Tomorrow, Friday, is the final day for our Year 12s. It marks the end of their formal educational journey at the College. Tonight, we will celebrate them at their Valedictory Dinner and tomorrow morning we will honour them with a Guard of Honour. For 41 students of the Class of 2024, that journey began with us 13 years ago in Prep, with others joining as the years progressed. Whether our Year 12s have been with us for 13 years, six years, or one year, I wish to acknowledge and thank each member of the class of 2024 for the contribution that they have made to St Peters.

As a year level, they have been a talented group. They have excelled across a range of endeavours—in the classroom, in a variety of sports, in music and the visual arts. They have led the way with events like SPYGT and House Sports Carnivals and enhanced the School Spirit amongst the student body through initiatives such as Focus Round. The way that they have sung, played a musical instrument, or painted canvases has helped to grow the outstanding reputation for the arts that St Peters enjoys. They have achieved great sporting successes that will become part of St Peters folklore. Their desire to make a difference was evident in various service activities, social justice initiatives and myriad community service events. The diversity of their achievements reflects the diversity of St Peters. Across an array of endeavours, they have left their mark on our great College.

St Peters, though 79 years old, is what it is today, not because of any single defining event or moment; rather, it has come about because of what each individual brings to our community. There is a piece of each member of the Class of 2024 in St Peters. They will always be part of the St Peters story, just as St Peters will always be part of their story.

We wish the Class of 2024 God’s richest blessing as they begin the next phase of their life’s journey and look forward to their continuing involvement in our community through SPOSA as a ‘Saint for Life’.

May the feet of God walk with you, and his hand hold you tight.
May the eye of God rest on you, and his ear hear your cry.
May the smile of God be for you, and his breathe give you life.
May the child of God grow in you, and his love bring you home.

'Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.' 1 Corinthians 12:31

I met Jesus online earlier this year. Not the real Jesus, but an Artificial Intelligence version of Jesus called 'Ask Jesus'. This AI Jesus answers questions about anything. He pauses, states the question, then proposes an answer. “Jesus, can you help me pass my exam?” “Thank you for your question, Squirrelbabe91. I give you my peace to be with you. Study well before the exam and you will likely perform well.”

Sometimes AI Jesus’ answers sound reasonable. Sometimes he sounds non-committal. AI Jesus does quote from the bible, but he does seem to fall back on favourite texts to make general points about respecting others rather than giving answers that are too directive.

I have two issues with AI Jesus. One is about the quality of his advice—I think he could do better. The other issue is why anyone would take advice from a bot.

The problem with all AI is that it is a compilation of what’s on the internet. The quality of this is variable at best. What is on the internet is what we put there. So, AI is a reflection of us. We need an excellent application of the Scriptures, in this case, for AI Jesus to be of any help. Generally, we need excellent results from our AI investigations, which in many fields will be difficult or near impossible to achieve. And we simply won’t follow a machine for matters of faith, discernment, morality and ethical standards.

The St Peters mission is 'Excellence in Christian Co-education'. This week we gathered to acknowledge the achievements of our students at our Secondary Awards Ceremony. We celebrate excellence. The world needs excellence in every field of endeavour. The Apostle Paul describes what excellence looks like: true excellence is love, and the most excellent way is the way of love.

Then Paul says, “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.” And he goes on to talk of the futility of a life without love. We can have extraordinary abilities, but these are of no worth if we do not have love. As we celebrate excellence, we see the most excellent way is the way of love.

I learned something recently about the word 'excellent'. The word 'excellent' appears in print in English for the first time in John Wycliffe’s translation of the Bible in 1384.

1 Corinthians 12:31 says, 'But sue ye the betere goostli yiftis. And yit Y schewe to you a more exellent weye.'

The New International Version renders this as, 'Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.'

The foremost use of the term 'excellent' actually speaks about love. Love will transform our world. Imagine if AI learned from this kind of excellence!

As we celebrate excellence this week, we remember we can all be excellent to each other as we love one another, as our Lord Jesus has loved us.

The purchasing process for resources has been streamlined for 2025 with a new partnership with Campion Education. In the coming days, families will be receiving an email from Academic Operations outlining subject allocations for 2025 along with the steps to purchase resources. In anticipation of receiving this email, please check your filters to ensure it doesn’t go to a Junk folder. Resource lists and purchasing information is also listed on Firefly.

