Not so long ago, the term ‘feedback’ was rarely used in education. Instead, terms like ‘grades’ and ‘marks’ proliferated. I am sure we all remember our own school days, when assignments would be returned branded with copious quantities of red writing, hashed out words and unintelligible acronyms. The result? Students who felt confused, overwhelmed, or simply disengaged. Things are different in schools today. Our current understanding of and approach to feedback is informed by evidence from cognitive science and motivation theory. Today, we understand that quality feedback is one of the most significant factors impacting student learning, capable of contributing up to an additional seven months’ learning progress over a year (Evidence for Learning, 2023).

Effective feedback supports students in answering three key questions:

1. Where am I going?
2. How am I going?
3. Where to next? (Hattie & Timperley, 2007)

By inviting students to consider these prompts, teachers deliberately create a healthy feedback culture that nurtures the development of self-regulatory behaviours. This type of feedback culture also supports students to grow dispositions of reflectiveness, open-mindedness, and curiosity, all competencies that contribute to wellbeing and a capacity to engage in life-long learning. We believe that when students possess the skill
to monitor their own learning, the will to own their own learning and the thrill to enjoy learning, they can truly flourish. Every child can learn, every day.

Of course, students must be taught to receive, interpret and use feedback, as feedback given but not heard is of little use. “Feedback can impact our beliefs about our work, our judgements about quality and can have other costs. The art is turning these costs into benefits in terms of deeper, worthwhile, and valuable learning” (Hattie & Clarke, 2019). How do we achieve this in the secondary school? Students experience a range of feedback strategies, depending on the year level, discipline and teacher, including:

1. Self feedback. After deconstructing a sample text, success criteria, and/or rubric, students evaluate their own assessment product and identify goals for improvement. Checking this evaluation and goal setting with a teacher helps students to know if their concept of success for this task is full and accurate.
2. Peer feedback. Students pair up with a trusted fellow student to provide critical feedback on one another’s assessment products. Using the Ladder of Feedback thinking routine, students clarify purpose, affirm strengths, pose questions and suggest improvements.
3. Verbal feedback. Once students have engaged in self and/or peer feedback, verbal conferencing with a teacher during class time can replace written drafting for truly personalised learning. This provides students opportunities to ask valuable questions and teachers opportunities to model skills in real time.
4. Delayed feedback. Too much feedback too soon is as ineffective as no feedback at all. By providing feedback in manageable ‘next best thing’ units of two-three goals, teachers support long-term retention and deep learning.

How can parents support students in ‘leaning into’ feedback to maximise its benefits? A slight tweak in language when discussing learning will work wonders. Rather than providing “self-feedback” (defined in the image), instead focus on providing self-regulated feedback based on your observations as a parent: “This term, I noticed you using your diary effectively to chunk your assessment into manageable bites—congratulations! How do you think this is helping you?” or “Dr Thygesen mentioned you visited Science tuition at lunch this afternoon to receive support with your results discussion—nice monitoring. How could you apply this strategy for other subjects?”

As we transition to the final weeks of Term 4, 2023, I am looking forward to observing our wonderful secondary students transform feedback into learning!

On Friday 27 October, our future Year 7 students experienced an incredible day during their 2024 Orientation. The excitement was palpable as they delved into the world of Junior High.

The day began with a warm welcome from our Head of Secondary, Year 7 PC teachers and Year 7 Coordinator, setting the tone for an inspiring journey. Students met teachers and classmates, participated in team-building activities, and explored the school. The highlight was a variety of hands-on workshops, from science experiments to art projects, igniting their curiosity.

At lunch, a delicious sausage sizzle provided the perfect opportunity for students to bond over great food and connection. The day concluded with reflections and a clear message: they can't wait to officially start their Junior High adventure in 2024.

Year 7 Orientation 2024 was a resounding success, thanks to our dedicated staff and the energy and enthusiasm of our new students. These connections formed on this special day will be the foundation for a year of growth, learning and cherished memories.

BWPI WATER POLO

Coordinators: Mrs Tracey Bruce and Miss Hannah Le Sage – waterpolo@stpeters.qld.edu.au

With grading done and dusted, we FINALLY got to play a full game of Waterpolo!

Round 1 Wrap

It was a tough day as the scores indicated. We have had a number of teams placed in higher divisions from last year and some of the opposition teams were very well drilled. As always, our St Peters girls played with awesome spirit and were a credit to the College.

Round 2 Wrap

Our Under 12 team kicked the day off with some impressive Water Polo getting a good win over AHS2 12-4. What a great start to the 2023/24 Water Polo season for these young ladies, a draw and a win.

Our Feature team of Round 2 is our U16 Div 2 team. They came up against a tough Polo Bears Snow team taking a well fought win 6-5. This was a Grand Final rematch from last season with the same result a one goal win to St Peters. 

Steph P swim fitness showed as she chased down opposition players in defence and she had time with the ball in attack. Willow P back from a minor injury put a couple of strong goals on the board, one long range caught the opposition goalie off guard. Mackenzie B playing up from our U15 team was strong especially in defence. Abi H & Charlotta E scored off 5 metre penalties. Amelia S & Gabby F worked tirelessly getting up and down the pool turning the ball over in defence. Kate W and Katie J put in some great passes to centre forward position. Sophia M scored a great goal but finished the game early after being excluded with 3 major fouls. Emily R was good in both attack and defence. Our goalie Shanti G-O was up and about saving many attempts from the Polo Bears. This team showed the ‘Plus Ultra” motto digging deep and working together to come away with the win.

It was great to see our three Captains Alice, Emmilia and Georgia turn up in the stands at St Margaret’s cheering on the U15 team. This team played a super game, but Mermaids came out hard in the second half to get the win.

Please keep an eye on the St Peters App for the weekly draw, this will be uploaded each week as soon as it is available.

Girls Sport Coordinator

Over the past three weeks, St. Peters rugby players have shown immense dedication and commitment as they prepared for two Rugby 7s carnivals. These events, which took place last Wednesday and over the weekend, brought an exciting blend of speed, camaraderie and fun to the sport. Rugby 7s is a fast-paced variant of rugby, featuring two seven-minute halves with seven players on each team, and it has gained immense popularity worldwide due to its inclusivity.

On Wednesday 11 October, St. Peters proudly sent three teams to the Gold Coast to participate in the All Saints Rugby 7s competition. It was a display of impressive teamwork and skill, with the U18s team achieving a remarkable second-place finish in their division, a truly thrilling outcome. The U13 and U15 teams also demonstrated their adaptability to the fast-paced nature of rugby 7s with solid performances.

This past weekend, our three teams once again took to the field for the All Schools Rugby 7s competition, one of Brisbane's largest junior rugby 7s tournaments. The boys exhibited extraordinary resilience as they competed on both Saturday and Sunday, representing the College with unwavering pride. We saw a mixed bag of results across the three teams but their dedication and commitment were truly commendable, and they should be proud of their remarkable performances throughout the weekend.

Rugby 7s serves as a vital steppingstone towards the AIC rugby season in Term 2. As we look ahead, our Opens preseason is set to commence this week, providing a platform for our athletes to further refine their skills and teamwork.

If you're eager to get involved in rugby or simply wish to learn more about our program, please don't hesitate to reach out to Jack Sims at j.sims@stpeters.qld.edu.au.
