EVERYDAY PUZZLES WITH SURPRISING ANSWERS

Have you ever wondered why some cars have fuel fillers on the left, and others on the right? Why women button their clothes from the left, and men from the right? Or why CD cases are smaller than DVD cases when the discs are the same size? 

We encounter puzzles like these every day. They're not life-threatening but they don't seem to make sense, not at first, anyway. The explanations are sometimes surprising but many of them make economic common sense.

Why are brown eggs sometimes more expensive than white ones? Because the hens that lay them are bigger and tend to eat more. 

Most business decisions are determined by the cost-benefit principle. This means you do something only if the benefit you gain is greater than the cost you have to pay. This principle even affects how things are designed.  Look at your mobile phone and see the number of functions built in to that! How many do you actually use?

Why is there a difference in size between the packaging of identically sized CDs and DVDs? This dates back to the 1980s, when retailers were replacing vinyl LP records with CDs, and realised that there could be enough space in each old LP rack for two rows of CDs. When DVDs came out in the 1990s, they were displayed alongside videocassettes, whose cases were higher, so DVD packaging was made to the same height.

Why are buttons on the right for men, and the left for women, especially when for the 90% of the population who are right-handed it's much easier to do up buttons from the right? The reason is that when buttons were introduced in the 17th century, only rich people could afford them. Rich men dressed themselves and they did so from the right. But wealthy women were dressed by servants, who found it easier to button them up from the left because they themselves were right-handed. The custom continues today because there has been little incentive for the fashion industry to change it. 

Why do portraits appear in profile on coins and full face on notes? Because the print quality on notes is higher than on coins, and the intricacy of a full portrait may put off counterfeiters, who are more likely to fake high value notes, than low value coins.

And why do some cars have fuel fillers on the left and others on the right? Because petrol station pumps work from both sides, and if every car had a filler on the same side, motorists would have to queue for twice as long.

You will be able to think of other examples of designs that seem puzzling. But they will probably make sense economically. 

Puzzles usually have answers and it is our curiosity to find out the reasons why things are the way they are that is the true excitement of learning. 

This is a long-winded preamble to draw several reflections, all related to sound educational practice and life at St Andrews:

  • It is fun to consider, hypothesise and perhaps solve some of life’s simple puzzles;
  • It is good to question and to respectfully observe and consider the views of others;
  • Learning is a lot about discovery and story-telling; 
  • To solve IT hassles, ask your average passing 14 year old (yes, I know it’s not related, but whilst I’m musing ....).

I hope this may prove the catalyst for some dining table discussion.

Until next time.

RUNNING A MARATHON 

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.

– Hebrews 12:1-2a

In the passage above, the author compares the Christian life to that of an endurance race. There is a wonderful turn of phrase that is used: “let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” In other words, we don’t get to choose the race that we have to run – it has been predetermined or allowed in God’s wisdom, even if it doesn’t make sense or the road seems long, winding, challenging or difficult.

This year we have all been hit with a road that we didn’t foresee – Covid-19. It has affected us all in different ways, but its effects have been far-reaching and extensive. Like a marathon race, I’m sure there have been many times that you have wanted to give up, slow down or take a detour to a better place or circumstance – but this is not the road that has been set before us. We have been given the hard road of keeping food on the table for our family, attempting the difficult juggle of learning from home and working from home; we’ve adjusted our shopping habits, navigated changes to border crossings, cancelled our holidays and the list goes on. None of these things would be our choice if we could choose.

The point is that we can’t choose the road before us, but we can choose what we do about it. In the verse above, common and yet profound, Christian wisdom, is explained. The only way to get through an endurance race is to fix our eyes on the right things. If we concentrate on the pain we are experiencing or the length of the road ahead (which is still unknown) then we will likely give up before the race is done. However, if we fix our eyes on the one who is trustworthy and true – who will never let us down and is on our side – then we will be filled with good cheer, new strength for the journey and we will have the joy of everyone who completes a marathon, the sweet moment of the finish when you realise that despite all you have been through and all the challenges on the way – it was worth it.

FLOURISHING – FAITH OVER FEAR 

At St Andrews we talk a lot about flourishing: working hard to do and be the best you can be through both good times and life’s struggles. ‘Grow your gifts so that your personal and our collective wellbeing can emanate and light the world.’  We want each of our young people (and older people) to know that they are valued and that they have the potential to shine their light to make the world a better place just by being their best selves. 

Perhaps this year, more than most, this message needs to be shared daily! The wellbeing of our students remains of the utmost importance. These past few weeks have been atypical but abundant in our kids doing just that – doing and being the best they can be! Their optimism and resilience are hope-fuelled. Thank you to our Leos and our College Captains along with our chaplaincy and broader teaching team for spreading positive messages throughout the term. As we walk together I pray we continue to focus on our faith being stronger than their fear, and on the best of humanity. 

