Embracing Growth and Positivity: A Reflection on My First Two Weeks
As I reflect on my initial two weeks at Springfield, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead. In this short time, I have observed numerous heartwarming moments that have left a lasting impression on me. These observations have not only offered insight into the vibrant community here but have also provided an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery.
One of the most inspiring aspects of my experience so far has been witnessing the children's communication and positive interactions with one another. It is truly heartening to see how they engage in respectful and uplifting conversations, creating an atmosphere of kindness and empathy within the school. During all the learning and growth, I have also observed moments of children animatedly chatting with their teachers. These connections go beyond just academic discussions; they exemplify the strong bonds formed between educators and students, allowing for open communication and support.
The commitment to continuous improvement and professional growth is evident in the way the staff actively engage in professional learning conversations. Their dedication to honing their skills and staying up-to-date with the latest educational practices is truly commendable and contributes to the nurturing learning environment at Springfield. This week the announcement of the IBO PYP journey is a testament to their commitment to growth. The PYP focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in school and in the world beyond.
P&F Star Gazing evening was a perfect end to the week. It was a pleasure to meet so many families as they enjoyed seeing what really is in outer space.
I am looking forward to continuing these connections the throughout the semester.

SPYGT
Every good gift and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights. James 1:17
St Peters You’ve Got Talent (SPYGT) has been in full swing at the Indooroopilly campus this last week. Auditions have been happening at lunchtime in the Performing Arts Centre with the finale happening on Friday evening July 28. Students are staff alike are abuzz with excitement at the performances. There’s nothing like a Talent Show to get people talking and appreciating the ability of unknown members of your community. And just like any talent show on television, it is a thrill for an audience to witness a person’s creative skill and ability.
However, it takes guts for the lone boy to get on stage and sing the solo. It takes guts for the girls who have choreographed and practised their dance moves to do it seamlessly when the moment counts. It takes guts to perform in front of your peers not knowing what their response will be. Sitting in some of these lunchtime auditions has made me marvel at the talent and confidence these students have that I certainly did not when I was their age.
Watching students reveal their talent on the big stage under lights made me think of this verse from James; "every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights." Every good creative gift we have is from God our Creator. Our ability to be creative, to perform and to use our artistic gifts and talents is itself a gift from the one who created us. These gifts that we all have reflect the creativity of God. And they are good. They are good and perfect coming from the Father of lights. Now a person can dispute that not every performance in a talent show is perfect but certainly, every performance is a reflection in some way of our creator, our heavenly Father, who is the giver of all light and life in the world.
That’s the beauty of being in a community, of coming together at times like SPYGT or whatever performance it is, when we can uncover and celebrate the gifts and talents God has given to us. Some talent has been well-practised and fine-tuned, and some talent is raw and needs more work. Whatever the gift we have been given, it is a God-pleasing thing when we learn to use it for the good and benefit of our community. When we can celebrate whatever level of performance and whatever level of talent knowing that the individual has courageously shared this for the sake of our community. Sharing every good gift within our St Peters community is a great thing coming down from the Father of Lights.

Arise Lutheran Community Church
Arise is a Lutheran community that meets at St Peters, Springfield. It’s a place where you can come to know God’s love through Jesus, and find light and hope for your life, and connect with other families from St Peters and the wider community.
In our service you will hear God’s word, sing, pray and share in Holy Communion if you want to. There’s a message for the kids too.
We have been alerted by banking institutions through Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) of an increase in scammers targeting parents in reference to school fees.
The scammer may contact parents directly masquerading as a staff member from the College and offer a large percentage reduction in school fees if they are paid over the phone immediately. Payment of school fees is either through the College Portal or via BPAY as per the School Fee Invoice. The College will never instruct Parents or Caregivers to direct deposit into a Bank Account number.
It is important to be vigilant in accepting calls from unknown sources and giving out bank details or payments to unscrupulous or unidentified callers.
If in doubt regarding payment of school fees, please contact the Finance Department on 3470 3888 to clarify any information which appears inconsistent with the College’s usual payment mechanisms.

