In last week’s Cornerstone lead article, our Head of Secondary Years —Mr Dominic Piacun—reflected upon the ways in which adopting a ‘benefit’ mindset can positively influence a community. It boosts compassion, enhances connectedness and improves wellbeing. Over the past few weeks, it has been wonderful to see students embracing benefit mindsets with gusto. During yard conversations, students have described to me their commitments to nurture their relationships, to be more open-minded, and to contribute to others’ success.
This term, secondary learners have not only been challenged to adopt a benefit mindset—they have also been encouraged to adopt ‘tiny habits’. For instance, the Year 11 cohort are currently creating individual Term 3 Learning Plans, including the development of SMART goals with accompanying tiny habits.
What, you might ask, are tiny habits?
James Clear, author of international best seller Atomic Change: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results, introduces tiny habits with the contention that, “Goals are good for setting direction, but systems are best for making progress. You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems” (2018). In simple terms, systems can be defined as our habits (those behaviours repeated so many times they become automatic). Success, then, is the product of daily habits, those which become routine.
We all know, though, that introducing or changing a habit is hard. How do you do it successfully? Well, according to social scientist BJ Fogg, what you don’t do is test the resolve of your motivation and willpower (both of which are notoriously unreliable) by committing to difficult habits.
If you start with a big behaviour that’s hard to do, the design is unstable; it’s like a large plant with shallow roots. When a storm comes into your life, your big habit is at risk. However, a habit that is easy to do can weather a storm like flexible sprouts, and it can then grow deeper and stronger roots (Fogg, 2020).
So, you want to craft small, successful and sustainable behaviours that build momentum over time: tiny habits! For example, you might build up to flossing your teeth by beginning with just one tooth per day. Or, you might develop a habit of meditation by taking three deep breaths every lunchtime to start with.
The key in reinforcing tiny habits? Celebration. Celebrating the success of performing a daily habit will hardwire your brain to want to repeat the habit.
So, speak to the young person in your household not only about their goals, but (more importantly) about the concrete, tiny habits that will propel them forward.
Tiny is mighty. Especially when it comes to change.

Who’d be a Farmer?
I’m not a great gardener. It’s not for lack of trying. It’s more a lack of consistency. I like the idea of growing my own vegetables, but invariably my inability to attend to the daily watering of the plants required during the summertime thwarts my best intentions. If I had to grow my own food to survive, I’d probably starve.
So, I am very grateful for the people in our world who do grow food for me – our farmers. Our primary producers have a vocation to feed the world. In some ways there could hardly be a higher calling than this.
Farming is a challenging enterprise. In my garden I face setbacks from the winter frost, summer sun and hungry chickens when they get out. There is also the wolfhound who likes to lie on a bed of cool freshly watered herbs. But our farmers face constant challenges of bad weather, of good weather at bad times, of fires, floods, storms, rodents, labour shortages, fluctuating prices and trying trade conditions such as inexplicable tariffs from certain export partners. There are long days of hard physical work. There is disappointment when a crop is spoiled or damaged before harvest. There is the burden of responsibility that comes with maintaining a family tradition. There is the isolation of long hours spent alone and often great distances to others. It takes great faith to be a farmer. Yet the passion of our primary producers means they persevere even under dire circumstances.
God is a farmer at heart. God is the creator of all things, and this includes the work of ongoing creation: He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts. Psalm 104:14-15
It’s interesting that the last line says bread sustains hearts, not bodies. God’s creative work nourishes our bodies, but also is sustains our hearts. Having food to eat means more to us than just fuel for our bodies.
We depend on God for our food. When we grow food in gardens and on farms, we participate in the creative work of God! Martin Luther taught that God is at work in our world in a hidden way – he wears masks a lot of the time. One of those masks is of a farmer. We might see the face of a farmer, but behind this mask God is at work, producing food to feed the world.
This week we remember the work our farmers do for us. Our Community Focus Day at Springfield is a way for us to give thanks for our farmers and to offer a small token of our appreciation.
This week, before you eat, why not pause to remember our farmers? Give thanks for the hands that have produced your food, and for the earth that has grown it. And give thanks to God for the way he is at work through our farmers.

Arise Christian 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 wish to assure you that planning at the College is well underway to ensure effective educational programs, staffing, and administration at our school in 2023. 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 2023
There is no requirement for the families of students who will remain at the College in 2023 to contact us. Unless the Principal or Enrolments Office receives specific written advice from you that your child is leaving at the end of 2022, we will assume your child’s enrolment will continue and as such, their place at school in 2023 is secured. Families who will remain at St Peters into 2023 , therefore, do not need to take any action.
My child will leave St Peters Springfield at the end of 2022
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 2023, you need to us advise us in writing prior to the start of Term 4, 2022. 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, 3 October 2022. Please note that there can be no flexibility with regards to this contractual requirement due to the high demand for places at the College.
If you have any questions regarding continuing or new enrolment with St Peters, please contact me by email at s.enrolments@stpeters.qld.edu.au, or by phone at (07) 3470 3888.
Kind regards

