REDUCING THE IMPACT OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION

Reduced sleep has been associated with a range of physical and psychosocial disturbances in both children and adolescents. Symptoms include impaired attention, memory, creativity, learning and academic performance, motor skill deficits, greater incidence of depression and anxiety, increased impulsivity, aggression and hyperactivity and increased potential for alcohol and drug abuse in adulthood.  As an educational leader, I never cease to be amazed upon investigating student under-performance in one area or another that poor sleep health is such a common denominator.

Too little sleep can also disrupt the body’s immune system, appetite regulation and endocrine systems, with shorter sleep duration being associated with increased risk of sickness, metabolic dysfunction and even diabetes.  It is important to recognise that adolescents are at high risk for these consequences.  In fact, after shift workers, they are one of the most sleep deprived groups in our community because there are specific sleep problems that are associated with adolescents.

Pubertal specific physiological changes to the sleep-wake system delay the release of natural sleep promoting hormone melatonin, with a subsequent delay in the onset of sleepiness.  This results in adolescents going to sleep later.  Later bedtimes are exaggerated by academic workload, peer and social activities, sport, part-time work and the evening use of technology in the bedroom.  Given that they must still get up for school, the result is a reduction of total sleep time.  As a consequence, adolescents who should be getting nine hours sleep per night, are typically getting between seven and eight hours, and so accrue a ‘sleep debt’.  This debt has significant and consequential effects on the development and wellbeing of adolescents at a time when they are expected to perform at their best.

The negative effects of sleep debt on academic functioning and general well-being in adolescents have been extensively researched by Dr Mary Carskadon at the Brown University, in the USA, and have been reiterated in many other countries, including Australia.  The effects of poor sleep on adolescents cannot be underestimated.  Here at St Andrews, we are regularly reminding students about the critical value of sleep on all areas of life and performance.  We know, as parents, that it is a conversation you would also be having at home.  Together, we must persist.

Peace and Grace

Commencing the new school year means revisiting the beginning of God’s Story in the worship life of our school. In the Beginning God made the heavens and the earth, is the first line of the Bible. Up until approximately 100 years ago this was viewed as religious myth by the scientific community, but Edwin Hubble and subsequent other Scientists have found that there could well be much more truth in this statement than once thought. The prevailing scientific view ‘back in the day’ was that the universe had no beginning – it had always ‘existed’ so therefore how could God possibly have made it. But today it is accepted by the scientific community that the universe is expanding and it had a beginning 13.7 Billion years ago from a singularity. On the surface that does not seem to be a problem for Science except when we delve into the question of where did the singularity come from? It could not have just ‘appeared’ from nothing. Logic says it needed to have come from somewhere or been made by something… but where from or who/what made it? It is at this point that the Bible provides an answer. God is responsible for the creation of the universe. Before the existence of time and space there was God – existing outside of the created universe.

This point of view provides room for Science and the Christian Faith to sit side by side – neither has to ‘give way’ to the other. Both hold to the point of view that at one point there was nothing and then there was something. Science is unable to say where the singularity came from – Christianity claims it has its origins in the God of the Bible. 

Living within the worldview that all of creation has God as its creator brings a great depth of meaning and purpose to life. It reassures us that we are not here in 2021 as a random act of chance…. but instead, each of us belongs to God, made in His image and entrusted with the task of being caretakers of the beautiful planet we inhabit. This is merely the starting point of God’s Story. There is so much more contained within the narratives that follow the first chapters of Genesis and it is a journey we will navigate again through 2021. Keep an eye out for snippets of where we are up to on our College welcome sign and be sure to ask your children how it is that God’s Story encourages us in the day to day adventure of Our Story.

A HIVE OF ACTIVITY  

This week, as I walked through the campus in the mornings I was in awe of the amount of activity taking place around the school. From 40+ Netball players, a packed gym, an oval full of Andrians training for Touch and Futsal, to a committed bunch of 2021 Kokoda Challenge participants pacing up the hills. Removed from sport, I heard a band rehearsing, saw a choir singing, dancers rehearsing and I also got to enjoy a latte from the new hospitality students’ café up near the COLA. 

