News
St
Edmund's
College
Established 1892
A Catholic Boys’ School in the Edmund Rice Tradition
Dear Members of St Edmund’s Community,
Enrolment Interviews
On Thursday of this week, staff at the College conducted Round 2 interviews for Year 7 in 2018. Further interviews will
be conducted during the final week of this term.
It was great to meet so many parents and boys who already have a connection with the College. I was pleased to renew
some old acquaintances. Ten staff were involved in interviewing these boys and they spoke glowingly of the 2018
applicants.
Eddies’ Rookies
On Friday 10 June we will hold our third Rookies’ day for students enrolled in Year 7 for 2017. The afternoon is designed
to give the boys ‘a taste’ of life at the College. Over the years, I have seen an increase in boys suffering from anxiety. This
programme does much to alleviate this anxiety and allows our families to connect with the College prior to beginning
Year 7.
External Assessment
St Edmund’s College students in Year 11 have been involved in trialling external assessment tasks in Mathematics B and
English in recent days. Feedback has been very positive, with the students commenting positively on the task. I thank
Ms Henness and Mr Reeves for facilitating these tests.
Choir Competition
Today we conducted our annual Inter-House Choir Competition. This event began in 1995 when Brother Ted Magee
was Principal. My information is that initially the students and staff were not very enthusiastic about this competition.
However this event has grown to be a highlight of the year for many boys, parents and staff. I thank our House Deans and
Music staff for facilitating such an enjoyable event. I also especially thank our adjudicator, Mr Tom Keenan.
Business Improvement Australia (BIA)
Staff from BIA have concluded their interviews with all our Year 10 and a group of our Year 12 students. BIA have greatly
assisted our boys in identifying their strengths academically. A full report will be made available to parents in the coming
weeks. This report identifies potential career paths for the students and will help with Senior Education and Training
(SET) planning later in the year.
A final thought
“I have three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are the greatest treasures.” (Lao Tzu)

Mission and Community
Mary’s Magnificat or Song
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
And my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;
Because he has looked upon his lowly handmaid.
Yes, from this day forward all generations will call me blessed
For the Almighty has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
And his mercy reaches from age to age
For those who fear him.
He has shown the power of his arm.
He has routed the proud of heart.
He has pulled down princes from their thrones
And raised up the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things
And the rich sent empty away.
As part of these visits, we have been calling for donations
from our community. Morgan House has collected a
large amount of stationery and on Monday at House
Assembly, House Captain Blair Cutts presented Immersion
participants, Sam Reid and Jarryd Vogler, with these
donations. A big thank you to Morgan House staff, students
and parents for your generosity.
St Edmund’s will commission and farewell the group going
to Samoa on Friday 10 June on our College Assembly.
Parents are welcome to attend.
World’s Biggest Morning Tea
He has come to the help of Israel, his servant,
Mindful of his faithful love
- According to the promise he made to our ancestors –
And of his mercy to Abraham
And to his descendants for ever.
Last week I mentioned that some of our Junior House
Leaders assisted at the Ipswich Showgrounds World’s
Biggest Morning Tea. The students were praised for their
work ethic and helped to serve 150 guests. These efforts
raised $4,200 on the morning for the Cancer Council.
Thanks to Ms Grieve for her efforts in organising and
taking the students.
Have a safe week.
Luke 1:46-55
Samoan Immersion and Morgan House

Career News
BIA Reports
Reports have been emailed to parent and Year Ten student
addresses this week. Please take the opportunity to talk as a family
about the future career interests outlined here. This document
is the starting point for discussions about what subjects are
most appropriate in the Senior school and will provide valuable
information leading into the Subject Selection Expo in July and

