MAZENOD COLLEGE PRAYER Heavenly Father, you have chosen us to be your people and you call us to live and grow each day in our Mazenod College Community. May we be ever more aware of the presence of Jesus in our own lives, nourished by prayer and the Eucharist, may we make His presence felt more and more in the lives of those around us, at home, at school and at play.

May we always be proud of our Catholic Heritage, loyal to our Church, and eager to help grow in carrying on the life and love of Jesus Christ in the world today. Help us to recognise the special gifts you give to each one of us and let us always use them for the betterment of the World in which we live.

Let us be open to, and generous in answering whatever walk of life God calls us to.

Father we praise your name for ever and ever.

St Eugene de Mazenod: Pray for us.

Blessed Joseph Gerard: Pray for us.

Blessed Joseph Cebula: Pray for us.

Praised be Jesus Christ and Mary Immaculate.

MAZENOD COLLEGE Mazenod College is a Boys’ Secondary Regional College founded in 1967 to serve the needs of the five Parishes that make up its region, viz. St. Joseph’s, Springvale, St. Leonard’s, Glen Waverley, Good Shepherd, Wheelers Hill, St. John Vianney’s, Springvale North and St. Peter’s, Clayton. It is a College run by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a missionary religious order in the Church, whose founder was St. Eugene de Mazenod, and from whom the College takes its name and inspiration.

COLLEGE AIMS The Aims and Objectives of Mazenod are those of a community growing together in a faith relationship with Christ, transmitting Christian values and thus forming a part of the saving mission of the Catholic Church. It is a place where human knowledge, enlightened and enlivened by faith is shared by teachers, students and parents, in a spirit of love and freedom. Mazenod is a place of integral formation by means of systematic and critical assimilation of local, national and world culture.

Individual subjects contribute in their own particular methods to the student’s total growth. They enable the pupils to assimilate skills, knowledge, intellectual methods and moral and social attitudes all of which help to develop each one’s personality and lead him to take his place as an active member of the community. The aim of each subject is not merely the attainment of knowledge but the acquisition of values and the discovery of truth.

Mazenod seeks to provide the means by which the full potential of each of its students and that of the school community is realized. These are presented under the following headings: FAITH ACADEMIC COMMUNITY PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT FAITH Aims and Objectives The aim is to teach the gospel of Christ and transmission of the Catholic heritage, fostering through prayer, liturgy and sacramental life a total commitment of one’s whole being to the person of Christ in the Church.

1. Mazenod seeks to foster in all its students development of their knowledge and love of God, through deepening their faith in Jesus Christ.

2. Mazenod seeks to develop persons who are responsible and directed, capable of choosing freely in conformity with a well-informed conscience; and acting in service according to that conscience.

3. Mazenod seeks to promote a moral consciousness in its students, in accord with Christ’s teaching and the mind of the Church, and enable them to relate it to their own lives.

4. Mazenod seeks to provide a suitable Christian atmosphere which encourages the growth of the whole person; providing the opportunity to integrate culture and faith through the acceptance of Christ and his ideas, attitudes and values.

5. Mazenod seeks to provide a critical and systematic account of the teaching of the Gospel and the Catholic Church in accordance with guidelines provided by the Archdiocese whilst at the same time enabling students to experience a sense of Christian Community. It will also put students in touch with the unique Australian Catholic Heritage which is theirs.

COLLEGE AIMS CONTINUED PRAYER SACRAMENTAL LIFE Mazenod seeks to foster in each student a personal relationship with God through an active and sincere prayer life. While personal prayer is encouraged, emphasis is given to moments of community prayer at the beginning of each class and day, as well as in the various sacramental celebrations held regularly at the College.

ACADEMIC Aims and Objectives Knowledge is a means to self-fulfilment, material prosperity and success but it is also and especially a call to serve and be responsible for others.

This implies the following objectives: 1. That Mazenod will ensure that all its students attain the highest level of literacy, oracy and numeracy appropriate to their level of ability.

2. This involves a positive effort to respect students of lesser ability and to cultivate their abilities to the fullest; whilst also responding to excellence in ability in other students.

3. That Mazenod will foster the natural creative talents of its students developing creative, imaginative and intuitive ways of thinking. This embraces the twin aims of education for career and education for leisure and involves the cultivation of musical, artistic, craft and manual skills and the study of languages other than English.

4. That Mazenod will develop through instruction in, and provision of, a wide range of sporting and physical activities, an awareness of the importance of physical fitness and good nutrition as significant elements in healthy living.

5. That Mazenod will develop skills of analytical and critical thought and emphasise the value of learning as an ongoing factor in self-development throughout life. This requires the promotion of good study methods in order that a student’s full potential be realised.

6. That Mazenod will provide suitable guidance to students in subject selection throughout their school life and especially adequate career guidance.

7. That Mazenod, particularly in its teaching of the humanities subject, promotes an appreciation of Australia’s culture and history as well as those of other societies and systems.

COMMUNITY Aims and Objectives Mazenod sees itself as being a community co-operating together, witnessing to Gospel Values and responding to a call to service and responsibility to others.

This means, we engage in the: 1. Provision of pastoral care to the individual student.

2. Cultivation of a friendly and caring atmosphere.

3. Cultivation of community by maximising personal communication between staff and students and among staff, students and parents.

4. Development of an attitude of co-operation with, and sense of belonging not only to the school community but also related to community groups. This includes involvement with wider and different community groups, e.g. Parish, local social organisations and organisations with different concerns such as Red Cross Appeals; St. Vincent de Paul Society, etc.

5. Promotion within Mazenod’s Community of an appreciation of the family as the basic unity of society, as the source of its being and that in responding to each student, we respond to this basic community.

6. Cultivation of loyalty and solidarity of students towards the College.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT Aims and Objectives “The Catholic School is committed to the development of the whole man, since in Christ, the Perfect Man, all human values find their fulfilment and unity”.

This implies the following objectives: That Mazenod seeks to develop the individual character and personality of each student, his sense of dignity and selfworth by promoting in each student: (a) self reliance and self discipline; (b) personal initiative and capacity for leadership; (c) reliability, honesty and integrity.

That Mazenod seeks to promote in each of its students: (a) tolerance and respect for others and others’ opinions, beliefs and cultures and especially those of their fellow-students who come from diverse cultural backgrounds; (b) sensitivity to other peoples’ needs, and respect for their rights and property; (c) responsiveness to the call from every part of the world for a more just society; (d) an appreciation in students of their total environment, physical, cultural and spiritual with its accompanying responsibility to safeguard and promote it.

COLLEGE VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT Leave Nothing Undared for the Kingdom of God Vision Mazenod College is a Catholic boys’ secondary school striving to live the charism of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Centred on the person of Jesus Christ, our community is built on faith, nourished by the Eucharist and seeks to live and share Gospel values in word and deed.

Mission Mazenod College is committed to the pursuit of excellence in the intellectual, social, moral, spiritual and cultural development of each student according to his unique capacity. Each person at Mazenod is encouraged to contribute to a welcoming and caring community in collaboration with our local Parishes.

Guiding Principles 1.

Let us be united in the love of Jesus Christ

We seek to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Saviour, and to see people and the world through His eyes. By regularly turning our hearts and minds to Him, and by opening ourselves to the gift of the Holy Spirit, we seek, like Mary Immaculate, to receive God’s holiness and bring it to reality in our daily lives.

2.

Be a burning flame not a smouldering wick

We serve to light the fire inside our students, fostering a burning desire to achieve academic excellence and to cultivate their abilities to the fullest. We see education as a lifelong process of formation in the truth, not just a moment in time, encouraging our students to be the flame, continuously burning brightly and sharing their talents.

3.

We have but one heart, one soul

We strive to nurture a friendly and caring school, enabling students to develop a sense of loyalty, solidarity and service. We provide pastoral care and encourage participation in all aspects of College life. Nourished by the Eucharist, and led by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, we believe that once a student enters the College, he and his family become part of our community for life.

4.

Learn who you are in the eyes of God

We aspire to instil in all people the knowledge that God’s unconditional love is real and everlasting. Through the creation of an inclusive community and an environment that is conducive to students discerning their unique worth in the eyes of God, all members of the Mazenod family are free to flourish and grow.

5.

Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve

We endeavour to emulate St Eugene de Mazenod’s model of standing with the poor in our community and beyond. Acts of service are a key component of an education at Mazenod. On their journey, our students recognise their call to bring the transforming presence of Christ to the world.

THE OBLATES OF MARY IMMACULATE The Oblates of Mary Immaculate (O.M.I.) were founded as a Religious Congregation in 1816 by the vigorous 34-yearold Father Eugene de Mazenod. He came from the stock of French nobility, but offered his life to God as a priest, and as the leader of a small band of priests who set about restoring the damages done to the faith of the French peasants by the bloody and anti-Christian French Revolution.

