Principal’s Reflection

It’s not a bad thing that our young people get put under pressure. It’s all about how we handle it. We have just had Learner Conferences last week for our younger students and NAPLAN is on this week. End of Semester exams won’t be that far away. Managing stress is a vital learning in life – for young and older people! I think the following story reminds us all that we need to always keep things in perspective.

A Father passing by his teenage daughter’s bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was neat and tidy. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the pillow. It was addressed “Dad”. With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:-

Dear Dad, it is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you, but I’m leaving home. I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you. I’ve been finding real passion with Randy and he is so nice to me. I know when you meet him you’ll like him too – even with all his piercings, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But it’s not only the passion Dad, I’m pregnant and Randy said that he wants me to have the child and that we can be very happy together. Even though Randy is much older than me (anyway, 42 isn’t so old these days is it?), and has no money, really these thing shouldn’t stand in the way of our relationship, don’t you agree? Randy has a great CD collection; he already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It’s true he has other girlfriends as well but I know he’ll be faithful to me in his own way. He wants to have many more children with me and that’s now one of my dreams too. Randy taught me that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone and he’ll be growing it for us and we’ll trade it with our friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we’ll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it! Don’t worry Dad, I’m fifteen years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I’m sure we’ll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your loving daughter,
Rosie

At the bottom of the page were the letters “PTO”. Hands still trembling, her father turned the sheet, and read:

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at the neighbour’s house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that’s in my desk centre drawer. Please sign it and call when it is safe for me to come home. I love you!

Great Reminder in that story of the presentation on May 27th by Madonna King about the special relationships that can be built between Dads and their daughters! Also, I am very pleased to let families know that, through our Parents & Friends, we have secured a night at Shalom for parents with Samuel Johnson – actor and recent winner of ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Samuel will be in Bundaberg for a Gala dinner on Friday June 14. He will speak to Shalom students on the Thursday and will offer a talk to parents in our Theatre on Thursday evening June 13th. Put it in your diary!!

Thank You to Mrs Sharon Stevenson our Clothing Store Coordinator, who has decided to move on from Shalom at the end of this week. Managing our Uniform Store is a big job and can be, at times, fairly stressful. We wish Sharon every best wish as she moves forward.

Year 12 Catholic Education Indigenous Leadership Camp 2019

Last week was the annual Year 12 Catholic Education Indigenous Leadership camp for 2019. Four Shalom students Reshae Wallace-Little, Casey Wigg, Keeley Bauer and Georgia Cutmore made the trip to Yeppoon, Capricorn Coast PCYC. With over six High schools within the Diocesan represented the students had a great experience with making new friends and memories for life. The students had the chance to be part of creating the end of year Celebration Mass artwork and the student reflection speech which will be read during the Mass in October, as well as participating in fun team building activities, an afternoon at the beach and roasting marshmallows around the camp fire at night while having a yarn and listening to music with their new friends. Students also had to perform at the talent show which pushed them out of their comfort zones, yet they enjoyed this immensely.

Shalom will be taking our Year 11 Indigenous students to their annual Catholic education Indigenous Leadership camp from Tuesday 4 June – Thursday 6 June and I’m sure they will also have an experience of a lifetime.

Science & Engineering Challenge 2019

On Tuesday 7 May, Shalom sent a team of 32 students to the Science and Engineering Challenge held at the Bundaberg Recreational Precinct. The Science and Engineering Challenge is a day-long competition designed to provide Year 9 & 10 students with a positive experience of Science and Engineering.

Each school provides 8 teams of 3 or 4 students. Each team is assigned a challenge in which they must design, build and test something in order to solve a problem. There are 8 possible challenges for students to choose from including designing, building and testing a Mars Rover, bionic hand, earthquake-proof tower and bridge.