Classes were also a hive of activity, engagement and learning; from graphing in spreadsheets, to simplification in Mathematics, techniques in film making, how to identify the parts of a muscle cell, a tectonic plate in the Earth, speech writing, how to work with others and to how the Gold Rush of 1850 changed the face of Australia. Term One is well and truly underway and it is an absolute privilege to work alongside students as they grow in their knowledge and understanding of everything!

CONNECTING 

Thank you to all of our families who recently joined us online for the Year 12 interviews, and our Senior School and Middle School Parent Information Nights. It was also fantastic to meet face to face, on campus, with our Year 7 parents. These evenings, are so valuable in partnering with our families to best support our young people through their educational journey. We are hopeful that this year, we are able to host a range of Partnerships for Learning events, so that we can continue to connect over topics and strategies that will help our young people to thrive. 

CONGRATULATIONS

Again, congratulations to those students who received academic achievement, academic endeavour and academic improvement awards at the recent Senior School and Middle Schools awards assemblies. I encourage all students to continue to strive for your personal best this semester, so you can be proud of your efforts, perseverance and results.

On a sporting note, congratulations to Year 12 student, Emily M for her outstanding golf success over the past few months. Her recent achievements include; 

• Greg Norman Junior Masters at Palmer Gold Coast - 9^th Overall
• South Australian Junior Masters at Royal Adelaide Golf Club – Runner Up
• Tasmanian Amateur Championship at The Tasmanian Golf Club – 4^th overall
• Tasmanian Junior Masters at Royal Hobart Golf Club – 6^th overall
• Victorian Junior Masters at The National Golf Club – Runner Up

It is likely these results place Emily in the Top 5 Junior Girls Nationally.  We look forward to hearing where Emily’s golf will take her over the next few years.  

ASSESSMENT FEEDBACK AND RESULTS 

A reminder to parents that they can access their child(ren)’s academic results via Parent Lounge. Over the next three weeks, results and written feedback will begin to appear in this space. To follow are some easy steps to access your child’s assessment results.

ACCESSING YOUR CHILD’S RESULTS THROUGH PARENT LOUNGE 

Step 1 – Log into Parent Lounge through the website www.salc.qld.edu.au  portals, Parent Lounge and enter your username and password. 

Step 2 - Select Curricular Activities Due (left-hand side under the title Parent Lounge) then click View All Activities button (right-hand side at top in light blue). 

Step 3 – Click on an activity (in the Activity Name Column) that says “Assessed” (in the Activity Status Column). 

Step 4 – Results will show for that particular subject and assessment activity giving activity details, outline and assessment results. Please note, results will only show for subjects that say assessed in the Activity Status Column.

While there may not be results posted for all subjects given it is still early in the year, it is always a good idea to revisit the assessment calendar with your son/daughter. If you need help please ask your children to show you and to share with you their class OneNote. If you need help beyond that please contact your child’s learning advisor. 

This year we will continue to focus on Growing Within and Serving Beyond, and if your child is yet to become involved in any co-curricular activities, please encourage them to spread their wings and try something new. Growth and the quest for our personal best in all endeavours is what makes a St Andrews education so rich and diverse. It is our hope that our students develop their gifts and share them with an open heart, active mind and helping hands.  

In His Service,

Adele Ramsay Deputy Principal Head of Secondary School

FEEL GOOD FEBRUARY

As we enter the middle of the term (time flies when you are having fun) all of our Senior School students need to be mindful of their wellbeing, balancing academics, social life and downtime. Getting organised and using the time management tools being modelled in Learning Advisor time is essential to managing an increasing workload. I know that the Year 11’s received a term planner to chart all of their assessments – a visual representation that can be put on the fridge or study wall is a great idea.

One way to ensure that our wellbeing is first and foremost is practicing little acts of kindness and good deeds as we march through ‘Feel Good Feb’. Kindness is the new cool and research tells us that giving to others not only benefits the receiver but also the happiness of the giver – a win-win situation. So next time there is an opportunity our Senior School students have been encouraged to perform a random act of kindness (RAK). We can turn someone’s day around just by a smile or good deed. Therefore, in Assembly this week our Years 10, 11 and 12 students have been encouraged to connect. Some tips for good deeds include:

Also, in LAG and Assembly this week our students will be talking about the benefits of perseverance, thinking traps and character strengths. The idea of persisting with long term goals, how to get outside of our own thinking that may be damaging and finding our strengths and using them to do our personal bests. Parents can also get involved and complete their Character Strengths survey using either of the following links.

