Julian Tenison Woods

children were well-educated by their father in their faith and school work. In 1850, she received her first Holy Communion. In 1861, Mary took a position as Governess at Penola Homestead and met Father Julian Tenison Woods for the first time. Not long after meeting Fr Julian Woods, Mary found in him a Spiritual Director and shared with him her deep desires and dreams to serve the poor in greater ways. Two years later, she was appointed a paid teaching position at Portland Catholic Denominational School. Mary continued her relationship with Fr Woods, who too, longed to serve better the educational and spiritual needs of the poor and was acutely aware of the ever increasing number of children growing up in the pastoralist areas of the growing colony of Australia. In 1866, Fr Julian Woods, Mary and her sisters opened a St Joseph’s School in a disused stable. On the Feast of St Joseph, Mary wore a plain black dress to indicate her devotion to God’s work. One year later, she opened the first convent-cottage in Grote Street, Adelaide. In 1871, Mary was excommunicated for alleged insubordination; most of the schools were closed and the Sisterhood almost disbanded, but a year later, the order was removed. Mary travelled to Rome to seek approval of rules for the Sisters written by Fr Woods in 1873. In 1891, Mary suffered the first of many bouts of serious illness, and died 18 years later, on the 8th of August 1909. Influence by Scripture: St Mary MacKillop had so much faith in God,…

167-168), Milton uses a metaphor to reassure his audience Lycidas is not completely gone. He compares how Lycidas sunk to the ocean floor to how the sun sinks into the horizon at the end of the day. However, the sun is not permanently missing, as it will rise again the next morning. In the same way, Lycidas is not permanently lost to this world. He will be brought back through the memories of his loved ones and readers. It soothes readers to know there is a way someone can come back, even after…

The Tschannen-Moran, Wilfolk Hoy and Hoy (2001) self-efficacy scale is considered a valid and reliable indicator of teacher perceptions of self-efficacy in the context of classroom management practice. Multiple preceding studies designed to measure teacher self-efficacy influenced the development of the Tschannen-Moran, Wilfolk Hoy and Hoy self-efficacy scale. These earlier attempts establish the research base for measurement of teacher self-efficacy, and the impact of self-efficacy on classroom…

Casey Cep, a writer for The New Yorker, wrote an article entitled “The Pointlessness of Unplugging”, which suggests that unplugging from technology is pointless because it is deeply embedded in our daily lives and we can’t function without it. In the conclusion of her piece she states, “Let’s not mistake such experiments in asceticism for a sustainable way of life” (Cep). Asceticism describes a lifestyle characterized by abstinence from worldly pleasures (greed, ambition, pride, sex and…

Between the years of 1914 to 1918, approaching 1 million British soldiers gave up their lives fighting for King and country (greatwar.co.uk). Wilfred Owens, one of the greater known first world war poets, was one of these. He died at the age of twenty-five, only a week away from armistice, leaving behind approaching 100 poems. Despite his early death, Owen’s poetry has immortalized him, passing to future generations both his experience and sentiments regarding the first world war. Like many at…

They, perhaps, look in the mirror and see only a human being, they do not see what Julian sees and they do not have to live in the world that society creates for him. If other family members don’t have the same self-image issues as Julian, it is likely that this will have caused him feelings of isolation. Laudat (2005) examined the connection between being a “mixed race” woman and experiencing depression. One of Laudat’s participants commented “there was no-one I could confide in about why I…

For my discussion post, I chose to talk about the industry of athletic development. Originally, the intentions of organized youth sports were generally good. As stated in the book, “postwar prosperity put discretionary income in the hands of parents who wanted to provide their children with opportunities that they had been denied growing up in a time of depression and war” (Davies, p. 361). In today’s society, this concept of organized youth sports has become somewhat corrupted in my opinion.…
