I saw during last week that the CEOs of the major Social Media groups were hauled before the United States Congress and were grilled by unusually united politicians over the really traumatic damage done to so many young people by use of social media. Particularly in the United States, it was so rare to see both sides of politics united on any topic. I’m sure some will argue that the ‘right to free speech’ protects those who do harm. I hope that won’t be the case. I don’t believe that people should be able to knowingly spread lies or to deliberately harm others in word or action. Most of the students at Shalom have access to Social Media. I know how difficult it is for a parent to monitor all of that.
Regrettably, I regularly see the damage that poor use of social media can bring. ‘Snapchat’, amongst others is just awful. Young people (or old people) can make foul comments or post awful things and it just disappears. I cannot, for the life of me, see any positive use for an App like this. Social Media is not going away. I want to encourage parents to, as regularly as possible, have conversations with your children about what Social Media they are using and why. Where possible, monitor their activity. In other areas, parents would have no problem making sure their teenage child was safe in a car or at a beach or in a crowd. Social Media can be just as dangerous – if not more so. One of the benefits that I have noticed already this year now that we require students to hand in their phones at the start of each lesson, is that young people are not receiving vibrating notifications, constantly, via their phone during class time.
Shalom Business Owners – we’d love to hear from any of our Shalom families who might wish to take up any of the two remaining sponsorships still available for the Catholic Schools Race Day on Saturday 16 March. Great day out for your employees or friends. Please email me if you would like more information.
Camps begin this week with our first Year 8 classes heading to Chaverim. Shalom is in a privileged position to offer Camps to students in Yr 7,8, 10 & 11. The cost of these events, along with transport, is contained in our inclusive school fees. These are wonderful opportunities for our students. I would take a moment to remind parents that it is an expectation of the College that your child participates in the Camp program. These are not optional extras. Should there be a really good reason why your child might not be able to participate in an allotted camp, please have an early conversation with your child’s Head of House.

Starting the Year on the right foot
The Homework/Study Planner (located in the Student Record Book at the start of each term) is a tool to be used by all students to assist in developing time management skills. We encourage all students to make use of this study tool.
This year we have added a Term Planner that sits before the Study Planner at the beginning of each term. The aim is to support students to record assessments on their due dates, excursions, or any other academic commitments. This will assist students to plan their week/term effectively as they can see a snapshot of their whole term.
Please note that the Student Record Book details the Academic Policies and Procedures of the College. It is strongly recommended that parents and students familiarise themselves with these procedures to ensure they are meeting their obligations with regards to assessment.
Middle School
Year 7 and Year 9 students will sit the NAPLAN online tests from Wednesday 13 March – Monday 25 March. There will be an opportunity for students to participate in practice NAPLAN tests leading into the testing period.
If you have any concerns about NAPLAN or if you wish to withdraw your student from NAPLAN testing, please contact Mrs Megan Munckton, Dean of Middle School, megan_munckton@shalomcollege.com.
Please note: all students MUST have corded headphones or earphones to undertake the NAPLAN Online testing. This is the responsibility of families to ensure that students have their earphones or headphones for all test days, including the practice test. These headphones/earphones must have a 3.5mm standard jack. Wireless headphones (e.g., Apple air pods) are not compatible. If you need to purchase headphones or earphones, we suggest you do this as soon as possible. The uniform shop has a small supply of earphones for $6.

Year 12 Exam Block – Monday 19 to Wednesday 21 February
Year 12 students will participate in an exam block from Monday 19 – Wednesday 21 February. The Exam Timetable for this exam block is attached below. Students participating in this exam block will undergo Unit 3 assessment. This assessment is summative and as such will contribute towards the ATAR score. Students need only attend school for the exams that they are sitting in this period.
During the exam block, students not involved in exams are expected to be involved in home study. Students who are behind in their schoolwork may also be required to attend school to complete outstanding work. If this is required, these arrangements will be communicated by individual class teachers.
Please remember that normal school rules regarding uniform and behaviour continue through the exam block. These expectations are outlined in the attached documents.
We wish our students all the best with their studies.
New Feedback Method- Learner Attributes
In 2024, Shalom College is excited to announce we are changing the way we give feedback on ‘learning attributes’ of our students to parents. In previous years, Shalom has issued an Interim Report card at the beginning of Term 2 as well as the normal End-of-Semester Report cards. Our new method of feedback will replace the Interim Report card. Additionally, the End-of-Semester Report cards will no longer show Application and Behaviour.
Instead, teachers will give feedback through Sia on the learning behaviours of students in each of their classes, as well as PC classes. This will be published to parents at the end of Week 5 in Term 1 & 3 for all Year 7-12 subjects and PC classes, and at the end of Week 5 in Term 2 & 4 for the Year 7/8 rotation subjects that occur in those terms.
Each student will be awarded either a Consistently (4), Mostly (3), Sometimes (2), Rarely (1) or Never (0) in the following criteria:
- Organisation - punctual to class, correct equipment in good working order, laptop charged, record book present
- Application - actively engaged in learning, appropriate use of technology (laptop, phone etc), homework complete
- Presentation - uniform worn appropriately, follows school guidelines for hair, make-up, jewellery etc
- College Values - treats others with dignity and respect, displays a positive attitude
This will appear on Sia Parent Dashboard under ‘Grades’.
and will appear as a mark out of 16.
More detailed information can be found by clicking on the ‘Learning Attributes’ link on the above screen.
After the initial feedback is published, teachers are able to update these criteria and re-publish them to parents at any time throughout the year and add a comment if necessary. Parents are advised of updates via Notifications in Sia. In this way, reporting on your child’s application in class is ‘live’, improving the quality of feedback for parents. We believe this is a significant improvement in our communication with parents, compared with the previous ‘point-in-time’ reporting.
Please note that end-of semester reports will still be issued as normal, however there will be no grade for Application and Behaviour on these reports.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions/concerns about our new method of providing feedback.
SIA – LOG ON NOW! GET THE PHONE APP!
‘Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.’ -Warren Buffet
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.

