Principal’s Reflection

Forty-six years of service to this College between Jan and Greg Aplin will conclude at the end of this week. Jan has been here for thirty-four years and Greg twelve. They have each made a tremendous contribution to Shalom. They have done their jobs well but, much more than that, Shalom has been much more than a job for each of them. They both have a deep and abiding investment in this community and the young people who go to school at Shalom. Each of them, on so many occasions, have gone above and beyond the call of duty and what they were paid to do. Seventy people gathered on Saturday night, representing many eras at Shalom, to farewell them and I was able to make a presentation to them on behalf of the College. They will both be deeply missed but we hope to continue to see them for many years around Shalom as they follow the progress of their grandchildren here. All are welcome to the Liturgy we will have on Wednesday at 8am in the Chapel to farewell Greg and Jan.

QISSN and QISSRL Carnivals commence next Sunday in Townsville for the Netball and Charters Towers for the Rugby League. These are always great events for our students who have all been training for these carnivals for many months. I have no doubt that they will do us proud. This time next year, Shalom will be ready to host both carnivals in the first week of the Semester break. This will be a huge undertaking for the College and a wonderful event for Bundaberg in general. The QISSN Netball will be held at the four courts now available at the PCYC and Multiplex centre and one at the College. The QISSRL football will be hosted at Across the Waves. We are very grateful for the sponsorship offered by Across the Waves that will make hosting both these events possible.

We also Farewell at the end of this term Mr Tony Hutchins who will be taking the next 18 months as Long Service Leave. Tony is another member of our staff who has been here since the College opened. We all hope Tony really enjoys this much deserved leave. His place as Head of Senior Religious Education will be taken by Ms Trish Ingall for Term 3 and we will welcome Mrs Sandra Freeman into this role and to the College from the start of Term 4. Mrs Freeman is a past and future parent at Shalom and is currently working at St Mary’s College in Maryborough.

School TV continues to produce some excellent Cyber resources for parents and the link in our webpage. If you listen to young people, you will be aware of a recent App called ‘Fortnite’ which has been very popular. For many young people, the addictive nature of this game is having adverse effects on children’s behaviour and affecting their mental health. With over 125 million registered players worldwide, this game encourages players to battle each other to death using a variety of weaponry. With an age rating of 13+, this game raises many cybersafety concerns. Unfortunately, it allows unmoderated chat between players, leaving children exposed to be contactable by 'randomers' online. This function alone makes it unsuitable for primary aged children. This month’s edition of School TV looks at this product and will help parents gain a greater insight into Fortnite and the concerns surrounding it. Parents are encouraged to reassess their gaming allowances and better manage technology usage at home.

Year 12 Formal 2019 - I had very much hoped to move the date of the Formal just a little forward from the Show Holiday week. Regrettably, we weren't able to get other things to align so, for 2019, we will still be the Saturday following the Show Holiday which will be Saturday June 1.

Mission

The Red Shield Appeal

The joy of giving was evident at Shalom last Thursday as so many students brought in coins for our Red Shield Appeal collection. Captain Chris from the Salvation Army spoke at our last College assembly and explained to the students how valuable every cent is when helping people in need in the Bundaberg area. He set the challenge as to which group of students could raise the most – the senior students or the junior. On Thursday, our students responded generously by bringing in hundreds of coins to cover 2 Red Shield Appeal banners. We are fairly certain the senior students won the day but we are waiting on a final figure. As you can imagine counting all these coins is a big job. Thank you to everyone who donated.

Quiet Achiever

This week’s quiet achiever is Year 12 student, Delvina Stewart. Delvina is breaking down workforce stereotypes and has proven herself to be a valuable team member at ACE Fabrications, where she is completing her school-based traineeship in engineering. Delvina is an inspiration to women in trades. By day you will find Delvina in the welding workshop dressed in her tradie get-up, but she recently wowed everyone at the formal looking very much the beautiful young lady that she is. Shalom’s very own tradie lady!