A FOCUS ON YEAR 10:

Each year our Year 10 students are asked to complete a short reflection which I collect and use to help me get to know our newest members of the Senior School. They get this back upon graduation in Year 12. I was overjoyed and proud to read the response of one of our Year 10s which I would love to share and I think you would agree that with an attitude and goal like this our world is in safe hands:

“I hope to build a charity to help younger kids in unwealthy (sic) and unsafe countries and help support them to build a bright future (help with education, housing and health services).” 

This week began the round of small group meetings with the Year 10s and myself, also known as our Freddo Frog catch up. It is lovely for me to put names to faces and share their joys of life in the Senior School, their frustrations or concerns and thoughts on what being an Andrian means to them. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

• All Senior School students who attended the Inter-house Swimming Carnival and particularly the winning house Jubi. Of particular note, the leadership from the Year 12’s and their fine example of participation and enthusiasm. 
• Our Year 10 students for the fabulous start they have made to life in the Senior School. I have just begun my Freddo Frog catch ups with our newest senior school students and it is a joy to get to know them a little better. 
• Our Year 11’s who have risen to the increased expectations and settled nicely into a busy academic schedule. They hit their busiest times in Week 7 and 8 and in the coming weeks need to be attending tutorials, seeking teacher feedback, coming to the after-school study session and hitting the books for about 90 minutes each evening.
• Brooke S, Thalia S and Katie S who accompanied me last Friday night to volunteer at Rosies (providing food for those experiencing homelessness). What a team!

If you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me on tanias@salc.qld.edu.au

Tania Stewart
Head of Senior School

It is hard to believe that we are nearly at the halfway mark of Term 1, 2021. Hopefully, your children have settled in well to the new year, both academically and socially.

During the week all Middle School year levels held their Parent Information Nights. This is a vital part of the beginning of each year. These nights set the scene for important milestones that occur in specific year levels. A link to the powerpoints will be emailed to families.

Students will be gearing up now to start assessment pieces. It is important that adults assist their children to get organised. A lot of adolescents do struggle with executive functioning skills, like time management and organisation. We suggest accessing Parent Lounge and recording when assessments are due. Below are screen shots of Parent Lounge to assist you in finding these items. We also use Parent Lounge to inform you of how your children went in these assessments. Progressive reporting allows parents timely insights into how your child is going in their subjects. If you have any concerns, please email the class teacher directly.

Finally, we have an enthusiastic group of Year 9 tutors waiting to assist other Middle School students with their learning. These students are available from 7:45am to 8:25am every Wednesday morning in Upper E Block. Below are just some of the lovely student academic leaders wanting to assist.

Feel free to contact me at any time if you would like to discuss your child’s needs.

Head of Middle School

SPEED DATE WITH A BOOK

Year 7 English classes enjoyed ‘Speed dating with a book’ with the Teacher Librarian, Mrs Kristo. Students are encouraged to explore different genres outside of their usual reading habits and to borrow books for personal reading. Research has shown that free voluntary reading leads to academic success and improved literacy skills. Read more from world leading scholar on reading, second-language acquisition and bilingual education Steven Krashen here who writes how “Fiction is not only a good source of academic vocabulary, it is also an important source of academic knowledge”. Students also have access to eBooks using their student email to borrow books on the Wheelers online platform.

FUN ACTIVITIES 

Students have been relaxing in the CRC Library during their breaks, and before and after school. Some enjoy using the 3D Lego wall, play board/card games or chess or the quiet reading room. On average mornings see over 60 students enjoying the CRC Library space, while lunch sessions are even busier.

Student voice and engagement is a focus in the Senior Library! Students can join up to a number of student-led clubs which are held in the Senior Library either during lunch or after school. These include the Cultural club, LEO club, Creative Writing club and coming soon - Dungeons and Dragons club. Students have also volunteered as library helpers to assist with displays. Ask at the CRC front desk for more information on these clubs and activities!

At the end of the last school year, students collaborated on painting a wall mural which is always remarked upon when entering the Senior Library. This is the new Top Picks display where students can place books they have enjoyed and can recommend for reading and borrowing. 

