Celebrating our Pacific Dads
Right from the inception of the college, dads have played a special part in the shaping of
culture of the community. Dads have organised working bees, built sheds and paths,
coached sport, been an important part of Friends of Pacific, organised Ocean Festivals,
gone on outdoor education experiences and some have even taught. Most of all, they
have been strongly there for their children and for the children of others.
As we celebrate this Father’s Day, we recognise the special place that dads play in our
families and also in communities where, through being strongly connected, they make a
difference for many. We say thank you to our dads for all they give us and we also
remember our loving Father in Heaven who is with us constantly.

Principal’s Log Our kayaking team acquitted itself very well over the weekend
at the State Schools Marathon Championship. Pacific fielded
a strong team which has performed very well. This was
despite a late shift of day from a Sunday to a Saturday which
meant that a number of people who had trained hard were
unable to attend because of a clash with other commitments.
We are still awaiting the final outcome but congratulate all
who took part. Once again we had strong support from
parents and we thank them and staff Mr Gary Graves,
Mrs Rae Hall and Mr Richard Murdoch. A special thank you
to Mr Mike Thomas for maintenance of the kayaks and
Mr Alan Gothorpe for transporting the kayaks to and from the
carnival.
Over the weekend our Tournament of the Mind team
competed in the Social Sciences Secondary Division. They
performed very well, with the team having to wait 30 minutes
for the judges to come to a decision. We congratulate all of
the students involved and thank Mrs Julie Darr for her support
of the team.
Last week our Prep - Year 5 students were busy in the Art
Courtyard working with visiting artist Ms Rachel Downie doing
clay sculptures. Our Year 2 students are using the space to
learn how to craft sculptures on the cycle of water. It is great
to see the hustle and bustle and feel the energy in the Art
Courtyard as young people create. Thank you to
Mrs McMahon for organising these important learning
experiences.
It has been a busy time for athletics at the school with the
Year 8 to 12 teams competing in District and Lutheran
Athletics and our young people enjoying their Prep - Year 2
carnival. The Year 8 to 12 students are to be congratulated
on the way they participated in both carnivals with a particular
mention of our senior students who were excellent role
models on the days. All reports were that the P-2 carnival
was a great success with young people enjoying the
challenge and a large contingent of parents present to

encourage them. Well done to these little athletes! Thank
you to our sports staff of Mrs Leigh Drogemuller, Mr Parrish
MacLeod, Mrs Tanya Graves, Mr Scott Crompton,
Mrs Amanda Empson and Mr Andrew Block for their support
of the teams and Mr Mark Hauser and Mr Gary Graves for
their overall organisation and leadership.
This weekend we have a number of our netball teams in their
Semi Finals. We wish the girls all the best and encourage
people to go along and support them at the times printed later
in the newsletter.
We look forward to celebrating the importance of dads at our
Dad’s and Lad’s Breakfast and wish them all a happy Father’s
Day on Sunday. May God continue to enrich and encourage
our dads.

Daily Bread
Porridge Plus Honey = Yum
Every morning, I cook porridge for breakfast for my wife and
me. Porridge is a good source of dietary fibre. Porridge fills
you up and gives complex carbohydrates. Porridge is very
good for you and it is also very dull.
Every morning that I cook porridge, I also put out the honey
and golden syrup. My wife is the golden syrup person and I
am the honey person. Porridge is far less dull with a
teaspoon of honey. Honey sure makes it delicious.
In the Old Testament book of Proverbs, we read a saying that
mentions honey. “Kind words are like honey, sweet to the
taste and good for your health.” (Proverbs 16: 24). This is
practical everyday advice that talks about the way that we can
speak to others with words of kindness and encouragement.
Words that are spoken with generosity can change
someone’s daily life absolutely from dullness to delight. “They
are good for your health.”
Our college community grows ever more strong and healthier
as we find kind words for each other. Each day God gives us
new opportunities to speak words that build up rather than
tear down. Even the politicians have made an election issue
of words or campaigns designed to be “negative” to “put
down” opponents.
Even on the cross our Lord Jesus prayed, “Father forgive
them, they know not what they do.”
May God give you honey in your words this week.
Pastor Paul Smith

