Shalom College eNewsletter

Recently, schools have been in the news. Plenty of reaction around the country to schools choosing to move away from single sex education to coeducational education. This always seems to engender emotive responses. The array of ‘talking heads’ and other experts drawn upon in these debates always interests me. I was watching one panel discussion recently where the panellists were taking the point that moving a boys’ school to a co-ed setting was a good idea but not so much the other way – moving a girls’ school to co-ed. The ‘expert’ in question said that this was because boys’ schools were responsible for ‘toxic masculinity’ and that girls’ schools never exhibited ‘toxic femininity’. I am presuming that expert has never had to work through incidents of adolescent girls being really awful to each other or anyone in their path!

After having spent many years in both single sex and co-ed schools, my belief would be that it is not so much who children sit beside that makes a difference but who is in front of them. Teachers and school leadership are a much bigger factor in creating great school cultures, or not, than the students in the school. Teachers who truly care for their students and who teach well, have a profound influence on the outcomes and behaviours of young people. It puts plenty of pressure on me and my Leadership team, but we play a very significant part in that process as well. We determine what is acceptable and what is not. Young people, whatever gender, will make mistakes at times and make some very poor choices – along with their great choices. How those are dealt with and managed creates the culture in a school. And parents play a big part in that in the way in which they partner with the school and support the ethos and values. After many years in this business, I love coeducation. I think it provides a great ‘balance’ for young people and great preparation for the world into which they will graduate. That said, no school – single sex or coed – is immune from toxic masculinity or femininity – it is all about how those issues are managed and the responses made.

Catholic Schools’ Race Day was another great event. Thank you to all guests and sponsors for your support – hope you all had a win! Particularly grateful to the organising committee and the spectacular efforts of Peter O’Beirne who just does an outstanding job coordinating this event every year.

Harmony Day at Shalom will be celebrated on Thursday of this week. This is one of our wonderful events as we recognize the diverse backgrounds and cultures of so many of our students. We are so much better for their presence. This year, we will welcome First Nations man and Rugby League great, Sam Thaiday to Shalom to help us celebrate.

Attendance Rates – as we move towards the end of a very busy Term 1, our attendance data is very pleasing – a touch over 92% and the number of students late to school has also decreased. We are so grateful to parents for the part they play in ensuring that your child’s learning time is maximised at Shalom.

NAPLAN

This week sees NAPLAN testing continue. Well done to all students in year 7 and 9 for their efforts in last week’s Writing and Reading tests. Students will complete their Conventions of Learning test today and Numeracy on Wednesday.

Students participating in NAPLAN are expected to bring their laptop fully charged on each test day. There have been numerous students who have delayed our testing due to having a flat laptop.

Earphones (not Bluetooth) are compulsory for NAPLAN testing. Students who present to the test session with bluetooth earphones or without earphones, will be sold a set - $6 charged to the students’ account. We urge all students to keep the earphones in their pencil case ready for testing sessions. The uniform shop has a small supply of earphones for $6. Earphones must have a 3.5mm standard jack. See images below. Wireless/bluetooth earphones (e.g. Apple air pods) are not compatible.

Catch up sessions will run of the following days/periods (Rooming to be advised):

Tuesday 19 March Period 1
Thursday 21 March Period 1
Friday 22 March Period 1
Monday 25 March Period 1

As with any test, it is important for students to maintain a healthy diet and ensure a good night's sleep leading up to the testing period. Each student should strive to perform at their best across all testing domains.

The results from testing are used in conjunction with other data to assess individual and cohort strengths as well as areas to improve on. We review existing initiatives and develop teaching programs to support students based on the data.

Preparing for assessment

As we approach the end of term many students will be working on 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.48 and 49 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.

Heads of Department 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 of work.

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 Dean of Middle School (Megan Munckton) Megan_Munckton@shalomcollege.com or the Dean of Senior School (Patricia Allan) allenp@shalomcollege.com with any questions regarding assessment submission.

Elevate Education Parent Webinars

It was great to see we had over 30 parents participate in the recent Time Management webinar delivered by Elevate Education. On Wednesday 13 March they have another webinar on technology and focus, and how parents can help their child break their addiction to social media and use productivity-boosting apps. This one is the most popular out of all their webinars in this series.

Please note there are only two webinars remaining. You are invited to join in these to help support your child at home by reinforcing the skills that will support their learning at school.

Upcoming Webinars:

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.

Wednesday 20 March Mrs O'Driscoll's 11 RAE C
Mr Tuiwai's 11 RAE F

Wednesday 27 March Mr Gahan's 12 RAE H

Harmony Week is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, and the successful integration of migrants into our community.

Australia is one of the most successful multicultural countries in the world and we should celebrate this and work to maintain it.

Harmony Week will be celebrated at Shalom College on College Assembly on Thursday 21 March 2024. It is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values.

One of the goals of Harmony Week is to acknowledge our diverse national, ethnic and religious backgrounds to help build an inclusive society, and to acknowledge and celebrate the enduring principles of fairness, harmony and respect.

The theme for Harmony Week is Everyone Belongs…may this always hold true for us here at Shalom College.

You are invited to our College Assembly this coming Thursday (21 March) @ 11:30am in the Sports Centre to join in our Harmony Week showcase.

Applications Close - Friday 19 April 2024 – ONLINE ENROLMENT >

If your child was not present for the recent meeting about Year 10 camp and did not receive a paper copy of the forms, please have them see me in my office as I have a few spares.

Each Head of House will be looking to develop leadership and teamwork with the students in their own house in each of their Camps. I know they look forward to this time each year.

Reminder that there are no phones on camp for obvious reasons but if students need to check in at home, then the Chaverim phone can be used.

Parents - Please go to Parent Lounge and accept your child’s Camp and update any medical details. We ask parents to do this because we print out each students medical details and put in a folder for each Head of House.

Camps start in Week 1 of Term 2 – so we need to be organised.

Shalom Tennis Update - 10-12 year Bundaberg Trials

On Friday 15 March, Shalom had several students trial for the 10-12 year Bundaberg Schools Tennis Team at Rotary Park Tennis Centre in Bundaberg. It was brilliant to see the number of students participate on the day including Tokoko W, Bryana C, Gabriel K, Amelia W, Indiannah D and Jai P – a fantastic turnout.

Once again, Shalom players performed extremely well with three players gaining selection in the Bundaberg tennis team. Congratulations go to Jai P, Amelia W and Indiannah D who all displayed their skills to make the team. These players are all highly capable and we are fortunate to have such talent at Shalom.

In addition, Gariel K is reserve for the Boys Team – well done Gabe. It is testament to the depth of tennis we have at our school with Bryana C and Tokoko W, both good tennis players in their own right.

Jai, Amelia and Indi will now travel to Hervey Bay on Friday 3 May to participate in the Wide Bay trials. Good luck to these players!!

If you are interested in volunteering at our College Tuckshop, we would love for you to indicate your availability and book a shift following the link below.

The booking system helps to accommodate our very much appreciated regular volunteers, but also families who may not be able to commit on a regular basis and have a day here or there throughout the year. 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 4155 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 2-3 hours (school drop off to around 11.30 am).

No experience required!