ESPORTS 2021

Congratulations to the Esports team for Just Dance 2021! Trials have been conducted and the following students have been selected: Holly P, Seren C, Naveyah W, and Madalyn D. They will be participating in the upcoming interschools Esports competition.

Last Thursday Scarlett T and Emily L spent the day with Yasmin Grigaliunas, Founder of World’s Biggest Garage Sale and her team.  Scarlett and Emily were participants in the IC’20 (Innovate and Create) Program and their pitch at the end of the program was around the idea of repurposing clothing that would end up in landfill.   

World’s Biggest Garage Sale are tackling the issue of waste through landfill diversion by activating dormant goods for good with circular economy and resource recovery practices. Their efforts promote sustainability and responsible consumerism, and provide employment opportunities for vulnerable members of our community.

Scarlett and Emily helped build flat pack desks that had been delivered by Office Works because they were in "damaged boxes", so were unsuitable for sale to their customers.  Scarlett and Emily found it amazing, that if it wasn't given to the World's Biggest Garage that the desks would end up in land fill.

Yasmin shared with our students the challenges "that occur on a daily basis" for a start-up, the story of how "The World's Biggest Garage Sale" came about and 'inside visions' on where they are intending to take the business in the near future.  

Emily and Scarlett heard how Yasmin has had to pivot their business model during COVID and that they are now looking to raise capital to advance the business to the next level.  Yasmin also spoke to the girls about building a team, to keep any business idea authentic to their values and to be passionate about what they do.

What a wonderful opportunity for the students to explore entrepreneurship.  All students are encouraged to apply to be part of the IC’21 program starting in July, 2021.

Chloe, WBGS’s Marketing Consultant has offered that any St Andrews family wanting to purchase products would receive a 20% discount if they mention the College name.

THE LION KING JR

As a Junior School we are presenting The Lion King Jr this year. We have some amazing puppets and costumes and it should be a truly wonderful performance. We are in the middle of casting for this show and some of the singing, dancing and performing is at an extremely high level. 

While we would love to give everyone a part in the show, it is impossible to do so based on the number of people who applied. It is OK for children to feel disappointed that they didn’t get a part. As part of our work to develop growth mindsets, we would encourage them to keep working on their passions and there might be other opportunities for them be involved later. 

PARENT INFORMATION NIGHTS

This year we recorded the information and sent out a link which you would have received earlier in the week. We hope the information was useful and parents were able to avoid the problem of having to be at two sessions at once. At the bottom of the presentations is a link to a survey to provide feedback on your preference for online information sessions or face to face delivery. 

ASSEMBLY AND CHAPEL

Last year we were forced to hold Assemblies and Chapels online. The feedback from the staff and students said that they loved having them online and gathering together in class groups to worship together and celebrate awards together. We also missed gathering together as a whole group. This year we have decided to do a combination of both. Some will be held online, and some will be held as a large group. We also found that we had a little more time for teaching and learning because of the time saved walking students to and from the venues. 

MUFTI DAY

The Mufti Day will be held on Wednesday 10 March. Students are welcome to wear free dress on this day and make a gold coin donation which will go to Rosies.  Rosies provides outreach services to people in need on the Gold Coast.

 PICNIC IN THE PARK

The annual picnic in the park is going to be held on 26 March on the Junior School Oval. We look forward to this wonderful event to build community. I am always up for a sausage, which are hot off the BBQ and cooked by our wonderful Parents and Friends.

Deputy Principal Head of Junior School

As the academic year begins, students and teachers have been engaged in setting up classroom routines, organising learning areas and establishing classroom essential agreements for the year ahead. With these things in place, all classes are now diving into their first unit of inquiry. Kath Murdoch (2015), an educational expert defines inquiry as ‘Learning how to take on a question, or an issue, or a tension, a problem or a challenge and learning how to work through a process where, through that investigation, you come to a deeper understanding, or a mastery of skills, or a resolution of the problem.’

Teachers often use what is called a provocation to enable the opportunity for their students to develop an interest in the concepts they will be exploring but more importantly, to allow students to see themselves as practitioners in the academic discipline which helps to construct their understandings. Provocations often spark confusion, a reaction or a desire to find out more.

