As Term 3 comes to a close, I reflect upon what has been an incredibly
busy term. The Senior Secondary students have been busy with their
exams as they start to think about life after school. As part of the QCS
testing period, the Year 12 students met at our outside chapel space
and prepared for the 2 days of testing. Understandably during this
stressful time our students experienced nerves and worry about their
future, being nervous is understandable but worry is the real enemy. I
find worry to be a very unhelpful emotion, it can often be like a rocking
chair as it is always in motion but you are never getting anywhere. In
Luke 12:25, Jesus said “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour
to his life”.
As our students enter into Term 4, there will be many academic
challenges and that is inevitably going to cause our students to worry.
But during these times I ask students to have the courage to trust in
themselves, trust in your preparation
and your own God-given abilities. As
we journey through life there are
things that do not go the way we
would like or even expect, but we
must have the courage to continue on
and as Aristotle said “You will never do
anything in this world without
courage”.
We are all part of something bigger and we must have faith in the fact
that God has a plan for us all that is filled with optimism and joy.
Jeremiah 29:11 states “For I know the plans I have for you, declares
the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future.”
I wish you all a safe, restful school holiday period and I look forward to
seeing you next term, refreshed and ready for the new challenges the
term will bring. I leave you with one of my favourite quotes from
Winston Churchill
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue
that counts”.

Grandparents Day - 2015
This Friday the staff and students of Prince of Peace Lutheran College welcome their
Grandparents to our Junior and Senior Campuses. We look forward to treating our
Grandparents to a wonderful Musical Concert in the Chapel followed by some opportunities
to visit the students, their grandchildren in the classrooms. The Concert will begin at
8:40am and will feature the Junior and Senior Choirs, Recorder Ensemble, Honours Choir
and our Prep students. Morning Tea will be available from 10:15am both in the Year ½
Undercover Area and in the Prep Area.
As this is a very special day on our school calendar we ask that all students wear their
formal school uniform on this day in recognition of the special visitors we will be
welcoming. There will be no Interschool Sport Practice this Friday afternoon due to
Grandparents Day and Closing Chapel.
Closing Chapel
All parents and carers are invited to join us as we finish Term 3 with Closing Worship.
Chapel will begin at 2:00pm.
Swimming – Term 4
All students from Years 1-6 will be participating in block swimming lessons starting in Week
2, Term 4. Please refer to the email sent on behalf of the College this morning.
Year 3 Camp
Last Thursday and Friday saw our first overnight and off-campus Year 3 camp, and what a
great success it was! We all ventured off to the YMCA Camp North Pine, located within the
historical village of Old Petrie Town on the North Pine River. Our students tried their hands
at new and exciting activities like, damper-making in the traditional bake-house, initiative
team-building games and exploring schooling and life in the early last century of Australia.
We were very proud of the resilience and willingness of our young students as they spent
the night away from home with their peers. Much a gleeful giggle could be heard as the
lights went out!
Enormous thanks must go to the following groups of people: our Year 3 teachers and
support staff for all of their work in planning this adventure and their love of our students;
also the amazing parents that came and worked tirelessly and with great enthusiasm to
ensure we all had a great couple of days and the staff of YMCA Camp North Pine. Special
thanks must go to Mrs Jenell Molkentin who quietly works behind the scenes of all of our
camps to ensure our students have a wonderful time.
Allergy Awareness
Within our community, there is an increasing trend for children to have severe and often life
threatening reactions, otherwise known as anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock, to a number
of allergens. The most common of these tend to involve foods containing peanuts, nuts,
eggs, dairy products or seafood. However, whilst these reactions have often resulted from
ingestion of the food, there are more children now who can be affected by touching
something that has had traces of the allergen left on it, or even simply by the smell of the
food. This trend is also being witnessed at Prince of Peace where we currently have a
number of students throughout the school requiring an Epi-pen, a supply of epinephrine
(adrenaline), to be kept close at hand at all times in case an anaphylactic reaction occurs.
Unfortunately, it is never known when an anaphylactic reaction will result. The same
circumstances may create a mild reaction one day, but anaphylactic shock the next.

