Dear Parents, Caregivers, Students, Staff and Friends of the College,

Feast of the Assumption

In Marist schools the Feast of the Assumption is a very significant event as it honours Mary's special

role in our faith story and Church.

“Mary's was a journey of faith, just like ours. Though schooled in the tradition of her people, she was

nevertheless astounded by the extraordinary intervention of God in her life. Though 'chosen from all

women', she knew the hardship of giving birth in an inhospitable place, far from home, and the life of

a refugee. There was dust on her feet.” (In The Footsteps of Marcellin Champagnat - In the Way of

Mary)

As we take the time and space to honour Mary we remember our Marist Motto:

All to Jesus through Mary; all to Mary for Jesus.

Marist Association of St Marcellin Champagnat

Earlier this week the staff of the College received a letter of invitation from our Provincial, Brother Jeff

Crowe. The invitation is to consider expressing an interest in joining the Marist Association of St

Marcellin Champagnat. This invitation is extended to the broader Sacred Heart community given that

many members of the Sacred Heart family have had extensive involvements with the Marist Brothers

and the College over many years. If you would like further information please refer to this website -

http://tinyurl.com/maristassociationinvitation or contact the College and we will get back in touch.

Br Jeff describes the group as having a common purpose and a wide spectrum of motivation. The

Association brings together those who are moved to answer the question, “What is the Spirit asking of

us Marists in today's Church and society in Australia?” So, if you would like a copy of the invitation

please do not hesitate to get in touch!

With best wishes,

Steve Byrne Principal

Scripture Reflection Friday, 15 Aug 2014: The Assumption of the Blessed

Virgin Mary

Mary set out and went as quickly as she could to a town in

the hill country of Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and

greeted Elizabeth. Now as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,

the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy

Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, “Of all women you are the

most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I

be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? For the

moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb

leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise

made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.”

And Mary said:

“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord

and my spirit exults in God my saviour;

because he has looked upon his lowly handmaid.

Yes, from this day forward all generations will call me

blessed,

for the Almighty has done great things for me.

Holy is his name,

and his mercy reaches from age to age for those who fear

him.

He has shown the power of his arm,

he has routed the proud of heart.

He has pulled down princes from their thrones and exalted

the lowly.

The hungry he has filled with good things, the rich sent

empty away.

He has come to the help of Israel his servant, mindful of his

mercy

– according to the promise he made to our ancestors –

of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then

went back home.

In the Western church this feast celebrates the assumption of Mary into heaven; in the East it

commemorates her dormition or her falling asleep. The readings invite us to reflect on the role that she

plays in the mystery of our redemption. Whatever we honour in Mary in some way points to her son.

Over the centuries devotion to Mary has been expressed in forms taken from the culture out of which it

developed. Sometimes she is pictured as a humble peasant girl. At other times she is depicted as a

queen robed in gold of Ophir who rules from heaven. Probably the most familiar pose is that of a

mother with her child. Perhaps the most dramatic of these themes is that of the celestial woman from

the vision found in the Book of Revelation. It is because of the cosmic significance of Jesus that this

tradition has been applied to Mary.

Though the first reading depicts a cosmic woman, the gospel reading characterises Mary as a simple

peasant woman intent on offering service to another. However, the words that are placed in her mouth

are words of prophetic challenge. She announces the great reversals of God’s good news. The greatness

of Mary is a reflection of the greatness of the Son of God whom she bore. He was the first fruits of

salvation. He was the victor who won the kingdom. Her part in this victory was to bring him to birth

and into maturity.

With thanks to Dianne Bergant © for the above reflection.

Franklin House Mass On the 6th August Franklin House celebrated their annual House Mass focused around the theme

‘People of Action’. Taking inspiration from Sr Trish Franklin’s recent visit and guest speaker Deng

Chuor who as a refugee has returned back to Southern Sudan to set up educational programs. Students

had time to reflect as a group on contributions that they can make to one another and the wider world.