In his own lifetime his Oblates (i.e. men who offer themselves to God through Mary Immaculate) had grown to a 4500-strong Religious Congregation in the Church, and were missionaries in the pagan civilised countries of Europe, among the races of Africa and with the new settlers in the Americas. The Oblates came to Australia in 1894, just 34 years after their founder, who became Bishop de Mazenod of Marseilles in France, had died. He was declared Blessed by Pope Paul VI and, in a wonderful celebration on 3rd December 1995, at which this College was represented, he was declared a SAINT for the whole Church - and a mentor, guide and protector of youth - by Pope John Paul II. The Oblate Feasts 17th February On this day in 1826 the Oblates became a Religious Congregation in the Church when Pope Leo XII officially recognised them. On that occasion he declared that the Oblates were “the specialists at the most difficult missions” on account of the zeal they had already shown to carry out their programme and motto: “He sent me to bring the Good News to the poor”.

8th December On this day in 1854, the ageing Bishop Eugene saw the culmination of the work of a committee to which the Pope had appointed him to examine the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of our Blessed Mother (i.e. that Mary was conceived free from Original Sin). He was present in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome to hear the Pope pronounce that this doctrine was a Dogma to be believed in Faith by the Catholic Church. It was a second cause for the deepest joy to the weary Bishop de Mazenod: it was under that very title that he consecrated his Congregation of priests and brothers to the Church some 38 years before.

21st May - Feast of St. Eugene de Mazenod Eugene de Mazenod was born in France on 1st August 1782. In 1811 he was ordained a priest. Named Bishop of Marseilles in 1837, he fully realized the Episcopal motto which he had chosen: “He sent me to preach the Gospel to the poor”. As he lay dying on 21st May 1861, he said to the Oblates about him: “Practise amongst yourselves charity, charity, charity and zeal for the salvation of souls”. Many favours have been attributed to his intercession. The Holy See has now declared that the Feast Day of St. Eugene de Mazenod is to be celebrated on 21st May each year.

COLLEGE HISTORY A Catholic Secondary College to serve the boys of the Clayton/Springvale/Waverley region was the vision of the Parish Priests of the area (Frs. Lombard, Coghlan, Ryan and Gavin O.M.I.). These far-sighted men realised that the area, which was largely paddocks in 1960 was going to grow into lively suburbia. They started, even then, to plan for a College. The result of their early action was that when the school was a necessity in the late 60’s they had already done much of the ground work.

On Tuesday, 7th February, 1967 Mazenod College started. Due to a very tight financial position the school had humble beginnings. It commenced in two classrooms and with 79 students at St. Joseph’s Primary School, Springvale.

In 1968 it moved to its present sight in Mulgrave. By 1973 the College had 570 pupils, the current enrolment is about 1,400. Such an increase in student numbers has been made possible by many extensions to the building facilities which have also enhanced the range of subjects and activities available to students.

The College expanded to the other side of Kernot Avenue in 1984 when the Manual and Fine Arts Complex was opened.

The School Library was built in 1987 when, with the addition of the Lecture Theatre and Year12 Complex, the O’Rourke wing opened. A new Staff and Conference Room were added in 1992 to cater for the needs of an expanding staff.

By the end of 2006 construction of a new Complex catering for Music, Drama and IT Music and Technology Complex was completed. It is in commemoration of those who, as the plaque says, “By their faith and determination made Mazenod a reality”.

For this reason we have called it the Founders’ Complex. It is our act of appreciation and recognition for those pioneers, who in difficult times, launched Mazenod College. There were four Parishes, Fr. James Fitzpatrick O.M.I, the Founding Rector, and the courageous and faithful parents.

There is an ongoing programme to ensure that our facilities are of the highest standard. © Mazenod College

MAZENOD COLLEGE HOUSES The Mazenod Community is organised into eight Houses. These Houses are named after outstanding Catholics who have been ‘Heroes’ in the practice of their faith. Six are Oblates and two are women who worked in the Australian Church.

Father Charles Albini OMI (1790-1839) Born in Italy, 26th November 1790, he is known as the apostle of Corsica where he spent his life educating men for the priesthood and preaching missions.

Brother Anthony Kowalczyk OMI (1866-1947) Born in Poland but spent most of his religious life working near Edmonton, Canada. He was a man of great Faith and prepared to work at whatever he was requested to do by his superiors. He was known for his devotion to the Blessed Mother of God. Caroline Chisholm (1808-1877) Born 30th May 1808. Caroline migrated to Australia and was known for her work with young migrant women seeking employment. She is an example of a Catholic lay person responding in a heroic manner to help people in need.

Blessed Joseph Cebula OMI (1902-1941) Born in Poland, 23rd March 1902. During World War II the Fascists prohibited him from ministering the sacraments. By day he was forced into hard labour, but at night he said Mass and ministered the sacraments. He was executed by Nazi soldiers in a concentration camp at Mauthausen on 28th April 1941.

Blessed Joseph Gerard (1831-1914) The saint of Southern Africa. As a young Oblate he arrived in South Africa in 1853. After experiencing failure in his mission among the Zulu people, he was successful in establishing the Church in Lesotho.

Bishop Vital Grandin (1829-1902) Born in France in 1829. In 1854 he was sent to work in Canada and at the age of 28 was made Bishop of St Albert (now the Archdiocese of Edmonton). His career of priestly and humble charity was wholly devoted to the Indians. The Indians said of him “If God is as kind as the Bishop, he must be a very kind God.” Blessed Mary MacKillop (1842-1909) The first Australian saint was born in Melbourne, 15th January 1842 and died 8th August 1909. Mary was the apostle of Catholic education especially for children in the outback and those who were poor. She founded the Sisters of St Joseph.

Bishop Ovide Charlebois (1862-1933) Ovide Charlebois was born in Oka in Canada on 17th February, 1862 and at the age of twenty entered the Oblate novitiate. In 1887 he was ordained a priest and sent to the missions of the west. For sixteen years he lived alone at Cumberland working amongst the Indians. Named Vicar Apostolic of Keewatian in 1910, he laboured at the difficult task organising his vast vicariate with humble yet indomitable patience and courage until he died a holy death on the 20th November 1933.

He believed that one needed daring to be a Saint. For his Episcopal motto he chose: “To Jesus through Mary”.

MAZENOD COLLEGE HOUSES The Mazenod Community is organised into eight Houses. These Houses are named after outstanding Catholics who have been ‘Heroes’ in the practice of their faith. Six are Oblates and two are women who worked in the Australian Church.

Father Charles Albini OMI (1790-1839) Charles Albini was born in Mentone, Italy in 1790. He was raised a Christian and began his priestly vocation in 1807, in spite of the French Revolution and the death of his parents while he was in his teens. He was ordained a priest and began his parish ministry in Mentone before becoming a teacher of theology at the main seminary in Nice, France where he met Eugene De Mazenod. He was inspired by Eugene’s missionary zeal and decided to join him in the Missionaries of Provence. He moved over to Aix en Provence where he played a fundamental role in the process of the Missionaries of Provence being recognised as an official Congregation. He was sent to Corsica in 1835 where he established a new community, the first outside of France and through his work, became known as the Apostle of Corsica. He became gravely ill in 1838, but this did not deter his eagerness to look ahead to more missions. Illness prevailed in the end and he died in 1839.

Brother Anthony Kowalczyk OMI (1866-1947) Anthony Kowalczyk was born in 1866 in Poland as the sixth child of twelve. At age 20 he went out into the world to find work as a blacksmith apprentice, eventually finding himself in Germany where he first met the Oblates. He soon entered the community and became a lay brother in 1892. He always dreamed of working for the missions and was finally sent to the northern missions in Canada where he worked with the indigenous people. However, he was not prepared psychologically for the radical change, having moved from the quiet and ordered life in Europe to a place where everything was foreign. This struggle tormented Anthony and he became consumed by the desire to escape back to his country. Unfortunately, he was severely injured in an accident while working at a sawmill and had to have his hand amputated. However, this incident allowed him to open his eyes to the grace of God and he remembered how he dreamt of working for the missions. This internal change allowed him to accept the grace of salvation and allowed him to fight his struggle with his desire to return to Europe.

Caroline Chisholm (1808-1877) Born in England in 1808, Caroline Jones was raised on a farm and grew up as part of the Church of England.

She became convinced over time that God was calling her to dedicate her life to the people in need. She married a Roman Catholic named Archibald Chisholm, who promised to support her in her goal to help people who needed it. They eventually moved to Australia. Here she observed how immigrant women were shown no concern for their welfare - physically, materially or morally. So she opened up a ‘Home’, providing temporary shelter young girls and found employment and suitable homes for them to go to. This service expanded to struggling immigrant families, from which she became known as the ‘immigrant’s friend’. She returned to England, where she continue to help immigrants gain passage into the country and reuniting families who had been separated. She founded the “Family Colonisation Scheme which made it possible for the migration of whole families in a well-equipped and supported way. Eventually returning to Australia, she continued her work until her death in 1877.

