Chaplain's Chat

‘God Acts through Worship’ at Googa

In chapel in the last few weeks the students have connected with how ‘God acts through worship’. 

How does God act through worship at St Andrews? Our immediate thoughts are chapels. However, I have just come back from spending a few days with the Year 9 boys at camp at the Googa Outdoor Education Centre and this is definitely a place where we see God at work. 

In this space, God is truly evident in the act of worship. So far at camp, the boys have been part of worship services - they have sung worship songs and listened to the leaders’ personal stories of how God has impacted their lives. These leaders have supported them and role modelled their love for God. Some have acknowledged that they pray for these students who are in their presence for only a short time but see the importance of prayer to support them. The boys have spent time in reflection on the beauty of God’s nature, they have journals where they have moments on camp to reflect on their gifts and talents that God has given them. 

 

God is constantly acting through worship in this camp. 

Let’s admit the obvious. They are Year 9 boys and many of them are oblivious to the fact that God has been a part of their lives through them in worship at this camp. But this is not really the point. God is the one acting, he is continually there, we only need to be part of these experiences and be open to Him for Him to be acting in our lives.

 

God reinforces this in his word when He says:

‘And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17.

 

This Year 9 camp is one pivotal example of how God acts through worship in our St Andrews community.

A SENSE OF JUSTICE


One of the Andrian values we are focusing on this term is Justice.  At a recent Senior School Assembly, I spoke to students about Justice. Justice is something we live with everyday, but do not often think about. There are laws, and we mostly obey them – if we get caught breaking then we pay the price. That’s justice. There are courts and we know that there is a process of justice that happens there. There are rules at school and we know there are consequences for breaking those. But what is the virtue of justice?  How can justice help build our character?

The virtue of justice is about developing a sensitivity to the plight that other people face in their lives.  It is about putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes and being concerned about their welfare. It is about caring enough for others in the world that we look past our own needs and worries and consider what is fair and right for another person.

It is interesting to note that justice in our western culture has mainly developed from the principles found in scripture. The Bible teaches the sanctity of human life, the responsibility of the wealthy, and the importance of looking after the poor and disadvantaged. So, in our culture, we believe that human dignity is important, that life is valuable and that all people should be seen as important; we call this a belief in ‘human rights’. Of course, there is much to debate about the deeper philosophy and details of justice, but we tend to agree that people deserve to be treated fairly. To understand that, accept it, believe it is important and act on it, that is the virtue of justice.


A BUSY AND ENGAGING PLACE

St Andrews continues to be a hive of activity with a plethora of activities, events and learning opportunities for our students.  In just the past two weeks, we have had; our Year 9 and 10 Visual Arts students attend an exhibition at QAGOMA, Brisbane and some at the HOTA, Gold Coast, Senior Chess students compete in the QLD Interschool Chess tournament, selected Year 7 and 8 students competing in another round of E-sports (FUSE cup), girls from Years 7-12 playing netball in the Vicki Wilson Cup and Shield, and more teams competing in the GC Schools Futsal Titles and our Year 9 boys are out at GOOGA for their 13 day outdoor education camping and living in community experience.

See 7 more...
See 9 more...

Yet there is more, many of our Year 10 students were recently invited to attend the “2021GriffithBUSINESS Responsible Leaders of the Future Conference”. These students engaged in a full-day program that provided hands-on experience where they were challenged to problem solve, develop ideas and suggest solutions to reimagine how organisations and leaders face 21st century challenges. Our students worked together to explore how they can disrupt traditional models and explore themes and skills like entrepreneurialism, leadership, sustainability, equity, innovation and adaptability.

Across both the Middle School and Senior School, students were invited to participate in our “Hack-a-thon” this past week. This incredible event was run by BOP Industries, who are a passionate group of young entrepreneurs who are experts in encouraging students to think “outside” the box and come up with creative solutions to some of society’s problems. This was a fantastic workshop for these students as they were immersed in opportunity recognition, ideation, prototyping, testing and pitching.


Please read on for reports on all these wonderful educational opportunities.

THE VIRTUE OF JUSTICE

The focus in pastoral care time and assemblies this term continues to be on the virtues of Humanity and in the latter half of the term Justice, which comprises the Character Strengths of Teamwork, Fairness and Leadership.  

