I have a beautiful Diffenbachia pot plant sitting on my desk. I’m rather proud of it because I’ve grown it from a little seedling. I’ve tried hard to keep it healthy. I’ve kept it in the right position, fed and watered and given it plenty of tender, loving care. It is only because the plant has been linked to a caring owner that it is now obviously firmly rooted, with a nice strong stem, and well established to survive a few knocks. 

This is the image that Saint Paul used in his letter to the Colossians: So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught. (Colossians 2:6,7).

When our lives are linked with Jesus in a special way and when we continue to live with our lives centred in Jesus, then we too can be firmly rooted and built up and established in the Christian faith. At St Peters, this can happen through the hearing God’s word – in chapel or church, in classes, reading the bible, in fellowship. Then we hear about what God has done for us and we respond to that love. We learn about the strength that he can give us that helps us to cope with the hard things in life. We also learn about the gifts that we are given, and these gifts are nurtured. And it is in this nurturing of each person’s gifts that they are enabled to use them, to go out into the world to help other people.

When we hear about disasters happening in the world, and especially when we hear of droughts and fires affecting people’s lives, we ask where God is. We know that he is there, comforting people in their loss, strengthening them for the difficult times ahead, and empowering us to find ways of helping those who need our help. As a school, we are continuing to find ways to spread God’s love, to show our care and our support for those struggling with difficult situations.

NAPLAN RESULTS

Another year of NAPLAN testing is over and the results have gone home. Most students from Years 3 and 5 worked through the test with a calm confidence, and have now put it behind them. Several even surprised us by saying that they enjoyed the testing process. It’s reassuring to see the way our Primary Years treats NAPLAN testing, confident in the knowledge that our children are growing and achieving academically in the varied opportunities that come their way, and therefore not placing undue emphasis and stress around this regime of testing. 

Now that the results for 2019 have come out and you will have received the report for your child, there is a renewed interest in the results, which have shown that our students have achieved very well. As a College, we use the data to help build a broad profile of each child, adding to what we already know. 

We are also reminded of the potential stress and sometimes controversy that sounds this literacy and numeracy examination.  As such, this week I thought I’d share a reflection on some of the elements that a standardised test does not cover, but which we strive towards every day. Such elements show another area that we approach with a calm confidence; educating the whole child. 

BUSH DANCE UPDATE

Bush Dance preparation is a hive of activity as we get closer to the big day.  Our parents are working behind the scenes to ensure this event is a huge success.  Our parent volunteers have been instrumental in assisting with the collation and distribution of the vouchers and wristbands.  A special thank you to Lauren Aldridge for your assistance in the collation of this information.  A reminder that wristbands and vouchers will go home with the youngest child in your family tomorrow, Friday 13 September.  If your child is unwell, these will be available for collection from the Raffles Tent on the day.  For those who missed the deadline for vouchers/wristbands and pizzas, these will be available to purchase from the Raffles tent on the day.  Additional vouchers and wristbands are also able to be purchased.  We have ordered some additional pizzas for those who didn’t order however stocks will be limited so if you require a pizza you will need to purchase a voucher at the raffles stand early in the day to avoid disappointment.  We are looking forward to introducing you to our new format and envisage a successful and fun day will be had by all families who attend. 

STUDENT LED CONFERENCES 

A reminder that next week, the Primary Years’ student led conferences will take place. This involves students leading a conversation about their learning with their parents. During this time, the student takes responsibility for their learning by sharing the process with their parents. It is a wonderful testament to the students and their teachers as we witness the confidence and excitement that the children display when discussing their learning. We hope that you have made a time to share in this experience. 

Staffing Update

At the end of this term we will be wishing two staff members all the very best as they take some leave. Mrs Donna Edwards is excited to await the birth of her second child and Mrs Lindsay O’Malley is taking well-earned Long Service Leave for Term 4. We wish both teachers all the very best throughout their leave and look forward to their return throughout 2020.

Pam Carden
Head of Primary Years

On Saturday 7 September, St Peters Chorale and the University of Queensland Chamber Singers combined to present a wonderful evening of choral music which spanned the ages from Renaissance masterworks to works by contemporary Australian composers.

