Principal’s Reflection

On Wednesday morning, eighteen young men and women from Year 11 will join me at the annual ‘White Ribbon’ breakfast. This event is held each year to highlight the issue of Domestic Violence in this country. It is such a tragedy that events like this one have to be staged at all but the statistics in this area are frightening.

Whilst it is true that sometimes men are the victims of Domestic Violence, it is overwhelming true that men are responsible for most Domestic Violence. I hope that the young men in our community learn very early in their lives that respect is always paramount in any relationship and that it is just unforgiveable for a man to raise his hand against a woman.

The Last P&F Meeting for 2017

The last P&F Meeting will be on in the Staff room this evening from 5.30pm. All welcome.

Last week of the Year

In the next day or so you will receive an email from Mrs Austin-Campbell outlining the schedule of activities that will be on offer for Year 7-9 students next week.

Year 12 Farewell

We had a wonderful farewell for our Year 12 students and their families last Friday. Assistant Principal Mission, Mrs Kim O’Shea-Hard, once again, brought together a beautiful and meaningful liturgy as we said good bye to so many students and families who have made such a great contribution to this community.

Laptop Leasing Programme Year 10-12

We’ve had a few parents querying why the College would be ensuring that repairs are made to devices leased to students. It is important for us, as we still own the device, to ensure that any damage is attended in line with warranty procedures and to ensure that damage does not get worse.

Ms Claire Stallard Update

Ms Claire Stallard, our Rice House Coordinator, as many are aware, has faced a very significant challenge with Cancer over the past eighteen months. Claire recently went for a thorough scan and was pronounced ‘cancer free’. This is a fantastic result for Claire and a real answer to a lot of prayer and hard work on her part and that of her very large support network.

Quiet Achiever

Chisholm House

Harry Packwood is the epitome of silent achiever. He is successful in his studies, but also contributes huge amounts of time to House events. For the last two years he has competed in every House competition, including over eight events in our Athletics Carnival victories for the past two winters. Recently, Harry established the ‘Chisholm Lotto’, with no additional support, he raised over $150 for Caritas. Harry is not just a great example to Chisholm students, but to all Shalom students.

Historical Writing Competition Winners

Joshua Burt and Rory Delaney were awarded Highly Commended in the QHTA Historical Writing Competition.

Every year the Queensland History Teachers’ Association (QHTA) holds a historical writing competition to reward the excellent work completed by history students in years 7-12 across the state. This year a number of senior Ancient and Modern History and junior history students entered work they had completed during 2017 for their assessment tasks. All of the entries were judged by their teachers as excellent pieces of historical research; however, two students who entered have been especially recognised with Highly Commended awards. Congratulations to Joshua Burt, year 12 student and top student in Ancient and Modern History in 2017, who was awarded highly commended for his Ancient History piece on the lessons of the downfall of the Byzantine Empire. Congratulations also to year 11 Modern History student Rory Delaney who was awarded highly commended for his piece on Indian independence. These young men will have their work published in an upcoming edition of the QHTA magazine.

Simon Rathbone, Matthew Adcock

the Prizemoney cheque from Mr
Bob Cremer at the Cane2Coral
Distribution of Funds

Two of our Cane2Coral Team’s driving forces, who will also be House Captains in 2018, Matthew Adcock and Simon Rathbone, attended the recent Cane2Coral Funds Distribution with me at the Friendly Society Private Hospital, receiving a cheque for $453.50. This was made up of prize money for the Largest Secondary School Team in the event for the second year in a row, along with 10% of our team members’ registration fees. A number of very worthy charities were nominated by our team members as recipients of the funds but after due consideration, Principal Mr Dan McMahon chose Centacare’s Helping the Homeless Program as the beneficiary for this year. The proceeds will go towards updating facilities to ensure homeless people in Bundaberg have access to showers and washing/drying facilities near the Dorcas Kitchen in Woongarra Street. A total of $59,856 was distributed to local charities and community organisations from the event.

Please mark the date for next year’s Cane2Coral on your calendar: Sunday 5 August 2018.

After winning the award with teams of 41 and 62 respectively for the past 2 years, my goal for the team next year is 100+.

Matthew Pozzebon – Most Outstanding Batsman and Bowler for the Open team in the State T20 Competition

We had a sausage sizzle lunch and presentation of awards for our Open and Intermediate cricket teams last week to acknowledge their performances in the State T20 Competition over the past few months. Both teams won the Central Zone (Gladstone, Bundaberg, Maryborough, Gympie) titles on finals day at Kendall’s Flat, before venturing to Maroochydore for the Southern Conference finals against the North, South and Independent Zone champions, where both went down fighting in the semi-finals. Our Open team then went in the play-off for third position, placing us Top 8 in the state, while our Intermediate team wound up Top 6 for the second year in a row with almost the same team as in 2016. Inspirational Open team Captain Matthew Pozzebon took out the awards for both Most Outstanding Batsman and Most Outstanding Bowler, while three players could not be split for Most Improved – Jamisen Elliott, Liam Heads and Lachlan Sarnadsky. Brendan Grills, who only transferred to the College in Term 2 this year, was Most Outstanding Batsman in the Intermediate team, with leg spinner Jack Gray the Most Outstanding Bowler, and Tom Martin the Most Improved. We are looking forward to even bigger and better things in the competition in 2018.

