Implementing Our Masterplan
As communicated to the College community at the start of term, the College’s new facilities Masterplan has received Ministerial Infrastructure Designation from the relevant State Government Minister. I am delighted to advise you that the first major project of our new Masterplan will be the Centre for Learning & Innovation and Campus Heart Project.
The Centre for Learning & Innovation is intended to be a genuine Prep - Year 12 facility located in the heart of the College that serves as an unmistakable statement that improving student learning is our core business. It is also to be an enabler of growth around teaching and learning practice that reflect the best about how students learn and meet the needs of our students, both current and future.
In briefing the architect in their design of the building some of the key high-level overarching principles were:
Flexible architecture to accommodate current and evolving pedagogies and technologies;
Flexibility of function to allow spaces to change and adapt to different uses, dependent on the group/s that are using the space, or the time of the semester or the learning demands of the subject discipline;
Agile with the ability to move seamlessly between the different modes of teaching and learning;
‘Future-proofed’ to enable space to be reconfigured and repurposed easily as the educational landscape changes;
Reflect historical architecture of the Chapel and Langer Library;
Learning Spaces that have multiple use concurrently and consecutively, zoned for sound, safety, behaviours or activities appropriate to the space (e.g. quiet zones, busy focused work zones etc);
Different sections of the building that are at Child/Student Scale e.g. sections specifically for the Primary Years or the Senior Years;
Make a strong contribution toward building a sense of Prep – Year 12 academic community and strengthening of a culture of learning;
An enabler of growth and innovation around teaching and learning practices;
‘Permeability’ – promote flow and connections, between the inside and outside i.e. an indoor/outdoor flow of activity;
Ownership and belonging where students self-select spaces according to their own learning style or study pattern;
Provide the almost ‘invisible’ use of technology to support a range of learning behaviours;
Provide social and linking spaces that enable collaboration;
Energy efficient design; and the
Ability to use the building itself as a learning tool (e.g. rainwater garden).
Based on these briefing principles the architect has designed a building that features learning spaces that promote and enable learning experiences that can best be described as a ‘Learning Space Continuum’. This means that there will be learning spaces within the Centre for Learning & Innovation that promote a range of approaches to learning including-
Small and Large Group Collaboration
Project-based Learning
Maker Spaces
Large Group Front-loading and Focused Learning Year Level Assemblies
Individual & Small Group Study
Break Out Spaces Teacher Teaming
House & Year Level Meetings
Student Multimedia Presentations
Student Work Display & Exhibition Spaces
Social Spaces Informal Learning Spaces
Entrepreneurial & Design Thinking
Transdisciplinary Learning
Independent Learning
As St Peters is an old established site before the College can begin construction of the Centre for Learning & Innovation a series of enabling works must first be undertaken including:
Relocation of Senior School Reception and Offices to the lower floor of Thiele House
Relocation of the Information Services Department to the middle level of Thiele House
Relocation of the Careers Centre to the top level of Thiele House
Relocation of the Print Room to the middle level of the P&F Centre
Construction of the Year 11 locker area adjacent to the Chandler Building
Upgrade to the IT fibre network
These are significant projects in their own right, and will take much of Semester 1 to complete. Once complete, construction of the Centre for Learning & Innovation will begin. This project will run into the 2021 school year. Please stay tuned to The Rock for regular updates on this exciting project for our College.
Separate to the development of new facilities, over the life of the Masterplan many of the existing facilities will be reinvigorated and transformed into contemporary learning spaces. This process began with the classrooms in Lower Dohler at the start of this year, and will continue of this December/January period where two of the Science Labs will be ‘repurposed’ in readiness for the start of the 2020 school year.

