I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday. It was wonderful to see the positive response by students to the various ANZAC Day marches in the Bega Valley Shire during the holidays. College Captain Meg Reckord gave a wonderful ANZAC Day remembrance speech at the Pambula march, and College ViceCaptain Kate Smith addressed the march in Merimbula. Wreaths were laid at Pambula, Merimbula, Eden, Candelo and Bega by Lumen Christi representatives. So a big thanks to all who attended. Our representation was the best for many years, even though ANZAC Day fell during the school holidays. In this Week’s Newsletter: South Coast Rally 2013 2013 College Open Day Term 2 Canteen Roster Uniforms for sale College Calendar X-Country House Champs The College remembered those who had represented Australia in the past, along with those who are presently involved in various conflicts around the world last Thursday with a special ceremony. The soldiers and their families were remembered in our prayers and musician Tom Burn played the last post. Staff members Scott Lipsham, Jacinta Battista and Eileen Reckord performed a song which reflected the hardships of the First World War in France. The students were very respectful and reflective towards this special remembrance ceremony. Thank you to Martin McGee for all the work that he put into organising our students, staff and wreaths for each of the ceremonies on ANZAC Day and our ceremony here at the College. I am pleased to see most students are wearing their winter uniform as is College policy from the beginning of Term 2. Some items of clothing have not been available from Coast Road Clothing during the holidays and I have asked staff here at the College to be mindful of this. I have been working closely with Coast Road Clothing and have been informed that all orders should be filled by the end of Week Two. The one exception is the College Blazer. These were ordered in early February by Coast Road Clothing with delivery from Fiji promised within eight weeks. For many reasons the supplier has not delivered. Please be patient with staff at Coast Road Clothing as they are doing all they can to get delivery of the blazer. Congratulations to Molly Campbell who, on Saturday 27 April at the National Convention Centre, won the National Final of the Lions' Youth of the Year Quest. She was both the overall winner and the public speaking winner. Also congratulations to Stephen Thresher who received Gold in the 50m fly and two silvers in the 50m and 100m free at the Combined Catholic Colleges Swimming Championships. We wish him well when he represents NSWCCC at the All Schools Swimming Championships. This week coincides with the official launch of our enrolment period for prospective students in 2013. Please contact Barb Gough on 6495 8813 for enrolment information, and let your friends and neighbours know that applications are now open for all classes from Kindergarten to Year 12. Due to the overwhelming interest in K-6 classes, the enrolment period for these classes will finish at the end of Week 3 Term 3. Class placements will then be offered in line with the Catholic Education Office policy. Open Day this year is Wednesday 22 May; please invite your family, friends and prospective parents to come and visit us between 9.00am and 4.30 pm for a tour given by our students and staff. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all mothers a Happy Mother‘s Day this Sunday. May you recognise God‘s blessings in your daily lives.

We were able to purchase maths and science equipment, art and craft materials, sporting equipment, literacy resources for reading and writing, puzzles, Lego kits, games and construction sets, music and aboriginal resources and more. Judging by the excitement and the look on our students faces (below) your donations of vouchers were very much appreciated! From Monday 8 April to Sunday 9 June 2013 Lumen Christi will be collecting Woolworths Earn & Learn Points. You can get one Woolworths Earn & Learn Point for every $10 spent (excluding liquor, tobacco and gift cards). Place the Woolworths Earn & Learn Points onto a Woolworths Earn & Learn Points Sheet and when it‘s complete, the Points Sheet can be dropped into the Collection Box here at the College or at your local store. At the end of the promotion, we‘ll be able to get some great new equipment. The range is extensive and offers lots of items ideal for our students. If you‘d like to know more visit woolworths.com.au/earnandlearn. Thank you for your support. LCCC Cross Country carves up the grass! Conforming to Lumen custom, the Cross-Country carnival commenced with the ‗war-cry‘ competition. However, this year defying tradition Baringa House executed a mantra that surprised the crowd by not finishing dead last. Bobberrer once again proved victorious with the war cry, supported by the antics of star rapper House Captain, Anna Cusack. Mad Martin McGee, again rallied his troops by conforming to his usual maniacal style. The course was a grueling 600 metre to 6 kilometre trek through the untamed wilderness of the Lumen surrounds. Competitors battled mosquito and leech infested scrub and swampland, demonstrating endurance and courage. A range of novelty activities managed by teachers and senior students entertained the littlies as well as the young at heart. But perhaps the main attraction was the super slippery slide where students braved the elements and demonstrated their finesse while DJ Fragnito set the pace. Energy was at an all-time high for this r e ma r k a b l e a n n u a l e ve n t. Winning House of the Day was: Monaroo! The Southern Region Cross Country trials for our Primary students will be held on Wednesday 8 May, at the Cobargo Sports Ground. Schools competing include St Bernard‘s Batemans Bay, St Mary‘s Moruya, St Patrick‘s Bega, St Patrick‘s Cooma, St Joseph‘s Bombala and Lumen Christi Catholic College. Our Primary College representatives are Anna Browne, Jemima Moodie, Patrick Ballantyne, Max Harmey, Peter Robertson, Gabriel Cross, Zac Lucas, Lily Harmey, Amelia Berry, Amy Wels, Blake Mylan, Barney Simpson, Zachary Fernandez, Travis Nemec, Abigail Jones, Aysha O‘Shea, Lillian Berry, Ebony Brown, Jonathan Stavrinidis, Keith Xiao, Mitchell Davy, Sebastian Roser, Hannah Walker, Emily Lucas, Claudia Bartlett, Sian Coombes, Brytan Aldridge. Primary students who are placed in the first six in each age event at Cobargo will qualify for the Archdiocesan trials on 22 May 2013 in Canberra. Secondary students who qualified at our College Cross Country will also be competing in Canberra on Wednesday 22 May. We wish all competitors the best of luck and know that they will be proud College representatives.

To begin, acknowledgement was given to the traditional indigenous custodians of the land. Next, Year 12 student Brittany Wallis presented a moving recital of renowned poem, ‗The Fallen‘ by Laurence Binyon. School Captain Meg Reckord gave her ANZAC day address in which she asked the crowd to consider the damaging, ongoing after-effects of war, especially those suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A rendition of ‗Christmas in the Trenches‘ was sung by a teacher trio and finally Year 7 student, Tom Burn performed The Last Post. „Lest We Forget‟ Year 7 student Tom Burn College Winter Uniform A reminder to parents and students that from the beginning of Term 2 students should be wearing their winter uniform. A full list of uniform requirements is available on the College website and your child‘s Communication Diary. The College has been advised by Coast Road clothing there will be some delays in supply of College winter uniform.
