From the Principal VOLUME NO. 14 – 20 MAY, 2019
Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Friends of Rosebank,
The Nation has voted and we all hope that when government is duly
declared it gets on with ‘the job’.
I take this opportunity on behalf of the Rosebank Community to
congratulate Dr Fiona Martin for firstly committing to public life - a huge
task when coupled with her already big commitments to her business and
family. We have no doubt that her formation here at Rosebank and the
influence of her family and study, will ensure she will bring to the task a Year 7 Science
strong work ethic, a deep set of core values, a strength of intellect and
professional wisdom, a caring disposition and a generosity of heart.
I also take this opportunity to formally thank Mr Craig Laundy who has
served our community of Reid with steadfast commitment, generosity
of heart and strength of character and who provided excellent example
and mentoring to our students, in particular our immerging leaders. Craig
demonstrated on many occasion, in the mayhem of the past six years,
what integrity and conviction is about even when there is a great personal
price. We also extend our gratitude to Craig’s family who generously
allowed him to pursue a public career with the intrusion and loss of
privacy that it entails. We look forward to an opportunity to welcome
both Fiona and thank Craig more publically in the near future.
In our competitive approach to politics there can be but one winner.
So to Sam Crosby, our other special alumni we offer our support and
appreciation for stepping up and seeking the privilege of representation
of the Reid community. Sam, along with his family and supporters
undoubtedly, gave of their best. While I have no doubt that Saturday
evening would have been deeply disappointing, I am sure we will continue
to see Sam serving our community in many varied and important ways.
Year 8 Science
Sam is passionate about the common good and ensuring that the limited
and precious resources of the local and national community are well
distributed and managed.
At Rosebank Last Friday evening, one of the topics debated was “we get
the politicians we deserve”. The various teams approached this vigorously
from different angles based to some extent on whether they were given
the affirmative or negative challenge. The debate had me thinking about
the notion of ‘what do we deserve’? Not in a negative sense of blame and
revenge, but in the sense of what do we, as created and loving humans,
need and deserve.
There will be much spoken about this in the weeks ahead as the new
Morrison Government sets about redefining the nation’s agenda in the
post-election context and identifying the key players who will implement
it. However, I fear that the real conversation Australians need to have may
get lost once again in the practical trivia and possible divisions of a hung

parliament or minority government with, the balance of power held Year 12 Industrial Technology by the minorities. What I believe is needed in the Australian dialogue is an antidote to what Benedictine Sister, Joan Chittister OSB refers to as “a world where power and bullying, egregious greed and pathological individualism, authoritarianism and narcissism has left a sense of community behind”. This is a world that teaches ‘that pride is the basic flaw in the human system’. She proposes, in following St Benedict’s advice who found himself immersed in a similar world, that ‘Humility, the cornerstone of society, of civilization, of the social order, is its corrective.” We pray that as the government and the opposition, balance, leaders and agendas take shape, we begin to see a huge amount of humility. If Scott Morrison truly ‘believes in miracles’ than what we should be seeing is a leadership style that acknowledges the hand of one who created and brought us all into being and has called us forward to serve and build community. As with all authentic leadership, there is a recognition that it’s not about the leader, not about power and not about ego. It is about the mission!! It is about the sacred act of co- creation. It is about serving and enabling. It’s about, in St Benedict’s words, ‘arranging all things so that the strong have much to long for and the weak have nothing to fear’. We need a leadership where no one is left behind and the resources of the nation are equitably distributed so we can be our best. I believe we are emerging out of a divisive, destructive, selfish era in the nation’s history and we are being given an opportunity to move ahead with vision, hope, justice and trust. Australians have now voted. Will we get the politicians we deserve? Tom Galea Principal 2

praises Mary as “marginalised woman”, “unwed mother”, “refugee woman with child”, “mother of a political prisoner”,
and “seeker of sanctuary”.
There will be no luminous statue of Mary on any altar I may create this May. But in my prayer space I have a beautiful
image of the Annunciation. This May I pray that Mary, my companion and sister in faith, may continue to help me look

Sports Report Representative Sport Report: CBSA/SCC CBSA Senior Soccer Report: Rosebank 6 defeated Lakemba 0 Round 3 in the CBSA Senior Soccer Competition saw Rosebank chasing their second win against Holy Spirit Lakemba. The Rosebank midfield quickly asserted their dominance with a mountain of possession. After some pinpoint passing and a few close shots, the deadlock was broken with a Holy Spirit own goal. Man of the match, Samuel Rodrigues, then displayed some fancy footwork in a crowded penalty box but was denied by a hand-ball on the goal line, with the resultant red card reducing Lakemba to 10 men. Anthony Kyriazis calmly slotted the penalty and it was all one-way traffic from here with Samuel Rodrigues adding another goal for Rosebank to take a 3-0 lead at half time. The defence was rock-solid all game, with left-back Oliver Portas making a stunning full-field run on the counter-attack and leaving a trail of defenders in his wake on his way to put the boys 4 goals up. Zane Dragatogiannis capped off a brilliant performance in midfield with some flair and finesse to claim a fifth goal for the team after a few assists. In the final play of the game, striker Oscar Derkatch broke his goal- scoring drought with a well guided header to seal an emphatic 6-0 victory. Goalkeeper David Parpaiola was also exceptional, making various critical saves to keep his clean sheet. SCC Intermediate Netball Report: Rosebank 27 defeated Liverpool 25 The SCC Intermediate Netball team played a fantastic game on Thursday, edging out All Saints Liverpool 27-25 to claim the win. In attack Simona Bertuccio, Lara Zuzza and Chelsea Ashwood displayed great composure and patience, staying calm under the physical pressure from All Saints. Olivia Gilchrist had outstanding hands over the defence which helped build the pressure and allowed for Charlise Gardner, Sienna Tierney and Chloe Tselis to receive numerous intercepts. Our whole court defence allowed us to gain a crucial intercept in the dying minutes which we were then able to capitalise on to come away with a late goal and the win. A fantastic whole team effort that epitomises that hard work pays off. SCC Senior Netball Report: Rosebank 45 defeated Liverpool 8 The SCC Senior Netball team side off to a great start again this season, with another convincing win this week against Liverpool 45-8. Amy O’Neill, Jasmine Gryllis and Kasey Spratt caused lots of headaches for the opposition with their smothering defence and ability to restrict access into their shooting circle. The quick transition from defence to attack following a turnover was made to look effortless by the strong drives and changes of direction from Emily Fiori and Jess Callander in the middle. The team’s efforts were quickly rewarded each time by the great circle rotation and shooting from Gnima Sagna, Lucinda Della Marta and Shannon Germon. In the end, Rosebank ran away for a comfortable 37 point victory and remain undefeated after 3 rounds.
