Principal’s Reflection

A close friend of mine lost her husband suddenly, many years ago now – he died of a heart attack at the age of thirty-nine. He had a heart defect; he didn’t know, and, if he had known, surgery may have been successful.

They had four little girls, the oldest was 11 years old and the youngest was 9 months old when he passed away. It was an exceedingly tough time for her; there was much to navigate. Several years later, her third daughter was diagnosed with cancer – her daughter had a lump in her arm which turned out to be malignant. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation followed; it meant travelling to Brisbane for the treatments. My friend depended on her close friends to look after the other three whilst she came down to Brisbane each month over an 18-month period. It was an exceedingly challenging time not only for my friend but also her girls.

She raised those four girls on her own, so life at times has been incredibly stressful for her. But resilient she was.

There is, however, no shortage of bad/negative news in our world today: natural disasters, financial difficulties, ill health, COVID, influenza, family setbacks; for our students: exams, assignments, work; they are not immune to what is going on around them. All these things impact us, and we need to draw on our resilience to get through.

Life is full of twists and turns and everyday it gives us challenges. Life affects each one of us differently. If we are resilient, we can manage the trials and tribulations to some extent.

The definition of resilience is “our ability to bounce back from the stresses of life. It’s about avoiding the stress but learning to thrive within the stress.” People who are resilient can effectively cope with or adapt to stress and challenging life situations. (Vital Work Life, 2022)

Resilience is made up of five pillars: these are things we need to be aware of and put into practice if we are to be resilient.

Self-awareness: knowing our strengths and weaknesses, emotions, and motivation

Mindfulness: to be fully present, aware of where we are, what we are doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what is going on around us

Self-care: this is different for everyone; it is the about taking action to maintain or improve our health

Positive relationships: we need healthy, positive relationships in our lives; people in our lives who support and care for us and we care for them

Purpose: helps us to shape our mindset and attitude towards others and towards our experiences

Maintaining these skills takes practice; however, being able to use these five pillars of resilience can reframe our thinking so we see ourselves and the world around us in new ways. Taking this holistic approach to resilience will not only help us to manage the stress in our daily lives better but can positively impact our overall wellbeing in a significant way. (Harvard Medical School, 2012; Bounce Back Project, 2022; Mindful, 2022).

Building resilience – the ability to adapt well to adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or even significant sources of stress – can help our children manage stress and feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. However, being resilient does not mean that children won’t experience difficulty, or distress.

Students need to be taught that failure is a necessary part of life. The only way to succeed with tasks, assignments, and exams, in physical activities such as sport, and in life in general, is through perseverance and persistence and learning from failure. This is a key aspect of developing resilience. Resilience is one of the “key ingredients” for success in life. Just ask my friend. (Feeling Good MN, 2022).

Traffic Improvements:

We have been advised by the Queensland Government that flashing speed zone lights will be installed in Eggmolesse Street in 2023. This will be a significant safety improvement for the College. We are very grateful to the State Government for this and particularly to local MP, Mr Tom Smith, who has brought this request to the decision makers in the State Government.

We are also grateful to the Bundaberg Regional Council who have recently, almost, completed the Pedestrian 'Reserve' crossing on Enterprise Street which will be a big assistance to our students crossing that road to go to the Pool. Council has also agreed to undertake some traffic studies to see if it may be possible to get a Pedestrian crossing on Eggmolesse Street.

(Confraternity) QISSRL and QISSSN:

The staff who went on this tour during the June/July holidays did an outstanding job with taking so many of our students to both the QISSN & QISSRL Carnivals in Mackay. The students were outstanding but would not have had the opportunity without so many staff giving their time to make that happen. Thank you so much. We had four teams participating and all did well.

Our best ‘on field’ results were achieved by our QISSRL Boys team who won the Bob Lidner trophy. Within the QISSRL community, this is a highly sought after trophy. The boys were tremendous during the week and did so well to win that. So many people deserve credit for that achievement but none more so than Mr Neil Feather who has put in an enormous amount of effort, over many years, to get our boys to be able to compete well at that level.

A thank you as well to Mrs Ann Guy who was the “main cook and bottle washer” for all teams up there. To show their gratitude to her, representatives from each of the four teams presented Ann with flowers on our last College assembly. Well done to all.

Curriculum

Year 10 Personal Futures

Last Friday students participated in their Personal Futures Day. All students present would have received their SET Plan Form (green A3 sheet). All students are required to have a SET Plan in place as they move into the senior phase of their schooling.