What comes to mind when thinking about Justice is fairness and doing the right thing such as, giving thanks, telling the truth, being faithful and showing courtesy and respect. For example, when we know we have done the wrong thing or not treated someone with respect, the best and most just thing an individual can do is to quickly own our own behaviour and the truth and say sorry. This can often be hard for us to do as it usually involves a consequence. What is not okay, is to continue with the untruth to avoid getting into trouble because generally, the truth always comes out. I look forward to exploring this with our students as we finish off a very busy Term 2.


Vaping 

Schools across the Gold Coast have reported increasing incidences of vaping, that is, the use of e-cigarettes. Communication with our local Police Beat Officer has confirmed the concern of Vaping amongst school students as well as the increased distribution of Vaping devices and accessories. As a result, we will be in direct contact with the parent community with relevant information to support you at home (health concerns of Vaping, legislation information and tips around addressing this with your young person). We will also address our student body on the dangers of Vaping and ask our local adopt-a-cop to come and talk at an Assembly. The aim is to inform our students of the health concerns so they are more aware should they be tempted to experiment. 

To begin the increase of our health literacy around this latest but very dangerous trend is that:

  • these devices contain the equivalent levels of nicotine found in an entire packet of cigarettes which is highly addictive and can have significant health effects for users,
  • the chemicals used to create the flavours, once heated, break down into many damaging and even carcinogenic chemicals,
  • the use of e-cigarettes is banned for people under 18 and the sale of these products to people under 18 is illegal.

Year 8 Camp Kokoda

Four days of adventure and life skills awaited Year 8, as they disembarked from the College bound for Lake Maroon in the Scenic Rim.  From the moment the students stepped off the bus, their independence and self-initiative were tested.  Garbage bags were replaced with hiking packs and the groups ventured off in all directions to explore the 660-acre Camp Kokoda property.  The activities were all aimed to develop the ‘soft skills’ of collaboration and teamwork, communication, personal and social skills along with critical and creative thinking.  Creativity was definitely the name of the game when it came to the crate stack challenge.  By building connections within their group and contributing in small but important ways, students were able to complete the giant swing, abseiling, high ropes, flying fox and hiking challenges.  To say that the staff are proud of the flexibility, resilience, leadership and open-mindedness that the students showed on a minute to minute basis, is truly an understatement.  The stories of first night lightning and thunder will be told for many days to come, however the memories and bonds forged through challenging experiences, side by side with old and new friendships, will forever live on.

Business Review

Last Wednesday, the Year 8 and 9 Going into Business Semester 1 class hosted the bi-annual ‘My Business Rules’ Event.

Thank goodness we selected the undercover COLA area for our event this year because as the donuts, hot chips and subway stalls were being set up, the rain came tumbling down. 

Congratulations to the winning team ‘Not Bunnings’ who hosted the very popular sausage sizzle. Consisting of Taj, Kai, Harvey and Ben, the team raised over $120 for the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Animal Hospital.


The 9 teams combined will be sending a $492 donation to the hospital with the purchase of a ‘supporters' brick’ that will be engraved with the name of the ‘Semester 1 class of 2021’. 

Thank you to all students and staff who made purchases on the day and to the families of the students who took part for last minute icebag drop offs and Esky pickups.

During Week 5, we were lucky to have local Realtor from Realty Blue and St Andrews parent Mr Mick Brace, onsite to take us through the booming Gold Coast property market. 

Both gentlemen had impressive knowledge and the generous gift of their time was very much appreciated. 

Than you Mr Cole and Mr Brace!

Senior Library News

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Source: (“National Reconciliation Week | Reconciliation Australia,” 2021)

As part of National Reconciliation Week (and beyond) you may like to watch or listen to shows and podcasts on National Indigenous Television (NITV)https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/ which is a channel made by, for and about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  NITV informs, educates and entertains its Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences about the issues that matter the most to Indigenous Australians.  NITV provides a rich diversity of cultures, languages and talent.  It is a channel for all Australians.

Learn more at Share Our Pride also developed by Reconciliation Australia. And listen to Indigenous authors read their picture books and watch the short film Stories Connect Us All.

 

To honour our First Nations Peoples, and National Reconciliation Week, the CRC Library team continues 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 are labelled with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flag on the spine to allow locating these resources easier.
  • Intentional sourcing and cataloguing of websites which offer authentic perspectives from Indigenous communities – such as the Map of the Colonial Frontier Massacres.

