This week the College will hold the Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2015 and the start of Academic Award ceremonies with Year 11
finishing and starting their Year 12 Academic Foundation Program.
Graduation, and finishing Year 11 for those that leave Mount Lilydale Mercy College, marks a remarkable day in the chapter of a young
person’s life. It is not only the culmination of many years of study, but is a coming-of-age, another moment of transition whereby a young
person is no longer a child, but is now seen as an adult. It is what we call a Rite of Passage and for some it will be their last such formal rite .
Parents too will be experiencing mixed emotions. There will be feelings of great pride, joy and thankfulness in their son or daughter and their
achievements.
Let us pray for our Graduates and all those that depart from the Mount Lilydale Mercy College Community.
Blessings for our Graduates
All wise, all loving God,
We thank you for all your gifts to us;
for making us,
for saving us in Christ,
for calling us to be your people.
Look with love on our graduates
and bless them as they complete their years of high school.
May your Spirit give them many skills and talents
and help them to use these gifts for your glory
and for the good of all people.
In your kindness, guide them along paths that are level and smooth.
We ask these blessings through Christ our Lord.
Amen

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK - PHILIP MORISON
Dear Members of the Mount Lilydale Mercy College Community
We live in a world of constant change and the cycle never stops moving or evolving. The reminders surround us daily. At Mass over the
weekend I noted that the Church Liturgical cycle very quickly comes to an end with the Feast of Christ the King next week and then of course
Advent. For the graduating class of 2015 final VCE exam finish this week and graduation on Friday night. For the graduating class of 2016
they have finished their Year 11 exams, have their final Year 11 celebrations on Monday with Mass and award ceremonies. On Tuesday they
start Year 12 classes with the Academic Foundation Program. For Year 10, the graduating class of 2017 exams begin this week.
Constant change and evolution.
Last week I was discussing this with a close friend and colleague Principal who reminded me of the Darwinian Theory when he said to me:
‘you know the answer; Adapt or die’. This started me thinking about how we learn and how learning has changed and I came across a bit of
an article adapted from a TED Talk by Manuel Lima. I thought to share it with you.
How do we learn? For hundreds of years we believed that all knowledge came from the top and gradually trickled down to the smallest
organism. This was called the great chain of being.
This kind of learning is like a baby crawling, then toddling, then walking and running.
But as knowledge grows, the baby branches out into all kinds of knowledge.
So we began to use the metaphor of a tree to describe all kinds of knowledge like a family tree or like saying “Biology is a branch of science”.
The tree is a useful way of looking at knowledge but nowadays we are facing so much new and complex knowledge that it cannot all be
understood by a simple tree diagram. The new metaphor is the network.
We can see this shift from trees into networks in many fields of knowledge. Take the way we try to understand the brain. Once, we used to
think of the brain as a central organ, where specific areas were responsible for each set of actions and behaviours.
Now, the more we know about the brain, the more we think of it as a large music symphony, played by hundreds and thousands of
instruments. By mapping only 10% of the brain we can see 10,000 neurons and 30 million connections all working together!
Human knowledge is intricate and interdependent.
We can even see this shift from trees into networks in the way we classify and organise species.
Instead of Charles Darwin’s tree of life we now know there is an enormous network of bacteria, and these bacteria are actually tying together
species that were completely separated before. This is what scientists are now calling not the tree of life, but the web of life, the network of life.
Ecosystems around our planet are intricate and interdependent.
Networks are all about decentralisation, interconnectedness and interdependence.
This new way of thinking is vital for us to solve many of the complex problems we are facing nowadays, from decoding the human brain, to
understanding the vast universe, even to working our way through our school studies.
"When everything is connected to everything else, for better or for worse, everything matters” (Bruce Mau).
Mount Lilydale Mercy College is a community, but it too is such a network – of people, activities, ideas and knowledge and we all
learn from each other, we all depend on each other and we are intrinsically linked to each other. We support each other in our
learning. In that way we are a genuine dynamic learning community and together we adapt. We should have no fear of change for
without it there is no learning.
Still I pray for our students at this time as such times of transition may not be welcomed equally by all. Support of the other is
paramount to our success.
In recent newsletters you may have seen the launch of a CD called ‘The Mercy Sessions” advertised which is the Mount Lilydale Mercy
College product from a program called Kool Skools which gives students the opportunity to record and write songs and music. Please consider
buying a CD at $10.00 as you will get a bargain and will appreciate the talent of so many students. This is the first year that the College has
participated in this project and staff and families attended an award ceremony last Saturday night.
Congratulations to Ben Brice and all involved with the project as:
The College was nominated for “Koolest School”, their top award and although we
did not win it, this is such an honour in Year One.