This coming Friday our Shalom QISSN netball team will depart for Townsville to compete in the 19th QISSN carnival. After nearly six months of preparation the twelve girls in Years 9-12 are looking forward to putting their skills to the test and playing in some tough competition. This year’s team is coached by Ms Natasha Cross and assistant coach Miss Georgia Hamilton, the team has made a lot of progress throughout training and trial games and will be tough to beat in Townsville. Thanks must also go to Mr McMahon and Mrs Pearson who will be travelling with the team as the official bus drivers and support staff.

The Shalom team consists of:

Maddelyn Batt – Captain
Taylor-Jane Hussey – Vice Captain
Amy Hamilton

Jade Tairawhiti
Zoe Hess
Tayla Pearson
Charlotte Boge
Kendal Dodd

This year two Shalom students Chelsea Brooks and Sarah Nash have volunteered to play with St Mary’s Catholic College Maryborough at the QISSN carnival, as this school was short of players. These girls have been attending training with the Shalom QISSN team and have participated in training and trial matches with the St Mary’s team. We look forward to watching them compete in Townsville and we wish them the best of luck.

This year’s QISSN trip has been significantly supported financially by the Shalom College Sports Department and the following businesses from the Bundaberg and Wide Bay region. Without these sponsors, the cost to all players would be significant. Please support these local businesses that have financially assisted the Shalom QISSN team in participating in this year’s carnival.

• Across the Waves Sports Club
• Rum City Foods
• A2B Transport
• Struddys Sport
• Ross Gray Motor City
• Zacs Meats

Rugby League

This year, the QISSRL Confraternity Rugby League carnival is taking place in Charters Towers, with Bundaberg set to host the event for the third time next year. Samuel Tobin is the Captain of the team with Jai Smith, a current member of the Serbian under 19’s team, his Vice-Captain. Much of the team are first timers with only four players backing up from last year’s difficult campaign in Brisbane. That being said, this year’s team is very talented as well as tough and are yet to reach their potential. They are very eager to start the competition and interestingly get a chance at their own State-of Origin with their first game occurring against St Mary’s Casino, from New South Wales. The other two teams in our initial pool include: Mt Maria College and St James’ College. Our first game is on Monday the 25th of June at 9:50 am, which is the first of 6 during the week. All field one games at the carnival are live-streamed through the QISSRL app. Our second game on Monday June 25 starts at 1:20 pm and is on field 1 against Mt Maria College. So, we hope that as many supporters of the college and Shalom Rugby League can tune in to see us play. We’d like to give a big shout out to our Confraternity sponsors: Rum City Foods and Across the Waves sporting club for their continued support. We’d also like to acknowledge our Rugby League sponsors: Beachside Tax and Accounting, Second to None Nutrition, 3bz Fitness, Bargara Real Estate and Barolin Physiotherapy Services who have been integral to helping our players achieve success this season.

Rugby League Match Report

On a chilly Wednesday night at Across the Waves, the Shalom opens rugby league side went up against a much more fancied Bundaberg State High School side in the BDSSS Broncos Challenge Cup final. Despite some significant injury blows before kick-off, Shalom were always a chance with Super-coach Mr Neil Feather at the helm. BSHS were able to take an early lead through a nice passage of play but were unable to convert what would be their only opportunity in the first half. Young centre Will Hema got Shalom off to a great start with some strong carries but ultimately it was errors and a lack of line speed that saw Shalom fail to wrestle back their dominance in the first half. However, it speaks wonders of how much they have developed as a squad with their defensive line sliding and working together throughout the first half – denying BSHS time and time again. Even young gun Arin Crook did brilliantly to defuse a tricky bomb with a leaping catch in the face of a charging brutal defence in what proved to be a crucial play in the first half which also won him Shalom’s Play of the Week. This grit in defence saw Shalom go into the break trailing only by 4 points. Things did not start particularly well in the second half with a player spilling his lollies off the kick off resulting in a line drop out. BSHS needed no further invitation and scored two tries in quick succession. Leading 14-0, BSHS began to run riot by opening us up through the ruck but some desperation defence from the likes of Jai Smith saved our blushes and kept us in the contest. Constant errors coming out of our own end denied us any chance of launching an attacking raid with the final score of 14-0 crowning Bundaberg State High the champions. Overall, it was a spirited effort from all players involved and they are building nicely towards the upcoming Confraternity competition these holidays. Lock Jai Smith was our Player of the Match and Players’ Player, while hooker Corey Picaro, front rower Bradley Edwards, second rower Jobe Lister and halfback Samuel Tobin were also stand-outs in a strong team performance.

