from the principal
Dear Emmanuel College Families,
I don’t need to tell you how difficult the last
week has been for our community. The
sudden death of year ten student, Jack
Lynch, on Wednesday 15 October has had a
huge impact on us all. We continue to send
our condolences to his parents Helen and
Terry, to his brother Tom and sisters Molly
and Grace and to his many friends whom we
have watched closely these last few days as
they openly display their grief and grapple to
understand the loss. We have tried our very
best to support one another, to care for those
who are most vulnerable at this time, to seek
meaningful ways to remember Jack, and to
maintain our daily routine as we know this is
the best response we can make. On Friday
afternoon the year ten students gathered in
McAuley Campus Hall for a prayer service they
had prepared. The student’s reflections upon
Jack were accompanied by very traditional
prayers such as:
Lord, support us all the day long,
Until the shadows lengthen, and the
evening comes,
And the busy world is hushed,
And the fever of life is over,
And our work is done.
Then in your mercy,
Grant us safe lodging,
And a holy rest,
And peace at the last.
The student’s reflections contained a common
message that they would always treasure
their memories of Jack whilst also struggling
to understand his decision and its impact
upon so many. At the conclusion of the
prayer service the students moved to the
bottom oval where they released 100 helium
filled balloons attached to personal messages
they had written. Their release upon the
gentle afternoon breeze was a beautiful sight.
Becalmed by the beauty and the sadness
of the moment we stood, staring into the
heavens for many minutes, each of us deep in
the terrible loss of one of our own.
We have also seen during the last few days
an outpouring of widespread support for
our College community. Offers of support,
messages of sympathy and floral tributes
have come from members of the Emmanuel
and Warrnambool communities, the staff of
the Catholic Education Office, Government
agencies, from Catholic schools across
Victoria, and Brauer, Warrnambool and Kings
Colleges. We have been left in no doubt we
are being thought of and prayed for and
we take great comfort from this knowledge.
Messages of sympathy have been brief and
extended and I wish to share this beautiful
message from former student and Inspiring
Alumni Sr. Adele Howard:
I wanted to let you know that we prayed
for young Jack Lynch at Mass here in
Glendalough Retreat Centre in the Wicklow
mountains in Ireland yesterday after Marcia
(staff member and sister) told me the tragic
news of the death of this young Emmanuel
College student. We prayed for eternal peace
for Jack and for consolation for his parents
and family as well as for his friends and
classmates and the staff of Emmanuel.
As the priest then said - ‘it would be a name
that is very familiar to us here (in Ireland). We
will remember him in prayer.’
It is a small but real comfort to know that we
who have come from this country of Ireland,
generations ago, will always belong to a wider
family of love and concern than we know. The ancient monastic remains, the soft green
earth, the mystical Upper Lake and the gentle
pink Fuchsia (the flower they call here the
‘tears of God’) are reminders to me in this
beautiful valley of Glendalough that life goes
on - it is changed indeed but it is not ended. With prayer, concern and deepest sympathy
to you and the staff who did so much to
give Jack such great experiences of life and
learning in your College community.
Sr Adele Howard rsm
EMMANUEL COLLEGE NEWSLETTER : ISSUE 28 : OCTOBER 20, 2014
At this time we await details of Jack’s funeral.
I understand many Emmanuel students will
want to attend his funeral and I encourage
this to happen both as a sign of support to
Jack’s family, but also for the understanding it
brings of the finality of death. The College will
not be arranging to take students to Jack’s
funeral nor supervising students who attend
the funeral. We see this as something best
done with their own family, so I ask parents to
attend the funeral with their children should
their son or daughter want to participate.
Please advise us of your child’s absence if
s/he will not be at school. We will however
be holding our own memorial service for our
whole staff and student body. This will take
place in McAuley Hall this coming Thursday.
Finally, I thank the Emmanuel staff in the way
they have united during the last few days to
be the best school community we can be. We
have received much help, but in particular
I thank Mr Shoni Reimert from the Catholic
education Office and Mrs Catriona Campbell
from South West Health whose immediate
response and continued presence at the
College assisted so many. I also thank Sharon
and Kelly from Melbourne Headspace who
have helped plan our response and cared for
the many carers within our school. Please
continue your prayers for our College, in
particular our students, as the journey we
face is still a long one.
“Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord
And may perpetual light shine upon him
May he rest in peace.
Amen.”
Kind regards.

