Year 4/5W NEWS<br />
The highlight of our year was definitely 4/5<br />
camp at Mapleton. It was a wonderful<br />
experience especially for Year 4 with their<br />
first away camp. Amongst the many<br />
activities were abseiling, giant swing (and I<br />
do mean giant – Mrs Wendt and Ms Ellis<br />
wouldn't do it), possum glider, 12 metre<br />
high flying fox, orienteering, canoeing<br />
where a snake was spotted gliding over the<br />
water, water slides and pool, bush skills<br />
and archery. The facilities, instructors and<br />
food were awesome. The night games<br />
organised by Mr Bentley were great fun<br />
and especially enjoyed by Mrs Wendt who<br />
got to act like one of the kids.<br />
A special thanks to Mr Bentley for<br />
organising everything, Mr Lovejoy who was<br />
in great control of the canoeing, Mr Ross<br />
(Harrold) for our thought provoking<br />
devotions and Ms Ellis who was our spare<br />
mum and nurse.<br />
Can't wait for next year's camp … Mrs<br />

JUNIOR COLLEGE News<br />
Year 2/3 B & C have spent the last 6 weeks attending<br />
Maryborough Gymsports for their Physical Education<br />
lessons. Students rotated through 4 activities each<br />
week. They used three different types of<br />
trampolines, the balance beam, uneven bars,<br />
parallel bars, rings and obstacle courses. Students<br />
really enjoyed trying the new equipment and it was<br />
very rewarding to see how much they improved<br />
each week.<br />

GOODBYE MISS DREXLER!<br />
It’s a sad time of year because we have to say goodbye to our<br />
6/7K teacher, Miss Drexler.<br />
We wish her well in her future endeavours at Wondai State<br />
School in a leadership role – we will miss her dearly in Middle<br />
<strong>College</strong>!<br />
Some comments from her students from this year:<br />
‘Hope you have a good time, wish you were my teacher next<br />
year, will really miss you’ – Jade<br />
‘She was really good at teaching math’ ‐ Jacy<br />
‘Miss Drexler is strict but is fun when you’re are good’ ‐ Georgia<br />
‘Miss is a great teacher and I will miss her very much’ – Rachelle<br />
‘She very nice to everyone!’ – Charly<br />
‘She’s always super excited and energetic’ –Year 9 class<br />
‘Goodbye and good luck’ – Brendan<br />
‘She is a great teacher and I will miss her’ – David<br />
“My favourite part of the year was all my fun experiences: the<br />
new friends I made, the jokes my friends and I shared, the<br />
laughs we had. The times when someone would get in trouble<br />
and our friends would sit with them and wait until they could<br />
go. I would never give up all this for anything”<br />
Teagan Brown<br />
“I liked the whole experience! I have made friends. I have<br />
been given great support by teachers.”<br />
Mathan Rogers<br />
This year it has been a great experience to<br />
be part of the <strong>Riverside</strong> tech team, as it<br />
brought participation in many events that<br />
we have been able to learn through. We<br />
have been able to make some new friends<br />
while being part of the experience.<br />
Alexander Nordling<br />
This year for SOSE I went to my first<br />
Chinese restaurant with the whole Year<br />
Nine class, and my friends and I had<br />
more than we needed to eat! In Duke<br />
of Ed. got to visit historical sites in<br />
Maryborough and visited grave sites<br />
(spooky). I got to learn more about<br />
the Anglican Church bell tower and got the<br />
chance to ring it. In agriculture I was<br />
rammed once and kicked in the knee<br />
once by the same cow (ohhh)<br />
So all in all it was a really good year.<br />

News from the CHAPLAIN<br />
Adaptable People<br />
Adaptable: If You Won’t Change for<br />
the Team, the Team May Change You.<br />
“Inflexibility is one of the worst human<br />
failings. You can learn to check impetuosity,<br />
overcome fear with confidence,<br />
and laziness with discipline. But for<br />
rigidity of mind there is no antidote. It<br />
carries the seed of it’s own destruction”-<br />
Anonymous<br />
“Blessed are the flexible, for they shall<br />
not be bent out of shape” – Michael<br />
McGriff<br />
Characteristics of Adaptable People:<br />
Teachable – Diana Nyad said, “I am willing to put myself<br />
through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing<br />
to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me to a<br />
new level. I am interested in the unknown, and the only path to<br />
the unknown is through breaking barriers.” Adaptable people<br />
place a high priority on breaking new ground. They are highly<br />
teachable.<br />
Emotionally Secure – Emotional insecurity sees almost<br />
everything as a challenge or threat towards them. Suspicion or<br />
rigidity is the response to change or the addition of another<br />
talented person to the team. Being emotionally secure allows<br />
us to evaluate a new situation or change based on its merits, to<br />
embrace change and not to fear change.<br />
Creative – Creativity allows us to find a way through difficult<br />
times. There is an expression that says a person’s age can be<br />
better determined by the degree of pain they experience when<br />
they come in contact with a new idea. A Creative person hears<br />
the words “Let’s try it this new way” and responds with, “let’s<br />
try it. Let’s go there even if we blow it.” Not being afraid of<br />
our failure – this can be one of the hardest things for us Adults<br />
to deal with.<br />
Service Minded – people who are focused on themselves are<br />
less likely to make changes for the team than people focused on<br />
serving others. Educator and college president Horace Mann<br />
said “Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one’s self”. If<br />
your goal is to serve the team, adapting to accomplish that goal<br />
is not difficult.<br />
So how are we when it comes to adaptability? If improving the<br />
team requires us to change the way we do things, how do we<br />
react? Are we supportive of new things, or would we rather do<br />
things the way it’s always been done? If a member of the team<br />
is having a problem, are we willing to change positions to help<br />
out? We can be adaptable and we can model adaptability to our<br />
students, imparting to them a skill that will better enable them<br />
to deal with the Journey of Life.<br />