Highlights of the evening included UQ Chamber Singers’ performance of the double choir work Jubilate Deo by Giovanni Gabrieli; Chorale’s performance of Kondalilla by Australian composer, Stephen Leek, in which the choir spread around the Chapel creating the sound world of the rainforest; and the combined choir performance of God Has Gone Up by Gerald Finzi accompanied by the newly extended St Peters Pipe Organ. 

Another important moment in the concert was the World Premiere of Mind composed by St Peters and UQ Music alumnus, Andrew Schultz. This work has been commissioned by St Peters Chorale for their 2019/2020 International Tour to England, Belgium, Germany and Denmark. It was terrific to hear this exciting work for the first time.

Thank you to our coordinator Jenny Pavlides and all the Waterpolo coaches who have spent a good part of their Sunday afternoons over the past three weeks to trial record number of girls trialling for the 2019/20 season ahead. Teams are close to be finalised and girls will be emailed their placements.

It is extremely important that girls attend this meet as the provisional 2019 QGSSSA Track & Field Team will have their final opportunity to compete. 

The QGSSSA Track & Field Championships are being held on Thursday 19 September.

Winter Fixtures

Good luck to all our Winter Fixtures teams playing their final games for 2019 playing St Aidan's. There have been some outstanding performances by teams across the various sports. 

Hockey

Coordinator: Mr Cameron Glass

Last week we played against Clayfield College who fielded two teams only in both the Opens and the Senior A divisions. Whilst the Opens went down the Seniors were strong defeating Clayfield by 3-0. Hockey has had a great season this year with excellent camaraderie and everyone enjoying a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. 

Netball

Coordinator: Mrs Anne-Marie Champion

Round 8, last weekend, proved to be a challenging yet rewarding round. All our ‘A’ teams enjoyed a bye while the windy conditions make it tricky for all the girls playing, particularly the shooters. We had some awesome results - our Opens were impressive again to win by 40; all our Year 7 teams did very well; our 8C team put up a great fight in their last game for the season; 9B couldn’t quite get across the line losing by one point, and; our 9C did their best against a bigger and stronger BGGS2 team. Our 10B pulled off a great win by one to keep their hopes alive for a premiership and our 10C team also won by one point in a tight game. A big well done to our Senior C team who finished with 17 goals - their highest score for the season; our Senior B team played well but run out of legs and our Senior A2 had an awesome victory over St Margaret’s. Well done Girls 😊

Round 9 vs St Aidan's this weekend is being held on the Hart's Road courts except for our 10C & 9C teams who will play BSHS at the QSNC at 8.45am and our 8C team have a bye. Girls, this week you will be playing for the ‘SHERIFF AWARD – For the on-court ENFORCER’ - what an amazing job Tracey has done each week with organising these awards, it makes for a lot of fun – THANK YOU TRACEY!

Tennis

Coordinator: Mrs Deborah Wilson

Round 8 saw our Opens and Senior B teams win against Clayfield’s teams with very strong performances. Congratulations to these girls who have had shown some quality tennis throughout the season. This weekend we play against a very strong St Aidan's contingent and wish the girls the best of luck in their final rounds. Our girls should be proud of the way they continue to represent the College and the improvement in many individual performances throughout the season has been pleasing. Tennis is a tough mental game and for our girls to be winning an increasing number of games from their opponents as the season has gone on reflects girls achieving their ‘personal bests’. Well done to all Tennis players.

Volleyball 

Coordinator: Mr Joshua Singh

Last weekend (Round 8) saw us come up against Clayfield College. It was another great round of Volleyball where five of our six teams that played on the weekend won. 7A, 8A, 9A,10A, Snr A and Opens. Congratulations to those teams.

Good luck to all the teams playing this weekend in their last round for 2019. 7A remain undefeated whilst 8A have only dropped one match in the last two years.

The Volleyball break-up will be next Tuesday 17 September with details to be emailed to the girls.

Junior Softball (Years 7 - 9)

Coordinator: 

Well done to all our girls who have been trialling for our Junior Softball teams. Teams will be announced by the end of term. Training continues in Term 4 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

We hope you have a great week in sport and a wonderful holiday when they arrive.

