We have had some special days at Wollemi over the last fortnight that I wanted to share. First, last Friday we received, within two hours of each other, the news of the arrival of baby Joseph to our own Mr James and his wife Monica, soon followed by baby Lucia to Mr Capistrano and his wife Joy. I was particularly moved by the genuine joy with which the news was received among our staff and students. Our warmest congratulations to both families and our prayers that both babies and mums continue to do well.

Speaking of mums, we had a wonderful group of mums at school on Monday for our Mother’s Day Mass and Morning Tea. It was really nice to see mothers and sons sitting together in the chapel, and it helped put into practice my advice to the boys at assembly last week: gratitude with deeds. We prayed together for the mums present and for all those who could not come. I know many boys also made the resolution to translate gratitude into helpfulness and good behaviour at home. A big thank you to Mrs Wiggins, Mrs Aguilar and Mrs Gonzaga for the big effort to put such a wonderful celebration together. Also a big thank you to our Year 6 mums (and a dad) who so generously organised and ran the Mother’s Day stall last Friday. I hope the offerings by our students, and their effort not to spill water, break a jar or damage the flowers, brought a smile to many mother’s faces during their special day last Sunday.

Another special occasion was the Primary and Secondary Cross Country carnivals held at school on May 2 and 3. Congratulations to all our place getters. I would like to especially acknowledge all those boys who pushed themselves beyond what they thought they could do. Many times I am asked why we have Cross Country at Wollemi when so many of us struggle with distance running. This question has enabled me to stress with our students how important it is to attempt things we consider hard. If we only attempted what we find easy and pleasurable, how limited our personal growth would be! On this occasion we were aided by Mr Bayliss’ flawless organisation and the efforts of our student marshalls, by the beautiful weather on both days, and most particularly by the encouragement received from the many parents who attended and the support students showed for each other. Well done everyone!

Finally, I was very fortunate to be able to travel to Melbourne to visit our sister schools of Pared Victoria- Harkaway Hills and Lysterfield Lake - and speak at their Term 2 KPF. It was very encouraging to see the original inspiration behind Wollemi and Montgrove take new shape among such an amazing group of parents. I was also reminded of our responsibility to stay true to the ideals that drove those first families in Western Sydney, and, as we continue to grow, never lose the enthusiasm they so generously displayed. We really do stand on the shoulders of giants. 

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at our Term 2 Key Parent Function to be held on Tuesday 30 May at 7:00pm (for a 7:30pm start) in the Montgrove COLA.  

James Ramos, Headmaster

Two weeks to finish Easter with Pentecost Sunday! May the Holy Spirit become our best friend!

And two more weeks of May to keep showing our affection to our Mother in Heaven!

In Wollemi we have the tradition of visiting a shrine of Our Lady on pilgrimage, to put in her hands all the intentions of our families… and to bring her flowers! Hopefully, we will have our Shrine in Wollemi ready before the end of May!

I hope all of our incredible Wollemi mums and mums’ mums were celebrated and treated like royalty on their very special and well-deserved day of recognition! I would like to dedicate this newsletter piece to my mum and the mums of Wollemi.  

At Wollemi, in our quest to help form young men of virtue, we often speak about the crucial role fathers play in the upbringing of their sons. An equally important role is the involvement mothers have in developing their little gentlemen. I lost my mother 10 years ago and, with regularity, I remind myself of the influence she had and, to this very day, has on my life. I am at my happiest when I am truly selfless and when I am of assistance to family, friends, my school community and even people I do not know. In an ideal world, I would always approach life in this manner 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While I try to maintain this mindset with consistency, there are times when I need a reminder or I require inspiration to ‘get back on track’. My reminder (through reflection) and inspiration, without a doubt, is my mum. My mum was a theatre nurse. She was born to help people. I have heard many stories of mum’s kindness, care and love as a nurse to those she knew and to those she did not. If mum was aware of anyone I may have known or was known to our family or friends, or friends of friends and was about to be wheeled into the operating theatre, mum would stop by to reassure them with a few words of wisdom, a hold of the hand or even a hug. Like she was for me, mum was there for everyone. Growing up, my house was a place where people felt comfortable, heard and loved. We would always meet at my place before going to kick the footy at the oval or ride down to the cricket nets for a session, not because it was the central location, it was because of my mum. The boys would want to check in with ‘Ruthy’, have a chat, a vent or a laugh and then get on with being a mate of mine. Mum had time for everyone and anyone. My mum was one of a kind. Why am I telling you this? Knowing our school community of mums, the love, the selflessness and care for their sons are extraordinarily clear. There may be times, especially as our boys get a little older, might not be reciprocated as often as it was in their younger years; however, as tough as it may seem at the time, please know, from my experience as a son, a mother’s love sticks and it stays with you. My mum's love will stay with me eternally and I know the same will be said for the love of your son. I can say with utmost certainty that, in your son’s eyes, you are one of a kind. Keep up the great work, mums! 

