Welcome to Term 4. A special welcome is extended to those families joining our community for the first time this term.
For our Year 12s, the Class of 2023, the end of their St Peters journey is in sight. They have just a few weeks of classes before they undertake their final exams. Our Year 12s have been well prepared for this experience, and I encourage them to remain focused and to build on the solid foundations they have established and maintain a steady, consistent and diligent approach to their studies in the coming days and weeks – they are encouraged to ‘Finish Well’.
It's not just our Year 12s that are encouraged to ‘Finish Well’. All our students are encouraged to work with positive intent and endeavour right throughout the term so that they finish the school year strongly – that they ‘Finish Well’.
For all our students to ‘Finish Well’ is important so that they can achieve their academic personal bests.
‘Finishing Well’ means consistency of action helping to build a solid foundation and strong platform which moves us closer to our learning goals.
In practical terms ‘Finishing Well’ for our young people means:
Consistent application in class – staying focused, asking questions, utilising teacher feedback and completing the set work.
Regular completion of homework. Use homework as an opportunity to consolidate your learning in your various subjects.
Starting assignments early.
Having a study plan where you are regularly revising your work.
Continuing to do all the little things right such as wearing your uniform correctly. It’s amazing what a big difference the little things make.
All these practical actions are a choice. They are intentional and they are achievable for each of our students.
As we begin Term 4, I encourage our students to ‘Finish Well’ so that they make the most of the unrivalled opportunities that St Peters affords them in and out of the classroom.

In this edition of SchoolTV - Anxiety
Most young people today experience anxiety at some point in their life. Sometimes that slight rush of anxiety that occurs prior to an exam or sporting event, can enhance their performance. However, experiencing too much anxiety, over long periods of time, can be extremely damaging to their health and wellbeing. There is a difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ anxiety.
Statistics show, that the psychological health of young people today is far worse than it was a generation ago. This is having an adverse effect on children in both primary and secondary levels. Some of their issues of concern include stress, school, study, body image and friendship.
Parents need to be aware of the warning signs of ‘bad’ anxiety. There are preventative measures parents can implement as well as teaching kids the skills to cope more efficiently with their anxiety.
We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this edition of SchoolTV and we always welcome your feedback. If you have any concerns about your child, please contact the school counsellor for further information or seek medical or professional help.
Here is the link to the Anxiety edition of SchoolTV:
I pray that although the holidays may already be a distant memory for you, during them you had the chance to experience some stillness – a chance to stop at some point and be still. To have let go of being busy, of doing things, of appointments and engagements and of actions and jobs to be done. To not be in control or in charge of things but, if only for a moment, be still and quiet, mindful of the environment and people around you. We all need downtimes like this in our holidays. On the AFL Grand Final day, I was able to be still on the water and canoe with my daughter across the corner of Lake Cootharaba and up the Everglades of Noosa River. It was a perfect sunny still day on the water to paddle and experience the beauty of a wilderness area of the Sunshine Coast.
Be still and know that I am.
I pray that although the holidays may be a distant memory for you, you had the chance to experience something of God’s presence in the world. To slow down and connect especially with the deeper things of life. The deeper things of life which can give us meaning and are gifts given to us by God. The God of the Old Testament who is revealed to Moses as the great “I am” and the God of the New Testament who in Jesus claimed to be this “I am”, this special name for the divine. Experiencing that ‘aha’ moment where we connect in a special way with the transcendent, whether that is in the environment, in our relationships or wherever it is, can be viewed as a connection to God.
Be still and know.
I pray that although the holidays may be a distant memory for you, you had the opportunity to be still and know. To know something is to be connected to it in an intimate and real way. To know a person is to have not just knowledge of them but understanding and a deeper connection and meaningful relationship with them. We are all nourished and sustained by relationships with our friends and loved ones who truly know us and care for us.
Be still.
I pray that although the holidays may be a distant memory, you had the opportunity to be still. To be still is to be singularly focused on that which will give us peace. It is a challenge for many people to do this.
Be.
I pray that although the holidays are gone, you were able to just ‘be’. To be free of worries, anxieties, commitments, and problems, to simply ‘be’. As humans, we are not called human doings but human beings. To be fully human is to simply be.
These words from Psalm 46:10; Be still and know that I am God, are a great meditation in which we can take a piece of our holidays with us into this last term of the year. They are a simple way to slow down and reflect on God’s presence with us. May God bless you with moments of stillness this term too.

