Funding for schools

As we head towards

the Federal elecon

scheduled for later this

year, the debate on

funding for all schools

rages in the media and

at Parliamentary level.

The Commonwealth

Government

commissioned a review

of funding for schools and

appointed Mr David Gonski to chair the Review.

The ndings were handed down in 2012 and the

Government responded later in that year.

The issues for parents to consider are clear:

The quadrennium arrangements to fund schools

nished at the end of 2012. The Government

extended this arrangement for one more year;

however, there is now no certainty about what

this signicant funding for St Peters will look like

beyond the end of 2013. Any new arrangement

requires a bill to pass through the Parliament

and we are all acutely aware that in this elecon

year, there are very few parliamentary sings

days le.

The Commonwealth Government has stated that

‘no school will lose a dollar ’; however, there is no

undertaking that funds will be indexed to keep

up with inaon in the years ahead.

The ‘Gonski Review’ determined that an

addional $6bn would be required to introduce

a more equitable funding arrangement for all

schools – it remains unclear as to how and when

this total sum will be apporoned to schools and

students through future funding arrangements.

It is important that parents monitor this debate,as any outcome will have a direct impact on fee

levels going forward.

Parent support groups

During the course of last week, I had the

privilege of joining the Music Parent Support

Group for their rst social funcon of 2013.

I encourage parents to be involved with the

various groups across the College. They not only

provide some funding support for a variety of

acvies, but more importantly, the ‘group’ is

both a friendraising and an informaon sharing

opportunity that is highly eecve for parents

whose children have an interest in a specic

acvity. Thank you to those parents who take on

leadership roles and give their energy to these

very worthwhile support bodies.

Kind regards

Mr A. Wiles

Head of College

What am I worth?In our culture there seems to be a grading system

of worth. If you do a Google search you will nd

a dollar value next to people’s names. Forbes

Magazine (2012) tells us that Mark Zuckerberg,

mastermind behind the Facebook iniave isworth $17.5 billion US dollars, Bill Gates ranks

number 1 at $66 billion dollars while the likes

of Oprah Winfrey only ranks number 151 witha worth of $2.7 billion US dollars. In a world

where we have children living on less than $1a day (while Kim Kardashian hold a wedding

cosng $10 million dollars in a marriage thatonly lasts 72 days) we can’t help but queson,“What are we really worth?”

During the recent holidays I spent Christmas and

New Year’s Eve volunteering in an orphanage

in Uganda. I learned many valuable lessons and

have countless stories that sll challenge and

encourage me. While in Africa I was speaking

to a woman name Judith, and throughout our

conversaon we stumbled upon the topic of

worth. Judith was abducted as part of Kony’sarmy, the LRA, and was forced to sell herself to

men in order to keep her life. While in a place of

heartbreak and desperaon she felt worthless.

As a result of what she had been through she

felt as though she was less than dispensable. The

way she was treated was inhumane and she was

told she was nothing. Despite all this she held

onto her belief that her worth was the same as

every other person on this planet. I asked her

to explain: She told me a parable. If she were to

take a 20 000 Ugandan Shilling note, scrunch it

up, wet it, drop it in the mud, what would it be

worth? I proceeded to answer, ’20 000 Ugandan

Shillings.’ Then, if she were to go to the bank,

get a brand new 20 000 Ush note, what would

it be worth? Once again, the answer was 20 000

Ugandan Shillings. Judith then went on to explain

that, no maer what we have gone through, the

troubles we face, the horric things that may

occur in this life, to God we are all worth the

same.

This noon seems incomprehensible in today’s

day and age. We have distorted the way in

which we treat not only others but ourselves. If

someone was to abduct Prince William or Harry,

what would the ransom be? In the millions I

suspect, if not more. However, every 26 seconds

a child is abducted sent into a life of slavery.

What ransom is being paid for them? I feel as

though the government would do everything

within its power to rescue a ‘Prince’. But what

about the children?

