GAZETTE From the Principal VOLUME NO. 33 – OCTOBER 31 2016

Year 7 Visual Arts

Dear parents, students, staff and friends of Rosebank,

In entering week 4 of the Term, I am mindful of the importance of this core aspect of learning in the final move to the end of the year. This stage of learning includes a significant round of assessments and in two week’s time, the preparation of reports that are a snapshot of the learning occurring. With the nature of learning being contested around the world, often teachers are being tugged in different directions. These forces include, on the one hand, adult like projects and processes that are focussed on real life situations, exploring nuances and perspectives, accessing information and skills as needed and delivering unique and creative solutions. On the other hand educators are being expected to hone the skills and strategies to “beat the exam”, to “play the game” and to “win at all costs”. As with all aspects of life, the actual path lies somewhere in between.

Learning is one of the most complex processes humans engage in with language, presence engagement and wellbeing at the heart of the process. I recall a quote from Wynton Marsalis who wrote: ‘It’s harder to build than destroy. To build is to engage and change. Changes are like obstacles on a speed course. They demand your attention and require you to be present. They are coming...they are here…and then they are gone. It’s how life comes. Each moment is a procession from the future into the past and the sweet spot is always the present. Live in that sweet spot. Be present.”

It has been stated that one can Google for an answer. One can Google for a mate. One can even Google for a career. But we can’t Google to find what’s in our hearts. That search for the passion that lifts us skyward. The formation and education of a human being is not simply a game of numbers. It is an alignment of head and heart and body and spirit. This process by its very nature entails success and failure, flight plans and crashes, challenging feedback and affirmation, hope and despair.

Tim Harford, in his TED talk “How messy problems can inspire creativ-ity” puts a case for the need for a ‘spanner in the works’. Students who do the same things in the same ways, day after day, may soon become lulled into a complacency due to the predictability. Sometimes we need something that throws a spanner in the works, messes things up and makes us think in new ways.

Challenges and problems can make us more creative and help us pro-duce our best work. The psychologist Katherine Phillips gave murder mystery problems to students who were collected in groups of four and given dossiers with information about a crime. The groups were asked to figure out who committed the crime. Some of the groups were four friends who all knew each other well. In other groups three friends were joined by a stranger.

Pastoral Care Caulfield

Year 7 Visual Arts

The groups with the stranger solved the problem more effectively. In fact, they solved the problem a lot more effectively. The groups of four friends had only a 50-50 chance of getting the answer right. The three friends and the stranger, even though the stranger didn’t have any extra information, had a 75% chance of finding the right answer. That’s quite a big leap in performance.

When Katherine Phillips interviewed the groups of four friends, they said they had a nice time and they thought they’d done a good job. They were complacent. When she spoke to the three friends and the stranger, they had not had a nice time. They thought it had been rather difficult, rather awkward, and they were full of doubt. They didn’t think they’d done a good job even though they had.

Brian Eno is a composer who has worked with musicians like David Bowie U2, DEVO and Coldplay. What does he do to make these great rock bands better? He makes a mess. He disrupts their creative processes.

One of the ways in which he creates this disruption is through a remarkable deck of cards. They’re called The Oblique Strategies. When a band is stuck in the studio, Brian Eno will reach for one of the cards. He’ll draw one at random, and he’ll make the band follow the instruc-tions on the card.

One says “Change instrument roles”, And everyone swaps instruments so the drummer is on the piano for instance. Another card says “Look closely at the most embarrassing details. Amplify them”. Yet another, “Make a sudden, destructive, unpredictable action. Incorporate”.

These cards are disruptive. The musicians hate them.

But just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t helping you. Cards are used because a list didn’t work - it wasn’t messy enough. Your eye would go down the list and it would settle on whatever was the least disruptive, the least troublesome, which of course misses the point entirely.

What Brian Eno came to realise was that Oblique Strat-egies or disruptive techniques help us. They help us solve problems, they help us be more creative.

We have no end of ‘disruption’ in our lives. While we may not like it or plan for it or appreciate it, all of us, from time to time, need to be the awkward stranger or the drummer instead of the guitarist. May the disruptions of life and learning be increasingly viewed as opportunities to learn and grow, to become as Carol Pearson puts it, the heroes that take journeys, confront dragons, and dis-cover the treasure of their true selves.

From The Assistant Principal

Dear Families,Please be reminded that if you wish to withdraw your child from the College, notification in writing, advising the student’s withdrawal must be given to the Principal. A full term or 10 weeks notice (whichever is the shortest) is required, otherwise a full term’s fees will be charged. This applies to students leaving mid-term.

World Teachers Day falls in the holidays so schools all across Australia celebrate Teachers Day at various times. At Rosebank we praise our teachers and as a community, formally thank them on Friday 25 November. Our wonderful P & F will treat the staff with a morning tea.

Teaching is an extremely rewarding responsibility! And we are fortunate here at Rosebank College to have teachers who take on this responsibility with skill, compassion and dedication. And in our Catholic school, we are fortunate to have teachers who model and influence learning and character in a way which is essentially Christian. The role of a teacher I believe is a powerful enabler for change and progress! Teachers shape the world of those who will shape our future!

