Remembrance Day

Thursday 11 November is Remembrance Day; celebrating more than a century since the signing of the armistice at the end of WW1, and I encourage all members of our College community to pause foramomentandgivethankstoGodforthosewhohavesacrificedtheir lives in the service of our country.

Secondary School students will observe a minute’s silence in honour of the fallen during their Worship at 1.50pm that day, and the observance will occur in the Primary School during a special assembly at 10.50am in the Primary School Hall. In addition, Year 11 students Kiralee Brown and Jack Johnston will attend the Remembrance Day Service at the Cotton Tree Cenotaph, with their teacher Mr Gregg Elliot, to lay a wreath on behalf of the College.

Lest we forget.

AustralianBusinessWeek(ABW)EnterpriseEducation

We are excited about our involvement in the upcoming Australian BusinessWeek(ABW)EnterpriseEducationfrom22-26November.

TheABWprogramincorporatesacomputer-simulatedbusinessenvironment, along with practical components of producing trade displays, promotional videos, company reports and oral presentations. In the safety of a virtual world, our Year 10 students will assume management roles in running a hotel chain and make decisions that affect business performance over eight quarters of company growth. The program will replace the student’s regular curriculum for one week.

Due to the experiential nature of the learning, it promotes valuable skills,includingteamwork,responsibility,decision-makingskillsandboostingconfidence.SecondarySchoolstudentsareonthecuspof adult life, but often a very long way from having the skills and confidencetheyneedtonegotiatelifeasanadult.ABWcanhavea tremendous impact on these students, allowing them to sample the business world in a mature role, creating a memorable and enjoyable learning experience.

At the successful completion of the week, including attendance every day, and involvement in the program, students will gain one credittowardstheirQueenslandCertificateofEducation.Wearegrateful for the support from prominent Sunshine Coast business leaders and supporters of the College, who will join us throughout the week as Business Mentors and Speakers and join us on Friday for the Awards Ceremony.

Tarnya Mitchell – College Counsellor

How much do you know about your children’s online life? Recent studies have shown that most parents think they know quite a lot. Studiesalsoshowthatparentssignificantlyunderestimatethelevelof violence and sexualised content children are exposed to.

Trying to keep up with the latest apps, games and other content is like herding cats – the online world changes rapidly. Studies vary intheirestimatesbutsomefigureswhichhavebeenpublishedsuggest that by the age of 18, young people view 200,000 violent images. A study completed in 2005 found that half of children aged 9to16haveviewedpornography.Wemightassumethefigureismuch higher in 2021. All of this can be daunting for parents, and it can be easy to throw our hands up in the air and decide that the horsehasbolted(touseanotheranimalmetaphor).

We cannot, however, afford to be ostrich like and bury our heads inthesand(that’sthree!).Studieshaveshownthatchildren’sbrains are highly susceptible to violent images. Children are likely to become more fearful, less empathic and more aggressive as a result of viewing violent content. It has been found that brain structure is altered with exposure to violence, with decreased activity in the frontal cortex and similar patterns of brain activity to that of children who have been diagnosed with behavioural disorders.

So, what to do? There is no magic wand here. As parents we must do the work. Stay updated and informed about current trends, especially how seemingly safe platforms can include references andexcerptsofviolentorsexualisedcontent(Netflixseries,SquidGame and its capacity to have crossed onto various platforms in a range of forms is a current example of this). Supervise children’s online time. Don’t ignore the elephant in the room and let curiosity killourkittens–getinvolvedandgettalkingwithyourkids(andthatisfourandfive!).

The Office of the esafety Commissioner has excellent parenting resources including conversation starters.

Primary SchoolI am certain you will agree, the academic year continues to race ahead with only one month of the 2021 school year togo.Weoftenfindourselvesatthistime of the year, where some children are becoming quite tired and ready for holidays. Behaviour and expectations can start to slip. I ask that parents continue to support us in reminding children that

high standards of behaviour, both in and out of the classroom, are still to be maintained during these last weeks of the term including wearing our College uniform with pride and boy’s hair worn at the appropriate length. Short term exemptions for uniform items can be obtained from the Primary School Administration.

WellbeingWe live in a society where alcohol forms the basis of many social interactions. It’s no wonder that a common question asked by many parents is, “when do I let my kids have a drink?”. We all know that for most and at some stage in their life, they will give alcohol a go… We want to be in a position of informing their choices and helping to reduce their risks.

While Year 11 students have started exploring alcohol and its associated risk during their Life Skills lessons, Year 12 students recently experienced a presentation from the Red Frogs. Their session was geared towards preparing them for a safe passage during their upcoming Schoolies celebrations. However, education around alcohol is not just limited to those who can, or will soon be able to, legally consume it. In fact, we know it’s an important conversation to have earlier in the family home, particularly around familyvaluesandsafety.WehopetheDrMichaelCarr-GreggandSchoolTV information below is helpful.
