10 October 2013 | Term 4 - Week 1
from the principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to Term 4. I am very happy to report that the building of the Hall is
progressing and Year 12 is preparing for their HSC exams. We continue to work to build a
better school.

Our inspiration for this comes from our faith and our leaders like Pope Francis. I want to
share with you a recent statement from Pope Francis which, I believe, helps us all to
continue on our own journey of Faith and improvement:
Catholic Weekly Papal interview – extracts:
“The Church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a
disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently.”

“Proclamation in a missionary style focuses on the essentials, on the necessary
things,” he said.
“We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the Church is
likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the
Gospel.”
“The proposal of the Gospel must be simpler, more profound, more radiant.”
“It is from this proposition that the moral consequences then flow.”
The pope reaffirmed one of his major themes: the need for mercy rather than
judgment when approaching sin.
“The thing the Church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm
the hearts of the faithful,” he said. It needs nearness, proximity.
“The Church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules.”
“The important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you,” the
pope said.
A good Catholic school is more than buildings and results, though these are important, it is
at its core a place of Faith.

from the assistant principal
Dear Parents,
Fourth term has arrived and it is indeed looking to be a busy one. At the end of last term we said farewell to our Year 12
students and wished them well in their HSC examinations. These start next week and there have been many students in the
College over the holidays and this week seeking some last minute assistance. The Graduation Mass was a wonderful
celebration of their time at St. Paul's and it was made more special by having Bishop David Walker - his last graduation
Mass before retirement, Father John Hannon - our parish priest and Father Michael Sun Jae Huang - Lakes parish concelebrant. Many thanks to all those who attended and to the organisers of the evening, it was truly a memorable occasion.
This weeks we held our year 7 2014 Orientation Day and it was great to see the excitement of high school on their faces.
They asked many questions at the end of the day. Thank you to the Year 10 students who acted as tour guides, you all did a
remarkable job showing off our College.
Next Monday we are having our Year 12 2014 (current year 11) Information Evening. These nights are essential in preparing
students for their HSC year; they are informative and provide understanding of the College and Board of Studies rules and
regulations that govern the HSC. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Year 12 syllabi come into effect in the next
couple of weeks and students will soon be receiving their first HSC assessment. Speaking at the assembly on Tuesday, my
message to the boys is that the HSC year demands consistency and commitment and it must begin from the first task. Time
will go quickly between now and when these students begin their final examinations.
It is often at this time of year that uniforms begin to slip and some boys feel it necessary to be non-compliant. After a two
week break there is no excuse for not having the time to have a haircut or purchase shoes. Year coordinators will be
sending letters home with students if they are in breach of the College uniform policy and issues need to be correctly
immediately.

St Paul’s Uniform
In 2014 there will be some slight variations to our uniform policy;

Year 7 to Year 10 students will be required to wear long navy trousers during Term 2 and Term 3 as part of the Winter
uniform.

Students will have a choice of socks to wear with their normal uniform throughout the year. School crew socks will be
introduced, however, students may continue to wear their normal long grey socks. Both are accepted as part of the
College uniform.

The original red and black spray jacket is not to be worn.. The black College jacket introduced in 2013 replaces the
spray jacket.

Year 12 Farewell and Graduation Mass
Wednesday of Week 10 Term 3 saw the College farewell the Year 12 graduating class of 2013. It was yet another
fantastic occasion with the weather once again smiling upon us and treating us to a beautiful day. The day started with a
farewell breakfast, then moved onto a fitting Farewell Assembly at midday and was capped off by yet another stirring
graduation Mass and ceremony that saw the students farewelled in true style. Some special thankyous go out to Mr
Banham and his group of year 9 helpers that coordinated all of the events at school on the day and to Ms Launerts, Ms
Shadwell and the Year 11 parent helpers that put together a delicious supper at the end of the graduation. And finally a
big thankyou to Mrs Maxine Gourley who provided a touching speech to the students on behalf of the Year 12 parents at
the graduation ceremony.
We now wish the class of 2013 the best of luck in their upcoming HSC exams and in their futures.