Teachers are the single most influential and powerful force for equity and quality in education. It takes courage and commitment to be a teacher in contemporary times, especially when teachers are stretched to take on roles which include aspects of wellbeing and welfare traditionally taken on by the family, extended family and society in general.

From The Dean of Mission

In the recent school holidays, myself (Sybilla Gordon) as well as Alexander Chambers and Albert Challita were lucky enough to be able to participate in the Good Samaritan Education Philippines Immersion. We travelled with 13 other students and four teachers from various Good Samaritan schools to the city of Bacolod on the Island of Negros. One of the first things that we did on the trip was celebrate mass with the Concepcion Parish community, who treated us to a feast of traditional Filipino dishes and fruits for lunch. We got the opportunity to drive in a “jeep-ni” through the countryside with endless fields of sugar cane and rice bordered with volcanoes and mountains. The main focus of our trip however, was the Good Samaritan Kinder School, whom Rosebank have been in a partnership with for many years. We were greeted by the cutest little kids who performed some songs and dances for us and made us feel so welcome. The Sisters alongside the help of other teachers and staff were all so lovely and made us feel so at home. After spending the better part of a week with these people and these kids, that’s what the Kinder School feels like, home.

We didn’t spend all of our time with the School though, we also got to see some of the other ministries that the Sisters are involved with such as the Community Centre where women can go to learn life skills, a trade, and even make various foods and herbal medicines for others. Another area we got to visit is known as The Boulevard. It sounds quite lovely right? It’s the euphemism that curtains the harsh reality of the biggest slum in Bacolod, however, the positivity that the name suggests is only a fraction of what really lies within this community. My group was lucky enough to visit with the Good Sam’s truck, which provides the feeding program for all of the kids who live there. And even though we were bringing them their meal for the day, the kids were more interested in talking with us and playing than anything else. We played basketball, learnt popular games and danced for what seemed like forever. Despite these people living in poverty, they have so much more than most of us, and I walked away from that experience so much richer and happier from what they taught me than I could ever be from money or possessions.

When someone asks, ‘how was the Philippines?’ or says ‘tell me about your trip?’ it’s hard to form a coherent response other than ‘absolutely amazing’. I think most of that is because it’s a completely different world, full of confronting experiences, new things and uncomfortable scenarios and it’s impossible to try to explain to someone who has never experienced it. One thing that I do mention though, and something that I try to remember is a little saying that Sister Leonie taught us. “Embrace your helplessness,” she said, “don’t feel guilty for what you have, or the blessed life that you live unless you are ungrateful.” That simple message as stuck with me, and remains with me even a month after the trip.

Below Sybilla Gordon shares her experience of the Philippines Immersion

ANSTO Visit by Year 12 Chemistry and PhysicsOn Tuesday 25 October the Year 12 Chemistry and Physics classes visited ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) in Lucas Heights as part of the nuclear topic of the HSC course. The day started off with an information session covering the basic fundamentals of Nuclear Science so that we could better understand the rest of the day. As we moved further into the ANSTO facility things really began to take shape, ideas and technologies that we had previously only talked about were just metres away, instruments such as the High-Resolution Powder Diffractometer casually nicknamed “Echidna”, along with many other kinds of native animals for the assortment of instruments present. There were 13 of these Instruments, each with the own medical, industrial or research purpose all using neutrons to detect and visualise materials down to the molecular level.

The next facility we visited was GATRI, the facility responsible for the sterilisation and irradiation of fruit flies, bones, tendons, medical equipment and a range of other products. This facility is not normally visited by school groups but thanks to Mr Perry (father of Clare in Year 12 Chemistry who works at ANSTO) we were able to have a customised tour of the facility. It was in this building in a room of 1.5m thick concrete/lead walls where radioactive cobalt was stored in a containment pool ready for use. It was then that we discovered that if radiation were to have a colour it would be blue not green, an intense blue glow that could be clearly seen when looking into the pool. The final building, we were allowed into contained a cyclotron and a variety of other high-tech apparatuses, here we learnt the basics of particle acceleration and we got so close to a cyclotron that we had to duck our heads underneath it just to get to the door.

Besides all the valuable scientific information that we gained from this experience, there was one area that really stayed with me including the safety of nuclear science can be. So much effort is put into the safety of people and the environment that 92% of the nuclear waste produced is no more radioactive than the rubbish in your garbage bin and that nearly 50% of the Australian population will require nuclear medicine at some point in their life for diagnostics or treatment. When used wisely, nuclear technology is a science to be supported not feared.David Champ Year 12Science Curriculum Captain

Rosebank at Chinese Language Spectacular 2016

On October19, 21Year 8 Mandarin students from Rosebank attended the 2016 Chinese Language Spectacular held in Sydney Town Hall. Under the theme of “Harmony and Dreams”, our students, together with more than one thousand local students from 30 New South Wales schools, showcased the fruits of their Chinese cultural studies. Their dance of the traditional song “Maiden from Ali Mountain” reflected their great talent and effort and was praised by the audience. It was a valuable opportunity for them to experience and understand traditional and modern Chinese culture through learning the songs and dance.

The study of culture is not only integrated with dancing and singing but also with experiencing the typical Chinese cuisine. These 21 students had their Chinese yumcha for lunch on the same day and found it fascinating to talk to the waiters and waitresses in Chinese and were grateful for having this experience.
