Daryl Hanly College Principal

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It is during weeks like this, that one appreciates the amount of energy that exists within and across this great college.

We commenced with a celebration of NAIDOC Week. With the presence of so many significant elders from across the country and with so many experiences for all of our students, ranging from art, dance and music to food and storytelling, we opened the week with a flag raising ceremony. The flags of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples symbolically bracket the Australian flag, emphasising the richness inherent in the sharing of cultures, particularly the ancient ones. Our students are indeed lucky to experience this sharing.

We also celebrate the success of Jamie Dimitroff and his friend Tony Panetta, both members of our successful Open Football Team. And both selected to join the Qantas Young Joey’s. These 20 selected players have travelled to Myanmar, and, if still fit, will also be members of a squad traveling to Hong Kong in September for the FIFA U17 World Cup qualifying rounds representing Australia. We congratulate these boys and wish them all the best.

This week DimensionsNC, which celebrates via visual arts, and is supported by the performing art, commences with a gala opening on Friday evening. For the remainder of the weekend, the exhibition is open to the public for viewing, and purchasing. A highlight of this activity is always the outstanding student art. We then move through the weekend with the exhibition available for public viewing and purchase of artworks during that time.

Friday night and Saturday see the continuation of winter sports activities. We are indeed fortunate to have so many NCOBA reunions on this weekend. We are looking forward to hosting the St Joseph’s Gregory Terrace community for basketball on Friday evening and Saturday, chess on Friday evening as well and the rugby during Saturday.

During Saturday, we also welcome our grandparents of current students. This grandparents’ morning tea is a wonderful occasion with our young gentleman proudly showing their grandparents facilities and sharing in the spirit of the place.

During the past week we have met in excess of 1000 parents who have attended our subject selection evenings. We are delighted that there is so much parental involvement and engagement in our Students’ educational journeys. Successful outcomes will be achieved if parents, students and teachers work together. We are certainly striving to enhance our outcomes through this process.

On Saturday evening, our boarder parents gather for the Boarders’ Bash – a time for reconnecting and forming community. The amount of positive feedback we have received in the past week in relation to behaviour of boys in public is quite edifying.

Congratulations to Mr Jamie Pybus and his wife Sarah on the birth of their first child, son Alfie Hunter Pybus, born on Monday 19 August, weighing 7lb 10oz. Mum, Dad and baby are doing well.

On behalf of the College, I would like to welcome Ms Julie Bakes, who joins our Identity Team as the Administration Assistant. Julie has previously worked at the Archdiocesan Faith & Life Vicariate (Administrative Support Officer), at the Institute of Faith Education (Administrative Support Officer - Student Services) and at St Luke’s Catholic Parish Primary School (Library School Officer). Julie is currently enrolled in a Certificate IV in Christian Ministry & Theology and she holds a Certificate III in Theology and a Certificate IV in Library & Information Services.

We hope that Julie enjoys her time at the College.

This week, we farewell Ms Trina Sullivan, who is taking 12 months leave from the College to pursue work interests in Europe. Trina has served the College very well over the last 11 years, with 8 ½ years as PA to the Deputy Principal. Trina has made a significant impact within the organisation, assisting with countless staffing and building processes as well as assisting support groups. Smart Teachers Australia and M3 Architecture have appreciated her efficient organisation of meetings, documents and the transfer of pertinent information. I have very much appreciated her loyalty, work ethic and assistance in meeting deadlines and completing projects. Trina has always been willing to be flexible with her work hours to ensure tasks were completed. We wish Trina all the best with this exciting new adventure.

