Vol. 50 No. 9 16 June 2016

As many of you are aware, 2016 has so far been another fruitful year for St Augustine's in the sporting arena. We have had great wins in many competitions across a diversity of sports including cricket, soccer, cross country, touch football, volleyball, table tennis, rugby league and basketball. I've been fortunate enough to attend the majority of the games and witnessed the pride and passion that our teams played with. These efforts, combined with the expertise of our coaches, made me beam with pride. In fact, I experienced my proudest moment since I started at the College four and a half years ago on Wednesday June 1st when our College claimed four CISSA Titles and the Schoolboys Rugby League Title on the one day. One thing that really stood out to me was the brotherhood that our teams displayed. To put it simply, they played for one another. They stood side by side, went into battle and came out victorious. This was a day that the entire College community would have been proud of.

Now, due to the nature of sport and students there are times over my years in my role as Head of Sport where I've been disappointed. Our effort, attitude and commitment to the team and College has sometimes been questionable, and it's no surprise the teams that displayed these traits were not successful. One thing that I hope that I've made clear here at Saints is that the result doesn't matter. It's all about the manner in which you represent the College. Attributes of commitment, respect, determination, effort, resilience, perseverance, sportsmanship and teamwork are what successful teams are made of and what typifies Saints teams. And if you employ these attitudes into any team, then the result will take care of itself. This is an outlook that the College has taken 85 years to build and now it’s up to the younger generation of the College to ensure these traditions continue. Saints are you ready? Are we ever!Matt Walsh - Head of Sport

Dear Members of the Saints Community,

The sense of brotherhood amongst our students and the ‘family spirit’ we so often speak of are central to the nature of Saints. They are defining aspects of our culture and are prized by staff, students, parents and old boys alike. These are major contributing factors to why our boys are happy about coming to school each day. However, we don’t take this spirit for granted and we have a number of ways that help to ensure that our boys are ‘travelling well’. One such way is the recent Safe Schools Survey that the boys in Years 7 – 11 have completed, which we conduct every year. This survey gives the boys an opportunity to answer a number of questions about any anti-social behaviour that makes a boy feel unsafe. In essence, it focuses on bullying and harassment. It asks them to identify: whether it has happened to them, whether they have witnessed others experiencing it and if so, where and when it happened? It engages the students, highlights the importance of the topic and hopefully empowers them if they have a concern. It makes the staff conscious of what can be hidden and allows us to be vigilant and take necessary steps to address concerns. The research across Australia indicates that bullying behaviour amongst children (and adults for that matter) can so often be hidden and people who witness it can feel powerless to do anything about it. In fact, the data indicates that about 75 per cent of people who witness bullying and feel uncomfortable about what they are observing do nothing about it. I can only assume that this is because people who adopt this behaviour are often intimidating and they create fear in others. We survey the boys because we want to be proactive and prevent the possibility of these anti-social behaviours. We are NOT doing this because we feel we have a problem here. The overall feedback from the boys is very positive about feeling safe at the school. I believe this flows from our strong, positive culture. Likewise, we are not naïve either – it does happen at times. However, we are not prepared to tolerate any bullying. The survey attempts to raise everybody’s awareness. Naturally, the survey is accompanied by education. The Heads of Year ensure that the boys are clear about what bullying is and what it is not. The working definition we use is: bullying is deliberately and repeatedly hurting or frightening another person. This may be done in different ways:• Hurtful teasing• Threatening looks, actions or gestures• Spreading rumours• Name calling• Hitting, bumping, shoving/kicking• Cyber-bullying.We explain to the boys that having a disagreement or an argument is not bullying. Friends can

