Principal’s Message 

Dear Students, Staff, Family and Friends 

Principal’s Message 

2 1 M A R C H 2 0 1 2 

I trust in the kindness of God forever 

“God of all peoples in Jesus Christ 

You call us from our foolishness to be you children 

coming amongst us like a kookaburra singing 

the song of a new day.” 

We are now in the midst of end of term assessments, TAS Finals and TAS Swimming, 

and some deep learning about Edmund Rice Charism to name but a few happenings! 

Our Shared Vision 

We are a Catholic school community, which means we aim to underpin our values in all 

that we do. 

We are a community in the tradition of Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers, 

who base our decisions on the touchstones of Education as Liberation, Gospel 

Spirituality, Inclusiveness, Justice and Solidarity. 

We are a community, who strives for excellence in all that we do. 

We are a community with a shared vision of searching for ways we can improve our 

outcomes and opportunities for students. 

We are a community, who cares and strives to be inclusive, providing ongoing pastoral 

care and a safe supportive environment for students. 

We are a community, who encourages all to achieve their goals overcoming barriers 

along the journey. 

We are a community, who strives to create leaders and take them to places, which are 

beyond their belief. 

We are a community, who is preparing students to be fully equipped as a 21 st century 

global citizens. 

We are a community, where we depend on each other in our roles and work together in 

partnership, to achieve with respect, dignity and sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. 

We are a community, who encourages full involvement and participation in school life and 

society, encouraging active citizenship. 

We are a community of learners, with a strong professional base as teachers. 

We are a community who cares about others, inclusive of those in challenging 

circumstances. 

We are a community who acknowledges our Indigenous heritage and Indigenous peoples’ 

unique relationship with the land. 

We are a community who strives to encourage social justice responsibility and action. 

Over the last week I have completed a three day Principal’s course conducted by BCE 

titled “Leading Learning”. One of the most powerful messages is the importance of 

building a Community, and within that, a community with a shared vision fostering and 

resourcing a Professional Learning Community. The Principal needs to be a strong leader 

who steers this boat with a sense of direction, steadiness, optimism, skill, resourcefulness 

especially in swirling currents, and confidence to reach the destination, even when sailing 

close to the wind. Gigantic waves may rock the boat, but the Principal and the Leadership 

team must do everything to keep up the morale and cement the team to ensure a 

successful outcome. We honoured Jessica Watson last week at the College in her 

sensational journey and these elements were crucial for her – she said she had a great 

team behind her! 

So the challenge is how do we do the above? 

Are we doing the above? 

Are we sitting with this shared vision? 

I think the number one is that we do have a strong community – this is the basic building 

block!

Another example to inspire us during the week was the shared wisdom of Dr Damien Price and his message of the 

Edmund Rice Charism. 

Br Damien’s Inspiration 

Br (Dr) Damien Price is a Christian Brother based in Melbourne. His work is focused around formation of people in 

the Edmund Rice Charism. What does Edmund Rice Charism mean? Edmund Rice lived in Ireland in 1800s, was a 

wealthy merchant who left it all to set up a school for poor boys and out of that set up a Religious Order of the 

Christian Brothers. St Columban’s College was a Christian Brother’s school in Albion in Brisbane, and then was 

relocated to Caboolture. So for us, this Charism is like a filter of the gospel message. Edmund Rice was “present” for 

those boys. He came as a guest in their lives and walked with them. Br Damien challenged us to think about the 

importance of presence and walking with people in our lives and in particular how we do that in a school community. 

On Monday, Br Damien worked with student leaders, staff and in the evening with parents from the P & F and 

College Board. We were all moved to tears with his touching and emotional stories which wrenched our hearts but 

assured us of the value of being there for others. 

We thank Br Damien for his enormous energy and deep spirituality, which he shared with us. Some of the students 

were so impressed that they told their parents that they had to attend the evening gathering, so they would not miss 

Br Damien. We look forward to an ongoing association with Edmund Rice Education Australia in our mandate as an 

Edmund Rice Associate School. We express our gratitude to all those who came to the Board/P & F Dinner in the 

evening and hope they thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did! 

