Welcome to Term 3. A particularly warm welcome to those new students and their families joining St Peters this term. We hope that you settle in and feel part of our community very soon.

The events of recent weeks reminds us that we will need to continue to live with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for some time yet. Our fellow Australians in Greater Sydney remain in our prayers as they experience an outbreak of the virus, and return to a period of lockdown. The outbreak in Greater Sydney is a reminder that we cannot become complacent and we need to continue to practice effective preventative measures in order to help reduce the possibility of an outbreak in our own communities. To this end, I ask all in our community to continue to work together to help keep everyone safe and well. In particular, a reminder about the importance of good personal hygiene practices, appropriate social distancing measures, mask wearing and remaining at home if you are unwell. These personal actions are vital to the collective health of our community. Please refer to the emailed document titled ‘Caring for our Community’ sent to all families earlier in the week for further details. I have no doubt that the uncertainty and challenges of the pandemic has taken a toll on many people, and I ask that you continue to look out for and support each other. I am deeply grateful to all in the St Peters community for the way that you have worked with the College over the past 18 months.

Student end of Semester Reports were made available over the break. They provide a snapshot of where your child is at in their learning journey. If I you haven’t already done so, it is important that parents have conversations with their child/ren as to their progress. Comments and feedback around effort, attitude, classwork and homework are as important (if not more so) than grades. The start of the second Semester provides students with the opportunity to take stock, and establish their learning goals for the second half of the year. Establishing good study and homework routines are crucial to the achievement of those learning goals. Consistent, focused effort in class is another key element if our young people are to achieve their goals.

As we embark on a new Semester I would encourage our students to exhibit a ‘Plus Ultra’ attitude in all that they do, but most especially in their learning. Plus Ultra is, of course, the College’s motto and is Latin for ‘ever higher’. Plus Ultra is given practical expression at St Peters through our focus on the ‘Quest for Personal Bests’. This focus on achieving personal bests is very much in keeping with what those Old Scholars and former Staff who have gone before us were focused on. Mr Bill Lohe, the College’s second Headmaster, in a letter in 1978 (eight years after his retirement), stated that – ‘the idea (Plus Ultra) is as I see it not to make the other person the measure of one’s achievement, rather the individual is called upon to rise above themselves - the motto places no limit on rightful aspiration and endeavour’.

To the fine young men and women of St Peters as you commence Term 3 set your aspirations high, and engage in purposeful endeavour with studies and co-curricular activities so as to enable you to achieve your ‘Plus Ultra’, your personal best.

Tim Kotzur
Head of College

You may or may not be aware that I like to think of myself as a bit of an artist…when I get the time. Not that I’m great at it, but I do enjoy the absolute focus of it and the absorption in the processes. But most of all, I love how I start looking at the world and seeing everything differently.

I always remember Mr Squiggle. When I was a young kid, I remembered his show, where he’d take a few odd markings and develop them into a lovely picture. With 'arty eyes' you start to see things differently… random lines come together…shapes that had no meaning start making sense. You start to see things in a new and different light.

Something similar happens to us spiritually when the Spirit of God opens our minds through the Scriptures. We get to see our lives from a different perspective – because we get to see God from a different perspective.

Through the scriptures we see Jesus. We get to know him. We hear his voice in his living word and we grow in our knowledge of all that he has done for us by his cross and empty tomb. As we see Jesus in this way, we can say: “I can see God!” When one gets to know Jesus, one gets to know something new and marvellous about God. God isn’t some cold principle or theory. Unexpectedly, but wonderfully, one sees God as a fellow human being. Who would have expected that?

We also see ourselves in a new light. We become different people; we see our lives as a gift from God and we are changed for the better. We see the new connection we have with God can talk directly to him as our Father.

Finally, we see the world differently - as a miracle created by God’s own hands.

I asked a group of students to make a list of miracles they see in the universe, including our own earth. I was expecting they might list things like sunsets, and certain animals, and maybe the human brain and the ability to think and to see, and so on. One girl said, “It is all one big miracle!” She had the best answer of all. To see the creation is to see one great miracle of God.

So, as we begin this new semester, allow yourself to look around you in a new way, in the light of God’s love.

The College is currently receiving a high demand for places in a number of Year Levels for 2022. While it is College Policy for families to provide one term’s notice of student withdrawals, it would assist us with our planning for 2022 for families that are already aware they will be departing the College at the end of the 2021 school year, to provide notice in advance to the Enrolments Office.

Notification of student withdrawals should be emailed in writing to enrolments@stpeters.qld.edu.au, stating the student details, reason for withdrawal and where your child will be enrolled in 2022.

Formal notification will be required by Friday 17 September, 2021 in order to avoid the penalty of a term’s fees in lieu of such notice. 

If your child is currently in Year 12, or continuing at St Peters in 2022, no further action is required.

We appreciate your assistance as we plan for 2022.