Br Jordan Redden was also in attendance as Fr Rob Eagar celebrated the mass where all students

participated prayerfully and reverently.

Winter Sleepout Twenty-five students and two teachers spent a very cold winter’s night in the Sacred Heart College

Grandstand on Friday 1 August to gain an understanding of what life is like for the homeless around

Adelaide. Students were only entitled to use blankets donated by the community to keep warm – and

we were lucky to have such generous donations forthcoming! Thanks go to Tracy Smith for braving the

Walk A Mile In My Boots The annual Walk A Mile In My Boots was held on 8 August. We had a fantastic group of students who

met bright and early (6:45am!) in the city and then walked the length of Hutt Street with about 3000

other people, to replicate walking the streets in the cold that Adelaide’s homeless experience each night.

The students and teachers (Steve Byrne, Mick Boers, Steph Veness, Annicka Adolphi, Tracy Smith and

myself) donated money to go on the walk, and the funds raised goes to the Hutt Street Centre for the

homeless.

Students and teachers enjoyed a traditional Hutt St Centre barbeque breakfast in the South Parklands

along with the estimated 4000 other people who went on the walk.

SACE News

SACE Results and Students Online

Last week, all students who completed at least one 10-credit SACE subject in semester 1 at

Sacred Heart received a Record of Achievement from the SACE Board.

Students must ensure that they check the accuracy of their Record of Achievement and should

see me if they believe there is an error.

All students can access their SACE results online via the SACE Board's Students Online page.

The link is https://www.sace.sa.edu.au/students-online

The SACE registration number consists of six numbers and a check letter (e.g. 123456A)

and is printed on the Record of Achievement

The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is set to a default value based on the student's

date of birth i.e. DD/MM. e.g. If a student was born on June 4 their default PIN would be

0406. Students will be prompted to change their PIN to a different 4-digit number after

logging in.

Students who have forgotten their PIN can arrange for it to be reset by the SACE Board by

completing the form accessible by clicking on the link "request a PIN reset" under the login box.

This is also the site that Stage 2 students can go to at the end of the year to check their results -

beat the postie!

Students doing Year 12 (Stage 2) subjects (which includes most Year 11s who do Stage 2

Religion Studies) should check that their address is correct on the SACE Board website.

If you have moved any time over the past 3 years, it is possible that the SACE Board does not

have the updated address. Whatever address is on Students Online is the address Stage 2

results will be posted to in December. Please email me with the new address if it needs

updating.

Students have also been emailed all of the information above.

Subject Selection for 2015

Current Year 10 and 11 students are in the process of selecting subjects for 2015. Students

should return their completed and signed subject selection forms and WebChoice printout to

Homeroom teachers by Thursday, August 21.

A subject selection information session was held on July 29 for Year 11 students and Year 10

students had their information session on July 30. All students have received a folder of

materials and have been emailed a link to the presentation (in addition to instructions for using

WebChoice - online subject selection).

The information evening for parents/caregivers of current Year 10 students was also held on

July 30. The presentation has been emailed home and is also accessible from the

College webpage under the "Curriculum" menu (select "Subject Selection" from this menu).

There are also links here for forms, WebChoice instructions and the Curriculum Handbook.

PARENTS/CAREGIVERS OF YEAR 11 STUDENTS - INFORMATION EVENING

As advertised in previous newsletters, parents/caregivers of Year 11 students are invited to

attend a SACE/Higher Education Information Evening tonight, Wednesday, August 13 at 7.30

pm in the Debourg Performing Arts Centre. We will look at issues concerning subject selection

for Stage 2 (Year 12) in 2015, particularly for students considering further study, e.g. University

Entrance requirements, TAFE options etc. This information session is an important part of

supporting you and your daughter's/son's choice of subjects.

As mentioned above, all Year 11 students have received a subject selection folder to assist them

with the subject selection process. It is suggested that you read through this information and

bring it with you to the Information Session.

