Newsletter 39 – Term 1 Week 1 2020

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Students,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2020 school year. I hope that all families have had a wonderful holiday period and are refreshed and energised for the beginning of the school year. I am very excited to be here at St Joseph’s College and I thank the community for the warm welcome that I have received.

At our assembly last Wednesday, I spoke to the students about my educational beliefs and how as educators we should be endeavoring to provide opportunities for our students to experience a QUALITY holistic education; Spiritual, Pastoral, Academic, Cultural and Sporting.

I then explained that it is through the teaching and learning that is embedded in the opportunities provided through a holistic education that we are aiming to move all students along on their personal educational journey. Allowing all students to achieve improved outcomes, achieve to the best of their ability, fulfill their dreams and become active contributors in society.

However, I then highlighted for the students that for them to get the most out of their faith, educational, pastoral, cultural and sporting experiences they must play their part. They must;

• Continually strive to succeed and achieve their personal best!
• Be aspirational and proud of their school and this is demonstrated by always wearing their uniform correctly!
• Attend school as much as possible because everyday counts!
• Ensure that they are prepared for all classes!
• Always engage in respectful and safe behaviours!

We want all students to be in attendance every day participating in learning and special events while supporting each other in respectful relationships as we endeavour to grow a culture of striving to be the best we can be each day. We look forward to working with our students and parents in this endeavour.

Dear God

As we stand on the threshold of a new year,

we look to the days ahead with joyful anticipation.

As believers in the Gospel,

we are confident that your grace will be with us as we seek to do your will.

Bless us today and during the days to come.

Watch over us and protect us from misfortune.

Through the love that you have given us, may we act righteously.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen

New Staff Welcome

As this is the first newsletter for the year, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome back some staff from leave and to introduce and welcome our new staff. We wish these staff all the best for the time they spend at St Joseph’s College and we thank them greatly in anticipation of the commitment and dedication they demonstrate whilst undertaking their roles at our College.

Returning Staff – Mrs Natasha Digweed (Business, Humanities), Mrs Lauren Geldard (Science)

New Staff – Mr Mal Ayuel (School Officer)

Miss Therese Cronin (English)

Mr Joe Cryle (Assistant Principal Students)

Mr Shane Hair (Religion, English)

Miss Aleesha Deegan (Art, Religion)

Ms Dani-L Pickering (Maintenance)

Mrs Emma Tolcher (English, French)

Parent and School Partnerships

At St Joseph’s College we highly value the partnerships we grow with our parents, and our staff will be endeavouring to contact parents over the upcoming weeks. In the meantime, we encourage all parents to contact their children’s teachers if you have any early concerns. This contact can be related to assistance with learning, extension material, pastoral reasons or just for the purpose of building a rapport with the teachers to benefit the students learning. Contact details for our pastoral house leaders, curriculum leaders and program leaders can be found under the respective Deputy / Assistant Principal sections in the newsletter.

Year 12 Academic Interviews

Next week we will begin our academic interview process for 2020 and all Year 12 students and their parents are invited to attend an interview with either Mrs Fellenberg, Mr Cryle, Mrs Barton, Mrs Park-Balley, Mrs Harris, Mrs Davies, Mrs Whiting, Mr Cantwell, Ms Wilson, Ms Masters or myself. The aim of this interview is to support the Year 12 students and their families by providing an up-to-date analysis of where each student lies at this point in time, in terms of academic engagement and performance. Items that will be discussed include;

• the student’s level of attendance, engagement and application
• the student’s current level of achievement in each subject
• the student’s progress toward achieving their QCE
• the student’s position within each of their classes and how this may impact upon their ATAR
• the student’s progress in school-based apprenticeships / traineeships and TAFE

We hope that all families are able to attend these important interviews as we continue to strive to work together to assist the students to achieve their personal best. If parents are not able to attend the interview and would like to still meet with a staff member, please contact the College.

Thank you to Mrs Fellenberg for her efforts in organising and preparing the staff to conduct these interviews and to the staff who are conducting the interviews.

Best wishes for the week.

Kort

Welcome to 2020.

I have always loved the following poem written by Hermann Hesse. It is called ‘Stages’. I have been reminded of it this week as I watch our Year 7s in their new endeavour of beginning Secondary school. It is true, ‘in all beginnings dwells a magic force for guarding us and helping us to live’.

It is a privilege to be a part of this stage of their journey.

Stages

As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavour,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.

