Principal’s Reflection

Sadly, footballers are not infrequently in the news for all the wrong reasons. It’s a shame we don’t hear more of the good stories. Two I’ve come across recently deserve to be shared – sadly from a code I have often disparaged and don’t follow much! I watched a bit of the recent AFL Grand Final where Geelong belted Sydney. Joel Selwood, the Geelong Captain was extraordinary. A 350 game veteran and Captain of the winning team had every reason to enjoy the limelight and the well-deserved attention that brings. Before the game started, he took the time to carry the young son of Gary Ablett Jnr through the team banner. The little boy has a very serious medical condition. Selwood thought he could do something positive for the family. After the game, as the Cats did a lap of honour in front of thousands of adoring fans, Selwood spotted a young man, Tom Moorfoot, who has Down Syndrome and who had done a bit around the club as a waterboy, on the fence with so many others. Selwood took the time to lift him over the fence and had him join the celebration. The look on Tom’s face at that point is priceless. No one would have thought less of Selwood if he just enjoyed the moment for himself but he was interested in others. There is something extraordinarily selfless in that. In an age of social media and the need to gather ‘likes’, he reminds the rest of us to realign our moral compasses. Check out this piece of video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grQ8dGtNbBw

The other footballer I came across last week was a clip from 2019 from Neal Daniher talking to the Melbourne footballers. Even I have heard of Daniher – great player for Essendon and exceptional coach of a number of clubs. Daniher talks to those young people about life and what is important. He had been earlier diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. He begins this talk with young footballers by posing a question, ‘If you had one wish for a person you cared for, what would it be?” Please find just five minutes to sit with your kids and make them watch this clip with you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H_aAmL-1NI

Interestingly, both Joel Selwood and Neale Daniher were products of Catholic education. I don’t have much idea of their experience in those schools but I’m really hoping that those experiences, along with the influence of their parents, have gone a long way in making them the men that they became.

Hollie Siebold will present to parents tomorrow night in the Theatre from 7pm. This is a great opportunity for parents. Please try to attend. The event will be live streamed and the link is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjSAWOTFFFk

Parents & Friends will meet in the staff room from 5.30pm. I am hoping we will get a good roll up of parents to discuss the issue of increasing absentee rates the College has experienced from school days and especially the ‘special event’ days that are a part of our compulsory curriculum. Something is not working well at that moment and I would greatly appreciate the insights of parents on this.

Enrolments 2023 – maybe it’s a Covid thing but the demand for enrolment places at Shalom for next year is intense at the moment. Currently, we are almost totally full. If you become aware that circumstances may mean that your child/ren won’t be returning to Shalom, other families will be enormously grateful if you could let us know as soon as possible.

Catholic Parish of Bundaberg – in my reflection last week, I spoke a bit about my history as a Catholic. In spite of failings of the Church and my own, I described the Catholic Church as still ‘my mob’. The Catholic Church has a pretty significant ‘foot print’ in Bundaberg – St Vincent de Paul, the Mater Hospital, CatholicCare (Centrecare) and four Catholic schools. Below is a link to a Census form the local parish has developed. Government data would indicate that there are about 18000 people in our area who identify as Catholic. The parish has records for only about 1500. They would ask that those who identify as Catholics to complete the document. No one is going to come knocking on your door or expecting you to read at Mass, but we would like to know who is in our community.

The Census will run from Friday 7 to Monday 31 October. Please click here to complete the Census Form.

Where do Shalom graduates go? Each year the State Government surveys all school leavers and develops the ‘Next Steps’ report for the State and each school. The link below will take you to this report. It is interesting reading and it shows some very good employment and training data for Shalom graduates.

QUT’s Bachelor of Health Information Management

If you’re interested in healthcare but prefer to work behind the scenes, health information management (HIM) allows you to use analytical skills to improve systems and help people in meaningful ways. This is a career that requires attention to detail as well as clear communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. HIM professionals interact with people across diverse healthcare settings and disciplines, including doctors and other clinical staff, health service managers, health departments, statistical agencies, insurance companies and patients.

QUT offers the only HIM course in Queensland. HIM is a very niche area, however there are multiple avenues which the completion of the degree can offer you. Some roles include data custodianship, release of information, clinical coding, medical record management, and information system architecture while affording career progression opportunities into leadership and management. Find out more about this rewarding career here.

How to Write an Effective Entry Level Resume

A good resume presents who you are, what you have to offer and how you add value. It summarises your education, skills, employment history, responsibilities and achievements. Curriculum vitae (CV) is another name for resume.

Quiet Achiever

Year 7 student Isaac is our McAuley Quiet Achiever. Isaac is a conscientious young man who is always polite, helpful and encouraging to others. Isaac has an infectious smile and will never miss an opportunity to say hello to staff and peers alike. He excels academically and his presentation of uniform is outstanding. Isaac has a humble attitude and plenty of resilience which are terrific attributes he demonstrates during PC, class and at break times with his friends and peers. Our patron Catherine McAuley said once “There is nothing of greater importance than the perfect discharge of our ordinary duties” and this quote is certainly something Isaac demonstrates throughout the school day.

From the Library

“Chair of my grandmother, tell me a story.” – Frances Browne, Granny's wonderful chair and the tales it told (1857)

Fantasy fiction is a very popular genre with young people, but it is more than that … As old as humanity itself the genre has featured in every culture as a means of passing on the myths and folklore of the land and for didactic purposes, imparting knowledge on young people.

There were hints of mysticism in the bloody story-telling of the German Grimm brothers and the tales of Hans Christian Andersen from Scandinavia in the 1800’s, but these dark stories were designed more as scare-tactic material to teach children right from wrong than anything. They did, however, sow the seed for the next era of the genre.

After the ‘rooted-in-reality’ and ‘children-as-little-adults’ manner of raising young people in the Georgian period, the Victorian era saw a heavy deep-dive into realms of fairies, goblins, ghosts, and wizards.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), and L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) were not only ground-breaking in the fantasy literature timeline but also historic in their introduction of female protagonists Wendy Darling and Dorothy Gale.

There is no sign of the fantasy genre ever losing popularity as its musings and concepts are adopted for movies, games, and countless other modes for a whole new generation of magic lovers, young and old.

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).

No experience required!