sometimes playfully stir others and it is regarded by all, including the person it is focussed on, as fun and humorous. However, if we keep doing something when we know the other person wants us to stop, then that is bullying.At our last Principal’s assembly I gave special attention to the issue of safety and the power of taking action. I was encouraging the boys themselves to verbally discourage any such behaviour and stand with the person who might be suffering the consequences of another’s inappropriate actions. In short, I was trying to awaken the power that each person has to stop this behaviour. I was speaking to the 75 per cent who may witness this behaviour and do nothing about it. No boy should under-estimate the positive impact they can have on another person by challenging their behaviour and the sense of solidarity that can create with the victim.I also encourage parents to raise any concerns with us. If you become aware of a genuine concern that may be impacting negatively on your son then don’t hesitate to tell us. You too can be part of the silent majority who allows this behaviour to occur. Please be proactive and let us know. We will listen and be decisive about these important issues. The Head of Year is the best person to make contact with about a matter of this nature.I am convinced that it is the actions of the whole community that will ensure that our College is safe and secure for everybody. This is why we are proactive when it comes to this essential component of our school – it is a whole school approach! The safety and security of each student is essential to their well-being and to a positive learning environment. We are here to build up the esteem and confidence of the young people in our care and anything that threatens this will be strongly challenged. The sense of brotherhood and family spirit that characterises this College provides an outstanding foundation for growth and learning. Let’s work together to ensure it is maintained.With best wishes,Br Darren Burge FMSPrincipal

Poetry recitals

Rosies - FRiends on the stReet

Year 10 students had the opportunity to participate in a charity-centred workshop during their Social Justice unit this term. This was led by Mr Lyall Forde, who coordinates Rosies in Cairns along with one of our team of Religious Education teachers, Miss Shauna McGovern, who volunteers her time to work regularly with the charity. We heard the reasons why these two people feel it is important to volunteer for the charity, as well as some examples of the work Rosies does in Cairns and Brisbane.Mr Forde challenged students to consider ways in which they could make an impact on those unfortunate people who struggle to live without food and shelter. Students responded thoughtfully to the challenge!Dr Danielle LynchHead of Religious Education

YeaR 7 PoetRY Recitals

It’s that time of term again when assessments are due and assignments are being submitted and for the Year 7 boys, their English assignment is a poetry recital. This task requires the boys to present a recital of a classic Australian ballad to the audience of the annual Australian Bush Poetry Association “Poetry Out Loud” National Recitation contest. The boys have been keen to learn their ballads and to put themselves in the role of the bushy and animate their recital with props and dramatic flair. These presentations have taken place this week

and some of the classics have included the legends of Clancy of the Overflow, The Man from Ironbark and Green and Gold Malaria.

“It has been a fun task but has taken a lot of work,” said Mrs Cienciala of her Year 7 class. “It has been valuable in helping the boys improve their confidence and overcome their nerves and anxiety when it comes to doing public speaking at this level,” she added.

Adopt A cop

saints adoPts 3 coPsSt Augustine’s College had a special “Adoption Ceremony” at their Principal’s Assembly last week during which three Queensland police officers were formally adopted by the College as part of the QPS Adopt-a-Cop program. The officers, Sergeant Glen De Lai, Constable Rudsyn Marinas and Senior Constable Lee Chamberlain were each sworn in by Acting Inspector Ed Lukin.

Each officer will bring with them a wealth of experience and will be a great addition to the College community, building rapport and enhancing the safety and well-being of students.

Saints is thrilled to be a part of the program which is an integral part of policing in Far North Queensland and reflects an emphasis on police partnerships with the community and particularly the College.

“There are many positives that the Saints community will benefit from through Adopt-a-Cop”, said College Principal, Br Darren Burge. “One such benefit is the positive attitude the program will promote in our students towards police and the community”, he added. “Most importantly, it’s about the partnership between the Saints community and the Police”, said Br Darren.

The Officers will be a welcome presence on the campus and will attend key school events, such as carnivals, graduations, assemblies and sports days as well as conducting informal “drop in” visits, particularly during break times.

Eusebio Goncalves

On Monday 13 June our Junior and Senior Debating teams competed in the grand final of the Rotary Debating competition. The Junior team, consisting of James Blee, Mitchell Ralston and Harrison Will, took on St Monica’s and argued the negative for “That imagination is more important than knowledge.” The team argued that while imagination was, of course, important, ultimately it was not more important and highlighted examples where knowledge and imagination work together. They argued that imagination cannot yield results without a knowledge base to draw on and that imagination was simply the manipulation of knowledge. The boys spoke with confidence and charisma, but were outdone by the stronger arguments of the affirmative team. The Senior final saw Sam Cristaudo, Eusebio Goncalves and Jeremy Robertson take on St Monica’s, arguing the affirmative for “That a good environment is a first world luxury.” Definition was key in this debate and the boys argued that a good environment was indeed a luxury; so much so, that it was even a luxury for first world countries. Arguing that a good environment was like a first class ticket; expensive, desirable but hard to obtain, the boys came in second to the negative team who argued that it was not a first world luxury, it was a whole world necessity. Once again, the boys delivered strong arguments with confidence and flair. The extended amount of time that it took for the adjudicators to make their decision is a testament to what a tough debate it was. Each team should be incredibly proud of their performances. The teachers and family members who had the privilege of watching two fantastic debates were certainly impressed and proud of these Saints boys and we look forward to many more Debating grand finals to come in 2017 and beyond.

