Principal’s Reflection

At our last College assembly, Rice House led the College in prayer. As is customary, each House, when they lead the College in prayer, commence with the story of their patron. The patrons’ stories are ones of courage, compassion, mercy, generosity, dignity, vision, justice, solidarity, liberation, and valour.

Blessed Edmund Rice was the founder of what became the Christian Brothers after whom Rice House is named, he had great compassion for people, especially the poor, identifying with Christ in the poor and marginalized. The students leading prayer identified that Blessed Edmund established a free school, in 1802, in Waterford, Ireland; it was for boys living in poverty; he fed them as their parents were too poor to feed them; and dressed them in suits made in the tailor shop he owned as they were cold, their clothes resembling rags.

The focus of the students’ prayer was the setting up of the schools to educate the poor boys, with Blessed Edmund Rice realizing that education was the key to escape a lifetime of poverty for these boys. This also was the founding of the Christian Brothers which has now become the Edmund Rice organisation.

In 2022, the Edmund Rice schools (Christian Brothers) are vastly different. They continue to be champions of the poor and marginalized, but the Christian Brother schools “look” very different today. The organization has always had a strong commitment to educating young men, but realize that the boys in their schools today, would be the lawmakers, the business owners, the doctors or, just as importantly, be contributing citizens in their communities. It is not so much that these schools teach impoverished students (however there are still those who do need assistance in some form in any school) but, through their social justice programs, the young men experience/witness the hardships many people suffer, and they learn not to leave behind the “lost, the least and the lonely.”

On Dan’s desk I came across a booklet, titled: 2021 Impact Report, a publication sent out by Edmund Rice Foundation Australia (ERFA). The report detailed all the projects this organization had undertaken in 2021.

Edmund Rice Foundation Australia worked across 7 countries: Australia, India, Kenya, South Africa, Philippines, Timor Leste and Zambia; they partnered in delivering 20 Projects; 51, 765 people directly impacted the lives of people and hundreds of thousands more indirectly; $2,078070 was disbursed for education to liberate lives; 661 people living with a disability were directly supported; 734 employed people in paid and volunteer work directly supporting communities; 27,457 women and girls were supported in education, economic empowerment, health, vocational training and mentoring.

Some stories:

Business start-ups for women:

• Women in Kibera are the backbone of their families and the community. However, a large percentage of these women living in in one of the largest slums in Africa rely on odd jobs to support their families. To secure additional income, women often set up a business.
  Through the Mirror of Hope, a women’s empowerment program, women’s lives are being changed in Kibera by equipping them with business-skills training and support. This has resulted in 145 women and eighty-three small businesses participating in the program.
  Women like Beatrice are now equipped with vital business operations skills and provided with a pathway to becoming self-reliant.

Cultivating success:

• In conjunction with ERFA, the Beans of Hope project was established in the Railaco villages in the Emera District of Timor Leste in 2015. In 2018, ERFA formed a new partnership with Mary MacKillop Today to provide additional support to farmers. Six hundred and fifty-five farmers who had previously learned about financial literacy and farming techniques are now learning new skills to support their families and community. Farmers are working together to create a bustling vanilla bean industry.

Community-Led maternal and child health:

• Nearly 40% of women in the Western Province of Zambia do not seek necessary health care assistance with devasting consequences. Working in partnership with the Ministry of Health, four hundred women and two hundred adolescent girls across three remote villages attended workshops focused on health education for pre and postnatal care, teenage pregnancy and general education relating to COVID -19, hygiene and sanitization practices.

Sudanese take refuge in education:

• Kenya has many refugees from neighboring countries torn apart by war. Despite their hardships, many refugees want to have an education, or continue with their education. Through Edmund Rice Catholic Education, students from Somalia, Sudan, as an example, were able to continue with their education.
  The Edmund Rice Community and Refuge Service in Victoria, Australia, provides educational support to those in need.

In the booklet, The Edmund Rice Foundation Australia it is stated that their VISION is: “….access to quality and lifelong learning opportunities for all, supporting empowered communities that determine their own future…” and that their PURPOSE: “….is to support the education of the most vulnerable…their focus on education includes life-changing learning opportunities for children, financial literacy, farming and trade skills, health and human rights services and advocacy for adults…walking with adults to sustainable change…”

Edmund Rice Education (EREA), founded by the Christian Brothers, have dedicated their lives to the service of others, particularly those at the margins of society. They work, not only in Australia, but across the world in areas of education, community engagement, faith formation and social justice.

This is a very brief snapshot of the work that continues through the Edmund Rice organization, begun from humble beginnings in 1802 in Waterford, Ireland.

We will collect a gold coin donation for their House charity.

We also ask that students do not bring school bags. They will not require books or laptops so a small bag that can be carried by student for the day containing lunch, hat, water bottle, sunscreen etc.

We have 2 very good presenters coming to Shalom, Katie and David Kobler. They will address some very real issues for young people. Year 10 will have their sessions on 29 August and these will take the entire day. Year 8 will have their session on 30 August in Periods 1 and 2.

