Dear Parents, Carers and Students

Welcome back to all members of our College community to Term 3. I hope you had a restful and enjoyable break and were able spend time with family and friends. We are very hopeful that school life will start to return to something closer to normality this term. However, we are also very aware of the current circumstances in Victoria and the need for vigilance in meeting the COVID requirements for return to school and school activities.

At assembly on Monday morning I reinforced the few key points and expectations that were outlined in the letter I wrote to our community at the end of Semester One. As a College we believe that these expectations set a great foundation and will ensure that we get started immediately in a positive manner. The topics were based upon our school expectations that we are respectful, on time, prepared, ready to work, being aspirational and striving to do our best, I would encourage our parents to discuss these topics with their children. Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate the students and parents on the way the students returned to school. The pride our students have for their school is very evident and this all goes well for a great term.

A Prayer for Parents

Thank you Lord,  for my children.

I know they are a gift from you.

Daily I need your strength and wisdom to guide them

in the way they should go.

Give me patience, and a joyful heart;

let me be an example of your love and forgiveness.

Thank you Father, for the honour of being a parent. Amen

St Joseph’s College Commitment to Improvement

During Term Two and on Monday at our assembly I shared information with the staff and students on my vision for the creation of a four-year strategic plan for St Joseph’s College. This process began last term and will continue early this term with staff being provided the opportunity to share their thoughts with me on the following four questions:

• Why does St Joseph’s College exist and why is it important?
• Over the next 4-8 years, what do you hope that we will accomplish? What difference do you see us making? 
• What role do you see yourself playing in us achieving this difference? 
• How will we know that we are achieving our shared vision?

During Term Three and Term Four I am very much looking forward to having many discussions and information sharing sessions with the St Joseph’s College staff, students and wider community in order to do the following:

• Re-examine and evaluate our links with the history of our Toowoomba Diocese and the Toowoomba Community.
• Examine our context (Why does St Joseph’s College exist and why is it important?) and how our Vision, Mission and Values align with this context.
• Evaluate our effectiveness as a College to provide students with access to an outstanding Catholic Education.
• Develop our areas of strategic focus which will be evidence based, owned by the College community and which will empower leadership within the community to strive for our goals and develop partnerships with the wider community.
• From our areas of strategic focus, we will then develop our strategic intents and annual action plans (what are we seeking to accomplish?) and each year we will review and reshape our strategic directions and annual action plans to continue our improvement journey.
• This process will also form the basis for our staff to develop their professional learning plans for the year which will be aligned with the strategic directions of the College and the annual action plan (what role do you see yourself playing?).

Further information regarding the finer details of this process, the data sources being used to inform our evaluation and the opportunity to both provide feedback and contribute to the development of the St Joseph’s College Strategic Plan will be provided in future newsletters and broadcasts. Having engaged with this process at my previous school I am confident that we will be able to develop a rigorous and dynamic strategic plan, ensuring that St Joseph’s College continually strives for improvement in all areas.

Kort Goodman, Principal

Whilst this week marks my official start at St Joseph’s College I have been in and out of the college over the past month or so. I have felt very welcomed, both students and staff have gone out of their way to make me feel part of the Joey’s community. I am very excited to work with the St Joseph’s community to ensure that we sustain and build an environment that leads students to be aspirational and achieve their individual potential and greatness. Central to this motivation is the lived reality of the Joey’s values of Endeavour, Compassion, Dignity and Respect so that every student achieves their preferred future.

What is your background and what attracted you to St Joseph’s College?

I have been at St Mary’s College Toowoomba for the past 12 years and prior to that I was at St Edmund’s College in Ipswich. All of these schools, including St Joseph’s are all Catholic schools in the Edmund Rice tradition and charism. They aspire to be faithful to the four Edmund Rice Touchstones. These 4 touchstones are what attracts me to Edmund Rice schools and St Joseph’s College.

• Liberating Education
  • We open hearts and minds, through quality teaching and learning experiences which prepare us for the global world and future. Through a liberating education we all have the key to ‘do’ and ‘be’ what we want.
• Gospel Spirituality
  • Invite all people to the message of Jesus and strive to bring his message of compassion, justice and peace a lived reality within the community.
• Justice and Solidarity
  • Committed to justice and peace for all and to stand in solidarity with those that may be marginalised.
• Inclusive Community
  • Build a community that is accepting, welcoming and fosters right relationships and committed to the common good.