1st Timothy 2:5-6 says, “For there is one God and

one mediator between God and mankind, the

man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransomfor all people.” Christ has paid the ransom for all

people. We are all children of God worth equal

in His eyes. Just like the 20 000 Shillings, every

single person is worth the same. Imagine a world

where this was believed and lived out. We can

be the world. Believe in your own worth. And

help others to see that they are worth the world

to God.

CURRICULUM MATTERS

AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING

This year all Prep to Year 10 English, Mathemacs, Science and History will

be assessed and reported against the Australian Curriculum Standards.

Years 8-10

As the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporng Authority

(ACARA) standards are based on an enre folio of student work collectedthroughout the whole year, the mid-semester reports (end of Term 1

and Term 3) will provide an indicaon of student progress at that me

in relaon to the standard on a ve point scale A-E, not an achievement

standard as provided for other subjects. Detailed comments will be

provided at mid and end of year only.

Middle School Mathemacs Assessment (Deb Batchelor – Acng P-7Curriculum Coordinator)

In line with the requirements of the Australian Curriculum, in the Middle

School there has been a signicant change in the way that the children’s

Mathemacal understanding is being assessed. In the past, the children’s

knowledge of a Mathemacal concept has been assessed within familiar

situaons and their nal percentage equated to a grade. The children

oen performed well in these tests and received A’s and B’s. However,the Australian Curriculum achievement standards state that a child who

can apply the taught Mathemacal concepts within familiar situaons is

working at the expected level, which equates to a C.

In order to enable those students who are working above the expected

year level standard to demonstrate their ability, the Mathemacs tests

will include tasks which assess their ability to apply their knowledge and

understanding of a parcular concept in unfamiliar situaons. The students

will no longer receive a percentage, but will be given a grade.

The process is on-going, so if your child does not perform to year level

expectaons in one task, there is further opportunity in subsequent tasks

for the student to improve their grade for that concept. Throughout the

year the teachers will monitor your child’s progress in the classroom as well

as through formal tesng in order to give a nal achievement grade at the

end of the year. They will also communicate with you regarding your child’sprogress should the need arise.

Liz Garre Junior School Music Co-ordinator

BuddiesAn opportunity arose for non-prefect Year

12 students to show that seniors without an

ocial leadership role can sll be leaders of our

College. This happened for a number of our Year

12’s when they chose to visit the Junior School

to meet with a year level for a short me and

support the work of the classroom teachers.

Even with the inclement weather, they were

able to entertain the younger students through

reading with them or guiding them through

some work the teachers had prepared.

Both sets of students gave posive feedback

about their experiences and are keen to develop

this project further in the coming months.

Anna Brouwers and Anna-Chrisna Davila (Year

12) summed up the experience

“On Tuesday morning, 5 March, a selecon

of Year 12’s made the journey down the hill to

visit the Junior School. We found them grouped

around books, eagerly awaing our arrival. They

greeted us excitedly and were very cute. We read

with kids from the Junior School and then played

games with the year 4’s. I always remember

thinking I was much bigger when I was in year

4! The fracon work actually tested me. Now we

have actually met with the Year 4’s and other

students from the Junior School, we truly realise

that we are the leaders of the school and relish in

the opportunity to be role models and mentors.”

Year 6 NewsWith less than a week before we leave for camp, the Year 6 students’

excitement levels are geng high. With the current wet weather we’re

having, please ensure students have a raincoat or poncho included in their

bags, as well as a few garbage/plasc bags to put potenally wet clothes

in. Please remember that students must also have a spare pair of shoes

that will get wet while they are worn during kayaking. The campsite has

informed us that shoes such as Crocs are not suitable for this as they are

not totally enclosed. An old pair of sneakers is perfect or a cheap pair ofshoes from somewhere such as K-Mart will do just ne.

We are also geng to the me in the term where assessment items are

becoming more frequent. Next week we will have a History test on our

unit about Federaon. This is an open book test and will involve students

applying their knowledge of topics covered in class in various ways. One

example of this is the interpretaon of polical cartoons and posters from

that era. We have been working on these in class and students have been

emailed sample cartoons which may be used to help them pracce these

skills. If your child is confused about this or other assessment items, we

encourage them to approach their relevant teacher early in the assessment

process to minimise any stress that may arise.