Julian Schubert
Enrolments Registrar

Families with children already at St Peters Lutheran College wishing to enrol a sibling for 2023 are reminded to submit an enrolment application for your child, if you haven’t already done so.  Please note that due to a very high demand for places in some Year Levels, applications for siblings received after 31 July 2021 cannot be guaranteed a place, and will be placed on our waitlist. 

For further information, please contact the Enrolments Office via enrolments@stpeters.qld.edu.au or phone 3377 6236.

The Child Protection Policy provides written processes about the appropriate conduct of staff and students that accord with legislation applying in Queensland about the care and protection of children. Further information can be found in the following documents located on Firefly:

Last term we were very pleased to once again be supporting the employment opportunities provided by the Work and Welcome Program.

Finding employment is vital for refugees as they settle into life in their new country.  The Work & Welcome program partners with local businesses to provide participants with a 12-week paid work placement that enables them to gain local work experience, build confidence and create connections in the community. 

Many newly arrived migrants and refugees arrive in Australia with valuable qualifications, skills, and experience, but may struggle to find suitable employment in their first few years. In particular, a lack of Australian work experience, and English language ability are often noted as a key barrier.

At St Peters, this program provides paid work to refugees and migrants through staff contributions.  

In Term 2 we welcomed Shahla Koran. Shahla is from Iraq and worked as a lecturer at University. She has been living in Queensland for the last 18 months. Staff gave her the opportunity to work in a number of areas in the College to help her gain experience and confidence. She enjoyed assisting in Senior classes with Maths, IT, Exceptional Learners and Design and Technology. She also helped in the Finance Department.

Shahla visited the Year 11 Christian Studies classes as well as the Multicultural Committee and talked to the students about her background, faith and struggles as a refugee.  Her talk was excellent and hearing about her hardships, had quite an impact on the students. 

During her last week at the College, Shahla wanted to show her appreciation to staff and cooked up a delicious Iraqi meal for us all to enjoy.

Shahla was an asset to the departments in the time she was with us, we appreciated having such a dedicated, delightful person working at St Peters Lutheran College.

Head of 7-12 Curriculum - Students

I am delighted to welcome you to Semester 2 at St Peters Lutheran College.  In my first weeks here at the College, I have been welcomed very warmly by the many wonderful and dedicated staff.  I look forward to a productive and happy semester at the College with the students and staff and look forward to meeting you soon.

Semester 2 always brings about some changes of timetable for Upper Primary students.  Years 5C and 5D will be introduced to MEBS which is always a highlight, and other changes for specialist days have taken place.  Please ask your child if they have been affected.

Full Winter uniform continues to be required in Term 3 and the formal uniform for Upper Primary including formal hats, blazers (with ties and long trousers for boys) are required each Tuesday and Thursday, while Lower Primary require their formal uniform on Wednesdays.

I am sure you will join me in warmly welcoming the following staff to St Peters Primary Years:

Ms Rose Hoger – Classroom Teacher in 3C
Mrs Belinda Coleman – Primary PE
Mrs Myleen Jessup – Year 1 Teachers’ Assistant
Ms Ana Malta – Library Technician

The College also farewelled Mrs Kym Izatt as she prepares for the birth of her second child, a sibling for Olive. I am delighted to welcome Mr Cameron Glass into the role of Acting Deputy – Lower Primary and know you will join me in wishing Mr Glass all the very best in this role.  Many of you will already be familiar with Mr Glass and the fine work that he does in the Primary Years and across the College.

A reminder of the upcoming ICAS tests and the Australian Mathematics Competition in Term 3.  Additional information can be accessed via Firefly at the location below:

A little about myself – as a committed Lutheran and having worked in both Lutheran and, most recently, Anglican Schools for the previous 20+ years, I am delighted to be returning to Lutheran schooling, particularly St Peters.  St Peters reflects a truly rounded education and develops children holistically – academically, physically, culturally, emotionally and spiritually. Children must feel a sense of belonging at school in order to reach his or her potential. That sense of belonging is dependent chiefly upon secure and productive relationships with caring and astute teachers who know well, the importance of these relationships.  The tone of the school can influence these relationships enormously, as can the relationships between the parents and the school.  A sense of belonging is enhanced when children feel physically and emotionally secure – hence the importance, also, of a positive social climate amongst the children.

Good teachers teach children, not subjects.  They prepare the conditions for learning by developing secure classroom environments where risk-taking in learning is safe and encouraged.  A successful primary education must allow children to have some control over the direction of their learning. Children should be able to learn through experiences of touching, moving, listening, and observing and to be allowed to have endless opportunities for the expression of their ideas, understandings and wonderings.

Good teachers, like the Primary staff here at St Peters, are vital, interesting, inspirational people.  Many children do not learn simply because we (teachers and parents) want them to do so.  They learn because learning is intrinsically rewarding, and they learn best when they are fascinated by things.  Children enter the world with a natural fascination for the world around them and a compelling desire to explore or inquire into that world.  It is the challenge and responsibility of the school, in this case St Peters, and staff at the College to fan the flame of inquiry in each child through challenging, relevant and meaningful teaching and experience.