Week 4. That’s halfway through the 9 week term. Whilst being the shortest term, ‘Term 2 is quite an eventful one, with the Year 12’s mid year exams, Cross Country, and soon coming, Athletics Carnival, but because of its short duration Term 2 doesn’t get treated with the same value as the other terms.

Term 2 is easily the least appreciated term in a school year. Term 1 is the new beginning. Term 3 is the beginning of the second half or semester. And Term 4 is the finale. All three of those terms play the important role of setting up a good start, making sure you don’t slow down, and finishing strong. I find Term 2 also holds the major role of checking if you have maintained your good start and improving it.

I remember once in primary, after the first couple weeks of Term 2, my teacher asked our class to compare how our exercise books look now and how it looked at the beginning of the year. Although it isn’t a very long gap, as time goes you may lose many of the habits or features you usually meticulously ensure at the beginning of the year. For me, my handwriting slipped. I didn’t use as many titles. I stopped writing the date. These are only small differences but over time they will accumulate and lead to a substantial drop in the quality of your work. Term 2 is perfect for checking these features and correcting them. Any later and you’ll think to yourself, “It’s too late anyway.”

Not everyone can perfectly maintain a solid degree of quality and efficiency, especially after the holiday. And that’s alright. But if we are not actively noticing and fixing our slip-ups, then our pace will fall to achieve our goals.

I advise everyone to look through your earlier work and see if there is anything missing. Revisit your goals, and honestly evaluate if you are on track to achieving them. If you didn’t have the start you wanted, then use this term to set yourself on track. Do not underappreciate and waste this term.

Sourav S., Vice Captain

Congratulations to Lucas Ison (Year 10) who was presented with the Wollemi Man Award at our Secondary Assembly in Week 2 of this term. 

Lucas was awarded this accolade for his continued servant leadership and dedicated service he has demonstrated towards the School and his peers. Lucas freely volunteered his time, when many were in bed enjoying a public holiday sleep in, to represent the College at the recent St Mary’s RSL Anzac Day Dawn service. At the Cross Country Carnivals in Week 2, he offered his services to be the ‘official’ photographer for the day for both the Primary and Secondary Carnivals on a moment's notice. He even went a step further to curate and edit the shots taken! Lucas has demonstrated what true leadership and service are. It does not come from a badge on your shirt or an official title but rather from within.  Well done Lucas. 

Lucas will receive a Certificate of Recognition, 25 House Points for his House and a $20 gift voucher courtesy of Caddens Woolworths. 

Congratulations once again Lucas.

Wollemi School Captain Steve J. represented Wollemi at the Penrith City Council Secondary School Leaders Reception, where he was recognised for his outstanding leadership as School Captain for 2023. Great job Steve!

As part of their study into Earth's resources, Year 7 have completed experiments ranging from measuring water produced via transpiration from trees and electricity generation via a hand generator, to testing the water holding capacity of a range of soils as pictured below. 

For several years Year 7 students that have undertaken Science honours have attempted the national crystal growing competition with varying success (from participation to First Place in Australia). Last year's cohort was no exception, producing our highest proportion of Finalist crystals yet, the placing before national ranks. As part of this process, students were required to grow a crystal throughout Term 2, sacrificing at least two lunchtimes each week to tend to their saturated solutions and slow growing Alum crystals. 

