Shalom College eNewsletter

I am writing this on the day before the Voice Referendum and, like you, I will read it again next Monday after the country makes a decision. Regardless of whether the Referendum is successful or not, on Monday we will still be living in a nation where the process of Reconciliation needs urgent attention. We will still be living in a country where most indigenous people face much worse consequences for health outcomes, poverty, life expectancy, living standards than non-indigenous Australians. We will still be living in a country where some people live with the fantasy that ‘we are all equal’ and we all get an even start in life. We will still be living in a country that requires healing from aspects of our history.

History is a powerful determinant of the present. It is still fundamentally true that those who don’t learn the lessons of history are bound to repeat the mistakes of the past. We see that constantly around the world. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity earlier this year to spend time in Israel. It was a fantastic experience. But I did come away from that without a lot of confidence in the future of that part of the world. It was pretty clear to me that neither Palestinians or Jews seemed to have much inclination to recognise the pain and hurt caused to each other over generations. When people are treated poorly, over long periods of time, reconciliation just keeps becoming more urgent and more vital for a better future. So, with however we voted on Saturday, I hope that in our part of the world, we will say ‘Yes’ to treating people with dignity and respect and we will say ‘Yes’ to addressing the mistakes of the past – not out of guilt – but out of a sense that this is the only positive way forward. Vote ‘Yes’ for the future.

Awards Night is on Tuesday evening commencing at 6.30pm in the Sports Centre. It will again be a fantastic showcase of academic, sporting and cultural excellence. All are most welcome to attend.

Year 12 Graduation will be celebrated on Friday which is the last day of classes for Year 12 students. This is earlier than in previous years as it recognises that for a significant percentage of our cohort who have no External exams to complete, this is the end of their time at Shalom. We will celebrate that journey well as we always do. We wish all of our Year 12s every best wish as they embark on External exam block and the new pathways that each of them will forge. Thank you to their parents for the privilege of allowing Shalom to share that journey with them.

From the Diocesan Indigenous Education Team to all students –

Recently a referendum on the voice to Parliament was held. The outcome of this referendum may have had a significant impact on you, peers, family, community. The Voice to Parliament provided Australia with an opportunity for deep conversation, to listen deeply, to be heard, to be reflective, to engage with a multitude of viewpoints and perspectives. We acknowledge that people will come to different conclusions and differing opinions and we respect each other’s rights to express them.
As people of faith, we believe in the inherent dignity and worth of each individual. This is a time, more so than before to rally together as children of God and his likeness. As Christians, we are called to love our neighbours (Mark 12:31) and to be peacemakers (Matt. 5:9).
Reconciliation is about striving towards a more just, equitable nation by championing unity and mutual respect. It is about loving hearts, minds, and actions of all Australians as we move forward. Together we work to build a nation that is strengthened by respectful relationships and a community where all cultures are valued, respected and affirmed across all areas of society. As a school community we are reminded that we are, one in land, one in spirit, one in faith united in God’s love.

Pray:
Creator,
You beautifully, wonderfully make us,
May we go your way of love.
Christ,
You lead us to reconciliation.
May we go your way of justice.
Spirit,
You move us on the journey.
May we go your way of breath.

Year 12 External Assessments

I hope by now Year 12 students sitting External Assessments (EA’s) have familiarised themselves with their timetable in preparation for the block commencing Monday 23 October. The timetable is available on SIA.

Copies of QCAA publications for external assessment preparation including Equipment Lists and approved Calculator lists are available on SIA. Students can also access their personal timetable in their myQCE Learning Account. Please note this version of the timetable does not specify the room where exam will be conducted.

myQCE Student Portal Account

Please check your student has registered for their myQCE Student Portal Account using a personal email address NOT their Shalom College email.

Students will be able to access their final Year 12 results and their Senior Educational Profile (QCE and Senior Statement) in their myQCE Student Portal Account on 15 December. QCAA no longer mail out senior statements and results to students.

Please have your student check their personal details are correct in there myQCE Student Portal Account and make any necessary changes. If your home address has changed please contact Mrs Norris to have this updated.