Shalom students showed some exceptional enthusiasm in these challenges displaying excellent problem-solving skills to take third place overall on the day. Performances across all groups were consistently high, however, special mention goes to two groups. The group of Caya Akasaka-Marshall, Holly Kitchen, Flynn Ingall and Hannah Medcalf showed excellent problem-solving skills and teamwork to win the Confounding Communications challenge – an excellent performance. The team of Amara Burns, Ella Creighton, Holly Cahill and Bradley Balchin showed not only great skill but also courage in the process of winning the bridge-building challenge as this challenge is performed at the end of the day in front of all the schools. A video of this challenge is attached – check out the amazing bridge design.

Once again our students participated in the great spirit that Shalom is known for and the day was enjoyed by all who attended.

Quiet Achiever

This week’s quiet achiever couldn’t be singled out to one particular person. Last week McAuley year ten students went to camp and every single one of them was a perfect candidate for quiet achiever. This group of wonderful young men and women worked so well together as a team making sure they supported each other, encouraged each other and cooperated together to perform every activity, task or job they were given to do. Their ability to show respect, comfort, understanding and MERCY where needed was wonderful to see. Together (and along with a terrific camp program) they made the most of the three days they had and as a group have formed a very tight bond. We were very fortunate to be joined by former McAuley Captain and 2019 Gappy Matthew Addcock at camp. It was a privlidge to share this time with these enthusiastic Year 10 students and watch how they made sure they were able to SHINE.

She’s focused on the future, and nothing and no one is going to get in her way.

A story about rumours, friendship, and discovering who you really are”. (Goodreads)

T20 Cricket

SHALOM is again the Bundaberg champions in both the Open and Intermediate (Years 7-8-9) divisions of the Street Smart Queensland Secondary Schools Cricket T20 Challenge after both teams scored comprehensive victories against Bundaberg Christian College and St Luke’s Anglican School respectively in the District finals at Kendall’s Flat last week.

The Open team amassed 9-164 with the first 4 batsman laying the platform, with Kynan Hard scoring 38, Matthew Jackson 21 and Adam Pozzebon and Brendan Grills each notching 22. Shalom then restricted BCC to 7-80 with spinner Jack Gray the main destroyer with 3-17, and Aaron Cunnington, Kynan, Jordan Condon and Ethan Rach snaring one wicket each. Wicket-keeper Edward Ryan also effected two good stumpings.

Our Intermediate team recovered from the loss of a wicket on the first ball of their innings to rack up an almost imposing 3-166 with opener Ronan Dempsey continuing his outstanding form with 56, co-captain Will Hamilton anchoring the ship with a signature 35 and Jonty McMahon also doing a fine job at the end with an unbeaten 14. St Luke’s then lost both of their openers in the first over with firstly Nicholas Clarke removing their gun batsman with a direct-hit run out and Harrison Johnson bowling their other batting trump. Will then struck another blow with an also superb direct-hit run out as they slumped to 3-3, and there was no way back from there with St Luke’s eventually bundled out for 39 in 13.1 overs. Our other opener, the multi-talented Lucy Hamilton also bowled superbly for 1-6 from her 3 overs, while Nicholas Clarke came on as second change and struck twice in the space of 3 balls in his first over, the first a sharp slips catch taken by Will. Oliver Boge took the ball and also shone with 3-1 from his two overs, before Matthew Parker also shattered the stumps to end the game.

Our two teams will now the contest the Wide Bay finals against the Fraser Coast/Gympie winners in Maryborough in Week 9, both aiming to again advance to the Southern Conference finals later in the year.

Shalom Tennis Success

On 2 & 3 May, Shalom had three representatives in the Bundaberg Primary Schools Tennis Team attempting to make the Wide Bay Primary Schools team at Hervey Bay. Poppy Loeskow and Sophie Maher made the Bundaberg Girls Team while Lachlan Campbell made the Bundaberg Boys Team.

Poppy and Sophie showed their potential on the day however both fell just short of making the Wide Bay team. Both these girls are talented players and certainly will develop into high quality players.

Lachlan Campbell performed admirably on the day, combining great power and determination to make the Wide Bay team – a fantastic result! Lachlan will now travel with the Wide Bay team to Toowoomba later in the year to try out for the Queensland team. We wish Lachlan all the best - he is certainly a player to watch in the future.
