We pray for those who lost their lives. We also hold in prayer those who have lost family, friends, homes and possessions And struggle to rebuild their shattered lives from the ashes. We remember the many firefighters, emergency personnel and volunteers who worked, and continue to work, so hard under such difficult circumstances. As members of this Christian Community, believing that Resurrection always follows death We ask God to grant new life to the people, the families and the communities who suffer and grieve.

This past week we welcomed back the Class of 2013 high achievers to celebrate their efforts. Our Dux addressed the community as did the Most Accomplished Senior VCAL student. Their words were fantastic so for our first Newsletter, I hand over to them. Yours Faithfully, Brendan J Watson OAM Principal DUX Speech 2013 Good Morning Students, Teachers and Parents; A year ago, around this time, I sat at this very assembly, watching last year’s Dux give their speech. The only thing I can remember is being so bored that I completely zoned out and missed everything they had to say to us. I really regret not getting that advice for year twelve, because my lack of understanding required me to put in more effort to make up for things I so carelessly missed. It is of note that this a year you cant get through without some sort of help. I have three main pieces of advice for this year’s year 12s. first and foremost, avoid wasting time. Whilst sometimes you may not feel that you are wasting your time, you are ultimately detracting from your own success. From today you have around 65 hundred hours until the first exams starts. While that may seem like a lot, it is constantly decreasing. Taking consideration for healthy sleep, socialization, and half of that time is already gone. It’s a simple concept of opportunity cost- time spent into screwing around is just time detracted from your own pursuits into the future. Secondly, people would have you believe that the year is stressful. It’s not true. It is neither the of the world nor deserving of the sense of dread that fills so many people. With a good amount of hard work, enthusiasm and determination, the results of your work, SACs and eventually exams will be entirely worth the effort put in. To those of you who have changed into a new subject this year or are worried because you missed out on a sixth subject, I can tell you as a person who experienced both of these that as long as you commit yourself to your work, you can still achieve your goals. Finally, use your teachers. They are dedicated guides to your journey through year 12. And though you may have come to take teachers in general for granted in the last years, along the path of year 12 they are one of your lights to guide the way. Remember that they are here for you, and that there is no shame in asking for assistance. The same goes for your own friends and classmates- do not be afraid to ask for help- while you are ultimately competing with each other, you can progress as a whole with some jolly cooperation.. Cont…/2. 380 Sydenham Road, Sydenham. VIC. 3037 Telephone: 9361 0000 www.crcsydenham.net Facsimile: 9390 2096 From the Principal To the year 11s, my only advice for you is to put in to this year, as I promise you it will pay off for next year. The establishment of a good work ethic is equally important to any results that you receive in the oncoming years. Thank you for this award; it is a great honor to be recognized as the most accomplished Senior VCAL student. I would just like to take a moment to say thank you to my parents, teachers and friends, and congratulations to all the award recipients today. These are the people you should take inspiration from, and I am truly honoured to have worked with them. When I first started at CRC Sydenham I really didn’t know what to expect, and what completing a VCAL course would be like. I just knew I wanted to be a plumber and gain an apprenticeship. I guess my real point that I want to reaffirm to each and every one of you students is to avoid regretting the actions you have taken during the year, which itself entails making the most of each passing moment. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, that no matter how naturally able you are in your work, adding just a bit of effort can bring you a long way. Completing VCAL enabled me to learn the skills I needed to enter the workforce and impress potential employers in an adult environment. My senior project, which was planning a Camp for all Senior students, allowed me to further build upon these skills as I had to go through a panel interview and communicate with the providers we were looking to book, other students and key personal at the College. To be successful as a senior student Jill asked us to push ourselves, take on extra responsibilities and work using our own initiative, and I’ve found that these skills are what really set you apart in the workplace. Thank you All. Most Accomplished Senior VCAL Student Speech To this year’s VCAL students, I wish you all success and good luck in your chosen pathways. My advice is to really cherish every minute at school, with your teachers and your friends as it will very quickly be over. And to strive to be the best you can be, go that extra mile in class and aim to impress and learn as much as you can during work placement. I was lucky enough to gain an apprenticeship during my work placement and gained valuable skills and knowledge that I now use every day. Finally on behalf of my year level I wish to thank all of our teachers in VCAL and a special thank you to Jill and Jules for all their hard work over our two years in VCAL.

This fortnight we recognise, celebrate and congratulate the following Bradman Cluster Jacob Marino Chang Cluster Natasha Vella Over the summer break Jacob continued his employment in two casual positions, one at the local cinema and the other at a fast food restaurant. Through his hard work he has been able to purchase a car. We congratulate Jacob on this work ethic and goal setting. As Jacob transitions into his final year of VCE he is already beginning to plan his study around his various other commitments and set his goals. He realises that study must be his major focus for the year. Through his hard work and study this year he will set himself up for a successful life and gain access to future study. Chang would like to commend Natasha Vella for a great start to 2014. She has begun the year with a positive outlook recognizing the challenge ahead but confident of her ability to apply herself in the subjects that she has chosen. After visiting America in the school holidays, she was able to see how people in another country live helping her to appreciate the differences of people around the world. From the Principal Dunlop Cluster Dunlop is proud to congratulate Carla Santalucia who was nominated, and a finalist for, Brimbank's Young Citizen of the Year. Carla was nominated by the College in recognition of her voluntary work within the community, including her fundraising initiatives which demonstrate compassion for the marginalised. We also welcome her to the Student Leadership Group as Social Justice Captain for 2014 and wish her well as she commences work promoting Project Compassion and coordinating the Mother and Daughter Dinner on March 13th at Quatrefoils to mark International Women's Day. Best of luck Carla, we wish you well. Adrian Cristobal Carla Santalucia MacKillop Cluster O’Shane Cluster Mackillop Cluster would like to begin the school year by congratulating Redmon Ortega on his appointment as Year 11 leader of our Cluster. Winton Cluster Redmon comes into the roll with much experience. Apart from being College Captain at CRC St Albans last year, Redmond also completed a successful year of study and volunteer work at the Allara Community Centre. Redmon Ortega We look forward to Redmon making similar contribution to our Sydenham Community and wish him all the best in his pursuit of an Aeronautical Engineering career. From his first week here at CRC Sydenham Adrian made a positive impression being inclusive and taking the role of chant leader. The O’Shane community is very blessed to have him, his caring and considerate nature is constantly shared with others, ensuring that all who come into contact with him are comfortable and included. Adrian is always willing to help those in need and wanting to bring smiles to those he comes in contact with. It is this ability to always think of the communal need and act as a team player which makes him a valued member of the O’Shane Cluster. It was these attributes that made him a worthy recipient of the position of Year 12 Cluster Leader for O’Shane. We wish him luck for this year! Winton would like to recognise the continued success of Daniel Fornito. In 2013, Daniel was able to represent Victoria in a high level of baseball and in January 2014, he represented Victoria at the Australian National Under 18 Baseball Championships, this year held in Canberra. The team performed well, achieving a third place overall with Daniel highlighted as one of the rising stars of the competition. We look forward to watching Daniel’s sporting career continue to develop throughout 2014.
