Dear Marist Family, There is much about boys that is specialI have had the privilege of working in boys’ schools for over 30 years. It is a heartening experience watching them grow. There is much about boys that is special. Graceful. Dreamy. Vulnerable. Qualities we often fail to notice or perhaps we are blinded to. There is a great native tenderness in children. In boys, as much as girls. Sadly, so often the tenderness is shamed out of boys. Over the years I have witnessed many boys and young men submit to a narrow understanding of what it is to be a bloke. Too often we witness a blokey humour that has subtly tipped over from good natured larrikinism to condensation, bullying and sexism. Our emerging young men wordlessly search for cues to rehearse their masculinity, so it is critical to provide good examples and diverse examples of what it is to be a bloke. Firstly we need to notice boys. To find them worthy of interest. How else can we hope to take responsibility for them? Our boys need mentors in their lives, people who are prepared to give something of themselves. This is recognised at Marist. Our School Captain gives us a glimpse of who he is as a person each time he stands up and speaks at assembly or leads us in prayer. Our student leaders understand the impact they have on the school community as role models. Our sports captains stand before us as examples of good sportsmanship sharing disappointments with success. The House system is built on the concept of mentoring, structured to provide interaction across year groups, and giving those relationships priority in the organisation of the school. Our teachers, sporting coaches and parent volunteers provide cues, rehearsing and projecting a positive version of manhood. As a boys’ school, I believe we are in a unique position to challenge the sometimes unhelpful stereotypes of masculinity. Marist is very clear of a boy’s responsibilities as a male, to challenge misogynistic trash talk, to speak out in opposition to violence, especially violence against women, and be very clear of what it means to grow into a good man. We cannot leave this to chance or have expectations that are fuzzy and accidental. Real men are gentle men, aware and loving, men who are not afraid to expose their pain, men who are not just entertaining, but generous and educating. Author, speaker and media commentator Melinda Tankard Reist addressed our senior students last week on sexualisation, objectification, harms of pornography, trafficking and violence against women. As you can imagine, the presentation was confronting and many boys expressed their thanks for her message of positive authentic relationships that challenges the dominant culture of objectification and consumption that young people are growing up with in the 21st Century. Melinda also addressed a large gathering of parents who welcomed the opportunity to hear good practical advice supporting their sons and daughters in their journey to adulthood within a dominant sexualised culture. The Value of Team SportWe arrive at the end of another winter sport season and it is a time to celebrate and give thanks. Whilst the scoreboard plays a part in motivation for participation, it is just a small component of the appeal of playing team sport for your school. Most significant is the psychological need to belong and to be connected to others while keeping people accountable. There is a great deal of satisfaction from working well as a team and a general sense of accomplishment in facing challenges and learning new skills.

FROM THE HEADMASTER CONTINUED...

Biological science informs us the neurotransmitters released during exercise have many benefits. We now know that when you exercise your body releases hormones called endorphins, which amazingly reduce your perception to pain. Exercise also releases a chemical called dopamine, which creates feelings of pleasure and reward. Interestingly, rowers who exercise together significantly increase their endorphin release compared with solo rowers. There is also a great deal of research that shows team sport is good for your mental health and is known to reduce anxiety and depression. We have long known the physical benefits of playing a team sport, however, it is the pleasure team sport brings that remains the key motivator to staying healthy.

The winter sport season saw the First XVIII win the Rising Stars Under 19 AFL competition while the First XV were runners up to St Edmund’s College in the Rugby Grand Final. The support displayed by these teams at their opposing code grand finals was credit to the wonderful spirit of supporting your mates and playing for your school.

