Aeterna Non CaducaThe Eternal not the Transitory

From the Principal

Dear Parents/Carers, boys and staff,

In recent weeks our Year 12 students have, apart from the upcoming HSC exams, experienced the most demanding period of their academic life at school. They have all undertaken their Trial HSC exams and, for those doing practical type subjects including Visual Arts, Drama, Industrial Technology Timber and Design & Technology, submitted their final works for the HSC. Indeed, it has been a demanding time for both the boys and their teachers.

I have been extremely impressed. I have watched closely the way the boys have worked tirelessly, dedicating every spare moment to their studies. I have witnessed the way in which their teachers have taught, guided and cared for them. Most pleasing have been the results achieved by Year 12. They have been some of the strongest Trial HSC results I have seen in recent years. Their efforts have paid off and augur well for their final HSC results in December.

One of the most significant factors that have led to the success of this group is the way they have collaborated. We have continually impressed upon the students the value and importance of collaboration, and they have consciously heeded this advice. Collaborative learning is an educational approach that involves “groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. It is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act. Learning occurs through active engagement among peers, either face-to-face or online.” (Curtin University) The research is telling us that collaborative learning delivers a greater level of success as students engage

in discussions with peers, learn how to work cooperatively and develop teamwork and effective communication skills.

It is encouraging to see that a number of students are increasingly using this technique in order to enhance their learning. For example, in preparing for their exams, a significant number of our senior students, both Year 11 and 12, can be found in our Resource Centre both of an evening, and more recently on Saturdays, working together in small

groups. They are discussing, problem solving and assisting each other in preparing notes and essays and answering questions from past papers. From my own experience, the students who have developed these collaborative study groups have performed with greater confidence and a sense of achievement.

Collaborative learning is an approach we are increasingly developing and encouraging here at Marcellin as both a tool that is vital to student learning, in addition to a lifelong skill that will be useful beyond the gates of Marcellin. It is one that we, both parents and teachers, need to continue to strongly promote with

the boys, thereby establishing an effective basis for successful learning.

Our Year 12 cohort conclude their formal classes this coming Friday. They will formally graduate on November 13, following the conclusion of the HSC exams when, fortunately, their parents will be allowed to be present. This scenario would not have been possible had

we conducted a graduation event that would normally have taken place this week.

Please continue to pray for our Year 12 students as they prepare for their HSC in the coming weeks, following what has been a particularly difficult and challenging year for them.

In closing, I trust the forthcoming holidays will allow you to spend some quality time with your sons. Again, I thank you

for your ongoing support and patience as we continue to navigate our way through these challenging times for us all.

God Bless,

Mr Mark Woolford Principal

From the Assistant Principal

Dear Parents/Carers, students and friends of the Marcellin College Community,

The end Term 3 would ordinarily look very different to what this final week is looking like in 2020. It’s a great time of the year – the weather is warmer, the days are longer and Summer activities and sports are not too far away. It’s also one of the rituals that in secondary schools, mark a pivotal moment in the lives of our students- the celebration of the efforts and contributions of the graduating Year 12 cohort. As a ‘new’ member of the Marcellin College community in 2020, I was very much looking forward to the usual Year 12 final events that these weeks ordinarily would bring.

But 2020 has defied all previous definitions, patterns and traditions. At MCR, we have focussed deliberately on all members of our community Staying Safe and Staying Well while doing our best to maintain the continuity of our boys’ wellbeing and learning in an environment where agility, empathy and calm heads have needed to prevail. Thankfully, with only three days to go until the end of Term 3. I think I can safely say that we have all been blessed bythe fact that we have been able to keep our school openfor the first ten week term since last year.

In previous weeks’ College Newsletters, I have written on different occasions about Hope and Courage, values which I think have distinguished not only the collective response from governments, organisations and societies around the world but also what seems to have been the antidote to keeping things going when everything seems in a state of despair and devastation. Global pandemics, raging bushfires here and abroad, tragic accidents of catastrophic proportions and the injustice suffered by millions due to poverty, discrimination or disadvantage remind us that we are not alone.