Highlights 

Over the last week we have seen and congratulate the following: 

• Year 11 and 12 students completing some major items of assessment; 

• Chess players who competed in an all day competition – thanks to coach Mr Brendan Walsh; 

• Debating teams taking the floor – well done to Year 8s and coaches; 

• Instrumental and Vocal Concert with Ms Darlene Ferguson and Music Department; 

• Duhig House Mass inclusive of their beautiful Liturgical Dancers – well done to Coordinators Mr Reuben 

Pather and Ms Susan Mabb and special thanks to Fr Wrex; 

• Girls Retreat with over 100 girls (pyjama theme!) on Friday evening conducted by the Spirit Committee and 

Youth Ministry Leaders – thank you to Ms Suellen Conroy and her helpers. 

Enrolments due now! 

Enrolment packs are available from the College Office or you may prefer to download from the website www.stc.qld.edu.au 

We will be interviewing for next year and 2014 throughout the year. 

We will also be taking applications from current Year 4, 5 and 6 students in light of the 2015 intake of Year 7 and Year 8 

students. Early interviews will be held later and on an ongoing basis for these students with offerings made. SO PLEASE 

MAKE YOUR APPLICATIONS NOW. THIS INCLUDES CURRENT FAMILIES WHO HAVE A SIBLING AT THE 

COLLEGE. 

ALP and LNP Responses to Catholic Education Issues 

In this final week of the State election campaign it is timely to read the formal responses to questions posed by the 

Queensland Catholic Education Commission (QCEC) to both major political parties. The responses are available on 

the QCEC website: www.qcec.catholic.edu.au in both summary and complete forms and I encourage you to 

consider them carefully. 

Both parties have expressed their understanding and appreciation of the work of Catholic schools in Queensland 

and their desire to support that work. 

Mike Byrne, Executive Director of QCEC, on behalf of the QCEC and the Parents & Friends Federation, has 

expressed his appreciation of the advocacy for Catholic schools undertaken by school and community members in 

their local electorates in the lead up to the election.

Great Achievement 

We congratulate Year 12 student, Lauren Johannsen, who is currently in Canberra for three days as one of 

Queensland delegates to the National Schools Constitutional Convention, representing the Sunshine Coast region. 

We wish Lauren well during her stay in Canberra, and look forward to hearing more about the Convention upon her 

return. 

In closing we look forward to the final week of term and with that reflect on the lead up to Easter. 

“Lord, Let everything I do this day and in this season of Lent come from you, be inspired by you.” 

Take Care and Blessings.

Early Departure Procedures 

☺ Student must bring a note from home explaining early departure and time of collection. 

☺ Student must show this note to the teacher when he/she leaves the classroom. 

☺ If Parents/Caregivers are unable to collect students in person, please phone and notify the College of the 

early departure. 

☺ Student should then proceed to the College Office to await collection by parent/caregiver. 

☺ Parent/Caregiver should then sign student out on Early Departure Sheet and student should put his/her note in 

the PC drawer to explain his/her absences.. 

It is inappropriate for Office Staff to phone classrooms, thereby disrupting classes and teachers. The PA system 

will not be used during lesson times. 

Absentee Procedures 

Parents/Caregivers please note the following procedures for notification of student absenteeism and late 

arrival: 

All late arrivals must be phoned in prior to 9am on the day of the late arrival 

All student absences must be phoned in prior to 9am on the day of absence 

Our Absentee/Late hotline number is available 24 hours a day 

Absentee/Late Arrival Hotline 5433 7366 

Option 1 – Absence 

Option 2 – Late Arrival 

Please note: Any student who has not been phoned in for being late or absent will need to provide written 

notification upon return/arrival to the College. 