Man of the Match Jai Smith

BDSSS Broncos Challenge

CONGRATULATIONS to our Shalom team who white-washed Bundaberg State High School 42-0 in the inaugural BDSSS Broncos Challenge Year 7 grand final.

We led just 10-0 at half-time after tries to powerhouse centre Thomas Morcom and lock Toby Kelly, but we upped the ante to add an unanswered 32 points in the second 25 minutes, with Captain and halfback Dawson Hess pulling the strings on an awesome team performance.

Thomas was unstoppable, finishing with 4 tries, with one each also to Jack Schmidt, Coen Philips and Ethan Brennan.

Thomas took out our ‘Man of the Match’ award, but there were many stars including Dawson, Sebastyn Brennan and Ezekiel Monckton.

Unfortunately, our Year 9 team was cruelled by injuries and after losing a few key players, they could field a bare 13 for their grand final against BSHS and that was the telling after as they went down 30-10.

We were first to score with a superb try to Mitchell Allen, converted by Flynn Purkis, but BSHS took a 14-6 lead with a converted try from a fortuitous bounce from a kick right on the break.

Shalom never stopped trying in the second stanza but a try to Wil Simmons was our only other joy.

Mitchell Allen, who played centre and wing, was our Man of the Match.

Year 7: Shalom 42 (Thomas Morcom 4, Jack Schmidt, Coen Philips, Ethan Brennan, Toby Kelly tries; Dawson Hess 3, Ethan Brennan, Sebastyn Brennan goals) d Bundaberg State High 0.

Rowing

Shalom rowers achieved six wins and many other placings in the 2018 Bundaberg and District Secondary Schools Head of the River Regatta at Bucca last week. Possibly one of their most cherished victories was that of Zane Haster, Angus McDonald, Tom Espe, Ryan Barber and Fletcher Crossett (cox) in the Schoolboys Quad Scull, also delivering a fitting tribute to their coach of the past few years Mr John Walters, who tragically passed away suddenly three weeks earlier. Our boys led before being overtaken in the last 200m by a strong St Luke’s crew, but Zane, Angus, Tom and Ryan, who have been tireless workers and wonderful servants throughout their years at Shalom, dug deep and reclaimed the lead in a driving finish right on the line. For the first time, the Head of the River was decided the result of the School Mixed Quad, instead of overall aggregate points as had been in all previous years, and Angus and Ryan teamed with Grace Pashley and Ryan’s sister Claire in that event, which was the last race on the program, and while they rowed their hearts out, they had to settle for a still very commendable third behind St Luke’s and Bundaberg State High. Shalom also flexed our muscle in the Schoolboys Under 16 Single Scull, filling the top four placings with Hamish Young taking out the honours in advance of Joshua Pole, Samuel Nelson and Patrick Waters. Fletcher Crossett also coxed the crew of Timothy Chaplin, Seth Vincent, Denyin Rose and Tallan Foster to triumph in the Year 8 Quad, with our other crew in this event placing third, Breeanna De Florian, Baiden Howard, Matthew Parker, Lincoln Dwyer and Oliver Jansen (cox). Baiden Howard also joined forces with Will Shield to clinch the gold medal in the Year 8 Double. Sarah Waters powered to a superb win in the Girls Under 13 Single, while Jayde Bradshaw, Anna Nicolson, Allie Wenning and Kaitlyn Rochford beat all comers in the Girls Year 8 Quad. Zane, Ryan, Tom and Angus with also runners-up to St Luke’s in the Schoolboys Coxed Four, with Timothy Chaplin in the cox seat, with other silver medals secured by Zachary Christiansen and Samuel Nelson (Boys Year 8 Double); Zachary, Samuel, Darcy Hensel, Patrick Waters and Fletcher Crossett (Boys Year 9 Quad); Anna Nicolson, Claire Barber, Grace Pashley, Amy Snare and Allie Wenning (Girls Year 10 Quad); and Grace Pashley (Schoolgirls Under-17 Single)