BDSSS Rugby 7s Grand Final Day.

Last Wednesday afternoon saw all four Shalom Rugby 7s teams take part in the BDSSS Rugby 7s Finals day at St Luke’s Anglican School.

In the first semi-final for Under 15, Shalom Red defeated Shalom Black in a hard fought and entertaining match. Both teams were locked at one try a-piece until just before the final siren when Harrison Bull was fortunate to score a break-away try and seal the win for Red.

This lead to Shalom Black taking on Isis State High School in the 3 Vs 4 playoff, while Shalom Red went on to the grand-final against Bundaberg State High School (Bundaberg State High School defeating Isis in the second semi-final). Both matches followed a similar pattern, with scores being close at half time before both Isis and Bundaberg High kicked away in the second halves. Final scores were Isis 21 defeating Shalom Black 12, and Bundaberg 22 defeating Shalom Red 5. Congratulations to the winning teams who both played a fast pace game and were able to capitalise on chances in broken play. Shalom teams can certainly hold their heads high for their determination and match play.

The under 13 Shalom Black and Red teams rounded off a successful competition by both winning their semi-finals against St Luke’s and Bundaberg Christian College respectively. This lead to an all Shalom grand-final. Another entertaining and close match between two Shalom teams, with five tries a-piece. Shalom Black prevailed by a single conversion, winning 29 – 27. Shalom Red were certainly unlucky after being unbeaten throughout the season. Mason Simpson (Black) and Lane Crossley-Price (Red) were outstanding throughout the season. Even the scrums were great to watch with Dylan Gorman (Red) and Connor Smith (Black) providing a great head to head match up.

Thanks to our players for their commitment to training and playing over a busy term 4, and a special thank you to our coaches and managers – Brendan Maher, Karen Miller-Smith and Blake Hornbrook.

We look forward to players continuing their involvement in Rugby 7s in 2018, with the Fraser Coast 7s tournament being held at Fraser Coast Anglican College on Saturday 17 March.

Surf Life Saving

Ky Woods, Jasmyn Theuerkauf, Baylee Holden and Jackson Lester

Congratulations to Baylee Holden, Jackson Lester and Ky Woods who were chosen in the Surf Life Saving Queensland Country Under 13 to 17 team. They all excelled for their clubs at the 2017 North Australian Championships at Harbour Beach, Mackay on 3-5 November. Congratulations also to Jasmyn Theuerkauf who was named as a Reserve for the team. Year 9 students Ky and Thomas Pascoe (both of the Bundaberg SLSC) and Year 8 Baylee (Elliott Heads SLSC) were Shalom’s most successful competitors at the titles, each with two gold medals. Ky shone on the beach in the Under 15 Male division, beating all comers in the Flags and clinching silver in the Sprint, with Thomas winding up fourth. Ky, Thomas and Geordan Zunker (Year 9) scored a famous victory in the Under 15 Surf Board Relay, with fellow year 9 school and club-mates Jasmyn, Ella McCaig and Geordan’s twin sister Olivia Zunker forming an all-female combination which placed eighth in that event. Thomas triumphed in the Under 15 Male Champion Lifesaver, ahead of Ky. Ky, Thomas and Geordan were part of the Under 15 Beach Relay silver medal winning team, while Thomas finished a gallant third in the Surf Board Race. Thomas partnered Geordan to cross the line in fourth position in the Surf Board Rescue. Thomas and Geordan were joined by Ella in the team which ran fourth in the Under 15 Cameron Relay. Ky, Thomas and the Zunker twins grabbed fifth in the Under 15 Surf Teams race, one position higher than an all-female Elliott Heads foursome comprising Baylee and Year 9’s Jasmine Dooley, Rachel McDonald and Sarah Nash.

Baylee’s victories came in the Pool Rescue events, claiming individual gold in the women’s 15 and Under 100m Manikin Tow with Fins and team gold with Year 9s Rachel, Jasmine and Sarah in the women’s 13-16 years 200m 4x50m Medley Relay. She also came second in the 100m Manikin Carry with Fins and a close third in the women’s 15 and Under 100m Obstacle Swim. Baylee also showed her talents on the sand and in the surf, finishing excellent thirds in both the Under 15 Female 2km Beach Run and Surf Board Race and a brave fifth in the Ironwoman. Baylee also teamed with Sarah to place fifth in the Surf Board Rescue.

Year 11 student Jackson Lester (Bundaberg SLSC) performed strongly in all events in the Under 17 Male division, picking up silver in the Beach Flags and bronze in the Beach Sprint and placing fourth in the Surf Ski, one position ahead of Elliott Heads’ Kiah Everingham. Jackson was also part of the silver medal winning Open and Under 17 Male Beach Relay teams.