It is a student’s responsibility to be able to log into this account after they have left the College. We are unable to assist with access issues as this is your student’s private account.

ACARA Survey

The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) has recently released a national survey designed to capture feedback on the changes to the 2023 NAPLAN testing schedule. The survey seeks to gather valuable feedback from school communities across the country.

This feedback will play a key role in the ongoing enhancement and refinement of the National Assessment Program. The survey responses will assist ACARA to make informed decisions, leading to simpler, clearer, and more meaningful test results.

If you would like to give feedback a link to the survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NRTZCHN

A parent’s role in the education of their child is vital. Student outcomes will be maximised when parents and teachers are both involved in their child’s education and have positive interactions. Sia is a fantastic way for parents to be fully informed about student progress, assessment due dates, news items, upcoming events, assessment results etc.

Sia, and the Shalom phone app, have been available to parents since the beginning of 2022. Currently, our parent login rate is slightly lower than the end of last year. We would like all our parents to be successfully logged into Sia as soon as possible. Attached in the link below is a Parent “Everything You Need To Know About Sia’ Guide which includes how to log in for the first time. The phone app is super-convenient – a must-have for parents!

Our IT team will have sent the login details for Sia to all new parents to the school at the beginning of the year. If you have misplaced these details, or are having technical difficulties, please contact our Shalom IT department via email at shalomit@shalomcollege.com or phone 41558131 during office hours 8am - 3.30pm Monday to Friday, Tuesdays are 8.30am - 3.30 pm.

St Vincent de Paul Homelessness Awareness Evening

Last Thursday night we held a Homelessness Awareness Evening for students from all year levels. Approximately 40 students worked together to complete a series of activities that Michael Siccama, our Vinnies Youth Engagement and Development Facilitator, prepared for them.

A meal of soup and bread was shared by participants before they were challenged with building a shelter from empty boxes and other available resources. While the students had fun participating in the activities, the intent of the evening was for them to develop a clearer understanding of this social issue along with empathy for those affected.

Thank you to Michael and Mrs Cheryl Petersen, Campus Minister, for organising this event, and to the many staff members who contributed in other ways.

Remembering Mr James Kiernan

Throughout the last two weeks our thoughts and prayers have not strayed far from our teacher and colleague, James, and his family. Students have been given opportunities to share their thoughts, including adding to the Rosary College on the day of his funeral, last Wednesday. A collection of messages from our students will be given to the Kiernan family. The messages that James’ young students wrote demonstrate the very special relationship that he had with so many of them.

Class Masses

Each Religious Education class is allocated to a Wednesday morning 8am Mass in Loyola Chapel. The class, along with another, co-hosts this Parish Mass by taking the roles of readers and processors. When your student has an upcoming class Mass, you will receive a notification or an invitation to attend. We warmly welcome all to this weekly joint Parish School celebration. The final Year 8 classes will be hosting this week and the Year 9 classes will commence hosting over the next few weeks:

• Wednesday 18 October Mrs Schuler's 8.1 and 8.6
• Wednesday 25 October Mr Gahan's 9A and 9F
• Wednesday 1 November Ms Bryson's 9E and Mr Howard-Bain's 9B

As we work towards supporting students in writing their final assessments of the year, there is always an opportunity to help our students write with more clarity. One way to do this is by exploring how the students can use more 'complex' punctuation. If you talk with your student about different punctuation marks at junctures across their writing and editing process, this contextual approach should make the learning stick.

To begin this series, we will start by examining semicolons and colons.

Semicolons and colons are punctuation marks that help improve the clarity and structure of sentences by connecting related ideas or introducing additional information. Semicolons join independent clauses or separate items in a list with complex elements, while colons introduce lists, explanations, or summaries.

State Inter-School Chess Championships

Anatoly Karpov — 'Chess is everything: art, science, and sport.'

On Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 October, Shalom’s top chess team consisting of Callum M, Waylen , JJ W and Seth G travelled to St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace in Brisbane to compete in the prestigious State Inter-School Chess Championships. Shalom qualified for this event after winning the Wide Bay North Regional Finals in Term 3 and were competing against the winners of each region across Queensland – a huge challenge. To put this in context, there were schools competing who had FIDE Masters (Fide Rating > 2300) and Candidate Masters (Fide Rating >2200) which is very impressive for someone of high school age.

