Principal’s Reflection
I am writing this on Mothers’ Day having watched my kids make their mother wear a dodgy paper crown around the house all morning with the words, ‘World’s Best Mother’ written all over it. Trawling through FaceBook this morning, there are so many beautiful posts by so many people about their Mums and it just reminds me how powerful the role of ‘mother’ is and how important family is to all of us. Families are never perfect. Very few are exactly the same. That said, for the vast majority of us, despite differences, mistakes and idiosyncrasies, family will be our primary support throughout life. More important and more faithful than best friends. Family hang in there for the long haul. Having relationships strained in families is not uncommon and hopefully all of us get the time we need in life to heal hurts. I was talking to the Year 12s on Retreat this week as they had an opportunity to reflect on how important their parents have been in their life. I mentioned to them how grateful I am that I was in my 30s when my Dad passed away.
We had grown close by then and I had an enormously different experience of him later in life than when I was 17. At that point, we butted heads and I desperately didn’t want to be like him. That changed over time. We both mellowed and I am so grateful for those latter years. Not everyone is that lucky but it does remind me about the powerful impact my Mum and Dad and brothers and sister had on me. I should have told them that more often. I mentioned in last week’s Newsletter about Gemma Henricksen (Senior 2010) and the health battles she now has on her hands. There was a really nice article in a NewsMail this week following her representation of local Surf Life Saving at a Gala last weekend. Gemma raised almost $20,000 for Surf Life Saving. Her family have rallied around her at a really difficult time. I am FaceBook friends with younger sister Kelsey (Senior 2015) who was a ‘Gap Year’ Teacher Assistant at Shalom last year and I was really taken with the post Kelsey made on the night of the Gala and the pictures she posted. Family is so important. I hope and pray that my children would have the home that would enable them to support each other like the Henricksen kids when things get really tough – as they inevitably will for us all.
“I think it says a lot about a person by who they look up to, who they aspire to be, how to act and what to drive towards.
Gem, you are all of those things to me, my best friend, my role model, the biggest celebrity in my life.
Every day you show me more and more reasons to push myself and strive towards what I want to do with my life.
The last 19 years I have constantly followed your footsteps ‘cause I always thought you were cool. But these last few years and especially these last few weeks, you have astounded me with everything you do. Last night was a clear example of you striving towards something you feel so passionate about – Surf Life Saving, the beach and giving back to people. You are beautiful, you are strong and you are always a winner to me. I could not be more grateful to have you by my side.”
Learner Conferences
Learner Conferences are on Tuesday evening this week. It is always good to have your child participate in the discussion with their teachers whenever possible.
Easter Faith
It has been wonderful to welcome a number of the Shalom community into the Catholic faith over the Easter season. We’ve had teacher, Angela Samways and her son Harrison baptised at Easter and last night, Board Chair, Mrs Tanya O’Shea and students Alani Morley (Rice House) and Zane Groves (MacKillop House). The Catholic Church is a better community for their participation.
Fr John Daly Retirement
Fr John Daly retires as our Parish Priest next weekend. Shalom could not have had a better friend, mentor, guide or pastor than Fr John. He is an outstanding man and a wonderful priest. Happily, Fr John is not looking to leave his home town of Bundaberg and won’t be a stranger here in his retirement. Pastors of his integrity, wisdom and spirituality are a real gift to the Church and the world.
Federal Funding
Federal Funding for Catholic Schools remains a much talked about issue post budget. Some things have clarified in the last week but more discussion needs to take place between Catholic School authorities and the Federal Government. Shalom is very grateful to our local member Mr Keith Pitt, for the access he has provided for Shalom and other local Catholic schools in discussions with the Minister’s office. Attached is a Q&A sheet provided for parents by the Catholic Education Office in Rockhampton.
My Appraisal
Anyone wishing to participate in this process are welcome to contact Mr Stephen Dale by emailing stephen_dale@rok.catholic.edu.au.

