It took me a while to get there, certainly longer than most of you I am sure, but I have recently discovered the joy of listening to podcasts. It is a remarkable thing to me that one can learn things one never knew while taking a walk or visiting the gym. My diet of choice is all things historical, and I was rather taken by a recent lecture on a civilization mentioned several times in the bible 鈥� the Hittites.

The Hittites came onto the scene in about the 18th century BC and they lived in Anatolia which comprises much of modern Turkey. They had water on three sides 鈥� the Black Sea to the north, the Aegean to the West and the Mediterranean to the South, and mountains to the east. Pharaoh Ramses II often referred to them as humty which translated from ancient Egyptian meant "women-soldiers", as it was the practice of male Hittite warriors to wear their hair long. We鈥檝e had our own battles with a few 鈥榟umties鈥� here at All Saints over the years!

Their language is one of the oldest to have survived and as you might have guessed, this is where I鈥檓 heading with my fascination for Hittite civilization, for it contains this little gem - 鈥楬uiswants es鈥� which was used as a multi-purpose greeting, as in 鈥楬i!鈥� Literally translated it means 鈥楤e Alive鈥� and as casual greetings go, I feel rather drawn to this one.

Hopefully in our efforts to teach well, to encourage our students to lead lives based on Truth, Faith and Compassion, to provide sport, music, drama, debating, camps and celebrations and to stand alongside them when they face those inevitable challenges, we have also somehow managed to convey the truth that life is the most wonderful gift of all; that the world is overflowing with unexpected blessings and delights and that we only need to be alive to these riches, to have an open and enthusiastic heart and amazing things will come our way.

The world is an extraordinary place and right now is a brilliant time to be alive. I know there is a lot of bad stuff going on and watching the nightly news can be quite traumatic, but one of my favourite quotes (which I am sure you will have read in one of my previous articles) comes from the American mythologist Joseph Campbell who writes:

鈥淲hen we talk about settling the world's problems, we're barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives.鈥�

However much we might crave certainty and security, the reality is that we live in a spontaneous and occasionally capricious world, a world of unexpected delights, chance encounters, serendipity, yet also a world of wars, tsunamis, hurricanes and economic downturns. The real beauty of existence is that we never have to face it alone. We are all in it together. So, when something wonderful happens we have people around us to share our joy; and when we are anxious or in despair, those same people stand beside us and help us through. And behind everything is the comforting shadow of the cross. Another quotation I have committed to memory comes courtesy of my favourite theologian Thomas Berry, who writes in the Prologue to his magnificent book 鈥楾he Dream of the Earth鈥�:

鈥淚n moments of confusion, such as the present, we are not left simply to our own rational contrivances. We are supported by the ultimate powers of the universe as these make themselves present to us through the spontaneities within our own being. We need only to become sensitised to these spontaneities. It is time for us to renew our human participation in the grand liturgy of the universe itself.鈥�

I love that. Being invited to participate in the 鈥榞rand liturgy of the universe itself鈥� definitely tingles my spine. So, as we head towards the chilly days and blue skies of this winter season, my message to all my readers this week (both of you!) is 鈥楬uiswants es!鈥� Be alive!

Thank you to all Junior School families who contributed to our Starlight Day last week. Your generous donations helped us raise more than $2,000 for our 2024 Giveathon Charities.

Our Junior School campus was filled with splashes of purple as we recognised the amazing work that the Captain Starlight鈥檚 do in hospitals all over Australia and the positive impact they have on the families of seriously ill children. Throughout the day we also heard about how the Starlight Foundation has touched the lives of many All Saints families.

This week we launched our second Giveathon fundraiser for the year in the form of our . This light hearted fundraiser has got a few people smiling and raising quizzical eyebrows but please know we are not meaning to belittle our serious traffic congestion challenges. In the next few weeks, some much more serious 鈥榓ction鈥� will begin as we undertake a major car park reconstruction project designed to increase our car parking capacity and get more cars off Highfield Drive at peak times. This is an exciting construction project that will have a great impact on our traffic problems. Further details will be shared soon.