This is what they are covering for Year 10 …

• Ingredients for a healthy relationships

• And other age appropriate issues

This is what they are covering for Year 8 and 9 …

• How to find, build and navigate meaningful relationships
• Where toxic versions of masculinity and femininity are rife, ways to formulate a healthy understanding of their own gender and identity.

I am sure you agree these are very important topics for young people to engage with. If you have a child in these year levels, please ensure they are in attendance on these days. If you require any additional information, please contact me.

Bundaberg Groups Eisteddfod 2022

Shalom smashed the competition at last week’s Bundaberg Groups Eisteddfod. There was not one section that our groups entered that wasn’t rewarded with a first or second place.

Many students performed in more than one ensemble or section across the 2 days and juggled it with attending classes, work and even Year 12 exams! All the music staff are incredibly proud of the performance and behaviour during competition. It has been a long time since we got to compete in an Eisteddfod in person on this scale. The last one was in 2019 and our current Year 12’s were only in Year 9! It’s been a tough couple of years but you have all shown great resilience, dedication and commitment and I thank you for that.

Our A grade ensembles including Treble Makers, Chamber Strings, Senior Concert Band and Symphony Orchestra all took out 1st place with the adjudicator declaring to the audience that this made those Shalom Ensembles the best in Bundaberg.

The Chamber String Ensemble was also awarded the highest score of the entire competition which a wonderful and well-deserved honor for Mrs Connolly and the 22 students in the group.

A special shout out to the Music Teachers Mrs. Bernadette Connolly, Mr. Ian King, Mr. James Belluz, Mrs. Nicole Strohfeldt, Mrs. Christie McLucas, Mrs. Danni Stranieri, Miss. Stella Hutchins and Miss. Mackenzie Roberts for preparing Shalom’s ensembles and getting them to such a high standard of musicianship.

Year 11 Tourism

Sustainable Tourism Excursion to Sunshine Coast

On 20-21 July, Year 11 Tourism students undertook an excursion to the Sunshine Coast to explore sustainable tourism as part of our “Leave nothing but footprints” module. After an early departure, our first stop was the Eumundi Markets, which has been operating since 1979. Lauren, their Managing Officer explained the Eumundi Markets philosophy of ‘Make it, Bake it, Sew it, Grow it’, and how this linked to sustainable operations by the organisation and the stall holders.

That afternoon, students undertook a Cruise Maroochy boat cruise along the Maroochy River. Kate, our host and owner, explained the operation of their business and the process of attaining Eco-Tourism Certification for their cruise. Students were able to disembark at the Maroochy Wetland Boardwalk – an educational walk established by the Sunshine Coast Council. That evening, students stayed at Flashpackers Noosa, and enjoyed a meal at the Sunshine Coast Surf Club.

The next morning, Anna and Peita from Visit Noosa (essentially their Tourism Marketing Board) delivered a talk to students about the sustainability practices and programs they have initiated. These are boosting Noosa’s ‘clean and green’ image which contributes to continuing growth for tourism in the Noosa area. They were proud to claim that Noosa remains the Sunshine Coast’s most popular destination!

The information gained was extremely valuable, and will be of great use to students for their upcoming assessment task.

From the Library

What are children looking for when they choose a book?

Chances are they are looking for a book that is loaded with colourful graphic and not big blocks of fine print – that’s fine as it’s what they are able to draw from that source that matters. If a heavily pictorial item lures them in and ensnares them with tantalizing tales of faraway places and fantastic scenarios, great, that sets them up to take their literary journey of discovery even further.

Children throughout history have generally sought three basic elements from their fiction: suspense, believable characters, and a problem or mystery to be solved.

Humour, fantasy, excitement, adventure, these are the gems being sought and these are the vehicles of didacticism; the tools used to teach children how to experience and manage life’s adventures.

In William Nicholson’s Shadowlands he misattributes a quote to C.S. Lewis, it is nonetheless a good one…

‘We read to know we are not alone.’

Parent and Carer Tuckshop Volunteers

At the start of each school year we ask parents to indicate their availability for volunteering in the College tuckshop.

Life is busy and forever changing, so for this reason we have set up a booking system that will not only accommodate our very much appreciated regular volunteers, but also families who may not be able to commit on a regular basis and who may have a day here or there throughout the year to come along and lend a hand and support our students. The beauty of this system is that you can select your day and manage your booking, so if something comes up, you can quickly and easily go online to reschedule or cancel. Your booking will generate a confirmation email with links to manage your booking, it can be synched with your calendar and an SMS is sent the day before as a reminder. Of course, we are also here to help - simply contact Shalom College on 41 55 8111.

For those of you who are regular volunteers your shifts have already been added to the schedule for this year and you should have received an e-mail for each booked shift.

Shifts last from 2 to 3 hours (school drop off to around 11.30 am).