John O’Sullivan | Religious Education/Faith Formation Coordinator
Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from
His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times
along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest
times of His life.
This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with
me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t
understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.
The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
Lord, we pray that you support the Lynch family; Helen, Terry, Molly, Tom and Grace and their
extended family and friends over the tragic death of Jack. May they receive the support and love
of their friends and the wider community in their times of need. Amen
Congratulations to St John of God Hospital who on the weekend celebrated 75 years of Catholic Health Care in the Warrnambool community. A Mass of
thanksgiving was held yesterday at St Joseph’s Church with a number of the Sisters and staff in attendance. Emmanuel College has a strong connection with the
hospital, with a number of the Religious Education classes visiting the hospital’s chapel and talking with the hospitals pastoral ministry staff about their roles as
part of the students RE studies.
We wish our Year 12 students best wishes with their final school day celebrations today
and all the best with their exam preparations over the coming weeks.

YOU are invited to have input into the
name of the new multi-purpose hall
The building of the new multi-purpose hall is the largest and most
expensive building project to be undertaken by Emmanuel College.
When completed, the new hall will be large enough to accommodate
the whole College population to comfortably gather together under
one roof. We will be able to celebrate our liturgies, Emmanuel Day,
graduation ceremonies and presentation balls in our own hall.
The hall will contain two full sized courts equipped for an extensive
range of sports. There will be retractable seating for 700 with
space for an additional 700 on chairs. There will be classrooms,
one fitted as a weights training room. The kitchen facility will
facilitate catering for school functions, and double as a commercially
equipped teaching space. Of course there are toilets, change rooms
and storage for sports equipment, a staff and first aid room. The
lower level will provide storage for our bus and outdoor education
equipment, as well as space to develop a future industrial arts area
when the funding becomes available. Most importantly we will gain a
much-needed undercover space for students during wet weather.
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
There are plans to name the facility rather than referring to it as
‘the hall’. We are now seeking your input as parents, students, staff
members and alumni with regard to the most appropriate name for
the facility. This will be a very exciting time for us, and one requiring
support from our College and larger communities.
The challenge is to identify a name that has gravitas, meaning and
longevity. The name needs to positively reflect upon: who we are,
our origins and how we wish to be seen today within the broader
Warrnambool community.
Some of the names that have already been discussed are listed
below, but you are invited to make suggestions of your own
as well as to provide feedback on these names. If you suggest a
name, please briefly describe why the name has meaning for the
College and/or our district.
McAuley Hall – named after Catherine McAuley the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy.
The Edmund Rice Centre – named after the founder of the Christian Brothers
The Maguire Centre – named after Sr Philomene Maguire the founding sister of St Ann’s College.
Hopkins Hall/Centre – named after a significant local feature.
Wyton Hall/Centre – named after the original house on this site purchased by the Sisters of Mercy.
The Elizabeth Centre – named after the ship on which the founding sisters travelled to Australia from Ireland.
Founders Hall – named after and paying tribute to the founders of St Ann’s, CBC, and Emmanuel Colleges.
Your suggestion – you are invited to make suggestions of your own.

Exam Timetables
It is fast approaching the time of the year when students begin to prepare for the final exams. We wish all of our Year 12 students the
best as they prepare to sit their VCE English Exam on Wednesday the 29th of October.
To help our Year 11 - 8 students to prepare we have now released their Exam timetables which can also be located on the College Website.
The link to which is below:
http://www.emmanuel.vic.edu.au/education/Examinations/
Some practical tips for Exam Management:
• Time Management - this is the time to reflect on your approach to the exams. Listen to advice and tips of your teachers, hone into any cues they are given to
you and be proactive rather than reactive. Plan your days well, decide the time you need to devote to achieving your goals and anticipate interruptions and
time for yourself. Reflect on your achievements each day.
• Identify what you most need to cover, through the use of practice papers or past tests and identify areas of weakness.
• Prioritise the things that are the most important to tackle (areas of weakness). Discuss this with your teacher, they may guide you in this area.
• Rewards are a good way to motivate you. Set yourself a reward after you have completed tasks, and take some time out for relaxation.
• Utilise your support networks - your teachers, parents and friends are there for you. Ask for help, you will be surprised how many people have invested in you
and want to be there to support you.
• Avoid stressors and stressful people, it is the time to be in the company of positive people.