Those who are ill at this time:

“We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home.“ Aboriginal Proverb

This week Nudgee College has been celebrating all things Indigenous with our first official NAIDOC Week. Students through their classes, assemblies, gatherings, food tastings, barbeques, movies, football matches, painting sessions and dance lessons have been given the opportunity to appreciate Aboriginal culture and spirituality. As part of the new ACARA Curriculum, all teaching material must have an emphasis on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures. The three ACARA Cross Curriculum Priorities challenge all teachers to infuse their teaching material with providing students with a variety of opportunities to deepen their knowledge of Australia by engaging with the world’s oldest continuous living cultures. The hope is that all students will come to appreciate this diverse, strong, resilient, rich and diverse culture and use their knowledge to build a better world for all.

ARARA: http://www.acara.edu.au/curriculum/cross_curriculum_priorities.html

Nudgee College students have had the privilege this week to listen to Aunty Miriam Rose. Miriam lives in the Daley River country in northern Australia and is a world renowned artist. Perhaps her most famous artwork are the Aboriginal Stations of the Cross, which she shared with many of the classes this week. She is also famous for her articles on Dadirri – Dadirri is being a part of nature, of this universe, of being in rhythm with the seasons, of knowing what is happening and what has to be done, of being connected with family and friends, ….. Dadirri is finding a sense of rebirth and renewal in nature … Dadirri is lightening of the heart after feeling heavy. Miriam led many of the classes in meditation using Dadirri and reflections on Jesus being the living water. All Year 9 students listened to Miriam discuss aboriginal rituals with a focus on food rituals as part of their requirements for their RE this term. Staff were also given the opportunity to spend time with Miriam Rose in an afternoon PD session.

Many thanks to Ms Yvonne O’Neill who organised the many guest speakers, activities, food tastings and painting sessions for our students to have the opportunity to appreciate and learn from the Aboriginal culture

DAVID JOHNSTON DEAN OF

LEARNING AND TEACHING

The Championship Quarter

Over the past few weeks there have been several speakers on assembly talking about the “championship quarter” and how important third term is for ensuring academic success at the end of the year. There have been several parents who have listened to this warning and have then spoken to me about their frustrations with their son either not studying or not knowing how to study. As we reach the midpoint of the term, I thought it might be appropriate to provide five easy steps that will assist your son to develop a good study routine.

1. Keep a “to do” list and calendar - Write down the things you need to do, and the deadlines. Keep a daily, weekly and monthly calendar of assignments. Check off items as they’re completed.

2. Establish a routine and study when you’re at your best.

3. Break big jobs into little jobs - Break down big jobs into smaller tasks that are more manageable, to lessen the chances of feeling overwhelmed. Accomplish one task before moving on to the next.

4. Have everything you need on hand to get the job done - Make sure you have all the materials you will need before you begin the task. Keep a homework kit with the things you use most often to complete your assignments: paper, pencils, pens, markers, calculator, etc.

5. Eliminate distractions, Focus - Arrange a time and work space to keep interruptions at a minimum, and take breaks when you need them.

Subject Selections

Years 8, 9 and 10 have now completed their respective subject selection evenings and are now involved in the process of selecting subjects for 2014. This is an important process, and becomes increasingly so as students move into the senior phase of learning. Students at Nudgee College have a broad range of subject choices and they need to make sure they pick subjects that will help keep their options open so that they can work towards areas they are interested in post-secondary education.

Here are a few pointers when making subject choices:

�� Choose subjects that deliver a long-term benefit and keep options open.�� Check out different trades and university courses and their prerequisites if this is

an area of interest.�� Got a career in mind already? Speak to a Careers Counsellor or consider doing

some work experience to find out what is required to succeed. I think it is important to remember we are preparing students for…

“Jobs that do not yet exist, to use technologies that have not yet been invented, and to solve problems that we don’t even know are problems yet” (Linda Darling-Hammond 2008), and

Students need “adaptive competence i.e. the ability to apply meaningfully learned knowledge and skills flexibly and creativity in a variety of contexts and situations” (Erik de Corte 2010)

We live in very exciting, dynamic times. Change is rapid. The onus is on us to think in terms of skill sets, not just jobs. It’s okay if your son doesn’t know what career he wants to follow. Encourage him to keep his options open. Learning is a lifelong activity!