This weekend, our First XI Soccer team will compete against Canberra Grammar in the Division One competition. Many other underage teams across all codes won their respective competitions while large numbers of boys gained representative selection at State and National level. The boys and their families are forever grateful to the large numbers of volunteers who undertook roles on committees, as coaches, managers, first aid officers, canteen attendants, grounds managers and officials. There are many other tasks that go unnoticed each week but all contribute to ensuring our boys and parents have a sense of belonging to our Marist community. I was recently informed there are about 700 volunteers undertaking various roles and responsibilities who give of their time for the benefit of others. For this we give thanks. May St Marcellin continue to watch over our boys and their families. Yours sincerely Matthew HutchisonHeadmaster

CURRICULUM IN FOCUS

RECENT VISUAL ARTS EXCURSIONS

This semester Visual Arts students have been involved in a range of experiences which enhanced their classroom studies. All current Year 7 Art students visited the National Gallery for an introductory focus tour. Year 11 Graphic Design students visited the National Gallery to find some inspiration for their Typography projects and also learned something about the print production industry at a local studio called ‘Create and Print’. The Year 11 Photography students had hands-on experience in a lighting workshop provided by Photo Access. Year 8 Visual Art students will participate in an Indigenous workshop during the final week of this term. Joanne EvansHead of Visual Arts

On Saturday 31 August, three students from Year 7 and 8 Japanese classes participated in the ACT High School Japanese Speech Contest held at Alfred Deakin High School. Forty enthusiastic students of Japanese from ten public and independent schools in Canberra participated in this contest. Joel Crisp and Brandon Pucci in Year 8 created an interesting skit and acted out superbly, gaining second place in the Year 8 division. Omkar Gilkam in Year 7 confidently presented his self-introduction in Japanese and won third place in the Year 7 division. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their public speaking in Japanese in front of so many people. It takes a lot of courage, effort and commitment to speak a language that is not their own. We congratulate them on this excellent outcome! Megumi NobleJapanese Teacher - Senior School

JUNIOR SCHOOL

FROM THE HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL

Dear Parents and Carers One of the earliest documents in the Marist world is the book called ‘Constitutions and Statutes’. This book provides for us an essence of the charism set out by the early Brothers founded on the work and letters of St Marcellin to the early Brothers communities. This core document maps how we might establish and continue as a vibrant lay Marist community here at the College. The qualities described below in ‘Constitutions’ provide for me and for us a reassurance that our actions and words are deeply rooted in the Marist charism and work in the care of service of others. “The three Marial virtues of humility, simplicity, and modesty come to us from Marcellin Champagnat. These virtues give a quality of authenticity and kindness to our relationships with our Brothers and with other people, we meet. We willingly put our lives and our talents at the service of the Church and of the world, doing good quietly. We are aware of our limitations, yet, trusting in God and in Mary; we can undertake difficult tasks and carry them through to a successful completion, as the Founder did...” (Constitutions and Statutes: 5). I am pleased to let you know that enrolment offers for 2020 are almost finalised. We have been able to offer places in Years 4, 5 and 6 next year. I am grateful to the College Executive who have committed to lower class sizes in the Junior School to drop from 30. With that staffing and class allocations will begin early next term. I ask that any families who are aware of a change of circumstances to contact the College to advise the details. The process of application and interview has once again reinforced for me the outstanding regard that the College is held in the local scene. All speak glowingly of the school as a whole and are impressed by our boys and the image they put forward as confident, well-mannered, all-rounders. If I were to summarise the positives from interviews to some main themes I would put forward the following. In seeking enrolment at the College, people admire (and are seeking):• boys’ education• tradition• structure• excellent reputation• opportunities• high expectations, and • authentic connections. Maggie Dent writes in her book ‘Dare to be an Exceptional Teacher’ (2013) about the power of relationships and, in particular, about a sense of belonging as having strong positive effects on student learning and progress. “Relationship brings belonging, and belonging allows our primitive brain to relax and open our higher brain where our best thinking and behaviour comes from. This simple secret makes sense on so many levels”. I believe St Marcellin would be very satisfied with the positive connection, authenticity and genuine support that our community demonstrates for others, especially in times of loss and grief and indeed in times of joy. May we continue to live out his words “See how they love one another…?” I leave you in the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Eamonn Moore

SOUTH WESTON ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

The College took a team of 33 boys to the regional carnival, held at Woden Park Athletics Track on 21 August 2019. We had some very good performances on the day with 15 of our boys qualifying for the ACT Carnival in September. Congratulations to Kieran Shepherd and Lucas Ryan who both broke records in the 800m and 100m respectively. Alan Keogh