Learning Resource Centre news

Chess
On Monday 13 October students travelled to Melbourne to play in the Chess Kids state tournament at Brighton Grammar School with Mrs Sinnott, Grant
and Jaffa.
International School Library Month
Students in Mr O’Sullivan’s class, Ms Edge’s class and Ms Wilkinson’s class have been making bookmarks to send to a country overseas to celebrate
International School Library Month.
Mr O’Sullivan’s class have been matched with a school in England. Ms Edge’s class have been matched with a school in Croatia and it looks like a school
in Hungary will be the match for Ms Wilkinson’s class. Pictured here are some of the bookmarks made by Ms Wilkinson’s class.
This week past Library Staff from Emmanuel College, St Ann’s and CBC will gather at the school to see the Learning Resource Centre at both campuses
and then will share a meal together, having time to reminisce about what the Library was like in days past. We have more than 15 present and past staff
members attending. As part of this International School Library Month celebration an historical timeline is being prepared that will show the development
of the library over the years. This will be graphically designed and displayed at both Centres in the next couple of months. We look forward to hearing
about the past, including students in Form 5 Mauve (our Year 11 equivalent) typing catalogue cards and what it was like before the library had computers
or the internet.
Man Booker Prize
In the last week an Australian author, Richard Flanagan (from Tasmania) has won the Man Booker Prize
in London for his novel The Narrow Road To The Deep North, placing him among the world’s elite writers.
It is the story of an Australian doctor who helps his comrades negotiate the brutalities on the Burma
Railway but finds post-war life difficult. Traditionally the Booker Prize is limited to Commonwealth writers
but this year it was opened to American novelists. A copy of this book has been ordered for the Rice LRC.

A little ‘taste’ of my time at the Ruben Centre in Kenya
Emmanuel College has been fund-raising
for the Ruben Centre in Nairobi, Kenya
for several years so I would like to take
this opportunity to describe some of
my incredible experience when I visited
earlier this year. The Ruben centre is
absolutely amazing place that provides
free education for 2200 students from
preschool to Class 8, feeds these
students a daily lunch meal and half of
them (up to class 3) with breakfast as
well. The centre is situated in middle of
the Mukuru Slum in Nairobi where at least
300,000 people live with little income,
corrugated iron housing and open
sewers. The centre also supports these
people by providing a health clinic, AIDS
clinic, has antenatal care, nutritionists,
occupational therapists, social workers,
clubs, scouts, micro-finance, Vocational
training, adult education and the list goes
on.
When Frank (my brother) and Director of the
Centre, heard that I wanted to come and do
some volunteer work he thought the time was
right to get a ‘new’ kitchen up and going. I must
admit when I first arrived I wondered how it was
every going to be achieved, as a dismantled
tin classroom was to be converted and set up
with local stoves and an oven run on briquettes
made mainly from recycled paper. There was no
covering for the windows, where everyday before
starting we had to wipe a layer of dust from all the
surfaces and to my horror it wasn’t long before
the local rodents had sniffed us out (I was way
out of my comfort zone) and within a week we
were catering for conference groups of 40 or 50
one or two times a week, doing vocational classes
with about 25 women, school classes with about
35 girls (the boys had to do something else as
the whole 70 students could definitely not fit),
nutritional cooking for mothers and the occasional
other group (like teachers that just wanted to
have a go at something.) It was amazing to be in
an environment where virtually no one knows how
to cook anything. It was certainly starting from
scratch.
I had the privilege of working with two amazing,
resilient women in this kitchen. After my two and
half months I left one of these ladies (Miriam)
in charge of the kitchen – a woman on her own
with 3 children and mother to support. She works
9 hour a day for an allowance of 300 Kenyan
shillings (about $4) - yet loves life and her
opportunity. She has never been educated and is
now attending adult classes after her work each
day.
EMMANUEL COLLEGE NEWSLETTER : ISSUE 28 : OCTOBER 20, 2014
Many of the kids at the school have never tasted
anything apart from some staples like beans, rice
and maize. That was one of the heart breaks
of working at Ruben was to have kids looking in
the open windows during their break times with
pleading eyes and asking ‘give me one’ and not
being able to give them something. Unfortunately,
if I started to do that – the next day I probably
would have had 1000 kids trying to look in the
window and asking for ‘one’.
Much of this money from fund-raising efforts
here has been used to provide scholarships (an
educational opportunity) for some of the students
to continue their education once they finish their
Grade 8 level at Ruben. I know also that one of
the short-term goals of Ruben is to begin work
on a Secondary School on site as well. There
was also money donated by Emmanuel College
just before we went to Ruben and that was used
to purchase materials to help set up the ‘new’
kitchen. It has been lovely to go back into classes
here and have the Emmanuel students ask and
want to hear all about our time in Kenya and for
them to learn a little about how education and an
opportunity is so important to the people who use
and work at Ruben. I am so very grateful for the
opportunity I had and can’t believe the openness,
love and generosity the people I worked with and
for at Ruben, showed us.

