John Therry Catholic High School Term 1 Week 8B

“Recta Sapere” To Know, Love and Relish what is Right and Just

Almighty, ever-living God, you gave our Saviour the Command to become man and undergo the cross, as an example of humility for all men to follow. We have the lessons of his sufferings: give us also the fellowship of his resurrection. We make our prayer through our Lord. Amen.

R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? All who see me deride me. They curl their lips, they toss their heads. “He trusted in the Lord, let him save him; let him release him if this is his friend.” R. Many dogs have surrounded me, a band of the wicked beset me. They tear holes in my hands and my feet. I count every one of my bones. R. They divide my clothing among them. They cast lots for my robe. O Lord, do not leave me alone, my strength, make haste to help me! R. I will tell of your name to my brethren and praise you where they are assembled. “You who fear the Lord give him praise; all sons of Jacob, give him glory. Revere him, Israel’s sons. R.

Dear Parents/Carers,

PARENT/TEACHER/STUDENT INTERVIEWS TERM 1 2016 – Years 7, 11 and 12

This letter is to advise you of the Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews for Year 7, 11 and 12 to be held on

Thu 7th April

Session 1: 3.30pm – 6.00pm

Staff Dinner Break 6.00pm – 6.30pm

Session 2: 6.30pm – 8.00pm

Fri 8th April

9.00am – 10.30am

These interviews are held as a follow up to the Year 7 and 11 interim reports and there will also be feedback for Year 12 students after the completion of Half-Yearly exams and assessments during Term 4. The interviews are an ideal opportunity to allow you to receive information about your child’s progress this year and to receive advice on how they can improve throughout 2016.

The booking of interviews in an online process. We hope that this makes it easier for parents to make interviews with teachers as you can see immediately when teachers are free and make interviews at times that are convenient for you, rather than relying upon interviews to be booked at school. Students, if required, can also book in the interviews while at school using the Internet resources at John Therry.

The process for booking interviews is as follows:

Login to Sentral using the Parent Portal.

http://www.jtchsdow.catholic.edu.au/portal.html

Click on the link to Parent Teacher Night. Beside each class will be a button to allocate a time for the interview.

There will be a staff dinner break from 6.00 – 6.30pm on Thursday night. There will be no interviews during these times.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school.

We look forward to working with you in assisting your child to achieve their personal best in their learning.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Gavan Martyn

Message from the Assistant Principal

John Therry celebrated Harmony Day with a wonderful concert this week. Harmony Day is about acknowledging and celebrating our differences and the beauty that this brings to the world. In watching the concert I was reminded of a story that I shared with our students about the ‘broken bucket’. I have included a version of this story below and it has some wonderful messages about imperfection and the wonderful gifts we offer others in our own imperfection.

The Broken Bucket

A farmer had two large buckets, each hung on the end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the buckets had a crack in it, and while the other bucket was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the walk from the stream, the cracked bucket arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, delivering only one and a half buckets full of water to the farmers house. The perfect bucket was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked bucket was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you" said the cracked bucket one day. "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?" "I have delivered only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts."

The bearer said to the bucket, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other buckets side? For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers. Without you being just the way you are, we would not have this beauty to grace our field."

Be kind to yourself and trust that being created in the image and likeness of God makes us all incredibly important and ‘perfect’ in our imperfection.

God Bless

Brad McAllister

Assistant Principal

Being MoneySmart in Global Money Week (14-20

March)

Great things are happening at our school and Global

Money Week is a good opportunity to highlight our

MoneySmart activity, recognising the importance of

learning about money and finances.

Our school community provides students, teachers,

parents and carers a chance to talk about and engage

with money regularly.

At John Therry, since the time of accreditation in early

2015, MoneySmart workshops for staff and parents

have helped involve the entire John Therry

community in this engaging educational initiative. In

2016, MoneySmart teaching and learning programs

have been included in ICT classes, Science, English,

Mathematics, PDHPE, RE, Year 9 Short Courses

(Financial Literacy)and TAS courses and students are

gaining, not only a deeper understanding of various

financial literacy skills, but have, definitely, become

more ‘money sm art’.

This week, join teachers, parents and communities

nationally and internationally in conversations

about saving and being responsible money

managers. Having these conversations early in life

helps young people develop the knowledge, skills

and behaviours to make informed financial

decisions now and into the future.

For more information go to moneysmart.gov.au



Background

Financial literacy is about having the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours necessary to make sound financial

decisions, based on personal circumstances, to improve financial wellbeing.

ASIC's MoneySmart Teaching program supports teachers and parents in these discussions and provides ready to use units

of work, teacher professional development, activities and videos. By drawing on everyday life experiences, to engage

children in learning the language of money, the prospects for teachers and parents are limitless.

For parents:

ASIC's MoneySmart website provides tools and resources to support and guide parents in developing good

money and financial habits with their children

https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/life-events-and-you/families For teachers:

Professional development aligned to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers to build confidence and

capability to incorporate consumer and financial literacy into their teaching practice. ASIC's recently released

MoneySmart Maths primary teachers is a professional learning module that explores authentic learning for

primary students through numeracy and financial mathematics.

Dear Parents / Carers

Anzac Day is an important time to commemorate those who serve and have served in the Australian

Defence Forces. The spirit of Anzac, with its qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues

to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.

As part of our annual commemoration John Therry would like to invite all members of the community

who have had an involvement in the Australian Defence force to attend the school assembly. This

includes family members, both past and present.

The Anzac Assembly will be held on Thursday 7th April from 9.30am in the William Murray Hall.

You are especially invited to stay for a morning tea and informal discussion with our year ten students

who are collaborating on the Anzac Schools’ Project. The focus for this year is on 1916 and

Australian involvement on the Western Front. The students will be filming parts of the assembly and

morning tea proceedings.

If you or a family member would like to attend this special service, please complete the return slip

below by 31 March 2016.

Yours Sincerely

CHOIR MEMBERS Group 2 choir needs more members. The group focus is towards families, and a number of members from the same family are part of this choir. All ages are welcome. If you are interested please contact the Parish Office “To sing is to pray twice.”

In today’s second reading, St Paul says, “For His sake I have forfeited everything; I have accounted all else rubbish so that Christ may be my wealth.” Does my stewardship suggest that I could say the same?