From the Director of
Students
On Friday last week, Margaret Thorsborne worked with the
Restorative Justice team on implementing Restorative
Practice (RP) in our community. RP involves viewing wrong
doing through a relational lens and understanding that harm
has been done to people and relationships. When harm is
done in a community like Pacific, it creates obligations and
liabilities.
Margaret discussed strategies for classroom teachers to use
RP when things go wrong. She stressed that RP is not a
plug-in programme. For Margaret, it is a philosophy and a way
of living and breathing our values. Students are led by staff in
a respectful dialogue where clear messages are sent about
behaviour.
RP recognises that harm has been done and needs
fixing.
Holds young people accountable for their actions.
Empowers young people and gives them a voice.
Exemplifies the value our community places on healthy
relationships.
The golden rule of RP is to reflect, repair and connect. By
bringing the affected community together, the aim is to
develop a common understanding of what happened, who
was affected and how, and what needs to happen to
collectively address the harm caused. In dealing with shame,
it is important to separate the person from the behaviour as
this allows the school community to confront the shame and
humiliation without stigmatising those involved. Shame
comes to the fore when an individual behaves in an
inappropriate manner in respect to an important community of
support such as Pacific. Through taking responsibility for the
wrong doing and making amends, shame is acknowledged
and discharged. By following this process, feelings of
connectedness with others in our community remain intact
and our social relationships are not damaged.

and Learning K-5
How to View Television Wisely
Television is both a boon and a curse to parents. Its use has
been widely researched and found to have both positive and
negative effects on children’s behaviour, language and
attitudes. It is widely criticised for not only being used as a
baby-sitter, but for keeping children away from more active or
educational activities. Television does have its good points. It
is entertaining, relaxing and offers programs high in
educational content. Television itself is not the problem,
rather the way that it is used. The key is to be selective in the
programs that children watch.
Bright Ideas (for taming the television)
Place reasonable, sensible limits on television use. A
weekly maximum of 10-12 hours viewing is highly
recommended. Restrict your own viewing as well.
Keep the television OFF. Only turn it ON when some-
one has decided to watch a program, then switch it off
when it has finished.
Encourage children to choose a program from the TV
guide before turning the television on.
From time to time, children should keep a weekly record
or diary of the programs they watch. Encourage them to
record their thoughts or reactions.
Have a television-free day once a week and try alternate
forms of entertainment such as games, reading and so
on.
Teach children the rating system and use it as a viewing
guide. Know what children are watching so that you can
make an informed decision about the suitability of
programs.
Sit with children and discuss what they have seen,
including the commercials. Talk about controversial or
topical issues that may be presented.

Food for Thought
Sibling Rivalry
Disagreements between siblings are very common. They
often start when children see a situation as unfair, or when
children are trying to assert what they think are their rights.
Sometimes disagreements happen because children see the
same situation in different ways. For example, an older child
might be teasing a younger sibling in what he thinks is a funny
way, but the younger child might not like it.
Also sometimes siblings get into conflict as they compete with
each other for parental attention or approval.
The link below will give you some tips on how to handle
sibling rivalry.

Year 6 - Green Lane Diary
Our Power Usage for the Week
This is a graph showing our school power usage for the last
three weeks.
Our power usage usually goes up on school days and goes
down drastically on the weekends. Our average power usage
on weekdays is 1107.42kW. This was a little strange because
on an average weekend, we only use just under half of that
average!
496.27kW is our average power usage for weekends and that
is a lot of power to keep a school "running" on a weekend.
Computer servers use most of our power on weekends and
maybe some lights are left on in certain places.
It is very good that we have solar panels on the roof of the
Industrial Technology building because they cut down our
power usage, help by not using fossil fuels for power and help
by not using power themselves. Another great thing about the
solar panels is that they cut down on the emissions of Carbon
Dioxide that is released into the atmosphere.
Everyone can help by turning off lights when they are not
being used, turning off computers at the switch, turn off
gaming devices when they are not in use, get solar panels
and not use fans or air conditioners unless it is hot!

