From the Principal VOLUME NO. 34 – 11 NOVEMBER, 2019
Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Friends of Rosebank,
Today we begin by bringing to mind the firefighters around the state working
tirelessly to save lives and property. We pray for their safety, stamina and resilience.
We also give thanks for the generosity of the employers who are allowing their
employees to attend to this incredible and essential effort. Finally, we keep in our
thoughts and prayers those who have lost property, family, friends and loved ones.
The drought and the fires have shown us how harsh and unforgiving life in regional
areas and the bush can be.
We give great thanks for the completion of the 2019 HSC exams. We note the
cooperation of our graduating class and the patience and support of parents
and families during this tense time. As difficult to believe as it seems, the formal
journey of secondary schooling is now ending. We are looking forward to
celebrating this transition into adulthood for our young men and women at their
Formal on Thursday evening.
Last week we heard of the death of another very special friend of Rosebank
College, Sr, Elizabeth Carr. Sr Elizabeth served as Board Director from 1988 to
2008, Board Chair from 1989 to 1992 and again in 1998 to 2002. She has served
this community for over 30 years. Sr Elizabeth was a strong advocate for the
College insisting that it moves forward and ensuring that this occurred. She was
a woman of deep faith and strong convictions and was patient, loving, intelligent,
resilient, caring and humble. Sr Elizabeth was a woman of the modern world
committed to the contemporary education of young men and women. She never
judged and was a great ambassador for the Benedictine value of hospitality and
inclusiveness.
Sr Elizabeth was a great friend and mentor to me when I first arrived at Rosebank,
taking a particular interest in and advocating for the initiatives of that time that
ultimately led to the reimagining of Rosebank College as a full co-educational
school offering a modern and relevant curriculum true to the mission of Good
Samaritan Benedictine Education. We pray for her peace and well deserved rest in
the arms of our loving creator God, and we keep in mind our Sisters of the Good
Samaritan who mourn the loss of one of their very special sisters. Her celebration
of life will be held on Tuesday at St Scholastica’s Glebe.
We are fast approaching that special time in the year when assessment schedules
are completed and formal reports are being finalised to be made available to
families prior to Christmas.
We are also preparing for the Presentation Evening during which we showcase
some student achievements (along with the extensive learning showcases we
conduct in the weeks ahead such as the InnovatEd and Stage 4 Showcases), as
well as celebrating significant effort and achievement by so many of our talented
and dedicated students. This evening complements the Co-curricular Presentation
Evening held earlier in the semester.

The builders on site will be recommencing their work on the Colonnade and Auditorium this week. The work is scheduled to be completed at the end of January. As such we will not have access to these spaces in December. Hence, the Presentation Evening will be conducted in Jamberoo Courts using a similar format to past years. I am looking forward to seeing you on the evening of Tuesday, 3 December to celebrate the achievements of 2019. The final work on Inkamana will also commence this week with the aim to be completed at the end of January. I am thankful for the cooperation and understanding of our students and staff allowing us to finalise all this important work and ensure we have safe contemporary learning spaces for the start of 2020. The College is also beginning the formal design work for the last of the planned construction projects that will allow us to make up for limited teaching spaces and replace the demountables. In doing this we also hope to restore and slightly enlarge the car park. If all goes well and the many layers of approvals are achieved, it is hoped that the project will commence in the second half of 2020. We have been finalising the consultative processes that will be used for the upcoming planning process to create the Strategic Plan for 2021 to 2025. We have identified the many important stakeholders and identified the important data gathering, and focus group gatherings that will ensure we continue to be a learning organisation by listening to the broad range of important members of the Rosebank Community. I will be writing to these various groups over the coming weeks asking for your assistance, time and wisdom. We can only plan effectively for the next 5 to 15 years if we work together and with a common vision and mission. As I have often written, the focus on the mission will ensure we navigate these exciting, unique but turbulent times with courage, confidence and hope, ensuring that Rosebank continues to serve its community with care, strength and a clear sense of direction and priority. I thank you in anticipation of your contribution to identifying the emerging strategic priorities while still being able to address the inevitable range of operational matters that are identified during these consultations.

Halogen Conference
On Monday 4th November, Sofia, Sam, Thomas and I, along with Mrs
Carter, attended the National Young Leaders Halogen conference at
the ICC Darling Harbour. The event was open to students across NSW
in leadership positions such as ourselves, and there were nearly 2000
students in attendance. At the conference, we listened to four guest
speakers, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with the other
students and learn about their schools. The guest speakers were; John
Coutis, who captivated us with his story of life without legs, and how
he has managed to cope with the challenges and strive to achieve his
goals, Bianca Chatfield, former netball representative for Australia and
contestant on The Block, who spoke about her way of coping with life’s
challenges in a world where people tend to take a victim mentality. Erin
Molan from The Footy Show, who told us her success story and preached
the importance of hard work and constant persistence, as well as how
to cope with the struggles of social media. And finally, Lachlan Smart, the
youngest person to fly solo globally, who also spoke about how to achieve
what seems to be impossible. We also had numerous opportunities
to speak to kids from all around Sydney, and hear about their schools’
initiatives as well as share our own.
The day was extremely beneficial to us not only for our leadership prospects, but also extremely helpful for our
building of self confidence. Seeing the speakers share their stories was extremely motivating, especially for the
upcoming year. I hope for the best for the upcoming year of leadership!

Brush with Books! - FoCS
The staff of the SRSC were very excited to be the recipients of some amazing, eye-catching and imaginative works
of art that were created by our Year 7 and 8 students as part of FoCS (Festival of the Creative Spirit)! The students
were expertly guided by Ms Harris, Ms Booth and Ms Fallone throughout the week. I was invited to speak to the
students regarding the different fiction and nonfiction genres to help inspire creativity around the various genre
themes.
The artworks were created and gifted permanently to the SRSC. It has really lifted the library and given it colour,
depth and visual appeal. We are beyond proud and excited with what the students have produced. Well done!

Word of the Week
Obumbrate - verb (used with object) [ob-uhm-breyt]
To darken, overshadow, or cloud.
https://www.dictionary.com/e/word-of-the-day/obumbrate-2019-11-03/
Origin:
The Latin root of obumbrate helps clarify this verb meaning “to darken, overshadow, or cloud”: umbra, “shadow,
shade.” Obumbrate comes from Latin obumbrare “to overshadow, shade, darken.” Obumbrare combines the prefix
ob- “on, over” (among other senses) and umbrare “to shade,” a derivative of umbra. English owes many other words
to Latin umbra, including adumbrate, penumbra, umbrage, and umbrella, the latter of which can be literally understood
as “a little shade.” Obumbrate entered English in the early 1500s.

10Cancer Survivorship Centre
Rosebank students (& ex-students) have been very busy in
assisting at the Cancer Survivorship Centre.
On two recent Sunday mornings (27 Oct & 10 Nov) when most
were still sleeping in, a dedicated, keen group of students worked
at the garden at the Cottage. On the 27th, Warren, a patient at
the centre, met with our volunteers to explain how he has been
caring for the garden and what the students can do to keep his
work going. This was a humbling, wonderful experience for each
of us as we could all see how much the Survivorship Centre and
the gardens have meant to Warren. We thank him for being so
generous in meeting with us and for his care & support of others
during difficult times for him.
On Saturday 02 Nov the Survivorship Centre held its first Life
& Hope Cabaret. A group of senior students assisted with selling
raffle tickets & message doves, meeting, greeting, assisting with the
silent auction and packing up. The centre raised $18,000 which
will help keep the programs running at no cost to patients or
survivors.
A big thank you to those who have worked over these last weeks.
