From the Headmaster

An essential component for ensuring the success of Toowoomba Grammar School is a carefully articulated Strategic Plan to guide key decision-making both now and in the future. School Strategic Plans have been a feature of our School for decades and it is hugely rewarding to see these aims come to fruition. When I first commenced as Headmaster of TGS in 2003, I immediately noted the shortcoming of having an outdoor swimming pool at the School that could not offer year-round use for the boys due to the Toowoomba climate. The Board of Trustees also considered the inadequacy of the Trenerry Gymnasium when the School’s GPS volleyball, basketball and other

sports commitments required far greater court space.In 2009, we filled in the former outdoor swimming pool (originally

known as the School Baths and built in 1927) and commenced building the indoor Aquatic Centre in 2010. After almost a decade of planning, the School has now also achieved a second major aim – the new Sports Centre which is named in honour of Mr Glen McCracken, the Chairman of the School’s Board of Trustees since 1999. The construction of this amazing building has required lengthy consideration and planning. First, the site for the Glen McCracken Sports Centre had to be identified and it was agreed to have it adjacent to the existing gymnasium and the Aquatic Centre to represent a major sporting precinct in the School’s campus. The location also allowed the architects to effectively use the significant slope of the land to enable the builders to lower the building and therefore decrease its physical impact.

Dear Parents,

The desirability of this “footprint” required the Board of Trustees to demolish two buildings known as the Arts Block – the art classrooms and the manual arts workshop (built in 1982). To allow for the demolition of these buildings, the Board also needed to identify an appropriate space to offer completely refurbished spaces for the teaching of Art and Industrial Design & Technology. This was to be the then Boyce and Taylor Boarding Houses which had been regarded as offering a then sub-ideal venue for boarding. To use these buildings for Art and Drama (Boyce) and Industrial Design and Technology (Taylor), we had to build two new Boarding Houses – Boyce and Taylor. These new boarding houses were completed in 2015.

The Glen McCracken Sports Centre represents an outstanding facility for teaching, learning and physical activity. Not only does it provide an incredible learning space for the boys, it also enables a wide variety of indoor sports to be offered which will cater to the interests of the vast majority of boys – volleyball, basketball, indoor cricket, indoor football (soccer), table tennis, badminton, handball and strength and conditioning, cardio exercise and more.

I hope all students will be immensely proud to have this new

building as part of the School’s infrastructure and will derive both enjoyment and benefit from it.

Relevant to the Glen McCracken Sports Centre, the building will be formally opened on Sunday, 16 September at 11:00 a.m. All parents, boys and friends of the School are welcome to join us in such a celebration. The timing of 11:00 a.m. on this day has been selected as many parents and boys will already be in attendance at the School with the conclusion of the Rugby season and the presentation of Rugby Awards in the Assembly Hall.

On Thursday, 9 August the School welcomed Professor Jeffrey Brand from Bond University to address parents on the topic of computer gaming and adolescents. Those present were engaged by the Professor’s presentation incorporating both research data and practical suggestions to influence the extent of time teenagers spend on screen time. Please click here to view Professor Brand’s presentation or to watch the full presentation via YouTube, click here. I am also hoping that Professor Brand will send to me a copy of a draft contract to be discussed, prepared and signed outlining digital technology, social media and gaming use in the household. I will forward this to you in due course.

Yours sincerely,Peter B. HauserHeadmaster

From the Deputy HeadmasterInternational and Cultural ProgramsThe School has enjoyed a rich exposure to various international cultures with visiting students from multiple destinations around the world. We have a number of exchange students from South Africa, France and the Czech Republic this term, with further plans for students to arrive next term from the Scindia School, India. Specifically, we welcome Neal Burger from St John’s College, South Africa, and Mathis Bertout from France, who are spending the term in Year 10. Recently, we have had short stays from boys on Lions Youth Exchange programs, hailing from Israel, Turkey and France. We also have welcomed to the School, Dominik Brzon and Ondrej Vaclavik from The Business Academy School in Prague. The Principal and Vice-Principal from The Business Academy of Prague visited TGS in February this year. Following that visit it was agreed that The Business Academy School in Prague would host two young Old Boys, Joel Beveridge and Chris Spanner (2017 school leavers) and TGS would host two Prague students on exchange. Dominik and Ondrej will be in Year 12 throughout the majority of Term Three.

This term, the Languages Department and the School have hosted a considerable number of international students from various cities throughout France and from several Japanese high schools as part of our languages programs. Students studying French and Japanese at Grammar have been able to practise their skills with the exchange students by having them in classes and interacting generally with

them around the School. It is a wonderful opportunity for our boys to see the potential of their language study, and to discuss with foreign students the relevance and currency of proficiency in a second or third language.