What's On
Gala Choral Concert 2023
The Music Department warmly invites the St Peters College community to the 2023 Choral Gala Concert, to be held at the Dron Auditorium, PAC on Saturday 7 October commencing at 7:00pm.
The Gala Concert will be a celebration of choral music at St Peters and will feature performances by our Junior High Songmakers, Chorale and Chamber Chorale. We are also delighted to welcome back over 100 Chorale alumni who will combine with the current Chorale in a massed choir performance of Gabriel Faure’s Requiem, accompanied by orchestra and pipe organ. The evening will conclude with Songmakers joining the massed choir to perform John Rutter’s The Lord Bless You and Keep You a poignant choral work that has become part of the St Peters choral and College tradition.
Tickets ($15.00 adult/$10.00 St Peters students) are now on sale and starting to sell quickly.
This year, Brain Cancer Day will be held in Week 3, Friday 20 October. The day is an opportunity for the St Peters community to raise awareness and funds for research into treatments and a cure for brain cancer.
Once again, Brain Cancer Day will provide many opportunities for students to be involved.
Firstly, students are encouraged to wear purple accessories to school. Examples include but are not limited to, hair ties and socks.
In Period 3, Gould House will participate in games adapted to replicate some of the deficits people experience when they have a brain tumour and/or have had brain surgery. Please note that Brain Cancer is the Gould House's charity, so students in this House are encouraged to make a special effort to enthusiastically participate and promote the Day and associated activities. Our mascot, Gould Gorilla, will also be actively involved throughout the Day so look out for opportunities to join and support him.
During lunchtime, students will be encouraged to participate in a variety of activities, including games, again replicating deficits experienced through brain trauma; making origami cranes (the symbol for the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation); and buying soft drinks and chocolate to raise money for the Sid Faithful Brain Cancer Laboratory at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute.
Our final initiative for the day will be a 3km Walk4Brain Cancer College challenge, beginning at 3:30pm at the Chapel Forecourt. This will be our major fundraiser for the day, with all funds going to the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation. We are encouraging all students to participate in this Walk as it’s an excellent opportunity to support those people who have been impacted by brain cancer and provides an avenue for building College and House spirit.
To register for the event, parents/caregivers will need to complete a Parent Permission Form which has been emailed to students and return it to either Miss George’s office, Schneider 1a, or the marked box at either Junior High Reception or Senior High Reception. The student will then need to register for the Walk, which automatically creates their fundraising page and then seek financial support (through the fundraising page) for their participation in the Walk. Instructions on how to register for the Walk have also been emailed to students. Students who raise $150.00 will receive a free Walk4Brain Cancer shirt, so I encourage all of you to set that target (at least), but you will need to move quickly as we don’t have much time until the Walk and postage can sometimes take time. If you would like to support the day but can’t participate in the Walk, you can support Gould Gorilla in his mammoth effort in trying to raise $1000.00. Please visit HERE to make your donation.

