Advent Blessing
Let us go in faith
to ponder in our hearts
the mystery of this moment.
And may life be born within you,
Christ Jesus be seen among you
and joy surround you like the angel’s song.

Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Friends of the College,
We have much to celebrate this week with some good news for our Clancy students in a variety of places.
Congratulations to Nicole De Leon who was awarded Runner Up at Wollongong
University’s Annual Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences’ NSW Senior High
School Technology Competition last Friday. Nicole’s project has been used in a number of
ways at the College as well. Her very inspiring film was used as a prayer for our antibullying work earlier this year. It is a tremendous opportunity for a school to be able to use
the creativity and intelligence of our students when we are educating our community.
Nicole De Leon is the perfect example of this. I also would like to thank Ms Ghignone for
her leadership and in particular to Mr Gale who was Nicole’s Year 12 Graphics Teacher.
The TAS Department has received further success this term also by having two students
nominated for their works to be included in the Design Tech Annual Exhibition of Outstanding Major Design
Projects for Design and Technology. Both Trishala Dayal and Kaitlin Gonzalez’s HSC Major Works have
been nominated to be displayed.
PSYberFest
The Catholic Education Office last year organised a competition called PSYberFest.
It encourages students to create resources, which enhance cyber safety. I am very
proud to relay that the Clancy Catholic College entry created by the Media Team
came second out of thirteen schools. The students involved in this were Veronica
Casha, Isabella Gagliano and Isabella Camilleri of Year 9 and Christian Esposito
and Frank Del Rosario of Year 10. Our thanks go to two students who were
involved in the editing, Nicholas Piet and Gabriel Devienne and also to the acting
stars, Kate O’Shea and Ben Horne. You can watch this creation on:

Christmas Hampers
A very big thank you to all the families for supporting our hamper appeal. The support has been very strong
and we have thirty nine hampers for families in need at Christmas. I hope you know that you are making a
difference along with your sons and daughters by supporting this Clancy appeal.
We also have had some wonderful feedback from the Vietnamese orphanage community we supported
earlier this year. I have included an extract of a letter from Sister Margaret Tran Thi Lanh where she wrote:“On behalf of all of the children, I would like to send you, your staff and all the students of Clancy Catholic
College our deep thanks and gratefulness. We will always remember and appreciate your kindness and
generosity.
Christmas is coming soon. In the joyful atmosphere of the Season we wish you all a blessed and happy
Christmas and New Year. May God bless you and repay you for all of the wonderful work you have done for
us as well as others. We will keep you in our prayers.”
We set out to make a difference here at Clancy in 2014. I think as
a community we should be proud of what we have done for
others.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Many opportunities for
our students outside the
classroom were embraced
this fortnight. Our Year
9’s were given the
opportunity to be part of
the Peer Support Program
and as a great credit to
this year group, we had seventy students participate. My thanks
to Miss Palumbo and Mr Liceralde for their leadership. Last
Monday, our Year 10’s were given an opportunity to participate
in a JusticeCountry Simulation.
Mr Leo Keegan from
Empowering Pedagogies came in to facilitate this with the
support of Mr Ghignone. This was an incredibly interactive and
very worthwhile experience. The students operated as political
parties and through negotiations formed government.
On Friday night, our students participated in an Evangelisation
Night with Mr Ghignone at Good Samaritan Catholic College,
the feedback was very positive. Thank you to all the students
and families who make the most of the opportunities that Clancy
brings to your sons and daughters to make them be the best
person they can be.
Art and Culture Night
A highlight in our school
calendar is of course our Arts and
Culture Night.
Over four
hundred and fifty families joined
us on the night to celebrate the
great talents of our students. We
changed the layout and the format
of the night and I can say the
feedback was mostly positive.
Our students performed in bands,
sang individually and together in choirs, many students
participated in drama performances. Our Theatre was set up with
a stunning array of exhibits from our Visual Arts Department.
Thank you parents for your great support of your children and
indeed your school. Our school is fast developing a profile in the
area of Creative Arts with all three arms of Creative Arts, Music,
Drama and Visual Arts attaining between 48% to 50% of Band
6’s in our HSC 2013. Congratulations to Sabrina Raso of Year
12 and Connor Pendlebury of Year 8, who were awarded the
2014 Arts and Culture Award. It’s a great affirmation to Clancy
and catholic education that students can excel so well in Creative
Arts.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Denise Martinazzo
who will be representing NSW
Sydney Syncronicity in the National
Figure skating Championships in
Brisbane from Thursday 27 November
through to 1 December.
Thank you to Liverpool Council
Finally, our thanks go to Liverpool Council for their support in
recent times around the safety of our students as they make their
way to and from the College. We were successful in seeking a
path to Greenway Park where a number of families choose to
collect their sons and daughters. This means that our students
should no longer cross Carmichael Drive at the bottom of the
College. This is very a dangerous place to cross the road.