Health Notice
Head Lice Alert
It has been reported to the school that head lice are currently an issue in the community.
Head lice are a very common problem in schools everywhere in the world. They are not a threat to health and do not transmit disease, however if they are not treated effectively, they can continue to spread throughout a community. Anyone can get head lice. They are not a sign of poor hygiene. They have no preference for hair colour, hair type or age.
All parents should check their children and other family members for head lice regularly as early detection decreases treatment time and helps break the breeding cycle.
Queensland Health advises that the most effective way to detect head lice is by using the hair conditioner and combing method. This method along with other treatment advice can be found on the Qld Health website at:
http://conditions.health.qld.gov.au/HealthConditions/2/Infections-Parasites/101/Parasites/276/Head-Lice?version=pdf&preview=False
The College requests that families make regular checks of their children at this time so that the breeding cycle can be broken.
As well as following the treatment recommendations on the Queensland Health Website, children should also be advised to:
- Avoid head to head contact
- Keep long hair tied back or in plaits
- Do not share brushes, combs or pillows

Taking Care of Business
Financial Literacy is an essential part of everyday life, it is relevant to both teenagers and parents. It is important that today’s teenagers have a financial life for their whole life, yet nearly all will have no or very limited exposure to financial life skills education.
The Business Education Faculty in conjunction with the Shalom College P & F have subscribed to The Wealth Academy. As a subscriber the school and our school community has access to a variety of resources targeting financial literacy for teenagers. The program aims to help build financial capability across the community, as these issues can be a significant concern. As parents and community members I encourage you to log onto The Wealth Academy website (details below) and look at the variety of resources available.

Where are they now? Shalom Edition
Name: Matthew Gavin
Graduating Year: 2011
Current Role: Secondary School Teacher
What qualifications and work experience have you gained since graduating high school?
Since leaving Shalom in 2011, I have graduated from the School of Human Movement Studies at the University of Queensland with a degree in Health, Sport and Physical Education. Since I graduated just over a year ago, I have worked on contract as a HPE/Junior Science teacher at Rochedale State High School and I am now working at Wynnum State High School as a Science/Mathematics teacher teaching Year 8 Maths, Year 8 Science, Year 9 Science, Year 10 Science and Year 11 Biology. With a year or so of experience in teaching, I am thoroughly enjoying myself even though teaching was not my first choice.
What has been the most rewarding, challenging or interesting experience in your study or work so far?
During my time at university, I felt that I needed an offset to study and decided to take a few guitar lessons. I picked up guitar really quickly and started to sing. My teacher at the time thought I was quite good at singing and so I decided to do a little bit of busking. Long story short, busking has now turned into a music business which sees me singing at weddings and boutique bars most weekends. The weddings can be quite stressful at times, but I love it and it has become a real passion of mine; not to mention the pocket money it earns me.
How did your senior studies contribute or impact on your tertiary study and/or career choices?
I started university in the field of human movement studies so that I could progress into Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy. This is clearly not what happened. Once at uni, I studied subjects similar to physiotherapists and occupational therapists and I quickly decided that those career paths were not for me. I decided that I wanted to work with vibrant youth rather than working with older people. I wanted to influence kids the way that I was positively influenced by teaching staff at Shalom College and many of my coaches in the sporting arena too. I did quite a lot of coaching with my sport and as a school leader, I got a lot of pride and joy from influencing younger students. That said, I have stuck with teaching and as I mentioned, I am thoroughly enjoying it and am looking forward to teaching in the UK for a couple of years, in a year or two's time.
Can you identify one invaluable thing that you learned at Shalom?
Between the music and my teaching, I am really happy with how things have progressed over the past six years since I graduated from Shalom. Shalom certainly gave me the foundation that I needed to succeed. Although Shalom had no bearing on how I progressed after school, it certainly pointed me in the right direction. And after that, it was up to me to get to where I am now.
What advice can you offer to current students interested in your field?
I thought that I would leave you with a piece of advice that you may want to pass on to students. It comes from a past student who has aged in a generation similar to the generation of current students, where having a qualification is almost essential to success. "The only person that can decide whether you are going to succeed is you. You have many people around you including peers, teachers, parents and your family. All of these people want to see you succeed and if they don't want to see you succeed, then they are not people that you should have in your life. You need to take the amazing opportunities that you have with a school like Shalom, with the teachers that you have at Shalom, with the opportunities that you have with your chosen peers and your given family members, and with the skills and talents that you possess as an individual. Find the right people to guide you, but take the leap yourself and you will find yourself standing where you want to be. You are the only person that can change you and your successes.”
Where are they now? is semi-regular feature where we hope to profile many past students to learn more about their successes and achievements post Shalom. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in being featured in Where are they now? please email Mrs Patricia Allen at allenp@shalomcollege.com.