Ministry
Firefighters
Pastor Joel Pukallus is Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Chaplain in the Toowoomba region. He highlighted the issues for firefighters in this extreme bushfire season we are experiencing.
Many firefighters have been on high alert since early October. They are tired out, and that is not good in the dangerous conditions they face. Rural firefighters in their home areas may be protecting others, without knowing at times how their own homes or properties are going. The families of firefighters are concerned for their loved ones in dangerous situations, and spend long hours waiting for their safe return. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a very real danger for those who have been through so much.
Fires can be deadly fast with little or no warning. It is devastating for those who have lost homes or animals, and deeply unsettling for those who have been evacuated, and don’t know what they will face when they are allowed to return.
Senior Management in Police and Fire Services have to make decisions that can endanger their workers, and forcibly evacuate people. They have huge responsibilities, and often receive little or no thanks.
Pilots and air crews face dangerous work, dropping water on fires that may be inaccessible to ground crews.
With the current drought finding enough water for fire trucks or water bombers is a big issue. We need drought breaking rains, but there are no signs of that yet.
Thank you to all those who work together and support each other. Thank you to those who provide a safe place for livestock and pets. Thank you to those who provide food and drink to emergency workers and evacuees. Thank you to all those helping in various ways, big and small.
We pray for God’s protection over them all.
Pastor Michael Mayer

Three of our Year 6 Student Leaders sent a proposal to Mr Kotzur requesting that Café 45 and the Grandstand Café replace the biodegradable plastic straws with paper straws. The students wrote a very passionate and convincing argument.
Food Services are happy to support the students and will no longer use plastic straws. As a Department we are very conscious of doing our bit to help the planet. We stopped using plastic plates in 2017 and this term we have set up a recycling station for the boarders. We have also purchased reusable cups for cold drinks, mugs for tea & coffee and we are also providing bamboo cutlery.

German Students Mean Business
This year, for the first time, our students of German participated in the Goethe Institut Unternehmen Deutsch (Enterprise German) project and competition, with wunderbar results! Congratulations to Hugo, Ian and Jacob from Year 9, whose innovative business presentation for the German company DB Schenker, was shortlisted in the top 12, chosen from 96 entries by over 500 students of German nationwide.
The shortlisting earned the boys a trip to Sydney last Friday for the Awards Ceremony, where their presentation for a 'Fly4Schenker' App for freight delivery by private pilots earned them an equal fifth place, as well as praise from DB Schenker’s Chief Commercial Officer, Jarrah Johnson, and Aerospace Operations Manager, Simon Freudl (pictured below with Mr Ganderton, Hugo, Ian and Jacob).
The Unternehmen Deutsch project required students not only to learn in the classroom about business and economic concepts in German, but also to research German-Australian companies, contact and interview staff (in German) and, where possible, visit workplaces to find out more about their chosen company. The culminating task required groups to develop a Geschäftsidee (business idea).
German students in Years 9 and 10 produced a range of creative ideas such as: environmental bags and personal shoppers for Aldi, merchandise for Rheinmetall Defence, newly designed glasses from recycled metal for Dresden Optic, environmentally friendly flight technology for Lufthansa and a pop-up bakery for King of Cakes!
The experience was rich in providing students the opportunity to apply their language skills in real-life settings and also enhance their understanding of the world of work and industry. The Enterprise German project lived up to its name in developing the students’ enterprise as well as their German!

Talking with your child about their report card
It’s almost that time of year again when report cards become available online. Teachers spend a significant amount of time preparing what to write for each individual student; however, it is challenging to portray a child’s entire learning journey in a 'snapshot' document like a report card. While the intended audience of our reports is you as the parent, we certainly appreciate that students too will be interested in how they have achieved, and report cards present an excellent opportunity for discussion and reflection on the year. Here are a few tips for talking with your child about their report card:
Learning-focussed on grades-focussed
When discussing the report card with your child, keep the conversation learning-focussed not grades-focussed. Ask your child about the types of learning activities they worked on that would have led to the grade, their student portfolio is a good reference point. Many times, a grade may stay the same from one semester to the next, but this does not mean that your child has not progressed. There lies a myriad of variances within each grade bracket. In fact, your child may have moved from the bottom to the very top of the same band across the semester, but it will still appear as the same grade. That is why it is crucial to focus on the learning as reflected through the teacher comments and look to the student portfolio to help see the growth a student has made across the year.
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. Ask them to reflect on 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 so well in that subject.
Keep it positive
Try to focus on the positives in the report, whether it be in the effort grade, something written in a 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 overinvested 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 2020. We cannot change what is, only what will be.

