From the PrincipalVOLUME NO. 31 – 19 OCTOBER 2020

Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Friends of Rosebank,

At this stage in the academic year, and in my own professional journey, I am reminded of Rudyard Kipling’s words, “We are the opening verse of the opening page of the chapter of endless possibilities.”

The world scene is witnessing a broad range of leadership solutions. Jacinda Ardern’s victory ‘across the ditch’ gives hope to a world that is dominated by conservative forces. For example, while we understandably see the salaries of the lower three quarters of Australians falling on average due to the slowing economy, the trend is reversed for the upper quarter. This is exemplified by the record prices being realised (well over reserves) in the top tier real-estate market. We have enjoyed a period of cooperation and harmony in the leadership of the Country to be eroded away once partisan politics showed how fragile this alliance has been.

While some seek to build, others have devastated families, deepened division, ignited violence, made a mockery of decency and damaged democracy.

By contrast, we work in a Benedictine tradition that calls for arranging all things so that the strong have much to strive for and the weak have nothing to fear. It can easily be demonstrated that democracy is at a crossroad and that capitalism needs a serious adjustment. We have seen institutions cross-examined as to their care for the citizens of this land. We have seen the rights of First Nations people erode and disregarded as their (and our) sacred sites are destroyed. Leadership with integrity is sought and we delight when it is found. While silence and confusion abound, the people of our nation and of the world know what is needed.

As a school, we have to be serious about education for participation and leadership. Recently I spoke to

our student leaders regarding one of the pillars of our leadership framework. In having ‘a voice’ (which is a right) we also have an obligation to apply this voice to issues that matter. I gave the example at that time of legislation that was being considered by Parliament regarding the removal of mobile phones from our refugees. At that time, Senator Lambie was seeking feedback from the public as she was left with a casting vote. I asked them to consider the situation- of being in a foreign country with little support and having their mobile phones confiscated. Last week, the College Captains approached me to share their delight at the news that the proposal had been defeated. Having students engage in real life issues and developing their own perspectives and solutions on emerging trends is at the core of contemporary education.

We look forward to enjoying the valued work of our 63 InnovatED students who are working feverishly to complete their original projects. These young men and women understand Kipling’s invitation. The exhibition of ideas, research projects and products, will occur on 16 November 2020..

The College Assembly last week was packed with students’ work and achievements. In particular, I refer to the rousing speech of Isabella Cavendish, ‘Australia - You Can’t Handle the Truth’ and the presentation of one of the entries into the 2020 Tournament of the Minds. We are grateful for this festival of original ideas and the gift of creativity and discernment.

We keep our Year 12 students in our thoughts and prayers as they come to the end of their study vacation and commence their HSC exams this week.

Finally, I thank the College Board for hosting one of two retirement dinners last Friday evening to acknowledge the work of the past 16 years. I was humbled and affirmed by the words spoken and the memorabilia gifted to me. Most of all I thank the students (Luke Waked, Hah Bin Bae, Yasmin Arlotta, Kayla Low, Eve Court, Sophia Ferrara, Nicholas Edwards, Madelaine Edwards, Sebastian Hole and Natalia Papadakis) who provided such amazing entertainment and demonstrated such sophisticated skills.

We are mindful of the families who have brought these extraordinary young people to us. I believe that when Orville Wright, of the Wright brothers fame, was told by a friend that he and his brother would always be an example of how far someone can go in life with no special advantages, he emphatically responded, “to say we had no special advantages…the greatest thing in our favour was growing up in a family where there was always much encouragement to intellectual curiosity.”

May God continue to shower blessings on this wonderful community, keeping it safe and letting it prosper.

Mr Tom GaleaPrincipal

Dates for the DiaryFrom the Assistant Principal

What a huge start to Term 4! Staff and students seemed to hit the ground running as the week began and even the roses timed the arrival of their new blooms perfectly, welcoming us all back with a dazzling display of colour. Thank you to the staff and contractors who work through the holiday break, to ensure that we are able to come back to a welcoming and fully functioning site.

In spite of limited travel opportunities and a number of restrictions still in place, it appears as though the holidays were still thoroughly enjoyed by all. The students certainly had an abundance of news to share with their friends and teachers and their energy going into Term 4 is high. They were quick to fall back into the routine of the school day and the first week has flown by.

For the staff, the week was bitter sweet, peppered with reminders of the departure of our Principal, Tom Galea, as the final touches were put in place for the staff farewell dinner, held in Tom’s honour on Friday, 16 October. Even while adhering to a number of restrictions, which are still in place, we felt blessed and grateful to have the opportunity to gather socially as a community, with Tom and his family, for what was a heart-warming celebration. The evening was filled with humorous stories, much reminiscing, a few tears and even more laughter and good cheer as the staff shared their memories, thoughts and best wishes for Tom in an unforgettable “Roast and Toast” segment.

After what has been a tiring year for us all, this event felt like tonic for the soul, in spite the touch of sadness that comes with any farewell. It reminded me of what we take for granted and how simply being able to socialise together, surrounded by music, laughter and good company, can truly make a difference to your state of mind.

I hope that our Year 12 students have also managed to tend to their ‘state of mind’ and find a healthy balance between study and socialising in their preparations for the start of their HSC tomorrow. We are all here to support them on the final leg of their school journey and wish them all the very best for the weeks ahead.