As well as our Academic Middle Leaders and Pastoral Leaders there three other staff who may play a significant role in child’s life. Their contact details are below:

Madeleine Minns – Program Leader – Culture and Performance. mminns@sjc.qld.edu.au

Debbie Newton – Program Leader – Sport dnewton@sjc.qld.edu.au

Angela Masters – Vocational Education Co-ordinator  –  amasters@sjc.qld.edu.au

Welcome

Welcome back to yet another exciting and no doubt jam packed year. I am thrilled to be taking on the role of Acting Assistant Principal Religious Education and am especially looking forward to the opportunity to challenge myself. I encourage each and everyone one of you to also step outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself this year. You might be surprised with how rewarding the experience could be.  To grow we must get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

First Week Back

Tuesday morning we welcomed the Year 7 cohort to the College for their first day of high school. Obviously, this was a nerve-racking day for both students and parents but thanks to the help of the Year 12 buddies, the day went smoothly and the Year 7s were ready to face their first day on Wednesday with the remainder of the College community.

I particularly thank Miss Unsworth, Year 7 Co-ordinator, for her work in preparing this day and ensuring everything was in place for a smooth transition for the Year 7s into the College.

Wednesday morning marked the College’s first day with the whole school community. To celebrate the start of the school year, the morning began with a whole school assembly where the theme for the year was announced… Window To The Future. The prayer was focused around this theme, with a story being shared about perspective and the way we view the world.  We all have an opportunity this year to take control of our perspective and endeavour to look at our experiences with a positive and resilient mindset.

As we journey towards the future, it is important that we live in the present, acknowledging each day for the gift that it is.

One of my favourite movies is ‘Blindside’, and adaptation of the story of Michael Oher, who came from an underprivileged background to play for the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL. At one point, when engaged in a debate about whether to enrol a student like Michael, the High School football coach points at a crucifix on the wall. He says simply “We either take that seriously, or we paint over it.”

The way a community welcomes a newcomer says a great deal about its values. There are, of course, crucifixes on walls here, they an important expression of our Catholic identity. What says a great deal more about the community of St Joseph’s College is the way I have been welcomed as a newcomer.  Staff, students and parents who I have met have welcomed me in a way that made me feel instantly that I was part of the community. What’s more is that I have never sensed it was anything other than habit. Welcoming newcomers is just ‘what’s done here’, and it’s a cornerstone of this vibrant community.

My role is as the Assistant Principal- Students. I am primarily responsible for ensuring all students are engaged in their learning, that they are coming to school, that they are conduct themselves appropriately whilst at school and that they are progressing with their learning. I am very ably supported by four House Leaders:

Mr Luke Logan- Brennan House Leader (llogan@sjc.qld.edu.au)

Mrs Melissa Zenke- McAuley House leader (mzenke@sjc.qld.edu.au)

Mr Rodney Spain- Murphy House Leader (rspain@sjc.qld.edu.au)

Mr Scott Edwards- Rice House Leader (sedwards@sjc.qld.edu.au)

Each of the House Leaders manage a team of Pastoral Care (PC) teachers who will meet with your child every morning when school begins.

Please feel free to contact your child’s House Leader should you have any concerns about their safety or wellbeing at school. All research says that positive partnerships between schools, parents and guardians is a cornerstone of effective learning.

On behalf of all newcomers to this community, I once express by deepest gratitude for the way St Joseph’s has welcomed us.

Starting at a new school! This article contains some good information for parents and carers of students who are new to the College. (http://au.reachout.com/Starting-at-a-new-school). People change schools all the time, and it can be hard to adjust to a new place. There are a few things you can do to make it easier. It helps to be patient, and to have someone to talk to.

A Rough Ride

It’s normal to feel weird and different at a new place, and to miss your old friends. Other things that could bother you are:

• Having to learn a different school layout
• Missing your old friends
• Feeling shy or nervous about talking to new people
• Being drained from adjusting to all this new stuff

Making it easier

The first few weeks at your new school are probably going to be bumpy, just because you’re new. But there are things you can do:

• Do what you like. Whether it’s playing music, sports, writing, drawing or anything else, there’ll be someone who’s into the same things as you.
• Talk to people. They’re curious about you anyway because you’re new, so if there’s someone you like, have a chat with them.
• Keep in contact with your old friends – just because you’re not seeing them every day doesn’t mean you can’t stay close.
• Find an outlet. If you’ve got some way of expressing what’s happening for you – a journal, writing songs, playing sports or talking to someone – it’ll make the move easier.
• Be patient. It can be pretty annoying to have to learn all of the people, places, teachers and subjects again from scratch. But things will fall into place for you at your new school if you give them time.

Who can help?

If all of the changes are getting to you, find someone to tell about it. This person could be a friend from your old school, a family member, a counsellor or a doctor. Chatting with someone who’s a bit more distant from your situation can help.

St Joseph’s College has a wonderful pastoral care system with all students having a PC teacher and House Leaders and of course our College Counsellors – Ms D’Arcy and Ms Jones who are always available to help. If your son or daughter has started at the College and requires help with subjects or assessment, please don’t hesitate in contacting the classroom teacher, Middle Leader Curriculum or me.

