EISTEDDFOD Like many things this year, there are a variety of events that I haven’t experi-enced before. One such event is the Eisteddfod. Building confi-

dence is really important for the growth of our young people so I really value the opportunity participation in events such as this provides. No mat-ter what the town, the vibrancy of the Eisteddfod shows so much about com-munity spirit. Congratulations to the students who performed in the many sections on offer, and thanks to the staff that prepared them and provided the support required. They achieved some great results. I would also like to congratulate our Instrumental Co-ordinator, Leslie Croker for her active involvement in the Eisteddfod Commit-tee, along with staff and parents who assisted in a variety of roles. HISTORY VISIT Over the last week, Rev Dr John Mo-ses (1944-46) and his wife Ingrid have been based at the school whilst work-ing on the centenary history. We thank them for their continued interest in the school and for their time and ex-pertise in preparing what will be a his-torically significant document. STAFF We welcome Mr Tony Moody who will be joining the grounds team in a part time capacity. Tony is a boiler maker by trade and has worked in mining and on properties. We also have cur-rent staff member Glenysis Stralow

taking on extra responsibilities as-sisting in the Home Economics ar-ea. Glenysis also assists with the Cattle Club, so will be well known to a range of students. INTER-SCHOOL ATHLETICS Last Thursday and Friday, the In-ter-School Athletics Carnival was held at BTC. Students have been training for this event since our own carnival and this was evident by the strength of our perfor-mances. 12 students received Age Champion or Runners Up across the range of age groups which was a fine effort. The team came in second and were extremely competitive across the event. Con-gratulations to all the competitors and thank you to all of our coach-es who gave up their time to as-sist the athletes. Congratulations also to Columba Catholic College on their win and thanks to the BTC community for hosting the event. GABES PAST STUDENTS Mrs Fleming and I travelled down to Brisbane to have lunch with the ladies from the St Gabriel’s Old Girls - Brisbane Branch last Thurs-day. We were made truly welcome and we thank the ladies for their hospitality. The lunch not only provides a social get together but gives me an opportunity to update them on all that is happening in the school. The ladies are extremely gener-ous, previously supporting pro-jects in the Chapel and Junior School this year. This time they

were touched by the “Days for Girls” project that is being organised by the Z Club girls. The ladies pre-sented Mrs Fleming with a cheque for $370 to go towards the project. QUEENSLAND CORE SKILLS TEST (QCS) The school community wishes the Year 12 students “all the best” as they sit the state-wide QCS tests on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st of August. The students have been preparing for these tests since the start of the year. Whilst they will no doubt be nervous, I know they are well prepared and will give it their best shot. Many thanks to Mr Die-trich and other staff and consultants who have been a part of the prepa-ration team. ACADEMIC The term has been a busy one with a variety of activities impacting the time in classrooms. Students must make sure that they have a study plan in place to prepare for assess-ment that will happen at the end of the term. This will involve a bit of work but it is essential. Students who are unsure how to best pre-pare a study planner should talk with their teachers or Heads of House who will be able to assist. During Headmaster’s Assemblies, we have been presenting a number of certificates for academic excel-lence. This week we presented awards from the Big Science Com-petition organised by the Australian Science Innovations. We received notification of 1 High Distinction, 7 Distinctions and 18 Credits. Con-gratulations to all of those students on their impressive achievements. CAMBODIA SERVICE LEARNING TRIP During the upcoming break, staff, parents and students will be head-ing to Cambodia on a service learn-ing trip. One of the aims is to assist a local community with a building project. This is service in action. Students will not only get to experi-ence village life but they are able to

PAGE 2 ISSUE NO 11/2016 26 AUGUST 2016

start to build an understanding of how some people in the world get by on a daily basis. The Cambodi-ans are a happy and proud people who collectively as a country have been through a lot in what was rel-atively recent times.

Darren Fleming Headmaster

Sam Kelly These next few weeks are a busy time academically with a focus on the QCS test and preparation for the 2017 timetable. Mr Ian Dietrich, supported by Mrs Barb Salisbury, have worked tire-lessly with the Year 12 students practicing their skills for the QCS test. Students are ready, and I wish them all the best wishes for their test on Tuesday and Wednesday at the PCYC. There are many 2017 preparation timetable procedures either current-ly happening or upcoming. The three main ones are: 1. Junior into Senior Transition

information session. This will be held in the Mattingly Centre (Senior Library) from 1.00 pm during the end of Term 3 travel day (Friday 16th September). This will be an opportunity to meet teachers who will have an important role in the Year 7 life in 2017. The power point used dur-ing this session will be uploaded to the School’s website for those who cannot make this time.

