At our Assembly last Thursday, we celebrated Harmony Day. It was a very visual reminder to us at Shalom of how many students and families have close roots to countries beyond our shores or who are one of the traditional custodians of our nation. We are so much better for that. Sadly, all too often, we see of and hear about instances where Indigenous Australians or those of migrant backgrounds continue to confront racist remarks and attitudes. This is simply unacceptable. Last week, even if you don’t follow Rugby League, I’m sure that everyone heard of the abuse thrown at League star and proud indigenous man, Latrell Mitchell. Allegedly, he was abused by an adolescent spectator. This is reminiscent of a similar incident with AFL star, Adam Goodes when he was abused by a 13 year old girl. Both incidents were awful and highly publicised. No one wants to see that in sport or anywhere else. Those two adolescents, I fear, did not come to the point of making those comments, out loud, by themselves. I suspect that they heard similar comments from adults in their lives. In last week’s Newsletter, I shared Tanya O’Shea’s thoughts on issues for girls and body image. Girls pick up negative images about their own bodies, not just from social media, but from adults and parents who comment on their own bodies. Our children will pick up from their parents values of tolerance and acceptance or the opposite. They will learn what we demonstrate.
The link below will take you to a short clip from Stan Grant that I also shared with the students on Assembly. It reminds us all that we can be better. https://youtu.be/PfjB6bodrVs
I will be away from Shalom for the last week of Term One and the first two weeks of Term Two. I am taking a few weeks Sabbatical Leave most of which will be spent on a short study course in Jerusalem. Visiting the Holy Land has long been on my ‘bucket list’ and I am looking forward to doing my best to walk in the footsteps of Jesus! My colleague and I will have our final week in and around the town of Assisi in Italy and home to St Francis.
Date Claimers:
• Thursday 4 May at 7pm – Australian Boxing Champion, Jeff Horn in our theatre introducing 'Bullyproof Australia' to Shalom.
• Friday 5 May at 7am – Empowering Women Breakfast at ATW with Australian Netballs’ Gretel Bueta (nee Tippett) and Australian Womens’ RL Ali Briggenshaw.
Vaping continues to be a problem for young people across Australia. Very pleased to read over the weekend that Governments might be, at last, getting serious about restricting the use of vapes. Queensland Catholic Parents association are sponsoring a free webinar for parents this Thursday 23 March at 7pm. Click the link below for further details.

Study for Success: The Multitasking Myth
We may wish we could effectively do multiple things at once, but scientific research shows that people who claim to be ‘multitasking’ are really moving rapidly between two tasks. Unfortunately, this rapid switching appears to result in impaired memory and performance. Translated into an educational setting, a student keeping their mathematics assignment open on their laptop to work on in between other classwork, or completing homework questions whilst also watching television will complete work at a lower standard and retain less content than they would if they focused on one of these tasks at a time. Over the long-term scientists believe attempting to multitask during learning activities may lead to a reduction in attention span. For more on multitasking, visit the Science of Learning Research Centre’s multitasking information page: https://www.slrc.org.au/pen-6-multitasking-impairs-memory-learning/
For students studying at home it is important to set aside time that will be uninterrupted – free from television, social media, and other distractions. Students should focus on one task at a time. Designating a specific time frame to work on an assessment or homework task before moving on to the next may help maintain focus. Specific goals may also help mark the time to move on between subjects or tasks, as might using a timer.
To help with the distraction of social media consider using a focus app. There are many available. This article reviews a number of options that work on computers and mobile devices: https://zapier.com/blog/stay-focused-avoid-distractions/#freedom