Year 7 News

On Thursday, 28th of February

2013, the Middle School

Leadership Team was driven

to South Bank for the GRIP

Leadership Conference at the

Brisbane Convenon Centre. We

felt so important and grown up!

We were introduced to the presenters, Andy and Mason. They explained

that there would be a series of challenges and games in order to mingle

with the other leaders and to learn about how we could enhance our

leadership qualies and skills and determine what sort of leader we are.

We were also shown a dierent interpretaon of ‘Heads, Shoulders, Kneesand Toes.’ The day was a total success and we very much appreciated

the company of Mrs Curn and Miss Casey who took care of us at the

conference; and of course we thank Mr Bygraves who drove us to the

conference and back. The Leadership team is ready for 2013. Bring it on!

8/128 // THE ROCK 07 MAR 13

Tips for parents of Year 8 studentsIs your child overwhelmed and feeling stressed? Is organisaon a problem? Do they have trouble

starng their work? Are they able to priorise? Are they red and lacking sleep? (9.25 hours per

night is recommended for this age group) Do they have diculty geng their thoughts on paper

even though you know they know the content? Are they doing too much? (They simply can’t t it in!)

Students at this age sll need signicant structure to manage their workloads. Most are unable to

organise themselves. Telling them what to do will not x the problem. They will require someone to

sit with them, help them get organised and will oen need someone to assist them to get startedwith their work.

If you are interested in nding out ways to support your child further you may like to check out our

new Year 8 Pastoral Care page on the College’s Learning Management System. This page is designed

specically for Year 8 students and includes important informaon discussed in form class me with

form class teachers. I recommend the ‘Wall Planner’ and ‘Organisaon’ pages for further ps and

suggesons. There is also a ‘Parent Informaon’ page with great suggesons and ideas for use at

home.

Over the next couple of weeks many assessment items will be due. To encourage your child’s learning

please monitor them during homework and study mes and contact their form teacher, or myself, if

you require some extra assistance.

Year 9 NewsAer much ancipaon, Year 9 2013 Ironbark

briengs began. In a urry of nerves and

excitement, students in AB form classes had

their brieng this week. These briengs are

an invaluable part of the Ironbark experience.

Ironbark Director Mr Mahew Sullivan spoke

with the students about what to expect on

their upcoming Ironbark Journey. The 9ABCD

Parent Evening was also held on Tuesday Night.

Parents of ABCD Ironbark group who missed

the Informaon Evening will have their booklets

posted to them. Your booklets contain packing

lists and medical forms – an electronic copy will

also be placed on the Year 9 page of the portal.

Assessment for Year 9 students is building and

students are reminded to ensure that they are

keeping on top of their workloads. If your child is

struggling to meet the demands of the courses,

we have a number of support systems in place

here at St Peters and I encourage you and your

child to approach me to assist with this. The

assessment calendar is looking full from next

week unl the end of term. Please keep checking

your child’s diary and wall planner usage to assist

them in managing their me at home.

Year 9 Coordinator

YEAR 12 BUDDY PROGRAM

As part of being a senior leader it is important to

have opportunies that allow students to engage

in experiences that will make a dierence to

someone else in a posive way. Although theopportunies are limited for our busy

Year 12 students to interact with younger

students, it was not that surprising that the

30 seniors, who visited the Junior School

today during form me have come away with

overwhelming feelings of excitement. This week

is the start of our Year 12 Buddy Program where

senior volunteers will spend the rst 30 minutes

of their day interacng with students from years

1 to 4. This will be followed up by a third of the

senior cohort meeng the year 8 students on the

18 March also during form me. It is hoped that

this program will connue to strengthen these

connecons throughout the year so that the

senior students’ nal farewell will be even morespecial for those who have taken the me to be

part of something special.

Mrs Gagen

Year 12 Coordinator

Senior Resource CentreDuring the week we brought

to the aenon of students

World Read Aloud Day which

will be celebrated on 6 March.