CARPARKS and DROP OFFS 

Please be aware that the Front Carpark is for Staff and Visitor Parking only. We request that students be 

dropped off or picked up at the back entrance of the College. We also ask parents/carers who do use the back area 

of the college for pickups and drop off to be very mindful of the need to drive with caution given the present 

conditions in this area. We also ask parent/carers not to park in the bus turning area at the back of the College as 

this presents serious risks to members of our College community. 

HERITAGE DAY 2012 

The College will be staging the 2012 Walkathon (Walk for Spirit) on Bribie Island as part of a Heritage 

Celebrations. We take this opportunity to ask our parent community who are in a position, to donate 

prizes which we can award to those students who raise significant amounts of money. Funds raised will 

be allocated to the College Mission activities. 

Thank you for your support.

English Department News 

The tour With Will and Jane to England and back is set to depart on 24 June. Seven students and seven staff will 

board the Emirates jet on the way to London via Dubai and thence to points literary, dramatic and historic. 

Look out for my emails on the topic and for details of the next meeting to discuss matters of insurance, passports 

and so on. 

English Tutoring has finished for the term with a good attendance for the last few weeks as students finish assignments 

for the term. 

Tutoring will resume on the second Wednesday back next term. 

Creative Writers and Readers’ Inc are also on hold until second week back next term. 

Book of the Week: The Help by Kathryn Stockett is the book of the award winning film of the same name. Compared 

to Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, it is the story of a white woman who meets secretly with the black 

maids in Jackson, Mississippi in 1962 to write their story of acceptance and rejection in equal measure and often 

from the same people. It is set against the background of a growing awareness of Civil Rights in the US and shows 

the hope possible in a country which continues to struggle with racial issues.

Chess Club 

On Tuesday 13 March, a team of fourteen students, our largest in recent years, travelled to Nundah State School to 

participate in the first round of the Queensland Interschools Teams Chess Championships. The students competed 

against fellow chess enthusiasts from eight other secondary schools from the northside of Brisbane. Brisbane 

Grammar School, Marist Brothers Ashgrove, St Jame’s College, St Joseph’s Nudgee College and Indooroopilly, 

Kedron, Murrumba and Everton State High Schools. In all there were eighty students, in twenty-two teams each 

comprising of four or fewer players. 

As a measure of the growing interest in Chess Club at St Columban’s we shared with St Joseph’s Nudgee College in 

having the highest number of players participating in the Secondary Schools Division at this event. 

The event was very well organised in the magnificent new multi-purpose centre at Nundah State School. Each 

participant played seven games of chess throughout the course of the day, all within an Open Division (Yr 8 to12). 

Overall our students equipped themselves quite well. A standout performer was Hayden Ollett from Yr 8, who 

managed to win four games and draw one game out of his seven. David Suen managed three wins and one draw, 

whilst Blayde Rath, Callum Lethby, Hayden Sands, Callum Lederhouse, Ethan Donovan and Ethan Dollard all 

enjoyed three wins. 

Our remaining players, comprising Grant Houston, Jayden Harding, Jaiden Tuckwood-Neilsen, Andrew Hall, Anita 

Good and Eilish Flagg all enjoyed some level of success through the day. 

Of the fourteen players representing St Columban’s in this Chess tournament, only four had participated in the same 

event in previous years. Thus this event was a great opportunity for many 

of our players to learn about how chess tournaments are conducted 

including the use of chess clocks, the role of an arbiter and the etiquette of 

shaking hands before and at the conclusion of each game. 

The engagement of students throughout the entire day was plain for all to 

see, as was the tremendous spirit in which the games were conducted. 

The second round of these Championships will be held on the 24 May, 

again at Nundah State School. It will be open to other players as well as 

those who attended the first round. Any St Columban’s College students 

keen to participate need to be regular attendees at the Thursday lunchtime 

chess club meetings.

After a great season all the teams head into the finals weekend determined to come away with a win. With the

TAS Swimming 

As the swimmers have completed their final week of training, the team has worked hard with sprint challenges, relay

Maher and Teena Power, we will embark on the challenge of again finishing in the top three at TAS swimming next 

Wednesday the 28 March.