Primary Years
Resilience and persistence can’t be bought
Over the years, parents will ask to meet with me to discuss their child’s development and what more they can do to help prepare their child for the future. I always tell them to prioritise the development of resilience and persistence.
Let’s face it, life is tough, and we know with absolute certainty that our children are going to face countless obstacles along the way as they develop into adults. Unfortunately, you can’t buy resilience and persistence at the shops. It is forged through experience and adversity. Lost sporting fixtures, disappointing results on a test and friendship wobbles provide us with opportunities to support our children in using it as a learning experience that will help them when faced with adversity in the future. It is so important to resist the urge to save our children from disappointment or upset when we actually need to support them in how to navigate these challenges when they come around next time.
My favourite College event each year is our Year 5 Kokoda experience. Our students spend the day at Gap Creek Reserve, divided into platoons and asked to complete a number of challenges through the eyes of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels (native Papua New Guineans) who provided Australian troops with critical support during World War 2. Scaling steep terrain with all platoon members having to hold a rope and carrying injured teammates on stretchers to safety shows that this Year 5 excursion is not for the faint hearted and results in blood, sweat and tears being spilled by the students in completing these tasks. Even when they finally reach their destination at the point of exhaustion, they must work together in their platoons to help prepare lunch for every member. Students divide up the responsibilities and all members are either cooking burger patties, buttering bread rolls or slicing onions and tomatoes in readiness for lunch. I love watching our students roll up their sleeves, grit their teeth and band together as a unit to achieve a task. It is hot, demanding and no doubt at times has each and every student wanting to find air conditioning and have a lay down. It is the day I am most proud of our students as they develop the resilience and persistence required to face the challenges life will throw their way.

Junior High
Junior High News
Welcome to Term 4, which promises to be a busy and action-packed end of the year. There was a great deal of excitement and energy in the air on Wednesday morning as students caught up on their holiday adventures.
YEAR 9 IRONBARK DEPARTURE
On Tuesday morning we farewelled 9JK as they left on their Ironbark adventure. A reminder that an Indooroopilly staff member usually travels to Ironbark each week so if you have any items that need to be delivered for students currently at Ironbark, please drop them into Junior High Reception.
PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIEWS
As you are aware, next Tuesday 10 October we will hold our Parent-Teacher Interview Evening in the Dohler classrooms. These interviews are a wonderful opportunity for parents to meet with teachers and discuss progress, areas requiring attention and strategies for ongoing improvement. These evenings are an important and effective way for parents to meet numerous teachers in a short time. We acknowledge that not all families will be able to be catered for in one evening and remind parents that they are also able to contact teachers at any time throughout the year via email or telephone should they have any questions or concerns. Please direct any queries to Academic Operations (A.Operations@stpeters.qld.edu.au)
Outstanding Service Awards
On several occasions last term, students were reminded to nominate for consideration for the Outstanding Service Awards for 2023. Earlier this year they were emailed an explanation of the award along with a nomination form. These awards recognise students who have actively demonstrated our Christian values of Respect, Care and Concern for others through their outstanding individual contributions and service to Junior High and/or the broader College community.
All students in Years 7–9 are eligible to be considered for these awards and they can self-nominate or a staff member can nominate them. Nominations might be based on:
A record of significant and sustained service during the year - such as volunteering for special events (e.g. Open Days, Junior High Welcome Day, Social Justice Week, Parent breakfasts, Kaleidoscope ushering etc.) either within Junior High or the College as a whole.
A student who has initiated and led a particular service project or fund-raising initiative within the College.
The students who are nominated are usually recognised as being an inspiration and role model to others through their service to Junior High or the general College community.
All nominations will be considered on their individual merits by the Junior High Academic Care and Wellbeing Leadership group, consisting of Head of Junior High, Deputy Head of Junior High and the Year Level Coordinators.
Each year we select between three and eight recipients at each year level in Junior High. It is a very prestigious award with very high standards and expectations and only a handful of the students who are nominated are successful in being selected. The successful award recipients at each year level will be announced at the Junior High Awards Ceremony next month.
We encourage students to apply if they think they think they have shown service and commitment to Junior High or the College this year. Applications are due at Junior High Reception by 3:45pm, Monday 30 October. Those students currently at Ironbark will also have the opportunity to complete forms. Information and an application form can be found on the Year Level Pages on Firefly or a form can be collected from Junior High Reception.
PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS
A number of Junior High classes will have pre-service teachers attached to them this term. Gaining work experience ‘in the field’ is a mandatory part of teacher training and involves a number of stages or blocks of time. Pre-Service teachers work through stages from spending time purely observing classes up to internships where they are given provisional teacher registration and are able to teach, assess and report on units of work. Throughout all of these stages pre-service teachers are supervised, monitored and work closely with experienced teachers. Should you have any queries or concerns please contact the supervising teacher involved.
Uniform reminder
Shop 45 / School Locker has sock garters available for purchase and all boys are asked to purchase a pair. Alternatively, they could make their own from elastic. This is the easiest way to ensure their socks remain up and tidy throughout the day.

