Our Year 5 and Year 7 students were excited to head off on their annual camps on Monday. Thankfully the weather was kind to both groups as they enjoyed participating in the planned camp activities. There will be many stories shared with families from the three-day camp adventures.
There are many benefits to camp:
Development of independence skills - school camps can often be the first time a child is away from family and home for a few nights. They are also a great opportunity for children to learn independence skills as they have to organise their belongings, be ready for each activity and take on responsibilities as a team to complete daily chores.
Having a strong, positive relationship with the staff attending can assist in student’s classroom learning. It also gives teachers and students an opportunity to get to know each other outside of the classroom observing strengths sometimes not seen in school.
Helping develop a student's social skills - offer a great opportunity for students to develop a range of social skills. School camp activities tend to involve teamwork, which helps to strengthen established friendships and create new friendships by working with students they don’t regularly socialise with at school.
Development of decision-making skills – What should I wear? Do I follow the shower/bed routine I usually do at home? What can I do to make the camp a positive time for all? Teachers are not able to constantly watch over students at camp so children are able to make more of their own decisions and choices.
Building self-confidence – school camps offer students the opportunity to try new and different activities. They have qualified instructors and supportive teachers to help each student have a sense of achievement.
Students shared that they loved being out in nature, enjoyed being in cabins with their friends, loved the camp food and were excited about the different activities that you would not normally do.
A very big thank you to the staff who attended both camps this year. They know how important these are and welcome the opportunity to attend even if it takes them away from their families or regular activities. Plus Ultra!
Warm regards

Identity
Last week St Peters Indooroopilly was privileged to have Old Scholar, current parent, and Indigenous leader, Noel Pearson, address students and staff. The occasion was the end of Reconciliation Week, Mabo Day. This year is the 30th anniversary of the Mabo decision - a watershed moment, not just in terms of the High Court recognising native title, but also of Australia becoming surer of its national identity.
Identity was a recurring theme of Noel’s talk to the College. In his speech he acknowledged the central role St Peters Lutheran College and its teachers and pastors had played in helping him forge his sense of identity. Noel said, “I can only thank God for the blessings these elders gave me… St Peters is my spiritual home as I expect it to be for my children and you students.”
Noel acknowledged his elders, family, his Guugu Yimithirr people of far north Queensland, and his Christian faith formed through the Lutheran mission at Hopevale and boarding at St Peters College.
Noel indicated, “We don’t have a single identity. Our identity is multilayered and criss-crossed.” He went on to say that, “the delusion of a single identity is one of the biggest problems in the world today. We have multiple identities which band us close to one another and bridge us to those who would be strangers.”
In terms of our national identity as Australians, there is an aspect of our story that is unsettled and tentative. As a country, Noel argues that we have three stories.
The story of Indigenous people over 60 000 years.
The story of British institutions over 200 years
The story of multicultural migration over recent decades.
We need to bring these three stories of our Indigenous foundations, our British institutions, and our multicultural migration together.
Even though we hold our diverse identities, we will only be able to speak in the first person plural when there is a constitutional change that gives a voice to the first inhabitants of our country. The Uluru Statement from the Heart (https://ulurustatement.org) is a gracious invitation for all Australians to continue to strengthen our country’s journey towards reconciliation. A statement worth reading for all Australians, especially as our newly elected Prime Minister endorses it as a way forward for our nation.
Finally, echoing Noel’s words, our identity as a College, which is multi-layered like the people who make up our community, involves the work of God; who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18).

Wellbeing on Wellness Way
Productivity…
One of the messages that I took out of Dr Kristy Goodwin’s visit to SPLC was that our two biggest resources are our time and attention. So today I’m sharing five productivity tips to help refocus these resources.
I’m sure you can understand from a productivity perspective that there are days in your work or home life that you feel you accomplish less than what you set out to. Our teenagers are struggling with this too. With the amount of distractions they face that constantly steal their attention, they need help to step into productivity. These simple steps can help both you, and your young people, to use your time more effectively. It’s the only resource that we can’t get more of!
One of the myths I try often to debunk with teenagers when they say things, “I work well under pressure”, or “my best work is the night before things are due”… as grown humans, we know that this is empirically inaccurate. No author has ever written a best seller in one night, so we need to train our young people to commit to planning, focus and effort as keys to success in their futures. Enjoy.
Make to-do lists
It’s really important to take five minutes at the end of your day to note down your tasks for tomorrow. When you come into study or work the next morning, instead of the usual “where do I start”, you can get straight to your list and save some serious procrastination time.
Stay organised
Ring binders, electronic folders, post-it-notes and dividers should be your best friends at work. Organisation is key – the more organised your files and documents are, the more efficiently you’ll be working.
Take a break
Sitting staring at your computer for hours is not going to achieve anything. If you’re having a mind blank get up and take a break from your screen for five minutes. Go grab a drink or step outside and get some fresh air – it’ll make a big difference.
Eat frequently and well
Keep your brain properly fuelled with healthy foods throughout the day, for example fruit and nuts will keep your energy levels up better than a chocolate bar will – choose wisely to keep your productivity up.
Big rocks first
The biggest tasks tend to be the most time-consuming and difficult and we always tend to leave them until the last minute. Complete your big rocks first and then fill in the pebbles and sand around them by forward planning your week – leave your smaller tasks till later.

