Principal’s Reflection

Principal’s Reflection

I hate getting anonymous letters. Normally, I just throw them in the bin. I think if someone is not prepared to put their name to something, it is not worth my time reading their thoughts. That said, I got one this week which I will share –

“Dear Mr McMahon

It has come to my attention that there are a number of boys requesting nude photos of girls via social media. I think this is happening to Year 7,8 & 9 girls. This is not only happening at Shalom but at other schools in Bundaberg.

I am making you aware of this behaviour in the hope that you will take major action to educate the students both male and female about the consequences of their actions as well as the fact that this is wrong on so many levels.”

The letter was signed ‘A Concerned Parent’. I share this parent’s concern. I wish that parent knew how many times I along with House Coordinators, Counsellors and other staff have spoken to Shalom students about this issue. I also get frustrated when the College provides, free of charge, an App like ‘Family Zone’ that might go a long way towards assisting parents in this area to have some level of control over their child’s use of Social Media and we get so few taking up this opportunity – only about 20% of Shalom families. On Thursday 15 August, we will have Brett Lee, who is an expert in this area talk to students about this issue and he will address a parent night at 6pm. Regrettably, in all likelihood, we won’t get a great roll up of parents to listen to Brett. Later in the year, this issue will be addressed again when David Kobler talks to Yr 9 & 10 students and parents on Sept 4 & 5. I’m not sure how much more we can do but I agree with my concerned parent, we are not winning this battle but it is not through lack of trying.

Social media and the internet in general have so many upsides but the opportunities for ‘sexting’ is a very real downside. This is an area that parents just can’t leave to someone else to monitor. Your child’s access to and use of social media is your responsibility. Please don’t be tempted to believe that your child could never be encouraged to do something stupid in this area or exposed to the less than noble intentions of others. Personally, I do not think it is an unreasonable requirement for parents to require of their children to have access to their social media accounts – one of the difficult areas of parenthood but is why parents get paid the big bucks!

Queensland Police Legacy will be the beneficiary of this year’s Annual Bundaberg Ecumenical Lunch. This event will be held on Saturday 24 August at the RSL on Quay St commencing at 11am. A member of QPS of 43 years, Rolf Straatemier, will be the guest speaker. Shalom has more than a few members of the QPS in our parent body. Qld Police Legacy is a very worthy charity which is dedicated to supporting families of deceased QPS officers. Tickets are available from all Christian Churches and certainly from the office of the Catholic Parish of Bundaberg (4151-6666).

Year 10 Subject Selection Night is on tomorrow evening 30 July commencing at 7pm. Given the changes to the ATAR system, I strongly advise parents to attend this event.

E-cigarettes and Vaping - E-cigarettes and vaping are quickly gaining in popularity, especially amongst teenagers. Manufacturers of these products are deploying sophisticated marketing campaigns in an attempt to glamorise and promote smoking to young people. Vaping is the act of inhaling and exhaling the vapour produced by the heated nicotine liquid of an e-cigarette or vape pen. Many teens believe that vaping is less harmful than smoking as it is often formulated with flavourings to appeal to younger users. Be aware that e-cigarettes stating 0 mg of nicotine, may still contain nicotine. It is a highly addictive substance that can slow the brain development in kids affecting their memory, concentration, learning and mood. Because vaping is new, the short and long-term health effects remain unknown.

However, studies have shown that kids who have tried vaping, are more likely to smoke tobacco products later in life than kids who have not tried vaping. As e-cigarettes leave little odour, they are particularly easy to conceal and use discreetly in public places, even in schools.

In this Special Report from SchoolTV, parents and care givers will be provided with the facts relating to e-cigarettes and vaping, whilst also highlighting the potential dangers and surrounding legislation. We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this Special Report, and as always, we welcome your feedback. Here is the link to your special report

Catholic Education Week

This week is Catholic Education Week and we have a lot to celebrate. Thank you to all who attended the Combined Catholic Schools Mass at Holy Rosary yesterday. A great way to give thanks for our wonderful school.

The theme for Catholic Education Week is Many Voices One Spirit.

We have many voices in our lives, sometimes too many. Voices telling us how we should look, how we should feel, how we should behave. When we feel overwhelmed by the noise around us it is important to make a space in our lives to listen to the Spirit. The Spirit of God speaks to us through the scriptures, through good people, and through our own hearts. Our challenge is to make time to listen to this Spirit.

Shalom Day

Shalom Day is coming up on Thursday 22 August. Each year we extend a special invitation to Grandparents to attend our Liturgy in the morning and continue on to Morning Tea, where our amazing Jazz Band will provide the entertainment. This is a great chance for them to participate in their grandchildren’s school life and for their grandchildren to show how much they appreciate them. Please pass on this invitation onto Grandparents and, in some cases, great grandparents!