The music department pushes on right to the end!<br />
Earlier this term the taiko group performed at both the<br />
official opening of the hall and awards night, as did the<br />
ever growing jazz band. Also in the awards night the<br />
9/10 music elective class performed Tubular Bells and<br />
Sam Ryan and myself performed Spiegel im Spiegel,<br />
both of which Mrs. McGann had incorporated dance<br />
bringing the arts together.<br />
At the final assembly Dylan Stackman, Daniel Lloyd and<br />
Jaal Hanley performed as a Middle School rock band as<br />
did Liam Taylor, Peter Green and Alicia Walker.<br />
This week we are performing nine traditional<br />
Christmas carols as part of our annual Nine Lessons<br />
service at St. Paul's Anglican church in Maryborough.<br />
Next week Mr. Molen has organised the Junior Choir<br />
along with the String Group and puppet show to<br />
perform at 2 nursing homes to bring them some<br />
Christmas cheer.<br />
Sadly 2 outstanding music students ‐ Peter Green and<br />
Shauna Smith will be leaving us and I would like to take<br />
this opportunity to thank them for all of their<br />
contributions to music at <strong>Riverside</strong> and to their<br />
parents for supporting them.<br />
I would like to publicly thank all of our instrumental<br />
teachers who work hard in the background preparing<br />
and inspiring your children.<br />
May I wish everybody a peaceful Christmas and a<br />
prosperous and Happy New Year ‐ keep those kids<br />
practising. Give a musical instrument gift this<br />
Christmas and get involved in the music events next<br />
year.<br />

The uniform shop needs your unused uniforms now! If you’d like to<br />
make some money on the uniforms your children have grown out of or<br />
will not be needing next year, now is the time to think about logging<br />
them into the uniform shop.<br />
All items will remain your property, be tagged, priced and displayed<br />
until sold. Each semester, a cheque payment will be sent to the parents<br />
whose uniforms have sold during the previous 6 months.<br />
The uniform shop retains $3 of the selling price as a handling fee.<br />
This is a fund-raising project which helps with the provision of leisure<br />
facilities for the students. Previous applications have been sandpit/<br />
playgrounds/seating/shade.<br />
To have the greatest chance of selling, please deliver your washed and<br />
ironed uniforms to the <strong>College</strong> during December as January is our<br />
busiest selling month. It is essential that your items are contained in<br />
a plastic bag clearly labelled with your name and phone number.<br />

Lighthouse Pet Services—2012 Calendars For Sale<br />
Is a non‐profit, volunteer‐run organisation that provides emergency care (including foster care and re‐homing) for<br />
companion animals of individuals in crisis situations (e.g. requiring medical or aged care).<br />
An example of the types of services that they provide are demonstrated through Ellie Watters' case (she has agreed to<br />
share her story)<br />
Mrs Watters was taken to hospital expecting to have to go into long-term aged-care. Worried for her companion, Zoey,<br />
a maltese cross, she rang Lighthouse Pet Services. One of our volunteers picked Zoey up and cared for her in her own<br />
home. She framed a photo and took it to Mrs Watters while she was in hospital. Once Mrs Watters recovered, Zoey was<br />
returned to her. Mrs Watters was ever so grateful to know that her dog was cared for when she needed help of her own.<br />
The money raised from the calendars will go to helping people like Mrs Watters. Money will be used for de‐sexing,<br />
micro‐chipping, vaccinating, and feeding the dogs and cats that come into care. The calendars feature local<br />
Maryborough and Hervey Bay businesses and rescue dogs/cats.<br />
Each calendar is $15.00 See Miss Drexler for your copy. A GREAT Christmas present (especially for animal lovers)!<br />