I believe that these touchstones set us up with a holistic education, to reach our potential and make a difference in our world.

What do you hope to achieve while at St Joseph’s?

• I am excited that this semester the College will be developing a shared vision through the development of a Strategic Plan which will provide future direction and alignment of College priorities.
• The vision for a St Joseph’s College graduate focusses on the Joey’s values of – Compassion, Respect, Endeavour and Dignity which is a core focus for me working in the Joey’s community. We seek a St Joseph’s College graduate who has the knowledge, skills, capabilities, emotional intelligence, grit, determination, confidence and engagement to make a difference in our world and have an empowered future for whatever pathway they choose.
• I seek to work in partnership with families as we know the best outcomes for students occur when schools work collaboratively with the child’s first educators (parents).
• I am eager to continue the great work of the College to maximise the potential of each student and ensure that their learning is as rich and rewarding as possible.

To me one of the best aspects of being a part of a faith community is the wonderful sense of community and belonging that it provides. I look forward to working with all members of our community over the coming years and thank everyone for welcoming me so warmly.

Prayer – B9

Mr Cantwell and B9 prepared prayer for staff and students of the College for them to access during Pastoral Care on Wednesday. The theme was based on the windows we looked out of during COVID-19 Lockdown. We connected this with our responsibility to care for our earth.

A Prayer for Our Earth

All-powerful God, you are present
in the whole universe
and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace all that exists with your tenderness.

Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.

O God of the poor,
help us to rescue the abandoned
and forgotten of this earth,
so precious in your eyes.

Bring healing to our lives,
that we may protect the world and not prey on it,
that we may sow beauty,
not pollution and destruction.

Touch the hearts
of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor and the earth.

Teach us to discover the worth of each,
be filled with awe and contemplation,
to recognize that we are profoundly united
with every creature
as we journey towards your infinite light.

We thank you for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle
for justice, love and peace.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.

Never Underestimate the Importance of Sport in your Child’s Learning

Every now and then I completely lose perspective and I embody all the qualities that, in the light of day, I work really hard not to be. Typically, I am at my worst on Bledisloe Cup Night, when the Australian Wallabies seem to have turned losing to our Trans-Tasman neighbours into something of an art form, and during the Ashes, the fabled test cricket rivalry between Australia and England. My wife is exercising more than admirable patience while I work on this rugby and cricket-related self-improvement initiative.

I, like a number of other staff, sat excitedly at a Rugby League meeting earlier this week because, second wave COVID implications notwithstanding, we are underway with school sport once again. The excitement around August’s ‘Mini Confro’ and ‘Mini QISSN’ is palpable, and I hope and pray that these events can go ahead as planned. All of us have missed co-curricular activities during the COVID-shutdown, and possibly thought about the holistic benefits of school sport.

Statistically, very few of our students will end up becoming elite athletes. Furthermore, we are proudly not a ‘trophy-chasing’ school. Losing a game of something can be embraced as part of our narrative just as much as winning one. So why then do we invest so much time and energy into sport?

On one level, the answer is clear. Sport is great way to make memories with friends, it challenges us and tests our character and, above all, it’s a very healthy and positive way to have fun. The direct impact of sport on student learning and academic achievement, however, are also quite clear to us now. All learning is social emotional, which is fancy way of saying that teachers and students function best together when they have a positive working relationship or the tools to build such a relationship. Above all us, sport helps us to build positive working relationships with one another. Working alongside a teammate to accomplish a goal teaches us collaboration, shaking hands with an opponent at the end of game teaches us conflict resolution, respecting a referee teaches us acceptance and resilience and graciously losing a game that we’re trying to win teaches us humility. All these skills help us to relate to others in the classroom and ultimately, to be better learners.

Please join me on thanking all the hard-working staff members who have and will continue to organise sport here at St Joseph’s College.

Each year is a new beginning and this year is no exception. COVID has changed teaching and learning forever. Both staff and students have learned new skills which I hope will be used in the future. The Senior sciences have moved, like other subjects, into new syllabi and are heading into external exams for the first time. This is not only exciting for the students but is very different from the old OP system.

For the Junior school, students this Semester will be exposed to a vast array of experimental opportunities to enrich their knowledge and understanding of the world around them.