Blessed Joseph Cebula OMI (1902-1941) Joseph Cebula was born in Poland in 1902. He entered the seminary in 1920 and was ordained a priest in 1927. He became Novice Master in 1937 and was known by his fellow religious as a man of great kindness and prayer. Unfortunately, the next few years were a time of great turmoil for Poland with the beginning of World War II. In 1939, his community was placed under House Arrest and in 1940, the community was evicted and the novitiate was turned into a centre for the Hitler Youth. Throughout this time, Cebula risked his life by continuing to minister to the people, saying Mass and hearing confession. On several occasions, he was called before authorities for refusing to stop. He was eventually arrested and sent to Mauthausen Concentration camp.

Even here he continued to serve, and as a result was beaten and ridiculed. He was eventually killed 1941 by a volley of shots that tore through his head and shoulders. His perseverance to serve through severe oppression is something he will be remembered for.

MAZENOD COLLEGE HOUSES

Blessed Joseph Gerard (1831-1914) Joseph Gerard was born near Nancy, France on March 12th, 1831. He spent his childhood on the family farm and with help from the Parish Priest, commenced his studies for the priesthood. At age 22, St. Eugene sent him to the mission of Natal in South Africa, never to see France again. Here he began his journey through the difficult countryside, sleeping in the open, learning new languages and dealing with extreme heat and cold. He successfully established the Church in Lesotho which today is home to many seminaries, a University founded by the Oblates, high schools and hospitals to name a few. He continued to preach and care for the sick, pushing through severe arthritis and loss of most of his eyesight, right up until his death at age 83.

Bishop Vital Grandin (1829-1902) Vital-Justin Grandin was born in France in 1829. He was ordained a priest in 1854 and was soon sent to Canada where he served the community at St. Boniface, Manitoba. He was instrumental in establishing the Catholic Church in Western Canada and was eventually appointed Bishop to the newly-created diocese of St. Albert. He presided over the development and expansion of his diocese, founding new missions and churches and supporting the construction of hospitals and schools. He struggled with his health for the majority of his life and even had a speech impediment. This did not stop his work and he persevered to establish the Diocese of St. Albert. He died whilst in office in 1902.

Blessed Mary MacKillop (1842-1909) Mary Mackillop was born in Fitzroy, Victoria to Scottish parents. She was well educated by her father. Unfortunately, she spent most of her childhood living with friends and relatives as her family did not have a permanent home.

At age 16, she worked as a clerk, as a teacher and as a governess to her uncle’s children. It was through her uncle that she met Fr. Julian Tenison Woods who needed help with the religious education of children in the outback. However, due to her family’s dependence on her income, she was not able to follow her dream. With great encouragement from Father Woods, Mary opened the first St. Joseph’s School in Penola. Young women joined her, starting the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The sisters spread across outback Australia and into the major cities, expanding overseas soon after. Mary along with the Sisters had a profound impact on Catholic Education in Australia. She was criticised by many outside the Church and even inside the Church but refused to attack those who undermined her work. She eventually died in 1909 in North Sydney.

Bishop Ovide Charlebois (1862-1933) Ovide Charlebois was born in Oka, Canada in 1862. At age 20, he joined the Oblates and was ordained in 1887, after which he was sent to the missions in Fort Cumberland. He lived alone for 16 years where he served amongst the Indians. He became Bishop of Keewatin in 1910 and began the difficult task of organising his vast vicariate, travelling by dogsled and canoe to reach his pastoral visits. He carried his own supplies, slept on the ground and served Mass under a tent. He often went without meals in order to serve his people. He continued his humble and patient work until his death in 1933. He believed that one needed daring to be a Saint. For his Episcopal motto he chose: “To Jesus through Mary”.

Eating and Drinking in the Classrooms With the exception of wet weather programmes students are not permitted to eat or drink in corridors or classrooms. Water bottles are not permitted to be taken into classrooms except on “Ties Off” days. Chewing gum is not permitted anywhere on College grounds.

Uniform Considerations Students are not only expected to wear the correct uniform but they are expected to wear it correctly. Untucked shirts and scruffy appearance will not be tolerated. After school detentions will be scheduled for those who infringe.

Shaving Students are required to attend school cleanly shaven. Students who breach this rule will be required to shave and will be charged $2 for the shaver.

Haircuts Students are required to wear a suitably clean, tidy and neat haircut. Extensions, colouring, undercuts and “un-tapered mops” are unacceptable. If it is necessary for a teacher or a Year Level Coordinator to tell a student to get a haircut it is expected that he attends to the matter before returning to class. As stated in more detail on the intranet “Judgement on acceptability of passing fashions will be made by the Rector.”

Change to Mobile Phone Policy An amendment to the phone policy is that students may be permitted to use his mobile phone in class for educational reasons. Such a circumstance is an exception made by the subject teacher conducting the class and it is only permitted to be used for the purposes as stated by the teacher. Examples of such educational purposes could include: 1.

Taking a screen shot of the whiteboard notes.

2.

Recording a discussion in a language class.

3.

Videoing an activity such as a skill being done in music or sport.

4.

Researching using an App. Unauthorised use of a mobile phone will result in it being confiscated and locked in the College safe as per consequences stated on the policy – “Use of a Mobile Phone Application”.

Student Drivers Students who wish to drive to school require a “Permit For Student Driver” form that requires permission from the families of other students who intend to be passengers as well as the driver’s family. There are several conditions designed to minimise potential risk to the driver and the passengers. There also considerations regarding parking and the safety for our pedestrians around the College grounds.

Other Traffic Matters Our neighbours are normally very patient. The northern side of Murdoch Ave is a Permit Zone. Please do not drive down the lower end of Murdoch Ave to drop off your son. The Council have fined people for doing so and we have reminded students on several occasions to tell their parents to drop them off in Monash Drive. They can walk the few hundred metres and it is safer and more convenient for our neighbours and staff / students cars that are permitted to park on the southern side of the street.

Other students are being dropped off on Brandon Park Drive or in the Monash Gardens Car Park which is accessed from Wellington Road. Both safer options and helps minimise congestion.

Except for evening functions Kernot Ave is out of bounds. On these occasions parents are welcome to access the car park under the Provence Centre and other car parks located on the southern side of Kernot Ave. Anti-Bullying Policy The College has an Anti-Bullying Policy that applies to all members of our community.

Drugs and Alcohol The rules and issues associated with smoking, alcohol and illegal substances are detailed on the College Intranet but there are also useful links in the Student Welfare Section of the diary. The College has very clear policies regarding the person who provides drugs for others and for those who use illegal substances. On occasions the College will provide Drug Education material to parents and we encourage families to discuss the issues openly.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PLAGIARISM POLICY INTRODUCTION Mazenod College (College) is a Catholic Secondary College for boys located in the Melbourne Archdiocese.

RATIONALE The purpose of this policy is to set standards of behaviours that are consistent with the broader values and expectations of the College Community and Society in general.

POLICY OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS The College encourages current and prospective students to understand: • Academic integrity; • Cheating, plagiarism and collusion; • How to avoid academic dishonesty; and • The consequences for academic dishonesty, plagiarism or collusion.

POLICY PURPOSE The purpose of the Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Policy (Policy) is to: • Outline the process for resolving cases of alleged plagiarism and/ or collusion; • Provide guidelines on how cases of alleged academic dishonesty, plagiarism and/or collusion are addressed by the College; and • Foster student responsibility for academic integrity.

WHAT IS ACADEMIC INTEGRITY • Academic Integrity is approaching school work and academic responsibilities in a moral and ethical manner.

Breaches of Academic Integrity include: • Cheating or seeking unfair advantage in exams, formal tests and all academic tasks; • Plagiarising the work of others, including making changes to words in a paragraph/s copied from another person/source in an attempt to claim ownership of the work; and • Colluding by providing work to other students or verbally assisting students to obtain an unfair advantage.

WHAT IS CHEATING Cheating occurs when an individual knowingly submits the work of another individual and claims the work as their own. When an exam or assessment is submitted, this signifies the desire to dishonestly claim the contents of another individual’s work as their own original work.

Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to, the following: • Copying another student’s work in any formal assessments, such as an answer to an essay question, any written assignment, or an entire exam, with or without the other student’s knowledge; • Copying answers found in any external sources, such as entering the question into a search engine and copying the response found online; • Collaboration between two students, which results in the submitting of identical answers in any assessments; • Using online translators for assignments in language courses; • Taking hidden notes into exams or assessment tasks; and • Accessing any digital sources of information in any formal assessment.