Principal
FROM THE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT
This is the last week in the Church’s calendar before we begin
Advent; a time for us to prepare for the birth of Jesus Christ. Our
community participates in this preparation through prayer,
participation in the sacraments and contributing to the St Vincent
de Paul Christmas Appeal. As always, the generosity of our
students and their families is wonderful. This year our community
has focused on going out and making a difference, to see Christ in
the poor, the sick, the hungry and the outcast. Advent is also a time
to continue these efforts, as unfortunately there are many in our
community who do not have the luxury of celebrating Christmas as
many of us will. Thank you for your support in our Christmas
hampers.
It is always a privilege to participate in Reflection Days and
Retreats with our students. The enthusiasm of Years 9 and 11
students on their recent faith formation opportunities is a testament
to the great people of faith they are. I would like to thank all of the
teachers involved in the preparation of these events, as without
them these days would not be a success. After the retreat
experience of the Year 11 students, several of them took the next
step of becoming Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist. Our
thanks to Fr Joseph Trung, Parish Priest of Holy Spirit Parish, who
facilitated this day and to Miss Deguara for participating with these
students. Congratulations to Domenico Acitelli, Chloe Habelreeh,
Grace Esposito, Grant Wilkins, Caroline Rivera, Shannon
Pestana, Alicia Camilleri, Anthony Dimanche, Micaela Rubens
and Travis Abela on accepting this Ministry.
Finally, the Year 8 RE Test results were sent home this week to
families. Our students participate in this Sydney CEO Test, to
evaluate their understanding of the syllabus studied in Stage 4.
This year we received seven High Distinctions, forty two
Distinctions and ninety one Credits, an outstanding effort by our
students. Special mention to those students achieving the High
Distinctions:
Roy Tristan Dela Cruz, achieving the highest mark of 46/50.
Miguel Howard, Ryan Mortlock, Talo Niko, Connor
Pendelbury, Marcelline Querubin and Perla Akram.
Tuesday morning Mass is on next week. 9 Teresa will be leading
us in Ministry, and in Week 10, Pastoral Class 9 Heart will lead us.
Everyone is welcome to join us, especially the families of these
Pastoral Classes.

WELLBEING AT CLANCY COLLEGE
Last Saturday, the Saturday Telegraph published an alarming
article: Break the teen suicide taboo: The terrible tragedy of young
lives lost. The article was a series of stories looking at youth
suicide and was aimed at making parents and carers have deliberate
and discerning conversations with their teenagers about their
mental health and wellbeing. Having conversations is not easy and
there are a number of “experts” that have tried their best to guide
parents and carers with the difficult reality that adolescents in
general do not like talking to adults. However there are a number
of common themes that parents and carers should be aware of in
talking to adolescents.
All the experts agree, that starting a conversation with the
premise that children, even as adolescents, are in a loving caring
relationship is paramount. Saying/expressing/showing your child
that they are loved and cared for might be as simple as saying
“good on ya (name of child)” through to a hug and giving them
time to talk etc. The key in most circumstances is not so much
what to say, or even how to say it, but importantly when to say it.
Avoiding the difficult times, which leads to avoiding the difficult
conversations, is the classic example of avoiding “the elephant in
the room” which includes the topics of misbehaviour, isolation
and mental health issues.
The fist sign of any of these issues for parents and carers is when
the teenager is in trouble. Recognising the trouble and what to
say next is the basis of an excellent article by the Raising
Children Network.
http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/teenagers_trouble.html
wellbeing and for getting outside help when you need it.
It can help to:

follow through with consequences when your child hasn’t
behaved according to limits and boundaries you’ve agreed
on together;

let ‘natural’ consequences come from other sources as
well – such as school, police or others;

keep looking for ways to take the pressure off your child
and to spend some fun, relaxing time together;

try to work with your child’s school and other parents
when it comes to how your child’s behaviour is managed,
including following through with consequences;

encourage your child to seek help if they are having a hard
time;