Father’s Day Breakfast Celebration
We would be delighted for all the fathers who have children at the College to join us for our Father’s Day Breakfast Celebration on Thursday, 1st September at 7.20am.
St Peters Springfield is so excited to be able to celebrate and honour the fathers and all that they do for our students.
As this is the last Father’s Day Celebration at the College for our Year 12 students, they are welcome to come join their father at the event. If your child(ren) will be attending, please ensure you select that option when you register to attend the event. With the exception of Year 12 students, this is an adults only event.
The Queensland Government is seeking the support of the school community for the annual survey of Year 10, 11 and 12 students who left school in 2021, before completing Year 12. This short, confidential survey collects information about what young people are doing the year after leaving school. The results of the survey help provide valuable information to improve services available to school leavers in the future.
Between August and September, these school leavers can expect to receive instructions to complete a web-based survey or a telephone call from the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office. Please encourage them to take part. If their contact details have changed, please assist the interviewer with their updated details or forward the survey to their new address so they can participate.
Thank you for your support of Next Step post-school destination surveys in 2022.
Last week, our College farewelled our Music Coordinator, Mrs Grennan, through a series of assemblies of students and staff. Our Primary students sang a song to Mrs Grennan called ‘Sing It Loud’ which brought tears to her eyes and the Secondary students gave a lovely speech and presented flowers.
Mrs Grennan has been a part of our College for nine years and has not only been a wonderful Music teacher but has also built up our Private Tuition program. She has also organised and run many co-curricular Music opportunities. Mrs Grennan has been ever supportive with large College events through playing the piano and has always worked hard to oversee our amazing Year 8 Productions.
While there are notes of sadness for us with Mrs Grennan’s farewell, there are also notes of joy - joy because we are thankful for the blessings Mrs Grennan has orchestrated in our personal lives and in the life of St Peters Lutheran College Springfield. She has modelled to us the importance of working together in harmony by working collaboratively with staff and coordinating many amazing groups of musicians and artists. We thank her for using her musical gifts at our college and for bringing out the gifts in our students, especially in the area of music.
Mrs Grennan has played a big part here at St Peters and put a song in every heart. We send our richest blessings with Mrs Grennan as she writes the next part of her manuscript.
Sporting Wheelies Visit Springfield
Friday 12 August saw a visit to the college by The Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association and their ‘game changers’ to administer some Boccia and Wheelchair Basketball sessions with our Upper Primary and Year 12 students. Guests included current Birgmingham Commonwealth Games Gold Medal winner Kurt Thomson, and Rio Paralympic Games Silver Medal winner Monique Murphy amongst others. These sessions worked to reiterate the current HPE Inclusive Sport unit being taught in primary, and provide the students with some lessons in diversity, inclusion and understanding. As always the day culminated in the highly anticipated Staff vs Students game of Wheelchair Basketball, and it was great to see a huge crowd gather to watch and shout encouragement. Thanks again to The Sporting Wheelies, Sarah Johnson and Springfield teachers for supporting this amazing inclusive educational experience.
Wellbeing on Wellness Way
Celebrating Accomplishment
As part of our REVAMP model of wellbeing, A stands for Accomplishment or Achievement. It is SO important to our wellbeing to be able to set goals and then achieve them, however big or small they are.
What gives us joy also is celebrating OTHER PEOPLE’s achievements. When we celebrate other people’s accomplishments, it benefits OUR wellbeing too!
And today we were lucky enough to celebrate three of our senior students who have achieved remarkable things…
Toby Stolberg – Year 11 – went to the World Championships in Columbia and came eighth in the WORLD for her event, HIGH JUMP.
Toby is a wonderful person, and is tremendously talented, and we are so proud of her.
Ella Ramsay – Year 12 – who went to the World Championships and swam well enough to make it onto the Commonwealth Games Dolphins team for the 200m Individual Medley. Ella swam in the final.
Ella is a humble and kind person, who whilst pursuing swimming at an elite level has also maintained a full study load and is working hard academically. We are so proud of Ella.
Mollie O’Callaghan – Year 12 – who went to the World Championships for swimming and is the FASTEST PERSON in the WORLD in the 200m Freestyle. She then went to the Commonwealth Games and beat EMMA MCKEON, the most decorated swimmer of all time… and won 678 medals. We could not be prouder of Mollie O.
Mollie is a sweet soul who has been so committed to swimming that she has done TWO YEARS OF YEAR 12. What an achievement, and she is very nearly finished… and when she could have stayed in bed with Jetlag this week, she came back to school with little encouragement to finish school – we are so proud of you.
Celebrating other's achievements is what we pride ourselves on doing well here at St Peters Lutheran College.

Year 7 Mathematics Challenge
This term, our Year 7 students are studying geometry and looking into all things shapes. Last week while studying planning drawings and 3D nets, they were tasked with the challenge to create a replica Toblerone Chocolate using only paper, glue, scissors and colouring pens/pencils. Well done, Year 7!