Friends and families of Marist are invited to join Br Bill Sullivan for a Contemplative Retreat on Saturday 19 October from 9.30am to 3.30pm at Mary Help of Christians Parish, Pearce. Our upcoming retreat day is titled “The mystic in each of us”, ‘the inward journey of the heart’. The retreat day will explore some wisdom from the writings of mystics such as Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, the desert mothers and fathers, Br Lawrence and St Benedict. The day will be a quiet and reflective space, with an opportunity to step back from our busy daily lives. There will be some time for prayer, quality quiet space, and opportunities to explore what the mystics are offering us. All of us need to take responsibility to nurture our spiritual world, so what better way to do this than to come to a retreat day where such a space is offered. Why not reserve this day to recharge your spiritual battery? Click here to view the flyer that can also be shared with family and friends. Click here to register.

CONTEMPLATIVE RETREAT

The Brothers Together programs have been conducted for students in Years 4 and 6 over the past two weeks by the Year 9 Liturgy class and the Year 11 Marist Youth Ministry Team. The peer to peer ministry mini retreats focused on the topics of ‘Strong Mind and Gentle Heart’ and ‘Family Spirit’. These themes are part of the Marist Charism that has passed through the Brothers and continues to be lived out in our learning community. Congratulations to the boys who participated so enthusiastically and to the older boys who led prayer and facilitated icebreakers, drama, personal sharing, small groups and interactive activities. We are grateful for the teachers who helped to make these events possible, particularly Mrs Callaughan.

BROTHERS TOGETHER

WORLD VISION BACKPACK CHALLENGE

Please keep the Year 12 students in your thoughts and prayers as they head out on Retreat next week. This will be their final stage of Faith Formation in their Marist journey as students. We are grateful for all those teachers who will be facilitating the Retreats and especially Kathy Haseler who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes. May Saint Marcellin and Mary watch over these special times to encounter God.

YEAR 12 RETREATS

I participated in the World Vision 40 Hour Famine Backpack Challenge to help raise awareness of refugees around the world in our community. I took part in challenges that reflected the life of a refugee, while using only things that I had put in a backpack before the challenge started. The $520 raised will support refugees to buy items that they would need. I would recommend doing this Challenge to anybody who wants to make a difference and to have justice in the world.

FLORIADE OPENING BY THE SENIOR CONCERT BAND

On 2 September 2019, the McMahon House Council attended the Legacy Week Launch at the Australian War Memorial. Legacy is a non-profit charity that provides financial and emotional care to the families of deceased Australian servicemen and women. There were many VIPs present including His Excellency the Honourable David Hurley, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley, who sport St Edward’s Crown instead of a number plate on their car. We also heard the tragic story of Kathryn Christie, whose husband committed suicide after suffering PTSD. She reinforced how helpful the volunteers at Legacy were in affording the time for her to properly grieve, work and continue parenting. Its stories like these that validate the existence of organisations like Legacy, and prove how worthy a cause they support. Of course, this support does not come freely, which is why the McMahon House Council recently sold badges at Westfield Woden as a part of the national fundraising. Many thanks to Mr Donald and Mrs Pfieffer for accompanying us. Leo Ng (Year 12)

LEGACY LAUNCH

We are currently seeking employers in the Construction industry to take on students for Work Experience and Australian School Based Apprenticeships. If you are in any trade and would like to offer an opportunity to one of our students please contact Luke Croker.

CALL FOR EMPLOYERS WORKING IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

On Friday 13 September, Darlinghurst House ran a Staff v Student Dodge Ball game to raise money for Corena Harrison. Corena is well-known in the Marist community and is a regular at our Engage Sports afternoons where she spends time with our boys teaching them the nuances of the game of Boccia. Corena is the ACT Captain of Boccia, a ball game similar to bocce and lawn bowls, played by people with disabilities. Corena is representing Australia at the World Championships in Dubai at the end of the year with her selection to represent Australia at the Paralympics in Tokyo imminent. The Darlinghurst Year 12 boys ran out winners in a tight contest over the willing staff with the sausage sizzle and gold coin entry to the game raising $300. This money will be used to assist Corena in getting to her training which involves three days a week in Sydney. Luke CrokerDarlinghurst House Dean
