence, self-esteem and contributes to a strong sense of identity and belonging. For Year 7 students, this can be a challenging time to filter negativity, identify areas of need and knowing when to push forward or pull back. The above list is a guide that may help students un-derstand their limitations and to look after themselves.

SPORT NEWS

As we move towards the back half of what has already been an extremely busy term, San Clemente has continued to pro-duce outstanding results across a variety of sports. On Tuesday March 12th, 29 students represented our school at the Maitland-Newcastle Diocesan Swimming Championships. All students competed with pride and enthusiasm and repre-sented San Clemente extremely well. Particular mention goes to Zach Buckland (Yr 7) and Percy Sinclair (Yr 8) who quali-fied for NSWCCC Swimming across a number of events, as well as Keely Dryden (Yr 8) who received a wildcard entry.

In rugby league, our Under 14s Hunter Premiership Team represented San Clemente in the NSWCCC Cochrane Cup at Thornton. In what was a fantastic day for our school, our boys won both pool games before going down 12-10 in the grand final to last years winners: St Joseph’s Aberdeen. Nevertheless, our boys have qualified for the quarter finals of the Hunter Premiership to be held at Raymond Terrace in June. A big thank you to Mr Morrissey for coaching the boys on the day.

Next Tuesday 26th, it is the U13s turn to represent our school in the Hunter Premiership Rugby League competition at Windale. Mr Burgess has been training the boys over the last month in preparation for this day, and from all reports the boys have connected in training and are raring to go. Good luck boys!

Upcoming NSWCCC selection events that need to be applied for online at the NSWCCC website (https://www.csss.nsw.edu.au/nswccc-home.aspx) are as follows:

NSWCCC Hockey boys and girls (Closing date 20th March 2019) NSWCCC Diving boys and girls (Closing date 3rd April 2019)

Special Mentions:

Best of luck to Logan Aoake (Yr 8) who will represent our Maitland-Newcastle Diocese at the Northern Country Rugby League Selections in Smithtown on April 3rd.

Good luck once again to Zach Buckland (Yr 7), Percy Sinclair (Yr 8) and Keely Dryden (Yr 8) who will represent the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese at the NSWCCC Swimming Championships at Homebush on April 5th.

New Representative Sport Uniforms

In 2019, the new representative sporting uniforms will start to be introduced. As part of the new uniform, sports such as soccer, rugby league, rugby union, AFL and hockey will be asked to wear plain black socks. If needed, plain black socks as shown here can now be purchased from the finance office for $5 in sizes 2-7, 7-11 and 12-15.

Steven Burns, Sports Coordinator

Rugby League: NSW CCC Cochrane Cup Last Friday 15th March the Under 14 Boys rugby league team competed in the NSW CCC Cochrane Cup at Thornton, fin-ishing runners up.

After two dominating wins over St Paul’s Booragul and St Joseph’s Lochinvar, the team progressed to the Grand Final against St Joseph’s Aberdeen. Through some exhilarating attacking runs and hard-hitting defence, the boys pushed St Jo-seph’s all the way to the final siren in a tightly contested game. Unfortunately, the team were unable to secure the win, going down 12-10.

All players represented the school with pride and are to be congratu-lated for their efforts.

Notable mentions go to Logan A, Harrison S and Jasper F.

After finishing runners up, the team has now qualified to progress to the Quarter Finals of the Hunter Prem-iership to be held in June.

Please visit the school website to view more photos from the day.

Sixteen-year-old Peter goes to

a Solomon Islands boarding

school which has experienced

six decades of water shortages.

Students would walk kilometres

each day, searching for water.

This was particularly

challenging for Peter who lives

with a disability.

With a new reliable water system, students like Peter are

now in better health and can fully commit to their studies.

Water in surrounding wells often

made students sick or gave

them rashes.

Caritas Australia teamed up with

the school to provide a 90 kilo-

litre water tank and electric

pump, while staff and students

took part in training, dug

trenches and are helping with a

management plan.

Peter is happy he is now able to

bathe at the school and no

longer missing important class

time searching for water.

However much more is needed

to improve access to water and

better sanitation in the Solomon

Islands.

The Smith Family’s Saver Plus Scheme

To date, we have assisted more than 1200 families in the Hunter with education costs like uniforms, laptops and ex-cursions as many families can find this extremely difficult.

This program is about learning the benefits of saving over a long term and planning for the future. The success rate has 87% of participant’s saving long term (prior to joining only 18% save long term).

By joining the dollar for dollar matched saving program also reduces pressure on schools resources, as parents learn the tools to sustain their finances so they’re better prepared for future costs.

I have been very appreciative that you have assisted The Smith Family in the past and would be more than happy to speak at any engagement opportunities, Kinder or Year 7 orientations or with any staff member who will listen!
