CATHOLIC COLLEGE BENDIGO Live the Good News
From our Principal
Audacity and Hope
I am sure that all in our community
have followed with horror the events
unfolding in Egypt over recent days.
Conservative figures approximate over
800 people killed and countless more
injured. Let us all pray for peace and
calm to return to the people of Egypt. As
this democracy has fallen apart, I have
been in various conversations about these events but one
has stayed in my mind. It included a comment perhaps
we have all heard: “We are so lucky that our elections can
be held without bloodshed and violence”. At the time I
agreed that we are indeed fortunate that the big issues in
our election are seemingly minor in comparison. However,
since that conversation I have found myself unsettled by
my complacency towards our Federal Election. Whilst I
certainly do not compare our current situation to that of
Egypt I have found myself challenging my own premise
that our election is safe and free of violence.
“In this election we need audacity and hope”
Whilst the above quote by François Hollande, the Prime
Minister of France was not referring to our current election
I would like to call on us all to adopt his call for audacity
and hope. The Oxford dictionary describes audacity as a
“willingness to take a bold risk” and hope as “a desire for a
particular thing to happen”.
Where am I going with all this?
For Catholics this Sunday is the 99th World Day of Migrants
and Refugees. It is a time for us to celebrate the diversity
in our community brought about by Migrants and Refugees.
In our community we have a growing number of refugee
families and they certainly have brought great gifts of
culture and knowledge to each of us.
In celebrating the beauty of diversity we should also
use this day to stand with those who are seeking a safer
place to live. For Catholics the World Day of Migrants and
Refugees was initiated by Pope Pius X in 1914 when, like
now our world was gripped with war and violence. How
many people do you know who have migrated since 1914?
Our National Anthem contains the line:
“For those who’ve come across the seas we’ve boundless
plains to share”
I do not see this in the conversations of the 2013 Federal
Election.
So what can we do?
We can visit www.acmro.catholic.org.au and download this
year’s Refugee Information Kit to inform us. Or we can
visit www.endchilddetentionoz.com. Alternatively we can
be the voice for those who our Federal politicians of both
major parties wish to silence and cause to vanish. All the
polls seems to indicate that both major parties have gained
support in our country by taking the inhumane stand they
both currently profess. We can stand up and say no to this
mistreatment of refugees. On Tuesday evening another
boat capsized near Christmas Island. The 100 passengers
were rescued from the ocean and will be sent to PNG for
processing. They are not welcome on our shores. They are
not welcome to share our boundless plains.
As we celebrate our wonderful democracy at this election
we know there will not be the horrendous violence we have
seen in Egypt. However let us not be too proud. I will not
be threatened with violence before or after the polls but I
will also not hear the voice of the thousands of refugees
our major political parties have shunned from our shores.
Let us enter this election with
audacity and hope to challenge
our politicians to find a humane
approach to those who have fled
persecution and come across the
seas.
Let us Live the Good News,

Annual Marian Lecture
Over the past six years our College
has been blessed to have welcomed
well-regarded presenters to lead our
annual Marian Lecture. Last Thursday
evening, Sr Veronica Lawson rsm led
an inspiring presentation titled “Mary of
Nazareth, Spirit-filled Woman of Mercy
and Justice”. Sr Veronica explored
a Lukan interpretation of Mary with
exceptional depth and skill.
Veronica provided a wonderfully researched presentation
that explored the significant connection that our College
has always held with Mary of Nazareth. From the early
St Mary’s College, to the arrivals of the Marist Brothers
in 1893, to the ongoing work of the Sisters of Mercy, the
Marist Brothers and the staff and students of Catholic
College Bendigo. She raised this in the context of “what we
bring to the text, informs our reading of the text”, making
the point that, our own experiences will influence the way
that we interpret the text. She went on to explore Mary
as a woman who ‘lived mercy’ throughout her life and
continues to play a special part in the lives of many. Sr
Veronica earthed the conversation nearing the end of her
presentation by exploring the work of Mary in the current
times, citing young Pakistani woman Malala Yousafzai,
“who leads the dance of liberation for young women in our
times”.
Following the presentation, our Principal, Mr McGregor
facilitated a brief question and answer session from the
floor. During this time, Sr Veronica was asked to discuss
her views on Mary as a woman both in her early years
and later in her life (around the time of Jesus’ crucifixion).
Speaking on the latter, Veronica referred to occasions
where Mary may have wanted to call on Jesus to ‘settle
down a bit’ or ‘stay out of trouble’ or ‘have a good rest’.
Instead, she had trust in God and courage to let it happen.
Since the lecture, I have thought about this as a parent, a
teacher and as a friend. When should we have the courage
to let things happen? How often do we ‘jump in’ before
anything ‘bad’ happens? Will people learn if we ‘jump in’
too soon?
This year’s script and visual presentation is available
on our College website under the Catholic Identity tab,
or follow this link http://www.ccb.vic.edu.au/identity.
php?id=20. Thank you to Sr Veronica for a brilliant
presentation and for generously providing us with these
materials.