Most recently, we have played host to a group of 12 boys from Keio Shiki Boys High School on exchange from Japan to experience school and family life in Australia. Many of the boys hosting our guests will stay with their exchange students when they visit Japan on the Japanese Language and Cultural Tour in September this year. The focus of this exchange program is to provide a variety of opportunities to interact with language students across the year levels and to promote intercultural awareness and appreciation. The boys attended lessons as well as participated in extra-curricular activities with their host brothers. Together, our students conducted surveys and interviews with the visitors, enjoyed traditional

activities and competed against each other in obstacle races and word competitions. Such reciprocal exchanges allow students to experience each other’s culture, language and lifestyle in greater depth and add a greater sense of purpose to their studies.

Takatsuki Earthquake Relief Appeal

The School, and in particular the Languages Department and students of Japanese, have been long-term supporters of Toowoomba’s Sister City relationship with Takatsuki, Japan. Over the past month, unfortunately, many parts of Honshuu, the main island of Japan, including our Sister City of Takatsuki, have suffered a number of natural disasters. Takatsuki experienced a powerful earthquake, causing major damage to roads and over 3,000 buildings, followed by record-breaking heavy rain in the first week of July, in the wake of Typhoon Maria. The city was again put on disaster alert for sediment and flooding and landslide dangers.

The cities of Toowoomba and Takatsuki have already forged a strong bond in the face of disaster. The City of Takatsuki donated $30,000 to our own disaster appeal following the 2011 floods that hit the Toowoomba region. In response to the situation currently faced by Japan, the Rotary Club of Toowoomba East (RCTE) set up a relief appeal and the Language students with the Interact Club fundraised with a cultural fusion of food items ranging from Yakisoba noodles to sausages and sno cones. The boys raised $600 to contribute to the

cause.Following this support by the boys, it was terrific to welcome the

Takatsuki Football Federation delegation and 20 players as part of a week-long visit to their sister city of Toowoomba. The touring party spent a day touring the School, spending some time playing Futsal with our boys and concluding with an enjoyable lunch in the Pavilion. With 16 TGS Football boys soon to tour Takatsuki in September, the exercise to meet new friends was invaluable for both sets of boys.

Further Service and Charity ActivitiesThe Interact Club has continued its great work raising awareness

and funds for charities throughout the year. GPS fixtures hosted at home provide an opportunity for the boys to raise money by seeking donations and through the selling of sno cones and fairy floss. For the next home game against Churchie on Saturday, 1 September, the boys have decided to raise money for drought relief. We hope many of our families and visitors will get behind this important cause to support those on the land. The boys will also conduct a free dress day on Friday, 31 August to help contribute funds to this cause.

Other service initiatives this term include support for the RSPCA through the selling of cupcakes and a stationery collection for children in schools in Vanuatu. The ravages of Cyclone Pam in 2015 are still evident with funds being diverted to infrastructure rebuilding while little remains to support the education system. Coupled with poverty, many families cannot provide the basic stationery required for school, such as pencils, pens, books and erasers. The Interact Club is arranging for a collection of such items to be sent to Vanuatu and families are encouraged to get behind this.

Similarly, the successful “Football Boots for Zambia” campaign from last year is continuing again. Boys will be asked to donate any old football boots for use by children in need in Zambia. The program will extend this year to also include school shoes. A collection will be arranged for the end of term, and again, any donations would be most appreciated.

At present a number of boys from Years 11 and 12 are preparing to participate in the Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camp. This represents an inspiring way in which our boys can provide companionship and support to young children with disabilities at the start of the Term 3 holiday break.

I am thrilled with the many and various service programs and initiatives arranged by the boys. With so many opportunities available, we encourage as many as possible to participate in either House, School or Interact Club service activities. Thinking of others and giving of time is such an important trait for our boys to develop and value.

Uniform ShopFrom the Head of Senior SchoolDr Greg Wells is a Canadian scientist, professor and author who has dedicated his career to understanding human performance. Recently, I attended one of his lectures and in it he posed a problem that he called the “Billion Person Problem”. The truth is, the issues he discussed probably affect more than one billion people but in essence he asked us to consider the follow facts:• Sleeplessness affects close to 20% of our population• Non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and

cardiovascular disease are now the leading cause of death in all parts of the world except Africa

• Two in every three Australian adults are overweight or obese (AIHW 2014-15)

• One in every four Australian children is overweight or obese (AIHW 2014-15)

• The World Health Organisation has identified physical inactivity as one of the greatest threats to human health

• One in five (20%) Australians aged 16-85 experience a mental illness in any year (Black Dog Institute).