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM? Plagiarism occurs when a person presents someone else’s words or ideas as their own without acknowledging the source of the words or ideas. Students of the College are responsible for ensuring that all written assessment is their own work and the APA Referencing model is utilised to acknowledge the work of others that is being quoted. Avoiding plagiarism is the responsibility of all members of the Mazenod community.

Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to, the following: • Using the ideas or writing of another person without acknowledging the source through citations; • Claiming another person’s work, or part of their work, as their own; • Inappropriate paraphrasing of another person’s quotes or text; and • Use of someone else’s work as their own without acknowledgment, including in published materials beyond assessments in the classroom, such as literary competitions, scholarship applications, anthologies, the College Newsletter, the Mazenodian and the College Website.

How to avoid Plagiarising: • Students should never copy and paste from a book, online source, or a friend. Students must ensure the information is always expressed in their own words; • Students may discuss work with classmates if permitted, but should write independently in their own words; • Students should record references to all quotes and ideas as they are written; • Students should not ask other students for their work; • Students should not give other students the opportunity to copy work; • Students should start assignments early and plan ahead to ensure there is not a temptation that results in plagiarised content; and © Mazenod College

•

Students should seek advice from teachers using their own drafts.

WHAT IS COLLUSION? Collusion occurs when more than one student contributes to a piece of work that is submitted as the work of another individual. Individual work should be entirely the work of the student submitting that work.

Examples of collusion include, but are not limited to, the following: • Submitted work for assessment that has been completed by another person; and • Sharing questions and answers to a test on a forum site.

How to avoid Collusion while helping other students: • Students should not ask another for work; • Students can discuss work with other students, but not distribute an electronic or hard copy; • Students can give assistance to others verbally, helping to consolidate their own learning; and • If a classmate asks you for an assignment, politely refuse.

Consequences will apply to you as well, if your work is copied.

SUPPORT TO AVOID CHEATING, PLAGIARISM AND COLLUSION Regardless of the situation, resorting to plagiarism, cheating or collusion only makes the situation worse.

There are many ways to get help including attending Homework Club or Study Hall to receive a teacher’s help, requesting an extension of time from the teacher, discussing with another person if you are under stress including your parents, teacher, Year Level Coordinator, Dean of School or School Counsellor.

SENIOR STUDENTS (VCE AND VCAL) In Years 11 and 12, the issue of plagiarism and cheating is very serious. The consequences are dire and the administrative arm of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), including its legal department, investigate all instances of cheating and plagiarism thoroughly and vigorously.

As already mentioned, students need to ensure that • All unacknowledged work is their own; • All resources that are utilised (including texts, websites and source material) are acknowledged; • The name of any student who assisted in the production of the work is provided; • The nature and extent of the assistance is acknowledged; and • No undue assistance is provided by another student, tutor or another individual in the preparation or submission of work.

It is permissible for a student to • Incorporate ideas and other material derived from other sources (for example reading, note taking or viewing ) as long as it has been transformed and processed by the student into his own new context; and • Incorporate reviews by an external person when drafting, which leads to further self-reflection or self-correction.

CONSEQUENCES OF CHEATING, PLAGIARISM AND COLLUSION IN THE VCE In all suspected cases of cheating and plagiarism the matter must be referred to the Principal who will determine the sanction to be applied.

These may include, but is not limited to, a score of zero for the piece of work, the “S” grade being cancelled for the Unit or the matter being referred to the VCAA. The VCAA in their deliberations have the authority to cancel grades, withhold scores and inform VTAC to recalculate a student ATAR. In ALL cases of cheating and plagiarism, the other student who knowingly enables the perpetrator to cheat or gain an advantage will be treated in the same fashion as the one who broke the rules.

All students are reminded that they sign a VCAA General Declaration at the start of each year that states they are in full knowledge of the consequences of cheating and plagiarism and that they agree to abide by the rules of the VCAA and the home school in relation to all aspects of assessment.

CONSEQUENCES OF CHEATING, PLAGIARISM AND COLLUSION IN YEARS 7-10 Breaches of Academic Integrity are recorded on the student’s academic and administrative record. Consequences are determined by the Deputy Principal – Students, College Deans and/or Year Level Coordinator. These punishments may include but are not limited to: • A zero result for the task; • Resitting the task to a satisfactory standard to demonstrate his own understanding; • Receiving an N result for the task; • The subject teacher contacting parents and the Year Level Coordinator to notify them of the offence; • The student being issued with an after school detention; and • A formal interview with parents in cases of multiple breaches.

RESILIENCE AND RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS Building Resilience (Andrew Fuller – The Resilience Project) Building Resilience involves creating the three things every parent wants for their child, every teacher wants for their students, and every community wants for its young people.

This is for children and teens to have: Safe, Healthy and Fulfilling lives.

Resilience is the ability to draw upon the strengths within yourself and around you to flexibly respond to life while remaining true to yourself and creating positive relationships with others.

The more Resilience our students have the more likely they are to have a safe, healthy and fulfilling life.

Respectful Relationship Education An initiative for schools to address the problems of Family Violence. The programme is in response to the Royal Commission into Family Violence (Recommendation 189)

15

Š Mazenod College

RESILIENCE AND RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS Whole School Approach The programme is integrated into our Personal and Social Learning Programme and has 6 components.

1. Support for Staff and Students.

2. Community Partnerships 3. Teaching and Learning 4. Leadership and Commitment 5. School Culture and Environment – Code of Practice 6. Professional Learning Practice.

What are we trying to achieve?

1. That every student understands what abuse is.

2. Our students aspire to be ethical young men who are respectful in their relationships with women.

3. Our students have a healthy and positive identity, consistent with Gospel values, who genuinely respect all in our community, in our families and in the broader society.

4. Our students are empowered to challenge aggressive and disrespectful behaviour.

Everyone’s Responsibility - examples Student - student relationships – Anti Bullying Policy Staff - student relationships – classrooms are safe learning environments where any form of ridicule is unacceptable.

Parent - staff relationships – work together to mutually support their son’s complete education. There is no place for aggressive and intimidating behaviour.

MAZENOD COLLEGE HOMEWORK GUIDELINES Homework is considered to be an integral part of the teaching and learning program, supports the development of sounds study attitudes and habits and is considered valuable for developing an individual sense of responsibility and self-discipline.

The school believes that homework serves a number of purposes including: • Developing positive study habits and subject working skills • Reinforcing and enriching work undertaken in class • Providing parents with an insight into the work covered at school and providing feedback to teachers • Preparation for assessment tasks and exams Parents are asked to support this ethos and to provide good study facilities at home for their children.

A suitable study space includes:

A dedicated desk that is kept tidy

A quiet place to study, away from distractions such as TV’s, phones and computers

A comfortable chair with good back support

A lamp or light that falls on the desk and does not shine in the students eyes

A book shelf or space for resources Somewhere to place or pin up a study planner or homework timetable, key dates, revision materials and reminders.

The homework guidelines vary from year to year, gradually increasing from years 7 to 12. Ranges are indicated to allow for individual differences and some increase during the year and at exam time.

Individual students have different patterns each week depending on other commitments and may complete fewer sessions with slightly more time or vice versa.

Homework should be noted in students’ diaries and regularly monitored. Time guidelines include school related reading and other activities.

Homework activities include: set homework, research, reading, spelling, language practice, assignments and assessment tasks, revision, exam preparation, exam and assessment task practice. There is no such thing as ‘no homework’.

Starting in year 9, one (or later two) weekend sessions should include some regular revision, summarising and exam preparation.

A weekly homework/study timetable can be a great help to many students, and can be a brief overview or outline of the week or a more detailed breakdown of the students use of the available study time, depending on the needs of the individual student. Homeroom teachers can assist in the preparation of a homework timetable.

7 subjects * 2/2.5 hrs week = 14-17.5 hrs

12

7 sessions * 2.5 - 3 hrs

20+ hrs

5 subjects * 4 hrs week = 20 hrs

If a student is needing to complete more that the upper limit of these guidelines on a regular basis, they should consult with their homeroom teacher and/or Year Level Coordinator who can advise on ways to manage and reduce homework loads and who can liaise with the student’s subject teachers.

Detailed suggestions for Years 7-9: Year 7: 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes per week night (5 sessions) Students should aim to commit equal homework time to each core theoretical subject (Religious Education, English, Mathematics, History, Science, Italian/Japanese/Mandarin) over the course of a week. Each student must consider his individual timetable, but each night should have at least 4 to 5 blocks of 15 minute sessions in order to cover each subject of that particular day. In the event that one subject has very little homework, this frees a student up to spend more time on another subject (or and extended assignment) for the evening. A student should take a 5 - 10 minute break between each block or pair of blocks each night.