TESTS

There are lots of different tests that students are exposed to. Diagnostic tests, standardised tests, NAPLAN tests, PIZA tests, end of unit tests, spelling tests, maths tests and the list goes on. The people and organisations that set these tests all have valid reasons for setting these tests. A Diagnostic test can help diagnose a learning condition. A Standardised test ranks the students against other students of the same age. NAPLAN tests give governments a snapshot of how students are performing across the country. Maths, spelling and end of unit tests can give a snapshot of how students have understood the content that has been taught. I could write about the pros and cons for each of these tests and the impacts on student wellbeing. 

What I would like to say is that the most important tool for assessing student development is teacher observations and then providing immediate feedback. A good teacher notices the errors that students are making and why they are making them and gives immediate feedback for growth. A NAPLAN test will tell what they got correct and incorrect but there is no feedback to help improve. While there is a place for some tests, let’s not forget the fact that teachers (and parents) use what they see, hear and feel to help gain an understanding of a child’s development and this should never be undervalued. 


COOLER WEATHER

With the onset of the cooler weather we are seeing far more jumpers and jackets in lost property. We can return these back very quickly to students when they are clearly labelled. The same is true for hats. 


FUNDRAISING

The College has an outstanding reputation for service to the community. This term has had several focus areas:

The Parents and Friends Fundraiser “Dance for Sick Kids” was well received and a lot of fun. The prizes were amazing and thank you to all of the local businesses who donated them. It is appreciated. 

Earlier this week we had a Mufti Day, where the funds raised went to the Kokoda Youth Foundation. 

On Wednesday 16 June, we will be conducting a Fun Run. The money raised will go to “Light Up Vanuatu” https://www.schoolaid.org.au/lightupvanuatu  The aim of this campaign is to try and help end light poverty in the villages of Vanuatu. 

While your participation in these events is always appreciated, we understand that you can’t always support every charitable endeavour. Thank you for contributing when you can. 

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Traffic safety is everyone’s responsibility and we need your help! We ask that you follow these simple rules as per the Department of Main Roads and Transport standard:

Observe the speed limit on campus, 10km/h

  1. Remain in your lane
  2. Do not stop on a pedestrian crossing
  3. Do not stop on the yellow markings (chevroning)
  4. Do not move bollards
  5. Follow the directions of our staff

To ensure optimum traffic flow, please be respectful and patient.

THINKING TINKERING THURSDAYS

The Years 4 to 6 students have completed the seven weeks of their choice activity for Thinking Tinkering Thursday. I mentioned in the previous article that one of the reasons we developed this opportunity was to help promote learner agency. Agency is basically when our students have ownership of their own learning and action that comes from that learning. Teachers have received positive feedback from our students in relation to their experiences with these sessions. One aspect of the feedback was the overwhelming fact that the students were offered options of what they were interested in engaging in and how they appreciated that Thursday afternoons were challenging but relaxing! They also loved the opportunity to interact with other students from across the year levels (4 to 6) and that some activities enabled them to make a difference in the lives of others. The Craft Group made blankets for the St Andrews Aged Care residents and they recently presented them to Mrs Kathy Friebel who is the Chaplain at the aged care facility.

 

Below are some of the reflective comments made by our students in a recent survey:

“I liked how we could do our own free builds. I also liked how we could make our own ideas.”

“Just being able to paint and just relax and be creative.”

“I loved that we could choose what we are passionate about and be given the time to do some activities and learn more about it!”

“It was awesome to try something new and I can’t wait to do it again!” 

“I hope that we can do Thinking Tinkering Thursdays again.”

“I liked being independent and doing things on my iPad.”

 

PARENT CLASSROOM LEARNING WALKS

Just a reminder that we are providing our parent community with the opportunity to visit our classrooms during the school day to observe learning and teaching in action in a Classroom Learning Walk. This is being held on Thursday 3 June at 1:00pm, commencing in the JS STEAM Room. The purpose of the Learning Walk is to foster conversation about learning and teaching in order to develop a shared vision of high-quality teaching that impacts on student learning.

Please RSVP directly to Ms Vicki Chester pa_jsms@salc.qld.edu.au if you would like to attend. 

At St Andrews Lutheran College, we acknowledge the importance of building relationships with parents based on trust and open communication. The Learning Walks afternoon is a way of opening our classroom doors and sharing with parents the ways in which we foster students’ creativity and curiosity, build their sense of student agency and motivate students to achieve the best possible outcomes.

I look forward to welcoming parents through our classrooms on this day!

Be very careful, then, how you live … making the most of every opportunity … Ephesians 5:15-16
