From the Principal VOLUME NO. 28 – SEPTEMBER 17 2018

GAZETTE Dear Parents, Students, Alumni, Staff and Friends of Rosebank,We have experienced another extraordinary week in the life of the College. It included an important celebration of Wellbeing Week (included activities, hat day, shared lunch, yoga, music, celebrations), visiting speakers including ‘Exploring the Brain’ (Neurologists from the University of Sydney) and Inspirational author, motivational speaker and influencer John Coutis, Year 7 Learning progress meetings, Year 11 Drama Evening, Co-Curricular photos (184 groups photographed), Year 12 House Farewells, Manga Madness in the SRSC (lunchtime). These make up some of the extraordinary and enriching experiences we offer our studnets to reflect, challenge, motivate and reward. It is a rich tapestry on the road to growth, maturity, agency and authentic self confidence.

This week we received the exciting news that the following Rosebank students have been selected into the Australian Dragon Boat Team to compete in Thailand in August 2019; Daniel O'Neill, Ben Lincoln, Olivia Cermak, Sarah Gardina, Vanessa Giardina, Laura Hennessy, Zoe Lincoln and Amy O'Neill. We also had our three CBS teams in the finals. This continual pursuit of excellence is inspiring and we continue to thank our Co-curricular coaches who support and challenge these young men and women.

We also thank Ms Clark and the welfare committee who arranged a week of celebrations to highlight the importance of wellbeing - our personal responsibility to ensure our own as well as that of others. Among the range of experiences, we all were inspired and challenged by the words of John Coutis. John is a remarkable Australian who was born with a severe physical disability; doctors gave him little chance of survival. John has not only defied medical opinion, he has thrived and is acknowledged as one of the world’s most inspirational speakers. Without the lower part of his body, John embraces a full and positive life. He rolls around on his custom made skateboard and uses humour to communicate some of life’s most important lessons.

As teenagers and adults face the many challenges of life including transitions from childhood to adulthood, it is so easy to fall into a mindset of being a victim and so blaming everything and everyone in our lives. However what John demonstrates and speaks about is our inherent worth, given to us at birth and something that no one can take away. While many have serious and genuine struggles in their life, we can either wallow in self-pity or embrace life. It’s up to us. We can see the ‘cup half empty’ identifying all that we do not have, all that we are missing out on, or any lost opportunities. Or we choose to see the cup as ‘half full’ with a focus on what we do have, what gifts we have been given, our home and family, our life style and the opportunities to make something of our life. The Buddhist tradition explains that our happiness is determined by our expectations. We need to develop a reflective posture and engage in deep listening.

In 2016 I had the privilege to attend the ‘Edge of the Sacred’ conference at White Gums at Honeymoon Gap, outside of Alice Springs. Apart from recalling my life changing times and friendships while working in the Centre

as Principal, I was part of over 100 non-Indigenous people from across Australia gathered to hear Miriam Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann and others speak about the spiritual road to reconciliation with Aboriginal people. Rather than speak of treaties and politics, Miriam Rose, an Aboriginal elder, artist and educator, shared the concept of quiet meditation, an Indigenous practice that her people use to find out who they really are, their purpose, and where they are going.

Australia needs to know that Dadirri (deep listening to the land) can help us slow down, stop, and help us realise who we are, what we are about, where we are going, and where we belong.

'It's our make-up, it's our spirit,' she says. 'Sometimes our spirit is hurting or it is waning and we have to call on it to revive our drooping spirit. 'To do that, we say that "we call on the deep and the deep calls on us", so we connect and feel that we belong still. And nature plays a part in your becoming a whole person.'

My friend David Tacey, author of ‘Edge of the Sacred’ notes that Indigenous Australians have been extraordinarily generous. 'Even though they have been hugely damaged by us, the colonisers, they try to help us in our plight,' he says. 'They can see we are not happy. We are exiled from land, locked up in ourselves. And they want to liberate us.'

Another speaker at the gathering was elder, artist and pastor Rex Granites Japanangka (born in 1950) who travelled around the country teaching non-Indigenous Australians the importance of the spiritual traditions that form Aboriginal identity. Kumanjayi Japanangka commenced painting in 1988 and we have two of his more recent original art works at Rosebank.

The central Australian indigenous and white community celebrated the life of this significant Leader who died last week. Born in Yuendumu, Lutheran, Anglican and Uniting ministries all formed part of his education, Kumanjayi Japanangka made it his life’s work to convey to non-Indigenous Australians just how the traditions of the Warlpiri people are continuous with the Christian God.

Our two paintings speak of the very important stories of Warlpiri people: Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming). In the dry season Lake McKay dries up and joins Mina Mina Desert. The Dreaming tells about the journey of a group of ancestral women of all ages who travelled far to the east beyond the boundaries of their Warlpiri Country.

The women began their journey at Mina Mina, where the first Digging Sticks, "Karlangu", emerged from the ground. Taking these Digging Sticks with them, they created Janyinki and other sites and performed ceremonies as they travelled. They collected food and "ngalyipi" also known as Snake Vine which has medicinal qualities.

