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 />

Wendt and Year 4/5.<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 />

Carolyn Casson<br />

"This year has been an interesting year. I<br />

have learnt a lot with the new sound<br />

systems and enjoyed the year and hope for<br />

the best next 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 />

purchase items at a reduced price (without the $3<br />

handling fee normally added to each item), and of<br />

course you’ll be able to spot the best value uniforms<br />

before anyone else sees them! To register your<br />

interest, please call Linda on 0429 787 982 A.S.A.P<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 />

ACCOUNTS OVERDUE<br />

Please note that all Accounts should have been paid in full<br />

by now, unless you have arranged a payment plan with<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 />
