MAKING A DIFFERENCE GLOBALLY AND LOCALLY
In a recent conversation with a student I asked the question, “Does anything you see on the news make you sad”? The reply was simple yet
very definite, he simply said, “Everything”.
It is easy to understand this sentiment and we perhaps ask ourselves whether there is anything in the world that we can change - and yet as
members of a Mercy Tradition based on the teachings of Jesus Christ we must do all that we can to reach out to those in need.
This term we will focus our fundraising efforts on Mercy related projects.
Mercy Works supports long term development projects, working with
some of the most challenged people in Australia and the
South-East Asia Pacific region.
Improving health
Enhancing social well-being
Expanding educational opportunities
FACT
80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day
Half the world’s children live in poverty
1.1 billion people have inadequate access to water
121 million children have no access to education
925 million people are undernourished
2.6 billion lack access to adequate sanitation
This week the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St Ignatius of Loyola. Perhaps in our own families we could pray this prayer not just in
words but in our actions.
Prayer for Generosity (St. Ignatius of Loyola)
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labour and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE WURUNDJERI PEOPLE WHO ARE THE TRADITIONAL CUSTODIANS
OF THIS LAND WE PAY RESPECT TO THE ELDERS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT OF THE
KULIN NATION AND EXTEND THAT RESPECT TO OTHER INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS
FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK - PHILIP MORISON
Dear Members of the Mount Lilydale Mercy College Community
It is great to be back in the full swing and with much happening around the College. Whilst I have not been in a position to attend all the
awards ceremonies over the last two weeks because of other school commitments, I have observed that they were well supported and I know
that our students are very proud to celebrate their academic success and their academic effort. It is always a joy to celebrate success within
our community and I am grateful for the many parents, grandparents and other family members that were able to attend. I know that car
parking is always tight, as was some seating with a reduced space because of the musical set up, but in many ways this is a good problem to
have. Having family attend makes any award far more attractive.
Centennial Hall has also been the home to the cast and crew of CATS as they prepare the stage musical with the Opening Night on Friday 24
July. This is a fantastic production and I cannot emphasise enough the importance of you buying a ticket. This show will sell out in the second
week as word will spread how good it really is. Don’t miss out. I bought my tickets weeks ago. There is nothing like taking the family out for a
musical.
Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of attending a meeting of the Yarra Valley Regional Tourism Association (YVRTA) which ran its
meeting in McAuley Hall, the reason being the launch of two products. The 2014 Mount Lilydale Mercy College Cabernet and the guide to
Lilydale App. The wine, the product of our vines, was made for the first time by students at the College under the direction of Mr Tim
Thompson. The Year 10 and Year 12 students were supported well by industry but particularly by Dr Wally Zuk from Five Oaks Wines and Mr
Willy Lunn from Yering Station, both of whom donated time and equipment. Even on the night I heard Wally Zuk offer more assistance by the
donation of wine tasting glasses and bottle covers for the wine. The App was the work of some geography students again under the direction
of Mr Thomson who was supported by our Mayor, Mrs Maria McCarthy. The App is a guide to walking paths that highlight significant places
around Lilydale and in creating it, the students uncovered some great places to visit.
The launch of the two products in the one event was the work of Year 12 student Megan Kurth, who secured Mrs Susan Halliday as the
keynote speaker and the support of the YVRTA, who took the opportunity to announce a yearly scholarship of $1,000 to support our
Agriculture and Horticulture program. Megan coordinated fantastic support from other sections of the College community with the design of
the wine label by Visual Communication staff and students as well catering produced in house with the support of VET Hospitality staff and
students. Overall the event was the culmination of a great effort by so many within the community as was witnessed by the great many staff
that attended.
The State Government is seeking your support in a consultation process about making Victoria the Education State. They want to hear from all
walks of life – parents of kindergarten and school children, teachers and educators, tradespeople and professionals and all that are interested.
To participate visit the consultation process at: www.educationstate.education.vic.gov.au
Be quick because the process closes on 31 July 2015.
The Catholic Education Commission (CECV) has been requested by the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA)
to provide student background data for the purpose of calculating an index known as the Index of Community Socio-educational Advantage
(ICSEA). The CECV currently holds all the data that they need to fulfil this obligation, however, families must be notified and given the
opportunity to have the details of any student excluded from the list. Please read the privacy notice attached to this newsletter and if you want
your children’s data excluded email such information to me at [email protected] by Monday 10 August 2015.
God Bless