This week I’d like to talk about Generosity. A fitting value, not only because it strikes at the heart of what makes us human, but also because it accords completely with Catholic Social Teaching and Gospel values of selflessness and humility. Jesus’ words to his disciples in Matthew 25:40 “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me” was in response to questions he was being asked around who would inherit eternal life. Jesus quite clearly outlines that it is in actions of selflessness especially towards the most needy in our community are those that mark us as followers of Christ.

Despite not having the ‘normal’ College events for me to get to know our Year 12 cohort better in my first year at Marcellin, I have come to know them more from their response to the circumstances which have presented themselves and their ability to face challenges head on. Mr Woolford has written extensively on our wish to acknowledge the Year 12 students in a fitting way in light of the normal rite of passage that graduations celebrate, but particularly this cohort whose final year has been like no other. Recent media coverage of stories of Year 12

students across the State, surviving and indeed thriving during the year, well wishes from our State Governor, the NSW Premier and the President of NESA and the many prayers and acts of support from within our own Marcellin community has hopefully provided our Year 12 boys to continue their journey to their final HSC exams with courage, resilience and hope. They really will remember this year for the rest of their lives.

R U OK? Day on Thursday 10 September was a wonderful day in which the values of generosity as well as empathy were at the core of the activities and message behind the day.

Its simple question “Are You OK?” reminds us to reach out to those around us, not only if we see someone struggling with life’s ups and downs but also just to stay connected. Being connected is critical for our wellbeing and for those whom we care about. The benefits of staying connected are built on our generosity in sharing the powerful gifts of our time and our spirit.

I hope that parents/carers asked their boys what they did at school on R U OK? Day. I’d particularly like to acknowledge the work undertaken by our Wellbeing Team consisting of Mr Daley our Director of Wellbeing, our Year Coordinators for their organisation of fantastic activities and initiatives, students including a group of Year 11's and Homeroom Teachers in guiding our boys through important conversations around reaching out to others.

One of the most successful events of R U OK? Day was our gold coin donation Sausage Sizzle at Recess to support the Black Dog Institute to undertake Research into Suicide prevention and clinical treatment, expand education programs to reach more communities, schools and health professionals and develop resources to assist people to manage depressino, anxiety and stress at their own pace.

I am very proud to announce that $600 was raised!

Thank you to all students and staff for their support of R U OK? Day initiatives.

WHERE WERE YOU IN 2000?

Twenty years ago this fortnight marks the Sydney Olympics and Paralympics, which are well documented as a watershed moment in history not only in terms of Sport but also in terms of our national spirit and collective identity. Cathy Freeman’s outstanding victory in the 400 metres ‘run of her life’ as well as the many other extraordinary feats of endurance, athleticism, spirit and teamwork by our Olympic and Paralympic athletes will ensure that their achievements will remain in the annals of time. Yet, as Malcolm Knox, Sydney Morning Herald columnist

writing last Saturday 19 September concluded “we must not forget the real heroes of Sydney Games” whom he acknowledges as those people who generously gave their time, efforts and skills for the staging of this monumental event. It’s in the actions of the generous others, Knox says “who made the Games what they were”. Their place in history is marked by their generosity and “The permanent achievement, (of the Olympics) dear volunteers/workers/public servants/athletes/Olympic family, was all yours.”

As we prepare to farewell our Year 12 students this week on their last day of school, I’d like to thank them and their families for their generosity of spirit, for sharing their

gifts and talents with the Marcellin College community, and for taking the time to reflect and realise that it is in looking out for each another that an individual grows as a better person.

Best wishes to all families for the upcoming break.

Stay safe and stay well!

PAT TESTING

Teachers use a variety of tests to determine the performance level for each student, what progress students are making, and where they may need extra support. In Term 4 this year all students across Years 7-10 will complete a range of ‘Progressive Achievements Tests’ across the domains of writing, reading and numeracy. These tests will be used to measure individual student growth and performance.