Preparing for Assessment
As we approach the end of term many students will be working towards assessment. Parents are encouraged to work with their students to develop appropriate homework and study plans – the Record Book is a helpful tool for this purpose. A Homework Study Planner is included for each term (see p.44 and 45 for Term One). A monthly or term overview for your child’s study location at home is also a good strategy.
Parents can access upcoming assessment dates for their children via Sia. Each student has a “Due Work Calendar” that shows upcoming dates for checkpoints, drafts, and exams. To access this calendar for your child in the Sia Smartphone Application please select “My Shalom” and then “Due Work”. On the webpage, an option to select Due Work will show under your child’s photograph on the home page.
Learning Area Coordinators have assigned tasks in each faculty area and class teachers adapt these to specific days/lessons when applicable. Please be aware that some tasks with multiple components may be duplicated in the Due Work Calendar.
Academic Policies and Procedures
It is important to be aware that student assessment is regulated by Shalom’s Academic Policies and Procedures which can be found in the Student Record Book from page 13 to 26. This includes issues surrounding drafting, academic integrity, and non-submission.
Flowcharts outlining the processes required for students who miss an exam or wish to request an extension are on page 15 and 16. Please be aware that extensions need to be applied for in advance of the due date. Drafts are compulsory. Non-submission of a draft may lead to a student being asked to attend a Supplementary Session on Tuesday afternoon. Of particular importance is the requirement for evidence (eg. a medical certificate) for exams missed in all Year 11 and 12 subjects.
Please contact the Middle School Coordinator (Megan Munckton) megan_munckton@shalomcollege.com or Senior School Coordinator (Larissa Scoles) Larissa_Scoles@shalomcollege.com with any questions regarding assessment submission.

Project Compassion
Last week, I included a reminder that during Lent we have a particular focus on raising funds for Project Compassion. For the six weeks of Lent the collection boxes are around our school for students to put change in. The funds raised through Project Compassion go to people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world, including Australia. A parent I was talking to during the week, suggested that I include a link for online donations. So, if you would like to know more about how the funds are used to help people like Priscilla (below) or to organise a direct donation, you can connect with Project Compassion through: www.caritas.org.au/project-compassion

Shalom College Registration Form - Tuesday 25 April
Welcome to the Registration Form for those who would like to march on Anzac Day with our Shalom College community.
We are inviting interested Shalom Staff/Students/Parents and Friends to participate with Shalom College at the Bargara Service and/or Bundaberg Civic Service for Anzac Day.

Anzac Day is the solemn day of remembrance of those Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who have fought and died for their country, and is marked annually on the anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War.
ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is the anniversary of the landing of troops from Australia and New Zealand on the Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey, in World War I on April 25 1915. Anzac Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day on which we remember all Australians who served and died in war and on operational service, past and present.
Students, as you will be representing the College, it is important to adhere to the following guidelines:
• Formal uniform with polished shoes
• Formal hat (borrow or purchase new one, if yours is not in good condition)
• NO chewing gum
• Sleepers or studs ONLY
• Bottled water (It is often a very hot day.)
• Apply sunscreen before marching
There are 3 opportunities to march on ANZAC DAY
1. Bargara Dawn Service
2. Bundaberg Civic Service (roll call at 8:00 am)
3. OTHER SERVICES (Agnes Water, Rosedale, Moore Park, Elliot Heads, Gin Gin, Childers, Woodgate, etc.) - (Other Services/marches will be acknowledged if the student attends/marches in Shalom Formal Day uniform.)
Staff, Parents and Friends, if you plan on marching with Shalom College, please meet at the designated time and place and please wear corporate attire, of a similar standard to students.

The ROSA (Recognition of Student Application) program is an award program which recognises student application to their studies. We value the importance of acknowledging students who are motivated, show perseverance and work diligently to reach their potential. The ‘goal posts’ for all our students are different, however all students are capable of achieving their own success targets. There are many ways we regularly encourage and reward the efforts of our students. The ROSA award allows for more of our students to be recognised amongst their peers.
Shortly teachers will select up to two students from each of their middle school classes to nominate for a Term One ROSA award. These students will be presented with the award on House Assembly early in Term Two. The awardees will have their name published in the Shalom Newsletter.