PLC Blake Prize Update
This week it was my pleasure to visit the Junior College
assembly to speak to the students about the PLC Blake Prize.
It was pleasing to see the enormous number of students who
enjoy creating pieces of art and know stories from the Bible.
All of these students are eligible to enter the PLC Blake Prize.
Mrs McMahon and I look forward to seeing fantastic
contributions from the Foundation and Junior College this
year.
COMPASS
NO 317 | AUGUST 2013
The Year 6 cohort is supporting the PLC Blake Prize by
getting involved this year; with all students busy creating their
masterpieces. A number of students across the Middle and
Senior College are also preparing their pieces of work.
Students can use any medium, from painting to photography,
film to sculpture to produce their artwork. It would be great to
see many different forms of art this year.
A reminder that students wishing to be part of this year’s
competition must create their original piece of art by
Wednesday, 9th
October. All entries are to be handed into
Mrs McMahon in A1, complete with an entry form and artist’s
statement. Full entry conditions are available in Prep - Year 5
classrooms and Pastoral Care Group rooms. Parents and

Limelight Finals
On the Friday evening of the Ocean Festival, Pacific’s six
Limelight finalists performed. All showcased the broad range
of our school’s amazing talent, from vocals to instrumental
and confident stage presence. On the night, the contestants
were judged by past students and performers Mikaela Burnett
and Mathew Payne, who have been involved in local acting
groups. The judges were impressed by all performances
when they announced winners Kurtis Modlin and Jack Barclay
with their own composition on the drums and guitar. Second
place was Kirra Johnson with her vocal performance and third
was last year’s winner Rory Smith on the cello. Pacific’s
brilliant runners up were Courtney Smith, Teyla Brim and
Audrey Splatt. All contestants did an amazing job and
showed a great deal of courage and initiative and we are
extremely proud of them.
We would like to thank them and all who participated in
auditions for Limelight this year. All showed high standard
performance skills and we really encourage everyone to
participate again next year.
A special thank you to Mrs Delaney, Brendan West,
Mr Simpfendorfer and Mr King for assisting us on the night.

Year 8 QAMT Maths Quiz
Well done to our Year 8 team who competed at the Regional
finals last week at Sunshine Coast Grammar School. They
competed against eight other teams who were placed first or
second in their District heats and the competition suddenly got
fiercer and tougher. Although our team received top marks for
Rounds 3, 4 and 5 for their problem solving and knowledge of
history of Mathematics, they were overcome by Rounds 1 and
2 of the competition, consisting of estimation and speed
mental Maths, which were areas they had mastered on
different days. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable experience,
competing against other young mathematicians from all over

Year 6 Extension Maths
Every fortnight this term, a small group of students from Year
6 have enjoyed meeting for an investigative Maths lesson. In
this session, they have been presented with some challenging
fraction problems, investigating the properties of a special
group of fractions called Ideal Fractions, some general
problem solving puzzles, honing their arithmetic skills playing
“Letters and Numbers” - well the Numbers part, as in the TV
show, and exploring their topic of Measurement further by
investigating the well-known Pythagoras’ Theorem.
Maths Tutoring
The college continues to support students academically with
after school tutorials for students in Years 7 to 12 who would
like extra assistance or clarification of concepts in
Mathematics. These tutorials are on Thursday afternoons
from 3.30pm to 4.30pm in room L14 and are supported by
Mathematics teachers on a rostered system. Students are
welcome to come along for a quiet place to complete Maths
classwork, homework or ask for assistance. The expectation
is that they work quietly and that they remain within the room
until 4.30pm or picked up earlier by a parent. The section in
the Student Handbook on page 178 can be filled in if you
would like your child to attend.
If you have any queries about any of the above, please

Music News
One might not think it conventional to begin music lessons
late in the year, but here are some good reasons to consider
it:
My child is socially adjusted for the year and could do
with some other developmental input,
I could begin my child on the journey when there is less
academic pressure,
I can get a head start on 2014 when most things are
new, at least this would be a familiar task,
Christmas is coming and if there are real signs of
progress, Santa will have some great gift ideas,
I would love to have my child developing new neural
pathways in their brain prior to the end of year tests.
None of these ideas are crazy. Term 4 is actually an ideal
time to begin lessons for your child. Enrolment forms are
available for instrumental lessons from the front office, or we
can even email one out to you to look at. Something to
consider!