From the Dean of Ministry

Humility and the gift of Peace

There are, I suspect, fewer words that are either misunderstood or avoided than that of “humility”. Benedict devotes an entire chapter to humility in his Rule and a lot of it makes for difficult and challenging reading. I’ll admit that my relationship with humility has been rather less than humble, and it has taken years to broach the subject honestly. The first lesson about humility that I have gradually learnt is that I cannot come to understand and value it without the help, wisdom and guidance of a person who has lived humility from the inside out.

A person who has been confronted with the truth about themselves, found the courage to admit the truth and accepted the strength of a power greater than themselves, will be transformed into the imago dei intended by the Creator. For me, as for most of us, it is likely to be a life-long journey.

One of my wise guides is Michael Casey, the Cistercian monk from Tarrawarra Abbey outside Melbourne. Fr Michael’s A Guide to Living in the Truth: St Benedict’s teaching on Humility (2001) is written for contemporary readers in a world vastly different to that of Benedict. And for that alone I have reason to be profoundly grateful. Fr Michael invites us to consider humility as accepting the truth of my nature - learning to live happily and realistically within my own skin - as God created me.

If then, humility is living in truth, pride is living a lie, of being alienated from our humanity, a posture of radical falsehood. Accepting my humanity as God created it to be demands I accept four fundamental truths about myself:

1. I am not divine - I am human. I cannot be God and any attempt to pretend that I am will end in destructive behaviours that destroy me and others. I am called to be god-like and to share in the divine nature (Genesis 1.27; 2 Peter 1.4)

2. I am a creature - I am dependent on God for everything because the entire universe, all creation was made through the Divine Word; it is all God’s and Jesus tells me to give to God what belongs to God, in other words, everything (Psalm 24.1; Matthew 22.21)

3. I am a sinner - everytime I deny my humanity, the humanity of others, pretend that I am able to do everything on my own and without help, prefer to live in delusion and fantasy, and ignore the words I pray every day: “Your kingdom come, your will be done … give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins …”, I am like the Prodigal Son, eating pig food when I could be and should be at my Father’s table (Luke 15.15-17).

4. I am a stalled human being - I carry with me an enormous number of suitcases, backpacks and old shopping bags full of “should haves”, “could haves”, “would haves”, “going to get around to it one day”, regrets and shame. Trying to live a good life while dragging all that baggage around not only slows me down, it leaves me often exhausted and sometimes wondering what on earth is the point. Is Christian life supposed to be this difficult?!

Humility is when, through the grace of God, freely given and unearned by me, I accept my humanity and the reality of my life as it is. Humility is when I accept and indeed, embrace, my status as creature and acknowledge that I have nothing that I have not been given. Humility is when I recognise in honesty as fact, that I have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3.23) and accept God’s healing and forgiveness that is always there for me.

Humility is when I recognise and accept that it will take me most, if not all my life, to grow into the person God has called me to be, and that the recognition and acceptance of that is conversion and a wonderfully good thing. Humility is when I discover the truth found in Psalm 34:

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed.

This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord, and was saved from every trouble.

“

6

Living in the truth allows me to let God be God and me be me as God intended me to be. Therefore living in truth can only mean living in peace. It starts with me recognising, accepting and embracing this utterly free gift of God.

This is what I see in the lives of the saints. They long for me to embrace humility the way God empowered them to. I see it in the life and witness of Chiara Badano and Carlo Acutis, two teenage saints we are adopting at Rosebank as patrons for the Rosebank Rally in November and the Senior Retreat in December. May these young Christian witnesses pray for us and help us be open to God’s wonderful gift of humility.

Tweens, Teens, & Screens

Monday 19 October, 8pm AEDT

Rewriting the Rules for a Sensible Approach to Technology in our Families

$30.00 INC. GST

Dealing with tweens, teens, and screens is tricky. Governing bodies with fancy-sounding names trumpet policies about how much is “too much”.

Academics wring their hands about how screens are crippling our kids. And we’re stuck in the middle, just pleading for the kids to get off the screen and help out around the house, do their homework, or be kind to their sibling!

Welcome to the virtual exhibition of the Year 12 Major Works!

Every year the College is so very proud of the student artists and the Showcase of their work is an annual highlight. This year the circumstances created by COVID have prevented us opening the exhibition to a broader audience. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that we invite you to enjoy this virtual tour of the work of emerging artists. We are sure that in the future you will see and enjoy their work in the great galleries of Australia, but for now you can sit back and enjoy the work from the comfort and safety of your own home.

There are three Art Express Nominations in this year’s Visual Arts cohort of 27. These students’ works are of an exceptional standard and showcase their levels of accomplishment. As a College we have long understood the wonderful contribution that creativity plays in the holistic development and emotional health of young people. The ability to observe beauty in the most unexpected places is a gift and grace of God and is at the heart of Benedictine spirituality and pedagogy.

In welcoming you to this exhibition, we want to congratulate the wonderful, creative and talented students of the Class of 2020 and their equally talented, hardworking and highly professional teachers. The team of Ms Booth and Ms Leal along with the guidance and support of Ms Boutros and Mr Savet have ensured that despite all the challenges of 2020, each Visual Arts student got the chance to bring their vision to reality.

Enjoy the Show,

Ms Aimee LealVisual Arts & Photography and Digital Media Teacher