Our Finalist Ranking students from last year were:

Reuven Esteban

Jonathan Joseph

Midhvanraghu Krishvi

Jacob Reynolds

Jeremy Song 

Below are our participants pictured just after a well earned pizza party

Year 7 (21 students) has made a mammoth task of trying to print six different relief stamps for Mother’s Day. Periods 5 and 6, on a sunny day, birds chirping, lawns vibrating from the construction beyond the eerie nook was year 7 on a mission to make a Mother’s Day present.

Using 6 different foam stamps the students made symbols of what their mom meant to them. Many of them made unique prints their moms could only know, others made stamps to show their moms how they feel about them, and others made a creative mess their teacher could never understand.

The day turned into a conveyor belt of creativity, as they pushed and studiously tried to finish their unique gift for the moms of 2023. With love in their hearts and the anxious inevitability of the deadline bell, they left the classroom with a smile, exhaustion, and a mess their teacher had to clean up.

One student, a boy who cannot be named said “I don’t even know how we actually got through this”. These boys grow up so fast, proud, and determined they ran out of the school gates. with a gift for the ages. 

Year 11 have started working their way through quantitative chemistry this term and have quickly realised that they are now reaching for their calculators as often as they are beakers. As part of their study into the mole concept and molarity, they have each produced primary standard solutions (solutions of accurately known concentration) and did so on their first try - well, most of them.

While Organic Chemistry (carbon-based chemistry) is known for its sheer amount of content, it also produces some of the most unique and rewarding experiments. In the last fortnight, we successfully performed two of my personal favourites. 

The first was to use Tollen's reagent to identify and contrast aldehydes and ketones, which we used to produce silver-plated beakers. The second is esterification, the process of combining alcohols with carboxylic Acids (like vinegar), to produce Esters (a class of chemicals known particularly for their flavour and scent profiles). We are in the process of purifying our esters currently, but they already smell correct, ranging from PVA glue to apricots. 

On Monday 15 May,  we were blessed to have over 60 mums and a handful of grandmothers join us at the College for our Mother’s Day Mass and Morning Tea. It was so wonderful to host these amazing ladies at the College and recognise the rich contributions they make to the lives of our young men and their families. 

The celebrations began with a Mass led by Father Felix. During our mass, Father Felix gave a beautiful blessing to all our mothers and grandmothers present. This was followed by a delicious morning tea with lots of goodies and sweet treats. It was so great to hear the vibrant conversation and laughter that filled the room. I know a number of mums who enjoyed the photos of the staff with their mothers, as well as the lovely messages posted up by boys that adorned the walls of the room. 

Thank you to all those mums who made the time to attend and to those families who made the many treats to share. A big thanks must also go to the ladies in the Front Office - Camille, Bless, Nancy and Ginny for all their efforts in organising this event, and to those mothers who helped Camille set up the room over the weekend. All agreed that the room looked absolutely amazing. Finally to all our Wollemi mums, thank you for everything you do for our young men. They are truly blessed to have you in their lives.  

The Mother's Day stall run by an army of year 6 Parents last Friday 12 May, has successfully raised $1,815.  Thank you for all your support. 

Funds raised as a result of this Year 6 initiative will go towards their gift to the College

On the 6th of April, Camp Yarramundi hosted the Year 3 Father-Son camp! Surrounded by the beauty of nature, the boys and their fathers were excited to be spending some important time amongst mates and dads for what proved to be a wonderful weekend.

The father-son duos were put to the test with the tricky Alpine Rescue, where teams had to work in tandem in order to save their 'patient' (which was a large barrel) and reach their safety point. Whilst no team was able to reach the desired destination, a lot of fun and laughs were had.

The 'Giant Swing' was the highlight for most of the boys, with many reaching the top for the terrifying freefall and some boys being brave enough to strap up and have a go. A highlight of this activity was the willingness of everyone to help each other get ready, with Joseph Sukkar happily helping many of the boys gear up. 