praise good behaviour;

reinforce that you love your child but not their behaviour.
Identifying and doing something about “Risk-Taking Behaviour”
is the first step in having these conversations. The article lists the
following behaviours, but it is important to state that any one of
these behaviours is an opportunity to begin a conversation:

skipping classes, or whole days of school, training or
work;

not doing homework, getting lower results than usual or
starting to fail subjects at school;

being rude and aggressive towards parents, teachers or
other adults or family members, or yelling and screaming
at family members;

suddenly withdrawing from all friends or becoming
socially isolated;

not coming home at agreed times, or staying out all night;

showing signs of drinking or taking drugs;

getting caught up with young people who take lots of
risks;

having relationships that include sexual behaviour;

spending all day and night in the bedroom or online.
At Clancy College, the staff help your child as incidents arise and
having difficult conversations with some children, about
behaviour problems that can occur frequently. While every child
is different and not all children are showing “risk-taking
behaviour”, working with your child’s teachers including having
a ‘frank’ conversation about your child’s efforts this past
semester, may be a key part of your intervention into a serious
discussion about your child’s wellbeing. Appointments for End
of Semester Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews here at Clancy
College occur between 8:30 and 11:30 am on Wednesday 17
December.
The article goes on to say: ‘if you think your child is showing
some early signs of trouble, stepping in early can stop things
getting worse. You might need to take a look at your parenting
approach, the discipline strategies you’re using and the way you
and your child are getting on together.
HAVE SUM FUN ONLINE
Two weeks ago, four
students from the Year 7
Newman class, Shanaya
Prasad, Leo Koutsoubaris,
Esmond Alphonso, Samuel
Foti and myself were asked
to participate in the ‘Have
Sum Fun Mathematics’
competition in which we
competed
against
other
schools. In this competition,
we were asked to complete
10 different and difficult problem-solving questions within a onehour time frame. These questions were either true or false
questions, multiple choice or questions in which we had to type
in the correct answer. The questions were all answered on an
online website and there were three different rounds. Overall we
scored quite well with an 8 out of 10 in the first round, 9 out of
10 in the second round and 7.5 out of 10 in the third round. All of
the questions were challenging but as a team we worked together
and solved them. We all enjoyed participating in the competition
as we learnt more about problem solving and developed many
skills such as the skill of working together and bouncing ideas of
each other to try and find the solution of a problem. Overall, we
came 14th out of 49 teams across Australia. We are proud of our
efforts and are looking forward to competing in the challenge
next year.
You could start by talking to other family members, friends with
teenagers, or the parents of your child’s friends to see what their
experiences are and how they’re handling them. You could also
get information and advice from youth and family counselling
services or your child’s teachers.
If you can, talk to your child’s other parent or carer. If you can
come up with limits that you both agree on and can be consistent
about, you’re more likely to see some changes in your child’s
behaviour. You also need to discuss limits with your child, as
well as consequences for breaking them. When your child has
some input into the rules, she/he is more likely to follow them.
You might also think about how to approach your child about his
behaviour, or perhaps have another adult talk to him/her.
However you do it, your child needs to hear that you’re
concerned about what he or she is doing in a calm and matter-offact way.
Your child is ultimately responsible for his/her health, wellbeing
and the way his/her life goes. You can help him/her see that they
are in control of their own decisions and that they can turn bad
decisions into good ones. You can also be a role model for
finding positive solutions to problems, looking after your own
All teachers welcome helpful and honest conversations about
children with their parents. As suggested in previous articles,
having conversations about what went wrong needs to include
what can be done right. Avoiding conversations is not helpful
especially if there is a bigger issue for your child’s wellbeing.

Evangelisation Twilight Evening at Good Samaritan Catholic College
On Friday 21 November, a large number of Clancy students accompanied by Mr Ghignone attended
the Good Samaritan Catholic College 'Survivor' themed ‘Refugee Night’. The night's motive was to
inform the students and teachers about refugees and their struggles coming to and arriving in
Australia. With this, a man who was once a refugee from Afghanistan attended the night and shared
his story with the group. The night consisted of many activities, which aimed to help students put
themselves in refugees’ shoes such as re-creating a bomb raid in which students were blindfolded
and had to reunite with members of their assigned family. The night was highly successful in raising
awareness about refugees.