Dr Wells proposed four solutions to the issues listed above:1. We need to sleep soundly.2. We need to move more.3. We need to eat smarter.4. We need to think clearly.

Dr Wells gave simple solutions that were supported by extensive research in his presentation. As a teacher of Health and Physical Education, I was already well aware of the second and third solutions but must admit to not giving sound sleep and good thinking practices much attention. If you want to find out more about the importance of sleep, I recommend you watch the TED Talk by Russell Foster, called “Why do we sleep?”.

If you are worried about your son’s sleep patterns or his thinking, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg recommends the following:• Do not allow phones, tablets, computers and television in his

bedroom.• Dim lights one hour prior to bedtime – even in the bathroom while

he is brushing his teeth!• Sleep tracking – many wearable fitness devices will track sleeping

patterns that can be analysed on mobile phone applications after waking up the following day.

Mindfulness is about focussing on the present. Recent research into mindfulness indicates that it can reduce stress, improve concentration and memory, increase productivity and enhance relationships. Your son may benefit from mindfulness and it is easy to practise. Smiling Mind is an app that assists with age specific, guided meditations. If your son prefers to write, he might like the app, Three Good Things – A Happiness Journal.

Ms Suzanne Connelly, the School’s Co-ordinator of Pastoral Care and teacher of English, will start trialling the use of mindfulness in Pastoral Care Groups on a Friday afternoon in the hope that it will teach the boys to look after their mental health and think more clearly. Mrs Gabrielle Battersby, Boyce Day Housemaster, recently wrote to all of her families with the assistance of Mr Tony Wallis, Boyce Boarding Housemaster, on the importance of an evening routine. The boarders are accustomed to their routine and as such, good sleep practices are promoted within the boarding houses. Below is Mr Wallis’s summary of

the evening routine in Boyce Boarding House.Prep Time

We call our evening homework time ‘prep’. Homework implies it is just completing what has been set by class teachers. Prep is about completing homework and assignments, as well as preparing for upcoming lessons and assessment. If boys have no set homework on an evening, we then encourage them to start planning and completing assignments, as well as reading ahead in their textbooks or class novels. In the rare event that a boy has nothing to complete and cannot start working ahead, we allow him to read for pleasure.

TimeMonday to Thursday, our Boarders prep from 7:00 – 8:00pm, have

a 15-minute supper break and then prep again from 8:15 – 8:45pm. Our older boys will regularly be working past 8:45pm, but we find if our Year 8 and 9 boys are being proactive and planning their time wisely, they seldom need to work beyond this time. The boys have no formal prep on Friday or Saturday night, but we prep again from 7:00 – 8:15pm on Sunday. In the latter half of each term, we will generally also set 60 minutes of prep on a Sunday afternoon. Our Seniors will have to do at least 60 minutes during the day on Sunday just to keep up – our most motivated students will find two to four hours on a Sunday.

TechnologyThe boys are not permitted their phones during prep and they ensure

in the first couple of minutes of prep (please see below) that their iPads and laptops have any possible distractions turned off. This means closing all social media, games or videos, and ensuring notifications are disabled.

We apply consequences if the boys don’t comply with this requirement. We do allow the boys to wear head phones and listen to quiet music as they work. They must have a play list organised in advance if doing this, so they are not choosing a new song every three minutes. We also ensure that the boys do not have their technology after lights out. Their phones and iPads are locked away each evening, and we check to ensure they are not using their laptops after lights out. Again, if any boys are found using their laptops after lights out, consequences are applied, including having their laptops locked away each evening.

Prep RoutineIn the first five minutes of prep, the boys:

• ensure tech distractions are disabled;• check and action emails (as they may sometimes receive reminders or

work via email. It also means there is at least one time each day where they are checking their emails);

• check their Diary and / or term planner (the term planner is found at the end of the blue pages at the front of the Diary) and prioritise what is to be done, based on urgency and importance. This can also help us when we are told they have “nothing to do”; we can then ask, “When is your next assignment due?”, and this then drives the next phase of work.

Year 12 QCS TestThe Year 12 boys are entering their final preparations for the QCS Test. They have sat their final practice test and have been debriefing with teachers. Year 12 boys will be invited to a special breakfast prior to the first QCS Test session on the morning of Tuesday, 4 September. This is a good chance for the boys to come together, relax and enjoy the company of their friends before taking on this very important period of testing. I would like to wish the Year 12 boys sitting the QCS Test all the very best.