The traditional Dad/Son talks were followed up with a campfire under the stars, with Mr White leading Rosary. The dads then got together for a catch-up after the boys went to sleep (well, some of them) where many got to consolidate friendships and build new ones.

A great big thank you to Mr. Williamson for organising the days and activities seamlessly! Thank you to Arbie Mojica for leading the dad talks and lastly, a great big thank you to the sons for putting up with their dad's terrible sense of humour and eating most of the snacks. Looking forward to the next camp already!

The Young Healthy Minds Forum is an annual event that takes place at the Australian International College where our students had the opportunity to develop their own personal opinions and ideas on improving mental wellbeing at our school.

This was the first time ever that we have participated in the Forum and it proved to be a huge success. Students from the SRC as well as a broad cross-section of secondary students from various social groups were selected to attend, so as to maximize the impact of the event in the playground. With such a strong and diverse range of personalities, transportation felt more like an episode of The Odd Couple than a school excursion! There was a mixture of anticipation and consternation about how well the group would work together.

The Forum consisted of ice-breaking activities with other schools from the Hills district. The students had the opportunity to socialize and open up to students from many walks of life, who at first seemed to be strangers, yet eventually became friends. We listened to Matthew Caruana share his story of his attempt to end his life and the value of life. Our school also performed a role play in front of other schools communicating the idea of unmasking insecurities. 

I was blessed to be part of the Q&A platform, giving advice on how to deal with one's own personal mental struggles. When sitting with Mr. Jack Johnson, we both observed that our odd bunch of students was now slowly merging and uniting together. The students started working together, meshing more together and sharing their own personal faults and insecurities, and discussing how to deal with them.

The most important work of this forum is yet to come. I look forward to seeing the students further develop their ideas, and place it into practice on our campus.

Pared families have the opportunity to participate in a Holy Land pilgrimage organised by Terra Dei Tours in 2024. You should have all received an email during the Easter holidays about this proposed pilgrimage. Demand already has been strong so don't miss out on registering your interest by clicking here. More details can be found by clicking the pdf flyer below.

The school gates will be opened at 8:15 am and students are not allowed onto the school premises before this time unless there are co-curricular commitments. If you are dropping your child/ren off before 8.15 am, please remind them that they are to stay outside the gates until it is opened. 

A reminder that when collecting your child/ren parents can either:

• Park their car in the outside car park and walk into the school/pedestrian gate to pick up their child
• Use the car line process where your child will come to the car. 

To help with the flow of the carline and traffic in the area we kindly ask that: 

• If you are using the car line, we ask parents to not exit the car.
• Please collect your child/children from 3.25 pm and 3.45 pm when Teacher supervision ends.
•  Reminder parents NOT to park along Gipps Rd in the afternoon as it causes congestion and risks the safety of our students.

Last Thursday was like any normal day for Wollemi College, but for the teachers and the graduating class of 2023, it was the day to earn bragging rights. It is tradition in Wollemi culture to have a Teachers vs Yr12s game once a term, and this term was no different, with a game of futsal to kick off the best of 3 series. To save the teachers from humiliation, I will refrain from mentioning the scoreline, but it was great to see the strong and friendly relationship between our teachers and students. Necessary banter was thrown around, and the sportsmanship on display was nothing short of expected. A big shoutout to Mr Ison for a splendid goalkeeping performance for the teachers, saving shot after shot, and preventing the scoreline from breaking the double-digit barrier. Overall, the day was a great success (especially for the students) and we can’t wait to see the rivalry on the basketball court very soon for game 2 of 3 in the series. 

 House spirit and unity are such an important part of life at Wollemi. On Tuesday this week,  it was so great to celebrate our House Champions for Term 1 - Echuca - and to publicly acknowledge their achievements. The Wollemi House competition recognises all aspects of endeavour with boys being awarded house points for their contributions and efforts in a range of areas from sport to classroom application and achievements, behaviour and House competitions.  

