PENSHURST Friday 11 May - Number 6
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Our Year 12 students have been attending Retreat at the Marist Brothers’ retreat centre in Mittagong. It aims to reinforce
a positive self-image, to reflect on significant relationships and life experiences, and to explore the presence of God in
one’s life. The Retreat is also a perfect opportunity for students to build friendship bonds and remove themselves from
the fast paced world before the Higher School Certificate examinations later this year. The program consists of large
group input, small group discussions and personal reflection time. Liturgies also provide valuable prayer experiences.
The Year 12 Retreat is invaluable in assisting participants to reflect on deeper issues at this important point in their
lives.
The College has been informed that parents/carers whose daughter/son who will be away from school for less than
ten days on leave no longer need to submit an Application for Extended Leave. The parent/carer would contact the
College, prior to the absence, to inform the school of the upcoming leave. There is still an expectation that their son/
daughter will:
• attempt to keep up with her/his studies via the google classroom
• submit hand-in assessment tasks due during the leave period by the due date
• complete any missed in-class assessment tasks, where possible, on return to school and submit
a Missed Assessment Form for consideration.
For leave requests of ten days or more, our current procedures will continue to operate.
Mr Ray Martin - Principal
OUR LEARNING JOURNEY AT MCCP
The success of any high school
rests on quality teaching and
student engagement in each
classroom in each day. The
core business of teaching and
learning is to ensure that the
young men and women in
our care are able to perform
and be challenged at all times
in their learning. Students
at MCCP demonstrate their
learning in their everyday classrooms and through formal assessment. Students can seek further assistance and
clarification by working with their class teacher, attending the Homework Club, or participating in workshop intervention
programs. The staff at MCCP continually reflect and improve on their teaching and seek out opportunities to further
professionally develop.
Throughout Term 2 staff will be engaging in many professional
development opportunities to further enrich and inspire their craft.
On Monday 30th April all staff participated in a Staff Development
Day with a focus on ‘Quality Assessment’. The day was based around
the research of many past and current educational academics, in
particular the work of psychologist Lev Vygotsky who believes the
role of the teacher is crucial to student performance. Teachers who
know their learners are able to create quality learning opportunities
for a range of students meaning; students who struggle are provided
with a range of supports and students who have a high level of
competence are further extended. Vygotsky suggests good teaching
can place a student in the ‘zone of proximal development’ ensuring
that they are achieving and are challenged to their ability. On the
day staff discussed; what makes a quality formative and summative
assessment, how to ensure validity and reliability in assessment and had the opportunity to develop layered assessment
tasks in their Key Learning Areas.
Throughout the term staff will also be provided with professional development workshops to reinforce 21st century
learning practice including; engaging students through flexible learning, making learning visible in the classroom,
managing challenging behaviour and extending our gifted and talented students. With the nature of education
constantly changing over time even the most experienced teachers enjoy trying new things and time to reflect on and
consolidate their own pedagogy.

OUR LEARNING JOURNEY AT MCCP
It was wonderful to see already this term so many students working
in the library during our Homework Club after school. Term 2 sees the
implementation of our Australian Catholic University partnership with
talented and dedicated teaching graduates assisting and getting involved in
supporting the learning of MCCP students. Each afternoon the Homework
Club runs workshops which are provided for students wishing to consolidate
their literacy and numeracy skills both in the junior and senior school.
Students are provided with detailed personalised feedback on work
submitted so they can identify areas of concern, students then receive
explicit instruction to improve and develop their skills.
Each term parents will have the opportunity to enroll their son/daughter
into Homework Club workshops, the workshops are advertised through the
College newsletter with instructions on how to enroll.
All students are welcome to attend the Homework Club to complete
homework, seek clarification on classwork, and get assistance with
assessment tasks.
Our Homework Club runs: Monday 3-4pm Tuesday 3-4pm
Wednesday 3-5pm
Both staff and students acknowledge they are on a continuous
learning journey. Students are constantly challenged to think critically
by thinking broadly and deeply by asking questions and by bringing
instilled reason and logic to solve problems. Students are called to be
creative by devising new ways of doing things and bringing a variety of
perspectives into their work.
Our passionate and dedicated teachers promote this critical and creative thinking by using a tapestry of traditionalist
methodologies and new innovative learning design to bring a high quality of teaching and learning into their everyday
classroom.

FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
Welcome to term 2! I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break. One of the great joys of the holiday
period is the opportunity to enjoy extended conversations with family and friends. So often our busy working week
doesn’t allow this to occur as we need to adhere to tight schedules.
As we start a new term, I encourage families to structure home arrangements so that rich conversations can occur
regularly. Dinner time together as a family is often a great opportunity to have a conversation with your child about
their day, share stories and perhaps discuss current affairs. It is rewarding to see a child’s face light up as they share a
conversation. They feel valued and appreciated. They gain confidence in developing and articulating their thoughts and
opinions on various matters and they expand their vocabulary. They learn so much and relationships are strengthened
so that when troubles arise your child will feel comfortable discussing their feelings with you.
Sadly, starting a conversation with a teenager can at times be difficult. It doesn’t matter what topic the conversation
starts with - it’s about the opportunity it gives you to talk with your child about their feelings and to provide comfort
when needed.
Here are some conversation starters that you might find useful:
What’s your favourite thing about school and why?
What was the best and worst part of your day?
If you could start today again, what would you do differently?
What did you do today that you are most proud of?
You’re the leading expert when it comes to your child. If you are concerned about anything that has come up in a
conversation, try your best to tell them how you see things, be clear about the actions you are going to take and, of
course, do what parents do best - provide love, comfort and reassurance. Should there be any school concerns that are
impacting on your child’s wellbeing please make contact with the relevant teacher(s) and/or their Leader of Wellbeing
so that we can work together to help your child.
HSC MINIMUM STANDARDS
In 2016, the NSW Education Minister, Mr Adrian Piccoli, announced that from 2020, students would be required to
demonstrate their attainment of minimum standards in Literacy and Numeracy in order to be eligible to receive their
Higher School Certificate. The most contentious aspect of this new requirement was the link to NAPLAN - students
would be able to demonstrate their achievement by reaching Band 8 in Year 9 NAPLAN tests in Reading, Writing and
Numeracy as a ‘prequalification’ for the HSC. Those who did not reach this would be able to do separate Reading,
Writing and Numeracy tests during Year 10, 11 and 12 to show they had reached the National Minimum Standards in
Literacy and Numeracy before their HSC examinations.
Earlier this year the NSW Education Minister, Mr Rob Stokes, announced that these requirements would be simplified
and Year 9 NAPLAN will no longer be used as a pre-qualification for the HSC. NAPLAN will now revert back to its
original diagnostic purpose.

FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Continued
Year 10 (2019)
All Year 10 students from 2019 onwards will sit HSC Minimum Standards online tests in Literacy and Numeracy. This
minimum standard is Level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework. It is not Band 8 NAPLAN. Students who do not
reach the required standard at this time will be given further opportunities (twice a year in Year 10, 11 and 12) to take
the Literacy and Numeracy tests until they reach the set standard. Once the student has met the minimum standard in
a particular domain, they will no longer need to sit subsequent tests. Please note, that students who do not reach the
required standard in Reading, Writing or Numeracy by the time they complete Year 12 will still be able to receive an
ATAR and a Record of School Achievement (RoSA), but they will not receive a HSC qualification.
Year 10 (2018)
Current students in Year 10 who did not reach Band 8 in Year 9 NAPLAN Reading, Writing or Numeracy domains last
year will need to complete the corresponding Minimum Standards online test. The College has organised for the first
series of online tests to take place on the 12th - 14th June. If this applies to your child you will receive a letter in the
upcoming weeks with further information.
Whatever changes to government policy, we will continue our school-based initiatives in the areas of Literacy and
Numeracy. At Marist Catholic College Penshurst students are supported in these important areas through:
● Whole day writing/reading workshops for students in Year 7, 8 and 9.
● NAPLAN trial testing for students in Year 7 & 9 at the end of Term 1. Students are provided with
individualised feedback on their writing responses to help them improve further.
● Staff professional learning through participation in Sydney Catholic Schools Literacy the Next Step.
PDHPE are currently involved in 2018.
● Voluntary staff participation (approximately 35 staff) in our internal Literacy Project. This project has a
specific focus on improving student writing and embedding evidence-based writing strategies into
programs.
● Homework Club support programs; Reading for Meaning, NAPLAN preparation and Senior Writing for
the HSC.
● Ongoing analysis of NAPLAN results and tracking of student achievement in literacy and numeracy to
inform learning directions and interventions.
● Continued high quality teaching of these important skills across the curriculum and specifically within
English and Mathematics classes.
Should you have any concerns please feel free to contact Ms Rebecca Nolan our Literacy Teacher or Mr Michael Dooner
our Director of Curriculum.