2. Year 8 into 9 information ses-sion. This will also be held in the Mattingly Centre (Senior Library) from 2.00 pm during the end of Term 3 travel day (Friday 16th September). This will be an op-portunity to discuss in detail choices that students will make regarding their options or special-ising classes in 2017. Again, the power point used during this ses-sion will be uploaded to the School’s website for those who cannot make this time. For the first time this year, we will also have basic information on the new Senior Tertiary System which this cohort will be the first to ex-perience.

3. Year 10 into 11. We traditional-ly have our information session for the Semester 2 Year 10 choic-es and consequently we do not have an information session for


Year 10 in 11. However, all cer-tificate course information and a Year 11 subject selection hand-book will be send to parents with the subject choice form to be re-turned by the end of Term 3.

Teachers have been busy also pre-paring for “bigger picture” projects for 2017. Each week the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) commit-tee meets on Thursday morning to discuss how to improve the pro-cess. I would like to thank all par-ents of Year 7 and 8 students who participated in our BYOD survey. I am pleased to announce that Mr Thomas Haines was drawn as our winner of the lucky draw prize of a $50 voucher. His daughter, Abbey, also receives a voucher of the same value. We received approximately 60% return rate which is one of the highest returns we have had for a survey for quite a while. Our exam block for Term 3 is quick-ly approaching. Seniors (Years 11 & 12) will have their exam block Wednesday 7th September to Mon-day the 12th September. There will be DTTC catch up days Tuesday and Wednesday of the last week. During the last week, the exam block for Junior Secondary (Yrs 7—10) starts on Monday and will con-tinue until Wednesday of the last week. This staggered approach is to enable staff to prepare Year 12 submissions. This is quite a stress-ful time for Seniors as they strive to exit with their highest result. If there are any changes or concerns, teachers will be in contact between now and exit in about 12 weeks. Last Thursday was special. I was contacted by the RSL asking if there were any students that would like to attend the 50th anniversary commemorations of the Battle of Long Tan. I asked (quite low key) at Headmaster’s Assembly if any students would like to support and attend this event. It was made clear that no Facebook photos would be made, no hoo ha or pub-licity, but a simple act of respect. I didn’t know how many students

would show in their formals after the first Thursday of athletics. However, I was very pleased that eight Year 11 students (4 boys and 4 girls) made the effort and we went to the ceremony. We were the only school there and the kids did ASSG proud. I know Mr Vogel, who spoke at the ceremony and was a survivor of the battle, made an impact on the kids and each went up and shook his hand in re-spect. That is what ASSG support is about. Simply done, respectful and with dignity.

Dean of School

Ian Dietrich By the time this edition goes to print, the 2016 Rio Olympic Games will have concluded. What an event! Many thousands of hours will have gone into the prepara-tions, planning and running of the games. Such a task cannot be done by one or even just a few. A large number of people, with spe-cific tasks matching their skill set and profession, will have been called upon to join a team willing to make the event a reality. This team element is necessary for the smooth running of the games. From the initial bidding to host the games, through to the planning and construction of facilities, plan-ning of events, running of the torch relay, opening ceremony, conducting judging and awarding many thousands of hours of sport-ing pursuits and competitions, as well as the closing ceremony and the pack-up and review of an Olympic Games – a mammoth ef-fort by many in a team. It can’t be done by one; it can’t be done by a few; it takes a team of people with a common purpose, a common drive, and a common belief. It takes energy, persistence, drive and passion to be able to go “faster, higher, stronger” (Latin – Citius, Altius, Fortius).