The Shalom team finished a creditable 18th out of 22 schools in the state and 5th in the regional schools. Waylen H (3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses) and Callum M (2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses) led the way with some determined performances, each only losing 2 of their 6 matches. Making this even more impressive was that they were our number 2 player and number 1 player respectively, therefore played some high-quality opponents. JJ W and Seth G also showed some impressive chess skills each with some good results against tough opponents. Congratulations to these boys on their excellent performances – hopefully we can do it all again next year.

To see the results in their entirety, including both team and individual results, follow the link: https://gardinerchess.com.au/event-result/2023-qld-inter-school-state-finals/. If you wish to keep in touch with all things Shalom Chess, then follow our Sia Chess Group page https://schoolbox.shalomcollege.com/homepage/6024.

If you would like to play some chess, or learn how to, you are most welcome to attend our Chess Club which meets each Tuesday at 11.25am-12.00pm in Beerarlem. We would love you to join us in the classy and noble pursuit of chess.

Rugby League

Congratulations to Tom M and Mr Kaufusi (coach) for a wonderful result in the Queensland City vs Queensland Country U17 match in Brisbane during the recent holidays. The Queensland Country boys defeated Queensland City 13-12 in a nail-biter.

Mr Kaufusi was very happy with the team’s performance and applauded their efforts and tenacity in defeating a strong Queensland City side.

Tom was a standout player, turning in a strong defensive performance while also proving to be a handful with the ball in hand, running for a game high 199m on 17 carries.

Touch - QLD All Schools

Congratulations to the following teams that competed at the recent QLD All Schools Touch Football Carnival held on the Gold Coast.

The Open Girls Touch Team played really well, making it through to the final 16 games on Sunday out of 88 teams in the division. We won all our games and lost one game, placing second in our pool, with a high for and against, which allowed us to progress to the finals. All girls played well lead by captain Zoe S. Thanks to our Manager - Miss Jess Richards, Assistant Coach - Mr Ainsley Driver and Coach - Mr Peter Robinson.

The Open Boys Touch Team put in some strong performances in a very tough pool.

From their 6 games, the team had 2 impressive wins (12-0 & 6-0), but went down in their other games (including a respectable 6-1 loss to the eventual Open Boys Champions). The boys can be proud of their efforts, particularly considering a number of players were quite new to the sport. The whole team showed great teamwork and spirit throughout the carnival, led by captain and Players’ Player, Jomar G. Thanks to our Manager – Mrs Sarah Driver and Coach – Mr Graham O’Shanesy. Thanks to Mrs Mel Klowss for preparing all the delicious meals for the team and also to Bus Driver/First Aid Officer – Mr Joe O’Driscoll. Special thanks to Shalom Touch Coordinator – Mr Peter Robinson, for his time and effort organising this trip.

The Under 15s Boys team also played really well with 88 teams in their age group.
The boys came 3rd in a very tight pool winning 4 games and narrowly falling short in 2, just missing the finals. All the boys played well, lead by captain – Tahj C.
Thanks to our Manager – Mr Adam Booth and Coach – Mr Rob Bailey-Rasmussen.
Special thanks to Mr Peter Robinson for all the hard work leading in to the tournement.

Congratulation to the Under 15 Girls who played outstandingly. The girls won 6 out of 7 games, finishing second in their pool. Unfortunately, the girls did not progress forward, finishing in the top 30 out of 112 teams. This is a remarkable result.
All the girls played well, led by their captains, Mia K, Kate M and their warmup captain Courtney D. Thanks to our coach Miss Riley Dingle our managers – Ms Kelly Jenkins and Ms Tressa Marano and a massive thank you to Pauline Churchill (Parent) for organising all the food for the girls.

Congratulations to the girls who received the following awards:
Mia K – Coaches Award
Kate M – Players Player
Stevey H – Most Improved Award.