To the heart of Mercy
MERCY YOUNG LEADERS PILGRIMAGE 2013
From July 12-25 we were fortunate to
be the four Catholic College Bendigo
representatives among twenty-seven
students from Mercy Schools around
Australia who attended the Young Mercy
Leaders Pilgrimage. This involved a trip
to Ireland and Italy, from the heart
of Mercy to the Heart of Catholicism.
Whilst in Dublin we attended the Young
Mercy Leaders Conference in Catherine
McAuley’s Baggot Street house, now
the Mercy International Centre. Before
attending the Young Mercy Leaders Conference,
we went sightseeing around Dublin and County Wicklow.
The conference began on 16 July, and there were people
from America, England, Belize (in the Caribbean) and
Ireland in attendance. It was very exciting to meet all
these like-minded young people. At the conference we
had keynote speakers, all Sisters of Mercy, such as Sister
Karen and Sister Áine. Sister Karen is a paediatric
surgeon, who volunteers her skills in various impoverished
communities around the world. She volunteered to provide
health assistance in Haiti, arriving the day after the
earthquake in 2010. It was a very inspirational speech.
We also participated in workshops, which made us think
about the different ways in which we can help make a
difference by living the Mercy values.
The main purpose of the conference was to inspire and
teach us, as Mercy students, about the life, goals and
history of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy. On
top of that, we learnt about what the Sisters are doing
right now, all over the world, and how their work relates
back to the Mercy values. Because of this, the conference
had a major theme of Social Justice to it. We discussed
not just things such as people in third-world countries,
refugees and war victims; but also issues closer to home,
such as mental illnesses, bullying, alcoholism and drug
abuse. The Sisters demonstrated all six Mercy education
values to us personally, offering amazing hospitality and
service, giving us their full respect and compassion, and
inspiring in us justice and courage.
We then travelled to Rome for four days, where we visited
significant historical places such as St Peter’s Basilica in
Vatican City, saw the Sistine Chapel, the Roman Forum,
the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain, and also a one day
trip to Florence. On the last day, we were very privileged
to have our own private Mass in the Irish Chapel beneath
St Peter’s Basilica, before heading home to Australia.
A massive thanks to the staff who came with us and their
expertise, particularly Miss O’Dwyer from our College we’ve certainly taken some tips away from the experience
(one coin for a return to Rome, two for true love, three
to get married!). Thank you also to Mr Edwards and
Catholic College Bendigo for making it possible for us to go
on this pilgrimage.
It was an incredible, life-changing experience, and one
that none of us will ever forget.

Killick VT8 & Liam McGregor MY8, Mercy Pilgrims 2013
Live the Good News | Edition 25 | 22 August 2013 | Page 4 Prayer for Faith and Hope
God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ and Father to us all,
We, pilgrims of faith and hope, entrust our prayer to you.
Look upon those who travel in search of a better future for
themselves and their loved ones.
Look upon those who are forced to flee away from their home
because of hatred and persecution.
Look upon your pilgrim people in whose hearts “faith and hope
are inseparable”.
Hear the cry of the people who “lack essential goods, are victims
of natural disasters, wars and social unrest”.
Hear the cry of those whose journey has become an ordeal
undertaken for the sake of survival.
Empower our Nation to be a land of welcome and love, a place
where ‘faith and hope” find true meaning.
Mary, Mother of migrants, “star of the new evangelization”
accompany us in our pilgrimage towards the encounter with
our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reign forever and ever.
Amen.

