Parents, Staff and Students 

Raising children is often quoted as being the hardest job in the world. We, as 

parents and as teachers, want the very best for the children in our care. So, is the job 

of parenting getting harder rather than easier? Technological developments have 

made many of the mundane chores of our everyday lives easier and quicker to 

accomplish, such as housework. We no longer need to spend hours per week hand 

washing and wringing out clothes. We now simply pop them into a washing 

machine that does most of the hard work for us. 

Technology has brought about many time saving devices for us, yet many families 

are more time poor than ever. Advances in technology have also created a world 

where we are accessible 24/7. We can be contacted via a multitude of media at 

anytime by friends, family and work, and this often impacts upon our down time. 

Parents are also working harder than ever to provide a multitude of opportunities for 

their children in order to give them every advantage possible. These tangible 

opportunities are wonderful and reap so many benefits for our children, but what are 

the intangibles that are also important? 

Michael Grose, a parenting expert, espouses that the development of confidence, 

character and resilience are the key areas that will lead to long term achievement 

and success for our children. 

Confidence – taking their place in the world. Developing confidence in your child is 

one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Confident children grow up to be 

confident adults who have a strong sense of self and are able to achieve well in their 

future directions. Fostering a positive mindset and sense of optimism, combined 

with helping your child to overcome fears and anxieties so that they are able to take 

academic and social risks, will develop a lasting self-sufficiency for your child. 

Character – developing the behaviours and attitudes to succeed. Character is about 

doing what is right, not what is easy. 

Resilience – coping with setbacks and hurdles. Many children grow up with a 

natural sense of resilience. They are able to ‘dust themselves off and pick 

themselves up’ after a difficult situation and move on in a positive manner. Not all 

of us, however, have this natural resilience. The good news is that resilience can be 

learnt by developing independence, problem-solving, optimism and social 

connection. 

These three attributes align nicely with our College motto of Excellence, Care & 

Commitment. We, as a school community, continually strive to challenge the 

individual to achieve and act with purpose and character, as noted in our College 

Mission. These are not merely words; they provide the foundation stones for all that 

we do. 

Raising children may be the most difficult job in the world but it is also the most 

rewarding. For advice and strategies that work visit, Michael Grose’s website:

PERFORMING ARTS NEWS 

From Billabong to Broadway and 

Beyond 

Now that the dust has settled on the Gold Coast Eisteddfod 

and the Somerset Festival, our attention has turned to the 20th 

Anniversary performance From Billabong to Broadway and 

Beyond. This performance is on Friday, 8 October, starting at 

6pm in the new Multi-Purpose Centre. 

The programme is divided into 3 sections; a Junior School 

section from 6pm to 7pm, and two Senior School/Alumni 

sections at 7.30pm and 9pm. The Junior School section will 

feature performances from members of all our choirs who did 

so well at the recent Gold Coast Eisteddfod. There will also 

be performances from the Year 6 students who went on the 

Winton trip earlier this term. 

The Senior School sections will include numbers from our 

very successful musical, The Pirates of Penzance and new 

performances from musicals we have not done like, Chicago, 

Wicked, Rent, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Spring Awakening 

and The Jersey Boys. There will be individual numbers from 

fantastic performers such as Juliette Marshall-Hughes and Tim 

Crisp, and Alumni stars such as Lensei Nishizawa, Stephanie 

Eager, Cassie Godbold, Michelle Ford and Jessica Rowntree, 

who will return to entertain us. 

Tickets for From Billabong to Broadway and Beyond are free

Junior Band 


Next term, Junior Band welcomes the instrumental students 

from Year 4 who are ready to play in an Ensemble. The 

current Junior Band rehearsal time clashes with other 

activities for Year 4, therefore Junior Band will move to the 

new time of Thursday morning, commencing at 7:30am. 

In Term 4, Band will recommence in week 2 on the Thursday 

morning, as week 1 holds many rehearsals with our 20 th 

Anniversary celebration activities.

Traditional Japanese Dance Article 

This week, on Tuesday, 7 September, we were fortunate to have the Sakura Dance 

Company, a Traditional Japanese Dance Group on the Gold Coast, visit the 

College again for two excellent performances. They were so impressed by the 

interest everyone showed in their previous performance in May, that they wished 

to come back and show us something different. Well they did not disappoint. 

In the first performance, Chikako Smith, MC and singer, eloquently explained the 

history behind the six traditional dances performed by Junko Thomson, Hiromi 

Karita, Kumiko Kerr, Misako Sakai and Fumiko Miyamoto, mother of Taka in 

Year 12. Yukiko Nihei, Kizuna Taiko instructor, composed the very impressive 

Taiko beat which was played by herself, Junko Thomson and Hiromi Karita. 

