CRICKET
Max Hope and Michael Waldren have
been selected to represent western NSW
as members of the Western Rivers u19
cricket team. They will compete at the
NSW u19 State challenge to be held at the
Raby cricket complex at Campbelltown
in Sydney from the 24 to 26 September
2013. They will be competing against 3
other regional areas as well as 2 teams
from the Sydney metropolitan region in a
mixture of 1 day and 20/20 games.
EARLY ENTRY
A number of universities provide an early
entry scheme to some courses with CSU
being one such institution. It can take the
load of one’s mind if a place is guaranteed
even before HSC results are published. I
need to receive completed applications
by Monday, 9 September 2013 so I can
complete the relevant sections before the
cut-off date.
YEAR 11 PRELIMINARY
EXAMINATION
The Year 11 Preliminary course winds up
this term and examinations commence next
week. I thank Mrs O’ Neill who ran a “study
skills’ for these students this week to help
with revision. We have had to change the
original schedule published in our calendar
for these exams due to ISA athletics and
markers from the Board of Studies attending
the school for HSC musical practicals. The
teacher consultation day will now take place
on Tuesday with examinations on Monday
and examinations on Friday will take place
in the Music block rather than the Kemmis
building.
WRISTBANDS - SPRING FAIR

FAST FACT
This is what chalk looks like under a
microscope. Do you remember what
chalk is?
Thought: To rejoice in another ’s
prosperity, is to give content to your
own lot: to mitigate another’s grief, is
to alleviate or dispel your own. Thomas
Edwards
Wristbands will be available again on Spring Fair day at $30.00 each. They will only be
for the rides. We can confirm that the Dodgem Cars are coming. To be confirmed is either
the Gravita Tron or Cha Cha as the second ride. The Bands can be purchased at the Ticket

from 0.35 to 0.5%.
The challenge remains. The Bishops note in their
Election Statement: ‘As the world prepares to mark
the progress against the MDGs, we ask our leaders
to recommit to our international commitments on
international aid and development.’
QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES
How will you progress the vision of the MDGs
beyond 2015?
What will you do to lift Australia’s spending on
foreign aid from 0.35% to 0.7% of GNI?
In the last budget, $375 million of foreign aid was
earmarked for the onshore processing of asylum
seekers. Will you prevent the diversion of aid funding
to immigration detention in Australia or elsewhere?
…to build equity into the economy.
Australia remains prosperous despite the financial
crises that have rocked other economies. In a
wealthy nation where there remains some fear of
economic decline, the needs of the most vulnerable
can be obscured and easily ignored.
This election, the Bishops remind us that ‘any society
is judged by how the weakest and poorest of its
members are treated.’ Think of the vulnerable –
remote Indigenous communities, those in poverty
related to unemployment, homelessness, disability
or single parenthood, asylum seekers without work
rights, the working poor, and rural communities who
have not received a fair share of the mining boom.
From the
Chaplain
Rev. Tony Card
Tough decisions…
Giving to the poor will keep you from poverty,
but if you close your eyes to their needs,
everyone will curse you. (Proverbs 28:26-28,
CEV)
With the Federal Election to be held this
Saturday we conclude our review of the
thoughts of the Australian Catholic Social
Justice Council. This week we consider two
issues...
…to eradicate world poverty.
In 2000, Australia joined 189 nations in
committing to eight Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) to address extreme poverty by
2015. While there has been great progress,
many of the goals will not be realised.
The contribution of 0.7% of gross national
income (GNI) from all developed countries
would ensure the MDGs are achieved. In 1967
and again in 2002, Australia said it would
commit 0.7% of GNI to overseas aid. Australia
has never met that target and has now put on
hold a recent commitment to increase aid to

In his 2009 Encyclical ‘Charity in Truth’, Pope
Benedict XVI said, ‘justice must be applied
to every phase of economic activity ... as
the economic process unfolds, and not just
afterwards or incidentally’.
QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES
How will you build equity into the operation
of the market and reduce the wealth divide in
Australia?
How will you ensure that costs incurred and
wealth generated in the exploitation of natural
resources are shared equitably?
How will you support the environmentally
sustainable use of resources and the
development of renewable energy sources?
I trust that these questions raised by the
Catholic Bishops and the Social Justice Council
get you thinking as you prepare to cast you vote.
God bless you, Rev. Tony Card.
Thought for the week: A prayer for this
election: Lord of every time and place, God
beyond our dreaming, we pray for wisdom as
we prepare to vote in the Federal election. Give
us a Parliament committed to the priorities of
your kingdom, so that peace, compassion, truth
and justice may prevail among us, and make us
a blessing to all peoples, through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen. (Anglican Church of Australia
National Liturgy Commission)