DID YOU KNOW?
Australia Needs 60,000+ More Digital Workers Every Year
9 out of 10 employers' reference digital skills as key requirements in job applications. According to the Digital Skills Organisation, Australia is forecast to need an additional 60,000 digital workers per year over the next five years and our current rates of IT graduates at the tertiary level are already falling well short of this demand. Adaptive technologies such as automation, advanced robotics, machine learning and augmented reality are already making their way into blue-collar and white collar industries alike. One example may be the mining and resources sector. Many large-scale mines now employ drones to conduct aerial surveys of their sites, creating 3D scans that are then used in augmented and virtual reality environments. Australia is the largest user of autonomous trucks in the world, using almost triple the amount of the second-largest user. Industries such as graphic design, illustration and copywriting, rely heavily on digital skills with no sign of slowing down. Digital Skills Organisation was developed to address the skills shortage and have developed a great (less than 2 minute) video about how digital literacy can be used in careers.

CQUinversity Welcomes new Cohort of Doctors-in-Training
CQUniversity has welcomed 34 new medical students to Central Queensland and Wide Bay, as the second cohort of the Regional Medical Pathway (RMP) program begin their studies. Welcome events were held in both Rockhampton and Bundaberg last week to mark the occasion. We are very excited to see five local high school graduates from Bundaberg, two from Hervey Bay and four from Rockhampton joining the pathway this year, demonstrating that the goal of "home grown doctors" is truly underway. Read more here about the program.
University Early Entry Quick Facts
If you’re in Year 12 this year, you’ve probably already started thinking about university. But you don’t need to wait until the end of the year – early entry programs are more popular than ever.
Early entry gives you the chance to receive an offer to uni before you’ve finished your exams. This can give you peace of mind and help you be more relaxed during what can be a stressful time.
We’ve put together some interesting stats about early entry over the last year, and what you might be able to expect this year. Find out more HERE.
ADF Careers Information Session
Last week we had the ADF Careers Information Session at Shalom for students interested in gaining more information relating to careers within the Navy, Army and Airforce. It was a well received session with 90 students attending. It was an interesting and engaging session. If you missed out don’t worry these guys will be again attending Shalom for our Careers Expo in July.

Caleb W is a Year 12 MacKillop PC3 student. Caleb has done an outstanding job so far as a MacKillop senior. He has enthusiastically taken on the role of senior buddy to year 7s, he has volunteered to help with our fundraising efforts so far which has also involved giving up both of his lunch breaks each Friday to sell Zooper Doopers. Caleb’s friendly personality and willingness to be involved is an asset to his PC and to MacKillop House. His continuing efforts to fulfil our MacKillop House goals is greatly appreciated.
Damien House - Share the Dignity Fundraiser
On Friday 24 March, Damien House will be raising money and awareness of our House charity 'Share the Dignity'.

Shalom College is currently organising an inaugural Empowering Women’s Breakfast for Friday 5 May. At Shalom College we place great importance in recognising and supporting our young female students to reach their potential whether it is in the classroom, on the sporting field, on the stage or within industry. With the Empowering Women’s Breakfast, we hope to inspire the young women in the room to persevere when faced with difficulties that they encounter in life and empower them to be resilient and persistent when they endeavor to succeed in their chosen path. It will also be an opportunity to celebrate the great women in our lives and the great women in the lives of our students.
The 2023 event will include guest speakers Gretel Butea, (Australian Netball Diamonds, Queensland Firebirds and Commonwealth Games Netball medalist), Tanya O’Shea (Leadership Coach and Mentor) and other special guests. There will also be fundraising raffles with prizes including an Australian Diamond’s Netball dress, a signed Australian Diamond’s Netball and a signed Queensland Firebirds Netball.
Funds raised from the breakfast will go towards our female QISSN (Netball) and QISSRL (Rugby League) teams to financially support these young athletes to attend the 2023 carnivals.
We are currently seeking expressions of interest from businesses to help sponsor the inaugural event.

