Lasallian Institutions – Southern Cross Catholic College, Yourtown Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God. Good morning/afternoon to the council of the De La Salle Brothers, today I will be evaluating two current Lasallian missions and how they reflect the themes in Circular 461 in terms of a mission in a multi-faith world. Circular 461 was published as a guide line for non-religious people explaining Lasallian spirituality of faith, service and community. The two Lasallian institutions I will be talking about today are Southern Cross Catholic College and Yourtown, previously known as BoysTown. These Lasalian institutions reflect themes found in Circular 461 particularly those found in chapter 3. Lasallian family themes include …show more content…

There are three key words in Circular 461 which are multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic. Multi-cultural is simply a term which describes the cultural and ethnic diversity in society. We are, and will remain, a multicultural society (Department of social services, Australian government, 2014).This has a strong meaning in the Circular 461 document and this is because it shows that Lasallians do show interest in many other religions. Circular 461 uses the word unrepeatable quite a lot to describe every living person and this expresses how everybody has their own opinions and are unique. The theme for Lasallian women in the document recognise the distinct role and identity of women in the Lasallian mission, especially as catalysts for change. The critical role women play in the Lasallian mission was celebrated in Circular 461, which emphasises the importance of a more perceptive, comparative and community-centred approach to our work as Lasallians in the years ahead. The mission will help empower Lasallian women as they benefit from associating with others engaged in Lasallian workplaces, providing opportunities for mutual growth and support.

The College was founded in 1995, following the amalgamation of the Catholic primary and secondary schools in the Moreton Bay Region. Today, the multi-campus College operates as the principal Catholic College on the Redcliffe Peninsula. Southern Cross Catholic College has three campuses located in Scarborough, Kippa Ring and Woody Point; accommodating students in Prep to Year 6 and a fourth campus in Scarborough accommodating middle and senior year’s students from Year 7 to 12 (Southern cross Catholic college, no date). Southern Cross ensures a safe and loving environment for students and the community by providing guidance councillors, knowledgeable teachers and a friendly student community. Southern Cross Catholic College embraces many different types of religion not just a catholic based education. In chapter 3.2 of the Circular 461 document is states that “The new reality of Lasallian association in a multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and global context has common elements, even though Lasallians experience them in different ways. Two universal concepts however are essential, the relevance of human nature and the value of education” Southern Cross demonstrate this on a day to day basis this is because everybody has an equal opportunity, whether it be academic or

This just further engrained in the locals mind that the “heathens” could not grasp the concept of Christianity. Others became frustrated that when students went back to their “heathen” ways.

This was shown when it was proved that Women could do what men could do just as well. As a large portion of men left Australia to fight, many jobs crucial to Australia’s sustainability were left without people to fill them. As a result of this, women were given the opportunity to fill what most people in this era would call a “man’s job”, this advanced the position of women in society as it offered them a sense of independence. The popularly used poster titled “Join us in a victory job” (illustrated by Bramley Maurice), was used to promote the notion of working to Australian women. It gives the audience of Australian women a positive impression on the subject and encourages them to sign up for a “victory job”.

Throughout history, women have always played a helping role to a man. Women were not portrayed as. It was hard for women to get certain jobs, because they favored men. The Women’s Liberation Movement, pushed forward in advocating for women in jobs outside of what they are used to. Shirley Chisholm questioned the shortcoming of women in higher performing jobs, stating, “Why is it acceptable for women to be secretaries, librarians, and teachers, but totally unacceptable for them to be managers, administrators, doctors, lawyers, and Members of Congress?”

The Chicana Feminist movement was born as a reaction to the sexism of the Chicano Movement. Women were not seen as the real political subjects of the movement but as auxiliary members (Blackwell, 65). They were relegated to supporting roles in as cooks and secretaries and often their ideas were dismissed. Many women were told that “their responsibility is to love, work, pray, and help… the male is their leader, he is iron, not mush.” (Ruiz, 109) Women were also discouraged from taking leadership roles and were told to wait to fight for their cause at a later time for fear of dividing the Chicano movement.

“What happens when you are not taken care of properly, at work?” This is a question, Catherine Donohue and her friends/co-workers had to face, in Melanie Marnich’s These Shining Lives. I was amazed by the fact that the play is based on a true story about The Radium Dial Girls and their contributions to history. For director Sally J. Robertson to present it to the public is a constant reminder on how important the role of women has changed in society. After watching the play, it was incredible being both entertained and educated at the same time.

I’m Helen Robinson, Tom Robinson’s wife. There was a timeframe in the book just after Tom was killed, before Helen could find a secure way to earn money for her family; it was a very unstable time for her and her children. Although Helen is portrayed as meek and kindhearted, much like Tom, the overwhelming sadness and pressure may have caused her to break down emotionally, or feel some emotions of vengeance towards a majority of the white community; especially the Ewells. In the novel, the black church provides her with funding and support while Tom is in court.

Despite what some might think, the oppression of Indigenous people is still extremely prevalent today. In Canada, the historical treatment of Indigenous people has been particularly horrible. Indigenous people have faced hundreds of years of mistreatment and abuse at the hands of the Canadian government; although it may not be as obvious now as it was in the past, oppression and racism are still deeply rooted in modern Canadian society. The Outside Circle by Patti LaBoucane-Benson brilliantly addresses this. The Outside Circle is a graphic novel that centres around an Indigenous young man named Pete, living in Edmonton with his brother Joey, their mother Bernice and her abusive boyfriend.

Chicanas sought to have their own conference in 1971 in Huston Texas 4. A result of the conference was the creation of the “Workshop Resolutions” which aimed to address and correct sexism in the Chicano Movement 5. This conference was meant to be a similar process of the Denver conference, but rather than creating a sense of unity and belonging as the Denver conference had, it left many Chicanas feeling conflicted and confused. This was largely in part to the opposition that they faced from the invisible male leadership that largely rejected their calls for a more feminist approach to the current