State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP)
Congratulations to Dominic B (Year 12), Brandon B (Year 11) and William C (Year 10), who represented St Peters in the State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP) during the last week of the school holidays. This statewide music program, which is run by the Griffith University Conservatorium of Music, involves up to 1000 students from over 250 schools across Queensland.
The three St Peters students all played in the Percy Grainger Wind Orchestra conducted by Jodie Lutherborrow (Director of the Sunshine Coast Wind Orchestra). Dominic played alto saxophone, Brandon played bass clarinet and William played bass trombone. After 15 hours of rehearsals held over three days, they were able to share some of the music that they had been working on with parents and friends in a Finale Concert held at the Conservatorium on Sunday 1 October.

Thank you to all the students, coaches and parents for a fantastic 2023 Tennis season.

Girls Sport Update
Term 4 2023 – Week 1
Welcome back, I hope you all enjoyed a restful holiday break and are ready to go for a short but busy Term 4!
“One of my friends asked, 'Why do you pay so much money for your kid to play sports?' Well, I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kid to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport they do.
So, if I am not paying for sports, what am I paying for?
I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired, they want to quit but don't.
I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is "too tired" to go to their training, but they go anyway.
I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.
I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and equipment.
I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good teammate, gracious in defeat and humble in success.
I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment when she doesn’t get that win or championship she’d hoped for, but still she goes back week after week giving it her best shot.
I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals.
I pay for my kid to respect not only themselves, but other players, officials and coaches.
I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.
I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements and to work towards long term goals.
I pay for the opportunity my kid has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am.
I pay so that my kid can be out on the court instead of in front of a screen...
...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sport provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far, I think it is a great investment!"

It was a brilliant result for the girls as St Peters won the 16 years & 17 years age group and placed 2nd in 13 years and 3rd in the 12 years & 14 years age groups. We are sincerely proud of the girls' team's effort on the day!

Finally, thank you to all parents for your support through the QGSSSA Track and Field season as without this the girls could not have achieved what they have!
Over the first weekend of September holidays a number of St Peters students travelled to Bundaberg to compete in the 2023 QLD School State Rowing Championships. It was a fantastic weekend with St Peters achieving a number of medals across both the Boys and Girls programs. Congratulations particularly to the following podium place getters.
Mia M & Stephanie P – Bronze in the girl’s Year 9 Double Scull.
Sam M – Silver in the boy’s Year 9 Single Scull.
Poppy Y, Niamh S, Megan B, Robyn M and Olivia A – Silver in the Open Girls Coxed Quad Scull.
Stephanie P – Gold in the girl’s Year 9 Single Scull.
It was particularly exciting to see that the Girls Open Eight, made up of Megan B, Niamh S, Poppy Y, Mac B, Jess M, Bella B, Robyn M, Tiare R and Olivia O achieved third place in the Girls Open Eight at this event. This is the first time in over 10 years that St Peters has been on the podium at either the School State Titles or the BSRA Head of the River in this event. This is a fantastic achievement and these girls should be exceptionally proud of this outcome.
Congratulations to all girls and boys that participated and a particular thanks to the coaches and parents that attended to support the students throughout the weekend.