If your student was absent on Friday and has not already collected their SET Plan Form they are to be collect from Student Reception as soon as possible.

On Wednesday Mr Maher will email all Year 10 students their link and unique code to access WebChoices. Without this email they will not be able to complete the online subject selection process. Please check that your student has received this. They may need to clear their email inbox to ensure they receive this important email.

2022 Senior School Subject Selection Information Evening

The Subject Selection Information Evening will be held Tuesday 26 July in the Performing Arts Precinct commencing at 6.30pm.

During the evening there will be presentations outlining the new QCE and ATAR systems. As well as an explanation of the online subject selection process for Year 11. The process is very similar to that used last year for selections of Year 10 subjects, with the online portal (WebChoices) which opens from July 27th.

Afterwards Learning Area 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 such as the content and structure of courses and details of assessment are easily answered by reading of the Senior Subject Selection Guide 2023. This document is available on the College website via the link below. It also can be accessed by students in SIA via the Subject Selection Dashboard in the Year 10 Personal Futures tile. There is a variety of resources available in here that students used on Personal Futures Day.

SET Plan Interviews

SET Plan Interviews will take place all day on 9 August. This will be a ‘work from home’ day for all Year 10 students. No Year 10 classes will run at the college. Students can access any required class work through SIA.

Later this week parents will receive detailed information about how to book your child’s SET Plan interview and where it will be conducted. Please note students will need to bring their SET Plan Form (green A3 sheet) preferably completed, their laptop device and the emailed WebChoices information. This will allow the SET Plan and online subject selection to be finalised and submitted at the interview.

Pathways

University or TAFE – What You Need to Consider

There are so many options available around what you can do and where you can study. While it’s exciting it can also be a bit daunting. So, should you pick university or TAFE? There’s no right or wrong answer as it depends entirely on you and what you want.

Both TAFE and university offer a variety of skills development, but the types of skills and how you learn them can be quite different.

TAFE courses tend to focus on job-specific skills. These skills tend to be practical, and you will typically complete some form of work experience or placement as part of your course to help you hone your skills. Courses are generally geared around a specific role or industry so they tend to have direct links to available job roles upon completion.

University courses tend to be more theoretical, which is great for developing skills in critical thinking and analysis of ideas. If you pursue a practical-focused degree, like engineering or medicine, you’ll also learn skills that are directly applicable to your future career. Some careers require a degree to get started but that doesn’t always mean direct employability – it can depend on what you study and the additional things you do to boost your employability potential.

Find out more about TAFE and University options including course structures, length of study, costs and more here.

Women in Defence – Challenge Yourself Experience

Quiet Achiever

This week McAuley would like to acknowledge Hunter Heidke as our Quiet Achiever. Hunter’s positive attitude, bright personality and polite disposition is something he lets SHINE every day of the week. In McAuley we strive to show MERCY in our actions towards others. Showing MERCY to others is demonstrating kindness and understanding, and Hunter so often has been seen or heard asking others if they are ok, or offering staff help or assistance at different times. Hunter continues to do the right thing and always gets clarification with things to make sure he is in the right place, doing the right thing or just simply understanding what is happening in the days routine.

In Catherine McAuley’s words, “You must be cheerful and happy animating all around you” and Hunter certainly demonstrates these words of Catherine.

Duke of Edinburgh

Experiences of a Gold Award recipient

Joshua Booth started his Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme journey in 2019. He is the first Shalom student to complete his Bronze, Silver and Gold awards through the Shalom Awards Centre. Over his time completing these awards, Joshua has completed over 100 hours of physical recreation, 90 hours of skill acquisition and 90 hours of service to the community. He received his Gold award on Friday 15th July at the Brisbane Town Hall. As a culminating activity he was asked to write about his experiences while completing his awards.

Any student wishing to participate in Duke of Edinburgh can find information on the Duke of Edinburgh website via the link below or contact Mr Eke on David_eke@shalomcollege.com.

Why did I decide to do the Award?

Initially, the sole driving force for me to get through the paperwork and start my Bronze Award was how the award is recognised overseas and how respectable my resume would become. It was something that I had always been told would greatly benefit my future as well as finding enjoyment through adventure.

As I began volunteering for my local Surf Life Saving club, enjoying the company of the wonderful volunteers there and assisting the friendly strangers, I started to appreciate the weekly activities and the warmth that accompanied their completion.

I grew to enjoy training hard for my monthly swimming competitions and living the highs and lows of wins and losses, while still striving to put in one hundred percent. I even began to focus more time on trying to improve my beekeeping skills that had been stagnating.

