Strong first impressions
Dear Members of the Terrace
Family,
As we approach the midway
part of Term 1, I thought it may be
an opportunity, with a new lens, to
briefly reflect on my perceptions of
Terrace based on my five weeks as
Principal of the College. Needless to
say my perceptions are very positive,
however, like any organisations
there are potential areas for growth.
The list below is by no means
exhaustive but rather some selective
perceptions. I have made similar
comments to the staff and students
St St Joseph’s College
Gregory Terrace
earlier this week. My observations
include:
• Very strong culture of learning
• Committed staff
• Hard working and motivated
students
• Highly developed educational
support structure – Learning
Enrichment/Tutoring
• Involved parents (Supporters’
Groups, Information Nights,

The locker room
A full round up of sport, at the
halfway mark of term, will appear in
The Locker Room online tomorrow.
All the Term 1 sports - Volleyball,
Swimming, Rowing and Cricket -
are covered along with pieces from
Director of Sport Mr Damien Wright
and an introduction from College
Principal Dr Michael Carroll, and
more.
And it won’t be 100 per cent sport.
Culture will feature Backstage on
the back page of The Locker Room.
The Locker Room will be published
online twice a term - at the halfway
mark and the end of the season.
Hence no sport in this week’s
Terrace News.

Strong first impressions (cont’d)
• High-quality Sport and Culture
programs
few editions of the Terrace News I will
further expand on each key focus area.
Demonstrating excellence in
professional expertise
• Some outstanding facilities (Years
5/6 Classrooms, College Chapel)
• Some facilities requiring upgrade
• Strong Year 12 student leadership
• Good school spirit that can be
further strengthened
• Outstanding facilities at Tennyson
• Strong Pastoral Support Program
(House system, Buddy system)
• Impressive Camp and Retreat
program
• Eddies Van
• Some parents still doing U turns on
Rogers Street
• Potential to enhance some
administrative processes
• Great ‘Tuckshop’
• A very welcoming community.
These are just some of my early
perceptions and as you can note, I
have been very impressed with Terrace
and strongly believe that the Terrace
Family is very real.
The co-curricular programs continue
to gain momentum and this week at
the College Assembly the Captains
of Debating were announced. I
congratulate
Patrick Cross - Captain of Debating
Kieran Cook - Vice-Captain of
Debating
I am confident that these young men
will lead the Debating Program with
distinction.
At the information nights that have
been held over the last few weeks, I
identified six focus areas for the College
Leadership Team for 2015. I only briefly
spoke of these areas and over the next
The focus areas are:
1. Stewardship
2. Teaching and Learning
3. Terrace Family
4. Mission and Identity
5. Co-curricular
6. College Leadership Team identity.
To begin this week I will detail our CLT
Mission for 2015. It reads:
“The College Leadership Team (CLT)
actively leads and empowers the
Terrace Family to live the College’s
Mission as a Catholic School in the
Edmund Rice Tradition.
We are committed to pursue with
energy and vigour a shared vision
of:
Contemporary responses to the Gospel
Holistic Catholic Education
The pursuit of excellence
Presence to the Terrace Family and the
fostering of right relationships
Reflection and renewal for growth and
improvement
Open and transparent communication
We will do this by:
Being authentic to the EREA Charter
Respectful dialogue
Active presence and engagement with
the Terrace Family
Celebrating and empowering the
diversity of all staff
Use of data to inform our practices
Promoting ‘best practices’ in Boys’
education
Committing to ongoing formation and
professional development
Modelling of a strong work ethic
Engaging expertise from within and
external to the Terrace Family.”
Over the following weeks I will detail
each of the six focus areas.
Finally, this week I ask that you keep
in your thoughts and prayers all those
people in the Terrace Family that need
our support. As a family we are there
to support and nurture each other,
particularly in times of need.
Have a great week.
God Bless
Dr Michael Carroll

