LAST EDITION’S MATH PROBLEM:
This one had everyone stumped. No winner :‐(
Students celebrating the finish of Year 12 drive along the
street at a speed of 60 km per hour* while sounding a
whistle that has a frequency of 1200 Hz. Other students
standing on the side of the road hear the noise as the car
approaches and goes away. What is the apparent frequency
of the whistle as the car approaches and as the car goes
away? (The speed of sound is 330 metres per second*)
Solution:
Use Doppler effect equation
One equation can be used for all situations, using a positive or
negative to take account of the relative motion of the source or
observer. This equation is:
f'=f(v±v0)/ (v ± v0)
where f' is the apparent frequency; f is the frequency of waves produced
by the stationary source; v is the velocity of the waves; vs is the
velocity of the source; v0 is the velocity of the object.
frequency heard by observer when car is approaching = 1264 Hz
(hertz)
frequency heard by observer when car is going away = 1142 Hz

Athletics Carnival—Junior College
Students had a great day.
Prep—3 on campus and
Years 4—7 at the Tinana
Athletics Grounds.
A list of the students
aged 10 to 12 who are
now eligible for the Zone
competition can be found
on page 7. Well done to
the staff who organised
a great day. Thanks goes
also to our fantastic
parents who supported
the day in various ways.
LITERACY TESTING FOR STUDENTS & STAFF
Jack and Jeannie McMaster from Dryden, Ontario in
Canada visited our College last week, and provided our
teachers with insights into effective practice in reading
and oral language for our students. Jeannie, who is a
literacy specialist in Ontario, visited classes from Prep
to Year 8 and it was the turn of our teachers to
become students, as they learnt about effective
instructional practices in the classroom.
‘It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from experts,
who have been in a system that has progressed from
adversity to triumph in the educational realm.” Mrs
Deans said.
Monday 6 August Prep - Year 2 will be attending Me and My Shadow@ the
Brolga Theatre Leaving the College at 9.30am
An enchanting tale of shadows, lights, music and wonder. Making friends with your shadow can be a tricky business. There
are things to sort out, negotiations to be made, frustrations to be overcome, problems to solve, adventures to be had and
laughter to be shared. Me and My Shadow is presented in the form of a visual poem for children. The show tells its story
using the languages of paper, light, shadow, colour, water, music, sound and words. With fantastical imagery, quirky
physical performances and an intriguing score, Me and My Shadow, seeks to ignite the imaginations of 4‐8 year olds in a
poetical experience that explores the frustrations and joys of friendship.
The Ned show was at Riverside last Monday.
Students in Prep ‐Year 5 took part in this character building assembly.
What is the Ned Show?
The NED Show is a high energy, 45‐minute motivational
assembly featuring NED and lots of active participation for
kids. The NED Show utilises a multi‐sensory learning
model to motivate…encourage…INSPIRE students to
become champions at school and in life. The show teaches
three critical skills that bring out the champion in every kid by sharing the story
of NED, whose name is also an acronym.
These three simple principles can make a profound difference in every student,
as well as create a strong impact on the culture of your entire school. By the
time the assembly is dismissed, students will know that there is a Champion
inside of everyone!

Year 9 Camp
Year 9 students enjoyed their camp at Flame Lily
Adventures on the Burrum River.
The activities were amazing and included laser
skirmish, a giant flying fox and the greatest relay of
all time. These were capped off with a sky diving
demonstration (including Mr Ball and
Mrs Carpenter!) and a free‐for‐all marshmallow
fight around the campfire.
The three day camp was all about enhancing
relationships and building trust within the Year 9
cohort. Friendships were forged, fears overcome,
and memories made that will last forever.

Garage Sale Fundraiser for Fiji
Middle College students provided a fun‐filled morning at the
Garage Sale. Their fundraising activities and food was amazing.
It was very encouraging to see them working during the
weekend as an act of service for the students in Fiji.
Well done!
This year on the 6/7 camp we had the time of our lives.
The bus trip on the way down was pretty boring, but
when we got to Maranatha the fun kicked in. Straight up
we where participating in many different team and trust
building activities, most people where pushed to there
limits and made to face their fears. Some of the activities
we did were possum pull, abseiling, and mid ropes
course. We also had to do challenge trail, which was a
congo line of people walking through small puddles and
rocks BLIND FOLDED! This activity tested our trust in the
other 6/7 students.
Another activity we participated in was leap of faith
where we climbed up a tree – using a ladder of course –
walking on a plank – which was only 20 cm wide!! –
Leaping off the plank to try and touch a ball suspended –
they used a safety harness also. One of the night time
activities included an aboriginal man coming in to talk to
us about his culture and to share his stories with us. On
the way back from camp we where lucky enough to stop
off at Mc Donalds for lunch where everyone went crazy
on junk food. Overall it was an awesome camp!!
We would like to thank Mr and Mrs Harrold, Ms
Mathews, Mrs Carpenter and Mr Nehow for coming
along and making our time a blast!!

EDUCATION AND FAITH
News from the CHAPLAIN
I have spent time over the past 5 weeks with a Pastor from Pakistan who has
started a small Christian School within his community. Ps Arif Alshiq shared
some stories with me regarding the struggle many people face in Pakistan in
order to gain an education. There are few schools available and the cost to
attend is so great that many young children are growing up without the ability
to even read their own language. In order to make a difference Ps Arif and his
wife decided to start a small school that would offer a free Christ centred
Ps Arif Sharing with Year 11 & 12 students
education to any children of any faith and background. This school has begun to tech the basics of reading, writing and
Mathematics to 135 students, many of whom are street kids, including 35 children from Muslim families. By giving these
children a foundation of faith and education they are given a hope for a better future. How fortunate we are to be
living here in Australia to be blessed with a school like Riverside Christian College that also strives to give our children a
strong foundation of faith and education.
I am truly thankful that I have the opportunity to see my children attend Riverside Christian College, and I am also
thankful for the passion and commitment of people like Ps Arif who serve to give hope and Gods love to those who need
it most.

Mrs McGann was very

Last term our young string ensemble joined the talents of the
Maryborough State Schools in two days of combined string
workshops. This was a great chance for the young musicians to
perform on the Brolga Theatre stage. Some students were
performing for their friends and families for the very first time.
In the final week of term selected students were invited to join the
Hervey Bay school workshops and they were accompanied by the
Queensland Youth Orchestra. This fantastic opportunity allowed our
students to rub shoulders with some of Queensland’s most
promising string students and to play in an orchestra conducted
by Chen Yang.
A big congratulations goes to Yasmin Shilvock who received both
High Distinction and Credit rating for her Australian Music
Examinations Board violin practical exams earlier in the year.
Also, congratulations to Rebekah and Beth Simpson who also
received Honours and High Distinction respectively in their AMEB
violin exams.