A Step Back in Time
The Year 3 classes attended Beenleigh Historical Village on Tuesday 9 August. We have been exploring how art shows us how life has changed this term. The excursion to the village also showed the students what life was like a hundred years ago.
There was a visit to the washer lady, who taught Year 3 students how to wash their clothes using a boiler, a washboard and a mangle. Everyone got to experience rolling cloths through the mangle. Many of the students were very grateful for the technology we have in our homes today – washing is very easily done.
They were taught by the very strict Miss Matilda. There was certainly no fun or collaboration in her class. Year 3 students had to sit up tall with hands behind their back while the class was in session. They also learned about the ‘cane’ and the ‘dunce hat’ as well. I think that there is a new level of appreciation for school in 2022.
The day concluded with a wander around the village seeing how people lived, worked and relaxed.
It was a great day out of the classroom. Mrs Hofstee, Ms Peterson and Mrs Cullen were joined by QUT Teaching Experience student Miss O’Shea and Mrs Padmawansa, our teaching assistant.

Preps 100th Day of School Celebrations
The Preps enjoyed a very special event on Wednesday 10 August, we celebrated our 100th Day of School! The Prep classes came together for a range of fun, number-related activities. Since the start of the school year, the Prep students have been counting the number of days at school on a 100 number chart, eagerly awaiting the 100th day.
For our special celebration, Prep students came to school wearing some fantastic number-inspired outfits and brought some zip-lock bags of 100 items from home to compare. The Preps particularly enjoyed making Cheerio necklaces, ‘100’ day puzzle pictures, ‘100 Days Smarter’ crowns and icing biscuits with 100s & 1000s. We had a dance party and sang all the numbers to 100. Some challenges of the day were to build a pyramid using 100 plastic cups and find the hidden 100 buttons in the Prep sand pit and place them on the 100 chart. It was a fantastic 100th day!

Book Week
The Arts
A Night on Wellness Way
It was a great honour and joy to direct the inaugural 'A Night on Wellness Way' at St Peters Springfield, which boasted a broad collection of talented and creative young people. The evening was an opportunity for the College to celebrate the achievements and imagination of our young artists. Over the course of the year, our Senior Drama students have had much to celebrate. We developed performances, wrote dramatic concepts, and culminated our learning with 4 Directorial Visions that were performed on stage during this evening.
The Year 12s transformed performances of As You Like It, showcased the talents of our students in contemporary performance. The inspiration of pop-culture texts influenced the staging an aesthetic of these pieces, resulting in some stunning and exciting performances.
The Year 11s staged a Magical Realism piece called Girl Asleep, bringing to life an evil Queen and slimy Goblin. The performances tackled the difficulties of adolescence as the protagonist, Greta Driscoll, grapples with her own identity.
Additionally, we showed a skilled recording of an original routine titled ‘Arcade’ from our Cert III in Dance student, Zoe C (Year 11). Finally, we took the opportunity to draw attention to our Junior High Dance Troupe students and Year 8 Drama students. We hope this experience offers them inspiration to tackle their Senior Years of schooling with the same determination and imagination that our Arts subjects cultivate.
We would like to express our sincerest thanks to all of those who attended the evening. As was said on the night, the work our parents and guardians to cultivate the lives of our young people truly makes the world of a difference. I hope this night was an opportunity to see the creativity and imagination you’ve instilled in the young people you care for.
The Director of ‘A Night On Wellness Way’ – Mr Riley Langlands.

WELCOME BACK MOLLIE, ELLA & TOBY
On Monday morning I had the pleasure of joining the Springfield College to welcome back Mollie O, Toby S & Ella R from their recent sporting achievements with a Guard of Honour. The Guard of Honour was followed by a Q & A with Mr Lohe and the Senior students, it was wonderful to listen to the girl’s journeys and experiences, so inspirational. Well done to all at Springfield, it was a special morning enjoyed by all. (Images can be seen in the Wellbeing article 'Celebrating Accomplishment' by Sarah Johnson).
WINTER FIXTURES - NETBALL, VOLLEYBALL, HOCKEY & TENNIS
Last Saturday the rain arrived as forecasted and all Round 5 Tennis and Netball games were cancelled due to safety concerns on the wet courts. All Tennis fixtures across the QGSSSA were declared an abandoned round. Netball had five of the 12 games scheduled declared abandoned by the QGSSSA with seven teams required to reschedule their games. Fixtures are declared abandoned by the QGSSSA if more than 50% of the games in that division across the association did not get played. Further details will follow for our Netball girls.
Hockey and Volleyball fixtures proceeded as scheduled with successful rounds for both sports. Open Hockey remain undefeated and are looking forward to taking on BSHS in an early start at Burringbar on Saturday.
Our Volleyball program enjoyed a successful home game round for the ‘2022 VOLLEYBALL FOCUS ROUND’. The indoor gym was a hive of activity, a very successful round with eight wins from 10 games. The Open girls continued their winning way and thrived with the additional support defeating Somerville House in three sets.
Round 6 this Saturday we take on Brisbane State High School at their home venues, there is no bigger challenge, and we are looking forward to it!
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 girls!