MMG Survey
As part of our continuous improvement process, we once again wish to provide opportunities for our Years 5 - 12 students across the Indooroopilly and Springfield campuses, to provide us with informed feedback relating to their views of their schooling experience.
The research is being conducted by MMG Education, a specialist education consultancy that works with schools in the areas of school strategic reviews and stakeholder satisfaction. MMG’s client schools include many schools across Australia.
Students will be completing their questionnaires in Week 4 (Monday 31 July - Friday 4 August).
At the conclusion of the research period, MMG Education will provide the College with a report. All responses will be de-identified and the data reported back will be in aggregate form only. We will then provide opportunities for members of the College community to receive feedback from the research.
If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact the Head of College office hoc@stpeters.qld.edu.au.

Dear Parents, Guardians and Caregivers
We wish to assure you that planning at the College is well underway to ensure effective educational programs, staffing and administration at our school in 2024. To assist us with finalising details it is important that the College is aware of our expected student numbers.
My child will continue as a student at St Peters Springfield in 2024
There is no requirement for the families of students who will remain at the College in 2024 to contact us. Unless the Principal or Enrolments Office receives specific written advice from you that your child is leaving at the end of 2023, we will assume your child’s enrolment will continue and as such, their place at school in 2024 is secured. Therefore, families who will remain at St Peters into 2024 do not need to take any action.
My child will leave St Peters Springfield at the end of 2023
We do wish to remind families that, as per the terms of your enrolment contract, if you do not intend for your child to remain a student of St Peters in 2024, you need to advise us in writing before the start of Term 4 2023. Whilst we would very much appreciate your advice as soon as you are able, the final date for acceptance of notice without penalty (term’s fees in lieu of notice) will be Monday 23 October 2023. Please note that there can be no flexibility with regard to this contractual requirement due to the high demand for places at the College.

French Puppet Show
We are thrilled to report the wonderful success of our recent French puppet show incursion, 'Aladin et la Lampe Magique'. Our Years 4 - 6 students were thoroughly engaged with this delightful bilingual presentation. The event perfectly mixed education with entertainment, deepening the students' understanding of the French language and culture. We were particularly proud of the children's 'plus ultra' behaviour; their exemplary conduct was clearly noted by the performers. The students' attentiveness and positive participation truly exemplified our school values. It was heartening to see their enjoyment while absorbing the linguistic and cultural benefits of this unique performance. Such experiences highlight our commitment to cultivating well-rounded students. Thank you for your continued support in these enriching endeavours.

Elevate Education
Last week, our senior students engaged in their Term 3 Elevate Education program. Year 11 students completed the Time Management workshop to help them develop prioritisation and organisation skills that will optimise academic achievement and balance wellbeing. Year 12 students completed the Ace Your Exam workshop to support them in preparation for their Mock Exam in Week 9 of Term 3 and QCAA External Exams commencing in Week 4 of Term 4.
I encourage you to speak with your child about their Elevate Education experience. You might ask them which of their current learning habits have been affirmed and/or what ideas they now have to optimise their approach to learning.
Should you be interested in finding out more or supporting the development of your child’s independent learning routines, visit the Elevate Education website for a wealth of free resources available to parents.

Academic Coaching
Year 12 students are currently completing their second round of Academic Coaching. At Academic Coaching sessions, Year 12 students:
Are guided to strategically set goals with an aim to improve their learning progress.
Engage in a coaching conversation about effective learning dispositions and habits.
Receive and reflect upon an ATAR indication.
Students keep a record of their Academic Coaching conversation, which they should display somewhere prominent in their home study space. I recommend you discuss Academic Coaching with your child to learn more about their goals and support them in concretising habits or routines.