In recent weeks we have had two exciting events to report. On Friday 27 May, Matthew Cunnington and Rihards Rubulis from Year 12, Braedyn Dwyer and Rhys Thomas from Year 11 and Drew Milevskiy and Joshua Yamashita from Year 10 nominated themselves to represent St Augustine’s in the annual Royal Australian Chemistry Institute Cairns Regional Titration Competition. The boys were committed to the cause, undergoing supervised guidance and training by our amazing senior Chemistry teachers Dr Olivier Haillant and Mr Max Churchward in the weeks leading up to the competition. All their hard work paid off with the boys feeling nervous but prepared and quietly confident on the day.Each member of the Saints team carried out the analytical technique of titration effectively and accurately and thoroughly enjoyed the experience competing against many other schools from as far away as Weipa. Unfortunately the final results from the competition have not yet been issued, however it was a pleasure seeing the boys rise to the challenge and represent Saints with maturity and diligence.The other event which was enjoyed by Year 9 and 10 boys was a forensic workshop put on by a Victorian company called Education Interactive. The 60 minute workshops were held in Lennon Hall and showcased all the evidence gathered in the forensic investigation of a crime. The boys listened intently to the pieces of evidence collected from the murder of a young girl, understanding how each piece of evidence is processed in a real world setting and then attempting to analyse the evidence themselves and reach a conclusion as to who the culprit of the crime was. The boys appeared to be very much engaged throughout the workshop and enjoyed the learning and information they attained by attending. It is hoped that a similar workshop will be run next year and open to some of the younger age groups.Mrs Kastelle Gane - Head of Science

daiso excURsion

Year 11 and 12 Japanese classes and Year 10 Japanese class have individually had the privilege to go on an excursion to Daiso Cairns Central just after the store’s grand opening on Saturday 4 June.Daiso is famous 100 yen shop company in Japan. Literally you can buy items at 100 yen in the shops. In Australia, they sell a variety of merchandise from food to stationery at $2.80. The Japanese classes enjoyed their time to browse and shop within an hour and brought a basket full of items back to school. Of course they had to read and understand some Japanese writing to buy their items.You will be surprised at not only the price and the quality, but also the range of the items at the shop. There are some Japanese speaking shop assistants available and you may be able to practise speaking Japanese with them if you are lucky enough.Ms Hiroko YamaguchiJapanese Department

Technology has been an important part in our lives because of the many new inventions from software and hardware companies. At Saints we have embraced the age of technology with the new one to one laptop scheme for all students. In spite of all this technology, as every child thinks when they see a sci-fi movie, something is missing. That something is robots. Recently, a robotics club has been established for interested boys in Years 7 & 8. The club, held every Thursday after school, uses Lego Mindstorms EV3 education sets platforms to build and program robots.The club has been well received with a full class of boys coming each week and the tasks completed have been inspiring and productive. Firstly, we built robotic arms/cranes that were created from the instructions on the Mindstorms EV3 site. These robots had the ability to pick an object up with its claw and then rotate the object to a different location and release it. Some of the students in the class excelled at this initial task and moved on to create their own robots on wheels.The rest of the club went on to create a motorised buggy, which had senses on the front to control its actions and movements. A colour sensor was attached to indicate that the buggy should follow a certain colour when placed in front of it. When altering the program, this sensor also allowed the buggy to stop when coming in contact with a colour. Not too dissimilar to a cat following a light on a wall.With these new skills in hand, the club is looking to build on these projects next term with the new expansion packs and start entering students into local robotics competitions. Any interested students are more than welcome to come and have a go, just sign up at the start of next term. See Miss Fish for details. Antoine Haddad - Year 7 student

The end of Semester 1 has arrived and our boarders are preparing to head home. Considering Term 2 was 11 weeks this year, the boarders are to be commended on the way they have balanced the stress of school, boarding and an extended term. While it has been a full and rewarding semester, everyone in our boarding family is looking forward to spending time with their families and loved ones. I encourage all our boarders (and staff) to reflect on their efforts throughout the term and have a restful holiday in order to recharge for Term 3.The final weeks of Term 2 have been busy and stressful with study, exams and the normal pressures of schooling. While assessment and exams have been a focus for the last few weeks, our boarders were also involved in significant community days, end of term outings and the usual Tuesday/Thursday afternoon activities and Saturday outings. Many thanks to all boarding staff, particularly the Heads of Residence, who work tirelessly to make St Augustine’s boarding a home away from home.