Year 8: 1 hour 30 minutes per week night (5 sessions)

(possibly up to two hours on one night a week depending on timetable) Students should aim to commit equal homework time to each core theoretical subject (Religious Education, English, Mathematics, History, Science, Italian/Japanese/Mandarin) over the course of a week. Each student must consider his individual timetable, but each night should have at least 4 blocks of 20 minute sessions with 10 minutes for reading/spelling/rote learning language phrases and no more than 6 blocks of 20 minutes on any one night. In the event that 5 or 6 homework sessions are required in any one night, the 10 minute of reading etc is given to one of the other subjects. A student should take a 5 - 10 minute break between each block or pair of blocks each night.

Year 9: 1 hour 30 minutes per week night (6 sessions)

(possibly up to two hours on one night a week depending on timetable) Students should aim to commit equal homework time to each core theoretical subject (Religious Education, English, Mathematics, History, Science, Italian/Japanese/Mandarin) over the course of a week, and a similar amount of time to other theoretical electives (such as Geography, Financial Literacy, Forensic Science, etc). Each student must consider his individual timetable, but each night should have at least 4 blocks of 20 minute sessions with 10 minutes for reading/spelling/rote learning language phrases and no more than 6 blocks of 20 minutes on any one night. In the event that 5 or 6 homework sessions are required in any one night, the 10 minute of reading etc is given to one of the other subjects. In Year 9, some nights will be very light for homework due to a student’s choice of electives, this does not mean the student should have the night off, but rather this allows them to take the pressure off another night by spreading their homework load across a week. A student should take a 5 - 10 minute break between each block or pair of blocks each night.

The final date to change a Semester 2 Unit is Friday 25th June. .

A student must notify the VCE Coordinator if he changes his address, to ensure VCAA and VTAC are informed.

attends at least 90% of scheduled classes. can authenticate all submitted tasks.

The onus is on the student to prove that the work is his own. This can be done by: - completing tasks during class.

If a student is graded N for a unit, the student can appeal the decision. The student’s appeal application must be received in writing by the principal with 14 days of the student receiving notification of the result.

EXTENSIONS Extensions must be applied for before the due date. If you are ill in the period leading up to the due date, you must contact the VCE Coordinator to arrange the extension.

SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF VCE SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR EXAMINATIONS Students who are affected by illness, permanent disability or impairment can apply for other special examination arrangements. These include, extra time, rest breaks, enlarged examinations and use of computers. Applications for Special Arrangements must be made to the VCE Coordinator by Friday 5th March .

RESULTS VCE results will be posted to students on Monday 13th December . These results can also be accessed via the telephone or the internet.

The VCE is awarded solely on the basis of satisfactory completion of units.

To satisfactory complete each unit a student must demonstrate achievement of each of the outcomes for that unit. This is done only through completion of designated assessment tasks.

Achievement of an Outcome means: • The assessment task work meets the required standard.

• The assessment task work was submitted on time.

• The assessment task work is clearly the students own work.

• There has been no substantive breach of rules If all outcomes are achieved, the student will receive an S for a unit.

There are two types of tasks used to assess achievement of Outcomes.

1. SACs (Assessment completed in class time) The majority of assessments in the VCE are completed in class time. They must be handed up at the end of the scheduled class time. Attendance at these assessments is therefore crucial to a student’s success. In the case of absence from a SAC the following rules apply: • If the absence is school approved (medical certificate, family emergency, unavoidable school related approved by Rector), the student will have the SAC rescheduled and it will be scored. In the same cases when the SAC cannot be rescheduled the student will be given an estimate score.

• If the absence is not approved, the student will have the SAC or similar SAC or some other work rescheduled as soon as possible. This will NOT be scored. It will be graded NA but must be completed in order for the student to demonstrate achievement of the Outcome.

2. Assessment tasks completed in class and at home.

Some assessment tasks are completed over longer periods of time, including at home, with a final due date.

Final submission of these assessments on the due date is therefore crucial to a student’s success. In the case of nonsubmission on the due date the following rules apply: • Students may apply for an extension of up to 2 days. Applications MUST be made prior to the due date. Applications are made on a form obtained from the Coordinator. Possible reasons for granting of an extension would include school approved absence.

• If no extension application or approved absence, the student must submit their work ON THE DUE DATE even if incomplete. No further work submitted after this will be scored.

Assessment tasks/SACs that are unsatisfactory.

Once a student has completed the SAC work or submitted the extended task, the teacher will assess the work and determine whether the student has demonstrated achievement of the relevant outcome(s). If they have not, they will receive a written ‘N Warning’ letter (also sent to parents). Students will be given one further opportunity to demonstrate achievement of the outcome. This could be resisting the same SAC or a different SAC, completing additional work on the same task, completing extra work at school or at home, attending an interview, etc. The teacher determines the appropriate time frame for this – typically within 7 days. This will not be scored, but must be completed in order for the student to demonstrate achievement of the Outcome.

If the students still do not demonstrate achievement of the outcome, they will receive written notification of a ‘Provisional N’ for that unit (also sent to parents). The unit failure (N) is provisionally awarded, however: • Students may have the ‘Provisional N’ redeemed with appropriate behaviour and completion of all work during the semester, and/or demonstration of improved understanding on the final exam.

• Student may have the unit failure ‘N’ awarded at the end of the semester if the demonstrate no improvement or with further unsatisfactory or incomplete work in that semester.

All outstanding class work, homework and assessment task work must be submitted by the final semester date as published in the diary. Final decisions regarding the awarding of N are made after this.

LEADERSHIP AT MAZENOD As a Catholic School our Leadership Model is based on the person (humanity) of Jesus and the Gospel Values. Everyone in the College is called upon to lead every day as we try and build community according to those values. We are called upon to respect, nurture and love each other as Christ has shown us.

There are opportunities for students to be elected to leadership roles during their time at the College. Mazenod provides programmes that requires everyone’s involvement and there extra curricula programmes that are optional for students.

When students leave the College it is hoped they understand what their responsibilities are to the extended communities and we hope the students understand how they can impact their Parish community. Global Community, their work environment, their Digital Community and their physical environment in a positive powerful way.

A DEFINITION OF CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP “Leadership is achieving greatness by bringing out the greatness in others. Leadership is about magnanimity (greatness) and humility (service). Leadership is a moral a moral exercise, a way of being.”

This quote from Alexandre Havard, of the Havard Virtuous Leadership Institute (hvli.org), highlights that leadership is ultimately about who we are as persons. What we do can only ever flow from who we are. Any act of Service must be rooted first of all in the transformation of the self. This is accomplished above all having a vision of the human person that is consistent with the ultimate reality, and then working to develop the human virtues which bring the reality about – magnanimity, humility, courage, self-control and justice. These virtues are all oriented towards the good of others.

Christian Leadership, and not only that which is oriented towards matters of faith, is founded therefore not primarily in principles or values, but in the Person of Jesus Christ. As the Second Vatican Council proclaims, it is only Christ, who, “by the revelation of the mystery of the Father and His love, fully reveals man to man himself and makes his supreme calling clear.” (Gaudium et spes 22) The dignity and purpose of man is therefore only fully realised in communion with Christ.

This Christian anthropology is the foundation of leadership at Mazenod, and from it the model of humble servant achieving greatness by bringing out the greatness of others is derived.

FORMAL LEADERSHIP AT MAZENOD Students can nominate themselves and be elected to various leadership positions during their time at the College.

These Include: Year 12 School Captain, Vice Captains and Head Prefects

SENIOR SCHOOL STUDENT EXPECTATIONS It is expected that every student will undertake each of their subjects to the best of their ability. In order to do this, the following guidelines must be adhered to.

ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to attend sufficient class time to complete work. This is to be at least 90% of all lessons in each subject. Attendance is monitored each lesson and reported to parents. Whenever a student knows they will be absent from class for any reason he should notify his subject teachers prior to the date.

1. After a student has missed 8 lessons for any reason (doubles = 2 lessons), students receive a verbal warning from their teacher or coordinator. More than 20 minutes late counts as an absence.

2. Further absences must be ‘approved’ as one of the following: • Unavoidable school related absence (sports, choir, excursions etc).

• Medical absence with a certificate.

• Genuine family emergency (parents notify Year Level Coordinator).

3. After the next non-approved absence student receive a written ‘N Warning’ (sent to parents).

4. With further non-approved absence, students are in danger of receiving written notification of a ‘Provisional N’ for that unit (sent to parents). The unit failure (N) is provisionally awarded, however: • Students may have the ‘Provisional N’ redeemed with NO further non-approved absence in that semester and appropriate behaviour and completion of work.

• Students may have the unit failure (N) awarded at the end of the semester with further non-approved absence in that semester, inappropriate behaviour or non-completion of work.

APPROPRIATE CLASSROOM BEHAVIOUR AND COMPLETION OF CLASS WORK AND HOMEWORK: All students have the right to complete their studies in the best possible learning environment, all students are expected to take thorough notes and participate fully in class activities, and all students are expected to complete all designated homework to the best of their ability.