College Dean, Mr Chris Ryan
Supporters’ Groups - This evening,
the Chairs of the various Supporters’
Groups of the College will gather for the
first time for the year. The depth of support
that the College enjoys is quite remarkable
and the leadership of these people is
very important to the living culture of the
school. At last count, I believe there are 19
Supporters’ Groups and the wider parental
engagement across this diverse range of
activities is a blessing. In particular, these
gatherings are enhanced by formation
around our identity as a Catholic School
in the Edmund Rice tradition through the
four touchstones of our charter; Liberating
Education, Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive
Community and Solidarity and Justice.
Our Supporters’ Groups animate our
holistic education menu, consolidate our
relationships and provide opportunities for
service, inclusivity and community building.
Tonight’s meeting is an opportunity for us
all to understand one another’s goals and
to work with one another in realizing them
within the context of our culture and identity.
Thank-you to the hundreds of parents who
engage with our groups and give so much
to the experience of Terrace students.
Staff movements - This week, we welcome
back Mr Glenn Brown, our Property and
Services Manager, from a well-earned long
service leave break. Mr Brown is a loyal,
generous and long-serving member of staff
who is the epitome of what our community
is about. I wish to acknowledge Mr Peter
Ford, Mr Peter Eades, Mr Omar Murua,
Mr Mark Pulpett and Mr John McDonald
for their committed work while someone
who knows Terrace inside-out has been
on break. Omar completed his time with us
this week and we wish him every success.
We also welcome Mrs Therese Feagan
to the role of Assistant to the Director
of Communications, Mr David Potter.
Therese joins us while Mrs Alex Ardourel
is on maternity leave. We offer Alex, her
son Auguste Roy who arrived on Monday
morning, and husband Julien, our very best
wishes and congratulations.
Building update - The recent weather
has been challenging our timelines but
the roof repair on the Music and Science
building nearest the bottom car park is now
nearing completion. The big job of replacing
the copper roof on the Centenary Building
(middle building on the Victoria Street side)
is now almost complete. The project team
will now commence the replacement of
the copper roof on the Level 5 staffroom
building - the staff are to be commended
and thanked for their extraordinary patience
as we have worked through this extended
project. There are several other smaller
projects that are still being worked on as
a result of the November storm event on
Level 8 in the GT125 building and in the
Treacy Building in particular. Through good
planning and co-operation with our project
management team, there has been minimal
impact on teaching and learning but we
thank all students and teachers for their
ongoing co-operation. Finally, the scope
of the repair required in the Drama and
Film and Television classrooms has been
completed and this refurbishment will take
until the end of Term 2 to complete. Our goal
is that these two subjects ultimately gain
better classroom spaces and resources as
a result.
Dean of Students, Mr Damien Fall
One aspect of maintaining high
standards in schools involves the
concept of ‘sweating the small stuff’.
This means that, while keeping a close eye
on the big educational, behavioural and
pastoral issues, it also is important to have
high expectations around matters such as
hair and uniform.
This week, I would like to target school
socks as a topic of interest. It is expected
that students wear their socks fully pulled up
at all times, including while travelling to and
from school. The problem is, many boys like
to recycle socks that are too old and small
for them, so keeping them up becomes
impossible. I would ask that parents assist
us by doing an ‘audit’ of school socks and
possibly purchase some new pairs if some
are past their best. Garters also are a
wonderful idea and can be a great help in
this regard – a few pieces of elastic are a
simple solution. I ask for parental support
with this matter as it is important that the
uniform is worn well.
It is not often that the entire round of GPS
sport is cancelled as occurred during last
weekend’s weather event. No doubt, there
were many unhappy boys who missed out
on their weekly fix of competitive sport. As
I enjoyed a more relaxed Saturday than
usual, I reflected on the importance of
young men being kept active and taking
part in healthy, competitive sport. Not only
does it bring physical benefits but there are
great opportunities for personal growth that
come from team competition. As always, I
strongly encourage our young men to be as
widely involved as possible.
Next Friday 6 March, the GPS Swimming
Championships will be held at BAC. To
provide support for our swimmers, we will
be sending students from Years 5, 6 and
7 as spectators after morning Tutor Group
until lunch time. Students from Years 8 and
12 will be leaving the College after lunch to
support our swimmers. Each year level is
expected to attend only one GPS event per
year, and I ask that all of these students are
in attendance. I will write to all families with
further details in the next few days.
As we have hit the mid-term mark, we are
around the time when some students will
again become due for a haircut. It would be
appreciated if parents could be proactive in
this regard and arrange for this to happen
if required. The College guidelines for
haircuts can be found in the student diary.
I hope that our students are well into routine
with homework, assignments and revision.
The term is racing away and good planning
and time management are essential keys to
success. I wish all of our young men well
with their studies and encourage them to
always give their very best.