In the final week of this term, all Junior School boys will be involved in our musical production of Madagascar – A Musical Adventure Jr ©. The lead actors have been learning their lines and rehearsing since early last term. Full scene rehearsals are now taking place, involving every year level from Prep to Year 6. This is an exciting time for the boys and staff as we move towards the business end of the production. The accompanying photograph shows some boys inside one of the main props that sailed into the Junior School Hall in recent days. I wish the boys and staff all the best for an entertaining production.

Representative SportIn recent weeks, several Junior School boys have experienced a nice degree of success at a representative level. Bailey Harm (Year 5) spent time in Hobart at the National School Sport Swimming Championship. Bailey finished fifth in the 10 years 50 metre freestyle final. He then swam the freestyle leg in the 10 years medley relay, with the team taking out first place and Bailey bringing home a gold medal.

Tom Bailey (Year 6) and Patrick Nolan (Year 6) played for the Darling Downs team at the Queensland Under 12 Rugby Union Championship in Cairns in early August. The team made the grand final after winning their first five games. The only loss came in the final but the team was awarded the Country Cup as the best performing country team at the championship.

Pictured above are some of the musical leads (penguins) (L – R) Bona Roberts, Jett Heffernan, Angus Dann and Hayden Fellenberg inside the boat with Jackson Smiddy (Alex the Lion).

In the first week of August, Daniel Fenwick-Blower (Year 5) travelled to the Sunshine Coast as a member of the Under 12 Darling Downs Football team to compete in the State Championship. The Darling Downs team finished in sixth place after winning four games, losing four and drawing two. Daniel enjoyed this experience and hopes to get another opportunity next year to compete as he is only 11 years old.

Max Grills (Year 6) played in the Darling Downs team at the Under 12 Touch Football State Championship in Bundaberg in the second week of August. The Darling Downs team only lost one game in the eleven game rounds. They then went on to play South Coast in the Grand Final and lost 6-3. The team played well and Max was pleased to score the first try of the Grand Final.

Hugh Campbell (Year 6) will compete in the Under 13 Queensland Ice Hockey Team at the National Championship in Canberra later this month. I believe Hugh is the first representative ice hockey player we have had in the Junior School. We wish him all the best for this national competition.

Eisteddfod Success Many boys and staff were involved in the instrumental section of the Toowoomba Eisteddfod in recent weeks, with our individual instrumentalists and various ensembles featuring prominently. The Junior School instrumental program is substantial, with entry level involving our Year 2 string program and the Year 4 woodwind, brass and percussion program. Beyond this, there are many instrumental ensembles that boys can join involving brass, woodwind, strings and percussion. The highlight is being invited to join the Junior School orchestra.

Approximately 35 boys are members of our Junior School Orchestra and play at an advanced level. These boys won their section at the Eisteddfod for the fourth year in a row. Overall, Junior School ensembles were awarded five first place trophies, four second place and three third place awards, along with several highly commended certificates. This is a fine achievement when you consider we are the only boys’ school competing in the Primary School sections at the Eisteddfod.

I congratulate the boys on their efforts and successes. The music staff who prepare and conduct our ensembles, consisting of Mrs Davidson, Mrs Dixon, Ms Brix, Ms Chegwidden, Mrs Buchholz, Ms Fletcher and Mrs Crook deserve high praise for their development of Junior School music.

Regards

QCS TestThe QCS tests will be held on Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 September. These 4 tests are akin to the GPS final of academic pursuits in the boys’ schooling life. It is the ultimate team event, where the performance of each student contributes to the outcome of the group and ultimately, how the boys’ OPs are calculated. The boys are well prepared; the recent round of trials have demonstrated their continual improvement. Teachers marked the student responses and for the short reponse tasks, gave quality feedback on the sorts of issues that can easily be overcome to improve. Each boy also received individual, detailed feedback on their writing task trial. The writing task is different to any sort of test the boys would do in their courses; writing 600 words on a central idea that each boy generates from the theme and the stimulus material. I have been encouraging the boys to take ownership of this task, as they can completely control how well they plan for and write their piece. Attention to detail in grammar and punctuation as well as structuring their response well can reap great benefits. The boys should feel confident in their preparation and their ability to give these tests their best. However, these are a couple of gruelling days in terms of academic stamina and the boys need to be mentally and physically prepared. All boys have been given lists of the required equipment for each test. A simple way to reduce stress is to ensure all equipment is ready the day before and in good working order. This includes spare black pens and spare calculator batteries. Encourage

your son to get plenty of sleep, to eat well and maintain his balance, including plenty of exercise. In the event that your son is ill on the day of the test, please do not send him to school. He can still get an OP; however, he must have a medical certificate dated the day of the test by a medical practitioner who is not a relative. In the event of injury such as a broken arm, I can apply for special provisions which may include extra time or use of a computer. However, I need the medical certificate as soon as possible.