TUESDAY AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACTIVITIESThroughout Term 2, all boarders in Years 7 – 10 participated in Tuesday afternoon sport and Thursday afternoon activities. On Tuesday afternoons, the boarders were broken up into eight teams and competed in a range of sports including soccer, AFL, volleyball and netball. The winning team was:Saints: Jessica Collins, Maggie Bau, Emma Smith, Lafe Hatfield, Slade Roberts, Kelly Jorgensen, Alex McInnes, Matthew Wolfaardt, Eshton Williams and Jimmy Samarua.Also congratulations to David Grant and Maggie Bau who received first place in the best and fairest awards. Ryan See Kee, Gabby Reynolds & Jordan Lindsay also received awards for their efforts during Tuesday activities.Thursday afternoon activities included fishing with Mr Jones, woodwork with Mr McMenamin, cooking with Mr Dorahy and arts & craft with Mrs McKenzie. Thank you to the staff for providing activities for the boarders and to Mr Parsons who coordinates these activities.

FAREWELLMs Kimberly Neumann has completed her GAP year experience at St Augustine’s and St Monica’s. Ms Neumann has proved to be an asset to boarding. She worked primarily with the girls in Chavoin, but also helped in the day schools at both St Augustine’s and St Monica’s. We wish Ms Neumann all the best as she returns home to Canada. Mr Joe McKenzie loves Cairns and St Augustine’s so much that he has elected to stay on for another year.

TERM 3A reminder that all boarders are expected to be in residence between 4:00pm – 8:00pm on Monday 11 July.

SAVE THE DATE For the families in the Torres Strait, please save the date for our Term 3 Country Dinner. We look forward to visiting you from Wednesday 17 August to Saturday 20 August.Have a restful school holiday.

An Evening with Dr Ian Lillico

“To hear Ian Lillico speak was so refreshing…The functionality of society and community is tied up with having well balanced boys. Ian gives to parents solutions on how to relate and interact with our boys. This understanding helps build quality relationships during those formative years. Absolutely a message our society dearly needs to hear and act upon.”Russell & Anne Reinbott Parents

“Ian’s seminar was the best in-service I have attended in 22 years. His advice was practical, very interesting and easy to

connect with ... Every teacher and parent of boys should have the opportunity to listen to Ian. I know I will be a better mother

and teacher for having this opportunity. Thank you.”Karen Campbell Teacher and Parent

“…. I felt this presentation by Ian was founded on respect - respect for boys, respect for their families, their schools and their educators. Not judgmental, not pessimistic, not patronising. I'm glad I went. I'll certainly be visiting the web site for follow-up PD.”Marilyn Gordon

REGINALD MAKE IT A SWEEP IN 2016Reginald House has continued their domination in 2016 by taking out the St Augustine’s Interhouse Athletics Carnival. After already claiming the Swimming, Cross Country and Champagnat Day Titles, Reginald was hungry for more success and they put on an impressive show by dominating the opposition. They were never headed throughout the day and left Phelan, Heavey and Walter jostling for the minor places. In the end Reginald romped to a record 271 point victory. After a glorious winter’s day, 23 Age Champions were crowned with first, second and third placed medallions, three records were broken, and Reginald took the title for the first time from Phelan (2nd), Heavey (3rd) and Walter (4th). Special mention must go to both the staff and students of St Augustine’s for their exceptional efforts throughout the day. Their combined efforts ensured the day was a success and all are to be commended for their hard work.Our attention now turns to the TCN Track and Field Carnival which will be held on Tuesday 26 July at Barlow Park. Saints will head into the competition with a 60 plus strong team and will be looking to continue their past success of never being beaten in the competition. All the best to the team and thanks again to everyone for their continued support. Yours in sport,Mr Matt Walsh