Dean of Studies, Mrs Julie Quinn
As Week 5 comes to a close, I hope that
all our boys are confident that they are
striving to do their best.
This week is the start of our “accountability”
week with assignments starting to be due.
As such, it is most important that key dates
from assessment calendars are in diaries
and time is being invested into planning and
drafting for these assignments. With much
support offered at Terrace to students,
assignment work should be where we
maximise our outcomes.
One of the key strategies that we have
discussed with students is their requirement
to log their hours in their diary. I use the
analogy of elite sports people who are able
to exactly quote their training schedules
of the number of kilometres swum or run.
They are able to link their outcomes back to
their commitment in their programs.
It is most important that students are also
aware of the time invested in their subjects
and the subsequent outcome from these
subjects. I also would very much
appreciate if parents could continue to sign
the diary on a weekly basis. Your support
and interest is paramount to the best
possible outcomes.
Last week our Senior students completed a
workshop in the rules and formats of genres
for the writing task. These workshops
were followed by an actual attempt at a
writing task paper. We will receive results
from the external markers that will allow
us to shape further directions but the
focus and commitment of our Seniors in
these workshops and practice paper were
exemplary.
I will continue to track and monitor student
usage of laptops with the help of our
IT Department. To date, I am pleased
that the majority of our boys are using
devices for the intended reasons. Our
wonderful tradition of academic excellence,
exemplified at our recent Medal Assembly,
would be at risk if students chose to use
their BYOD unwisely.
Many great stories are told and enacted at
Terrace daily - something that I feel most
privileged to be sharing. When speaking
with a current Year 12 student about his
progress this year compared to last year,
he responded very positively indicating
that he was investing much more time in
his studies and felt that he would produce
much stronger outcomes this year.
When asked why this was happening he
responded by saying that he had shut down
his Facebook account, had a study plan,
was doing homework and regular revision,
was exercising and eating well, was going
to bed at a good hour so he could be fresh
for school the next day which resulted in his
being very focussed in the classroom and
hence understanding work much better.
My next question was: “How and why
did you do this?” His answer: “Over the
holidays I reflected on the times when I
was intending to commit to something and
then didn’t follow through. I don’t want my
life habits to follow this pattern so I have
committed “.
So many of our young men are inspirational.
PREPARATION IS VITAL TO SUCCESS IN EVERYTHING A TERRACE GENTLEMAN
DOES – INCLUDING QCS.

Middle School, Mr Russell Cooper
While listening to the Ash Wednesday
Liturgy message it occurred to me
that parallels can be drawn between that
service and the Scholars Assembly, in which
OP 1 students were commended on their
success. During the Scholars Assembly
a week prior, Dean of Studies Mrs Julie
Quinn relayed some of the strategies that
each boy used in their quest for excellence
and it was apparent that sacrifice was a
common theme.
Sacrificing something for Lent, be it
chocolate or time on the PlayStation 4,
can in the long run teach us to appreciate
those things even more. The same can be
said for study. By sacrificing leisure time
for revision or study, students can reduce
stress and feel well-prepared for a task or
exam. Hopefully this will transfer into better
grades, and to paraphrase 2104 School
Dux, Declan Sela: The hard times are
forgotten but the achievement is not.
That is not to say that leisure time should
be forsaken altogether. Indeed, two of the
OP1 graduates, Lachlan Ho and Thomas
Mulherin, spoke of the need to intersperse
study with relaxation time. Ideally, leisure
time should include family time and also
what *Hodapp and Hodapp (1991) call
incentives. Incentives, need not (and nor
should they not) be simply material reward.
Encourage your son to break up homework
with a run or a swim or even some television
time. Remember, that ultimately, by the
time your son reaches the Senior phase of
his schooling at Terrace, the hope is that he
will be a self-guided, intrinsically motivated
learner and by then, study and homework
are as much a part of his routine as dinner
or breakfast.
Congratulations to all Middle School
Academic medal winners, who no doubt
made many sacrifices to achieve such
outstanding results last year, it is just the
kind of reward of which Declan Sela spoke.
A reminder to all students that not only are
a number of assignments due in over the
next week or two, but a number more will
be distributed. Be sure to keep your study
planner updated and all the best.