Below is an advertisement for an On-line safety forum hosted by Tony Smith MP, Federal Member for Casey. This is well worth your
consideration.
Members within our community suffer the loss of dear and loved family members. Eloise Pynaker, Aunt to Jeremy Pynaker (Year 9); Denise
Rostron, Grandmother to Sophie (Year 8) and Sam Hennessey (Year 10).
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of our loving God, rest in peace.
Amen.
God bless

2016 SCHOOL FEES
By now, all current families should have received a letter outlining the School Fees for 2016. The College will assume that all families paying
via an automatic payment plan will continue paying via the same payment method in 2016. This means all automatic payment plans will
continue as they have been set up this year and will remain in place until your family has finished paying school fees at the College. Payment
amounts for each plan will be confirmed on your first Fee Statement in January 2016.
No further action is required from you UNLESS you wish to change to another payment plan. If you wish to change the way you have been
paying your school fees, please contact the Finance Office at the College who will assist you with the process.
Please ensure you contact the Finance Office if your Direct Debit or Credit Card details change.
If you are not paying via an automatic payment plan, you must either pay up front at the beginning of the year or pay regular amounts to
ensure fees are paid up to date on a quarterly basis.
If you require any further information regarding the above, please contact our Finance Office:
Margaret Kirkwood on 9237 1315 or Cathy Pote on 9739 2209.

FULL COLLEGE UNIFORM TO BE WORN FOR ALL EXAMINATIONS
FROM THE PARENTS & FRIENDS ASSOCIATION
The College has a second-hand uniform shop staffed by volunteers to help reduce the cost of fitting students in correct uniform. Uniforms are
sold on a consignment basis and a small percentage of the sale price is retained and then used to support students in other ways. If you would
like to sell uniform items, please ensure they are clean (skirt and blazer are to be dry cleaned with the tag attached) and attach the form
available at Reception or the shop. Please bring in your items as soon as possible as new students are ready to purchase. The shop is open
every Thursday from 12.30pm until 2.00pm and also from 9.00 am until 2.00 pm on Saturday 5 December and Orientation Day Tuesday 8
December.
On Saturday 5 December from 9.00am until 11.00am we will provide the opportunity for parents to buy and sell their text books in the
Bradshaw building. Because of the use of eBooks in many subjects and some new editions of some text books, there are not as many books
that can be sold this year. I suggest your child also try to organise to purchase books from another student in the year level above before
coming on Saturday.
Once again we are providing an online forum for parents to buy and sell books. Please see the information below to help set up:
Sellers will have to do the following

ENGLISH NOVELS FOR YEAR 11 & 12 ACADEMIC FOUNDATION PROGRAM
The Academic Foundation Program for VCE students will commence for the Year 12s on Tuesday 17 November and the Year 11s on 30
November. Your son or daughter has received a copy of the booklist detailing the English novels. It is an expectation that the students will
have a copy of the first novel for the AFP Program. For Year 12 students the novel required is This Boy’s Life by Tobias Wolff and for Year 11
students; Montana 1948 by Larry Watson. Both of these novels have been studied this year, so if you know students in these year levels a
second hand copy could be easily organised. Lilydale Books is our nominated book supplier and the novels are available through them for
purchase. It is vitally important that your son or daughter reads the set texts over the summer break so that they are ready to commence their
studies when they return in 2016.

SPORTS AWARDS 2015
On Thursday 12 November, students, teachers and parents gathered in the Doyle Centre for our annual Sports Awards Night to recognise the
outstanding achievements of our students on the sporting field throughout the year. We were joined by Mr Michael Callanan, Barak Campus
Director, Mr David Holloway, Mount Lilydale Old Collegians Football President, Mr David Chioda, Mount Lilydale Old Collegians Soccer
President and Mr Simon Clarke, our guest speaker. It was a fantastic night celebrating student success and great to hear from Simon, who has
achieved some amazing things in cycling on the world stage. Hopefully our students can take some inspiration away from him and realise their
potential in their chosen sport in the future.
Thank you to all those who attended and showed their support towards the Sporting Program at the College.
