Newsletter 32 – Term 4, Week 2 2019

St Augustine of Hippo encourages us to listen to the pulse of our life and to find within our everyday a symphony of influences, love hardship and integrity.

A song is a thing of joy,

and, if we think carefully about it,

A thing of love.

so to have learned to love a new life

is to learn to sing a new song…

 

‘But I do sing,’ you may reply.

You sing, of course you sing.

I can hear you;

but make sure that your life

sings the same tune as your mouth.

sing with your voices,

sing with your hearts,

sing with your lips,

sing with your lives …..

 

Are you looking for praises to sing?

The singer himself is the praise

contained in the song.

 

Let us as a school community take up the challenges offered in the words St Augustine, knowing that the dignity of our lives is not expressed in undignified speech or growls of anger and rejection, but rather in songs of gentleness and when necessary, of forgiveness and peace.

 

Reflection

A Prayer for Perspective

Unclutter our lives Lord because we have too much,

Consume too much, expect too much.

Grant us perspective; to see this world through eyes other than just our own.

Grant us compassion; so that where there is need we play our part and not turn aside.

Grant us gratitude for what we have: our daily bread, the gifts of life, health and happiness.

Unclutter our lives Lord,

Give us space, simplicity, thankful hearts and the discernment to see what needs to be done.

Rosies

Isabella Munoz, Ethan Chambers and Molly Bashford assisted the Rosies team this month. It was a fairly busy night with the weather warming up and the number of patrons increasing. It is heart-warming to see the respect and kindness our students show when serving food and interacting not only with the patrons with the Rosies Team. A special thank you to Molly Bashford for her consistent attendance at Rosies this year.

School Immunisation Program 23/10/2019 – Year 7’s

Humanities – The whole world is my oyster – Dream big, be creative and reach for the stars!

“Stop dreaming about your bucket list and start living it.”

Annette White

Sir Ken Robinson is a British author, speaker and international advisor on Education in the Arts to the British government. He is also a Professor of Arts Education at the University of Warwick, and is now Professor Emeritus at the same institution. Lat week, Robinson aptly stated that human beings are “inherently creative”. Research strongly indicates that cooperative learning environments lead to higher achievement and productivity. Group tasks sustain motivation and facilitate innovation through peer learning and mutual transference of ideas. Students have a ‘bottomless capacity of imagination’ and this consequential innovation stems from their brainstorm of creative ideas within the groups.

Cooperative learning is distinct from mere collaboration as it can be formal or informal. The Humanities discipline enables both types of cooperative learning. Formal cooperative learning involves students working together on a task for a set number of lessons to achieve shared learning outcomes.  An example of this informal cooperative learning occurs when students work in ad hoc groups for a short task in a lesson. The Humanities Department itself role models the collaborative approach through team-teaching and extensive sharing of resources. Hence cooperation is deeply entrenched within the realm of Humanities Faculty.

 

Fieldtrips – Girraween, Tweed Heads and Europe 2020

The phrase “field trip” may bring to mind long bus rides, sack lunches and museum tours, but field trips can take a number of forms that meet a variety of needs and can enhance deep, active learning.  Along with the engagement with concepts that is required by these experiences, the student bonding that occurs on field trips enhances the learning experience and creates a learning community as students continue onward in a discipline.  Teaching in the field also gives instructors the opportunity to get to know their students in greater depth in terms of how the students see the world differently than the instructor.  This insight into student world-views can help the instructor to better communicate the concepts of the course.

Next year the year 11-12 Geography classes will be involved in various fieldtrips in and around Toowoomba as well as the coast. Further, it has become somewhat of a tradition since 2010 that every two years the Humanities Department runs an overseas trip.

In September 2020 a number of staff from the College (Mr Fellenberg, Mr Keighran, Mrs Barton, Mrs Zenke, Mr Cook, Mr Logan and Mr McKenzie) and 45 students will embark on an unforgettable tour of both England and France. The journey will start at the beginning of the September holidays where the intrepid tourists take flight to one of the world’s most exciting cities – London before crossing the English Channel via the Euro star to disembark in Paris.