Deputy Head

This Olympic motto was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin upon the creation of the International Olym-pic Committee in 1894. Coubertin borrowed it from his friend Henri Didon, a Dominican Priest who was an athletics enthusiast. Coubertin said "These three words represent a programme of moral beauty. The aesthetics of sport are intangible." The motto was introduced in 1924 at the Olympic Games in Paris. We are ALL part of Team Souls. We are always striving to reach similar motto standards – faster, higher, stronger – when it comes to all as-pects of our great school. This in-cludes on the sporting field (as was evident with a team effort at the In-ter-School Athletics), at the podium for Inter-School Debating, on stage at the Eisteddfod, in Chapel, in the playground, in the dormitories, in classrooms, and service to the wid-er community. It is also evident in the many, many, many extra hours our devoted and hard-working staff do for the students in our care. Team Souls can also be described as a community of people who care and use their energy, persistence, drive and passion to be able to go “faster, higher, stronger”. Staff, par-ents and students can be proud of the efforts they have made this term. It has been such a hectic term, jam-packed with event after event. I do, however, hope that with a calendar filled full of events that our focus on classroom aca-demic learning has not been dimin-ished. With a common purpose, a com-mon drive, and a common belief (especially in these last few weeks of a term) we can all aim to set new ‘personal best’ milestones in all that we do. Enjoy the coming weeks (especially the well-earnt rest for most of our school community during the Sep-tember School Holidays).


Dean of Students

Shannon Lee Below is an a piece I wrote earlier in the year regarding cyber safety. I thought given the recent media attention of school aged children misusing social media, some par-ents may find the information help-ful. Cyber Safety – Do you know what you are talking about? If you are a parent, depending on how old your child is you have probably had one or more of the following conversations: “I’m 13 now, so I’m allowed to

have Instagram/Snapchat/Facebook”

“Can I have my own phone?” “I’m the only one who doesn’t

have ……” “This is my school laptop so you

can’t tell me what to do with it” “I don’t have to tell you my

passwords” How did you handle it? Were you confident? Or, is the internet a mysterious world you would rather leave to the next generation? Don’t worry, you are not alone. However, you do need to be in-formed and take responsibility for what your child is accessing on the internet, especially if you provide your child with a 3G or 4G device. As a school we provide many learning opportunities for students around digital citizenship and cyber safety this alone is not enough. Below are some tips from the In-ternet Safe Families website. Most parents will be confronted with one or more of the types of conversations mentioned above as their children grow. Remember: There is no hard and fast rule to

any of these. Every child and family is different. Trust your in-stincts.

Make your choices carefully and

try to stay informed. Once something is in, it’s not easy to get it out.

A child will most likely not miss out and will not be negatively affected if they don’t get their own way with technology.

You are the one who makes the decisions as to how technology is used.

You have a right to ask your child any question you want about technology, that makes you a good parent.

You have a right to know where your children are going online and who they are connecting with.

Rules surrounding technology aren’t optional, they are essen-tial and will repay you many times over.

Children usually don’t need the computer for homework as long as they would have you believe.

Technology can be a positive part of our families’ life, howev-er, it needs to be managed.

If mistakes are made or rules are broken do not overact, this can be normal. Have a conversation with your child and use it as a learning experience. Most families and children get through their cyber world relative-ly unscathed with no life changing issues. What we can do now is to reduce that likelihood even further by staying involved and communi-cating with our children. For more information please ac-cess the online learning modules we have purchased for you. Please see below for login details. There are age specific modules which will help you start a conversation about Cyber Safety at home. Web-site: http://learn.internetsafetraining.com/

School Chaplain Br Nathan-James SSF Reflections on the Role of Chaplains Over the course of the last couple of weeks I have had the privilege of attending two conferences; the An-glican Schools Australia conference and the RAAF Chaplains confer-ence. It has given me a great op-portunity to meet with chaplain col-leagues who minister in various contexts. This has been a valuable experience for which I am extreme-ly grateful. It has been particularly helpful to talk with other chaplains about the context in which they minister and the roles they under-take. The catch phrase used by the RAAF Chaplain Branch is serving through presence, participation and procla-mation. This encompasses the broad spectrum of the ways in which chaplains minister to those they serve. The heart of chaplaincy is first and foremost about pres-ence. While chaplains can some-what limitedly be described as the ‘God person’ in the environment they work chaplaincy extends far beyond just being the God person. Talking with school and Defence chaplains highlights that chaplains are fundamentally a contact for people who are experiencing all manner of challenges in their per-sonal, school and work lives. The chaplain then is seen as a confidant to seek support from, to download with, an ear to listen. While a chap-lain might deal with matters of faith by members of their faith they are more likely to encounter people of other or no identified faith who seek them out due to the role they have as ‘an other’ who is their to be present with them. Secondly, chaplains participate in the lives of others. That is, they seek to stand within, not apart from, the lives of the people they serve. In schools, on bases, on de-