So ultimately, it was the love, joy, and multitude of skills I received from participating in the Award that throttled me towards completing Gold as soon as I could.

What activities did I do?

For my Bronze award, I did Beekeeping, Swimming and PCYC market volunteering. For my Silver and Gold awards I continued to do beekeeping and swimming but changed to Surf Life Saving for my Service.

What is your favourite thing about doing the Award?

There were many things that I loved about the Award that I could harp on about if I could, but something that definitely stood out to me was the interactions and connections that I gained during my award. Both the weekly skills, service, and sports activities, and the extended journeys developed friendships and built new ones that I will cherish for years to come.

What would you say to someone who is thinking about doing the Award but thinks it’s too hard?

I’m not going to bore you with the “just do it, it’s fun!” rhetoric. If you genuinely have an interest in people, learning new skills, enjoying new activities, and drastically increasing your confidence, the Duke of Ed program is a great way to compile these things into one. I was a bit sceptical at first with the bold claims provided by previous Gold Award Holders of the “enriching and wonderful experience” that is The Duke of Edinburgh Award program, but after experiencing its ins-and-outs I can assure you; it really is that great!

ECOMAN Competition

Ulton Accountants and Business Advisory Specialists sponsor and host the ECOMAN educational program for regional high school students in Years 10 to 12. The ECOMAN program is targeted towards students interested in careers in commerce and accounting. The three-day program is held annually at Ulton and Shalom College has been proud to send a participating team each year.

Our 2022 team was represented by four Year 10 students from Mrs Norris’s Semester 1 Accounting class - Arielle Yunus, Nathan Voss, Ella-Jade Reinke, and Riley Clarke. Their task was to take over a failing manufacturing business and demonstrate their ability as HR, Finance, Production, and Marketing managers to turn the business around and improve its profitability and performance in all of these areas. The convenors of the program stated that the local teams of high school students were amongst the best they have ever worked with in Queensland.

Our Shalom College students were exceptional. Not only did they present their findings in a professional manner, but they also faced tough questions from the expert panel with confidence.

The overall financial performances were very close. St Luke’s were worthy winners and we congratulate them on their success.

Importantly, our Shalom students demonstrated their ability to learn new skills, work hard, support others, and value the new friendships they made with their fellow students from other schools. These values and skills will serve them well in their future careers.

From the Library

When is a book not a book…?

When it is a multi-model project that skillfully weaves together literature, music, and visual art to present a complex issue sensitively and beautifully.

The Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness is groundbreaking and offers a visually captivating allegorical portrayal of a boy’s journey into mental illness.

“Readers and listeners are offered a mesmerising visual and auditory tour de force about beauty and resilience, society and belief, that at its heart expresses hope for a greater understanding and embracing of difference.”

The story revolves around a metaphoric tree which represents the boy, the flower signifies ecstasy while the fruit is sadness. Matt Ottley, who has lived with bipolar disorder all his life, has called upon his experiences to cultivate the multifaceted piece. This sensory delight reveals and supports the challenges and prejudices faced daily by sufferers of mental illnesses particularly psychoses. This book is accompanied by a CD recording of Matt Ottley’s symphony – the auditory component of this sensory feast.

The Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness is the latest work of this highly acclaimed and multiple award-winning author and illustrator. His prior piece, a picture book called How to Make a Bird was the winner of the CBCA’s Picture Book of the Year Award and joint winner of the Prime Minister’s Award for Children’s Literature.

Look out for this one, reader advice is that it is suitable for 15+ so it will be available in the senior library soon.

Parent and Carer Tuckshop Volunteers

At the start of each school year we ask parents to indicate their availability for volunteering in the College tuckshop.

Life is busy and forever changing, so for this reason we have set up a booking system that will not only accommodate our very much appreciated regular volunteers, but also families who may not be able to commit on a regular basis and who may have a day here or there throughout the year to come along and lend a hand and support our students. The beauty of this system is that you can select your day and manage your booking, so if something comes up, you can quickly and easily go online to reschedule or cancel. Your booking will generate a confirmation email with links to manage your booking, it can be synched with your calendar and an SMS is sent the day before as a reminder. Of course, we are also here to help - simply contact Shalom College on 41 55 8111.

For those of you who are regular volunteers your shifts have already been added to the schedule for this year and you should have received an e-mail for each booked shift.

Shifts last from 2 to 3 hours (school drop off to around 11.30 am).

No experience required!
