done by buying a present, cooking him something or just chatting to
him about the footy. My dad was always proud of everything I did
even when I didn’t think it was a big deal and I never really
understood until I had my own son. My dad was always bias
towards me and he thought I was the best at everything and I
remember saying to myself that there is no way I would be that

Brothers will come from India to join Br Joseph in community

Since 2007 the Patrician Brothers, under the leadership of Br
Jerome Ellens, have moved into three new missions: Ghana,
South Sudan, and now U.A.E. Something amazing for such a
small Congregation, made possible largely through the
generosity and courage of the Indian Province which has
supplied, and will supply, the Brothers for all these missions -
Brother Ernest Gaudion will soon be arriving in Ghana to join

years, the Patrician move to the region has been comparatively

Dear parents and lovers of the arts,
As those who attended this year’s Creative Arts Night would
attest, the Arts are flourishing at Holy Cross College Ryde.
The Year Twelve Visual Arts students submitted their bodies of
work last Monday. While many of the works had been
completed weeks in advance, there was a collective sigh of
relief when the whistle blew. Although the students were acutely
aware of each other’s progress during the year, the Creative
Arts Night was for many, their first opportunity to critically
analyse the work of their peers. It was heartwarming to see
pats on backs and even hugs in response to the works. The
group has since labelled their work ready for marking. Knowing
how much effort was directed into the work we share high
expectations.
Here is a taste of some of the reasoning behind one of this
year’s finest works: “Days, Years, Lifetimes” (2012) by Jeremy
Pollicina.
“Days, Years, Lifetimes” is a

oil paints offer in terms of representing light.
The growth of the tree, the shifting light source and the changing
tides are notable indications that time is passing between each
frame. The observation of passing time is a central concern of the
work. Going by how the tree in the mid-ground grows, decades
have passed between the first and third frame. Furthermore, each
frame is distinct with the orientation of the sun (the light source),
suggesting a progression from dawn to midday to dusk. Each Star of the Week:
