ANZAC Day has been a significant part of life at St Andrews since the inception of the school nearly 30 years ago. This year it was fantastic to have our Senior Choir sing the New Zealand and Australian National Anthems at the Currumbin RSL service that was televised across our nation and our Senior Captains directly participate at Currumbin and Burleigh. Our school was also well represented at the James Street march.

ANZAC Day appears to be growing in significance as part of our collective spirituality as a nation. The ideals of courage, sacrifice, mateship and endurance ring out as noble pursuits and can be embraced by all of our nation. These characteristics are at the core of the Kokoda program that we support so positively through our participation in the challenges in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

As we observed ANZAC Day on last Friday, the symmetry between what our service people have done in the past and what Christ achieved at Easter was highlighted. This was done in the following words - Today, we give thanks for the Sacrifice our Armed forces have made to keep us safe from the tyranny and hardship of oppressive regimes. In other words, the ANZACs defeated powers that wished to enslave us and maintain us as prisoners to ideas and ways we would not want to follow. Jesus’ sacrifice is like this too. His giving up of His life defeated the power of sin and selfishness in our own lives. Our selfishness can enslave us and keep us captive to ways of thinking and living that we don’t want to do…. But Jesus breaks the control selfishness can have over us and sets us free and keeps us free spirituality – just as our service people did in a physical and historical sense.

Freedom is a most wonderful gift. We are forever thankful for all that our Servicemen and women have done to assure us of it, and, similarly we give thanks for Jesus assuring us of freedom from our own selfishness that robs us and others of freedom. How blessed we are to be Free!

EMPOWERING LIFELONG LEARNERS

"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself” John Dewey

May I add my warm welcome back to Term 2 and what a wonderful start to the term it has been. You may recall that over the past two newsletters, I have made comments around the first two foci in our mission statement, ‘Celebrating the Gospel’ and ‘Nurturing the Individual’. This week, I like to consider the third statement, ‘Empowering Lifelong Learners’.

I love the quote above, by Dewey, "Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself”. This quote implies that we ought to never stop learning, that learning is a lifelong process, that we ought to have a growth mindset and continually be open to growing and learning new things. Learning certainly can occur in our formal learning environments, but also in our day to day interactions with people, in our workplaces and in our personal journey of discovery.

At St Andrews, we believe that all useful knowledge and learning is a wonderful gift of God for our growth as human beings, therefore we value academic excellence. We also recognise that each child has different but special gifts that need to be identified and developed to the fullest. It is wonderful to see students engaging in such a wide range of activities both in and outside the classroom, empowering them to achieve their own personal best in their chosen fields. It is my hope, that our students develop a love of learning that will carry them well beyond the school gates, into their adult lives, empowering them to go on and have an incredible influence and impact for good in their world.

YEAR 7-12 CROSS COUNTRY

Last Thursday we saw an array of House colours as our Years 7-12 all showed their fitness and running prowess in the Inter-House Cross-Country Carnival at Schuster’s Park. The House Spirit and participation across all Year levels and all Houses was superb. Congratulations Jubi who won the overall shield because of their strong participation. Thank you to Mrs Wood who coordinated the Carnival, the Groundsmen, the Teaching Staff, Sports Aides and Parents who attended and most importantly the students for their wonderful contributions on what was a great day. Individual Age Champions are listed in the Sports Section.

ANZAC DAY SERVICES

Last weekend we commemorated Anzac Day. Last Friday, the whole Secondary School came together for a moving outdoor service in the Middle School Amphitheatre. Our students conducted themselves respectfully and with gratitude, in memory of those who have served our nation in the Armed Services. On ANZAC day a good number of our community marched together and a wreath was laid as part of the Burleigh ANZAC service. At the Currumbin RSL Dawn service, our Captains also laid a wreath and our Vocal Ensemble performed to a nationally televised audience, both the Australian and New Zealand National Anthems.

YEAR 9 PROJECT NIGHT AND GOOGA INFORMATION EVENING

On Tuesday, Year 9 students and families gathered to enjoy the Project Night and diversity of student driven personal projects before learning more about the GOOGA experience that lies ahead of our students in Term 2. The diversity, creativity and craft of thought and ‘making’ was astounding and I’d like to congratulate the Year 9 students on their projects.

YEAR 7 CAMP

This week saw our Year 7’s head to Kokoda Park Outdoor Ed for their camp experience. In addition to the perfect weather, they enjoyed High Ropes, a Rock climbing wall, bushwalking, a Flying Fox and Giant Swing, and improved both their problem solving skills and peer interactions. A huge thank you to Mr Rob Harris for his organisation and leadership on the Camp, and to the Year 7 teachers, for their commitment to this Camp and to our Year 7 students.

On Friday, our Year 10-12 Language students were involved with a Senior School Language Immersion Day. Students had the opportunity to increase their speaking language proficiency (in either German or Japanese) through various communication activities including speaking with sister schools in Germany and Japan. They also enjoyed dinner together at the German Club in Merrimac or the G Clef Japanese Karaoke Bar in Surfers Paradise. Many thanks Mrs Dani Goucher, Ms Kerry Forrest and Mr Jochen Schaich for their commitment to student success in our Language program.

LOOKING AHEAD

Year 7 - 12 Three-Way Conferences (Virtual) will take place online on Wednesday, 5 May (Year 7-12) and Tuesday, 11 May (Year 7 only). Details for bookings were included in the Start of Term 2 letter previously emailed to families.

These conferences (Parent/teacher interviews) allow a collaborative conversation with the student, parent and teacher online. If you have concerns with regards to your child’s learning or well-being, these are an excellent opportunity to engage in conversation with teachers and work together in partnership for the best learning outcomes for your child.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION AT ST ANDREWS

Term 2 sees many of our year levels take part in our embedded outdoor education programs. There is no underestimating the positive benefits of these programs and that is why at St Andrews these Camps are compulsory aspects of our overall academic program. Dates are listed below:

Year 8 – Camp Kokoda Tuesday, 11 May – Friday, 14 May.

Year 9 – GOOGA Boys Monday, 17 May – Tuesday, 1 June.

Year 9 – GOOGA Girls Thursday, 3 June – Friday, 18 June.

Year 11 – Emu Gully Camp Wednesday, 16 June – Friday, 18 June.

We also look forward to the Year 4 - 12 Performing Arts Music Gala in the Ruth Butler Theatre on Saturday, 8 May. It will be a wonderful night of music – featuring our Music Ensembles and Choirs. As it is a ticketed event, please be sure to book you ticket online.

VIRTUES OF HUMANITY AND JUSTICE

This term the focus in pastoral care time and assemblies will be on the virtues of Humanity and Justice. These comprise the Character Strengths of Love, Kindness, Social Intelligence, Teamwork, Fairness and Leadership.

While our focus will always be on the pursuit of academic personal bests it is also important to build the capacity of our students’ hearts and hands as well as their minds. Therefore, this term we will be helping our young people tap into and cultivate these strengths. For example, the Year 12’s have been encouraged to use their leadership skills to set up study groups as they prepare for the final push to External Exams. There is nothing like using the fabulous facilities we have at school to study with friends. I also talked with the Year 10 Girls about Kindness – just walking past someone and smiling, being compassionate but NOT being intrusive by discussing the business of others. It’s a fine balance and we don’t always get it right.

In our recent Assembly we also talked about being grateful for our amazing bodies and all that they do for us. For example, in 60 seconds our eyes process 600 million bits of visual information, our heart beats on average 60-100 times and pumps 3-4 litres of blood and we shed around 40,000 skin cells. Phew! As we move into May we will focus on being ‘Meaningful in May’ and the Action for Happiness Calendar below has examples of how we can make this a focus each day.

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

The Senior School students who gave up some time on Sunday to attend the Burleigh ANZAC Day Ceremony. Giving back through acknowledging the sacrifices of our service people is appreciated. As one of the speakers suggested – if you see a person wearing service badges on their left chest – thank them for their service too, it means the world to them.
St Andrew Leos who gave up some time to flip sausages at Bunnings on the last day of the holidays to raise money for Super Max and Bryce Charity – helping those little ones and their families who are suffering from cancer.

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

ANZAC REMEMBRANCE

To commemorate ANZAC day students created red felt poppies and wrote letters of thanks to veterans for their valour and service for the CRC weekly activities. The poppies were hung on the school’s front fence as an ANZAC remembrance.

PUBLIC LIBRARY RESOURCES

Senior business classes (among other classes) have recently discovered the benefits of the multiple information resources and databases that are available to them through the State Library of Queensland and the Gold Coast City Council libraries. The CRC highly recommend students and families join up to the public libraries.

MINECRAFT CLUB

Students presented their Minecraft creations of an international space station based on the NASA model to Mr Smith, Mrs Saunders and Mrs Kristo. Students attention to detail, creativity and imagination again impressed teachers and the audience!

Coming Up!

LUNCHTIME ACTIVITIES

This week students are welcome to visit the CRC Senior Library to create cards for the special females in their life.

ESPORTS TRIALS

Trials for the upcoming Esports competition will begin soon. Students will receive emails from Mrs Kristo to sign-up to the trials in the next week. The interschool competitions we will participate in are as follows:

INCLUSIVE PRACTICES PREP – YEAR 12

My name is Sandi Aleman and I am the Head of Inclusive Practices across P – 12. I along with our Inclusive Practices teachers, Learning Assistants, classroom teachers and additional support staff work as a team to cater for the individual needs of all students. I have been the Student Services Coordinator in the Secondary College since 2019 and I am now the Head of the newly named ‘Inclusive Practices’ Department. I will be supporting students from Prep through to Year 12.

‘Inclusive Practices’ help support students with access and participation in learning, alongside their similar-aged peers, supported by reasonable adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet their individual needs. Inclusion is embedded in all aspects of our College life and is supported in every day practices by all staff.

This term will see some changes within the Inclusive Practices Department. These changes will see a change in format of Support Plans across the College. If your child is receiving Supplementary, Substantial or Extensive support he/she will be formally placed on a Support Plan. The College Support Plans outline critical information to assist with individualising support and ensuring reasonable adjustments are being made to support academic, health and/or social emotional needs of students. This new format to the Support Plans assists with streamlining processes and communication across the College. If your child is receiving support and is placed on a new Support Plan/or your child’s Support Plan is ready for review, you will be contacted by myself or one of our Inclusive Practices staff. Your input and consent are required at this time.

Our commitment to nurturing each individual student across the College is paramount. We aim to ensure all students are able to:

Access and participate in a high-quality education and fully engage in the curriculum along-side their similar-aged peers.
Learn in a safe and supportive environment, free from bullying, discrimination or harassment.
Achieve academically and socially with reasonable adjustments and supports tailored to meet their learning needs.

Term 2 and 3 also sees the NCCD - National Consistent Collection of Data for students with Disabilities. Please see the information below regarding the College NCCD processes for 2021:

Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)

Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. These relate to legislative requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005, in line with the NCCD guidelines (2021).

Information provided about students to the Australian Government for the NCCD includes:

year of schooling
category of disability: physical, cognitive, sensory or social/emotional
level of adjustment provided: support provided within quality differentiated teaching practice, supplementary, substantial or extensive.

This information assists schools to:

formally recognise the supports and adjustments provided to students with disability in schools
consider how they can strengthen the support of students with disability in schools
develop shared practices so that they can review their learning programs in order to improve educational outcomes for students with disability.

The NCCD provides state and federal governments with the information they need to plan more broadly for the support of students with disability.

The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. The school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured. All information is protected by privacy laws that regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information. To find out more about these matters, please refer to the Australian Government’s Privacy Policy(https://www.education.gov.au/privacy-policy).

Further information about the NCCD can be found on the NCCD Portal (https://www.nccd.edu.au). If you have any questions about the NCCD, Support Plans or the Inclusive Practices Department, please do not hesitate to contact me at sandia@salc.qld.edu.au

Sandi Aleman
Head of Inclusive Practices Prep – Year 12

One of the biggest challenges in most schools is around drop off and pick up time. We all want to collect our children as soon as school finishes and we want to drop off as close to the start time as possible. As a result, the traffic in and out of the College becomes congested. The most efficient way to reduce traffic congestion within the College is to reduce the number of cars driving onto campus. The College has partnered with the Gold Coast City Council as part of the Active School Travel Program where we search for alternate ways to get to school safely. We have been in this program for 3 years now and have seen a reduction in traffic coming onsite. I see several families parking their car and walking to school using the crossing near Daffodil Street and other families carpooling, thus reducing the number of cars. The number of students catching buses has almost doubled and we have had to put in more bike racks to cater for the students riding their bikes to school.

Over the school holidays a mural was painted on the outside wall of the Junior School Music Building to celebrate the journey and to serve as a reminder to the different ways that we can travel to school safely.

OPPORTUNITIES

The students certainly have a lot of opportunities to be involved in different aspects of College life. In the past week they have participated in ANZAC Day Services, cross country carnivals, musical rehearsals, band and choir rehearsals, running clubs and sporting trials to name a few. All of these opportunities are put in place to help develop the whole child and provide a well-balanced education to support the rigorous academic program.

ANZAC DAY

It was great to see so many of our students at the ANZAC Day service last Sunday. It is lovely to see so many children supporting the legacy of the ANZACS by marching and paying their respects. Lest we Forget.

Darrin Schumacher
Deputy Principal Head of Junior School

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) offers many benefits. One of these benefits is an in-depth reflection process which occurs every five years once a school is authorised to offer the programme. St Andrews was authorised to deliver the PYP by IB in 2008. Since then we have completed two evaluations and we are now preparing to complete another one in October 2022. Programme evaluation is both a service provided by IB to IB World Schools and a requirement. The purpose of the evaluation process is to ensure that the standards and practices of the programme are being maintained. It provides the opportunity for the IB to work closely with our school as we strive to continuously improve all aspects of the programme. The process involves all stakeholders within the school community including the College Council Members, staff, parents and most importantly our students.

As part of this review process, the Junior School including the entire learning community will be involved in a Self–Study. We will be reflecting on our practices and will rate ourselves against the standards and outcomes since our last evaluation. On the student free day of Term One, our staff gathered together to find out more and engage in some collaborative thinking about the up-coming evaluation process.

The evaluation process is a wonderful opportunity for us to receive feedback on the success of our programme implementation. It will also assist us to continue to deliver excellent learning outcomes for all of our students.

Parents will be offered the opportunity to participate in some up-coming Learning Walks and workshop sessions to further develop your understanding of the PYP. Please keep an eye out for information regarding these sessions which will be sent via an email in the coming weeks.

LEGO BRICK BUILDING

This term we have added another group of students to the Wednesday extra-curricular LEGO Brick Building after school activity. There are currently two groups running: a P-2 group and a Year 3-6 group. The STEAM Room was buzzing with enthusiastic and excited students from P-2 as they commenced their first LEGO session. The Master Brick Builder (Ben) invited the students to make LEGO dominos which are going to be used in an up-coming television commercial about road safety. The students tested their LEGO domino course to see the chain reaction at the end of the session. They are keen to see the TV commercial featuring their builds in the near future!

There are many exciting learning opportunities planned for the term ahead. Please keep checking Parent Lounge and year level newsletters/email communication for details relevant to your child’s year level.

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
