PRINCIPAL’S REPORTDear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to the last newsletter for 2016. As I write this, Year12 students have already finished and Year 10 and 11 finishtoday. This leaves us with our Year 7, 8 and 9 students for theremaining two weeks of the school year. As always this hasbeen a busy time with assessment and end of year ceremonies.Our Year 12 students had a wonderful farewell with theGraduation here at school and the Formal at the Event Centre.The graduating students looked amazing and I was very proud(and sad) to farewell them as they move onto the next phase oftheir life journey.

Year 12 GraduatesYear 12 Graduates

We are busy preparing for 2017 in these last few weeks. Nextyear will be an exciting time for the school as we move furtherinto the engagement of technology and start to prepare ourstudents for NAPLAN online (implemented in 2019) and thenew Senior Assessment System for Year 11 and 12 also to beimplemented in 2019.

Students will be required to have a high level of digital skills inorder to participate in these new systems. In order to preparethem, we have been able to reduce the expenses associatedwith the Student Resource Scheme (SRS) to enable themoney that was being allocated for SRS to be used for thepurchase of an internet enabled electronic device (BYOD).Next year will be the third year that we as a school haverequested that students bring their own device, but it is the firstyear that we are insisting that students have their own device. Ifthere are genuine hardship cases and families who are unableto fund their child’s device – please contact me by emailingprincipal@caloundrashs.eq.edu.au.

With this being the end of the year, we are farewelling someof our staff as they move on. Stuart White our wonderfulChaplain leaves us after 10 years of amazing care and supportof our school and we wish him the very best on his futureadventure – he will be missed by all. Some of our teachersare also not returning next year - Mr Malone is transferringto Maroochydore SHS, Ms Treweek has been transferred toCooroy SS, Ms McNeill is moving to NT, Mr Behne and MsWalker are retiring. Ms Poole will also be moving on, with MrBindon and Mrs Stibbe out on leave for the year. We wish

these staff the very best at their new schools or new livesoutside of school.

Can I wish all of our families a safe and enjoyable holiday break,a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and I look forwardto welcoming you back in 2017. Thank you for your ongoingsupport of our wonderful school.

Regards

Ms Julie PozzoliPrincipal

FAREWELL FROM CHAPPYIf you haven’t yet heard, 2016 is my finalyear in Chaplaincy at Caloundra SHS. Thisis a decision I have wrestled with for sometime, but together with my wife, Renee, Ifeel that it is time for us to step out into anew season.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any news as towhat I’ll be doing next, but we have a sense of excitementabout this next season and what doors might be opened up forus as a family.

The process is now underway to find a new, suitable chaplainto serve the school community from the beginning of Term 1next year.

It has been an emotional past few weeks as I’ve said goodbyeto students, and as I’ve fielded many questions such as, “Whyare you leaving us Chappy?” The past 10 years have beensome of the happiest and most fulfilling of my life. I will foreverbe grateful for the adventures, the stories, the faces and thelives I’ve been blessed to encounter. But it’s time for a freshstart - for the school and for our family. As I was talking with ayear 11 student recently, I said, “What sort of a Chappy wouldI be if I encouraged you to follow your heart and chase yourdreams, but didn’t have the courage to do it myself?”

I wish to thank Caloundra SHS and its staff - past and present- all the parents who ever supported this Chaplaincy service,the P&C association, and especially the students. Thanks forletting me into your lives the past 10 years; for trusting mewith your stories, for letting me sit with you through difficultcircumstances, and for letting me share your joy in happiertimes. You will always have a place in my heart, and I willremember you with fondness.

I hope to see you around!

Chappy

ORANGE SKY LAUNDRY

Last week Emily M., Mackenzie F. and Mr Darren Cripps(Head of Middle Secondary School) attended a communitybreakfast hosted by Max Employment. The breakfast was thebackdrop for raising awareness about Orange Sky Laundryand the great work they do for our community.

Orange Sky Laundry is the world’s first free mobile laundryservice for the homeless. A crazy idea in 2014 to put twowashing machines and two dryers in a van and wash and dryclothes for free. Starting in the streets of Brisbane, OrangeSky Laundry has now grown to 10 services across Australia,including the Sunshine Coast.

Orange Sky Laundry relies on donations and corporate support.It is hoped that in 2017, Middle Secondary School can raisesome funds to support this great initiative.

We left CSHS at 8.00am, stopped for a quick dinner around6.00pm and returned just after 7.30pm so the studentscertainly had a great time!

PARENTING ARTICLES

PARENTING IDEAS ARTICLESBelow is a new parenting newsletter. Thisarticle is to help support you and your child,and their school. The newsletter is “How to encourage kids tobe problem-solvers”. This article give great ideas and expertadvice from a well-known author and speaker, Michael Grose.

Below is a shortened version of one of the articles

How to encourage kids to be problem-solvers

By Michael Grose

When parents solve all children’s problems we not only increasetheir dependency on adults but we teach kids to be afraid of

making mistakes and to blame themselves for not being goodenough. That’s fertile ground for anxiety and depressive illness.

So, how can we raise kids to be courageous problem-solversrather than self-critical scaredy cats? Here are three practicalideas to get you started.

COMMUNITY NEWS

YOUNG INNOVATOR’S DAYStockland and Code Club Australia are teaming up to launchthe inaugural ‘Young Innovators’ Day’. This FREE technologyexpo is the first of its kind and is making its debut on theSunshine Coast. It is aimed at children under 15 years and willbe hosted by Sunshine Coast tech entrepreneur Lili Scout.

1. Turn requests into problems for kids to solveKids get used to bringing their problems to parents tosolve. If you keeping solving them, they’ll keepbringing them. ‘Mum, my sister is annoying me!’‘Dad, can you ask my teacher to pick me for theteam?’ ‘Hey, I can’t find my socks!’ It’s tempting ifyou are in a time-poor family to simply jump in andhelp kids out. Alternatively, you can take aproblem-solving approach, cuing them to resolvetheir own problems and take responsibility for theirconcerns. ‘What can you do to make her stopannoying you?’ ‘What’s the best approach to takewith your teacher?’ ‘Socks, smocks! Where mightthey be?’

2. Ask good questions to prompt problem-solvingA problem-solving approach relies on asking goodquestions, which can be challenging if you are usedto solving your child’s problems. The first questionwhen a child brings you a problem should be: ‘Canyou handle this on your own?’ Next should be, ‘Whatdo you want me to do to help you solve theproblem?’ These questions are not meant to deterchildren from coming to you; rather, to encourageand teach them to start working through their ownconcerns themselves.

3. Coach them through problems and concernsSo, your child feels she was unfairly left out of aschool sports team by a teacher and asks you getinvolved. The easiest solution may be to meet withthe teacher and find out what’s going on. You may ornot resolve the problem but in doing so you areteaching a child to become dependent on you.Alternatively, you could coach your child to speak tothe teacher herself and find out why she was left out.Obviously, there are times when children need theirparents to be advocates for them such as when theyare being bullied, but we need to make the most ofthe opportunities for children to speak forthemselves. Better to help your child find the rightwords to use and discuss the best way to approachanother person when they have problems. These aregreat skills to take into adulthood.