musicians corner
Last Saturday our St. Paul’s Jazz Band performed at the Manly International Jazz Festival. What a fantastic day as people
flocked to Manly and the foreshores to witness the Fleet Review and to listen to a wealth of musical talent on the beach and
the Corso. Sydney provided its most beautiful weather and there was a wonderfully festive attitude amongst the crowds
attending this event.
Under the baton of Mr David Kemp our Jazz group performed a forty minute set showing off their talent and the fruits of their
labour after an intensive year of rehearsal and performance. The Jazz group consists of the following members: Jack Van
Vliet, Josh Brannon, Daniel Villarreal, Anders Alama, Will Quail, Will Greinke, Dan Parker, Lachlan Miles and Blaney Powe.
Our thanks to Mr Kemp for all the hard work and musical direction he brought to this event. He is a valued member of staff
here at St. Paul’s.
It was great to see a diverse range of year groups represented from our year sevens through to our year twelve students. It
goes to show that music performance has no boundaries of age and is defined by a student’s ability to practice, practice and
practice. Musicians from all ages performed at the festival and to watch our students perform such a sophisticated and
musical set was a treat indeed. They were warmly applauded by the enthusiastic audience.
The Jazz group performed the following repertoire: Memphis Underground, Mr P.C., Afro Blue, Chitlin’s Con Carne, St
Thomas, So What and The Chicken.
Term four will again be busy as we prepare for our Year in Review concert this year at Brigidine College on the 11th
December. This year our Big Band, Percussion Band and Jazz Band will perform for our community, so rehearsals will begin
in week two for this important event.
At the end of term three our Liturgical Band consisting of Sione Pakileata, Daniel Villarreal, Jack Van Vliet, Mr Bresnahan and
Mr Kemp provided the liturgical music for the Year 12 Graduation Mass. This was an important Mass for our students and we
were privileged to have Bishop David Walker celebrate the Mass in his final year as Bishop of the Diocese of Broken Bay.
It is wonderful to see upon our return to school the start of the building of our new Music department and Hall here at St
Paul’s. I know all our boys studying music can’t wait to move into a purpose built Music department complete with Recording
Studio and new Performance spaces.
ALL ENSEMBLES AND MUSIC LESSONS BEGIN WEEK TWO THIS TERM.
Rehearsal times for Term Four:
Jazz Group:
Monday 3.30pm - 4.30pm
Big Band:
Wednesday 7.45am - 8.45am

P&F Raise the Roof Cocktail Party
Thank you to everyone who came along to our Cocktail Party last term. It was a fun night – great food and good company,
lots of fabulous prizes were won and many of us took to the dance floor.
It was a wonderful way to celebrate the news that we are finally getting a school hall.
Please take note of the businesses listed in the newsletter who donated to our night. These businesses were very generous
with their donations. Please give them your support.

Years 7, 8 & 9 Dance



Friday 25th October
7pm - 10pm
Freshwater Surf Club
Open to St Pauls boys only, girls from Years 7 - 9 from any school.
Next on the P&F Agenda is the Dance for Years 7 - 9! See Flyer in newsletter!
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased from the school office at morning tea. Tickets can also be purchased from Stella
Maris College.
These dances have become very popular and tickets are limited. Get in early to ensure you get a ticket! If tickets sell out we
won’t have tickets available at the door.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - WE CAN’T RUN THESE DANCES WITHOUT YOUR HELP!
We need parents to help us on the night of the Dance. Parents are needed to help with collecting tickets, general security
and management of the kids as well as looking after the ‘cloak room’ where kids are able to leave their personal belongings.
If you can help on the night please contact Cathy Gardner by email: [email protected]
The more volunteers we get the ‘less time’ everyone will have to do.
___________________________________________
From 2014 we need someone or a group of friends to take over the organisation of the school dances.
If you have a son in Years 7, 8 or 9 you may be interested in organising the school dances. They don’t take a lot of
Organisation or time and the P&F Social Committee will co-ordinate and give assistance with the organisation.
A group of Year 9 parents have had the responsibility of organising the dances for the past three years. They have a very
clear and easy format for you to follow – it certainly isn’t a hard job.
If you would be interested in doing this or if you would like to know more about it contact me at [email protected]
or phone 0409 824 716.
Please think about this – we can’t run the dances without your help and the dances have become a wonderful social
occasion for the boys of St Pauls.