Cross-Cultural Connection with Sharon Lutheran School
Following a two-year pause due to COVID-19, last week Year 5 students resumed cross-cultural connections with our sister school in Hong Kong, Sharon Lutheran School (SLS). Via MS Teams, Year 5 students from each school shared information about their school, country, festivals and leisure activities.
With the goal of the program being to broaden students’ understanding of the world, they found it very interesting to learn about the similarities and differences between our two cultures. Some observations shared by students include:
Our school – St Peters Springfield students found it interesting to learn about the different facilities and programs at SLS, including the Crossing the Road Brigade and the BEE Program. P.5 from SLS were interested in hearing about the games we play during break times, and camps.
Our country – Some of our St Peters Springfield students would like to go to visit Hong Kong, to see the markets, Victoria Harbor and Disneyland. P.5 in Hong Kong were interested in learning about foods we eat, and Australian laws.
Festivals – While Australia and Hong Kong share several festivals, including Easter and Christmas, Hong Kong celebrates a number of unique celebrations, such as the Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn Festivals.
Leisure Activities – This was the area where students found the most similarities between the two countries, with common games played being Uno, board games and gaming devices. Hong Kong also shared some of their more traditional games, including origami and string games.
We look forward to continuing our connection with Sharon Lutheran School.

Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod
Originating in Wales in 1176, eisteddfodau are traditionally a competition-based festival. It is a natural showcase for music, dance, literature and visual arts.
Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod Society run three eisteddfod each year – Music, Dance and Speech and Drama.
Recently some of our St Peters ensembles and soloists participated in the Music section. Ensembles have been recognised in a previous Cornerstone.
Notable mention goes to these soloists for achieving awards:
Bernie D – 8 Years, Boys and Girls Vocal – First place
Janya D – 9 Years, Girls Vocal – Third place
Janya D – 9 Years, Musical Theatre – Very Highly Commended
What Is Healthy Competition?
Meredith Connie is an Australian teacher specialising in Suzuki Method and Alexander Technique, a performer and composer. In her article, “An Exploration of Competition”, Connie explores the notion of healthy competition, and considerations in creating this atmosphere. She believes that competition is a driving force for self-betterment. We observe others around us performing certain tasks and desire the same level of competence.
Healthy competition can loosely be defined as the “interaction between individuals that promotes and fosters striving for higher achievements yet creates an environment where everyone in the group hopes that everyone will do well, rather than wish that others fail”.
It is a constant juggling act to find the balance between being supportive of your peers and achieving person excellence. It is important to find this balance to create performers who are self-confident, comfortable and secure in their abilities and who enjoy sharing music with others. Striving to do well without the destructive wish to seem better through the failure of fellow competitors is a characteristic worth striving for.
Finding a balance between being supportive of peers and achieving personal excellence is difficult and will always be under negotiation. For teachers, this is about supporting students through setting up expectations for interactions to maintain positivity – not criticising, talking over or belittling fellow competitors. The social interactions of the Music classroom are also important in establishing ground rules for healthy competition. Music songs, games and dances that involve games with winners (eg “Money and Key”), passing or swopping (“Button You Must Wander”) and leaders (“Engine Number Nine”) are important tools in introducing the concept of healthy competition. It teaches students to wait their turn and accept others in leading positions. These concepts are also transferable to instrumental tasks.
At the base of constructive competition is the wish to create a beautiful heart where everyone is recognised for their strengths and gifts, and we can all flourish together in a spirit of mutual respect and support. In the words of Meredith Connie, “we make the world a better place through our love of music, … and by consciously creating within our students and ourselves, … a place where everyone can succeed”.

While it has been cold over the past couple of days it has been fantastic to have girls on the water consistently. The improvements have been significant because of this consistency, and I would like to encourage families to please keep up the on water attendance as we move into camp. Can I please remind families to notify me of any absences, no communication significantly affects the ability for coaches to put full crews on the water, as plans cannot be made.
A few updates as we head into the final weeks of the term and camp.