Pacific Soccer Update
Rooball Carnival -
24th August
A Rooball Carnival was played
last weekend which allowed our U6-U10 teams
to enjoy three games in one day, in a celebration of their final
matches for the 2013 season.
Pacific Soccer hosted U6 games at Pacific and welcomed 13
teams from other clubs, in addition to our own Pacific Seals,
Pacific Swordfish and Pacific Stingrays. We are sorry that we
did not have a photographer available, so we are not able to
share some of the excitement of the weekend.
However, we would
especially like to thank the
parents from the Seals
(Michelle Smith, Janine
Meade, Megan Pyke and
Sophie McKenzie), from the Swordfish
(Chrissy Hughes), and from the
Stingrays (Mark Turton), who helped out in the canteen, which
allowed the day to be a success for the club.
In addition to the Rooball Carnival, last weekend also saw the
start of the finals series, with the semi-final games played
between the top four teams in each age group.
U12A Pacific Barracudas finished the
season in second place, only three points
behind the premiership-winning Caloundra
Gold, and played against Caloundra for a
chance to earn a direct entry into the Grand Final. The game
was played at Caloundra and was very close, with the scores
locked at 1-1 at full time.
After 20 minutes of extra time, the score was still 1-1 and,
therefore, the game went to penalty shots. The Barracudas
showed wonderful maturity, kept their nerve, and took the
game 4-3 on penalties, and will therefore be playing in the
Grand Final on 7th September.
U13B Pacific Marlins finished the season in
third place and played a sudden-death game
against fourth place Chancellor Crusaders.
The game was evenly matched with the
Crusaders scoring first, and the Marlins
equalising before the half-time break. In the second half, the
Marlins scored again, and had several near misses to finally
take the game 2-1.
This weekend the Marlins will be playing the U13B
premiership-winning team Caloundra Red. Despite finishing
the season on top of the table, Caloundra Red lost their semi-
final match against Palmwoods Titans last weekend and
therefore hoping to defeat the Marlins this weekend, to
progress to the Grand Final.
The U16/17 Pacific Jets have finished the
season as premiers and played second place
Nambour Mountain Lions at Pacific last
weekend. Nambour scored early to go ahead 2-0, leaving the
Jets with a daunting task. However, the players showed
wonderful composure, teamwork, and skill, and kept in the
game, scoring twice to level the game. Nambour scored
COMPASS
NO 317 | AUGUST 2013
again in the second half, but the Jets again equalised and the
teams were still locked at 3-3 at full time. Thirty minutes of
extra time was not enough to produce a winner, so this game
again was decided with penalty shots. With the sun setting at
the end of a long day, the Jets showed extraordinary
composure, yet again, and won the game 5-4 on penalties.
The Jets will also be playing in the Grand Final on 7th
September.
Thank You from the Canteen
In addition to the volunteers from the Seals, Swordfish and
Stingrays, we would also like to thank the families from our
competitive teams (Tigerheads, Marlins and Jets), who also
helped to keep the canteen running throughout such a long
day. Special thanks must go to Mark Christensen, Lala
Burnes and Kelly and Craig Abraham (who finally finished
locking up after 6.30pm) and also to Hannah Abraham,
Georgia Snelling and Brooke Leadbetter.

and, at this stage, Pacific Soccer has been issued sufficient
tickets for only a few award nominees and players from two
teams. Therefore, it is important for ticket orders and menu
selections to be confirmed and payment made without delay,
to maximise the possibility of players and a family member
being able to attend. More specific information will also be
sent out to the families of the competitive teams.

Feedback Needed from our Gluten Free Families!
We have been approached by the lovely Sarah Davey who is
the Director of GFFM Cafe (Gluten Free for Me) that is located
in Aerodrome Road, Maroochydore. Sarah is working on a
range of pre-packaged, gluten free, nut free and often dairy
free products that will be suitable for school canteens. We
would love some input from the parents of our students who
have these specific dietary requirements, so we can gauge
the level of interest in stocking a small range of her products.
Please send us an email at [email protected]
with any thoughts. We would love to hear what you think.