Dean of Identity, Mr Peter Finnigan
Lent is a season of 40 days, not counting Sundays, which begins
on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. Lent comes
from the Anglo Saxon word lencten, which means “spring.” The 40
days represent the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, enduring
the temptation of Satan and preparing to begin his ministry.
Lent is a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming
of Easter. It is a time of self-examination and reflection. In the early
church, Lent was a time to prepare new converts to Christianity for
baptism.
Today, Christians focus on their relationship with God, often
choosing to give up something or to volunteer and give of
themselves for others as a sign of wanting to become a better
person and closer to God.
This week our students begin their annual Lenten Appeal to support
their House Friendship Groups. I have been impressed by the
initiatives of our Senior student leaders who are working with their
Houses to raise awareness and funds to assist their Friendship
Group.
From Pope Francis:
Jesus assured those burdened by
sorrow and crushed by poverty that
God has a special place for them
in his heart. ... We are called to find
Christ in them, to lend our voice
to their causes, but also to be their
friends, to listen to them, to speak for
them and to embrace the mysterious
wisdom which God wishes to share
with us through them.
DID YOU KNOW……According to
Amnesty International, 1 in every
115 people on earth are refugees,
and a new refugee is created every
21 seconds… Concerning isn’t it!

Director of Culture, Mr Matt Cocking
While the year feels so young when you
look closely at statistics and dates for
some of our activities it is close to over. I am
a strong believer that you get out what you
put in and I feel proud to see our Terrace
Gentlemen strive to achieve and feel their
passion for their activity when we speak.
This week we honoured our debaters
with a Spirit Assembly and handing out
Debating badges to our Senior A team.
The lunchtime entertainment was a hit last
week with the 360 AllStars performing their
Street Circus in the Primary Quad and this
week will see the first of our Terrex Radio
lunchtime concerts. Friday’s concert will
feature ‘DJ Lacey’ AKA James Lacey Year
12 as he spins his decks playing original
and covers music. We hope to see this
grow with special guests in weeks to come.
Terrex Radio will play Friday lunchtime in
the Campbell Centre.
Farewell to the Gallipoli Choir - It is at this
time that the tour for these gentlemen
becomes more real as their journey
unwraps. On 2 March the Gallipoli Choir
will record at Ghost Gum Studios with
the Australian Army Band. The recording
will be used for play back on ABC TV
throughout the Gallipoli campaign. Monday
16 March is the date for the Blessing and
Commissioning as we officially farewell
these students. This is open to the public
and will begin at 6pm in the All Hallows’
Chapel. Friday 20 March is the farewell
concert Trivia and Tunes for the College
Community in the Primary Quad starting at
7pm. Tables of 8-10 are available through
College Events. On7 April the Australian
Army Band Brisbane come to Terrace
for final rehearsals with our choir before
departing for the shores of Turkey on 17
April. Well done to the boys, families and
their directors Mrs Bernadette Debattista
and Mr Tim Sherlock.
Funding for our choirs to represent
Australia - It is a great honour for the
College to have been chosen out of many
community choirs to represent Australia in
Gallipoli and this has extended further this
year with another tour in August performing
at Hagria Irene in Istanbul and Lone Pine
at 100-year commemorative ceremonies.
To allow more of our families to have this
experience Dr Carroll and I have found
additional funding which we will be shared
across both tours in 2015. In addition to this
we now have more positions for the August
tour. Please contact the Culture Office for
tour information.
Sign up now - The following activities are
now available via the Parent Lounge.