VCE Creative Arts Exhibition
Last Friday afternoon from 4 till 7pm we
held our VCE Creative Arts Exhibition in the
0 building. Many staff, students, parents,
grandparents, aunties and uncles, siblings, Fr
Lawrie, friends and supporters of the Arts at
Emmanuel attended. The 0 building scrubbed
up pretty well for an old dame and the
student’s artworks looked great. The walls and
tables were filled with the folios of our current
Year 11 and 12 students from Art, Media,
Studio Art and Visual Communication Design.
Thank you to everyone who came to see the
amazing creative talent of our students and
to the fantastic arts staff including Maddy
Halouvas our Arts trainee who assisted me in
framing, hanging, cleaning and setting up the
exhibition.
We were also treated to the first viewing of the new
“stations of the cross” for the Rice Campus chapel.
These beautiful rendered drawings were created by two
current Year 12 art students Caitlin Brown and Grace
Moloney with the assistance of artist Megan Cullum. The
shadow box framing only adds to the sublime beauty of
the works. Thank you girls and what an amazing legacy
you have left for all of the Emmanuel College community
to enjoy.
All the best to the students who will attend the screening
and announcement of the winning silent films in
Melbourne this coming weekend.
A reminder that the Arts Hall of Fame award entries are
due by the end of October. Entry forms are available at
each campus. Artwork needs to be handed in to office
or student services. Thank you.

The Mahogany Ship Mystery: Warrnambool’s Loch Ness
Monster?
Dr. John Sherwood
Warrnambool will
have an opportunity
to learn about the
mystery of the
Mahogany Ship a talk to
be hosted by Deakin
University on Tuesday
21st October 2014.
Buried somewhere in the dunes west of Warrnambool is
the
WARRNAMBOOL POLICE
STATION OPEN DAY
elusive wreck of a ship which
predates the arrival of the first European settlers in
Victoria. The wreck has the potential to redefine the first
encounter of Europeans with our Continent.
It was
last seen in the 1880’s and prior to
its disappearance was described by over 40 observers.
There has been a great deal of interest in establishing
the origin of the vessel – it has been variously described
as Chinese, Dutch and Portuguese.
The case for the latter origin has been argued by
Kenneth McIntyre in a book, “The Secret Discovery of
Australia”, in which he claims Australia’s east coast was
visited by Europeans 200 years before Captain Cook.
While there is indirect evidence for this and other
claims the best evidence lies under the sand near
Warrnambool.
Saturday 18th October 2014
Warrnambool Police Station
214 Koroit Street
examine the
circumstances of the wreck’s
initial sighting, the theories for its origin and
This talk will
the modern search methods which have the potential to
locate the ship today.