Masses
Gathering as a community to participate in Mass is central to being Catholic. As a Catholic School, we provide opportunities for students and staff to participate in Masses, regardless of their own faith background or none. Therefore, each House will join with another, to celebrate a House Mass during one of their timetabled Assembly times in Term 2 or Term 3.
Each Religious Education class will also cohost a Wednesday morning Mass at 8am in our chapel. This Mass occurs during term time and is a Parish Mass, so it is open to all. The Mass finishes before the 8.40am bell. Religious Education teachers will email a notice to families prior to their allocated Mass, and we encourage attendance. Upcoming Masses will be hosted by our Senior students.

Congratulations to all the students in McCormack House that have a buddy this year. They have gone above and beyond helping our Year 7's feel comfortable and welcomed at out College.
On our first day back for 2024, we had the privilege of Bec Domaile, a Traditional Owner of the Taribelang Bunda people, conduct a smoking ceremony during assembly.
This meaningful tradition involves the use of wet native plants to create smoke, purifying and cleansing the space.
As students and teachers entered the hangar, they walked through the smoke, symbolising the beginning of a new journey and bringing positive energy to our school community.
This ceremony was a gift from Elders and Traditional Owners and serves as a special way to honor the land and our ancestors, while setting a positive tone for the year ahead.

Rowing Come Try Sessions
Time to try a new sport? Like an individual and team sport? Enjoy being around water? Rowing could be the sport for your child.
Rowing is a unique school team sport that is only offered in high school. Shalom has a strong rowing team and is looking for new recruits. Training is 2-3 times a week on the river at different times (generally juniors in the afternoon & seniors in the morning). There is also extra land training available after school at the gym and with the rowing machines. The team competes in 5-6 regattas a year with all the local regattas held at Bucca and some at Rockhampton. There is a yearly fee due to boats, facilities, maintenance and insurance. Shalom Rowing is a fun family orientated group that is involved in all aspects of rowing – coaching, fundraising, maintenance, cleaning etc. Rowing is an all over body workout that not only builds students physically but supports their mental, emotional and social growth and development.
If your child is interested in trying our oarsome sport, please sign on to one of our sessions using the link below. We will then hold a parent information evening on Tuesday 13 February 7pm in Loyola. We are also holding a rowing machine challenge in the school gym during the lunch breaks on Mondays and Wednesday in Week 2 & 3. There are prizes for the fastest junior boy and girl, and senior boy and girl.
Looking forward to seeing this oarsome team grow. Any questions or for more information don’t hesitate to contact us.

Responsible use of digital devices webinar
Join the free, live webinar with Susan McLean from CyberSafety Solutions next Wednesday 7 February 7pm-8pm
Catholic School Parents Queensland warmly invite all Catholic School Parents, Carers, Principals & School Staff to join us on a live Webinar with Susan McLean from CyberSafety Solutions.
This is a FREE WEBINAR hosted by CSPQ to support our families in Catholic Schools.
This informative webinar will look at the issue of ‘phone bans’ in schools and provide information to support the importance of this occurring. There is extensive evidence that students do not have the capacity to make good choices when phones are involved and during the school day, it becomes a ‘duty of care’ issue for schools. Support from home will be vital for the success of these rules. We will look at the how and why a parent can support their child’s school in relation to this and the reasons behind the restrictions.
We will also cover more broadly, cybersafety, the risk and the reality of the online world, with time for questions at the end.