Expressions of Interest: SACE Board Exam Invigilators – Paid Positions Expressions of interest are sought from members of the College community to supervise Stage 2

(Year 12) SACE Board examinations in November this year. There are a number of SACE Board

rules regarding the supervision of students and overseeing special provisions students for

exams. For this reason, it is most helpful to have a small team of supervisors who can ensure

that all rules are consistently adhered to.

The SACE Board examination period commences on Monday November 3 and concludes on

Wednesday November 19. Exams are 2 or 3 hours in length, plus additional time for special

provisions students if applicable. There are one or two exams each day during this period,

except for November 18 – no exams are scheduled for Sacred Heart students on this day.

The SACE Board stipulates that teachers are not permitted to supervise exams for subjects that

they teach. In keeping with this principle, it would be appropriate for applicants not to

supervise exams that relatives and/or close family friends are sitting.

For further information about the duties of invigilators, see the attached link:

https://www.sace.sa.edu.au/documents/652891/8055ab97-74f4-4e2c-89f7-fa5d5f2e7ed8?v=1

Should you be interested in applying, application forms are available from the College Human

Resources Coordinator, Malinda Pollok - email [email protected].

Applications close on Friday September 5, 2014.

programs that provide educational opportunities for the disadvantaged in Ho Chi Minh City and now also in

impoverished rural areas. Joining her were two Team members Tam, Program Manager and Steph,

Communications Manager who presented their stories on their roles.

Representatives from all five Homerooms presented our 2014 fundraising donations which totalled over $1500.

such as fatigue, alcohol and drugs, speed, risk-taking, peer pressure, driver

attitudes, and ways in which to reduce the risk of becoming a crash statistic.

This program incorporates using contemporary government road safety

messaging through partnership with the Motor Accident Commission (MAC).

The Road Safety Section also provides a free bi-monthly e-newsletter ‘Talkin

Road Safety’ to schools which provides articles on road safety which are of

Honour Rolls – Sacred Heart College To commemorate and remember Sacred Heart students who

have served for our great country, there are three Honour Rolls

located in Paringa Hall, Sacred Heart College. These Honour

Rolls signify WWI, WWII and continuing conflicts since 1952.

The Boards list the names of all those old scholars who have

served in past or continuing conflicts that Australia has served

in.

Recently the WWI Honour Roll has undergone a

transformation. Sacred Heart College would like to

acknowledge the grant provided by the Anzac Day

Commemoration Fund which enabled the cleaning and

restoration of the WWI Honour Board to take place. This grant

was generously provided by the Department of the Premier and

Cabinet, Government of South Australia.

AN OPEN INVITATION:

Since early 2013 the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has been investigating how institutions like schools, churches, sports clubs and government organisations have responded to allegations and instances of child sexual abuse. The Catholic Church has been involved in a number of public hearings and clearly this issue is one of the most significant challenges facing the Church in Australia at a local, national and international level. The Australian Catholic Bishops have established the Truth Justice and Healing Council to co-ordinate the Church’s response to the Royal Commission. As a Parish Council, one of our main goals is to provide our parishioners with pastoral support. We believe that the Royal Commission hearings have raised issues and information which requires reflection, deep thought, open discussion and transparent information sharing. With this in mind, the Brighton Catholic Parish Council, with the full support and encouragement of Monsignor Ian, would like to invite you to an information night to hear about the Royal Commission and the Church’s response on a local and national level. The evening will include:

Presentations from the Chief Executive Officer of the Truth Justice and Healing Council Mr Francis Sullivan, Adelaide Archdiocese senior personnel and parish representatives as well as a panel discussion

An opportunity for parishioners to ask questions of the panel Time to reflect on and discuss the current situation facing us as a Church

WHEN: Wednesday August 20th 2014 at 7.00 – 8.30pm WHERE: Parish Hall / Activity Centre – 24 Strathmore Tce, Brighton All people are welcome to attend. If you require child minding services, transportation support, or if you have any queries, please contact the parish office on 8296 7292. We encourage you to consider attending this important parish gathering. Regards and God’s Blessings James Quigley Chairperson The Brighton Pastoral Parish Council July 2014