Year 7 and 8 are using the online program, Science by Doing, created by 2020 Australian Academy of Science. This is a program that provides a Science experience around an assortment of simple activities and practical work. This program is based on Australian Curriculum and uses a repeated cycle of the five “E’s” approach: that is to Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate. This can be challenging for some as it requires them to work scientifically from experiment data and to develop concept understanding, not just rote learning information which is given to them by the teacher. This resource is also available online at any time so parents can see what their child is learning.

Year 9 and 10 have moved into a program that is aligned with ACARA but is now developing essential skills in IT, statistics, electronic programming, and critical analysis of their work to be better prepared for Senior and future learning. STEM is now a larger part of Science, in fact, I feel there is now more overlap than ever between science, mathematics and IT.

All Senior science classes will finish content delivery to students in the next few weeks. This will provide an opportunity for an extended period of review and practice of Units 3 and 4 in preparation for our 50% external exams. The College has purchased multiple resources to guide learning during this time and numerous opportunities will be provided for students to engage in practice for the external exam process.

All science students should be doing homework. This may be formally set by the teacher or be student-driven revision of work already covered. This sets up good habits and significantly improves progress. It is recommended that Year 7 to 9 should complete at least 15 minutes each night, 1.5 hours per week. Years 10 to 12 should be doing 30 minutes a night, 3 hours per week.

Nicole Davies, Middle Leader – Science   ndavies@sjc.qld.edu.au

With Covid-19 interrupting our usual school year and the community aspect of the College, the Brennan House Leaders, Catie Koelmeyer, James O’Neill and myself, together decided something needed to be organised to lift the spirits of students. We did not want students to feel alone or isolated during online learning so the idea of a house challenge was decided. With our motto being ‘Care for Everybody’ it was important that this ethos was continued during the time of isolation. The house challenges were put forward to the students and it was encouraged that everyone participated.

The first initiative was a juggling challenge, which was so successful we decided to keep going. Following this, was the cookie-to-mouth challenge and a trick shot challenge. Students videoed their attempts which were then sent to Mr Logan, who complied a video. The videos were shared amongst the house for students and teachers to enjoy. Awards for the challenges included; the care for everybody award, for the student who had us laughing or crying with their creative attempt, the most represented PC and the student who had the most skilful attempt. Prizes were awarded to the recipients at the end of Term 2. I would like to congratulate all of the students and teachers who were involved.

Further information can be found on the College Website.

On 26 March 2020, the QCAA decided to reduce the number of internal assessments from three to two to relieve the pressure on senior students during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the procedures for calculating final subject results in General subjects for 2020 need to be revised.

The QCAA Board has finalised a robust approach that will ensure fair assessment outcomes for students undertaking General subjects. Its work was guided by the following underpinning principles:

• a student should not be advantaged or disadvantaged by the combination of internal assessments they completed
• the selected method will be internationally recognised, with a proven track record in delivering fair and accurate outcomes in national and international assessment programs
• final subject results will accurately reflect the achievements of students and enable the calculation of tertiary entrance ranks
• the intent of the new system and syllabus construct will be maintained, in particular the contribution of internal and external assessment results will remain the same for each General subject, with no scaling of internal assessment results by the external assessment
• the combination of internal assessments completed by students should not prevent them from obtaining the highest possible final internal assessment score
• the fairness of the procedure will take a higher priority than simplicity of the procedure where such a decision must be made
• the procedure will be transparent to maintain credibility with students and their parents, schools and stakeholders
• the process is designed for these exceptional circumstances in

Key messages

• QCAA’s revised procedures will ensure final subject results accurately reflect student achievement and enable the impartial calculation of tertiary entrance
• For General mathematics and science subjects
  • the two internal assessments will still contribute 50% to the final subject result
  • the external assessment will still contribute 50% to the final subject
• For all other General subjects
  • the two internal assessments will still contribute 75% to the final subject result
  • the external assessment will still contribute 25% to the final subject
• The total internal assessment result for each student will be added to their external assessment result to arrive at their final subject

All students will receive a fair subject result regardless of the combination of internal assessments they have completed.

Updated FAQs can be accessed via the QCAA website. Additional resources will be available early next term to further explain the subject result calculation method for 2020.

Welcome back to a chilly Term Three- perfect reading weather, don’t you think?

I wanted to start this term’s newsletter entries with a quote and an accompanying reflection on what we strive
to achieve in the Library at SJC:

“The best book in the world is simply the one you like best…”
(Danielle Borasky, LibraryReads Unconference, 2018.)