As a school community, we are concerned about the wellbeing and safety of all of our
students, so we are bringing this to your attention and request that careful consideration be
given to the food you might pack each day for morning tea and lunch.
What we ask is that all parents please have a conversation with their child about the
following items:
Not sharing their food with their friends at school
How to carefully dispose of rubbish
Hygiene matters – such as washing our hands carefully after eating
Good behaviours when eating such as not throwing or flicking our foods around, or
leaving them on the ground We thank you for your support and understanding of this decision as we seek to make
Prince of Peace a safe place for all.
Prep-Year Two Athletics Carnival
Last Friday saw our annual Prep-Year 2 Athletics Carnival. Organised and hosted by Mr Brad
Wooding, our students participated in a wonderful day of friendly competition, including
high jump, throwing activities and of course our pinnacle event the sprints. We would like to
extend a very warm thank you to Mr Wooding for his organisation and efforts and to our
Year 6 students and their teachers who assisted with the running of the day.
Important Information Relating to Class Placements for 2016
Most families across the school are aware of the cautious stance taken when inviting class
placement requests from families. I have children of my own and understand how lovely it
is for them to be placed with their ―nearest and dearest friends, or a preferred teacher that
their sibling may have had. I also realise how important it is for them to grow as individuals
and not be reliant on others for their academic and social successes. I encourage all
families, as we close the 2015 school year, to allow their children to grow spiritually,
emotionally, academically, and socially as they transition to their new class. I strongly
encourage parents to have faith in the judgments and insights that our staff have into
individual students and their school persona. I have the highest regard for the insights that
our teachers offer into the placement of students into the appropriate class for the following
year. I also have the highest regard for the quality and competency of each of our teaching
staff in their professional capacity as educators, and as such do not accept requests for
individual teachers. As you can appreciate, staff movement is also inevitable, and therefore
often such requests become redundant or once aligned with other parent requests, can
cancel each other out.
All students have unique gifts and needs. There are a few instances where-by the College
will seek input from particular families to ensure the most beneficial class placement for
individual students. This will be occurring in the coming 3-4 weeks. If you believe there is
an important consideration (that sits outside of friendship requests and teacher requests)
that needs to be taken into account when placing your child for 2016, please submit this
request in writing to the attention of Mrs Katrina Valencia. Such requests will be considered,
however, understandably, no guarantees can be assured. Please ensure that these requests
are submitted by Friday 16th October, 2015. Thank you for your assistance in ensuring the
complex process of class placements for the 2016 school year is attended to in a most
equitable, professional and integral manner.

Guiding Principles
As we approach the end of Term 3, we have much for which
we can be grateful. There have been many examples of our
guiding principles:
Excellence through honour – the way our Year 12 students
approached the QCS test and their final pieces of assessment, our students who have trialled at the Regional and District Athletics, our first Prince of Peace Senior
Campus debating team, our students who have presented worship, our students who have demonstrated strength of
character with their behaviour, attitude and effort.
Learning with Purpose – our Year 9 Enterprise Education class who had a small business at Pop In, our Year 9
Ubuntu class who are learning to work as a team as they develop their drumming skills, our Year 7 students who
have built gliders, our 11 students as they approached
service learning.
Growth through challenge – all our students who have
made progress this term, our Year 8 students who are developing their circus skills in readiness for the Musical,
our Year 10 students as they have grown as they have engaged with One Note or as they have considered their future subject choices, and our students who participated in
40hr Famine and raised $3000.
Home Economics
Over the holidays, our Home Economics facility will be started. The bulk of the work will be
completed during the break. We are very excited about the commencement of this project,
and look forward to checking out the progress in Term 4.
Australian Lutheran World Service Tour
Six Year 11 students (Hannah Yarnold, Laura Wilton, Jasmine McLeod, Jak Spiers, Nicholas
Telfer and Jonathan Southward) and one staff member, Mr John Low head off to Cambodia
as part of a Australian Lutheran World Service, Service Learning Tour. The Prince of Peace
group will join together with students from other Lutheran Schools to work with
communities in Kampong Chhnang and Aoral. This is the first time that Prince of Peace
students have engaged in an international service project. The students have spent the last
couple of months preparing for their visit. We wish them God’s richest blessings and safe
travels.
Well done Riley
We wish Riley Stent all the best as he travels to Japan to represent
Queensland as member of 15years Football team. This is a wonderful
opportunity for Riley to demonstrate excellence through honour and growth
through challenge.
Holiday Break
Thank you to our dedicated staff, for all their efforts this term. We wish them a well-
deserved break. We affirm our students for the way they have approached the challenges of
Term 3. You make us so proud. Thank you also to all our parents for their continued
support. We look forward to Term 4 and all the opportunities for continued growth and
development.