Kumanjayi Japanangka’s friend and doctoral supervisor, the Reverend Dr Steve Bevis, is the minister of the Flynn Uniting Church in Alice Springs. He says he's been deeply affected by his student, whom he calls 'Professor of the Bush' promoting his unique interpretations of scripture, which illuminate the ancient texts in new ways. He gives the example of the woman at the well, in the Gospel of John (4: 4-26).

'For Kumanjayi Japanangka, he showed me that in his dreaming, Mina Mina Dreaming, the women walk across the land, and soakages are created, and rock holes, and that they are deeply spiritual places,' he says. 'It is no surprise that Jesus would talk about "living water" at a place where there is a woman drawing water from the earth.

We continue to celebrate the contribution to our elders who have passed on their wisdom, faith and hope. We are in the process of growing the next generation of wise men and women who value and understand culture. We pray that God continues to bless us in this authentic search for meaning and purpose.

From the Assistant Principal“It takes a village to raise a child”The above quote cements what our Rosebank community is about. The wellbeing of our community flourishes through the partnership between the home and the College. Our students are at the heart of what we do, therefore the benefactors of working together.

Parents play an integral role in forming a positive partnership with the College. This can be enhanced by attending College functions, whether that be a Learning Progress meeting, a Parents and Friends function, sports carnivals and creative performances just to name a few. These opportunities encourage parents and teachers to interact and help elevate any anxieties about your child’s progress at school.

Teachers want what parents want – their student/child - to do as well as they can and engage in their learning. It often surprises me that some parents think that teachers go out of their way to make life difficult for their child. This misnomer generally comes down to a lack of communication. Communication is key in any relationship and positive relationships are built on mutual trust. However, if you have experienced a brake down in communication please reconnect with the College where your child spends more than seven hours a day. Sometimes children will go straight to their parents with only their perception of what has happened. As parents, we love our children unconditionally, as we should, however, remember the partnership you have with the College when listening to your child and help set them up for a life of success especially when things seem tough and unfair. I assure you that 99% of the time this is not the case.

Last week we had a very informative presentation at the Parent and Friends Meeting from a representative from Youthsafe. The presentation centred on how young people’s brains are wired and what strategies parents can put in place about risk taking. Setting a safe environment for our young people to make rational decisions in situations that can be very emotive. I recommend going to the Youthsafe website for some practical strategies and discussion starters.

From the Dean of MissionA Praying Community

Throughout the Rule, St Benedict encourages his fellow Christians to prefer the love of Christ above all else (RB 72). The most important expression of the love of Christ shown in the life of the community in ritual action was the Liturgy of the Hours, the marking of the day with the chanting of the Psalms, the reading of Scripture and the shared prayer of the members of the community. In the regular rhythm of the daily celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours every member had the opportunity to listen with the ear of their heart to the voice of God in sacred text, sacred song and sacred silence.

Earlier this term a small group of staff made a commitment to one another to meet every morning to pray. Over the weeks our morning gathering has begun to experience the rhythm of the Psalms, Scripture readings and share intercessions as a moment of grace and goodness. We do not “pretend” to be monks or nuns. What we do is pray as Jesus invites us, as St Paul encourages us, as St Benedict models for us, and as generations of faithful Christians have done and do every day.

Community prayer is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are never Christians on our own; we are always in community. Benedict understood this very well, which explains why he goes to a lot of effort to set down the principles and rules for the celebration of the Hours. Benedict also understood that human beings are not robots, and prayer must always allow the community to find its own voice. So Benedict’s instructions are designed to be adapted to each community according to its needs.

Rosebank’s small praying community is finding its way, doing its best to be open to the gentle movement of the Holy Spirit. At the moment we are hastening slowly using a simple format. This may grow in time, but we will continue to listen to the Spirit who prays in us and for us.

If you would like to join us, you will be most welcome. We meet at 8.00am every morning in the Chapel.

ReshelvedManga and Comic book Madness in the SRSC

On Thursday, we had a visit by Karl from Bookzone who brought a wide range of Manga and comics for our students to browse and use as suggestions for purchasing more of these wonderful resources. Our students love these formats and who better to pick what the SRSC needs than the experts – our students!

Miss Lawrence and I never cease to be amazed at the knowledge and enthusiasm our students show for Manga as a genre. Giving the students a say is the hallmark of a modern and progressive library.

Destiny and Wish ListsOn the same theme, I wish to remind parents and students that we encourage discussions around resources for the SRSC and the purchase of new resources. To do this they need to do a basic search in Destiny (our library management system) for a book. If no result appears they will get the following screen:

If they receive a result and click on it, they will see the following screen:

In both cases students click on ‘Add to Wish List’ and a form appears that they can complete. We will receive their requests and get back to them with a response. It really is a wonderful tool and one which we encourage students to use. Please come and see the staff in the SRSC if there are any questions.