Students will be exposed to some of these two cities most beautiful and intriguing historical, cultural and religious sites. The touring party will also experience such places as Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Hampton Court, Oxford, Stratford Upon Avon, Harrods, Stonehenge, Roman Baths, Shakespeare’s Globe theatre and birthplace, Palace of Versailles, Warner Brothers Harry Potter World, various sporting locations including Wimbledon and Lords and Paris Disneyland.

The touring party will also ride the London Eye, scale the Eiffel Tower, visit the London Bridge Experience where students can journey through an interactive display of over 2000 years of history, have the opportunity to see one or more West End theatre shows, partake in guided walks to retrace the steps of Shakespeare, Harry Potter and the Beatles. The group will also visit such sites as the Louvre, Natural History and British museums and the Tower of London just to name a few.

All in all, this ‘Field trip’ will truly be a once in a lifetime tour that will be etched permanently into the memory of all who attend.

Cricket

Three of our Year 10 St Joseph’s College students, Nick Sheedy, Dan Robinson and Rohan McDonald went to Townsville in the September school holidays to compete in the Under 16 Junior Indoor Cricket State Championships on behalf of the Toowoomba Dragons.  All three boys were selected to attend the Queensland Development Squad in January 2020.

A great effort for our talented young cricketers.

Darling Downs Representation

Congratulations also to Kaden Willmot, Zachary Lucido and Charlize Bishop who have been selected in the 13 years Futsal team to represent the region at a Queensland School Sport Invitational Carnival on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November at Coomera Indoor Sports Centre.

Congratulations.

 

Touch/Rugby

Jada Ferguson played in the under 18 Finals against New South Wales. Unfortunately, they lost by one try but fingers are crossed that Jada will be selected in the Australian Team to compete in Newcastle in the Trans-Tasman series.

She was also involved in round 2 of the Rugby 7s competition but missed out on selection in round 3. They were undefeated but lost to the Gold Coast in the Grand Final.  Also, in this team were Taleah McGrane and Mariah Zillmann.

Pypah Ferguson was also involved in Rugby League at the start of the holidays playing in the Under 12s Darling Downs side. She was named captain of this team and came away with the Players Player Award for the second year in a row.

CBSQ Basketball

The Open Girls and Boys Basketball teams travelled to Brisbane on the last two days of school and the first weekend of the holidays.

Over the four days of competition both teams played very well displaying true grit and determination in their attempts to be at the top of their respective pools before going in the cross over semi-finals.

The Open Girls lost one game 20 to 23 and this placed them second in the pool – meaning we had to play the cross over 1^st place in another pool. From there we finished the competition in 8^th position. A terrific effort for such a young team.

The Open Boys finished atop of their pool but then lost the first cross over. This then put us into the bronze medal play offs, which as you would have seen in the paper.. we won!

Congratulations to Mr Jason Krienke on his coaching of these two teams. A big thank you to Mr Logan, Mr Cook and Mrs Roche were supervisors for the weekend. This was a big commitment at the start of holidays.

Interschool DD Equestrian

Congratulations to Emily Duggan and her horse Rules to Break who came first in the Junior Under 18 and 2^nd in the open EVA60 event at the DD State qualifying ODE at Warwick. They also placed with a 2^nd and two 3rds at Glennie Interschool State qualifiers. They were 3^rd Overall in the EVA80 at this event.

Heidi Hoopert also represented the College.

All Schools Touch

Three very excited junior teams travelled down to Brisbane the first Tuesday back. We played over the three days trying to make our way into the final 16.

The 13 years girls played seven games over two days:

Canterbury won 3 – 2

Marsden lost 1 – 8

Morayfield won 7 – 0

St Andrews Lutheran 3 – 4 (lost on the hooter)

St Thomas More won 3 – 0

Sunshine Beach won 3 – 2

Trinity Beenleigh won 2 – 0

These young ladies did exceptionally well and we would like to thank Mr Mick Rafter very much for his dedication and support of these girls in their training and the coaching at the Carnival. They improved so much under the guidance of Mick.