The very real social and emotional impacts of the January fires, Covid-19 loss isolation and disruption, racial discrimination, economic uncertainly and a media cycle that focuses on all that is to be feared, calls us to be open with our kids and to balance the fear with counting our blessings. A daily practice that might be helpful to our families is the, ‘Count Your Blessings - Three Good Things’ technique which has been proven in Positive Psychology research to help build wellbeing and a positive mindset. It sets us up to change our mindset from worry to gratitude and is a simple dinner time or car trip home activity. 

I pray that we can continue to see through the veil of what is wrong with our world and focus on the beauty in humanities’ response to need.  Living out both, ‘love thy neighbour’ and 'knowing you, at your best', is what the world needs now more than ever. If you are worried about your child’s wellbeing or your own wellbeing please reach out and contact me at the College and we can arrange some additional support. virginiaw@salc.qld.edu.au

 

CELEBRATING OUR STUDENTS 

The other morning I arrived to a group of rosy-cheeked athletes running past me on the footpath on a chilly 8 degrees Gold Coast morning. During my class visits students were actively engaged in what kids do best – learning with and from one another and alongside their teachers. This afternoon I left listening to the sounds of the brass instruments and vocalists of The Saints. We have much to celebrate. 


FINAL TWO WEEKS OF TERM 

This is a particularly busy time of the semester for students and teachers as learning begins to culminate in a variety of assessments. As we move into the final two weeks of term, I remind parents that teachers are always happy to hear from you. If you have any questions, concerns or sentiments of gratitude to share, I encourage you to send an email or to contact the College. One of the best ways to support your son/daughter is to continue to ensure they get enough sleep, a healthy diet and that they continue to keep a positive mindset towards working hard to achieve their personal bests.

From the Head of Senior School

To say we are living in interesting times would be an absolute understatement. We have gone from a period of lockdown, social distancing, social isolation, to mass protest and in some parts of the world violent protest. This must present a very confusing picture to our young people. I know that I am feeling overwhelmed with the information and graphic nature of some of the images we are seeing and the rhetoric we are hearing. 

With this in mind I spoke to the Senior Students last week, as part of our virtual Senior School Assembly, about judging others, accepting difference and about privilege. After three trips to various parts of Southern Africa and a childhood in North Queensland I was aware of my own privilege – a free primary and secondary education, university (also free – those were the days), a car, part-time job, family support, a stable government, plentiful food, hobbies, sport to name a few. However, in the innocence of youth it was something I took for granted. It took the humanity and generosity of a Tanzanian family, who invited three stray Aussies into their two-room home for Christmas lunch 2004, to really understand my own privilege. It went something like this – while in the middle of the Serengeti three stray Aussies were invited for Christmas lunch. The Dad had brought home the live chicken the day before (walking in the Serengeti with a chicken under his arm) and Mum cooked the meal on the open outdoor fire Christmas morning. The family of four and three guests tucked into a lovely chicken dinner with ugali or nshima (maize meal) for Christmas lunch. How could a family with just the basics in life be willing to share with three Aussies who obviously had enough money to fly to Africa and go on safari? To this day it is one of the highlights of my trip and an experience I will be forever grateful for. We all have a lot to give and now more than ever a focus on kindness, understanding, tolerance and love are good messages for us all to hear. Another highlight – sleeping in a very small tent that somehow ended up between two roaring lions but that is another story.

From the Head of Middle School

Middle School students have settled back into the ‘rhythm’ of school. It has been wonderful to see their, mostly, happy smiling faces around our campus.

This morning all LAG classes were given a message about ‘finishing strong’. I have encouraged them to look at the next 3 weeks in the context of the following themes.

Academic
Time management is key over the next 2 weeks. Most assessments will take place during this time. An assessment calendar was sent to families on 25 May. This is a good resource to place on the fridge and in your child’s study area.

Social
Be kind to all. The next theme was encouraging the Middle School students to look out for others. At the College we value respectful relationships, for all. The students have a community responsibility to ensure that everyone feels valued and welcomed, regardless of whether they are in each other’s ‘friendship group’ or not.

Emotional
The introduction of our weekly ‘Pulse’ survey was explained to the students. It is a quick and easy way for the staff to make sure everyone is feeling connected. 

Pride
Finally, uniform and classroom expectations were touched on.

Jewellery - Only one pair of small earrings can be worn. No charms.

Jumpers - No mix and match.  Sports jackets CANNOT be worn with the Formal Uniform. On very cold mornings, students could wear their formal jumper over their sports jackets for extra warmth.

Secondary School Library News

The CRC- secondary library embraces the core values of the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) with our commitment to respect the diversity, individuality and equality for all and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The library’s current digital and book displays, and book talking, focus on these values of celebrating diversity.