Therefore students who behave in class in ways that disrupt other students learning or who do not complete designated work may: • Receive a verbal warning from their teacher and/or Coordinator and Parents informed by phone.

• Receive a progress concern letter referring to inappropriate classroom behaviour, completion of homework or class work, deadlines, quality of effort.

• Receive a detention to complete work (Thursday or Saturday).

Inappropriate behaviour and non-completion of work will be recorded by teachers and coordinators, and will be referred to should a student be called to a promotion interview at the end of the year and may a factor in a student being denied the right to proceed to the next year level.

PROMOTION POLICY: Students must achieve 55% in the majority of their end of year exams (at least 5 out of 7 subjects) in order to proceed to the next year level automatically. Students who do not achieve 55% on 5 or more exams, or who wish to study a subject in which they achieved under 55%, will have to attend a promotion interview. These interviews are typically with the student, his coordinator and the Deputy Principal (Students). The panel will then determine if the student is eligible to proceed to the next level, or a combination of levels, or even repeat a leave, and which subject(s) they can take. The panel will liaise with the subject teacher and take into account: • Exam performance.

• Assessment task results and satisfactory completion of units.

• Classroom behaviour record and effort made towards the completion of class work and homework.

• The students attendance record.

• Pastoral concerns.

DEBATING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING The ability to collaborate, communicate and create are skills which are coming to define the 21st Century workplace. In 2021, students from Year 7 to 12 will have many opportunities to hone their oratory skills.

Mazenod students compete annually in the largest debating competition held in the world, run by the Debating Association of Victoria (DAV). Additionally, Mazenod participates in the annual Associated Catholic Colleges Competition (ACC) in Debating and Public Speaking for students in Years 7 to 10. A host of other competitions which provide the chance for Mazenod students to showcase their skills include the VCAA Plain English Speaking Award (PESA) and the Mazenod House Public Speaking Competition.

We look forward to building on the success of 2020, which included regional wins in the DAV competition, advancing to state finals in the DAV competition and winning both the Intermediate ACC Debating and Public Speaking Competitions.

Check the Daily Newsfeed on your laptops for details of when meetings and sign-up opportunities will be held. Alternatively, see Ms Caird in the Yr. 11 Coordinator’s office or email her on jcaird@mazenod.vic.edu.au. You can also refer to the Co-Curricular tile on MazCom.

12 ENSEMBLE & SOLO PERFORMANCE NIGHTS Each unit of the senior Drama course requires the devising and presenting of performance SACs For the YR 12 class these are presented to family and friends on performance nights just prior to formal assessment.

Unit 3 Drama includes group performances in the form of the Ensemble Performance SAC Unit 4 includes individual performances based on prescribed criteria set by VCAA as part of the end of year solo examination.

The festival is organised and run by our senior students and supervised by Drama staff. Students are responsible for all aspects of the festival from publicity and rehearsals through to running the actual night itself.

The Performing Arts Festival is a great platform for showcasing the diverse range of talents that our students have including acting, dance, music, comedy, singing and playing music. For more information closer to the event contact Miss Kamevaar.

FAITH AND MISSION A Student’s Prayer (by St. Thomas Aquinas) Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom!

Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance. Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer For Athletes Thanks God, for giving me life; and talents for my participation in sports. Help me to play well, to use my powers to the full, to see them as gifts from you. Be with me when I need to play hurt, when I have to deal with the pain of injury, disappointment, loss. Keep me aware of the brotherhood/sisterhood I have with all athletes, even when they are opponents; free me from the temptation to fake, to foul, to cheat. I need to see that dedication to the cause will mean suffering, but let me know that it is the kind of suffering that leads to new life and greater maturity. Help me play with heart, and never lose heart. Most of all, help me never to quit in my efforts to be open to you. For I believe your full coming into my life is the way to real life, in all I do; I believe it is the way of my becoming the truly human person you destined me to be. Amen.

Our Father Our Father, Who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Prayer for Peace (Saint Francis of Assisi) Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life. Amen.

Prayer in Time of Need Jesus, do not leave me alone in suffering. You know, Lord, how weak I am. I am an abyss of wretchedness, I am nothingness itself; So what will be so strange If You leave me alone and I fall? I am an infant, Lord, So I cannot get along by myself. However, beyond all abandonment I trust, and in spite of my own feeling I trust, and I am being completely transformed into trust, often in spite of what I feel. Do not lessen any of my sufferings, only give me strength to bear them.

Do with me as You please, Lord, Only give me the grace to be able to love You, in every event and circumstance. Lord, do not lessen my cup of bitterness, only give me strength that I may be able to drink it all. Amen.

The Learning Centre provides the following services: • Homework Program • Reading Program • Lunchtime support • Literacy Support • In-class Support • Numeracy Support ALL Mazenod Students can access the services of the Learning Centre.

Homework Program runs on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:15pm - 4pm. There are teachers and support staff to help all students with homework for all subjects. We are also open before and after school for students who wish to study. Attendance permission forms can be obtained at Student Counter.

We are open Monday to Friday from 1pm – 1.25pm for lunchtime support. Teachers and support staff help students with class work and homework for all subjects. Students are welcome to study and work independently in the Learning Centre at lunchtimes.

Literacy support is provided to students in lieu of a Language. These sessions are run by specialist Literacy Support teachers and focus on comprehension, language, reading and grammar.

Registration Form available under Student Links_Diary on the LMS. Also available at the Student Counter TUTORING Mazenod has clear policies regarding tutoring.

1. College staff are expected to be a resource for students but student expectations must be reasonable. Teachers have many students in their care, so responses to questions raised electronically cannot be answered immediately and there may be occasions when appointments are required to meet students, in order to conference them with their studies. It is understandable that teachers cannot always meet the 1 on 1 tutoring demands that students may be seeking. Mazenod staff members are not to be employed as tutors on a formal basis for Mazenod students.

2. Many past students have registered an interest to do part time work as a tutor. Families that have utilised such resources often find them very helpful. In fact we have tutors visiting the College after school to assist students with their studies.

The following conditions exist if the tutoring is on campus.

• Tutor must have a Working with Children Check.

• Tutor must register his name in the visitor’s book and tutor in an agreed location.

• Tutoring is 1 on 1 assistance. No-one is to conduct an unauthorised class at the College without the consent of the College Rector. A class is defined as instruction of two or more students.

• Tutors are required to adhere to copyright regulations regarding published texts and respect intellectual property.

• The College respects the independent nature of the contractual arrangement between the family and the tutor. The tutor is not an employee of the College and as such we encourage each tutor to publish his references and rates on the intranet so that parents can make informed decisions before employing his services. © Mazenod College

CAS CALCULATORS Mathematics as a subject has come a long way in the last 10 years. CAS (Computer Algebra System) technology has become an integral part of the learning of key skills in the subject. Here at Mazenod, from Year 9, we use the Texas Instruments Nspire CX CAS (see image). We recommend that all students purchase their CAS through the College as we get a good deal through our long time supplier and can pass those benefits on to families CALCULATOR TROUBLESHOOTING: Click here for troubleshooting help.

NUTRITION NUTRITION AND HEALTHY EATING Nutrition plays a vital role in the development of a healthy body and mind. Click here for more information on the Australian Dietary Guidelines.

In addition to following a balanced diet, it I important to limit the amount of high energy sugary snacks and drinks consumed on a regular basis. These foods provide little in the way of nutrition but contribute greatly to the overall energy intake. When energy output is not balanced by energy intake weight gain will occur.

The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, aims to make choosing food high in nutrients, easier for all Australians. As people grow and age, the amount of nutrients required from each of the 5 main food groups changes. Below you will find a brief outline of each of the food groups.

• Vegetables and legumes/beans: Vegetables provide the body with vital vitamins and minerals and should be consumed daily. To ensure you are receiving the required vitamins and minerals, consume a variety of different coloured vegetables, as each vegetable provides a unique mixture of nutrients.

• Fruit: Like vegetables fruit provides the body with necessary vitamins. Where possible whole fruit should be consumed and the consumption of juice limited.

• Milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives: are the body’s primary source of key minerals essential for bone growth and development. Ensure adequate dairy consumption during teen years to promote good bone health in later life.

• Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds and legumes/beans: Protein sources that allow the body to grow and repair, as well as providing some essential nutrients not easily found in other food groups. This food group also contains nuts and fish; foods high in omega 3s- nutrients vital for brain growth and development.

• Grains (cereal) foods: Grains provide the body with carbohydrates, which are the body’s preferred source of energy. Consuming adequate amounts of grain allows the body to maintain energy levels and optimal function and performance.

To find out how much of each food group you should be eating visit Eat for Health.

WATER AND HYDRATION THE BASICS Water is one of the most essential components of the human body. Water composes more than half of the human body, it is impossible to sustain life for more than a week without it.