The 15 years girls only lost one game in the seven games they played over the three days but because of the differential positioning they were not able to reach the finals.

Canterbury won 3 – 2

Kedron won 9 – 0

Lindisfame won 3 – 0

Emmaus (Rockhampton) lost 2 – 7

Marsden won 4 – 2

Noosa Won 3 – 2

Xavier won 7 – 2

 

The 15 years boys were able to make it to the final 16 on the Saturday morning and we are very appreciative of all the parents who drove these young men back down to the final for the game (we lost it in the rain)

They played 6 games over the three days with three games 4.00, 6.00 and 8.00pm on the Thursday night. We were the only two teams playing in the whole complex.

Alex Hills won 9 – 8

Assisi won 9 – 1

Runcorn won 11 – 0

St Brendans won 7 – 0

St Andrews Anglican won 11 – 0

Wavell drew 2 – 2

Past student Harrison Pengilly came along and coached these boys and we are so appreciative of his knowledge and coaching experience. We thank him very much for his time and efforts.

The Open Boys and Girls travelled down at morning teatime on the Friday and swapped over with the juniors and they returned home with the help of Dave Nugent and Mark Fels.

These two teams played late on the night on Friday with Mr McKenzie offering his wealth of coaching knowledge for the three days.

The boy’s results were:

Churchie won 5 – 0

Carmel won 7 – 5

Grace Lutheran won 4 – 2

Noosa won 5 – 2

St Brendans drew 3 – 3

Westlake (New Zealand) lost 2 – 3

TRGS lost 3 – 4

The open girls win the prize for achieving the best results for the weekend. They were able to advance to the quarters finals before we had our first loss and this game also went to a drop off where we lost 3 to 4 to Chanel.

Their games were:

Carmel won 5 – 3

Somerville won 6 – 1

Marsden won 3 – 0

Papanui (New Zealand) won 10 – 0

UWC (Pheonix) won 2 – 0

St Margaret Marys won 2 – 1

Clairvaux won 7 – 0

In the final 16 game we beat St Hilda’s 1 – 0 which bought us up against Chanel College where we were down 4 – 2 but managed to score two very quick tries to take us into the drop off situation.

All the teams were fantastic in their behaviour and efforts on the field. A big thank to Ellen Pengilly and Harrison Pengilly again who coached the open girls as well.

It goes without saying but this sort of competition is not possible for us to participate in without the support of teachers and parents. Thank you Mr Logan for providing supervision on the Tuesday night.  We thank Mrs Marshall for not only providing the supervision for the teams but also cooking for the junior team during their stay in camp. We thank Mr Morgan as part of our supervising team as both a member of the Leadership Team and as a parent, and Mrs Riseley for helping to supervise the open girls team.

To Mr Canning for his expert driving skills over the five days and his support in getting the teams to the grounds and back to the accommodation. He also cooked our barbecues, so we are eternally grateful.

To the coaches – Mr Rafter, Mr McKenzie, Harrison Pengilly and Ellen Pengilly, thank you for your devotion to this College and the students under your care. You are truly remarkable people for giving of your time and support to these young people who are so keen to be part of this international tournament.

Next year is the World Cup tournament so we will see what teams we can take away.

Netball Development

Casey Anderson has been selected to represent Queensland at The Australian National Championships to be held at Mt Warren in November.

Gap year ideas:

• Work full time or 2 part time jobs
• Save money
• Buy a car
• Go overseas
• Go interstate
• Volunteer eg The Basement, Meals on Wheels
• ADF Gap Year program & work experience
• If at home, cook for the family, pay some bills, buy groceries
• Do some study, an interest course, improve your rank
• A year will pass quickly, make it count
• Achieving nothing may create stress & affect your confidence levels

Make your gap year count!

• Make time count!
• Get active
• Be open minded
• The more you get involved, the better you will get to know yourself and the sooner you will find your path