Year 6 Exhibition Journey – Matilda R
In Term 3, students in Year 6 embarked on their Exhibition Journey. They were investigating how global citizens have the responsibility to act on inequalities in the world. Students worked collaboratively to investigate an issue they were passionate about and what could be done to help. One of our year 6 students, Matilda R, as part of her action was invited to meet up with Michael Berkman, MP for Maiwar, this week. She sat down with Mr Berkman to discuss the issue of homelessness and what was being done in Brisbane to help people affected by this issue. Matilda has raised awareness for this issue and Mr Berkman was extremely impressed with her drive and passion. Well done Matilda.
Prep Nativity Concert
We celebrated everyone’s year of hard work and dedication with Prep Christmas Concert which was held on Tuesday evening in Belfield Hall. The children were all so excited to present their own version of the Nativity which was a wonderful testament to both the students and the staff who have worked to ensure the youngest of our students shone on the evening! Well done to everyone.
Celebrations
In the last two weeks of term, we celebrate and acknowledge many people and events. Among these are students who are leaving us for new adventures and staff who may be taking leave. This is always an exciting but emotional time for all. This week and next, we will be farewelling members of our community and acknowledging the work they have done and the relationships they have built.
We were also able to farewell our Year 12 students on their final day of school. As is tradition, we formed a Guard of Honour as they processed out of the college for the final time, Our Lower Primary students wrote messages of support and farewell on a school flag and handed these to the older students as they left.
We look forward to the events yet to come in the next week or so and we are very busy ensuring that these run smoothly for the students. I look forward to catching up with many of you throughout the next week at these functions.

End of year ceremonies
There has been much to celebrate in the Senior School in recent weeks. The Year 10 and 11 Presentation Morning was held a couple of weeks ago and it was wonderful to see the PAC so full of parents and special guests acknowledging the efforts and achievements of students in these cohorts. The focus of the morning was on cocurricular excellence with students receiving Gold and Silver awards for Music, Sport, The Arts and Service to the College. Academic Awards will be presented at our Scholars Assembly in Week 1 of Term 1, 2020 once all results have been finalised.
The class of 2019 graduated last Friday on what was a very emotional day for both students and parents. Year 12’s had their Presentation Ceremony which was followed by a wonderful St Peters Tradition – The Guard of Honour. This event is something that the students always look forward to and the excitement and enthusiasm of the younger grades certainly added to the experience. It is a fitting way for the school community to say goodbye and good luck.
That Friday evening the students returned to the College for one last time in their school uniforms to attend the Valedictory Service. It was a terrific night of celebration and reflection. The 2019 School Captains, Ella and Ben, both made outstanding speeches as did our Head of College, Mr Tim Kotzur. We wish the Graduating Class of 2019 all the best in the future – no doubt they will each go on to achieve wonderful things and make valuable contributions to the community.
Next Friday evening we look forward to the Year 11 Graduation Dinner Dance to be held at the Greek Club in South Brisbane. This annual event is a wonderful opportunity to wish the students well as they embark on their final year of schooling, as well as recognise the support offered from both parents and staff. It is an enjoyable evening and one that I always look forward to attending.
With thanks for your ongoing support.
Best wishes,