Year 8 Reading ChallengeEvery year, Mrs Derouet, Head of Library and Information Services runs a reading challenge with the Year 8 students. While many of us read for enjoyment, some boys find reading a chore. There are very clear links between reading for enjoyment and higher literacy skills and so the reading lessons in Years 7 and 8 are designed to encourage the boys to broaden the range of texts they select for pleasure and to become more confident readers. While we can anecdotally discuss the benefits of reading for our boys, Mrs Derouet will be conducting research with a focus group throughout this year’s reading challenge. This multi-faceted action research project will explore boys’ engagement with a diverse range of text types. First and foremost, the results of this research will be used to inform how best to support boys with their reading. The results of this research will also be presented in 2019 in Canada at the International Boys’ Schools’ Coalition annual conference.

MootingThe Year 11 Mooting team recently competed in the semi-finals of the USQ Mooting competition. The team, comprising Campbell Snow (Senior Counsel), Xavier Schubert (Junior Counsel) and Paul Stark (Instructing Solicitor), argued for the respondent in a complex murder case filled with ambiguity in a mock Court of Appeal. Mooting requires a unique skill set. While analysis of the cases, use of supporting evidence from related cases and public speaking are obvious skills necessary to get up and argue a case, it is the interaction with the trial judge which makes the process so interesting. While maintaining the very strict court protocols, the boys must be able to flexibly move around their arguments as the trial judge scrutinises their case. The ability to think on your feet and respond to questions, while simultaneously adjusting the prepared submission is an incredibly complex role. Our students performed admirably, being defeated by the favourites by 1 point.

The life-long skill associated with public speaking is also enhanced through another school activity, namely debating. At TGS we have 11 debating teams competing in the Queensland Debating Union (QDU) competition which also requires flexibility of thought as the boys attend closely to the opposition so they can effectively rebut their case while strengthening their own. I encourage all boys to consider becoming involved in any activity which will strengthen their public speaking confidence; this is a skill which will hold them in good stead for their entire lives.

Student AchievementOur boys competed exceptionally well over the 10 days of the recent Language Perfect World Championships, spending 1140 hours answering more than 500,000 questions. We are really delighted by the boys’ efforts and particularly the results of the highest achievers. Receiving a Gold Award were Gabriel Schubert, Fred Hill, Issiah French, Will Smith and Tom Bragg with over 3000 points. Archie Craig received an Emerald award with over 5000 points. However, our Elite Award recipients were truly worthy of the huge applause they received on assembly with Joshua Brown, answering 19,000 questions, Zen De Silva with 21,000 questions, and Sean Bain, who answered a staggering 25,000 questions.

The Australian History Competition is a competition prepared by the History Teachers’ Association of Australia with a primary goal of providing an interesting and challenging competition for students using the Australian History Curriculum.

This year, 42 boys from Year 10 volunteered to complete the competition. Toowoomba Grammar School had 2 boys receive a High Distinction with 86% cut-off and 7 boys awarded a Distinction with an 80% cut-off mark.

The boys receiving a Distinction were Archie Steele, Bailey Skeates, Benjamin Shelton, Connor Mullins, Dan Brown, Mitchell Sainsbury and Morgan Galvin.

The two boys awarded a High Distinction were Jake Hartley and Sebastian Hulme Peake.

Congratulations to the recipients of Distinction and High Distinction in the ICAS Science competition. William Byrne in Year 7 should be particularly proud of his High Distinction sitting on the 99th percentile in the country with his result. The following students should also be very pleased with their results, receiving a Distinction award.

Uniform ShopFrom the Director of Sport & ActivitiesTerm Three sport within the GPS Association is synonymous with the sports of Rugby, Basketball and Chess. However, at Toowoomba Grammar School, the opportunities for students to participate in a range of co-curricular endeavours extend far beyond just these three sports. This article examines the breadth of what TGS provides and acknowledges the fantastic efforts of teams and individuals in their pursuit of success and representative honours in the co-curricular sphere of the School.

RugbyThe 2018 Rugby season began with an exciting round against Downlands College and we extend our thanks to them for their hospitality in hosting us this year. The TGS Rugby program continues to improve each season under the guidance of the Director of Rugby, Mr Jono Farrell and evidence of this was the fact Toowoomba Grammar School was victorious in each game against Downlands College during the GPS Bye Round. Subsequent rounds against Ipswich Grammar School, The Southport School and Nudgee College were hard fought affairs across all our age groups and with mixed results across the matches. As we continue through the season, I would encourage each player to play the game with sportsmanship and honour as well as continue to wear the Blue and Gold with pride.