Water must be consumed to replace the amount lost each day during basic activities. It is recommended that women consume 2.5 litres daily and men consume 3.5 litres through various beverages (80%) or in food (20%). The best way to maintain hydration is to drink water.

Active individuals need even more, particularly if they’re exercising in hot weather. This is especially important during the 24 hours prior to vigorous exercise. You can meet your body’s water needs over the course of a day through a variety of fluids and foods including juices, smoothies, tea, lemonade, soups, fruits and vegetables. In one hour of exercise the body can lose more than a litre of water, depending on exercise intensity and air temperature. If there is not enough water for the body to cool itself through perspiration, the body enters a state of dehydration. For endurance athletes, or those active in warm to hot environments, electrolyte replacement also plays an important role in any hydration strategy.

Dehydration For regular exercisers, maintaining a constant supply of water in the body is essential to performance. Dehydration leads to muscle fatigue and loss of coordination. Even small amounts of water loss may hinder athletic performance.

In a dehydrated state the body is unable to cool itself efficiently, leading to heat exhaustion and possibly heat stroke.

Without an adequate supply of water the body will lack energy and muscles may develop cramps. To prevent dehydration, exercisers must drink before, during and after the workout.

Fluid Balance and Replenishment It is important to drink even before signs of thirst appear. Thirst is a signal that your body is already on the way to dehydration. It is important to drink more than thirst demands and to continue to drink throughout the day. One way to check your hydration level is to monitor your urine. It should be plentiful and pale yellow unless you are taking supplements, which will darken the colour for several hours after consumption.

During exercise, water is the best fluid replenishment for most individuals, although sports drinks help replace lost electrolytes during high intensity exercise exceeding 45 to 60 minutes. Individuals who sweat profusely during exercise and whose sweat contains a high amount of sodium (you may notice salt stains/rings on your athletic wear) should choose sports drinks and ensure that their diet contains adequate sodium, potassium and magnesium to prevent hyponaetremia (water intoxication).

Contrary to popular belief, scientific evidence suggests that moderate caffeine intake does NOT compromise exercise performance or hydration status. However, alcohol consumption can interfere with muscle recovery from exercise and negatively affect a variety of performance variables. © Mazenod College

SLEEP Adolescents need between 9 and 10 hours of sleep every night. Regularly not getting enough sleep results in chronic sleep deprivation. Even an extra 30 minutes of sleep per night can make a surprising difference.

THREE MAIN CAUSES OF CHRONIC SLEEP DEPRIVATION Hormonal time shift Hormonal changes during puberty shift the adolescent body clock forward by 1 to 2 hours, making them sleepier 1 to 2 hours later than normal. This time shift has a knock on effect throughout the adolescent’s day and with school starting around 8:40, it often makes it difficult to get the optimal 9 -10 hours of sleep.

Use of Technology/Screen time Computers, tablets, mobile telephones, television etc. are engaging sources of technology that we use for social interaction and entertainment. The screens on mobile phones, televisions etc. make use of ‘BLUE SCREEN’ technology, which can interrupt and delay sleep because the brightly lit screen urges the brain to stay awake, curbing the natural urge to sleep by preventing production of melatonin - the neurotransmitter responsible for sleep.

Hectic after-school schedule Homework, extra-curricular activities, sport, part-time work and social commitments can all cut into an adolescents sleeping time.

EFFECTS OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION • Concentration difficulties • Memory impairment • Moodiness, aggression, depression • Increased number of ‘sick days’ from school because of tiredness or truancy • Risk-taking behaviour • Clumsiness; may result in physical injuries • Reduced academic & sporting performance

MORE INFORMATION ON SLEEP • Better Health - Teenagers and Sleep • Better Health - Sleep Hygiene SLEEP HYGIENE The term SLEEP HYGIENE relates to the habits that help you to have a good night’s sleep. By establishing good habits, you can vastly improve your sleep quality.

Sleep Hygiene Strategies THINGS TO TRY • • • •

THINGS TO AVOID

Establish a nightly bedtime routine.

Although it takes time to develop, it prepares your body for sleep.

Try relaxation/meditation exercises to calm your mind & body.

Turn off all screens 30 mins. before bed.

Turn your alarm clock to the wall or place your phone face down and out of arms reach (preferably turn it off). Watching time tick by is counter-productive.

If unable to fall asleep after 30 minutes, get up and do something else for 30 minutes e.g. reading.

Avoid using screens as this will re-engage your brain.

SLEEP ENVIRONMENT • • •

© Mazenod College

Caffeine Avoid caffeinated drinks (tea/ coffee/cola/chocolate) after 2pm.

Consider warm, milky drinks - milk contains a sleep enhancing amino acid.

Exercise Although daily exercise is important, ensure exercise is completed well before bedtime.

Food Avoid eating a large snack or meal close to bedtime. Undigested food can make it harder to fall asleep.

Cigarettes Nicotine is a stimulant and therefore likely to keep you awake for longer.

Alcohol is a depressant that disrupts sleep patterns, thus waking up and not feeling refreshed.

BODY CLOCK

Ensure your mattress is comfortable and that your room is the right temperature, dark enough & quiet.

If you can’t control external noise (e.g. barking dogs) use earplugs.

Use your bedroom, or at the very least your bed, only for sleeping. If you treat your bedroom like a second lounge room i.e. using devices , gaming, communicating with friends via social media etc. your brain associates your bedroom with activity and not rest.

Get up at the same time every day including weekends and holidays. Try not to not stay in bed for more than 1- 2 hours past your usual wake up time. This will help ‘set’ your body clock and you’ll find yourself getting sleepy around the same time every night.

Don’t ignore tiredness - go to bed when your body tells you it is tired.

Attempt exposure to early morning sunshine; light during early waking hours helps to set your body clock.

HEALTH CENTRE At the Health Centre, a Division 1 Registered Nurse experienced in emergency care and adolescent health is available between 8:30am and 3:30pm each day. Teachers and support staff trained in first aid are available at other times during the school day, on excursions and on camps.

Please ensure student medical information is entered online via the parent portal to assist us in providing the most appropriate care. Inform the nurses of medications your son requires. It is usual for students who have asthma to carry their own reliever medication such as Ventolin in their pockets. Diabetic students need easy access to their diabetes action kits. Other medications should be kept at the health centre to be dispensed rather than with students.

This helps to prevent medications being lost, or misused by others. Nurses may dispense over the counter medications (for example, paracetamol and antihistamines) as deemed appropriate, unless parents request otherwise in writing.

Please let the College know immediately if your son develops chicken pox/ varicella, shingles or measles. Other students may be receiving medical treatment which increases the risk of complications from these infectious illnesses.

Students sometimes suffer from illness or injury during the school day. Parents will be contacted when necessary and may be asked to collect students from school. We do not have the capacity to nurse students throughout the day when they are not fit to participate in their usual school activities. Exceptions to this include students who are undergoing rehabilitation and transitioning back to school after absence, and students managing chronic illnesses.

Parents, please keep your contact phone numbers up to date, including at least a third contact person for times when you are unavailable.

Management plans are prepared for students with serious allergies who may be at risk of anaphylaxis. An Anaphylaxis Kit containing an ASCIA Anaphylaxis Action Plan (recent photo please) signed by your doctor, and an adrenalin auto injector (such as EpiPen) must be at school for your son’s use in an emergency. Students take their “home” kit to all offcampus and out of school hours activities. Please refer to the College Website for the Anaphylaxis Policy.

The nurses have a network of resources, support groups and information available to students and parents. Please contact us if you have any queries or concerns regarding your son’s health or welfare. This can be done by phone on 8561 1159 or through use of the parent portal via the school website.

SPORTS INJURIES Information on preventing and treating injuries, such as the RICER technique.

Rest the injured site, apply cold/Ice pack, apply Compression bandage usually with a bandage, Elevate the affected limb, Refer to a health professional such as a doctor or physiotherapist.

WATER AND HYDRATION BASICS Water is one of the most essential components of the human body. Water regulates the body’s temperature, cushions and protects vital organs, and aids the digestive system. Water not only composes 75 percent of all muscle tissue and about 10 percent of fatty tissue, it also acts within each cell to transport nutrients and dispel waste. Water composes more than half of the human body, it is impossible to sustain life for more than a week without it.

Water balance in the body impacts every physiological function in the body. Adequate hydration maintains proper function of the kidneys, colon, brain, cardiac system, blood vessels, and joints, and ensures adequate nutrient availability for all cells in the body.

Water must be consumed to replace the amount lost each day during basic activities. It is recommended that women consume 2.5 litres daily and men consume 3.5 litres through various beverages (80%) or in food (20%). The best way to maintain hydration is to drink water.

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL LEARNING THE VULNERABLE ADOLESCENT During adolescence the brain is undergoing significant growth and development. As such, the brain is being ‘shaped’ by a range of factors that can have a profound effect on an individual’s cognitive functioning and emotional wellbeing.