Career Research for Year 10, 11 and 12 Students
This is the title of Graduate Opportunities.com 2016 ebook. While
its intended audience is university students, it has lots of useful
information for students in Years 11 and 12 who are exploring
their future options. This information includes:
• Grad Stats – these show the destination of 2015 degree
graduates (under 25 years of age), based on their field of
study, four months after they have completed their course. It
also shows the starting salaries for these graduates.
• Profiles of graduates who are now employed
• Job search skills – including resumes, interviews, networking
• Industry snapshots – covers more than 25 different industries,
providing information about the jobs within the industry,
earnings and future employment opportunities, etc.
You can download the Go get your dream career ebook at http://
www.graduateopportunities.com/free-downloads/ebooks/
Also on this webpage are specific ebooks for many Australian
universities.
EMPLOYMENT
Australian Jobs 2016
Want to know the employment trends for jobs you are interested
in? The Australian Jobs 2016 booklet provides information about
employment trends by location, age, industry and occupation. It
will help you understand where the jobs are and what employers
look for when recruiting. It highlights the changes in the
Australian labour market, noting that large numbers of new jobs
are expected to be created over the next five years. It also provides
a guide to where these jobs are likely to be. Download the booklet
at https://docs.employment.gov.au/documents/australian-jobs2015-publication (click on the PDF file).
The hidden jobs market
The following points are adapted from ‘Where are all the jobs? The
hidden jobs market’ written by Marni Williams. The full article
can be accessed from the Career FAQs website at http://www.
careerfaqs.com.au/news/news-and-views/where-are-all-thejobs-the-hidden-jobs-market-revealed/
• The hidden jobs market consists of jobs that are available but
aren’t advertised.
• It is estimated to be from 50 - 80 per cent of the entire jobs
market.
• To access the hidden jobs market you need to network.
• Networking is not just about meeting lots of people. Effective
networking means being focused by first deciding what sort
of work you want.
• Then you need to identify employers who offer that sort of
work. A helpful website that lists large employers in Australia
is Job Adviser at http://www.jobadvisor.com.au/ Your social
network (family, friends, friends’ parents, neighbours, etc.)
can also help you identify employers.
• Put dollars at the bottom of your priority list, particularly
when you’re starting out.
• You may not get your ideal job first up. It is more important
to find an employer and job that gives you a pathway you
want to take.
• Approach employers who look promising. There’s a fine line
between being persistent and being annoying, so always be
very conscious and respectful of people’s time.
http://sec.qld.edu.au
•
If you say you want to work for an organisation, have a clear
set of reasons why – saying, ‘because you look like a cool
company’ isn’t a very strong reason. Instead think about
their values as a business, the market they operate in, their
reputation, how they fit in with your own vision.
TERTIARY INFORMATION
Bonded Medical Places (BMP) Scheme
The BMP Scheme is an Australian Government initiative to
provide more doctors to locations (called Eligible Locations)
that are considered by the Department of Health to be in need
of qualified medical practitioners. The BMP Scheme provides
funding for additional Commonwealth supported medical school
places at Australian medical schools. From 2016, 28.5 % of all
first-year Commonwealth Supported Places in Australian medical
schools are expected to be bonded through this scheme. In return,
after completing their medical course, participants agree to work
in an Eligible Location in Australia for a total of 12 months (called
Return of Service Period). The Return of Service Period can take
place from the time they become provisionally registered, to five
years after they attain fellowship (complete a specialty).
The application and selection process for the scheme is the
responsibility of the universities and usually takes place after an
application to study medicine has been lodged. In the case of the
University of Queensland, Year 12 students can apply for a Bonded
Medical Place when they apply for the Doctor of Medicine (MD)
Provisional Entry for School-Leavers (Bonded Medical Places)
through QTAC. An information booklet about the BMP Scheme

Last week we welcomed Villanova to St Edmund’s with
some very good results. The Open team played a closely
fought match, which ended with a marginal loss, however
congratulations to Cody Fordham who continued his
winning streak with another two wins. Senior A and Senior
B played very well, both winning their matches – Senior B
had an extremely convincing win of 13 – 3. Well done to
Luke Goldspring, Oisin Hayes and Reece Smith for their
double wins, and to Leo Anthony who was undefeated on
the day.
After a few busy weeks for the Music Department it is
now time to turn our focus to our Combined Colleges’
production of The Wiz. This musical is a modern
interpretation of the family classic The Wizard of Oz.
With a number of catchy tunes like Ease on Down
the Road and Brand New Day, this show will be great
entertainment for the whole family. The College Musical
will run from July 14 to 16 with tickets going on sale in
the near future. Stay tuned for more information!
Assembly Performance
Staff and students were given another example of the
wonderful talent we have at the College on last Friday’s
Assembly with Lorenzo Setu performing an original
composition entitled ‘Tell Me’. Lorenzo showed how
much passion he has for performing. It is always a
tough task to perform an original composition to
an audience, but Lorenzo did a great job. Well done
Lorenzo!
Instrumental Lessons