BasketballThe Glen McCracken Sports Centre has been extremely well received within the TGS community as well as our visiting schools. Games against Ipswich Grammar School (Round 2) and Nudgee College (Round 4) were played in front of large crowds and the atmosphere within the centre was electric. The 1st V were unlucky not to secure the win against Nudgee College after a growth in self-confidence following their close defeat by The Southport School (Round 3). Across the TGS Basketball program, the skill development of individual players and

the fostering of positive culture in each age group is made possible by the dedicated staff of coaches who are ably led by the Director of Basketball and 1st V coach, Mr Kabe Cicolini. We look forward to the continued development of this program under his tutelage and Toowoomba Grammar School Basketball will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with across the GPS Association.

SwimmingIn late July, a number of TGS swimmers competed in the Australian Schools Titles in Hobart. This was the culmination of months of preparation and hard work by our swimmers who managed to achieve 17 Gold, and 13 Bronze medals throughout the days of competition. Henry Reardon (10 Boyce) stamped himself as a future Paralympian with outstanding results. Brothers Bailey and Cooper Harm also displayed their swimming prowess with excellent results. Both swimmers are sure to be assets to the future of TGS Swimming. All swimmers who participated are to be commended on their results.

ChessCongratulations to the TGS Premier Chess Team on once again winning the Toowoomba Schools’ Chess Championship Open Division. Toowoomba Grammar School has won this Chess Championship for 24 years in succession. We also congratulate the boys on their fine win in the GPS Chess Competition against The Southport School in Round 3 and Nudgee College in Round 4.

Queensland Schools’ VolleyballToowoomba Grammar School has been competing in the Queensland Volleyball Schools’ Cup for 15 years. This year, for the first time, the School qualified to compete in the elite Open Honours division. This provided the opportunity for our athletes to compete against the best teams in the state. A Top Three place in this competition would then see qualification to the Open Honours division at the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup held in Melbourne in December each year.Led by the Captain of Volleyball, Watson Blaikie, the available members of the 2018 1st VI worked intensely from the beginning of Term Three in preparation for this competition. Held over three days, the team was pushed to their end playing six games and a cumulative total of 13 hours of volleyball. Finishing the weekend with 4 wins and only 2 losses, they were unable to secure a top three position, being out of contention by 0.009 of a point on set ratios. Playing for pride and overall 7th place, the team made quick work of the opposition on the last morning of play to be amongst the top teams of the state.Our Year 12 students have left a valuable legacy to the incoming 1st VI by playing hard, competitive volleyball with respectful and ethical undertones.

FootballThe TGS U15 Football squad was successful in winning the Bill Turner Cup and being crowned State Champions. The team was ably led by Ben Moore (10 Mackintosh) and played a very tense game in the semi-final against Kawana Waters State College. Two goals to Henry Wells (10 Boyce) allowed the team to secure the win and proceed to the Final.In the Final against Palm Beach Currumbin, the players knew this would be a difficult match. After a 1-1 draw at the end of normal time, the regulations stated that a ‘drop-off’ system would be implemented whereby each team would lose one player every five minutes until a goal was scored. Suffice to say, this regulation provided a gruelling environment in which to compete but the TGS team found an inner reserve and with a penalty awarded to Dylan Proctor, TGS was able to secure the Bill Turner Cup for 2018. This now allows the team to compete in the National Championships in September held at Newcastle, NSW. Well done to those players, Mr Peter Broadfoot, and Mr Chris Mcleod for all their efforts in preparing the team for such success.

FutsalThe TGS U12 and U13 Futsal squads, competed valiantly at the recent Championships. However, the calibre of the opposition and tough playing conditions meant our teams finished outside of the Top 8. The U14 squad, coached by Mr Tom Lund were successful in their matches all the way through to the finals before succumbing to Chancellor College 6-2 in the Final. The U16 boys progressed through the day undefeated with 7 wins from 7 games and won the Final in golden goal extra time 5-4 over Robina State High School. Both the U14 and U16 squads have earned automatic qualification into the Australasian Finals in November with the U13 and U15 squads a possibility of playing as wildcard entries. Congratulations to all those athletes who competed and I extend my thanks to Mr Broadfoot and Mr McLeod for all their coaching, administration and mentoring support they provided our students in this venture.