Progressive Achievement Tests are developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) These tests are designed to assess and monitor student growth over time. This approach is underpinned by an understanding that students of the same age may be at different stages of learning.

The tests will help teachers decide what kinds of teaching and learning activities are needed and which methods or programmes are most suitable for their students. PATs are also important because they identify the progress a student is making from year to year.

More information will be provided to parents in early Term 4.

In the interim if you have questions about PAT please feel free to contact Mr Chris Ferry at the College.

LIBRARY OPENING HOURS – SEPTEMBER – OCTOBER HOLIDAYS:

The Devlin Centre will be open each day throughout the upcoming break, except for Monday 5 October for Year 12 students as they prepare for the Higher School Certificate. Students are welcome to study on site from 9-3pm each day.

To support students, there are a number of seminars and targeted workshops being run by staff over the break, and

while these are not compulsory, boys are encouraged to make use of all resources available to them. While these seminars are a great resource for students they should not be viewed as a sole focus for the break.

Holiday Seminars – Spring 2020

From the Sports CoordinatorMCC SPORT

Plans for the 2020/2021 Summer MCC competition are currently in full swing with Thursday, Week Three set down as the proposed start date. This will give all schools the opportunity to hold trials and select teams in Week One and Week Two. Last week I sent out the link to a Google Form for students to complete if they would like to trial for one of the College Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, or Touch Football teams. Please remind your son to complete this form ASAP if he would like to trial next term. Trials will be conducted on Tuesday afternoons and on Thursday during sport time. Marcellin College has a proud history in the MCC Summer competition and we look forward to another successful season.

INTERNAL SPORT

We also plan to resume internal sport at the beginning of Term 4 with Year Groups split across various locations. We are currently waiting for updated advice and guidelines from Sydney Catholic Schools before we

confirm any arrangements.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding, fingers crossed we can get the students out and moving in Term 4.

Mr James O'SheaSports Coordinator

The Wellbeing Room is open Monday through to Wednesday at lunchtime and is an alternative space to the playground, for many students.

There are no laptops allowed in the Wellbeing room, unless a student is doing school work.

Most students engage in card or board games. We are looking to start some sketching next term, as many of our students are quite artistic!

Last week, we were treated to some music on the guitar!

Year 12 Economics ArticleYear 12 Economics Article Making sense of the global Economic Shutdown of 2020The Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in the greatest shock to the Australian – and global – economy in almost a century. On Tuesday the 16th of June, Tim Dixon and John O’Mahony, authors of the HSC economics textbook, presented a virtual seminar highlighting the extreme significance of COVID-19 as a health crisis, with immense, flow-on implications for the global economy. The seminar provided students with a valuable opportunity to gauge the consequences of COVID-19 on the Australian economy.

WHAT’S THE ISSUE?

COVID-19 is chiefly a supply-side shock, but with flow-on effects to demand. In response to the virus, restrictions on international travel and the operation of non-essential businesses were enforced, significantly hindering production, especially in Australia’s key service industries. As a result, multiplied falls in consumer spending and investment lead to a widespread slowdown in the economy. It is estimated that real GDP is expected to contract 6% in 2020, shattering Australia’s twenty-eight year, global record for consecutive economic growth.

BALANCE OF PAYMENTS (BOP)

Australia has recently been experiencing current account surpluses for the first time in 45 years. The current account surplus experienced during the Coronavirus pandemic is primarily driven by a fall in inflows on the financial account as a result of a lack of business confidence and investment. It reflects how Australia’s exports have been more resilient than imports in a period of significant trade volatility, improving Australia’s balance of goods and services. However, given Australia’s monumental fiscal measures and historically low level of national savings, Australia will be required to draw on foreign funds to finance the record budget deficit, with public debt expected to increase by $500-620bn over the next decade. This consequent increase in foreign liabilities (debt servicing costs) hinders Australia’s external stability. However, with Australia’s relatively low pre-virus levels of net debt and record-low interest rates at 0.9%, it is expected that Australia will be able to meet its repayment obligations, maintaining investor confidence, demonstrated by the retainment of Australia’s AAA credit rating in late June.