Echuca boys in Years 2-12 enjoyed a can of drink and a well-deserved sausage sizzle - a welcome treat on a cooler autumn day. 

A big thank you to Simon Quinn, Echuca House Captain, and all the senior Echuca students who helped on the day to set up, cook and run this celebration. It is very much appreciated and ensured the smooth running of the event.  

Congratulations once again to all the Echuca boys. We wish all Houses the best of luck for the Term 2 House Competition. 

On the ninth of May a team of the current year six’s which included Viani Devine, Jesse Jordan, Francis Maklouf, Tristan Harrowell, Niko Bastak, George Matar, Daniel White, Ignatius Soriano, Elijah Baird, Matthew Chivinda, Thomas Portelli, George Hanna, Charlie Buhagiar, Benjamin Grus and Nicholas Cassar traveled to Jamison Park for the annual AFL Paul Kelly Cup. At 9:30 all the teams made their way to the synthetic grass where they explained the rules of the game. The Paul Kelly Cup is a day of AFL competition between Penrith schools and a few Blue Mountains schools.

On the day there were three boys' pools and one girl's pool of five teams who competed against each other the team that won the most would into the semi-finals and the best second-place team with the best point differential went into the semi-finals.

Our first game was against Blaxland East Public School, it was a tough game because when we tried to kick the ball down to our forwards, due to the wind the ball would always come back to us. This was changed at halftime when we were going the other way so the ball was getting down to the forwards. It was a very successful game.  We had won and everyone was so excited that we had won.

Our second game was against Blackwell Primary School. We were really energetic because we had won our first game. Their team was really tough. After we got the first points of the whole game we were really happy and thought that we would win. When it was the second half the other team got a few goals. Blackwell won but we still had faith.

The third game that we played was against Penrith Anglican College. We started out very well and continued to play strong. We kept getting the ball down to our forwards which was lucky. Near the end of the game, two of our players had hurt their legs. Luckily only one of our players was not able to play so we only lost one player.

The last team we versed was Wycliffe Christian School. We had won two of three games so we really hoped that we would win this one. At the very beginning we were tying with them so it was really close we got back and then overtook them by a lot and then won the game!

After the game, we then went to the synthetic grass for the referees to announce who was to go into the semi-finals. All the teams gathered into one group while we watched one person from every team compete in a fifty-metre race. Ignatius came third in the race. We all grouped together to hear who was going into the semi-finals. We thought that we had secured the last spot for the semi-final but it turned out we didn't make it to the semi-finals due to a lower points margin. We finished the day at about 1:30 pm. We were very happy that we had the opportunity to play in the Paul Kelly Cup. Everyone had fun and that is the main thing.

'Effort' is a word that best describes what we witnessed from so many of our Primary boys at the Cross Country. Regardless of whether they finished at the front, in the middle of the pack, or at the back, every boy who participated in the Primary Cross Country should be commended for the effort that they put in. In the weeks prior to the Cross Country, I witnessed many of the Primary classes getting practice before the big day. This certainly helped! 

Well done to Mr. Baxter for leading a fantastic assortment of games to go with our Cross Country. It really amplified the carnival feel and there was a buzz around the place for staff, students, and parents to see. 

Thank you to the parents who were able to come and support their son. This support definitely helped with the effort that they showed. 

We had many great runners on the day and a couple of really tight races. Congratulations to the following boys who won their race.

7 Years - Raymond Abi Khalil

8/9 Years - Kirbie Amituanai

10 Years - Oscar Baird

11 Years - Julien Mojica

12/13 Years - Thomas Portelli

Firstly, a big thank you to a number of Year 10 and 11 students who assisted in the running of both the Primary and Secondary carnivals. Without your help, it would not have been possible for both days to run as smoothly as they did. Well done and thanks again. 

Secondly, there were some outstanding performances in the Secondary Cross Country with some super tight finishes and some races that were won by a country mile. Congratulations to all the boys who qualified to represent Wollemi College at the Hills Zone Cross Country next week. In particular, to these boys who won their races.

12 Years - Klim Drozd
