The fence has been erected around G Block and will soon be extended to take in the entire basketball court area. Stage 1 of the 2020 Vision construction program has begun. G Block is being transformed into a new staff room and refurbished classroom for Physical Education. The construction of the roof over the courts will commence in coming weeks. We are on track for a day 1, 2017 opening. For more images and information, visit our 2020 Vision website. http://www.mueller.qld.edu.au/2020vision Another exiting announcement is the construction of a new tuckshop. Following on from the Parent and Student Surveys, we have started the construction of a tuckshop which will be centrally located and provide chef prepared meals. The tuckshop will also open for the 2017 academic year.
Mueller College has a very clear picture of what education is. Put simply, we believe that all students ‘want to belong’ and all students ‘want to learn’. This is expressed through a sense of belonging to a community and working to succeed in their learning goals. We are progressively redeveloping the entire campus to align with this simple vision. We are working towards creating spaces where students feel they belong and are challenged to learn. All we do is underpinned by the Gospel. This doesn’t mean we are perfect, quite the opposite. It means that we recognise our struggles and the need for a Savior. Ultimately, a sense of belonging can only be satisfied through a relationship with the creator God.

By treating these issues early and providing a holistic model of support, the risk of them developing into more serious problems is greatly decreased.
HeadSpace provides early intervention services to 12-25 years old, to promote young peoples’ wellbeing through four core areas: mental health, physical health, work and study support and alcohol and other drug services. If you know of someone going through a hard time, HeadSpace have got your back. Check out the HeadSpace website for further details. HeadSpace Redcliffe can be contacted on 3897 1897.

GIVING OUR CHILDREN ATTENTION
Last week I looked a little at the topic of sibling rivalry. One area I spoke about was the need for a parent to give each child individual attention on a regular basis. As a parent of five, one thing I learned was that I could never give all my children the same amount of time and attention all the time. It just wasn’t possible. In an ideal world, we would spend time with each one daily, but realistically this rarely happens.
Our children are different people with differing needs and personalities. Some are more demanding than others and will get your attention regardless. The child who talks constantly will usually get a parent’s ear, although there can be a temptation to switch off as your child starts yet another story about what happened at school and the intricate detail that each student and teacher played in that story. A quieter sibling may miss out on attention if we’re not deliberate about spending time with them as that child may never demand it - but they still need it.
In families where one member suffers from an ongoing chronic or serious illness, children can miss out on attention. Trying to juggle spending time and caring for the sick child (who needs that love and care) with the needs of any other children can be heart wrenching for parents. On occasion the well child may feel some resentment towards the ill sibling and this is normal
and understandable. How’s a parent to navigate this delicate situation? First, and most important, don’t try and do it all alone. Enlist the help of family or friends – often they want to help but don’t know how. You need somebody you can rely on to leave the children with, and if a child is in hospital for a long time, having another trusted person/s visit that child is essential. One of the best things to do is to be fully present wherever you are. If you’re with the sick child, focus on him/her entirely, and if you’re with the other child focus on him. Trust that the hospital will be caring for the ill child. Try to ensure that the health of the child is not the only topic of conversation in the family. Try somehow to have a few quiet moments each day for yourself too.
I’ve been surprised at the number of children who’ve complained to me that their parents spend all of their time at home on their phone (devices). There’s probably some exaggeration, however, all of us need to check on ourselves at times and ask whether our families are missing out because we’re distracted. If they can’t get our attention, sometimes they’ll use other means like teasing a sibling or starting a squabble.
I mentioned earlier that it’s not possible to give equal time all the time and that’s true, but what we do need to try and do is to make sure we give each one time and that there’s a balance overall.