AIC Boys Sport
“There may be people that have more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do” – Derek Jeter.
With Round 1 of AIC Basketball and Tennis now complete, we turn our focus to this coming weekend where St Peters will compete against St Laurence’s College in Round 2. Our senior teams will be playing at Home whilst our junior teams will be Away at St Laurence’s.
Our First and Seconds Basketball and Tennis will play Friday night in what should be a rocking evening of Basketball and Tennis.
Special mention must go to all our Year 7 - Open AIC Tennis teams who walked away from Round 1 with wins. It was great to hear about and witness the enthusiasm and pride our tennis players competed with.
Equally, it was also sensational to watch our First V Basketball team compete so vigorously in a tightly contested game against St Edmund’s College First V. St Peters finished strongly in the third and fourth quarters to come away with a solid win. Congratulations to all our Tennis and Basketball teams for their determination and enthusiasm in Round 1. For St Peters, it has definitely been a great start to Term 3 AIC sport.
Last week, St Peters also nominated over 90 students to compete at the Northern Eagle District Track & Field Trials at QSAC. St Peters athletes were extremely impressive both on and off the field of play. We now have many of these athletes selected into the Northern Eagles District team to compete at the up and coming Metropolitan West Regional Trials. Congratulation to the St Peters athletes who also broke one or several Northern Eagles District Records in their respective events.

Congratulation on Representative Honours
Congratulations to Luca N who has been selected in an emerging talent Baseball team that will tour the US in late August. Luca has had a stellar year on the baseball diamond. Apart from winning his club premiership with Windsor Royals and the Queensland State Title representing Brisbane Metro, Luca competed in the Australian Baseball Championships in Adelaide mid-year. Luca also travelled to Cairns to compete in the Queensland U14 State Championships where he won the Tournament MVP, Batting Award and was selected in the Queensland Team.
In recognition of his performances, he was subsequently selected for the Brisbane Bandits Youth Academy and also the Baseball Queensland U16 Development Squad. Luca is hoping to make the Queensland U16 Baseball Team to contest the National titles in January 2024. His aim is to make the Australian U16 team in the next 24 months so his selection of this tour is strong recognition that his performances to date have been noticed and he is on the right path. Congratulations Luca!

Rhythmic Gymnastics Open Team Shirt Presentation
With one more training session to go before the RG Championships on Friday 4 August, we wish you all the best with your final preparations.
Last night to continue the Girls Sport tradition, Mr Kotzur and Mrs Delaney presented the Open Girls with their Rhythmic Gymnastics Open team shirt. When presenting to the girls, Mr Kotzur spoke about the honour of representing St Peters at the highest level and the role models they are to our younger students. He also spoke about our motto, ’Plus Ultra’ and striving for ever higher to give their all to inspire others in their respective sports.
We thank Mr Kotzur and Mrs Delaney for joining us last night and for supporting the girls, I think they were very impressed with their fabulous routines!