JusticeCountry Parliamentary Simulation
On Monday 24 November, Mr Leo Keegan from Empowering Pedagogies came to Clancy to run a
social justice simulation, which was challenging, engaging but also rewarding for everyone. On this
day, all students took part in a parliamentary simulation, in which we were able to present our ideas
in relation to social justice and the running of the government. We had the opportunity to participate
in a parliament simulation where we discussed certain legislations and extended our knowledge
about electorates, bills, the constitution and the social justice issues related. The students were
divided into electorates and were put in the position where they were encouraged to choose a
beneficial policy which will assist in governing the country, ‘JusticeCountry’. Essentially, this was a
successful day that had a positive impact on all students as we learnt new concepts and explored
issues with justice in the governing of a country.

Year 9 Evangelisation Day
Ten Year 9 students attended a special Year 9 Evangelisation Day at the
Australian Catholic University, Strathfield Campus on Tuesday 25
November. Secondary schools from the Southern Region attended and
the theme for the day was 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will
see God', (Mt 5:8). This theme reflected on our faith, the love we have
for not only each other, but for God. There was an introduction for
World Youth Day 2016, spoken by Mr David Cloran. It gave us an
insight on the international event which will be hosted in Kraków,
Poland. A highlight of the day was by Sam Clear, an adventurous, faith
filled and determined man who spoke about a mission he completed a
few years ago; to walk around the world to spread the message of unity, regardless of Christian
denomination. Also, throughout the day, as a group, we became not only closer to God in our works and in
our daily actions, but also in a spirituality sense. A large aspect of the day that the Year 9 group took out of
this was that if we have the faith and trust in God, through him, The Lord is the one which will provide for us, for he makes the impossible,
possible.

Brekky Van
Thank you to the Year 12 House Leaders for attending Brekky Van on Sunday 23 November. Thank you
to Mrs Peck and Mrs Weeks for attending and assisting with the service.
In 2015 more Year 12 students will be involved in this excellent program which is one of the ways that
Clancy students strive to "Love Like Christ".
St Vincent de Paul Assisting Refugee Kids (SPARK)
Thank you to the following students and teachers for attending SPARK during Weeks 7 and 8.

2014 St Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal
There is one week remaining of the Christmas Hamper Appeal for 2014. Please support this important initiative.
Marc Ghignone
Acting Youth Ministry Coordinator
On Friday 14 November, Year 9 students travelled to the Edmund Rice Centre, Mulgoa, to participate in the Annual Reflection Day. We
were able to meditate on our year so far and our experiences of Year 9 at this present time. We participated in a variety of activities
including singing, dancing, role-playing etc. Some students were able to display individual brilliance through taking the stage in the
musical arena by singing, playing the guitar and in some cases a duet performance. An activity that was a main highlight of the day was
the group composition whereby we had to identify songs which portrayed love and demonstrate them through dance and actions.
Furthermore, the Reflection Day was guided by a Youth Minister named Chris, who was able to connect with us in a humorous way,
however, we were still able to absorb crucial lessons about respect, love, selflessness and future career prospects. Overall, the day was
enjoyed by both teachers and the students. Year 9 sincerely thank all the teachers who
gave up their time to assist in making the
day a memorable experience.

It seems TAS Department has quite a few real life “designers”
with some of our Clancy students producing products and
designs that have been recognised for their mass appeal.
DesignTech Nominations
Congratulations to Trishala Dayal and Kaitlin Gonzalez of Year
12 who have been nominated for inclusion in the 2015
DesignTech Exhibition of outstanding Design and Technology
Major Works at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
Trishala designed and made an app called Pet Harmony. Pet
Harmony is a mobile application which centralises animals
received by local animal shelters into a small portable online data
base, with a quirky and familiar interface. The app is aimed to be
marketed by local councils/shelters to individuals within the
community looking to find an animal companion.
Kaitlin designed and
made an ebook called
Teen Talk aimed at
assisting high school
teenagers with Autism
Spectrum Disorder, to
transition more easily
into the milestones of
young adult life.
The motivation for the
ebook, was to design
and produce an engaging
and age-appropriate product
that students with Autism
Spectrum Disorder can
utilise. A need for more
resources in the market was
seen
by
Educational
Services’ designers,
in
assisting the educational
aspects of students’ lives.
Furthermore, a motivation
for designing a product that
would address basic and
social skills, and other
questions that they might have, was a motivation for Teen Talk
(Educational Services).
Both students had to learn how to use new software such as
xCode and IBooks Author. Research and experimentation
assisted Trishala and Kaitlin in designing their project and
making sure their projects could be considered real life products
that could be marketed and used by their identified target
markets.
University of Wollongong Industrial Technology Award
Recipients