Migrant and Refugee Week
19-25 August 2013
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI chose to dedicate the
2013 World Day of Migrants and Refugees to the theme
“Migrations: pilgrimage of faith and hope”. In his
message he explains:
“Faith and hope are inseparable in the hearts of many
migrants, who deeply desire a better life and not
infrequently try to leave behind the “hopelessness” of
an unpromising future. During their journey many of
them are sustained by the deep trust that God never
abandons his children; this certainty makes the pain
of their uprooting and separation more tolerable and
even gives them the hop of eventually returning to their
country of origin. Faith and hope are often among the
possessions which emigrants carry with them . . .”
After detailing his thoughts on suitable responses
from the Church and world governments, His Holiness
concludes:
“Dear brothers and sisters who yourselves are migrants,
may this World Day help you renew your trust and hope
in the Lord who is always at our side.”

Life Choices Program
On Friday 9 August, Catholic College Bendigo was extremely fortunate to host the pilot of a new and
innovative program, Life Choices. This pilot was attended by twenty Year 11 students from each of
Catholic College Bendigo, Bendigo Senior Secondary College and Girton Grammar School.
The Life Choices pilot was developed by local man and ex-St Vincent’s College student, Mr Kevin
McGrath. It proved to be a dynamic educational program comprising four sessions aimed at assisting
students to make informed and positive choices now and into the future. The first session related
to the area of health, in particular mental health, nutrition, alcohol and other substance use. This
session was most ably facilitated by Jennifer Hurrell and Sam Johnson from Headspace, Bendigo. The
second session was presented by Georgina Rhodes from Victoria Legal Aid, Bendigo and centred on the legal rights and
responsibilities of young people. Following this was a thought-provoking session on relationships presented by Angela
Casey, a Social Worker with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) and Kelvin Curnow
a local School Chaplain. The final session on Finance was a most energetic and entertaining presentation given by Lisa
Simpson, a Financial Counsellor with Bendigo Community Health Services.
The morning was most ably hosted by Ally Curnow MY12 and Michael Pemberton JR11 from Catholic College
Bendigo, Sarah Bibby and Lucas Kiel from Bendigo Senior Secondary College and Brooke Jennings and Stuart Crickmore
from Girton Grammar School. Thank you to the school staff and other interested adults who attended with the students.
The biggest thank you to the sixty-odd Year 11 students who attended: you were engaged, asked fabulous questions and
were very much a testament to the ‘Goodness of Young People’.
The program concluded with the following ‘Words of Wisdom’:

• It’s OK to ask a mate R U OK

4. Aim for responsible parenting, not good parenting: Responsible
parents practice nonchalance. They don’t take personal responsibility
for children’s problems and challenges. Example: A school lunch left at
home is a child’s problem, not a parent’s problem. A responsible parent
realises that a forgotten lunch presents an opportunity for a child to be
resourceful; a good parent takes the lunch to school robbing a child of a
learning opportunity.

1. Balance two approaches: Parents need to have two sides to their
game. You need a firm side and you need a compassionate side. You
also need the wisdom to know when to use each. Many parents default
to either firm or compassionate with particular children. If this is you
then you need to develop your ‘other’ side.
3. Learn from others: It helps to take a sticky beak at what other parents
are doing. Not so much to benchmark your children’s progress, but to
gain an impression of how others go about their everyday parenting.
Parents don’t parent well in isolation. Social connection is as important
to parents as it is to children.

2. Take time to review & reflect on your practice: Lack of time
stops us from being the type of parents we want to be. For instance,
busyness makes us do things for kids, rather than teaching them to be
independent. Also most parents are too busy parenting to reflect on your
practice – that is, to think about what’s working and what’s not. As the
saying goes: “The trouble with being a parent is that it takes all your
time being a parent.”