Some date changes

Due to changes that had to be made within our academic program we have moved the date of our Academic Awards evening to Wednesday 13 November.

The Year 12 Graduation Liturgy and Morning Tea is as stated in the calendar, Thursday 14 November. Traditionally we have started the Liturgy at 9am but this year we will commence at 10 am, followed by a Morning Tea in the Performing Arts Precinct.

The Year 9 and 10 Reflection Days are now on 4 and 5 September and the Parent Information Night is Wednesday 4 September. Year 10 will attend on 4 September and Year 9 on 5 September.

Curriculum

Assessment details for tasks in all years are currently being entered for viewing in Student Café and Parent Lounge. Please check with your child, and encourage them to transfer details to the Semester planner at the back of the Student Record book.

Year 10 students and their parents or guardians

The 2020 Senior Subject Selection Evening is scheduled for Tuesday 30 July at 7pm in the Theatre, and all parents are invited to attend with their Year 10 children.

In preparation for subject selection, on Monday 22 July students attended a briefing that outlined arrangements for Personal Futures Day on Friday 26 July. They were directed to download and save a number of resources including: The Senior Subject Selection Guide 2020 (SSSG2020); an offline subject selection form; and a resources sheet that included links to a wealth of information regarding careers, further study and pathways.

Students were instructed to share these resources with their parents and to discuss their subjects and plans; it is my hope that you already know the details I have included above!

At the information evening, I shall present for around half-an-hour, outlining the new QCE system and ATAR in Queensland. I also intend to explain the online subject selection process. The process is very similar to that used last year for selections of Year 10 subjects, with the portal open from 31 July. It is hoped that submissions will be finalised by the end of August.

After my presentation in the theatre, Coordinators will be available in the foyer to discuss the variety of subjects on offer and to answer questions that parents may have. Initial questions that many may have regarding the content and structure of courses and details of assessment are likely to be answered by careful reading of the Senior Subject Selection Guide 2020 in advance of the evening.

Personal Futures Day will have been held by the time of reading. The efficient organisation of the day represents an enormous amount of work by our Pathways Coordinator, Mrs Liza O’Donnell and our Pathways Assistant, Mrs Kathy Laing. I hope the presentations by industry representatives have inspired students, and assisted any who needed direction for the future.

I look forward to meeting Year 10 parents on 30 July.

Year 8 students and their parents

Date claimer: The 2020 Middle School Subject Selection evening will be held on 20 August.

The meeting for students and parents of Year 9 students selecting choices for Year 10 2020 will commence at 6pm.

The meeting for students and parents of Year 8 students selecting choices for Year 9 2020 will commence at 7pm.

Year 12 students and parents

Year 12 QCS candidates who completed all or some of the sub-tests in our June practice have received feedback via the Mighty Minds portal. They have been provided with login details. The feedback is accompanied by suggestions of extra work, and some additional practice questions. It is certainly the case that the Year 12 students would benefit from extra preparation for the QCS Test: the portal and the workbook allocated to each student are useful resources.

The QCS Test 2019 will be held on Tuesday 3 September and Wednesday 4 September. Students will receive this week an information sheet that reminds them of the items required for the test and a list of points regarding student conduct before and during the test. It also explains the process to follow should a student unavoidably be absent and wishing to remain OP-eligible.

OP-eligible students will be issued with revised OP range estimates in the next week. These are based solely upon the summative tasks completed in Semester 1.

Year 11 students and parents

Unit 1 in the new General and Applied courses concluded in Term 2 with the Overall Achievement detailed in reports issued last term indicating the result for the Unit. These results have been used to enter data as S (successful) or U (unsuccessful) for collection by QCAA. Successful means that the overall grade was A, B or C.

The intention is that students will be able to log in to their learning account via MyQCE at the link below later in 2019, and access information about their study plans and results.

In the meantime, I recommend that students and parents explore the links available within MyQCE: these provide information, advice and tips for students.

Unit 2 study for the General and Applied courses is well under way. You will know that assessment tasks have been scheduled at points through the school week. However, as many subjects plan to mirror, at the end of Unit 2, the external assessment tasks that will be conducted at the end of Unit 4, it has been decided to administer these in a way that causes least interruption of learning by developing a short ‘assessment block’. Students will be allowed Study leave during those days. The days concerned are Thursday 24, Friday 25, Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 October.

As I communicated earlier this year, QCAA’s Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments (AARA), such as extensions of dates, are only approved for absences that cannot be avoided and do not apply to family holidays or other elected absence.

While parents are encouraged to use Parent Lounge to track assessment details, a summary of General and Applied subjects is available here:

ROSA Awards

Life for families is busy! Helping your child to establish good routines will assist them to keep on top of their responsibilities and develop effective organisational skills.

A tip that you might consider is assisting your child to construct a homework schedule. The earlier a student embeds this into their daily routine the better.

Help your child to develop a homework schedule and stick to it. Perhaps have the schedule visible on the fridge, a wall, pin board etc… When designing the schedule, take into account extra-curricular activities, work rosters and other jobs that your child may do around the home. Consistency applying this schedule is important. Your child will likely need reminders for a while, but will soon get used to the routine…hopefully!

ROSA (Recognition of Student Application) Awards are presented to students each term. This award program recognises student application to their studies. Students from Years 7, 8 and 9 are nominated by their classroom teachers and then certificates are presented to students.

We value the importance of acknowledging students who are motivated, show perseverance and work diligently to reach their potential. The ‘goal posts’ for all our students are different, however all students are capable of achieving their own success targets.

Our Term 2 ROSA Awards have been announced and students have received their certificates at House Assembly. A full list has been included below:

Pathways

Personal Futures Day

Ahead of senior subject selection, students attended a Personal Futures day on Friday 26 July, to gain an understanding of the connection between career pathways and subjects.

Representatives from an array of industry areas gave up their time to come to Shalom and share knowledge of their industry area with the students. Their insight was an invaluable component of assisting and guiding students to make informed subject choices to support their future pathways.

Shalom would like to give a big shout-out and thank you to the following businesses/organisations for their support of the Shalom College Personal Futures Day:

Queensland Ambulance Service, Queensland Police, Queensland Fire Services, Skills Compliance Pty Ltd, Walkers Engineering, RMA Engineering, Moncrieff Theatre, Bundaberg Broadcasters, Bundaberg Tourism, Lyons Judge Accountants & Advisors, Sugarland Animal Hospital, CQ University, Acorn Childcare, Wide Bay Hospital & Health Service, Department of Agriculture & Fisheries, Tafe East Coast, East Coast Apprenticeships, and Shalom Teaching, IT, AV, Community Relations and Counselling Staff.

Quiet Achiever

Brooklyn Devine is our Walsh Quiet Achiever and she is involved wherever possible when it comes to PC time. Brooklyn also has been very involved in quite a number of activities throughout the college and has the ‘have a go’ attitude in all things.

Over the years Brooklyn has been very involved with the school music program. She goes to band rehearsal every morning at 7:30, is involved in the Soprano for Choir, Pianist for Senior Jazz (which she tells me led to the amazing opportunity of being able to play a set at Sam Johnson's Fundraiser Gala at the Multiplex). She is a Percussionist for the Senior Concert Band, Piano Accompanist for Chamber Strings, Percussionist for Orchestra.

On top of this, Brooklyn was part of the winning Senior Team for an unofficial senior debate at the Rotary Inter-school Debating event against Bundaberg North recently. She has also been a volunteer usher at the Opening Mass for the QISSN + Confraternity event held at the start of the June/July school holidays.

Brooklyn is part of the 'Shalom Writers' club, she is a participant in Shalom's Showcase Gala, playing in the listed 5 bands for the 1st act + performing as one of the 8 lead characters Alana Beck in the extracts from the musical Dear Evan Hansen for the 2nd act. This year is her 5th year attending Queensland Catholic schools Music Festival and she was also part of the Vinnies Sleepout held last Friday (26 July).

In August, a group of students from Shalom will be attending the Year 11 ACTS Camp held in Yeppoon and Brooklyn has been accepted to be part of this camp. Brooklyn always tries to be a good role model to her buddy and younger friends in PC and she strives to achieve the best academic results she can.

This workshop was held last week for 90 Year 7 and 8 students. The students were taught techniques for breathing and some interesting body percussion techniques and rhythms. Ms Leonard will be back later in the year where she will work with students putting together a collection of songs based on a ‘turtle’ theme. These workshops and concert will be held at the Moncrieff Theatre. I will gather interested Shalom students in a few weeks and start teaching the songs. Local composers John Rotar and Lukaeja Morrision, two past Shalom students will also be involved.

Gardening Club

Sustainable Garden Update

Our first sustainable garden meeting took place last Tuesday, during the first lunch break. Interested students gathered at the garden to discuss ideas for the club. Students will have opportunities to provide input, including ideas to both grow and direct the club.

Care of the earth and how to become good stewards of the land are skills, once learnt, promote a lifelong sustainable Landcare mindset. Gardening can promote skills to assist mental health and has been linked to improving anxiety and depression conditions in people of all ages. Improved physical health can be another benefit of gardening, improving fitness and the atural intake of vitamin D.

A lot was discussed in this first meeting with some interesting ideas to develop into the future. We are looking forward to expanding our club and finding ways to connect with the wider community. The aim is to explore ways to reduce our individual carbon footprint and explore ways to live a simple and meaningful life. All student levels are welcome at this club. We meet every Tuesday at the garden, at the start of first break. Do not forget to bring your lunch! Come and be a part of the change.

Planting seeds, one student at a time. Growing minds for a resilient future.