Students will be able to access digital textbooks via the Campion MyConnect2 platform. A student St Peters Microsoft account is required to log in. Parents of new students receive instructions on this process within one month of their child's commencement at the College. Purchases made before account activation are still processed but not accessible until login is finalised. Students will be shown how to access the MyConnect2 platform in their lessons in 2025.

To ensure students will have everything they need in time for the first day of school, we encourage families to place orders by the recommended deadline to guarantee timely delivery.

For assistance with orders, please contact Campion Education via one of the following:

Learning-Focused, Not Grades-Focused

When discussing the report card with your child, keep the conversation learning-focused, not grades-focused. Ask your child about the types of learning activities they worked on that would have led to their grade. When reading the end-of-semester report, please do this in conjunction with your child’s student portfolio as a reference point. Teacher feedback on various learning experiences will provide a window into the teaching and learning that occurred over the semester.

All Students are Different

Students all have different strengths and areas of achievement, as well as areas for growth and improvement. Comparing your child’s report with that of a sibling or family friend is not helpful. Instead, focus on the growth your child has made from the beginning of the year to the end; for example, look at writing samples in their portfolio or talk about improvements you have seen in their reading. Read their personal reflection and discuss where they feel they have grown the most and where they could improve next year. Find the areas where they shine at school and talk about why they think they do well in that subject.

Keep it Positive

Try to focus on the positives in the report, whether it be in the effort grades, something written in the Pastoral Care comment or an improvement in a subject grade. Be specific about the praise you offer rather than using words like ‘clever’ and ‘smart’, as these can put unnecessary pressure on a student. For example, I’m really pleased with what your teacher has said about your knowledge of fractions in Maths. I know you have been working hard on that and I can see you have made an improvement. Having open discussions about the report card lets your child know that you are supporting them in their learning and is an important motivator, inspiring them to do their best.

Finally, remember that report cards are a summary of student achievement that sits alongside everything else you know about your child as a learner. Sometimes, as parents, we are over-invested in the grades our children bring home. Use the report card as a tool for reflection and goal setting in readiness for a fresh start in 2025. We cannot change what is, only what will be. Further information about reporting and achievement standards is also available on Firefly.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

JUNIOR AFL

Coordinator: Mr Peter Hicks – p.hicks@stpeters.qld.edu.au

Last Saturday marked an outstanding end to the season for the Year 8A team, who finished the season undefeated with a win against St Margaret’s to win the 2024 QGSSSA Pennant. Congratulations to the team and their dedicated coach, Dean, on this incredible achievement.

It was equally rewarding to see the Year 7A team finish their season on a high note with a well-deserved win. As Mr Kotzur shared with the team on Saturday, their significant improvement throughout the season has been impressive. A big thank you to their coach, Mr Cant, for his guidance and support.

A reminder that all Year 7A and 8A guernseys should now be returned. For those still playing this Saturday, guernseys must be returned after the final game. Please remember to bring a spare top to change into.

Well done to all players and coaches on a fantastic season!

WATER POLO - BRISBANE METROPOLITAN JUNIOR COMPETITION

Coordinator: Miss Hannah Le Sage - H.LeSage@stpeters.qld.edu.au

We sincerely thank the P&F community for this grant which enabled us to purchase 90 custom St Peters branded Water Polo balls. The girls were absolutely thrilled and filled with excitement to be able to train and play with brand-new, high-quality balls from KAP7. This grant has made a significant impact, boosting team morale and providing the players with the best equipment for their development and enjoyment of the sport. We are deeply grateful for the continued support and for making this possible.

It’s been fantastic watching the girls improve week after week! With only three games left in the 2024 season, we're looking forward to finishing strong. The captains' Water Polo Weekly newsletter has been a hit with both students and parents and the captains, along with the rest of the Opens Team, have done an incredible job creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere with the Water Polo community.

Bring on Round 6!

Walking around and visiting our sporting venues over the past week, it’s been fantastic to witness and see the enthusiasm and energy of the St Peters boys participating in pre-season training and games. Preparations are taking place in readiness for the 2025 St Peters sporting year with boys engaging in Cricket, Volleyball, Australian Rules, Swimming, Rugby development, Football development and various Athletic Development programs with the College gym.