This week I was one of a number of ‘invited’ guests to visit the Prep rooms and share an emotion I was experiencing for a provocation. The Prep students have embarked on their first unit of inquiry ‘How We Express Ourselves.’ Their central idea is ‘People express their thoughts, feelings and ideas in many different ways.’ I entered their room with a sad demeanour and gave a situation of how I was feeling ‘lonely’. The students were eager to relate to their experiences of when they had felt lonely (especially due to the circumstances of Coronavirus) and they articulated numerous suggestions to help me feel better. I was blown away with their many caring suggestions…one student even gave me the class comforter ‘Rolly’ to cuddle to change the emotion I was feeling. I certainly left the Prep rooms feeling as though my heart was warmed from their responses. What a caring Prep cohort!

During the lead up to our students commencing the new academic year, our teaching staff engaged in a two-day professional workshop – Human Centred Design. This workshop was facilitated by Bronwyn Olsson, a highly regarded expert in this field. The staff explored Human-Centred Design, a pedagogy that leading innovative organisations use every day to solve real-world challenges. It is an approach to problem solving that places people who we are designing for in the centre of the process. It was a hands-on, experiential workshop and we were provided with numerous opportunities to embrace being a designer, to explore, empathise, grapple and create. One key take-away was that this process begins with first empathising with the people we are designing for. We used a thinking tool ‘I used to think…now I think’ which summarised some of the learning the teachers gained from the workshop. Below are some of their reflections:

• I used to think design didn’t include/require empathy. I now see that it’s imperative to innovation.
• I used to think that once you had defined the problem, you found the solution. I now think that the first problem needs to be questioned again and re-looked at.
• I used to think it was hard to change my initial idea, but now I think I can change it and develop more.
• I used to think that there was no need to write down all ideas – such as laughable ideas. Now I think all ideas should be written down..
• I used to think we, as teachers, told the students the problem to solve. Now I think we need to explore a real-life problem with students and let them go through the HCD process. 

The teachers thoroughly enjoyed this learning experience and they are now considering how to implement Human Centred Design alongside our Design Thinking Process within the units of inquiry.

We are blessed to have such enthusiastic learners in the Junior School (both students and teachers) who are keen to work through a process to make new connections and understandings in their learning.

Do not forget to do good and to share with others. Hebrews 13:16 (New Living Translation)

WELCOME NEW PAT STAFF 

We are delighted to welcome to our PAT Team, Jo Byrnes and Katherine Hopkins. 

 Jo Byrnes - PAT Piano

I grew up on the Gold Coast and have been a teacher for nearly 35 years. From running my own Music schools, raising 3 musical boys, to working as a Music Teacher Aide, Music has been a big part of my life.  Teaching is my passion and I am excited to introduce you to one of the world’s leading Music programs called Simply Music which is the global pioneer in playing-based Music education. The underlying philosophy is that every human being is profoundly musical. Simply Music Piano is designed to maximize the likelihood of students acquiring and retaining music as a lifelong companion and experience playing as a natural self-expression.

Katherine Hopkins – PAT Cello and Year 3 String Ensemble

I started playing the Cello at 8 years of age and quickly moved through the levels gaining my L.Mus.A diploma at age 14.  At 17 I moved to London to study Music at the Royal Academy of Music and then at the Royal College of Music.  In London I was a freelance Musician teaching and playing with the London Symphony Orchestra.

In 2000 I moved back to Australia and have enjoyed a varied Music career as a teacher and performer.  I have played for the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra among others. At present I teach Cello at All Saints Anglican School as well as running a busy private teaching studio from my home.

We were very fortunate to have had beautiful weather for our Year 7-12 Swimming Carnival held at the Palm Beach Aquatic Centre. Not only was the standard of swimming outstanding but the House Spirit and participation was at an all-time high. Once again it was a battle right to the end, however Jubi House proved too strong taking out the Champion Swimming House for 2021.   

Congratulations to all students who got involved, but special mention must go to the Age Champions who demonstrated speed, skill and raw talent.

FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB TOUCH

This year we have a record number of students playing in the Friday Night Club Touch competition organised by Palm Beach Touch. We have 12 teams in total ranging from the Under 8’s right through to the Under 14’s both boys and girls. This number totals to 115 students playing in this local competition as well as other students in Prep-Year 1 engaged in Touch for Tots. It was so pleasing to see our senior Year 10-12 students engaged in coaching or refereeing these teams. This certainly was a great start to the season where fitness health and community were celebrated.