Orienteering Well done to the students who competed in the QLD Schools’ Orienteering Carnival in Brisbane on 28-29 July. The students represented TGS with enthusiasm and distinction with Sam Gladwin, Isaac Burke and Gabriel Schubert achieving commendable results. However, special mention must be made of Oliver Schubert and his selection to represent Queensland at the Australian Schools’ Championships in South Australia in October.

From the Director of Boarding

We seem to be racing through this term and the boarders have been busy with many academic, co-curricular and social activities.

On Thursday, 9 August our boarding community came together in the Centenary Dining Hall for a Formal Dinner. The boys were asked to wear their blazer dress uniform for this special occasion. Many commented on the delicious meal provided by the Catering Staff. The tables were all set formally and the boys were encouraged to use their best table manners.

We were all entertained by our guest speaker, James Holbeck, a former professional rugby player who more recently has been working for Rugby Australia in player transition. James had the full attention of the boys throughout his address. He used good humour and a few stories to get his key messages across. He challenged the boys to be true to themselves, to look after each other and to allow their friends to strive for improvement rather than knocking them for having a go. The address from James was very well received and I’m sure the boys took away some useful messages. Special congratulations to Jack Waugh, Tim Faingaanuku and Harry Rogan who all did an excellent job in their respective speaking roles on the night.

We regularly remind the boarders to make use of the academic tutors who are present during Prep time in the evenings. The tutors are there to assist with homework, checking assignments, preparation for exams and to work with boys who are seeking to improve their knowledge in a subject. Some of the boys are utilising this service consistently, but there are many who are reluctant to ask the tutor to check their work or help them with something they don’t understand. The tutoring program is a great opportunity made available for the boarders and it is tailored to be

as easy as possible for the boys to access. Please discuss this with your son and encourage him to make use of the tutors. It may also help to contact your son’s Housemaster if you think some extra encouragement from them might help.

The recreation program has continued to provide a variety of optional activities for the boarders this term. A large number of boys make use of the gym every Friday night under the supervision of the School’s Recreation Activities Supervisor. We have also had recent trips to the Brisbane Ekka and an afternoon of golf at Borneo Barracks Golf Course. All boys receive weekly information about upcoming activities and it is simple to sign up. Please encourage your son to consider these options if he is looking for things to do over the weekend.An email was sent to all boarding parents recently advising that the School is running its bus service to Brisbane Airport on the last day of this term. Please contact me if you need any clarification or if you would like to reserve a seat for your son on this bus.

I hope to see many of you in the remaining weeks of this term and I also hope those needing rain get some relief soon.

From the LibraryThe opportunities available to students and staff at Toowoomba Grammar School are many and varied. I am fortunate to be part of the current International Boys’ Schools’ Coalition (IBSC) Action Research project, the topic being Boys and Stories: Pathways to Learning. My research topic will focus on recreational reading, with selected boys being required to complete a reading challenge, choosing from a list of themes.

While this group will be the focus of my research for the IBSC, all of Year 8 will be involved in a reading challenge. It is well known that reading has a positive influence on academic skills, including improving spelling and vocabulary use. Boys have reported to me that when they read regularly, they notice an improvement in their work, and are more relaxed and ready for sleep when reading hard copy books before bed.

At the beginning of this term I asked all Year 8 students to complete a survey about their recreational reading before setting their own reading challenge. Out of 141 student responses, 62.4% said they read a range of novels, biographies, manga, graphic novels and information books for recreation. It is my goal to increase this percentage by challenging all of Year 8 to read beyond their comfort zone, to introduce them to new and varied books they might enjoy. The boys were asked how they find out about books to read. Many of them said they heard about books from family members, including parents, grandparents and siblings, as well as their teachers, school library staff and displays, and reading lessons. So together, our boys are well catered to explore the joys of recreational reading.

Training this month has been very busy since our return to school. The second weekend of term was held as a school activity on a private farm out at Cooby Dam, just outside Toowoomba. This activity was a tactical exercise in reconnaissance, observation and patrolling. Everyone had a marvellous time and we would like to thank our volunteers for their help, along with Mr Barry O’Sullivan for the use of his property.

The following week we had our annual photographs taken in the School’s Old Hall, followed by our Training in Dining Night in the Jacaranda Room. This is part of the Cadet Training Program, providing the Cadets with a military dining tradition. A number of Corporals were staffed as waiters for the evening and again I must thank our band of volunteers for their help in the kitchen plating food and washing up.

A group of Cadets went to the Oakey Army Aviation Training Centre on a Wednesday evening to shoot at the WTSS facility. These Cadets are part of our team which will be competing in the upcoming Tri-Service Competition and we put in some commendable scoring for the Shooting Trophy. LT(AAC) Langston is currently training our team of 13 who will go to Oakey next Sunday for the Competition. The activities include drill, observation, obstacle course, tent construction, first aid, general knowledge and other team building activities.