FROM THE DEPUTY PRINCIPAL - STUDENTS - MICHAEL JOHNSTON
Thank you to the many parents and family members who attended the various award ceremonies across the first two weeks of this term. It is
important to acknowledge achievement and to encourage all students to strive to improve their performance. By supporting these award
ceremonies and other school based activities, parents and guardians are sending a clear message to their children that school is important.
As adults we are constantly sending messages to young people via our words and actions. Our ability to convey a positive message and to
attach importance to the day to day activities of life has a real impact. As adults it is easy to get caught up in our own day to day routine and
believe that young people can develop these attributes on their own.
As we get into the work routine of school for Semester Two it is vital to take note of information and advice contained in Semester One reports.
This should act as a guide for ways to improve and to set goals for the term ahead. It is also an important time as subject selection processes
for 2016 take place.
Last week we conducted a parent seminar entitled Supporting Young People In An Online World. A speaker from the Australian
Communications and Media Authority provided those in attendance with a great overview of what is ‘trending’ in terms of social media for
young people and gave some very sound advice on monitoring use. Thank you to the parents who were in attendance. A great resource on
this topic is: https://www.esafety.gov.au/education-resources/parent-resources
It also provides details of the newly formed position of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner.
One point to come out of this seminar was the importance of parents and schools being informed about these types of important social issues
that impact on young people. The task of raising young people and looking out for their welfare is a journey that parents and school share.
Knowledge about the challenges and pitfalls that they may encounter is vital. To be informed is the first requirement if we are to be in a
position to support when the need arises. Hopefully being pro-active can avoid the potential harm that we know can occur in the lives of some
people.
Another key issue facing society is the scourge of drug use. The way in which it can destroy lives is well documented and we should be
alarmed by this. Throughout the course of this term there will be an information sheet attached to each Newsletter that is aimed at providing
some facts and advice on this issue. Hopefully it can be a means to begin a conversation in your household. The material also contains links
to websites that contain valuable information and advice. Thank you to the Health & PE Faculty for their assistance with this material.
Best wishes to the cast and crew of CATS as their performances occur across a two week period. They have put in an enormous amount of
time and effort and if the primary school preview of the show last week is a guide then it will be an outstanding performance.
Michael Johnston
Deputy Principal - Students
Throughout Term Three in each newsletter we will be addressing an issue facing many young Australians and their families. This issue is illicit,
and more important to remember, illegal drugs. Over the coming weeks we will have articles to help parents/guardians speak to their child
about drugs, what to look out for and ways to protect your child. Also these articles are for students so they know what to look out for, how to
protect themselves and their friends and who to seek out if worried about a friend or yourself.
When discussing illegal drugs, the media sometimes overstate or portray many facts and figures about drugs but the truth is most young
people have never tried an illegal drug. However, in recent times there have been an increase number of young people who have fallen into
taking illegal drugs. In recent studies it is stated that:
1 in 8, 12 to 17 year olds have used cannabis,
1 in 40 have used Ecstasy/ Hallucinogens/ Methamphetamines
1 in 90 have used Opiates /Cocaine.
The facts are that drugs are illegal and can be highly addictive. It is against the law to possess, use, make, import or sell illegal drugs. It is
also against the law in most states/territories to possess any drug-using equipment. The penalties for drug offences vary depending upon a
number of factors including; quantity and type of drug, but age and previous offences can be a consideration. Minor drug offences include a
caution, a youth justice conference and a drug assessment and education session. Major drug offences include, substantial fines and the
possibility of a prison term. Obviously this is at the extreme end of the scale but it is important to know that society and the law treat the issue
of drug use as extremely serious.
Over the coming weeks will get more in-depth with ways to protect yourself or your child. In the meantime if you would like any additional help
please visit any of the below websites:

In this week’s article we are going to focus on two aspects for both parents/guardians and students; why do young people use
drugs and what to look out for in your teenager.
There are often many different reasons why young people use drugs some of these include: To fit in, a belief that everyone else is doing it, to
forget problems and escape reality, to loosen up, out of curiosity, out of boredom, to be rebellious, to feel more sociable or even to have fun
and feel happy. As a parent you’re going to hear different types of responses if you ever end up talking about this issue to your child. Below
are the typical answers heard from young people and a way to respond to them in a constructive manner.
1. “Someone had it and I just thought I’d try it”
Ask if they knew what they were taking and discuss the effects of that particular thing. Ask whether it was what they expected, and talk about
the risks of continued use. Always try and find out if they felt pressured, and if so, discuss ways to handle similar situations in the future.
2. “I always wanted to try that stuff”
Ask what made that particular drug appealing, and what they expected to get from it. If they are happy to talk, you could discuss whether they
have tried other drugs, and if so, why?
3. “All my friends were doing it so I thought why not?”
Ask if they felt safe because their friends were using it. Ask why they thought their friends used the drug. It’s also useful to discuss the importance of being able to make their own choices, even if these choices are different from those of their friends.
4. “It made me feel really good”
Find out how they have been feeling in general, as this may be a good time to offer help and to find out if there is anything else going on, or if
they want to talk about another issue. Talk about less risky and healthier ways of feeling good.
5. “All my problems from school, at home and in life just went away”
Let them know that you’d like to talk about any problems and discuss how to make things better. Discuss whether the problems returned after
the effects of the drug wore off and highlight that using only makes the problems disappear for a while.
6. “It gave me more confidence”
Let them know that they don’t need drugs to be more confident. Share similar experiences where you found it difficult in social situations and
explain things you did to gain more confidence. Consider ways in which you can help improve their confidence and self-esteem.
7. “Well, you used drugs”
Be prepared for this type of statement if it applies to you. Acknowledge the dangers of illegal drugs and that you would think differently now
about the choices you’ve made.
8. “I don’t want to talk about it”
If they don’t want to discuss their use with you, offer to help them find someone else to talk to. Reassure them that what you want is what is
best for them and understand if they would prefer to speak to someone else outside of the situation.
You may think that your child will never touch a drug in their life, but due to alarming statistics it could most certainly be possible.
Here are some tips to what you should look out for if you think your child may be using/wanting to use drugs: Drowsiness, increased
appetite, change in behaviour, loss of coordination, bloodshot eyes, anxiety & panic attacks, paranoia, psychosis, nauseous or vomiting, problems with memory or learning, decreased motivation & concentration, increased energy and dilated (enlarged) pupils.
Other important things you should keep an eye on when worried about your child:
If they’re avoiding conversations with you, constantly chewing gum, redness in their eyes, rapid loss of weight, paleness of the skin, shaky
hands and sudden mood changes or even rises in anger at family members.