Our Middle Leaders – Curriculum are :

Kellie Ford                   (kford@sjc.qld.edu.au)                           Religion

Changes to Senior Timetables

If your son or daughter needs to adjust their Year 11 timetables, this needs to be finalised in the next fortnight.  Discussion around QCE and ATAR requirements must be considered.

Academic Interviews – Senior School

All Year 12s will have a follow up academic interview with either a member of the Senior Leadership team or a Middle Leader – Curriculum.   It is important that students read their emails to know which staff member they are meeting with and when.

One of the activities students will be asked to do is to complete a “Student Eligibility Scenario”.

All Year 12s are asked to make sure they have accessed the “MyQCE website” with their LUI numbers which were posted home with their 2019 Semester 2 Report Card.

https://www.sjc.qld.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cirric-e1580270087893.jpg

Changes to Junior Timetables

As all students in Years 9 and 10 had an opportunity to discuss subject changes to electives last year, no changes are able to be accommodated for Semester One. If your son or daughter would like to make a change for Semester Two – this is still possible, and students are asked to see me with a note at break times after Week 3 this term.

Students in Years 7 and 8 all study core subjects and electives which rotate in Semester Two. No changes to these timetables are possible.

Introducing St Joseph’s Guidance Counsellors for 2020

At St Joseph’s College we take a holistic approach to education and aim to provide a positive and supportive environment to ensure the welfare of our staff and students. Our Guidance Counsellors work collaboratively within the school community to promote and foster the achievement, participation and development of mental health and wellbeing of all students. This can be achieved through whole school or class proactive wellbeing activities and programs, as well as individual and group counselling support.

We are pleased to introduce our 2020 guidance counselling team to you:

• Heather D’Arcy – Heather is a registered Psychologist and has been a full-time Guidance Counsellor at St Joseph’s for the last 15 years.
• Stephanie Jones – Stephanie commences full-time this year as a Guidance Counsellor with St Joseph’s after working at the College part time in Semester 2, 2019. She has a Defence background and is a registered Psychologist.

Students can self-refer to access guidance counselling services (by email, through a teacher or via the office). As a parent/carer, if you have concerns about your child, please feel free to contact the main office and they will arrange for a guidance counsellor to contact you.

Private Music Lessons

Music lessons have commenced this week. It is not too late to start and for new students keen to try out a new instrument there are some discounted start-up programs available. ALL students (new and continuing) must complete a 2019 permission form so they can be placed on the instrumental rosters. These forms have been sent an eForm, but forms can also be downloaded from the College Website or collected from the Music Office. Private lessons cost $36 each (approx. $290 per term) but group or shared lessons are available for some instruments. Tutors will invoice students within the first two weeks and fees are paid directly to the tutor. Students will to rotate their music lesson time (not their day) to avoid missing the same class regularly. All students will be sent a schedule of their lesson times.

Ensembles

All Ensembles commence Rehearsal in Week 2 – please bring your instrument to school and place it in the music block before PC time.

Note: NO boys choir rehearsal in Week 2 due to the swimming carnival

Music Camp

All students who play or sing in the large instrumental ensembles (bands and choirs) are invited to attend the annual Music Camp which is held at Alexandra Headlands from Friday 28 February (1.30pm) to Monday 2 March (2.00pm). To be eligible students should make a commitment to their ensemble and attend all rehearsals and performances throughout the year. The College has emailed EdSMArt permission forms home to all current members of ensembles. Please notify the College if you did not receive one. Year 7 students will receive Music Camp Information when they attend rehearsals in Week 2.

A New instrument for the College

Our First TUBA!

St Joseph’s College is proud to have purchased its first TUBA. This is a valuable instrument which plays an important role in the bands, adding depth to the music layers and power to the overall performance. We are very excited to have purchased our first Yamaha Eb Tuba. Thank you to the College Principals, past and present, for supporting the acquisition of musical instruments.

I am also delighted to have presented this amazing instrument to a passionate young musician, Alexander Tini. Alex began his music career as a YR 7 student in the Immersion program and over the last two years has proved himself to be a reliable, committed and disciplined musician. Alex will study TUBA under the tutelage of Mr Malcom Gaydon and will play it in the College Concert Band.

Congratulations Alex – St Joseph’s College is delighted to have you in the music program.

Australian Representation

Congratulations to Jada Ferguson who along with her Australian teammates, was successful in defeating New Zealand in the trans-Tasman Youth Touch Test series, 3 games to nil. The games were held in Newcastle over the Australia Day Weekend. Jada also received the coach’s player for the tournament.

I watched some of her games so if you get the opportunity to watch them, she played magnificently and deserves all the accolades.

Mr McKenzie also travelled to Newcastle as a referee and said it was hard work, but really enjoyed the experience.