SAVE THE DATE: STARLIGHT BREAKFAST
Next term we will also be hosting a breakfast event in Heaven鈥檚 Above for parents with special guests, Daniel and Carlie Steffe sharing their Starlight鈥� experience. Hosted by the Junior School leadership team and the Senior School SOS Committee, and emceed by All Saints mum, Eva Milic we are planning a special fundraising event where parents can share in a delicious breakfast prepared and served by Senior School students. Lock in Wednesday 31 July from 7.00am. Further details and tickets will be available early in Term 3.

Our Pre Prep, Prep and Year 1 students had a special visit from Ditto and the team at Bravehearts this week. Ditto鈥檚 Keep Safe Adventure Program is a fun and effective  program, curriculum-aligned with the and the . The Ditto Show is a live incursion for early learning centres and primary schools, featuring a trained education facilitator and Bravehearts mascot, Ditto.

The Bravehearts Mission is to provide a coordinated and holistic approach to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. Ditto鈥檚 Keep Safe Adventure Show teaches young children essential personal safety skills using age-appropriate language, song, and dance.

YEAR 3 SCIENTISTS AT WORK
Our Year 3 students have been exploring the different states of matter in their Science classes this week and asking lots of insightful questions. It was inspiring to see them working so collaboratively in their problem solving too.

NEARLY NEMO
We are only 7 sleeps away from opening night and our Finding Nemo cast and crew are working feverishly to add the finishing touches to what is sure to be another spectacular Junior School musical event. With the help of an amazing team of staff and parent volunteers hundreds of costumes and props are taking shape and I can鈥檛 wait!

A few tickets are still available for those families who have not yet secured seats and the whole experience will be made even more special with a variety of food trucks available to purchase dinner before the show and the so incredible Friends of Performing Arts operating the bar and providing nibblies for sale.

You won鈥檛 want to miss this Junior School special event.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS
Thank you to the many parent volunteers who have been helping in our Junior School classrooms. It is so heartwarming to see you working alongside our teachers and supporting our young learners. They love it. We love it. And we hope you love it!

Yes, your Middler is probably juggling several assessment commitments at the minute as we near the end of Semester 1. 

Please do keep a close eye on their time spent in front of the computer and monitor their bedtimes closely. Computers are great tools, but they are also a great temptation, and some students will create the illusion of being hard at work on an assignment or student, when they are actually wasting significant time on YouTube or gaming, and losing sleep as a result. This is a sure recipe for higher stress levels, poor performance and heated exchanges. 

Remember: just because your child looks like they are working does not mean they actually are!

Todd Harm
Head of Middle School

While your child鈥檚 Standard of Achievement in each subject is important, no doubt parents also appreciate information regarding how their child is applying themselves. In your child鈥檚 upcoming end-of-semester report, you will note that a few subjects 鈥� for example, Year 7 Languages, Music and Drama 鈥� have not designated a Standard of Achievement, instead, they have only awarded an Effort rating. This is due to the fact that these subjects either do not formally assess their students (e.g. Christian Living, Education Support), or they are yet to gather sufficient evidence to report to a Standard. Thus, in Year 7 Languages, students do not receive a Standard of Achievement in Semester 1, however, they do receive one at the end of the year.

As per the Glossary accompanying your child鈥檚 report, the School defines Effort as: Any non-academic behaviour which is conducive to learning.

In the Middle School this refers to an on-balance judgment on a five point scale (A - excellent, B 鈥� very good, C - satisfactory, D 鈥� needs attention, E - unsatisfactory) with regards three different effort criteria: diligence, organisation and engagement.

We hope these descriptors help students understand the important difference between 鈥�working smart鈥� and simply 鈥�working lots鈥�. By foregrounding the value of resilience, determination and seeking assistance, we seek to provide appropriate strategies for students who might be struggling to reach a desired standard of achievement and all our teachers are more than happy to sit down with their charges to elaborate on subject-specific approaches to help them improve into the future.