AWARDS CEREMONIES
Over the last 2 weeks of the term The College Community has come together on a level basis to
celebrate and acknowledge Student Achievement for Semester One. Unfortunately it was not
possible for all students to receive an award but it was emphasized at all ceremonies that, provided
students had put in their best effort into their work as reflected by their semester one reports, that
they should be very satisfied and to look forward to consolidating and preparing for the second half
of the academic year. We encourage all students to be positive in striving to do their best, to seek
teacher assistance when difficulties arise and to make some progress every day. Begin, Believe
and Become. There are two categories of Awards: Academic and Merit.
See Collage of photos attached.
ACADEMIC AWARDS are
presented for academic performance
in relation to academic excellence;
organisation; positive contribution to
the learning environment; originality
and creativity and enthusiasm for the
subject.
SUBJECT SELECTION 2016
The process has begun! Last week Year 11 & 8 attended level assemblies to receive information

enjoyment. All the information can be found on the College website and students have been
encouraged to download the Guide to Courses (go to Information tab) and to read all the various
options for 2016. The students have been given an information sheet with password and access code and step by step instructions for logging
in and selecting subjects for 2016. The process has been or will be demonstrated at assemblies by the relevant Learning Advisor as was the

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability
All Catholic school are required to participate in the 2015 Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability
(Data Collection). This national Data Collection is taking place in schools across Australia and will provide information about the
number of students with disability in schools, where they are located and the adjustments they receive.
The information provided by this new data collection will enable all Australian governments to better target support and resources. This will
assist students with disability in government and non-government schools across Australia to complete school and go on to further
education or find employment.
Inclusion in the Data Collection is voluntary. If you wish your child to be excluded from this, you can choose to opt-out of the data
collection by informing us in writing.
If you do not wish to participate in the collection of data, please complete the above form and return to

TOURNAMENT OF THE MINDS 2015 – PARENTS AND FRIENDS (P & F) ASSOCIATION FUNDRAISER BBQ
Tournament of the Minds 2015 – Parents and Friends (P & F) Association Fundraiser BBQ
Dear Parents/Guardians of Mount Lilydale Mercy College students
P & F hold three fundraisers a year and these cannot go ahead without the assistance of our community. We are
fortunate to be the host of the annual Tournament of Minds which is a problem solving programme for teams of
students from both primary and secondary years. All schools in our area have been invited to participate which
allows us this wonderful fundraising opportunity. This fundraiser has a dual purpose, providing hospitality to our
guests and College community as well as raising funds for scholarships to our students in years 7 – 10.
We are asking for the assistance of parent and friend volunteers to help serve at our BBQ throughout the day which
will be held under cover outside Centennial Hall on:
Saturday 22 August 2015 from 8am – 3pm
If you’ve never had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer for Mount Lilydale Mercy College please consider helping
out by offering 1 hour of your time on this day. There is no requirement to be on the Parents and Friends
Committee to participate.
If you are interested please email [email protected] with your name, time available and contact details.
Thank you very much in anticipation.

I was moved to see the picture that `went viral’ online recently showing a small Filipino
boy who did not have electricity at home who was so eager to complete his home work
that his `Home Work Club’ venue was sitting outside a MacDonald’s franchise to get enough light to
complete his work for the next school day.
A poignant reminder that we in Australia and at Mount Lilydale Mercy College have much to be grateful for.
If you wish your son/daughter to attend please sign up via the Parent Portal.
READER OF THE MONTH FOR JUNE: Sarah Greene - 9 Jade
The first thing Sarah remembers reading and enjoying were `My Story’ books and, once she
started she read about twenty of them.
In Sarah’s own words she `wasn’t a reader’ until she was in Year 6 and this shows that, in many
cases, it’s not a case of not liking reading but more one of not having found the right book to
read.
The last books Sarah read, `Vampire Huntress’ series was about a vampire hunter who joins
forces with a bounty hunter and they go after groups of vampires who are murdering innocent
people.
Sarah likes reading `hard copy titles’ as she finds she can `get more into it’ as she can go backwards over previous pages and look forward to
pages she has yet to read. She also feels the benefit from on-line reading too as there is `more variety’ and is more accessible.