DEBATING 2016
Term 2, 25 May
Year 11.1 Vs Mary Mackillop College
The opposing school forfeited this debate.
Senior B Team (clockwise): Michael Pashley, Reece Smith,
Oisin Hayes and Leo Anthony
Year 11.2 Win Vs Padua College
Once again Intermediate B smashed the opposition - a
Villanova team who had been previously undefeated until
this round and sharing the top spot on the leader board
– with a second 14 – 2 win in a row. Congratulations to
Lachlan Wesener, Mitchell Vesper (who remains undefeated
after five rounds) and Daniel Fordham for winning both
their matches.
Thank you again to all players for your increased effort this
year. Our results this season have shown that improved
attendance and practice really do pay off.
For the final debate of the season our team debated
the affirmative case for “Children who are not fully
vaccinated should be banned from government schools”.
To support the argument the team of Caleb Donald,
Justin Smith and Michael Pashley presented convincing
arguments around the disruption to education of
children who have not been vaccinated and how this,
in the long term, does not benefit the individual or
society. Michael Habkouk–Davis did a great job as
Chairperson for the night’s debate.
Looking forward to the final two rounds against St
Laurence’s (away) and St Patrick’s (home).
The students are to be congratulated on the professional
way they conducted themselves throughout the season,
and in particular for the way they embraced learning
the skill of debating for the first time. Well done
gentlemen.

AIC Sport - Term 2, 2016
AIC FOOTBALL Round 5 vs
Villanova College, 28 May 2016
1sts – Win 1 – 0 A hard game played in
difficult conditions against a defensively
sound and direct playing Villanova was
a massive check of resolve and mental
toughness for us. As the game settled, we
began to take control. With exceptional
movement and passing in the final third,
we began to create inroads through the
opposition defence, which eventually
resulted in Conor Doyle finding the back of
the net. A few good chances went begging
from our players and a scare or two down
at the other end finished the half. The
second half began similarly to how the first
ended, with us creating many more good
clear-cut chances to extend the lead and
kill off the game. However, these were
disappointingly spurned, creating an air of
optimism for Villa and a nervy finish for us
while the game stood at 1-0. A good win in
which the scoreline failed to reflect a clean
sheet and many positives to evaluate on
heading into this weekend’s must win-final
home game for season 2016.
2nds – Win 2 – 0 A composed performance
in
challenging
circumstances.
We
managed to come away with a victory
despite playing in an unattractive style.
Noa Peronchik, Hayden Yarrow and
Lachlan Mortell played with great intensity.
3rds – Win 3 – 0 We dominated this
game. Thomas Picton worked hard at
the back. Liam Kelk was tireless, tackling
well and distributing effectively. Ezekiel
Kanku scored two good goals while Kieran
McDonagh did his usual wonder strike.
Joshua McIntyre used his considerable
speed to good effect. Trent Hoare did not
have much to do alooked composed.
4ths – Loss 0 – 1 After trailing 0 – 1 the
team fought back strongly in the second
half, although were unlucky. A missed
penalty and the ball hitting the crossbar
prevented us from scoring. Joshua Wendt,
Thomas Webster and Daniel Warner
played well in defence.
5ths – Loss 1 – 2 The Fifths are
improving every week. The team work
and coordination of play were exceptional.
Villanova scored an early goal early,
although we turned the game around.
Daniel Mansell, Brody Mills and Jayden
Robertson worked well in the middle. The
defence was tight and the quick feet of
Daniel Fisher kept Villanova from scoring
for the majority of the game. Max Roche
had an early shot on goal from out wide,
hitting the post. In the second half Max
built on this momentum to score a stunning
goal. Unfortunately the opposition scored
in the dying minutes of the game.
10A – Win 4 – 1 A comfortable victory after
resisting early pressure. Billy Sheppard
and Thomas Brennan were solid in
defence. Well-taken goals by Mitchell
Burkin, Ronald Kamba Batal and Dylan Vit
sealed the victory.
10B – Win 1 – 0 A hard fought game
against a previously undefeated Villanova.
Dylan Smith scored from a good ball over
the top from Matthew Smailes. Zane Pike
played consistently out wide.
10C – Loss 0 – 1 A slow start let us
down when we conceded an early goal,
however a determined second half saw
the team push for an equaliser. A strong
performance in goal from Oliver Klose
and Jude Kiely in the second half kept
them within striking distance but we were
unable to take our chances.
9A – Loss 1 – 4 A lethargic performance
where we were never out of second
gear. Small glimpses of quality were
unfortunately fleeting. Nicholas Rumpf and
Oliver Schmidt showed good character
late in the game.
9B – Draw 2 – 2 A solid performance
from a determined team. We were under
pressure for the majority of the game
although strong defence kept us in the
match. We are still undefeated with two
games to go, therefore a strong turn-out at
training is needed if we want to continue
our run.
9C – Win 3 – 0 Great win from the
players, who were 3-nil in the first half
and dug deep for the rest of the game. A
great defensive game from Flynn MorrisShute and great goals from Jude Thomas,
Christian Thomas and Bailey Hansen.
8A – Loss 0 – 3 A game of two halves,
where we gave Villa a three goal head
start inside the first 15 minutes. We
had to chase the game then and it was
always going to be tough against a very
well-drilled opponent. We worked hard
to make amends and this work rate was
outstanding in the second half where our
defence was excellent. This continued
effort created some of our own attacking
chances where we could have snatched a
goal. Oliver Wilds was outstanding at the
back, with Cooper Vandermaat and Adam
Lake also having strong performances.
8B – Loss 0 - 2 The result was probably
an accurate reflection of how the game
was played. All players put in a good effort,
although a few had to play out of their
normal position which threw a spanner into
the works. Tom McIntyre had a fantastic
game, Lachlan Wesener did well in filling
in an unusual position and Thomas Codd
was superb in goals.
8C – Loss 0 – 8 Another tough game
for the team, with everyone playing their
hearts out right till the end. Great effort
in goals by Jake Hoare who made some
good saves. Jack Wojcicki and Lachlan
Straughair also had good games. The
whole team should be proud of their
never-say-die attitudes!
7A – Loss 0 – 3 A tough day at the office
against a very strong opposition. We did
not see much of the ball which lead to
minimal scoring opportunities for us. A few
lapses in defence allowed Villa to pounce
and score some classy goals. Great
game from Ekachai Adams who worked
tirelessly all game.
7B – Loss 0 - 3 Our team worked well
against a strong Villa team although
missing some vital combinations in our
defence was always going to be tough.
Matthew Brown, Connor Kennedy and
Isaac Kelly were excellent!
7C – Loss 0 - 4 A slow first half, where
we could not seem to get out of our
own half; however the players lifted for
a commendable second half. William
Chawner, Connor Sheldrake and Jack
Murray had fantastic work rates for the
entire game.
7D vs 7 Gold – Win 2 – 0 A great game by
all, played in windy conditions. Both teams
missed some early opportunities, although
Sam Lovey was superb in goals, saving
a penalty, along with other great reflex
saves. Tristan Johnstone scored a quality
fast-break goal with some good lead-up
work from our midfield. Our second half
went to another level with William Gordon,
Jasper Wright and Akim Deng giving our
forwards several scoring opportunities.