Dear Lord, Watch over our College community during the holiday break. Keep them safe in
your watchful gaze. May the holidays be a time for relaxation and recharging. Bless our
school community as we celebrate our holidays. We make this prayer through
Jesus our guardian. Amen.
Ubuntu
As part of the Year 9 Ubuntu course the classes have an opportunity to visit local Aged
Care Facilities. 9.1 visited Bellevue Care Centre and 9.2 visited Burnie Brae Respite Centre.
The visits have given the students a chance to chat to the residents about their teenage
years and get an idea of a lifestyle from the past which has aided them with their Lifestyle
assignment. It also has given us an opportunity to play some games with them. The
residents and students have really enjoyed playing games such as Uno, Jenga, Connect
Four, Master Mind, Snakes and Ladders and Dominoes. On our next visit we plan to
entertain the residents with some musical numbers.

Senior Worship Band leads Junior Campus Chapel
Last Friday, some of the students from Years 7 -12 were able to help lead Worship at the
Junior campus. The Senior Worship Band and a group of dancers introduced us to the new
‘Prince of Peace’ song. Later, the Chapel was filled with love as the Junior Campus students
enjoyed keeping balloons afloat throughout the song, ‘Testify to Love.’
Spring High Tea / Cricket
What a lovely way to finish a busy week –a game of cricket and a sausage sizzle or at a
High Tea with punch, an awesome variety of cakes and treats and fantastic coffee or a
combination of both. This is what our some of our College families from Years 5 – 12
enjoyed last Friday afternoon on the Senior Campus. It was terrific to be able to take some
time out of our busy lives and spend quality time together – even if some of the kids chose
to spend it with each other!
Have a happy and safe break – see you in Term 4.

Sherree Cudney Junior Campus Music [email protected]
New addition to the music department The Junior Campus music department recently welcomed a new
arrival in the shape of a beautiful, full-sized cello.
Josh McGill from 5F and his mother Jo approached Mrs Cudney
after a choir event to ask if the music department would be
interested in acquiring a cello. Josh’s mother Jo confirmed that the
family wanted to donate the cello to Prince of Peace.
“Mum plays a lot of musical instruments, but she hasn’t had time
to play the cello lately. She decided she would give it to the school
so it would be played and maybe someone new would get the
chance to give the cello a try,” said Josh.
Junior Campus Music Teacher Mrs Sherree Cudney said “This is an
exciting addition for us, and one that opens up many possibilities
about what we can do in the music department in the future.”
“On behalf of the music department and the Junior School, we
would like to say a very big thank you to the McGill family,” said
Mrs Cudney.

Interhouse Netball
Laver are our inaugural netball champions as they stormed to victory in the grand final last week. A
gallant Fraser outfit just couldn’t get the goals they needed to claim the crown. Bradman finished in
third place after a very even tussle with Jackson in the plate final play off.
Overall, Fraser have a 2 point lead in the standings (15pts) over Laver (13). Jackson hold 3rd place
presently (12pts) with Bradman a single point further back (11). With the final two events to be held
in Term 4 (Enduro Chess and Handball), any house can still take the grand prize.
P-2 Athletics Carnival
Our youngest athletes took to the oval on Friday and covered themselves in glory. As they putted,
sprinted, tugged and jumped their way around the oval they not only acquired a healthy glow and
heavy legs, but stickers and/or ribbons as reward for the wonderful efforts they put in.
A huge thank you goes to all the parents who supported us so willingly, to the teachers and aides
who marshalled their troops so well and to the fantastic Year 6 helpers who gave of their time to
support, encourage and coordinate activities.
Well done and thank you to all.
Interschool Sport
Interschool sport begins the first Friday of next term with our cricket, touch, futsal, volleyball and
gymnastics teams heading to various points to compete against other school teams from our district.
Most teams will wear a specific school sports shirt which will be distributed in time for the first game.
All support and/or assistance most welcome, please contact Mr Wooding at

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all
your strength…'Love your neighbour as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:28-31
The news has been swamped with sobering images of desperate and destroyed human lives these
past weeks. On the world stage we sit back and watch as millions of forcibly displaced people take
extreme measures and even risk their lives in the hope of a safe and secure future. Closer to home
the spotlight has been on the spate of lives lost and destroyed by acts of violence.
While the easy response is to sit back and watch the political game play out, perhaps call this leader
or that a fool, or commend those who agree with our idea of how best to manage these situations,
the inescapable fact of Christian living is that we have been called to a love in action. In a society
where we often don’t even know the names of our closest physical neighbours, our mindset seems
to be to retreat to the safety of our own homes and let someone else deal with it. And yet, with the
increase in domestic violence and fractured families, it seems that for some of us of our homes are
not that safe haven either.
What does love in action look like for you? Can you make a difference in your home today, in your
community today, in the world today through what you choose to say and do? My prayer for today is
that God’s people everywhere will be consumed by an awareness of God’s love and faithfulness to
them and that this love may consequently spill over into action so that Christians everywhere will be
known as those who use their lives to make a difference.