As a Teacher Librarian and previous English Curriculum Leader, this quote resonates with me. While it is
imperative that students engage with the set texts of the Curriculum, it is equally important that they have the
opportunity to read texts of their own choice too. Afterall, it is the joy of the right book in the hands of the right
student that cultivates a love of reading and in turn, sees a litany of important skills develop and strengthen.
These skills involve key areas such as: vocabulary, grammar and punctuation, comprehension, empathy,
imagination, writing, and knowledge acquisition. But they don’t end there- the benefits of reading even expand
to wellbeing as it assists with mood and sleep, and aides in maintaining cognitive function into later life.

With this in mind, the Library Staff at St Joseph’s work hard to develop a collection that provides all students
with a range of texts to help them find their “best books in the world”. The following is a simple overview of our
collection totals, which are evidence of the vast options we provide to all members of the College community.

St Joseph’s Library Collection Numbers:

Additionally, we also subscribe to some fantastic research databases- JSTOR and Worldbook- where students
can read about a vast array of non-fiction topics online. So, we clearly provide a large range of text types and
titles to ensure that we have the right text for the right student, but this begs the question: how do we get these
texts into the hands of the right student? The answer is through a multi-pronged approach:

1. Firstly, we have qualified library staff on hand to assist students with text selection.
2. Secondly, we collaborate with your child’s English teacher to recommend texts of relevance.
3. Thirdly, we regularly change our displays to share texts on topics of interest, genres, new books and significant events.
4. Lastly, we provide curated ‘Quicklists’ of texts on our Library Website (accessed via the College intranet or: https://au.accessit.online/STJ33/) to help students find a book they might enjoy, examples of our Quicklists include: Action and Adventure Reads, Books to Movie Reads, Comic Reads, Biography Reads, Fantasy Reads, and many more.

Excitingly, in the first three weeks of Term Three, there are many changes afoot within the Library space that will only serve to increase our ability to get the right book in the right student’s hands. For example, to help students select books of interest with ease, we are currently working on sorting our fiction collection in to the key genres of: Aboriginal Peoples, Australian, Contemporary Fiction, Classics, Biography, Adventure, Fantasy, Mystery, Humour, Science-Fiction, Dystopian Fiction, Paranormal, Graphic Novels, Manga, and Family and Relationships. We will update our community with these changes and some photos in the coming newsletters so watch this space!

While we can provide all of these services to assist students with finding their ‘best books,’ we need them to engage with the services and choose to give borrowing and reading for pleasure a try. Looking at the borrowing data for Term 2, it is clear that while many students took advantage of our free resources, there are still many who were yet to borrow. As such, we would ask parents and guardians to assist us by encouraging their children to bring home a text and read. Importantly, I want to stress that students needn’t feel pressured to borrow a full-length novel (as this can be overwhelming for some) they can choose to borrow a shorter, graphic text, or even a magazine.

Anything that gets them into the practice of reading is a good choice.

We have been working hard to revive and reinvigorate the College’s social media, in particular through our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with what is happening at St Joseph’s College.

“It’s never been more challenging for parents to raise happy, healthy and resilient children.
Like never before, parents need to be informed with clear, fact-based information on the many challenges faced by today’s youth. Topics such as youth anxiety, depression, self-harm, drug and alcohol use, cyberbullying and many others need clear explanation and guidance.

SchoolTV is a new ongoing resource that is now available to our parents. Each edition will address a major topic with expert interviews, fact sheets, parent quiz, recommended apps, books and much more. SchoolTV aggregates information from many great resources such as BeyondBlue and ReachOut, amongst others. SchoolTV provides a single stream of independent factual information that saves parents time and confusion of searching online across multiple sites for information.

Year 12 Students

QTAC information sessions: will take place during class time in Week 2, beginning Tuesday.

Students who are absent or miss the session for any reason will have opportunities to catch up.

Q & A sessions: I will be available every Monday & Tuesday from 3pm to 4pm in Room 22B, to answer any questions a Year 12 student or parent may have.  For example:

• QTAC applications – how it works
• scholarship applications – tips, examples
• pathway options & back-up plans, to name a few

I am also a good sounding board for students and their parents/caregivers who have ideas but unable to decide. Hopefully I may be able to point you in the right direction, provide facts & realistic options.

One on one conversations with students and parents are a better option if your questions are very specific to your circumstances.

Year 10 students and their parents/caregivers are also asking questions about subject selection and realistic pathway options. Please make sure you contact me to have these conversations.

Monday to Thursday, during school hours.