Maths Homework Help Sessions are on every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon for the rest of the term. They are held in the Library from 3:00pm - 4:15pm.

All year levels welcome.

Louise Nardi Head of Maths (10-12)

KEN MITCHELL DIRECTOR OF BOARDING

ABSA Conference

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to be a part of the Boarding School Leaders Symposium held in Perth. The main topic for the presentations was Risk Management. It was interesting to see where other Boarding Schools are up to with such things, particularly leave application processes. I felt very comfortable in the fact that Nudgee College is in front as far as having better systems in place. Having the opportunity to share practices and stories is also a major part of these conferences, and I could hear that all boarding schools, no matter where they are, face the same types of issues. Having said that, I came away with a list of things I can do to continue to improve the way we deliver boarding services here at Nudgee College.

Boarder Parents Bash

Just a reminder that after the Gregory Terrace game this weekend, we will celebrate the Boarders Bash at the MacKillop Building straight after the game. Please check for further details in the column. Hope to see as many of you there as possible.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

NAIDOC and Book Week

It has been a big week in the Junior School this week with both NAIDOC and Book Week being celebrated. On Monday students from Years 5-6 joined many Elders and distinguished guests for the Flag raising ceremony to launch NAIDOC Week here at the College. Throughout the week each year level and class have had the opportunity to participate in workshops on traditional dance and Aboriginal games. We are extremely fortunate as a community to have access to Aboriginal Elders such as Miriam Rose to make our students aware of the Aboriginal Culture. Our annual Book Week Costume Parade generated much hype and excitement. The boys came in a myriad of costumes from such a wide variety of book characters. Congratulations to the following boys:

Year 5 Best Home-made Costumer : Thomas Raymond Best Purchased Costume : Aidan Thompson

Year 6 Best Home-made Costumer : Pierce Bambry Best Purchased Costume : Leyton Friedrich Thank you to Ms Josephine Hallmond and Ms Margaret O’Reilly for organising so many enjoyable events throughout the week.

Ninja Day

During Week 4 of Term Three, Year 6 students participated in Ninja Day. This was a culmination of the Giving Directions unit they studied in Term 2, during which they practiced Ninja Training Techniques and learned how to give each other instructions in Japanese. In preparation for the event, the boys all made their own origami shuriken (ninja stars) and hachimaki (traditional headbands). The boys in each class were divided into two teams, and each team came up with a two-character team name, which they wrote in Japanese on their headbands. On the day of the event, the boys assembled on Wilkes Oval and competed against each other in a series of challenges, combining speed, strength and accuracy. The challenges included target practice, ninja duels, distance throwing and a ninja-ised version of Capture the Flag. A great time was had by all, and the boys were able to combine building teamwork skills with learning Japanese language and culture.

A great study tool at your son’s disposal for Japanese is Language Perfect. It is a learning program that can be downloaded for free to your iPad or you can access on line via a desk top. The log in is SJNC First name, Last name and the password is their first name. An example is Login: SJNCRhondaNeill Password: Rhonda. Be sure to leave no spaces and have the capitals for your names. It is a great way to revise for exams and to become more proficient in Japanese. To receive the most benefit with your study time, go to your year level and select Term 3. That way it will cover the most recently studied vocabulary.