Last week at home, 2 and 3 Platoons completed training for engineering, along with learning and revising some basic knots and lashings. They concluded the activity by constructing some stretchers. The Tri-Service Team practised their drill and general knowledge and 1 Platoon were given instruction on the finer points of drill.

Next term our bivouac is at Leslie Dam where we will do some water activities together with a number of team building activities and personal challenges. I am advised that despite the dam being only 10% capacity there will be enough for our water activities. We will also be doing a water test in the School’s Aquatic Centre in the near future to comply with Cadet Policy.

School Counsellor From the School CounsellorNavigating a family separationAs I sit down to write my newsletter article, I acknowledge the sensitive and difficult nature of the subject matter I intend to address. Whilst family breakdown is complex, and often not the result of a single event, I feel it is an important topic to speak to given its increasing prevalence and impact on families.

Separation is a major event for all parties involved, especially children. Whilst the relationship between two adults has ended, it is important to remember that you are both parents of the same children. The period post separation can be challenging for children and is usually a foreign experience for all. Not only will children experience the immediate emotional effects post separation, they are then tasked with navigating a grief and loss period as the ensuing change to family life occurs. It is important to remember during the immediate period post separation, children will need time to adjust to a new change in households, routines and parenting styles. Further, as children mature and grow, they will often re-evaluate and reprocess the separation as they transition through each life stage.

As parents, it is our job to make it easy for children to maintain a relationship with both parties. This can be difficult as people may move through the stages of separation at a different pace, often experiencing different feelings at different times. For some, their former partner may have come to terms with the separation, whilst they continue to negotiate feelings of anger, guilt or denial, making it difficult to keep the best interests of the children at the forefront of the agenda.

There is a wealth of information and resources available to support individuals and families through times of separation. In light of my experience in supporting students to manage the impact family separation has on them, I have complied a brief list of my top strategies for parents below:

1. Provide a simple and honest account of events without blame – this should be done as a united front, where possible.

2. Tell children that the separation was an adult decision and that they are not to blame in any way;

3. At all times, draw a line between adult business and what children need to know;

4. Seek your own support and do not confide in or rely on your children for emotional support. This is not their role and doing so complicates their transition through adolescence;

5. Where possible, direct any questions about the other parent to that parent. This avoids the “he said/she said” battle and encourages skill development of effective communication and assertiveness;

6. Let significant others know what is happening (i.e. the school, the parents of their friends, other extended family members); and

7. In all cases, find a way to communicate politely and respectfully with your former partner. Children are not, and should not be treated as messengers between their parents.

My hope for parents reading this article is for them to take away the understanding that parental separation, no matter how amicable, will have an impact on the children involved. Further, it is my firm belief that families facing separation should take the time to consider and engage in counselling, both individually and as a family. Appropriate and confidential counselling can be accessed via contact with a GP for referral. Further information and support can also be found via https://www.familyrelationships.gov.au/ or https://www.relationships.org.au/.

Our annual Boarder Mothers’ Luncheon is fast approaching. You should have by now received (by email) an invitation to attend. This event will be held in the TGS Pavilion on Friday, 31 August. It is a great opportunity in an informal atmosphere to get to know mothers from your House and others. Please don’t feel uncomfortable that you won’t know anyone, as your House Rep will be there to make introductions. We recommend that you make the effort to attend, as it is an ideal occasion to meet other families and feel more a part of the school community. Could you please reply by 27 August for catering purposes.

I would like to mention that our Annual General Meeting will be held on the last day of this term Thursday, 20 September at 9:00am. Please Note the New Time. Several of our Boarder Parents’ Support Group positions will become vacant next year including President, Secretary and House Representatives for Taylor, Mackintosh and Corfe. These are quite easy positions and it is very rewarding to learn more and feel more connected to your son’s school. If you are interested in any of these roles, please contact me on 0417762159 or at [email protected]

Our last social function for 2018 will be our Boarder Parents’ Appreciation Function on Monday, 8 October, the evening the boys return to school for Term 4. Towards the end of Term 3 you will receive an invitation to this evening and I hope that you will mark it on your calendar as something to attend. It is a special evening and provides a great opportunity to show your appreciation to any day families or school staff who have helped transport your son, taken him on leave or supported him or your family in any way. Day families can play such a vital role in making our sons’ time as a boarder, and our time as parents of a boarder, so much easier and I think it is wonderful that we get the opportunity to express our gratitude to them for this.