Kelli Rodman and Kerry Schreiber 

AIC Basketball and Tennis

Our boys faced St Laurence's College for the second last round of the AIC seasons over the weekend.  Aggregate results were shared between the two Colleges with St Laurence's taking the Basketball and St Peters taking the Tennis.  It was a very windy and dusty round, however, games were all played in good spirits and the adverse weather conditions didn’t hamper the competitive nature of our games.

Basketball

Coordinator – Mr Grant Carlson g.carlson@stpeters.qld.edu.au

Congratulations to our 7D team and 2nd V team who both enjoyed victories in their Round 6 matches last weekend against St Laurence’s College. Very close losses for our 8A, 11A and 4th V teams demonstrated how hard they are working at training and the bounce of the ball at times proved crucial in their results. The Seconds game was very evenly contested throughout and came right down to the final possession. Will F nailed two clutch free throws towards the end of the fourth quarter with under 30 seconds remaining to give St Peters the lead which they defended brilliantly as the clock ran out. This team have displayed a great ability to perform under pressure over the course of the season and this game was yet another example of our players developing a 'team-first' mindset which our hard-working coaches have promoted all season long. This mindset is a main feature of the St Peters brand of Basketball which will again be on display this coming weekend for the final round of matches against St Patrick’s College.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish our Year 12 students the very best of luck for their final game of representing St Peters in AIC Basketball. This moment will be especially significant for our Year 12 boys who are in the 1st V team on Saturday. Thank you very much for your contributions and commitment throughout your time on the basketball court in a Saints Basketball singlet.

Playing uniforms will be redistributed prior to matches this weekend by coaches after they were collected last round. They will then be collected again after the final game for storage. It is vital that all players bring an St Peters PE shirt to the game this week and next to wear after their singlet has been collected. NO FREE DRESS ALLOWED. Please ensure that any availability concerns or otherwise are communicated to either myself or Mr Grose with as much advance notice as possible.

Lastly, the Basketball break-up will be on Monday 16 September (final week of term), from 3:30pm – 4:30pm on the Outdoor Basketball Courts. Boys have been asked to bring $5 to Sports House by this Friday to pay for the pizza and drink for the break-up. 

Tennis

Coordinator – Mr Stuart Delaney s.delaney@stpeters.qld.edu.au

Yet again our St Peters tennis players put on a strong display across all grades, resulting in wins in the majority of matches against St Laurence's College.  Well done to the following teams on their victories on the weekend; 1st IV, 11A, 11B, 10A, 10B, 9A, 9B, 8A, 8B, 5A and 5B.  Unfortunately, our Year 7 teams suffered their first losses for the season on Saturday in what otherwise would have been an unblemished season for them.  With a win against St Patrick's this weekend, these boys can hopefully gain themselves a shared premiership for the season.

Looking across the board, our Tennis cohort are in a position to potentially win 11 premierships out of 13 Year 7-12 divisions.  Let’s make sure that we finish the season with our foot on the pedal and we hope the run of wins continue as we go into the final round of the season.  As well as possibly taking away multiple premierships, we have the potential to win the overall AIC Tennis Aggregate Championship for the 8th year in a row!  Well done players and coaches, you have represented the College honourably this year, and I am looking forward to seeing our last games this weekend.

Players and parents please be advised that the end-of-season Tennis break-up will be on this Saturday at 1:00pm at the P&F Function Centre which overlooks Mayer Oval.  This means that our Seniors will have to travel back from North Brisbane, however, it is a very important event where our players as well as coaches are recognised for their hard work and awards are handed to players.  We look forward to celebrating another successful year of our St Peters Tennis players. 

Please view this weekend’s fixture details via the St Peters App.

AIC Track & Field

Waterpolo

Coordinator: Alex Lawn a.lawn@stpeters.qld.edu.au 

AIC Waterpolo begins in Term 4 and expressions of interest went out to those boys who played in 2018.  If any boys would like details regarding the up and coming season, please contact Mr Lawn who will be coordinating the sport this year.  We entered three teams into the competition last year and we are looking to enter the same number of teams again in 2019.

Volleyball & Cricket

Volleyball Coordinator: Darren Grose d.grose@stpeters.qld.edu.au

I would like to wish all of our AIC sport boys the very best of luck for their final round of Term 3 sport for 2019 this weekend against St Patrick's College.

Yours in Sport,

Darren Grose