It is contended that the 21st century adolescent is being subjected to a range of ‘shaping influences’ that are profoundly different to those experienced by previous generations. Some of these influences include: • Dietary changes.

• An expediential increase in access to information technology. This has provided young people with a gateway to instant and continuous gratification for little effort.

• The growth in celebrity culture.

• An increase in materialism.

• Overprotective parenting styles.

• A decline in religiosity / spirituality.

Within this context, young people appear to exhibiting declining levels of resilience. This decline may, in part at least, explain the rising rates of mental health issues (e.g. anxiety and depression) within developed countries.

THE ICEBERG MODEL Mazenod seeks to develop fully the intellectual, moral, creative, spiritual and physical potential of each young man in a disciplined, fair and challenging environment by a committed and qualified staff.

It is our hope to produce men, who as the College Motto suggests, are able and willing to enter into the wider community to share their full potential and ‘Leave nothing Undared for the Kingdom of God.” Jesus in the parable of the Talents, puts a similar challenge to his followers. “A land owner preparing to leave on a journey entrusts some of his possessions amongst three of his servants based on their abilities.

Two of the servants immediately set about making their wealth work for them while the third did not invest the money but rather dug a hole in the ground and hid the money. Upon the Masters return the first two greeted their Master eagerly to show off what they had made and duly praised as ‘good and faithful servant.’ While the third servant didn’t take the opportunity to make anything out of what he was given and in many ways went backwards. The Master describes him as an unfaithful servant and what was given to him was taken away and given to others”. (cf. Matthew 25:14-30) Challenging each of us to use our gifts and talents to their full potential.

The introduction of our Personal Social Learning Program aims to optimise the performance of each young man.

Mazenod College in partnership with parents seek to give every opportunity to our young men to reach their potential and to develop the personal resilience to leave Mazenod entering the wider community with the skills to “Leave nothing Undared.”

Fr Christian Fini OMI Rector The PSL programme is not designed to replace the many opportunities the students have within the curriculum and the many other activities available to the boys at Mazenod. It is a programme designed to create awareness and have them focus on optimising performance whether it be in their studies; on the sporting field; as part of an ensemble, or in the area of community service. At times students “go through the motions” when it comes to study or applying themselves to tasks. Hopefully learning outcomes will be enhanced by the programme. There are times when the boys could be better organised and more attentive to the details of life and needs of others, eg. Homework, study, communicating notices etc. The programme is designed to improve resilience so the boys have the emotional skills to respond effectively to life’s setbacks. Being more resilient, accepting rules and regulations, learning to establish positive relationships, will not only assist them during secondary school but will form the foundation for their journey once they leave school and are required to take even greater responsibility for their decisions.

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL LEARNING OPTIMISING PERFORMANCE: Developing Emotional Intelligence & Building Resilience It is argued that the central quality that enables us to access the qualities and skills that are a part of the ‘submerged iceberg’ is – Resilience.

THE ROLE OF RESILIENCE Research indicates that an adolescent who is emotionally intelligent / resilient is more likely to: • Experience higher levels of emotional wellbeing • Exhibit higher levels of academic achievement (Waters, 2011, p. 77) • Avoid risk-taking behaviours (Murphey, Barry & Vaughn, 2013) • Be equipped “with the higher order cognitive, social and emotional skills that allow them to connect meaningfully with their communities” (Waters, 2011, p. 76).

WHAT IS RESILIENCE? “Resilience refers to the capacity to respond, endure, and / or develop and master in spite of experienced life stressors.” (Mandleco & Peery, 2000).

WHAT ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF RESILIENCE? Research has identified a number of characteristics of adolescents that are associated with resilience. These characteristics include: • Emotional Self-Regulation (e.g. self-awareness, emotional calming skills, etc.)

• Rational Thinking Skills (e.g realistic / helpful interpretations of events and circumstances) • Cognitive Skills (e.g. intelligence, good judgement and problem-solving skills) • “Inner-directedness” (e.g. a sense of purpose accompanied by confidence and determination) • An awareness and appreciation of strengths and talents • Relationship Skills / Social Competence • Parenting Practices • Relationships with caring adults • Religiosity or Spirituality.

Murphey, D., Barry, M. & Vaughn, M.S. (2013). Positive Mental Health: Resilience. Child Trends: Adolescent Health Highlight.

(January).

THE PERSONAL AND SOCIAL LEARNING PROGRAM Mazenod College is currently developing an ‘evidence-based’ Personal and Social Learning Program (PSL) that seeks to assist students to become more aware of: • The important role resilience can play in helping them to access enhanced emotional wellbeing, performance levels and success • How they can build this capacity.

Consistent with its commitment to ensuring that this program is based on best practice, Mazenod College has recently entered into a partnership with Swinburne University.

• Take responsibility for your VCE – don’t blame others when things go wrong and accept responsibility for the results and consequences of the actions that you make. You need to develop skills in resilience and accountability so that you can eventually take pride in all the positive outcomes that come your way.

• Remember the word “Balance” – those who succeed best at their Year 12 do say because they strive for a balance between study, sport, family involvement, recreation (music, drama, TV etc), community involvement and paid work.

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL LEARNING Social Media provides so much information the most important skill young people have to learn is determine what information is true and what is useful.

Take your phone away from your son at night.

If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill) Mazenod College has a broad curriculum that provides so many opportunities for young men to explore and develop their talents and interests. Mr Noel Jenkinson Deputy Principal - Curriculum Plan for the unplanned, learn from failure, create networks and prepare for an ever changing journey.

Passion is the difference between a job and a career. Careers Young people need to remember God never abandons you and is there for you at the toughest times. Ms Tina Giacco As a society we are losing one of life’s most important ingredients - being connected – Lifeline Persistence, grit and determination are greater indicators of success rather than IQ and natural talent.

In this social media-obsessed age, we can create our identities and live vicariously through the lives we manufacture on social media. How can we achieve happiness and harmony between our real lives and our imagined ones, and learn to accept and embrace our own shortcomings? Dalia Lamai QUOTES I haven’t failed. I’ve identified 10,000 ways this doesn’t work. (Thomas Edison) I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that’s precisely why I succeed. (Michael Jordan) The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun. (Napoleon Hill [1883-1970]) We can either watch life from the sidelines, or actively participate...Either we let self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy prevent us from realizing our potential, or embrace the fact that when we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless. (Christopher Reeve) Inside of a ring or out, ain’t nothing wrong with going down. It’s staying down that’s wrong.

(Muhammad Ali) “I am more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with?” (Lionel Messi) © Mazenod College

Mobile Phone Policy Rationale Mazenod College acknowledges the growing use of mobile phones by students. When used correctly mobile phones can be a beneficial educational resource. The college also acknowledges some students may not yet have the moral development or social maturity to always make good and safe decisions. The safety and well-being of students and staff is paramount. The purpose of this document is to outline the conditions in which mobile phones can be used during school hours and events.

Concerns Regarding Mobile Phone Usage 1.

2.

3.

4.

 

Phones that are left on are a distraction to the owner and other students.

Valuable items that are not used directly for educational purposes should be left at home to avoid the chance of them being lost or stolen. As well as the personal cost and inconvenience to the owner, considerable time can be spent investigating a stolen/lost item.

Phones can be a distraction from studies.

Students should not be in a position to contact friends and acquaintances during school hours. Security is of great concern and incidents of contact with outside people or agencies could pose a threat to the general school community.

Mobile Phone Policy - Conditions of Use 1.

Any student wishing to bring a mobile phone to school is required to complete the Mobile

Phone Application.

2.

Mobile phones are to be turned off and put away between 8:30 and 3:10pm, apart from

the following instances, where expressed permission is given by the teacher in charge:

Examples of Educational Circumstances (for mobile phone usage): 3.

Recording a discussion in a language class.

4.

Videoing an activity such as a skill being demonstrated in Drama music or sport.

5.

Parents are requested not to contact their sons on their mobile phone during school hours

but by contacting reception.

6.

The phone is an item of considerable value. The student and his parents/guardians accept

total responsibility for its security.

7.

Details of the phone are recorded on the application and are stored for administrative purposes.

8.

The phone is only used for the reasons as outlined in the application.

9.

The use of photographic and recording facilities on the phone is strictly prohibited due to

legal and social reasons, except for educational circumstances where expressed permission

is given by the teacher in charge.

10. The secretive or unauthorised photographing or video recording of any member of staff at

any time is forbidden.

11. Unauthorised use of a mobile phone may result in its confiscation. If this happens phone will

be held in the college safe for a period of time, up to one week, before it is returned to the

student, or a parent/guardian is requested to collect it. Students will be given access to a

college phone if they need to contact their parents.

12. The college reserves the right to check a student’s phone at any time for inappropriate material.

13. In signing this agreement parents agree to support the decisions of the college for the

benefit of all members of the Mazenod community.