Clancy’s Media Team recently participated in and proudly came
second in PSYberFest. PSYberFest is an Archdiocesan CEO Festival which asks students to create 3-minute films to promote
Cyber Safety. This year, the broad theme was Digital Citizenship
and students were asked to select their own focus to heighten
Year 8 students’ awareness of their own digital footprint.
The competition takes place over a number of months and culminated in a Festival Day last Friday. Up until then, students participated in a number of Video Conferences with thirteen other secondary schools, broadening and deepening their understanding of
Digital Citizenship and sharing film-making techniques. They
then set about developing their ideas, writing scripts, storyboarding, filming and finally editing the product.
Our Media Team developed a film which powerfully explores the
social repercussions of sharing passwords; how being a little too
trusting may lead to cyber bullying and result in social isolation.
All films were showcased at the Festival Day.
The following students are to be congratulated:
Year 9: Veronica Casha, Isabella Camilleri, Isabella Gagliano
Year 10: Frank Del Rosario and Christian Esposito.

The stage was set for the night that defines the CAPA
Department here at Clancy; The Arts and Culture Night an event that has students from all year groups combining
their talents and exhibiting their work for our community
to see.
It is truly an opportunity to celebrate the Arts at Clancy
and also recognise the tireless efforts of the staff who
always support the event with so much enthusiasm and
vigour.
Not content with keeping with tradition, this year it was
decided to take the night to new heights with a change of
venue for the performances that allowed us to appreciate
another wing of the school; the G Block. Here we were
treated to the delights of musical, drama and dance
performances.
Also the Theatre was transformed into the Louvre of
West Hoxton with an enormous amount of work on
display and many proud parents appreciating the talent of
our students. Music was also present in the exhibition and
really added an atmosphere that was truly unique.
An incredible amount of work took place behind the
scenes, including the sumptuous banquet that was
provided by Mr Ha, Mrs Weeks and the Hospitality
Team. The Year 11 students took on the mammoth task
of satisfying the appetites of the four hundred and fifty
families that were present on the night.
The CAPA team have long shared the passion for this
night and it is lovely to be part of a tradition that started
from the very early days of the College. To our team, we
thank you for what you do in bringing out the best in our
students. Thank you Mrs McKell, Ms Stirling, Ms Skuse,
Mr Harvey, Mr Scicluna, Mrs Guild, Ms Bezzina, Mrs
Morrizzi, Mrs Blake and Mrs Giusti.
To our staff who gave up their time to help with the
smooth running of the night, we thank you for making
this night such an important event on our Clancy
Calendar. The night was introduced by our two Co
Curricular Leaders, Andrew Lentini and Jasmin
Mantoufeh and we thank them for the way that they led
the proceedings for the evening.
Finally we want to thank you, our community for
supporting the talents of your sons and daughters.
So what will next year bring ? An even better and more
energy charged celebration of the life of the Arts here at
Clancy.

BUY AND SELL SECOND HAND TEXTBOOKS
The College was contacted recently by a parent about the
possibility of providing a space where parents could sell their
child’s current textbooks as well as purchase second hand
textbooks from other parents for the upcoming year.
The College is willing to provide a space for this to occur, but
the success of it will be dependent on parents turning up to sell
used textbooks and purchase second hand items.
The College will not be selling books, nor will it be involved in
any of the transactions. All sales will be private between
parents.
If the Buy and Sell is a success, we will look at expanding the
number of days in future years.
BUY AND SELL SECOND HAND TEXTBOOKS

SFX MEN’S GROUP MEETING
The third meeting of the SFX Men’s Group will take place on
Tuesday 2 December at St Francis Xavier Church, Lurnea .
The theme for this meeting is ‘Obstacles to our Spirituality’.
As usual the evening will commence with a short presentation
delivered by the Brothers for Soul, a Schoenstatt affiliated
group, followed by some spiritual reflection through
Benediction and will conclude with a brief session where
discussion, or just listening, will take place.
This is an opportunity for the men of the Parish, and any male
friends or relatives they may like to bring along, to get together
and reflect on a range of issues associated with being a man
within the Church.
Please join us from 7:15pm for a cup of tea or coffee with a
start time of 7:30pm. The evening will conclude by 9:00pm.
For more information please call the Parish Office on