Last week the school celebrated all the sustainability initiatives implemented across all three sub schools.

A huge thank you to Ms Meredith Siegmann and her group, SASSAFRAS, for their ongoing efforts to raise funds and awareness regarding this vitally important issue. Their bake sale last Tuesday raised over $300 for the Giveathon coffers.

Todd Harm
Head of Middle School

In Term 1, all Middle School students and parents were invited to be part of a compulsory Round Table Conference, whereby students, parents and Core teachers made time to peruse class work and assessment, review the student鈥檚 overall approach to their schooling and then set goals for the remainder of the semester. 

Next term (Week 3: Tuesday 23 July & Wednesday 24 July), we invite parents and students to be involved in an optional Round Table Conference with the same objectives in mind. This applies to all Core and Specialist subjects this time around, though.

Some teachers will request to conference with all their students and will be preparing diary stickers (with relevant instructions) in anticipation of this, whereas others will be inviting parents to make interview times with them at their discretion. As stated previously: positive, open relationships between all three stakeholders are vital in any year of schooling, but are particularly important during these Middle Years. 

We look forward to continuing the dialogue!

This week, we had the pleasure of entering three teams into the 2024 Traditional Aboriginal Games Festival in Brisbane. 

Our teams competed in Buroinjin, and, as always, our students represented the school with immense pride, playing exceptionally well throughout the tournament.

We fielded a Year 7 all-girls team, a Year 7 all-boys team, and a Year 8 mixed-gender team. 

All three teams reached the Grand Final, with our Year 7 girls and Year 8 mixed teams securing first-place finishes. 

A huge congratulations and thank you to everyone who made this day possible.

Last Friday night, the Year 11 cohort enjoyed a fun evening at Topgolf. The students鈥� interactions with each other, staff and their enjoyment of the activities made it a brilliant occasion. They all looked fantastic and delicious food was complemented by golf, dancing and speeches. The night was embraced by the whole grade which made it a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Congratulations must go to all the Year 11s for both their behaviour and care for each other on the evening.

Many thanks also to Ms Stacey Ward, the Heads of House, Tutors and other staff that made the evening such a success.

Shutdown block begins on Monday 3 June and runs through to Friday7 June.

This is for both Year 11 and Year 12. I remind Year 11 and 12 students of the importance of designing a practical study plan and sticking to it. 

Students are only required at school when sitting assessment.

The Senior School Library and Pastoral Centre will be open throughout the week for students to use when they are not undergoing assessment. 

Students are only required at school when sitting assessment with the exception of Friday afternoon 7 June where all students are requested make their way to the HPE at 2:15pm for a special assembly to welcome our 2025 Principal, Mr Matthew Corbett.

This term, the students studying Year 10 Legal Studies visited the Southport Courthouse. 

The excursion was a great opportunity for students to observe what the profession of practicing law is actually like, and to see if it was a job worth pursuing in later life. 

My class鈥檚 excursion took place in week 5. We first observed Court 9, one of the many Magistrates Courts, which deals with low level crimes. We saw many cases, most of which were driving and drug-related offences. There was also a case where a translator was needed, and this case was painstakingly slow. However, after this we were rewarded with very an interesting case related to an incident outside the Star Casino. Our class were wondering what the sentence would be for the crime. After this case, some students observed the District Court, which is a court that deals with more serious crimes. Other students chose to observe the Arrest Court. 

Overall, the excursion was an enjoyable experience that has left me considering law as a career.

When HOTA put out a request to local schools to express interest in a new project with ceramicist Larissa Warren for an exhibition in the summer 2024/25, the Senior Art Department leapt at the opportunity. 