WINTER FIXTURES - NETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, HOCKEY & TENNIS
Round 2 v Moreton Bay College was a round of mixed results. It began on Friday night with our Tennis Girls enjoying playing under the amazing new lights on Lohe Street Courts to win all age groups. Our Hockey Girls came away with two losses, but the Open team put on an unbelievable display to go down to the powerhouse of Moreton Bay College by one point. The Junior team were beaten but there was a lot of learning had by all. Volleyball and Netball fought hard across all age groups, with some tough losses but some great wins. The Open Volleyball team didn’t have it all their own way but ended up winning in three sets. Open Netball fought hard, but the quality opposition made it hard going down by 10.
Round 3 this Saturday we play Clayfield College and some Brisbane Girls Grammar No. 2 teams across all sports playing in the Clayfield draw.
Please watch for communication from your respective sport coordinators and keep an eye on the St Peters App for the weekly draws. Please ensure you arrive on time and in the correct uniform to prepare for your games. Good luck to all teams.
Reminder - Communicate with your coordinator if unable to attend a training session or a game. Early communication particularly for a game is very important.
Attendance at training across our sports has at times been poor, and there has been no communication from many girls. It is important as we continue to work on building culture in our programs that girls/families understand attendance at training is expected. Of course, we understand missing some training sessions are not avoidable but where possible please arrange appointments outside training times.
Date Claimers:
Round 3: Saturday 29 July v Clayfield College (Home) Round 4: Saturday 5 August v Somerville House (Away) Round 5: Saturday 12 August v Brisbane Girls Grammar School (Home) Round 6: Saturday 19 August v St Aidan’s (Away) Round 7: Saturday 26 August v Brisbane State High School (Home) Round 8: Saturday 2 September v Ipswich Girls' Grammar School (Away) Round 9: Saturday 9 September v St Hilda’s (Home)
In Round 2, our fixtures were played across three venues. Our 10B2 and Senior C2 teams which play in the St Aidan’s draw, had games against Brisbane State High School. Despite having only seven players due to illness, the 10B2 team fought hard throughout the four quarters and ended the game with a draw. The Senior C2 team took some time to find their rhythm but made positional changes at halftime, which helped them pull away and secure a solid win.
Meanwhile, the 10B1 team travelled to UQ and faced the Brisbane Girls Grammar 10B3 team. They displayed dominance in the game, achieving a resounding victory with a score of 91 - 4.
For our remaining teams, playing at Moreton Bay College on a cold Saturday morning is always challenging. In the first round of games, our 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 10A, and Senior B teams had tough matchups. The 7A game was particularly intense, with both teams going goal for goal. Although we fought hard and came close, we lost by just one goal.
The 10A team with its revamped lineup, the injury-affected 8A team and the 8B team playing their first game of the season all faced challenging matches and ended up going down. However, the Senior B and 7B teams managed to secure wins, which was great to see.
Round 2 saw the Open Team take the court, they were defeated by the highly skilled Moreton Bay College team. Additionally, the 9B, Senior A and 8C teams also took the court, with the Senior A and 9B teams securing their second consecutive victories, and the 8C team putting up a good fight in their first game of the season.
Looking ahead to Round 3, we wish our teams playing against Clayfield College/BGGS2 teams and our Senior C2 team playing Ipswich Girls' Grammar all the best for Saturday. It will be great to see the 9C team take the court for their first game of the season.
Congratulations to our Round 2 Award Winners, our on court ‘GEMS’! 😊
Round 3 Draw v Clayfield College / BGGS: Saturday 29 July – Please CLICK HERE for the draw.
Date claimer: Vicki Wilson State Championships – Friday 4 & Saturday 5 August
Due to the Vicki Wilson Final Series being played on Saturday 4 August, the Round 4 v Somerville House games for the 8A, 9A & Open teams will be rescheduled to Monday 14 August, further details to follow.
A big well done to the Opens team who fought hard for 60 minutes to narrowly lose 3 - 2. Moreton Bay have been one of the major Hockey schools for many years, so to put up such a fight was impressive. Juniors had a tougher assignment on Field Five, but impressively let in half of the goals they conceded in the first half. The girls learnt quickly that you need to be aggressive and physical against strong opposition, and they certainly did that better in the second half.
This weekend we are scheduled to play Clayfield College, but they only have one team in the Senior division, meaning our Opens and Junior teams are on a bye.
I look forward to seeing you on Thursday at training so we can continue to build our skills in preparation for Round 4.

BSRA Regatta #3 – St Peters Hosting Saturday 5 August
The 2023 BSRA Regatta #3 is on Saturday 5 August and is being hosted by the St Peters Rowing Parent Support Group.
Hosting this event is a large undertaking where the St Peters Rowing program organises and takes all profits from the catering of this event. It is anticipated that more than 2500 people will attend this regatta. The hosting of this event is a large logistical undertaking facilitated by the Rowing Parent Support Group to ensure we take full advantage of this fundraising opportunity. Please could I ask all families to make themselves available to assist with bake sale items, lolly bags and drink donations the week before the Regatta and to plan to be at the Regatta on Saturday 5 August to help.
A big thank you to Mr Kotzur and Mrs Delaney for presenting the Opens teams with their official Open shirts last night. I know the girls were thrilled to receive these.