I look forward to meeting you all, as we work together in partnership as a College community, and for the benefit of all the young people in our care.

Lisa Challenor
Head of Primary Years

Term 3 is already well and truly underway in Junior High - with our Year 8 students on Camp in Mapleton for the whole week, Year 9EF at Ironbark and with Years 7 and 9 academic classes in full swing. There has been a definite buzz in the atmosphere around the College during the first few days of term.

This week we welcomed five new students and their families to Junior High.  Although it is early days, I would like to acknowledge the positive way in which these students seem to have managed their transition to a new school – especially those Year 8s who boarded the bus to Camp on Day 1.

SOAR Program

This term there is an opportunity for Year 7 students to participate in a wellbeing program run by Mrs Jessica Young, Junior High Counsellor.  It will be held again due to popular demand last term. The SOAR program is designed to increase the confidence and communication skills of participants, develop healthy thinking patterns and build strategies to help with anxiety through a small group approach. The program has been developed for Year 7 students and is based on the acronym SOAR: 

STOP the anxious thought
Look at my OPTIONS
Pick an ACTION
And REPEAT

The program will be held across five weeks launching in Week 3 on Thursday during pastoral care lessons (Period 5).

The Prosper Project

The Prosper Project is a new six week program that will be launching this term for Year 8 students. The purpose of the program is to help build confidence and self-esteem in young people through a small group approach.  It will be capped at eight students.  The program will cover the following topics: What is self-esteem, strategies to build confidence and self-esteem, managing the storms of life, navigating friendships and social media and developing gratitude. It will be run on a Tuesday during the pastoral care lesson (Period 5) so that it does not impede on academic time. The program will launch in Week 3 and conclude in Week 9.

If you wish for your child to be involved in either program running this term please contact Mrs Jessica Young, the Junior High Counsellor (j.young@stpeters.qld.edu.au) or the Junior High Reception.

Patricia Aishford
Head of Junior High

Last Sunday afternoon, musicians from the St Peters Jazz Combo performed at the Brisbane Jazz Club. This group of talented musicians were invited to perform as a support group for Mr Pradella’s professional ensemble. Due to Covid-19 restrictions only eight members were allowed on stage, so the group performed like a professional group, without the direction from Mr Pradella.

This amazing group of musicians were enthusiastically received by the appreciative audience and were congratulated by Jazz Club officials for their professional presentation and excellent performance. Mr Pradella noted that they have raised the standard of student performances at the Jazz Club to a new level.

Mr Pradella then took the stage with his professional ensemble to complete the rest of the evening. Throughout the night a few lucky members were invited on stage to join the professionals for an item. Congratulations to all involved and thank you to Mr Pradella for arranging this fabulous opportunity for our aspiring jazz musicians.

Thank you to the many girls who participated in the various holiday training sessions and Track & Field camp over the holidays. We had some great numbers across all sports.

OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT BY ASH BARTY

I’m sure many of you were like me and stayed up to the early hours of last Sunday morning watching Ash achieve her lifelong dream of winning Wimbledon, what an incredible result and what an inspiration she is to all of us.

I wanted to share with you a link to an interview with Ash’s mindset coach (thank you to our Head Tennis Coach Mark Lewis). Ash credits Ben with helping her to get back on track to No 1. Please have a listen, there is a great message in there for all of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NgCDYLT-gg

CONGRATULATIONS

A huge congratulations to QGSSSA Track & Field Vice Captain, Torrie L (Year 11), who competed in the Australian Under 20 Track & Field team at the Oceania Athletics Invitational Series on the Gold Coast at the end of last term. The event saw her up against Australian and New Zealand Olympic athletes in a very high-level competition—she performed extremely well and was easily the youngest athlete at the meet.

The event was an important stepping stone for Torrie. It was conducted because Australia (like a lot of other countries) will not be sending the Australian Under 20 team to the World Under 20s in Nairobi, Kenya this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the meet, Torrie confirmed herself as the second fastest Australian Under 20 Sprinter and is ranked 5th overall for Australian females. She’s now focussing on the World Juniors in Colombia and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022. Amazing!

Congratulations also must go to two of our amazing Swimmers. Semra O (Year 10) has been selected into the Junior Australian Team to compete in the 'MLC Duel in the Pool' meet to be held at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre in August. Also receiving great news over the holidays was Amelia W (Year 10) who has been selected in the Queensland team to compete in the New Zealand Short Course Championships also in August. All the best girls as you prepare for these meets, we can’t to watch you perform.

Another amazing achievement just before the holidays was from Julia S (Year 7) who was selected in the 12 Years Queensland School Sport Netball team. Julia (pictured, centre) with her fellow St Peters students Prisha P (left) and Zara T (right) who together represented Met West at the State Championships played at Nissan Arena.