This is because we are holding our annual St Perers Coaches breakfast that morning and in the afternoon, the number of students attending will be unpredictable, so our Year 7s will only train on Wednesday next week.
Our Australian Volleyball Schools Cup teams are also progressing well in their preparation for the National Tournament on the Gold Coast in three weeks time. This tournament is the perfect lead in to AIC competition and I’m looking forward to seeing the hard work that these boys and their coaches have put in, pay off in 2020.
REMEMBER: Holiday Volleyball Clinics are on again in January during the week prior to students starting back. All students who aren’t still away on holiday during this week are expected to attend these sessions where possible.
On Saturday, the St Peters U13 Div 1 Cricket team (6/142) defeated Souths 8/138. Despite an early wicket from Jack (1/9) the going early was tough for the St Peters bowlers. Backed up by some tight bowling from Noah, Sam and Fletcher. After drinks the boys worked incredibly hard while only picking up the one wicket from Jamie (1/11) they made Souths work hard for every run. Going into the last 6 overs the game was evenly balanced with Souths 3/107 looking to attack with wickets in hand. Thanks to some smart bowling by Kristian (2/7) and Tim (3/27) at the death St Peters fought back to take 5/31 over the last 6 overs to keep themselves in the game with Souths finishing 8/138.
A couple of early wickets had St Peters on the back foot early but Liam (21 n.o.) and Noah (4 n.o.) steadied the ship and with Ashish (35 n.o.) and Kristian (25) taking us to drinks at 3/72. After drinks, Ashish and Kristian continued attacking the bowlers and with Jacob chipping in with a quick fire 11, Ashish ,well supported by a terrific innings from Sam (11 n.o.), saw the team home in the 24th over for one of this teams gutsiest victories.
New Zealand Cricket Tour – Preparations are being finalised for our tour to New Zealand which takes place from 30 November - 9 December. We have three teams travelling on this tour ranging from Years 8-11 students and they will be travelling to Auckland and Wellington as wells as many other towns along the way. They will be getting plenty of Cricket match play in as well as seeing many of the sights of the north island of New Zealand.
REMEMBER: Holiday Cricket Clinics are on again in January during the week prior to students starting back. All students who aren’t still away on holiday during this week are expected to attend these sessions where possible.
As part of our AIC preseason swimming preparations, a ‘Fitness Squad’ has commenced sessions in the 50m pool. All swimmers are welcome to join this squad’s training that will occur on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:30pm – 4:30pm. In order to participate in this squad, a $50 monthly membership fee is required. This covers the cost of SPW coaches and ensures a good quality program is on offer every afternoon. Please note that the fee is made on a monthly basis, and will be charged regardless of how many sessions are attended. Forms to join the fitness squad are available at the 50m pool.
Yours in Sport,

Girls Sport
Last Friday we said farewell to our Year 12 cohort, which was a time of recognition and reflection. In 2019, we thank the Year 12 girls for participating in such a wide range of sport and fitting so much in to their busy academic years. Congratulations to all our Year 12s and particularly those who participated in sport this year and over the past five years for St Peters Lutheran College. Now, we would also like to thank the parents of these girls for supporting their daughters in sport and driving them to training sessions, watching their games and teaching them the importance of commitment to a team. We wish the Year 12s of 2019 every success in their journey ahead and hope that you can continue to be involved in sport and physical activity in some way in life beyond school.
As we approach the end of the 2019 school year it is also a time for us to reflect on our 2019 sporting year. This year our girls have won many premierships across a large spectrum of Autumn and Winter sports. Our QGSSSA Swim Team also won the overall Mollie Gould Cup, as well as many age group premierships. This, in addition to our improved Cross Country (2nd) and Athletics (3rd) placing, reflects an amazing year in Girls Sport. Each of the girls in these teams is to be congratulated on this achievement as winning premierships is not easy and takes a lot of hard work, dedication to training and holding your nerve on the day. Well done girls and thank you for representing the College to such a high standard.
Finally, in Term 4 we have also welcomed our current Year 6 students and future Year 7 students, who will be joining our community and the QGSSSA sporting program at our College in 2020. We hope the girls have been enjoying their first taste of Girls Sport at St Peters. Girls have been coming on a Monday afternoon for Swimming sessions and for Basketball or Touch on a Wednesday afternoon. These sessions provide valuable opportunities for the girls to build relationships with their future peers who they will be playing sport with next year. We also hope girls have enjoyed meeting other new Year 7 students for 2020. We look forward to these girls being part of St Peters Sport in 2020, welcome girls.
It was a great weekend of Water Polo with some very close games and some great wins!! The 12C and 14B teams both had their first wins of the season with the 12Cs notching up a 12-2 win against Somerville and the 14Bs defeating MSM 7-6 in what was a very close game. The 17As had a 6-4 win against BGGS and the Opens had a great 14-2 win against MSM. Apart from the grading game, the Opens team has not lost a game yet which is a great start to the first half of the season.
There is only one round left this term with the BWPI scheduled last games being on 23 November.