WELLBEING COMMENT
5. Develop a family focus: In an era where parenting is very much
an individual activity your ability to develop a family-focus is harder
than ever. However it’s vital that you develop this focus for those
times when things go wrong. Your ability to draw your family together
when challenges arise will impact on the resilience of each child. Make
‘putting yourself out for others’ part of your family culture or way of
doing things. That starts with children ‘putting themselves out’ for their
parents and their siblings.

but he was nothing special;
he was not important,
not to anyone. Not that anyone knew
that he was there.
He was two inches tall;
Black hair fell over his dark eyes.
In the shadows where he thrived,
his pixelated mass
ducked
and dived; it twisted
and it turned.
The world around him buzzed with life
but no one noticed him;
not once.
He stuck to the shadows his home staying away from the lights of the city
and the terror that it held.
You see, the life of
a pixelated, two inch boy
is a dangerous one, laced
with shoes of the giants
that crunch
whatever stands in their way;
the blinding beams that seek
through the darkness.
Investigating
Outdoor
Environments
Early this term, the three Unit 2
Outdoor and Environmental Studies
classes participated in a 3-day crosscountry skiing experience through
the Bogong High Plains in the
Alpine National Park. After picking up our skiing
equipment at Mount Beauty we drove to Falls Creek Resort
where we set off on our educational adventure.
Living and camping over 1500m above sea level, the Outdoor
‘Edders’ braved the sub-zero climates for two nights and three
days while learning to cross-country ski (very fun) and looking
at the characteristics of the alpine environment including
the hydro-electricity scheme that dominates the region. We
also gained practical outdoor skills with an emphasis on how
humans impact this fragile area through recreational and
commercial activities, thus necessitating our involvement in
minimal-impact camping. The many management strategies
that are in place to conserve the environment for future
generations were discussed and witnessed first-hand.
Students also learnt about the various modes by which people
experience the Alpine environment and the myriad of motives
that individuals express for participating in outdoor activities. The hands-on nature of this activity served to crystalize our
personal and academic development in a way that could
only occur in the field. Bumps, falls, crashes and stacks were
commonplace, and were generally hilarious for all involved.
Over the course of the three weeks, many different weather
conditions were encountered from blue skies and sunshine to
windy white-outs. The third class were lucky enough to wake
up to thirty centimetres of fresh snow on their first morning
in tents. Overall the trip was a fantastic experience for all
involved.

He was nothing in particular,
just a small part of the universe,

BASKETBALL
On Thursday 15 August, four junior teams competed in
the School Sport Victoria Sandhurst Division Basketball
tournament held at the Bendigo Stadium. Competition was
against all the local schools with the winners progressing
through to the Loddon Mallee Regional Finals in Term 4.
Year 7 Girls
The Catholic College Bendigo (CCB) Year 7 girls played four
games for the day and came away with four wins. A top effort!
Game 1: CCB 66 defeated Weeroona College 4.
Game 2: CCB 56 defeated Eaglehawk Secondary College 2.
Semi Final: CCB 28 to Bendigo South East 16.
Grand Final: CCB 27 to Crusoe College 13.
with under a minute to go . . . Brodie Fry grabbed an offensive
rebound and put it straight back up . . . and was fouled! The
buzzer went off for the end of the game, with Brodie having
two free-throws. A large crowd had formed around our court;
Brodie stepped up and missed the first. After composing
himself, he stepped up to take the second . . . and bang, into
the backboard and in! We had won!
It was a great performance by all the boys. Special thanks to
the parents who supported the boys, stopped the blood noses
and did the scoring. Onward to the next round in October.
Mr Daniel Arnott, Coach
All girls represented the College with pride and played some
excellent basketball. We now look forward to the regional day
here in Bendigo on 25 October.