Other bronze medals were taken out by Joshua Pole and Hamish Young (Boys Year 10 Double); Kaitlyn Rochford (Girls Under-14 Single); Liam Mader, Kai Ryan, Baiden Howard, Will Shield and Timothy Chaplin (cox) (Boys Year 7 Quad); Lincoln Dwyer (Boys Under-14 Single); Francesca Thomson and Lana Amos (Schoolgirls Double); Darcy Hensel, Samuel Nelson, Hamish Young, Joshua Pole and Fletcher Crossett (cox) (Boys Year 10 Quad); Allie Wenning and Kaitlyn Rochford (Girls Year 8 Double); Finley Christiansen and Sarah Waters (Girls Year 7 Double); Finley, Sarah, Emily Evans, Breeanna De Florian and Allie Wenning (cox) (Girls Year 7 Quad); Lana Amos, Francesca Thomson, Amy Snare, Trinity Gough and Emily Evans (cox) (Schoolgirls Quad); Fletcher Crossett (Boys Under-13 Single); Tallan Foster and Timothy Chaplin (Boys Year 8 Double) and Anna Nicolson (Girls Under-15 Single).

Cambodia Trip Trivia Night

How can Year 7 persuade you to ‘Design it Clean’?

Year 7 students have truly engaged with their 'Design it Clean' persuasive campaign over Term 2, with our integrated approach in English 'Persuasive Text' and Geography 'Water in the World', with a focus on the 21st Century skill communication.

Our driving question - How can we effectively persuade the public to change ideas and habits to keep our water clean? - allowed students to work in teams to research local and global case studies of issues of concern.

Each student immersed themselves in their learning journey, which has involved the research of persuasive arguments, persuasive texts and letters, language features, text structure, vocabulary choice and persuasive devices to strengthen their argument. Geographical terminology and inquiry developed through source evaluation of the origin and purpose of a source, framing inquiry questions for a geographical study, climate graph interpretation and constructing graphs, local and global geographical case studies, water usage study, water scarcity and availability and fine-tuning their own research skills. All these skills formed the foundations of their persuasive campaign.

Students constructed a persuasive letter to our local Mayor regarding an area of concern in keeping our local water source clean for public use. All elements of their inquiry and research in the ‘Design it Clean’ campaign, built to a culmination of a team persuasive video campaign, using their global case study of a country with water challenges.

On Friday 15th of June, students presented to their audience of Year 12 buddies, to showcase their persuasive video campaigns on access to clean water on their chosen global country. A google site was created to host these videos which you can view using a device. Please remember if using an iPhone to check Settings – safari – switch off block pop-ups.

Over this term, students have further enhanced collaborative skills in their teams as well as established protocols for communication, which has demonstrated growth and progress in their learning and engagement. Students have evaluated the skill of communication against Bloom's Taxonomy criteria and used their thinking routines to complete a communication self-evaluation. All part of their journey as self-managers, to develop the attributes of resilience, responsibility and reflection, as well as developing a growth mindset.

What an inspiration it is for us to teach such dedicated students with a passion for inquiring further with their learning! Watch out 21st Century, Year 7 Shalom College students are ready to challenge global viewpoints.

Year 12 Health Education Sun Safety Kiosk

This was a great incentive to get students reapplying sunscreen throughout the day.