World Read Aloud Day is a

day to connect with another

person through the joy of

reading together. 793 million adults – two thirds

of them women – lack basic reading and wring

skills. Included in this stasc are 127 million

youth aged 15-24 (UNESCO, 2009). In Booksurf

lessons the Year 8 and 9 students were given

me to read to each other and to realise the

importance of global literacy, marking this week

as a special week of reading. Imagine a world

where everyone can read...

// SENIOR SCHOOL// JUNIOR HIGH

Reminder!

The school day begins at 8.05am for Junior High.

A warning bell sounds at 8.00am and students

are expected to be at class by 8.05am.If students arrive aer this me they are

DRAMA WEEK 201325 February -1 MarchUnfortunately, some of the acvies for Drama week were limited due to the

rain this year. However students enjoyed being involved in a range of events.

Tuesday – students came down to D9/10 to make a carnival mask.

their performance skills in their presentaon of ‘Love and Death Scenes’ byWilliam Shakespeare.

around in role as restoraon characters in costume giving out compliments.

The Theatre Sports team led by Lexie Ashby and Georgia Gates entertained

students from all years giving them a taste of some of the Theatre Sports

games. We were extremely impressed by the condence and skill of some

of the younger performers in Year 8. Students can sll come along and

parcipate in some Theatre Sports games on Friday lunchmes in D9/10.

There are two teams this year that will be compeng in the Youth Theatre

AIC Round 5 xtures will take place against St

Laurence’s College this weekend. All Volleyball

xtures and Under 13, under 14 and 1 st XI cricket

will be played at SPLC. All other open cricket

will be played at St Laurence’s venues (check

draw for further details). It is important that all

cricket players check the wet weather line and

Sports House for training/game informaon this

week. It was unfortunate that all cricket games

were washed out against St Edmund’s last week,

however volleyball xtures went ahead. The 1 st

VI volleyball team remain undefeated and this

week will play in the top of the table clash with

SLC. I strongly encourage all SPLC community

members to support this team on Saturday at

2pm in the gymnasium.

The AIC Swimming Championships occur this

Thursday the 7th of March. Aer winning the AIC

Championship in 2012, SPLC will have to produce

outstanding results to again defeat our rivals

Marist College Ashgrove, who are again looking

strong this year. I wish all the AIC team the best

of luck for Thursday. Come on boys, you can doit!!

Rugby and Football pre-season training for

students in years 8-12 connues and occurs on

Wednesday, from 3:30 unl 5:00pm. This will

connue for the remainder of the term. Football

will be on Stolz Oval and the Indooroopilly State

High School Ovals and Rugby will be on Mayer

Oval. Rugby also have another session on Friday

morning on Mayer oval from 6:30-7:30am. It is

important the players communicate with their

coordinator during wet weather sessions. SPLC

will always try and do something with players if

wet weather is occurring.

All players wishing to play rugby or footballshould complete pre-season training. This

pre-season training will assist SPLC Term 2 sport.

Rugby players are reminded of the Rugby Camp

on Wednesday the 27th to Friday the 29th of

March at the conclusion of Term 1. This will be

the rst rugby camp for SPLC and all players are

required to aend. The rugby coordinator is Mr

Lath Stewart ([email protected])

and the football coordinator is Mr Fady Ibrahim

([email protected]).

Any student who has missed the sign-ons

for rugby, football and chess can sll sign on

at Sports House in the coming weeks. It is

important to note that students who cannot

take part in pre-season training due to another

commitment (e.g. term 1 sport, music etc) must

sll sign on if they would like to play a term 2

sport.

St Peters, Volleyball. Under 14yrs, div. “B”

The game on Saturday was an intense game. The

rst set was to St Edwards (our opponents) and

the second set was to us. So it was a nal rally to

see who would claim victory. St Peters won in the

end. The team won because our training really

showed in the game. The communicaon was

up and Toms voice you could hear from outside,

clearly. Thanks to the moral support of the “A”

team we felt stronger. Another thanks to Dougie

and Luke for helping us in the game.