Basketball

Nudgee College basketball travelled away to BSHS last Saturday. The 10A’s and the 10B’s were victorious on the day, as were the Firsts. The 8A’s and the 9A’s were defeated by teams made up of mostly representative players but the boys all put up a good fight and met the challenge with an abundance of blue and white spirit. The 11A’s played a fast and aggressive game and there was only 1 point in it all the way. On the final buzzer the score was tied and the audience agreed that it was the most exciting game they had seen for a long time. Team of the week goes to the 10A’s who defeated their opponents by 20 points - this time last year that same BSHS team beat Nudgee by 20 points; clearly, these players have come a long way in a year. Players of the week are Chris Jenkins, Matt Holmes, Tom Scherf, Tom Grech, Lachie Drahm and Sean Berberino. Each of these young men stepped up to play a second game for Nudgee College and had a great time tearing up the court. Chris Jenkins shot a 3 pointer on the buzzer and set up an alley-hoop for Matt Holmes. Tom Scherf and Tom Grech showed good hustle, Sean Berberino shot up a storm, and Lachie Drahm was deadly on offence. A most entertaining game of basketball. Thanks to all the supporters who came along to cheer on the day. Don’t forget - Nudgee College is playing Terrace at home this Friday night. There will be a BBQ and an electric atmosphere. Hope to see you there!

Corinna Hellmrich Head of Basketball Chess

Following their great success at TSS last week, Nudgee College’s Junior Chess team is continuing strong defeating the previously undefeated BSHS Junior team. For the second week in a row Ian Trinh and Jeffrey He achieved major upsets by defeating vastly higher rated opponents. Not to be outdone playing in the Senior team Jack Colley also defeated an opponent rated 150 points higher than himself. The Senior and Open A teams both had very close draws while the First IV and Open B team lost 1-3. Playing on board 1 of the First IV, Andrew Trinh had another decisive win before he had to rush over to BGGS to also represent Nudgee College in debating.

We’d like to give a special mention to John Lean who after only joining the GPS team this year was able to dominate his opponent and came only 3 moves away from Checkmating his opponent when he ran out of time. John played incredibly well and hopefully next time he can play a little faster. Congratulations to the following students who won or drew their games. Andrew Trinh, Jack Colley, Tane Smith, Ian Trinh, Matt Canty, Jeffrey He, Myles Andrews, Seamus O’Leary and Henry Kennedy.

Two teams represented Nudgee College in the Somerville House Primary Schools Chess Tournament on Sunday the 11 August. There were great results all around. Our top team spent the entire tournament on the top boards and finished equal second, just one point behind the first place team. Well done to all the students who finished on the following scores; Jazz Born 5, Henry Kennedy 4.5, Declan Ford 4.5, Jacob Martin 4 and Zacharia Warren 3. Special mention goes to Caleb Giorgas who won every game on the day, finishing on 7/7.

Rugby

Saturday was a huge day for all players and coaches with our teams playing at five different venues. We played games with Brisbane State High School, Brisbane Grammar, The Southport School and Gregory Terrace with all teams competing to the best of their ability. Of the 14 games with BSHS we won 12 and although Nudgee College were very dominant on the scoreboard the games were played in good spirit and to the final whistle. It was pleasing to hear many complimentary comments regarding our boys on and off the field from both BSHS staff and parents.

The 1st XV had a very strong performance on Saturday over BSHS. From the first whistle our team demonstrated great speed and skill playing a very entertaining attacking brand of rugby. Defence was the highlight with the Nudgee players tackling extremely well, keeping the opposition to nil.

Team of the Week

13’s – The 13F’s performed magnificently in defence and fully deserved their victory.A special mention to Henry Tully and Dylan Hildebrand for making excellent line breaks.

14’s – The 14B’s continued on their undefeated way by beating Brisbane State High 68 - 0. Aidan Tong, Brodie Woodward and Frank Auakai all played well. A highlight of the came which really set the tone was the 30 metre maul which lead to a try in the opening minutes.

16’s – The 16E’s travelled to BGS to play their 16D’s on Saturday. It was expected to be a hard game and the first 10 minutes showed this with BGS quickly putting 10 points on the board. We (the coaches) were worried that the game might get away from us but the attitude of the boys picked up and they fought back to make it 10-5 at halftime. The second half saw us score early and with ten minutes to go the score was 10-10, everyone on the sideline was very nervous at this point. Persistence paid off and our boys crossed twice in the last 10 minutes to make the final score 22-10. It was an amazing game to watch and a man of the match could not be chosen because everyone played their best game of the season so far.