In Week 7, students in Year 7 Japanese classes learnt all about the Way of the Samurai and Bushido. The word ‘samurai’ means to serve. Samurai were trained to be fearless fighters as well as cultured thinkers. Their main roles were to serve and protect the Emperor and their Daimyo (landowners). Students learnt about the 7 virtues of Bushido, the code that Samurai lived by. The virtues include honour, courage, politeness, compassion, honesty, loyalty and integrity. Classes made connections between Bushido and the values of Shalom College. At the end of the week students created their own samurai kabuto (helmet) and were given an opportunity to test out their chopstick skills in the M&M Chopstick Challenge. Lots of serious Samurai focus was observed! The reward for excellent skills and participation was, of course, delicious M&M’s!!! (A sweat treat that would surely have been a Samurai staple if they existed hundreds of years ago).

The website, Literacy for Boys https://www.literacyforboys.com.au/boys-love-lfb-heres-what-they-say/ recommends setting up a routine whereby boys are reading for 10 minutes a day. The mood should be kept upbeat by choosing a time that he is not tired or hungry and make sure you compliment their progress. It is also suggested that you shouldn’t give up – it’s a matter of attitude – encourage rather than enforce. Opting out will be counteractive in establishing resilience, determination and dedication as well as rob him of developing the skills required for not only reading but having the confidence to speak publicly – conquering reading sets him up to conquer his world!
Daniel Willingham (2015) espouses that “reading self-concept is both built by and a contributor to positive reading attitudes and the act of reading.” This is where the reading self-concept can be more important than reading attitudes. If being someone who reads becomes a part of a boy’s self-concept, it will engender a natural inclination to do it more frequently. The diagrams show the vicious and virtuous cycles of a reader.
The experts recommend a few more elements to add:
• Getting dad on board – the influence of a positive male role model does help, and not just having dad sit with him and listening to him read but also the boy seeing dad read for his own leisure sets a great example.
• Dad reading the same book encourages even more engagement; being able to compare what each other is up to in the latest David Walliams, or discussing the exploits of a Horowitz spy hero forms that bond almost akin to co-conspirators in a private plot.
• Matching reading material to current films or television and building on interests is always successful, and don’t discount non-fiction – a book about Marvel characters is still processing the written word.
• The experts encourage the use of technology for some boys to make it easier for them to engage but never underestimate the value of accessing libraries, learning how to select suitable material, and holding a book in the journey to hone reading skills.

Tennis
‘I have always considered tennis as a combat in an arena between two gladiators who have their racquets and their courage as their weapons.’ – Yannick Noah
Queensland State Titles
Congratulations to our three Wide Bay representatives, Lachlan C, Sophie M, and Lara B, who travelled to Townsville to compete in the Queensland State Titles from Thursday 9 to Sunday 12 March. This tournament is divided into two sections – the teams’ event and the individual event, and is played against the best players across Queensland.
Wide Bay came 10th in the boys teams’ competition, with Lachlan as the number one player, and 12th in the girls in a very challenging competition. Lachlan played some exceptional tennis winning some impressive matches, while Sophie and Lara showed how they improved as players against some tough opponents.
These players were a pleasure to take away playing all their matches in the true Shalom spirit of good sportsmanship. They should be very proud of their achievements.
Congratulations to Taj Wilson
Taj Wilson was a Shalom student from 2020-2022. In 2023, he made the difficult decision to follow his dream of pursuing a career involving competitive tennis. The choice to leave home and attend a boarding school with a tennis program was not a light-hearted one.
St Peter's in Indooroopilly was chosen for many reasons including its high academic rigor and is a member of Associated Independent Colleges (AIC) for boys sporting competitions. The school facilities are world class and cater for many sporting disciplines where multiple state, national and international athletes have been produced. Taj's time on court has more than quadrupled, and under the guidance of qualified tennis coaches, the training program includes gym, hitting, match play, and strategy. Taj is now a member of the coaching staff. As the school is within Brisbane, it provides the opportunity to compete at tournaments almost every weekend.
In Taj's words, 'it's amazing to be surrounded by students that are driven and know what they want and what they have to do to achieve their goal'.
Taj’s love of tennis was grounded and fostered at Shalom, which has provided a solid foundation to build from. The friendships he's made at Shalom and the wider Bundaberg region, and the impact of those early years will be long lasting. Congratulations to Taj on his achievements so far, with the hope that there are many more to come. Shalom is very proud of you!