SEC SWIMMING
St Edmund’s Year 7 students enrolled for 2017
are invited to attend FREE training sessions at
St Edmund’s College in Terms 3 and 4.
Term 3 Training Sessions
for Year 7, 2017 boys
from Monday 18 July 2016
in our heated pool
Mr Stephen Critoph, our Head Swim Coach, will conduct
swim trials when your son first arrives, to determine which
squad he will be in. Training days/times will then be worked
out to suit his and your needs. These sessions are for any
enrolled Year 7 St Edmund’s student in 2017. Simply contact
Stephen to organise a trial (see below). These will usually be
held either from 6.00 to 7.00am of a morning or sometime
between 3.00 to 5.30pm of an afternoon. From this trial,
training times will be organised.
Joining the swim team early allows students to make new
friends and feel more at home, and part of the College before
they officially start secondary school in late January 2017. All
swimmers are encouraged to attend as many training sessions
as possible. There are TEN available slots each week so it would
be good to see our swimmers in the pool regularly at least two
to four times per week. We cater for swimmers of all ability.
The swim coaches, led by Mr Critoph, will communicate with
the swimmers if training times change.
Our first 2017 College Swim Carnival takes place on the
first Friday night in Week 1, Term 1, and all swimmers are
expected to attend. (There are four of these Friday night
carnivals at the most.). Our swim season is all geared to the
Associated Independent Colleges (AIC) Carnival in early
March at Chandler Pool.
For these new Year 7 swimming times/trials in Term 3, 2016,
please contact Head Swim Coach, Mr Stephen Critoph on
0408 100 870 or [email protected]