TRADE

Moreover, the overall trend of globalisation, characterised by the emergence of a global economy underpinned by significant trade linkages and the fostering of the most efficient allocation of resources, has been significantly undermined during this uncertain period. The concern of self-sufficiency has become a critical issue, as nations fear that they are too dependent on global supply chains for essential health equipment. For example, face masks were in limited supply on global markets, with China, a major

producer of these face masks, being reluctant to offer their supply internationally due to their own prioritized health needs, posing a risk for Australia in meeting their urgent health needs. Thus, there is rising sentiment towards having goods that have been previously attained through imports to instead be sourced domestically, especially goods deemed to be essential, such as health equipment. This will likely promote protectionism and hinder global trade growth, reflected through the UN’s conservative estimate of global trade volumes falling 27% through 2020. To a certain extent, globalisation, and its efficiency-oriented benefits will be retracted as a result of the pandemic.

THE GREATEST SHOCK ABSORBER

At the height of global lockdowns, a narrow export base paved the way for a period of unprecedented volatility in the Australian dollar, seeing the Aussie plummet as low as US55 cents in March. As the Aussie depreciates, our international competitiveness improves – the price of our exports decreases in the eyes of our major trading partners – which in turn stimulates demand for our exports. Whilst geopolitical tensions with China have worsened the outlook for education exports, a weakened Aussie has promoted prosperity for our commodity exports. With disruptions in Brazil curbing shipments, iron ore surged over US$100 a tonne – just as Chinese mills began churning out record volumes of steel. This fostered a significant increase in investor confidence in our domestic mining sector, and hence revaluation of the Aussie, currently sitting at US73 cents. This highlights the resilient nature of our export markets, with commodities expected to retain a prosperous outlook in September as iron ore prices reached a 6-year-high over US$126 per tonne in Chinese spot markets.

EMPLOYMENT AND THE LABOUR MARKET

As stated, a fall in growth and production results in higher cyclical unemployment, with the unemployment rate reaching 7.5% in July. The government’s JobKeeper program has significantly provided a buffer for substantial increases in unemployment which would have otherwise occurred – roughly 5% higher at 12.1%. Nevertheless, the increase in unemployment – expected to be sustained through 2023 – can hinder the aggregate supply of the Australian economy through the ‘scarring’ of the labour market. This involves long-term unemployed workers,

who find it difficult to obtain employment when job opportunities emerge, due to the erosion of their skills over time.

ENVIRONMENT

The coronavirus pandemic has significant, yet varied impacts on Australia’s environmental sustainability. At the peak of the economic shutdowns, in which production slowed, carbon emissions fell 26%. However, many nations have been more inclined to prioritise short-term economic growth to mitigate the immediate effects of the pandemic and recover lost ground more quickly in the recovery phase, in doing so compromising effective policy to address environmental sustainability. For example, in 2020 it was planned for countries to negotiate guidelines that are intended to help countries meet their Paris agreement obligations; however, such negotiations have been delayed until next year, reflecting how the objective of economic growth and stability have been prioritised over the objective of environmental sustainability in the short-term due to the more immediate impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. However, it is argued that there does not need to be a trade-off between short-term economic growth and effective environmental policy action, with economists stressing that the need for significant discretionary stimulus during the pandemic provides an opportunity for Australia to increase investment in a more sustainable economy. For example, increasing the use of electric vehicles in Australia is a key issue, which if addressed could provide significant reductions in carbon emissions. Currently, electric vehicles constitute just 0.6% of total sales in 2019, compared to 3.8% in Europe – and part of this can be attributed to Australia’s underdeveloped infrastructure to support these vehicles – with fewer than 2 000 charging stations. Hence, developing the market and infrastructure for electric vehicles provides an excellent opportunity for fiscal stimulus that simultaneously increases economic growth through investment, and improves environmental sustainability. This policy was demonstrated by Germany, whose fiscal stimulus measures involved 2.5 billion euros being spent on battery cell production and charging infrastructure, and a doubling of EV subsidies to 6,000 euros.