MARIST CONNECT
At the end of last term four of Year
11 students represented MCCP at the
regional Marist Connect at Marist
College Kogarah. Marist Connect
is a forum of young people that
aims to connect students from the
various Marist schools across NSW.
This connect saw students from
Penshurst, Kogarah, Pagewood and
Randwick come together and share in
some fun and games as well as some
spiritual reflection and celebration of
our shared Marist charism.
I would like to thank Aaron Borg, Ross Green, Travis Giannarkis and Mark Czajka for giving up their afternoon to
represent our College at this important gathering.
Mr Jon Cullerton

FATHER CHRIS INSTALLATION
On Sunday 22nd April, St Declan’s Parish Penshurst celebrated
the installation of Fr Chris Ryan as Parish Priest. Bishop Terry
Brady celebrated the mass with Fr Chris, and assistant priests
Fr Adam and Fr Isuru. Following the mass, a multicultural lunch
and BBQ was celebrated for the parishioners. A number of Marist
students volunteered their time on the day to assist with the
organisation and serving the lunch. Year 11 students Roko Babaic,
Edward El-Jalkh and Joshua Kardum, along with Year 10 students
Zale Briscoe-Hough, Sabina De Leon, Damian Scalone and Katie
Schwarzel cooked the BBQ from 10am and served the hungry
parishioners well into the afternoon. Abbie Hayes of Year 10 also
assisted on the day as photographer for the event. Our students
represented the College impeccably, and their service was invaluable to the efficiency of the day, with many parishioners
remarking on the well-mannered and considerate way the students conducted themselves and served others. A special
thank you to Mrs Brigid Surmon, who helped with the BBQ, and Mrs Silvana Vidaic, who had a significant role in the
mass. It was truly a wonderful community event and a testament to the strong relationship between Marist Catholic
College and St Declan’s Parish.
Miss Analise Emmerick
Religious Education Teacher
ANZAC DAY COMMEMORATION SERVICE
On Sunday 22nd April, Penshurst RSL held an
Anzac Commemorative March and Service at
the War Memorial Bridge Street Penshurst.
It was a moving ceremony which included a
catafalque party from the RAAF Richmond,
a memorial guard, hymns, prayers, a short
address, the Last Post and the Reveille. Four of
our SRC attended this service and laid a wreath
at the War Memorial: Sabina De Leon, Damian
Scalone, Zac Pitkethley and Nick Condylios.
Other Marist students attended, representing
their various local sporting clubs. On a beautiful
sunny April afternoon, it was heartening to
witness so many of our community taking the
time to commemorate our war veterans and
those who sacrificed so much.