"Galleries, libraries, archives and museums are considered sites of memory, spaces to engage with history and identity, but for me these places are sites of forgetting, erasure and distortion. They are built on stolen land. Their names validate the place names that colonisers used to confirm their occupation of stolen land and to nullify the history that took place before colonial invasion (Sentance, 2018)”. 

In honour of our First Nations Peoples, and National Reconciliation Week, the library team reviewed our practices regarding the stories and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We aim to promote the often-hidden voices of Indigenous communities, by implementing the following:

  • Intentional sourcing of new fiction and nonfiction by Indigenous authors in diverse genres and subjects/topics; 
  • All titles by Indigenous authors will be labelled with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flag on the spine; 
  • Intentional sourcing and cataloguing of websites which offer authentic perspectives from Indigenous communities – such as the Map of the Colonial Frontier Massacres. 

The CRC Secondary Library continues to buzz with many extracurricular events during lunch breaks. Students have joined up to the following Clubs: Minecraft: Craft the Library; Esports and the student directed Reading and Writing Club, the Eco Club and Dungeons and Dragons.

Year 10 STEM

STUDENT REFLECTIONS ON PROJECT BASED LEARNING

This semester, I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the Year 10 STEM class with Dr Naidoo. Having the opportunity to study and pursue my interests was incredibly innovative. After careful research, my interests spiked when observing prosthetic biotechnologies and 3-D Printing for hand replacement. After careful research and planning was conducted in Term 1, the 3-D prosthetic hand was printed and assembled in Term 2 (with assistance from the school’s design and engineering department). Unfortunately, the current Coronavirus pandemic significantly slowed down the manufacturing process. However, by maintaining contact with teachers, the final design’s outcome was successful. The prototype was subjected to several testing procedures, including lifting objects. Completing this STEM task, empowered me as a Lifelong Learner whereby certain specialised careers (for example; a prosthetist) have become viable options for my future career pathway.

​Year 10 German Just Got Enterprising!

Year 10 German Language students have the edge!  Our resourceful students have embarked on an exciting journey this semester – using their German language skills in real life contexts with Australian based German companies.  These language students have been involved in an ‘Enterprise German Project’ with the German Goethe Institute.  

This project promotes the collaboration between schools and German companies or Australian companies with a relationship to German speaking countries (i.e. Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein).  It combines aspects of professional orientation with creativity and inventor spirit.

Led by German teacher Jochen Schaich, the Year 10 German class have learnt a lot about the economic and cultural ties between Australia and Germany.  And they are doing this in the target language, German.  Students are researching German companies in our region, interviewing the German-speaking staff in these companies and will present their results in German class.

With German-Australians being one of the largest ethnic groups in Australia, it is no surprise that our students have opportunities to work with locally based German companies ranging from the King of Cakes to Renewable Energy Solutions.

This project makes our students stand out and opens up opportunities for possible future international careers.  Employers today are looking for global citizens who understand other cultures.  Our Year 10 German language students now understand German business etiquette and nuances.  We look forward to our future Alumni Year 10 German students leading the way at companies such as Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Haribo, Bosch or Adidas.

IC’20 Program for 2020

It is with excitement the College has launched the IC’20 Program for 2020 with the first session due to commence on Friday 24 July. This year the ‘Innovate + Create’ journey has a strong focus on ‘the greater good’. It is an opportunity for young entrepreneurs to be guided by some of the leading business people in our local area who are driven by a passion to make a difference.  

During the 8 weekly workshops, students will continue to be led by our partnership with Bond University. The team will navigate the process of identifying opportunities, being able to analyse and conceptualise the ideation process and then move on to create prototypes and pitch their idea to a panel as the grand finale. 

See 2 more...

We are so excited to continue to develop our connections with Xplor in Melbourne who offered the winners from IC’19 a trip to their headquarters and two days of workshops.

The launch video for the Program is available here and all students from Year 7-12 have received an email with details regarding the video application and the dates of the Program.


We can’t wait to Innovate + Create with this years IC’20 participants.

NAIDOC WEEK

In the last week of Term 2, we will be celebrating our indigenous culture. NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each year to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.


INDEPENDENCE

Our job as parents and educators is to prepare our children to be independent of us. This happens over several years and is done incrementally rather than all at once. In the early stages of school, it is encouraging students to carry their own bag, walking to class by themselves or tying their own shoelaces. In the older classes it might be about setting their own routines for home learning or more time spent with friends. The more that we allow our children to be independent, the more that they rise to the occasion. 

As we return to having students back onsite, the staff have been helping the children out of their cars so traffic keeps moving. Rather than children becoming reliant on others to help them out of the car, we will now have minimal staff to help them in the morning. We are there to help when needed, but where possible we will allow the children to get themselves out of the car and started with their day. 

 

SOCIAL MEDIA

The temptation for parents is to allow their children to have their own social media accounts before the recommended age of 13. While a lot of the motives for joining are innocent enough, there are some practical reasons why students should wait. Up until the age of 13 most children do not have the cognitive ability to deal with the complexity of the content and issues that can appear on their feeds. The College recommends that you do not have these accounts but if you do, please monitor them closely.

Many of us are currently living in the Yellow Zone (used to describe a heightened state of alertness). A person may be experiencing stress, frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, or fear when in the Yellow Zone. The person’s energy is elevated yet he or she feels some sense of internal control in the Yellow Zone) due to COVID-19. Every time we leave our house we are in a heightened state of alertness, our news is always telling us to be safe – ‘stay covid free, do the 3’, even our phones give us messages to #staysafe. This all accounts too many of us living in the yellow zone.


There is nothing wrong with living in the yellow zone for this period of time – it is keeping us safe and healthy – but what it does mean is that it becomes easier to move into the red or blue zone. We often speak with our students that the ideal learning zones are the green and yellow zones – these zones are when we are regulating our emotions to the point that we may feel a little discomfort but in control. The problems arise when we feel overwhelmed and move into either the red zone or blue zone.

Sometimes something little can send us into the red zone because we are already at a heightened sense of alertness – seen any instances of road rage lately or felt it yourself?!? For our children it can be a small altercation with a peer or something not going their way and it appears they are having an over-reaction. Even children that may have been able to regulate during normal circumstances might be showing some of these reactions. It is okay and there are some things we can do to help when this happens. Deep breathing can help our brains to get the right balance back, also focussing on positive things can help us to regulate our thinking.

Sometimes we can jump from the yellow zone to the blue zone and show signs of sadness, feeling sick, tired or down. For some this is the reaction they will show when they feel overwhelmed with worries or situations. All these reactions are perfectly normal and the ability to be able to move between the zones is a skill we can all learn. It can be a concern if the blue zone goes on for some time as this stops our brains from learning.

Some ideas to help your child (or yourself) to have the tools to deal with these overwhelming emotions can include:

  • Healthy eating; 
  • Good sleeping habits;
  • Being grateful – start a family gratitude journal;
  • Finding the good – looking for examples of good things happening, doing some things that are good   for the environment etc;
  • Taking time to be still and in the moment – mindfulness experiences;
  • Regular exercise;
  • Taking deep belly breathes; and
  • Talk about your worries and fears together and then turn them around to something positive.

Two very good books to help explain some of these feelings to children are ‘Hey Awesome’ and ‘Hey Warrior’ by Karen Young, both are available in our Junior School Library.

If you want any further information about the zones or you are concerned about your child’s reactions, please contact Mardi Frost or myself through the Junior School Admin Office.

Until next time,

Karen Koehler
Deputy Head of Junior School Pastoral

 

 

Japanese News

Over the last few weeks our Junior School Japanese classes experienced “Learning Through Art”.

Students in Prep and Year 1 have been working on the Japanese ACARA standard where students begin to write hiragana symbols and hiragana words.

Prep students chose a family member to draw and label and Year 1 students chose an animal to draw and label, linking it to their unit of inquiry.

GOLD COAST DRAMA FESTIVAL

This year the annual Gold Coast Secondary Schools Drama Festival is going virtual. Schools all over the Gold Coast will enter a recorded version of one act plays to be adjudicated towards the end of Term 3. This year two of our Drama Classes, MS Drama Festival and Year 10 Drama have been working on productions – Ivy Shambitt and the Sound Machine and Picnic at Hanging Rock which they will be performing in front on an audience of their peers in the coming weeks.

SHAKEFEST 2020

This year St Andrews has entered in Shakefest – an  annual Shakespearean inspired festival run by Brisbane Theatre Company ‘Shake & Stir’. Like most events this year it has moved to an online entry – with a festival for finalists held later in the year. Chookas to many of our senior PAT Speech and Drama who are entering as well as our MS Dance students who are choreographing a routine to Titania and Oberon from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

CONGRATULATIONS

Year 9 student, Evie, has been extremely busy competing in online dance competitions, including Australia Performs and Get The Beat. She received exceptional results in both competitions. At Australia Performs Evie placed 1st in Contemporary and 3rd in Tap. What is even more amazing is that she choreographed both routines herself. In the Get the Beat competition, Evie then placed 2nd in Contemporary, 2nd in Tap, 2nd in Open, 3rd in Jazz, 5th for Lyrical and 5th for Student Choreography. In addition to these results, Evie was awarded 3rd 'Overall Highest Scorer' in the entire Teen division. Evie was then invited to compete in the 'Champions of Champions' and 'Top 5 Dance Off' at Nationals. Congratulations and good luck for Nationals. We are incredibly proud of you!