Year 8 Shalom students picked up the Under 14 Champion Lifesaver double with Oliver Collins and his Bundaberg club-mate Rachel Findlay-Udris the Male and Female winners respectively. Rachel and Fletcher Ace (Year 7) were members of the teams which grabbed fifth in the Surf Teams and sixth in the Cameron Relay, while Rachel was one of the trio that clinched seventh in the Surf Board Relay.

Ella McCaig took out the Under 15 Female Champion Lifesaver title with Jasmyn Theuerkauf in third position, while Jasmyn was the district’s best in the Beach events in the category, grabbing second in the Flags and fourth in the Sprint.

Kiah also came to the fore, snaring second in the Under 17 Male 2km Beach Run and a very creditable fifth in the Open Male Surf Board race, and being part of the Elliott Heads teams which placed a superb third in the Open Male Surf Board Relay and fifth in the Open Male Beach relay, and the duo which came home fifth in the Under 17 Surf Board Rescue. In the Pool Rescue series, Kiah placed seventh in both the men’s 17 and U 50m Manikin Carry and 100m Manikin Carry with Fins.

Sarah Nash shone in the pool with three solo medals. Silver in the women’s 15 and Under 50m Manikin Carry and bronze in the 100m Manikin Tow with Fins and 100m Manikin Carry with Fins, also winding up fifth in the 100m Obstacle Swim.

Fletcher Ace was also among the medals with his third in the men’s 14 & Under 50m Manikin Carry, as well as placing fifth in the Under 14 Male 2km Beach Run, Surf Board Race and 100m Manikin Tow with Fins, and sixth in the 100m Obstacle Swim.

Three other Elliott Heads young guns were also in the mix with Year 7 student Bonnie Stephenson achieving fifth in the Under 13 Female Beach Flags, Jasmine Dooley coming to the fore in the pool, gaining fifth in the women’s 15 & U 100m Manikin Carry with Fins, sixth in the 100m Manikin Tow with Fins and eighth in the 50m Manikin Carry, and Rachel McDonald aiming up to be eighth in the women’s 15 & U 100m Manikin Tow with Fins.

The Queensland Country team will travel to compete at the State Inter branch Championships against Sunshine Coast, South Coast and Point Danger branches at Miami Pool and Nobby’s Beach on 24 and 25 November, with three other Shalom connections to the team in the form of Laboratory Technician Mr John Davis the Chaperone and Gear Steward, his wife Julie the team manager, and their elder son Ben, a former student at the college who was also employed on the Ground Staff before heading overseas earlier this year the team, the Head Coach.

Rugby League Report

Shalom and The Cathedral College players come together after their Development Carnival matches

Shalom’s under 16 and under 14 rugby league teams performed well at the Development Carnival which we hosted on 4 and 5 November, with games played at The Waves Sports Complex on Saturday and on our field on the Sunday. On Saturday, our under-16s went down to Bundaberg State High 16 nil and then 12-0 to a The Cathedral College (TCC) Rockhampton side which included former Shalom student Jack Roelofs. Our under-14 team, half of which were under-13’s, defeated Bundaberg High 22 nil, which was a reversal of the Broncos Challenge grand final result in August.

The Sunday results saw TCC win both games comfortably against our two teams.

The under 14s did a great job beating the current regional age champs, BSHS, and gained plenty of experience against TCC that, to their credit, put into practice in the longer, Sunday morning game.

Lots of players did really well. In the under 14s the Druce twins Alexander and Mack did a great job in the middle of the field, while many of the under 13s also shone, especially Lane Crossley-Price, Mitchell Allen, and Mason Simpson.

In the Under 16s matches, many players also impressed, but Isaac Coyne, who was playing his first ever game of Rugby League, really aimed up against two teams that would be in the top 10 in North Queensland, while Under 15s Corey Picaro, Harrison Bull and Jai Smith, who was an integral member of the Open team this year including at the Confraternity Carnival, were other stand-outs.

The purpose of the games was purely procedural though, as both groups were seeking to be competitive in the ruck and work on winning tackles. The Under 16s, after losing to TCC in Rockhampton last year to the tune of 80 points, were certainly very happy with their progress in gaining ruck control. The Under 14s also saw big improvements in their ability to win the ruck in the Sunday morning game. It also must be said that the level of commitment shown by each of the Under 14s players was outstanding. They only had 15 players on Saturday night and had two injuries. Almost the whole team was playing out of their preferred position and each of them arrived on time on Sunday morning to play against a very physical and fast TCC team. I'm very proud of them for that and also of the fact that those young men are embodying the tough physical and mental attitude that is becoming the standard for Shalom Rugby League.

In Term 1 of 2018, our Rugby League groups will play some trials against Mountain Creek in Gympie with several other trials, for the Opens group to follow against Xavier College, Hervey Bay, and the hopeful commencement of the school Rugby League season in term 2.

All players will be expected to train over the holiday period with supplied programs as well as gym and fitness sessions at the College.

I look forward to continuing to develop the skills and fitness of our Rugby League players as well as introducing a new group of players in to the program in 2018.