Year 7 Boys
The first game for the Year 7 boys was against Weeroona
College and proved to be a tougher than expected battle, with
the scores close at half time. In the second half our team
started to gel and eventually came out winners 27-17. Our
second opponent Eaglehawk College proved less challenging,
with our boys winning 46-0. Then came the finals - in the
semi-final we played Crusoe College. Applying a full-court
press, our boys had a great start and cruised to victory, 4517. The final loomed against Bendigo South East College.
Without a break between games, we were up against a team
that has been training since Term 1. After a shaky start and
being down at half time, the boys showed great sprit to draw
level early in the second half. For the rest of the game the
lead regularly swapped between the teams, until it was level

The Year 8 boys had a great tournament, winning their pool
matches against Weeroona College and Eaglehawk College
convincingly. Their hot form continued into the finals. In the
semi-finals they defeated Bendigo South East College and then
went on to win the final against Eaglehawk and qualify for the
Loddon Mallee Regional Day next term. Congratulations to all
players on your exceptional display of skill and sportsmanship
and good luck for the regional finals.
Year 8 Girls
Game 1 vs Weeroona College: Catholic College Bendigo got
off to a flying start, running the lanes really well, boxing out
on rebounds and our shooting was a highlight. Final score of
52-2.
Game 2 vs Eaglehawk College: We had a bumpy start with
Eaglehawk scoring the first goal, but we regrouped and took
off from there on to a winning score of 55-8.
Game 3 Semi-Final vs Crusoe College: Great start with
winning the tap and getting a layup. We played great defence
and scored a lot off fast breaks. We finished with a smashing
score of 36-10 to finish off.
Game 4 Final vs Bendigo South East College: Amazing effort
by all the girls to win the final. After a tough start we took off
and started passing the ball around and playing like a team.
We finished well and had a great win with a score of 36-11.

Trapshooting goes off with
a bang!
On Thursday 8 August, staff were greeted with the
alarming sight of some smiley, happy boys brandishing
shotguns in bags, ready to board the bus to Echuca to take
on the district’s best shooters at the Clay Target Shooting
Championships.
Thirty boys from both La Valla and Coolock made the trip
(some with parents in tow) to shoot in some of the best
weather conditions the competition has seen in years.
Leading the junior boys were Josh Knight and Aaron
Knight, both on 14, followed by Nathan Zoch (9), Alex
Kabalan (8), Vaughan Gray (7) and Cooper Borserio
(3).
The senior boys had a strong team presence, with some
great shooting all round.
Jordy Garland took out the Senior Boys title with an
outstanding and unchallenged effort of eighteen out of
a possible twenty shots. His efforts have earned him a
place to compete for the State Title at the Winchester
School Students Clay Target Championships, being held in
Bendigo on 2 September.
Braedyn Woodhatch, Zac Alford and Devin Barker
were all close behind on 15, followed by Mitch Penn on
14, Jayden Baber on 13, Nathan Granger on 12, Matt
Fitzgerald, Ben Moyle, Tom Chaplin and Jacob Evans
all on 11, Anthony Bigham and Harrison Hartley on
10, Lachlan Murray-Major, Corey Mylon and Patrick
Slavin on 9, Tom Colvin and Josh Hopkins on 7,
Nathan Styles and Rowan Douglass on 6, Jared Wilkie
5 and rounding out the competition on 3 were Joseph
Manton and Nick Colvin.

Congratulations
As the last of the games ended this past weekend,
Flynn Hartigan (BK1) has emerged as the winner
of the Golden Boot award in the Bendigo Amateur
Soccer League, Under 12A competition with
twenty-five goals for the season.
Overall, it was a tough shoot with excellent competition
from the other schools attending. The support from the
parents that attended the shoot was very welcome and the
students all demonstrated a high level of gun safety, had
a great deal of fun and were a credit to our College. We
encourage some female shooters to join the team for next
year, as the girls championship has not been won since
the departure of former girls champion, Kim Moroni a few
years ago.
Playing as a striker for Spring Gully White in his
sixth season for the club, Flynn completed his best
individual performance eclipsing his fourteen goals
from last season. Well done Flynn.

using industrial-strength structural glass and melting it

using everyday art terms. This gave value to the content

Students were treated to a guided tour of one of Steiner’s

is a memorial sculpture that is a part of the Children’s

Following this excursion, a number of our students are
now able to see the role of the artist in our community
and empowered to gain understanding of the value and
importance of the arts. The Year 11 students are now able
to apply this experience to their own artworks, to complete
folio pieces and also develop ideas for their piece in Units 3

Students are looking forward to seeing this work installed