AIC RUGBY Round 5 vs Villanova
College, 28 May 2016
1sts – Loss 10 - 37 We put ourselves
in a great position following a promising
start and taking an early lead through
an excellent off phase play. However we
switched off after this and reverted to our
old ways. Too many missed tackles and a
lack of momentum delivered us another
defeat. On a positive note we scored
three tries and we look to create more
scoring opportunities this week against St
Laurence’s.
2nds – Loss 7 – 43 After a slow start in
both attack and defence, we went into
the first half down 31-7. Too many silly
handling errors in attack proved costly,
as did a lack of maintaining an up-andslide movement in defence. This was
compounded by the fact that too many
players are still hesitating around the
breakdown rather than engaging in low
intensive driving. However, the second
half saw a much more aggressive display,
and with this, a more unified team effort.
We need to work on playing for the full 60
minutes. Special mention must be made
to Captain Johnathon Taylor, who never
gave up in attack or defence, as well as
Zane Mobsby; particularly for his moralelifting tackles.
16A – Loss 0 - 29 A disappointing effort.
Villanova capitalised on our errors, and
there were too many of them. Zachary
Dunning was everywhere and Matthew
Errington played a solid game.
16B – Loss 7 - 41 Poor defence and
missed tackles saw the team concede five
tries in the first half. A change in attitude
and improved tackling in the second half
gave the team a minor win: scoring a
converted try at the end. Jordyn Reilly and
Samuel Litzow were best on the field.
15A – Win 35 – 12 The players finally
achieved their first win since commencing
St Edmund’s College
at the College in 2014. They played a great
up-tempo game which had the Villanova
players on the back foot for much of the
entire game. Strong running from Dominic
Luafalealo kept us on the front foot, while
some darting runs from Frazier Ginn kept
the defence guessing. Romeo Tanielu is
the first player to bag a hat trick of tries
in one game. Other good performances
came from Jack Martin, Nathan Martin,
Nicholas Weston, Samuel Hockings and
Kalil Vaele. Thank you also to the five
reserves.
15B – No Game
9A – Loss 7 – 52 Another tough game
for the team where the score was not an
accurate reflection of the commitment,
effort and heart shown by the majority
of players. Unfortunately several simple
one-on-one defensive errors led to
multiple Villanova tries. Each week we
are improving and this week saw Hunter
Pearce score our first try for the season.
Commendable games as well from
Lachlan Stacey, Wyatt Martin, Logan
Spark and Connor McGee.
8A – Loss 21 – 31 We were beaten by
the better team although Villanova were
made to look better through our mistakes.
Lapses in concentration on defence gifted
the opposition points. Liam Kember played
well through the forwards and Dylan
McAteer controlled play ably.
8B – Win 45 – 0 A comprehensive
victory against a lethargic opposition. We
commanded a majority of the possession
and used the ball well. Ronin Brooks and
Ethan Moore were electric in attack.
8C – Loss 12 – 32 Another week which
yielded improvements in all areas of the
game. Dylan Satherley-Fuller, Thomas
McCarroll and Lincoln Giarratano were our
best players.
7A – Loss 0 – 36 Slow first half starts are
hurting the team. On Saturday, the team’s
first five possessions were turned over

before the second phase began. Villanova
capitalised on this and posted four tries in
the first stanza to lead 24-0 at the break.
A magic wand was waved at half time; a
more determined side took the field. So
dogged was the team’s effort that we drew
a number of penalties whilst defending,
limiting our very structured opponents to
just two second half tries. To boot, all this
was achieved with just fourteen players
on the field. Villanova’s defence was as
effective as its attack and restricted us
to just two and three passes off the ruck.
Notable performances included Caleb
McDonald, Nathan Cox and William
Murphy.
7B – Loss 0 – 55 Another week with
evident improvement from the team as
a whole. A number of injuries left us
outnumbered.
7C – Loss 0 – 41 Faith in junior sport was
restored when the Villanova 7C coach
ensured that the competition between
the two teams was fair. During the warmup, he recognised that we were short of
numbers and so ‘lent’ two Villa players to
us to ensure a fourteen-a-side contest.
We defended well to restrict the opposition
to just two first half tries. This pattern
continued in the second before the flood
gates opened in the final ten minutes of the
game. Despite the score line, the defensive
improvement in players, including Jordan
Strybos and Jacob Cleeland, was very
pleasing. It must also be noted that some
Year 7 students, namely Bailey Lyon and
Kylan Rickards, embraced the notion of
the Eddies Spirit and played two games
for the College to ensure full squads.