In the second Performance, Kumiko Kerr, former parent of the College, was the 

MC and her energy radiated through the crowd and made the audience have a clear 

understanding of the three performances. Firstly, Junko Thompson, Chikako 

Smith and Hiromi Karita entertained us with Kyogen “Busu”, a Japanese 

traditional comedy play. The audience was in stitches with the comedy and 

impressed by the quality of acting displayed by the three ladies. We were then 

entertained by two traditional dances, Fumiko Miyamoto and Misako Sakai. 

Finally, the audience was enthralled by the Taiko Beat as explained above. 

I would like to make a special mention of Miyuki Koido who dressed the women 

in their traditional kimonos. As I have explained before in my previous article 

about the Sakura Dance Company, much time, effort and skill goes into dressing a 

person in a Kimono, and the ladies would not have looked as elegant without 

Miyuki Koido’s expertise. 

I would also like to thank Meiko Kawashima, Tomoko Tomikawa and Yukino 

Madsen for assisting with preparations for the performances. I very much 

appreciate all that they do. Without all the support of the helpful Japanese parents 

of the College and groups, like the Sakura Dance Company, giving so generously 

of their time, the Japanese Culture Club would not be what it is today. Thank you 

all so much for all that you do for the College. Our students are extremely lucky 

to have these experiences and value them greatly. We look forward to welcoming 

you back again next year and cannot wait to see yet another different performance. 

A.B. Paterson College appreciates the time and effort you put into performing for 

us, twice this year, each time with something so special and educational. Should 

anyone be interested in learning traditional Japanese dance, please contact me and 

I will be happy to give you Junko Thomson’s contact details.

40th Annual Queensland MLTAQ Japanese 

Speech Contest 

Many congratulations to Year 9 student of Japanese, Amy Kim, who was 

awarded 3rd prize at the Queensland Japanese Speech Contest, held at the 

University of Queensland, in Brisbane, on Saturday, 28 August. Amy has had a 

golden run in recent speech contests, receiving a Gold Medal at the recent Griffith 

University Speech Contest on the Gold Coast as well. Omedeto gozaimaisu! 

In other speech contest news, the Brisbane Japanese contest will now become a 

part of the Gold Coast Speech Contest, which is held at the Griffith University 

Gold Coast campus every year, in August, from 2011 onwards.

Japanese Restaurant Visit 

What a fantastic culminating activity for our Japanese unit on 

food – visiting a Japanese restaurant! On Thursday, 26 August, 

the Year 9 cohort of Japanese students was treated to a three 

course authentic Japanese meal at Yuuga Restaurant in Surfers 

Paradise. Stepping onto the bus, our expectations were high and 

our stomachs were empty in readiness for the afternoon feast. 

When we arrived, we were treated to a very ‘omoshiroi’ 

(interesting) meal of fried tofu which gave me the opportunity to 

hone my limited chopstick skills. The second meal that arrived 

was ‘obentou’ (Japanese style lunchbox), which consisted of a 

variety of delicious meals including sushi. Typical of the 

Japanese culture, the meals were beautifully assembled in an 

orderly fashion. At this stage, we were replete with food, 

although there were two meals still to arrive. 

Everyone pre-ordered their main which came accompanied with 

a side salad. To conclude our Japanese cuisine experience, we 

were given miso soup which is a truly traditional Japanese dish. 

I can honestly say that, when stepping back on the bus at the end 

of the day, our expectations were met, our stomachs were full 

and our spirits were high. 

Omoideni nokoru shokuji to hitotoki desita. Chefsann, 

Arigatou. (It was a memorable meal and a wonderful afternoon 

– compliments to the chef!)

a Dymocks book voucher. 

The winner of the 

Year 12 Grand- 

Final is eligible for a 

bursary from Bond 

University. 

As soon as we arrived we were seated and given the safety 

instructions in Japanese. Thankfully my table was lucky enough 

to have Saki Abe sitting with us, so we had our own personal 

translator. After the three entrees of beautiful looking food, 

most of the girls at my table were feeling full. I thought, 

“goodie that must be all” but then they came out with our main 

meals, with a bowl of miso soup and some rice. I think that all 

of the students and teachers agree that it was a great afternoon 

The bursary covers 50% of tuition fees of any single or 

combined Bond University undergraduate programme 

(excluding Bond University’s Medical Programme). The 

current value of the bursary is over $30,000. The winner of 

each grand final will also receive a plaque, as a 

commemoration of his/her outstanding achievement. There 

is also an aggregate shield provided in both the Primary and 

Secondary areas, for best-performing school in the finals. 

Mr Ian Taylor – Director of Activities 

On behalf of the students who attended, I would just like to say a 

very big thank you to all the teachers and staff for putting in all 

the hard effort to make this event possible.