HOTA: 鈥淟arissa is seeking to engage schools across the Gold Coast region to collect clay which will be utilised in the production of ceramics works. Larissa鈥檚 practice and approach to ceramics offers a rich real-world context for understanding concepts in Science (geology), Geography, History and Sustainability. The opportunity to engage with Larissa makes for a strong stimulus and authentic experience for not only visual arts curriculum delivery, but also in Science and Geography, with specific links to your school site/ environment.鈥�

So, a few weeks ago, with gum boots on and bucket and spade in hand, Larissa came to All Saints to explore the grounds of our school and to see what clay, if any, it could provide for her work. Following some digging and collecting, Larissa left with a couple of buckets of hopeful specimens.

Larissa returned later with the results of her tests and analysis. She delivered a fascinating talk to the Year 12 Visual Art students providing insight into the concepts and processes of her practice and the discoveries of All Saints clay. She shared her findings about our school鈥檚 clay from a ceramics perspective, discussed the Gold Coast鈥檚 geography /geology and history, the science of clay, sustainability, artistic practice, and career development. The students were suitably impressed with her delivery and the explanation of her experiments which was scientific in its analysis and artistic in its presentation. 

We can鈥檛 wait to see Larissa鈥檚 exhibition on show which will feature ceramic artwork created from the grounds of our school.

As part of their learning and enrichment Year 10 Visual Art Photomedia and Foundation Studies students experienced at first hand a wide range of artworks during a day鈥檚 excursion to Brisbane. The Photomedia students enjoyed an enthralling guided tour at the Queensland State Library of the Photography Portrait Prize, which uncovered the fascinating stories behind the photographs. Meanwhile the Foundation Studies students marvelled at the work of Queensland senior students at GOMA at the Creative Generations Excellence Awards which includes the work of our former student, Bali Kohring. The 鈥楽eeds and Sovereignty鈥� exhibition was the next stop which showcased works from QAGOMA鈥檚 Indigenous Australian Art Collection whose work celebrates the interconnected relationships between plants, people and Country, an exhibition which complements the students鈥� theme of flora this term.

A walk across to the city and the students arrived at the final destination of the day: the Museum of Brisbane. Whilst Photomedia students were being guided around the rooms of the City Hall, the Foundation Studies group were gaining an understanding of the artists of the city and exploring the exhibition 鈥楻earranged: The Art of the Flower鈥�, an exquisite exhibition providing further inspiration for their practical work.

Guided tours up the Clock Tower in one of Brisbane鈥檚 oldest working cage lifts enabled the students to appreciate the 360 views of the city and a look behind Australia鈥檚 largest analogue clock faces.

All in all, a visual feast for the students that will surely inspire some exciting artworks.

Happening is quite possibly the most wonderful experience I have had in my life. In fact, I would dare to say it was exactly what I needed in my life and spiritual journey in general at this time. On Happening, I was able to slow down, tune out of the chaos and worries of the world, and reconnect with what really matters 鈥� love, hope and faith. Every second was filled with such wonder and joy, and I never wanted it to end. If you are looking for a weekend filled with love, meditation and tender care for yourself and others, or even if you have any questions at all about God or faith, let me tell you this: Happening is for you! Come and you will never regret it, even for a second.

If you were to walk into the Christian Living room on Thursdays during lunch this term you would find a wonderland of excited chatter, whirling wool, snipping scissors, talk of talks, and laughter! These are the vital components of preparation for our Happening! weekends, the second of year to take place at the end of week one next term.

The mysterious adventure which is Happening draws a variety of Senior School students with a varying degree of curiosity, longing and trepidation as they pluck up the courage to enter into this space to discover what happens on Happening!

Happening! is a Christian experience open to Senior School student who wish to explore the possibility of a faith. Christianity is not a prerequisite for entry into a world where social media and devices are abandoned as students are led by their peers into a variety of activities, talks and fun activities during which the magic of Happening is created.

An expression of interest invitation has been sent out to all Senior School students, after which an application form will be sent to those interested.

If more information is required, or you would like to see what students say about Happening! you can access the Happening page on FIDO or contact me or Mr Callaghan directly.

Blessings to you all,