Music, Mr Brad Esbensen
This Thursday evening, 26 February,
we will be holding a Smart Music
information evening in the GT 125 Theatre
for the Year 5 students and their parents.
The evening will commence at 6pm and will
be a great opportunity to learn how to use
Smart Music and meet the Music staff.
Next Thursday evening, 5 March, we
will be holding our first Chamber Music
Concert for the year. These concerts
provide a wonderful opportunities for solo
performances for those in the Year 12
Music Extension class, students preparing
for AMEB exams as well as those who
simply want to perform a piece they may
be working on in lessons, as well as some
small group performances. Please see
your Music teacher if you are interested in
performing. The concert will be held in the
Edmund Rice Theatre at Waterford Place
and will commence at 6pm.
On Wednesday 11 March, many of our
groups will be performing at the College
Open Day. Once the program has been
finalised, event memos will be sent out
detailing performance times, venues and
dress code for the afternoon. It promises to
be an exciting afternoon; showcasing many
of the wonderful ensembles we have here
at Terrace.
Congratulations to the Red Concert Band
who performed a rousing rendition
of Waltzing Matilda arranged by their
conductor, Mr Jan Hewerdine, as part of
Tuesday’s Assembly. The Red Concert
Band is one of a few new ensembles that we
have started this year. The group provides
performance opportunities in a wind band
setting for our young high school and more
advanced primary school students. Next
week is a Spirit Assembly for Swimming
and there will be no featured musical item.
Practice tip of the week: Frequent
practice throughout the week in short
sessions is much more beneficial than trying
to fit long practice sessions into a couple
of days. When time and opportunities
for actual practice on the instrument are
limited, try reading through your music, as
you would a book, and imagine how it will
sound and visualise yourself performing it
on the instrument.
The Terrace Music web pages are a great
source of information. Should you wish to
make contact with the director of a particular
ensemble, please check the ensembles
page and the staff page to find out who’s
who in Terrace Music. If you are unsure
of who to contact, please e-mail music@
terrace.qld.edu.au and we will be able to
put you in touch with the right person.
Please continue to pray for Mr Barry Bobart
and his family.

Waterford Place, Mr Damien Cuddihy
Last Friday we gathered on the Basketball court at Waterford
Place to watch an educational presentation from Brainstorm
Productions called The Hurting Game. This presentation showed
your sons how ongoing negative relationships at school and online
can affect their self-esteem and their future. I thought the boys
bought into the process exceptionally well and it’s a topic that might
be worth bringing up at the dinner table.
All the students at Waterford are currently very busy in completing a
range of assignments that are due in over the next two weeks. Many
expressed relief that GPS sport was cancelled on the weekend as
it allowed them some extra time to work on assignments. I suspect
this weekend should see a concerted effort in completing drafts.
The way the cohort has embraced the tutoring sessions on offer in
the morning has been most impressive. On a number of mornings
we have had in excess of 40 students looking for assistance with
various subjects. At Friday Roll Call last week we had 52 students
working through the process. With the transition from assignments
to revision commencing over the next fortnight I’m sure these
numbers will continue to build as we approach exams.
Captains Corner, Patrick Carrigan
Competition is commonly referred to as
an event or contest, in which people
take part in order to establish superiority or
supremacy in a particular area. Our history
as a human race is plagued with countless
examples of great rivalries in all facets
of life. From Roger Federer and Rafael
Nadal’s’ tireless battles to the glorified
encounters between Australia and New
Zealand, a common factor that is evident in
all rivalries is the presence of history. So, it
is no surprise that the pinnacle of schoolboy
competition is that of Terrace v Nudgee.
Now, a quick history lesson. More than 124
years ago, Br Ambrose Treacy stood out in
the distant countryside, trying to find money
for a boarding school in the far reaches of
Brisbane. St Joseph’s College, Gregory
Terrace was to be split into two and St
Joseph’s College, Nudgee was to be born.
And so a historic battle took place in order
to determine the colours of a school. As the
story goes, one school lost that day and
received the mighty ‘red and black’ whilst
the other walked away with the ‘blue and
white’.
On that note, my congratulations to the First
VI which walked away from the Campbell
Centre victorious in our most recent
encounter. However, I was left astounded
at the sheer volume of the Nudgee crowd
despite their numbers being limited. Their
pride and passion was on display for all to
see.
I want that. We want that. Terrace needs
that.
So, this got Reuben, Hugh, Marcel and
I thinking. How can we possibly tap into
the same pride and passion that exists in
each and every single Terracian? But, why
reinvent the wheel? Success leaves clues.
Pride in our school is everything. It’s not
just a switch that you can turn on and off
when needs be. Receiving an education
at this great school does not just stop and
start at the commencement and conclusion
of each day. Similarly, the opportunity to be
a part of the ‘red and black’ is a privilege
founded on a legacy - one which we must
vow to uphold.
It is with this, that we officially unveil the
GT Spirit Generals consisting of Darcy
Moreland, William Beirne, Joe Pozzi,
Matt Kendall, George Greathead and
Jack Beashel.
These men will embody what it truly means
to be a part of this fine College. They will
harness the inner-Terracian present within
all of us. And these men will “bleed the red
and black.”