ConocoPhillips Science Experience
The ConocoPhillips Science Experience is a fun 3 or 4 days of science activities for Year 9 and 10 students in 2017.
Each program is designed to provide students who have an interest in science with an opportunity to engage in a wide range of fascinating science activities under the guidance of scientists who love their work.
The program takes place in over thirty-five universities and tertiary institutions, within many different laboratories and lecture theatres. Participants perform experiments in the laboratories, meet and hear senior lecturers in the lecture theatres, attend site visits and walk around and experience what it is like to be on the campus of a university or tertiary institution. More than 65,000 students have taken this rare opportunity, up to date.
The program also provides information about further studies in science, technology and engineering. It highlights the wide range of careers that allow students to pursue their interest and abilities in the sciences.
One aspect of the program often commented on by participants is the opportunity to meet and share ideas with students from different schools. Each program includes a BBQ or other social activity.

Shalom rowers won eight events at the first BDSSS Head of the River Lead-up Regatta at Bucca on Sunday. Shalom performed well with many other good performances recorded by our team members. Congratulations goes to Grace Pashley and Hamish Young who were our singles winners at the regatta with Grace powering to victory in the U16 Girls, and Hamish outgunning team-mates Joshua Pole, Samuel Nelson and Patrick Waters as Shalom filled the top four first placings in the U15 Boys event. Grace also combined with Amy Snare, Clare Evans, Ellie Greer and Taitum Staley (cox) to take out the Year 9 Girls Coxed Quad. Hamish also joined forces with Joshua Pole, Darcy Hensel and debutant Reece Santalucia to win in the Year 9 Boys Coxed Quad. Samuel, Patrick and Darcy also teamed up with Zachary Christiansen to lead the field home in the Year 8 Boys Coxed Quad, while Zachary and Patrick edged out Darcy and Samuel in a Shalom quinella in the Year 8 Boys Double.
We had two other triumphant doubles pairings, Ellie Greer and Claire Barber in Year 9 Girls, and Ella Creighton and Anna Nicolson in Year 7 Girls. Anna also placed second in the U14 Girls Single. After representing Shalom well at the Nationals during the Easter school holidays, Ethan Weder finished a gallant second in the U17 Boys Single. Our year 7s also showed promise at their first regatta, with Tallan Foster shading Matthew Parker for third in U13 Boys Single field and also taking third with Lincoln Dwyer in the Year 7 Double and Allie Wenning our best in the U13 Girls, snaring third.

Recently, Shalom had four students play in the Bundaberg 12 Years School Girls Netball held in Hervey Bay. Angel Cory, Holly Crossley-Price, Tegan Mason and Tia Church. All girls played extremely well throughout the carnival and Bundaberg dominated and was undefeated. Well done!
Angel Cory, Holly Crossley-Price and Tegan Mason were also selected in the Wide Bay side to compete in the State Champions held at Brisbane in June.
Congratulations to all the girls.
Football (Soccer)
Shalom students Blayne Burrows, Connor Patterson and Patrick McMahon were selected in the Bundaberg team at the School Boys Trials for football that played in Hervey Bay last Thursday and Friday.
Patrick was successful in making it into the Wide Bay team and will play at State Carnival in July this year.
Well done boys!