INFORMATION PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGY
YEAR 11
In Term 1 this year, Year 11 Students were involved in a case study of Coles. This involved a
tour of the Hurstville Station Facilities which provided an insight into the automated aspects
of store management. Students needed to analyse the role of technology in the running of
the store from delivery to purchasing. New technologies were introduced and students had
a chance to explore the predictive features using the hand held scanning device used by
store hands. Following the tour, students held a video conference with Phil Hawkings, CEO
of Coles Rewards (Flybuys) to gain an appreciation for the way spending habits influence
marketing strategies and points accumulation. Students engaged in a Q
& A session with Phil asking questions ranging from careers to algorithms
for calculating and redeeming points.
YEAR 12
As part of their studies in Communications Systems, Year 12 were enlightened
by a visit from Mrs Mariam Chizari, NBN Local Manager, NSW. Mariam
is actively involved in presenting NBN (National Broadband Network)
Solutions to Local, State and Federal Governments. Mariam took the
students on a historical journey through the evolution of national network
infrastructures before delving into the technology behind the recent
NBN rollout. The students explored new communications technologies
comparing optic fibre to copper cables as a means for transmitting online
data. Students documented their newfound knowledge in preparation for
their imminent Half Yearly Examination.
Mrs Rosemary Rizk - Information Processes & Technology Teacher
LEGAL STUDIES
On Tuesday 8 May, the Year 11 Legal Studies class
visited the Downing Centre in Liverpool St, Sydney.
This was a valuable opportunity for the boys to
experience what they had learnt about the operation
of the adversary system of trial in practice, such as
the role of various legal personnel, juries and the use
of evidence. They were able to sit in on a variety of
court cases involving matters such as traffic offences,
drug offences and armed robbery.
The behaviour of the boys and their personal
presentation was outstanding and a credit to the
College.
Miss Lydia Curis
COLLEGE LEADERS
In Term 1, Jack Rigby and Zachary Pitkethley were privileged to travel to
NSW Parliament House and Government House in Sydney, to take part in
a government initiative for senior school leaders. Our day commenced at
Parliament House, where we watched the Sitting of the NSW Legislative
Assembly and Legislative Council and were exposed to the entertaining
and interesting politics of NSW. During our visit to the House, we met and
had a photograph with Ms Tanya Davies, the Minister for Mental Health,
Women and Ageing. We then had lunch and walked to Government
House, where we were fortunate to meet His Excellency, Governor of
NSW Mr David Hurley. The day was a great experience which provided an
interesting insight into the world of politics in NSW.

YEAR 10 VISUAL ART NEWS
Year 10 Visual Arts students had an invigorating and
productive end of Term 1. They set up an exhibition
throughout the school of their artworks from the ‘Take
it to the Streets’ unit, followed the next week by a visit
to the Art Gallery of NSW and Museum of Contemporary
Art.
As part of the assessment task, students explored a
social or political issue facing the young people of the
world today. Using inspiration from mural artist Diego
Rivera and Street artists such as Banksy, the importance
of their concept laid heavily on the site-specific location
around the school in which they chose to display their
works. The role of the audience was a significant factor
in their artworks. In many contemporary works today,
the artwork requires the audience’s interaction to create
the work itself. Student Mia Sunk really took this idea
into her own art practice where she painted and spray
painted a large chalkboard with the statement; “Before social media consumes me, I want to…..” As students walked
past they used colour chalk to add their own personal response and thus being a part of the work itself.
The soft textural sculpture by Eva Huang, inspired by Claes Oldenburg, allowed the audience to lay back on a bean bag
and immerse themselves through sensory means, as well as visual, exploring the idea of depression and mental illness.
The Art excursion of Week 11 was an inspiring day for the students. They
viewed the works of the highest calibre of HSC students of 2017. The
expectations of senior art students will assist our art students for their
own future art making. This was followed by the Biennale, in which the
students gained a great insight into the works of contemporary artists and
what drives them to create subjective and inspirational artworks.
The Year 10 class have gained a greater understanding of the broad nature
of art and the how one’s intentions can be expressed and reached to many.
The value of exhibiting an artwork and by viewing how other artists have
achieved success is vital for these young artists in the making.
Mrs Lea-Kathryn Nelson
On the 12th of April, our Year 10 Art class had the opportunity to visit and
explore Artexpress at the Art Gallery of NSW and also the Biennale at the
Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). At Artexpress, we were able to view
the 2017 HSC works which inspired us to broaden our perception of what
art is to us and to others around us. There were many different mediums
such as watercolour, graphic media and even jewellery!
After this, we had a guided tour around the Museum of
Contemporary Art. This was a great experience as we
were able to see how professional artmakers exhibit
and create their works in gallery space. During the tour
the guide challenged us to think more critically about
their works and unveil the thoughts and ideas the work
was representing.
Jonathan Remfrey, Riana Hing & Eva Gao
The art installation exhibition set up by the Year 10 art
class was a huge success and was a great opportunity
for us to show the rest of the school our creativity and
what we can really achieve in art. The rest of the school
showed great interest in the presentation, crowding
around each work for their inspection or interaction. It was great to see the rest of the school becoming aware of the
important messages behind our works like depression, abuse of power, the overuse of technology, anxiety and stress
of youth etc.

ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB
It has been a successful start to the semester with so many students showing and
developing their creative minds in the Art Department on Wednesday afternoons.
During Art Club, students are given the opportunity to create artworks with concepts
that they are interested in and feel passionate about. A real eye opener to the real
life interests of our students. From drawing and digital works to ceramics and abstract
painting workshops, the students have explored many different themes and are
developing their own personal skills in various art mediums.
As well as creating their own artworks, students have been involved in the making of
school banners in Term 1 for St Patrick’s Day and Harmony Day, creating a colourful
splash all around the school.
Mrs Lea-Kathryn Nelson
In Photography Club, students have been exploring ways to take a great photo using different compositional rules. Each
week we share our photos in our “Photo of the Week” segment, where we celebrate the photographic achievements of
the last week. We are now working on claymation puppets that we will use to make a stop motion animation short film.

YEAR 7 CAMP
Wesley Vision Valley was the venue for the Year 7 camp
that was held during Week 11, Term 1 from the 9th of
April to the 11th of April. The camp was a fun way to
face your fears, learn new things and learn about each
other. It also was a great chance to hang out with your
friends. During the day students got the opportunity
to do archery, giant crate stacking, lily pads, low ropes,
canoeing, power fan, raft building and orienteering.
We participated in the activities during the day and
everyone was encouraged to ‘give it a go’. During the
night we had fabulous and informative guest speakers.
One of the guest speakers talked about being your ‘best
self’ using the acronym, T.O.U.G.H - thankful, optimistic,
understanding, generous and honest. Our second
speaker spoke about indigenous culture and also taught
us how to do a traditional dance.
The food was delicious and there was lots of it. The
Wesley Vision Valley staff were very helpful and they had
a thorough understanding of the activities. They also
helped everyone in need. Overall this camp was one of
the best camps most people have been to.
Thank you to all the MCCP staff who came with us.

PEER SUPPORT NEWS
This week was the final session of the term for the ten part Peer
Support Program which we celebrated with a BBQ luncheon.
The focus of this final session was to celebrate as a community
and review the skills and concepts we covered throughout the
program. We reviewed Strengthening Our Connections, Resilience
and Behaving with Integrity modules. This session also focused
on celebrating the gifts and values each student brings to our
community. We were blessed to have Br Tony Butler present who
presided over prayer and shared with the students some insights
about the essence of being Marist: family and community.
Our wonderful Year 10 Peer Support Leaders then guided their Year
7 groups through an affirmation activity. Year 7 students served
their Peer Support Leaders luncheon and as a community we ‘broke
bread’ symbolising the Marist bond between Year 7 and Year 10.
I would like to thank our excellent Year 10 Peer Support Leaders who
demonstrated skills of leadership, assertiveness and collaboration.
I would also like to thank Ms Beard, Year 7 Leader of Wellbeing, for
all her support and endless work helping her students’ transition to
Year 7 and all the other teachers involved.

YEAR 11 SPORT LIFESTYLE
On Wednesday the 11 th April our Year 11 Sport Lifestyle and Recreation students attended the Sydney Academy of
Sport and Recreation at Narrabeen. The Academy’s elite Sports Science Unit was a great place to enhance students
learning and reinforce our area of study, Fitness Testing and Program Design in a practical authentic manner.
Delivered by expert Sports Analysts, the Sports Science Education program gave students access to sophisticated
equipment and facilities.
The facility is regularly used by elite athletes and high profile sporting clubs, including the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles,
Olympic Men’s and Women’s Rugby 7s and NSWIS Winter Sports.
Students had the opportunity to experience a range of tests used to assess athletic performance such as:
• Explosive strength
• Aerobic and anaerobic fitness
• Cybex isokinetic testing
• Wingate
• Acceleration and speed
• Lactate profiles
• VO2max testing.
• Recovery hot and cold spas
Year 11 SLR students gained a greater insight into sports science and exercise programs utilising the facilities.

Trophy.
Based on the results of this competition, the following are the College’s 2018 Cross Country Age Champions:
