Principal’s Reflection

What are you most grateful for? How often have you sincerely said, ‘thank you’ in the last week. Regrettably, most of us take the best things in life for granted. Sometimes, it is too easy to get preoccupied with what is happening to appreciate the truly good things happening each day. Yesterday’s Gospel was the story of the Ten Lepers. Ten diseased people came to Jesus asking for healing. All were healed but only one came back to say ‘thank you’. There is plenty in that story to recommend it across generations. But, like so many Gospel stories, it is so much richer when we appreciate the context of the story. Leprosy, - it’s called Hansen’s Disease today - in the time of Jesus, was incurable. It was, and is, an awful disease where one’s flesh slowly rots on different parts of the body. In the time of Jesus and for generations before and after, the disease was seen as a punishment from God and anyone contracting it was cast out of the community – completely. No longer able to live with others or to worship with the community. Anyone who touched a leper was condemned to the same exclusion. Jesus coming into close personal contact with a group of lepers would have been a real affront to his listeners – they would have found that inconceivable and unholy! To make matters worse, the one leper who comes back to say ‘thank you’ for being cured, was a Samaritan. They were foreigners and despised. No Jew, worth his or her salt, would have anything to do with a Samaritan. This story is about gratitude but much more, it is about inclusion and exclusion. Jesus was saying to those who would listen – then and now – that no one is beyond the love and reach of God. The story asks us to consider the individuals and groups we ‘exclude’. Family members who have burnt bridges, Muslims, Boat people, those who vote differently. In my Church some agonize at times over who should and should not be permitted to receive Communion – those who remarry, LBGTQ, divorced. Jesus is saying to us all that one of the challenges of the Kingdom of God is for it to be inclusive of all of those who are at the margins. All of us are touched by our own brand of leprosy – parts of us that need to be healed. In this Gospel passage Jesus reminds us that there is no such thing as an unclean or untouchable person. To be healed by Jesus the Christ we just need to say ‘please’. And then to have the grace and humility to say, ‘Thank You’.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of those staff who gave their time to offer students so many great opportunities recently –

Edmund Rice Camp

For days after the Edmund Rice Camp the songs and chants rang in my head and these brought to mind the joy I saw on the little kids faces as they enthusiastically joined in singing, slip’n’sliding, surfing, scavenger hunting and most of all rubbing cream into their big buddies hair. These are just a few of the activities that were on offer for our little buddies during the three jam packed days that the Year 12 big buddies focused on making sure their little buddy had a great time.

Earlier this year a group of 25 Year 12 Shalom Students began fund raising and preparing for our Edmund Rice Camp for local kids. These kids have been identified, for a wide variety of reasons, as needing some fun and support. Our Year 12s gave up 4 days of their holidays, along with 16 past Shalom students who returned to Chaverim as the Leadership Team to run the camp. We are unique in this regard and it really demonstrates the impact these camps have on our students that so many keep returning to be part of this endeavour.

A special thanks to the staff that supported this wonderful experience, especially Mrs Miller-Smith who attended the entire camp, Mr Davis, Mr Sheehan, Mr Godfrey, Mr Taylor and Mrs Norris who drove buses and/or helped with the BBQ. An extra special Thank You to Ms Taleigha Batt who co-ordinated the whole process from start to finish.

Year 7-9 Core Studies Learner Conferences (PT – Interviews)

The second of two opportunities this year for Year 7, 8 and 9 Core Studies Learner Conferences (Parent/Teacher Interviews) will be available on the Student Free Day of Monday 21 October. The aim of these conferences is to provide an opportunity for parents to meet with teachers to discuss the progress and learning needs of their children.

Conferences may be arranged online via the Parent Lounge. The online Parent Teacher Interview booking facility will open at 8:00am on Tuesday 8 October and close at 3:00pm on Wednesday 16 October to allow teachers to prepare for interviews.

When considering interview requests, note that Mrs Patricia Allen, Mrs Penny McKeown and Mrs Deborah Bolam will not be available for interviews on the day as they have Verification duties, however they will be available on Thursday 24 October. Please note this additional date when booking interviews online. Janeen James is also unavailable as she is on leave. If you wish to meet with Janeen, please contact her individually.

Whilst the scheduled interview day is seen as an important communication between home and school, parents are welcome to arrange an interview with specific teachers at any time the need arises throughout the year.

Please also remember that detailed information about your child’s progress is available on Parent Lounge under the ‘Curricular Activities Due’ tab. Here you can see the results and teacher feedback on every individual assessment item. This would be good to review before attending the CS Learner Conferences.

Year 11 Term 4 Exams 24/10/19 – 29/10/19

The exam timetable for the Year 11 Term 4 exams is attached. Please note that Year 11 will have home study during the exam block therefore students only need to attend school for their exams.

Please note only an unavoidable absence (eg illness) is acceptable as a reason for missing exams. Avoidable reasons such as family holidays or sporting events are not acceptable as per QCAA policy. If you have an unavoidable absence for your exam, you must see/contact your classroom teacher as soon as possible with appropriate documentation (eg medical certificate) to organise an alternative exam time.

Taking Care of Business

Term 3 was a productive term for our Senior Business students. We would just like to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to not only our Shalom Community, but also our Local Community. Throughout the term, our Senior Business students have been involved in a range of ‘hands on’ and expert learning sessions that have been truly valuable to their learning.

Year 11 Business

As the students continued to move through the Business Life Cycle in this exciting new subject, the Year 11 class were lucky enough to visit the local Café 1928 and engage with the owners on all things ‘finance’ and ‘starting up’ a business in Bundaberg. The students gained valuable learning from this experience, and it has been fantastic to see so many of them referring to knowledge learnt in the presentation throughout the past term in both class discussions and assessment pieces.

Additionally, we were lucky to have Tracey McPhee owner of Alowishus Bundaberg and Maryborough visit our class to talk all things ‘marketing’ and ‘growing’ your business using particular marketing tools. This was an interactive discussion and we felt privileged to hear behind the scenes details on the everyday running’s of the successful café! The students then used information from this presentation to assist them in writing their assessment for the unit.

To finish Term 3, I thought it was a great idea to test out the new Virtual Reality Headsets recently purchased by the College. We had just finished learning about the Operational Processes of a business, so I thought it was the perfect timing to use the headsets to check out the production system and manufacturing factory of Hyundai motor vehicles. Although the students thought it was great – there were a number of washed out faces from the motions of the VR headsets. I have already made a note that next time we use them, we have frequent breaks!!

Year 11 Certificate III in Business

Each year, our Cert III in Business class focuses their practical activities for the Term on supporting and raising awareness of the RUOK Foundation. These activities are created and run by the students, where they engage in valuable 21st Century Skills such as creative thinking, collaboration and the most important – communication (both written and verbal).

This year the students engaged in a number of activities including:

  • Presenting on Assembly to get people talking about Mental Health
  • Selling RUOK stamped Sugar Cookies to promote the idea of checking in on your mates
  • Interactive Workshop for Year 8 students where the students brought in experts from the community to run 10-minute stations with the students focusing on coping strategies when feeling overwhelmed.

The Certificate students have not only gained valuable knowledge on scheduling and sequencing events, but they have helped spread a very important message throughout our Shalom Community.

Quiet Achiever

Kasey Cunningham

Kasey Cunningham is an active member of the Shalom Concert Band, Jazz Band and Orchestra.

Kasey contributes greatly to these ensembles and obviously the time taken for these rehearsals, added to this, further practice when at home amounts to a great deal of time to ensure he doesn't miss a note. From early starts before school and many days of the week fine tuning his musical skills and then being able to attend the many performances by each of these bands is testament to his commitment during his time at Shalom.

Kasey gets involved in Pastoral Care activities and interacts with quite a number of students from Walsh House in a positive way.

Kasey goes about his daily activities and juggles band and school activities well. We wish Kasey all the best for his continued performances with the Shalom bands.

Vicki Wilson State Finals

Our three Vicki Wilson teams had a big weekend of netball action in Brisbane at the State Finals for the Vicki Wilson Netball Competition over the first weekend of the holidays.

Junior VW Team

The girls found the going a bit tough Day one’s pool rounds, suffering losses to Canterbury College, Varsity College, St Peter Claver College and Rockhampton Grammar School. Unfortunately, this relegated them to the play off for positions 17-20 in the Junior VW Division. On Day 2, the girls came out firing and recorded hard fought wins over Tully SHS (35-24) and St Peters Lutheran College (29-24), but a loss to Mercy College. After a countback on goal percentages, our girls placed 19th overall - an awesome effort considering how many schools started the competition.

Senior VW Team

Looking to better last year’s Vicki Wilson placing, the senior girls played out of their skin during Day one’s pool rounds, recording strong wins against Mercy College and St Margaret Mary’s College, an amazing 3-goal win against netball powerhouse Helensvale SHS and a narrow loss to Fairholme College (who eventually finished 2nd place). In a very tough pool, Shalom, Fairholme and Helensvale all recorded 3 wins, so it came down to goal percentage to determine the teams going through to the Top 8 playoff. Unfortunately, the girls missed out on progressing to the Top 8 by 3 goals!! On Day 2, playing off for positions 9-16, the girls recorded a massive win against Pine Rivers SHS (41-15), before defeating St Margaret Mary’s (again) in the ‘semi-final’ (36-31). In their final game, Shalom played strongly to defeat Rockhampton Grammar School (37-30) and take out 9th position, bettering last year’s 14th placing. After only losing one game all weekend, it was tough to finish in 9th place, but the girls can hold their heads high.

Shalom Boys Team

It was so exciting to watch our young men take the court on Day 2 to play in the first ever Vicki Wilson Boys Competition. The only ALL male team to compete (thanks to their male coaching staff), the boys started out with a mixture of nerves and excitement, but grew in confidence over the course of the day. During their four team competition, the team recorded a close win against Chisholm Catholic College (20-18), a narrow loss to Stanthorpe SHS (20-15) and a nail-biting 20-20 draw against Southport SHS. This saw the team finish in a very credible 3rd place and presented with medals from the netball legend herself, Vicki Wilson. Considering where the team started when they were first selected at the beginning of Term 3, their performance over the weekend was amazing and they did all of Shalom College proud. The boys competition was such a success that Netball Queensland will be looking to expand the competition further in 2020. Our boys can’t wait to have another crack at it.

Check out the Shalom Instagram page for more photos and videos.

Congratulations to all of our netball players for the way you have conducted yourselves throughout the entire Vicki Wilson competition. A massive thank you must also go to the staff who guided these teams to the State Finals once again – Taleigha Batt, Maddy Batt, Chris Roelofs, David Gahan, Craig Hammermeister & Kevin Crowley. Without your passion for and commitment to netball, our students would be able to enjoy this competition, or achieve the success they have in 2019.