MONETARY POLICY

Another way of stimulating the economy is through monetary policy, that is, influencing the cash rate in order to influence the level of consumption and investment. It allows the Reserve Bank of Australia to have a direct impact on economic activity – critical in a period characterised by dampened economic growth and rising unemployment. However, monetary policy is more effective at slowing down an economy rather than pushing it along, as poor economic outlooks often weaken consumer and business confidence – hence reducing consumption and investment in the economy. As stated by author John O’Mahony, monetary policy is best thought of as a string, you can pull it (dampen economic growth), but you can hardly push it (boost economic growth). During the global financial crisis, the Reserve Bank actively stimulated the economy by loosening monetary policy

from 7.25% to 3% at the peak of the crisis in 2009 – a 4.25% buffer required to curb the Australian economy from recessional fears. Ten years on, the cash rate sat at 0.75% – and that’s the problem - there is no buffer. By late March this year, the RBA dropped the cash rate to a record low 0.25% and is working closely with the Australian government to ensure that households and businesses are financially assisted.

FISCAL POLICY TO THE RESCUE

To combat the recession the Australian government immediately responded with monumental fiscal policy, a macroeconomic instrument conducted in a counter-cyclical fashion, involving variations in the government’s budget outcomes in order to influence economic growth (determined by the net balance of revenue and expenditure). Hence, the government responded by dramatically increasing its expenditure by $289bn – including discretionary measures such as the $70bn JobKeeper wage subsidy scheme. This, in conjunction with automatic stabilisers has led to a significantly increased budget deficit, forecast at $-184.5bn in the new financial year, the highest on Australian record. This consequently increases aggregate demand in an effort to offset contractions in economic growth and maintain stability in the labour market, yet poses significant consequences for Australia’s external stability through heightened public debt.

CONCLUSION

The coronavirus pandemic is a once in a century economic shock of extraordinary scale and magnitude. Impacting upon economic growth, trade, employment, external stability, government policy, environmental sustainability and inequality, it is clear that the COVID-19 crisis will not only leave a profound and long-lasting mark on economic indicators, but on quality of life and on the way the global economy functions. Through the valuable insights of authors, Tim Dixon and John O'Mahony, we, as students, discerned that such a crisis does not change the rules of economics, but strikingly demonstrated them in action, with all the concepts, from economic growth to trade, being interlinked and having a bearing on the lives of every individual in the modern world.

ATAR Q&A. What Next?

January is just another month in the summer break for current tertiary students, but for recent school leavers it means one thing – university offers. If you’re one of the many students nervously waiting for offer day, check Q&A:

https://www.gooduniversitiesguide.com.au/education-blogs/tertiary-study/atar-q-a-what-next

The ATAR is a rank, not a mark.

The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is a number between 0.00 and 99.95 that indicates a student’s position relative to all the students in their age group (ie all 16 to 20 year olds in NSW). So, an ATAR of 80.00 means that you are 20 per cent from the top of your age group (not your Year 12 group).

Universities use the ATAR to help them select students for their courses and admission to most tertiary courses is based on your selection rank (your ATAR + any applicable adjustments). Most universities also use other criteria when selecting students (eg a personal statement, a questionnaire, a portfolio of work, an audition, an interview or a test).

VET Explained for Students

Fee-free apprenticeships and financial support from the NSW Government

Worried about the cost of training? Apprenticeships are now fee-free in NSW, and there’s a heap of VET traineeships and courses subsidised under the our Smart and Skilled program. If you’re eligible, you only pay part of your training costs – we pay the rest.

Graduating with little to no debt means more freedom and more opportunity. The qualifications covered aren’t random, either. They’ve been chosen because there’s currently a lack of skilled people in those industry areas – meaning better odds for getting a job after you graduate.

Health, horticulture, education, engineering… VET can provide a pathway to almost every career. In fact, VET courses, apprenticeships and traineeships can lead to over 500 careers – and in most cases, you don’t even need an ATAR to get in.

Vocational education and training gives you the skills you need to get the job you want, now and in the future.