ployments, chaplains get along side those entrusted to their care. They seek to be with others as the ordi-nary events of life unfold so that they can minister from shared knowledge and experience, giving some point of commonality. Thirdly, chaplains proclaim the knowledge and the love of God. Chaplains span a range of faiths from covering the three Abrahamic faiths; Judaism, Christianity and Is-lam. As well chaplains represent other faiths. It is this sense of chap-lains as proclaimers that requires great care in its execution. School and Defence chaplains are ordained or otherwise endorsed by their faith group to their ministry. They are first ministers and representatives of their specific denomination or faith group. They are then called to minister as chaplains in schools and in the Defence Forces. A dichotomy may arise between a chaplain’s core beliefs and the pastoral needs of the person who seeks them out. While a chaplain should and does share their core beliefs through pro-claiming their faith, a chaplain must also be able to suspend their beliefs as much as their conscience enables them to so that they can serve all who come to them. I was expressing this dichotomy with a chaplain at one of the confer-ences I attended, how do you man-age to be both faithful to your be-liefs and ordination vows, while ministering to people who may not share your beliefs or indeed hold contrary beliefs? Whole theses have been written on this. What, for ex-ample, is the role of a chaplain in a school, and to what extent does the chaplain take on the role of the ‘God person’? How does this differ when one is in a school which is es-tablished by, or embraces a tradition of a particular faith or denomina-tion? How are chaplains to respond to things contrary to or inconsistent with their faith? The answer lies, I feel, in the other two parts of the RAAF Chaplain Branch catch phrase, presence and participation. The

chaplain said there are times when one is faced with things incon-sistent with or contrary to their faith but the chaplain’s duty is to be there for the other as genuinely and as authentically possible as one’s conscience enables. Or, as one of the speakers said, always remember that at the other end of our interactions is human being, experiencing human feelings and thoughts and while we might not share or agree with someone they must be left heard and understood.

Debating

Denis Riddle Junior Coach & Debating Co-ordinator

Wins at debating The Inter-School Debating season has finished and we are proud to announce some excellent results. The Juniors (up to Year 10) have continued their winning form (nine premierships over the past 11 years) with a tied win. The Seniors came a close second in their com-petition.

The Seniors were coached by Mr Mitch Sokolowski and consisted of regulars Meg Burge, Julia Keough, Lance Shephard and Dylan McKen-na, assisted by Maxwell Allingham and Ellie Rohan.

The Juniors experimented with a di-versity of speakers: Connor Rose, Ben Zabel, Larissa Mafrici and Josh Duncombe. They were anchored by Rachel Hall who spoke in every de-bate.

The Year 7 students have a chance to enter the competition with a se-ries of three debates in Term 4. There is also the “Great Debate” on the Past Students Reunion weekend (Sunday 9 October at 11 am in Halse Hall) when the Senior team takes on the intellectual might of notable past students. Stay tuned for more debating news.

Our thanks go to the adjudicators who gave up Tuesday nights to judge debates: Wendy Fleming, Martina O’Reagain, Om Beacom-Halliday and Brother Nathan-James. Many thanks for your commitments and good judgement.


Duke of Edinburgh

Denis Riddle Award Co-ordinator

News from D of E The Gold and Silver expeditioners have just returned from a very suc-cessful cycling ride from Mt Garnet to Kennedy. Eight candidates ped-alled 170 kilometres over three days on dirt roads which varied from corrugated to deeply rutted. Each candidate was responsible for their own food and gear as well as care for their bike and equipment. The three Golds and five Silvers all completed the requirements of the expedition and enjoyed the chal-lenge, the serenity of the outdoors and the lively company. I will leave it to the dormitory reports to re-count the exciting details which the students have retold. Don’t believe anyone who says they did not en-joy the final section.

There are many people to thank for help along the way. On our first day, we stopped at the Oasis road-house for a fuel and food refresher. We were pleasantly surprised to find a waiting feast of pizza and cakes kindly supplied by Barbara Keough (mother of expeditioner Julia) and the Royes family. At Go-shen Station along the route, we were generously given morning tea by Theresa Blennerhassett, whose family has opened their door to us on many of these expeditions. Bev-an Donaldson (father of expedition-er Rhys) accompanied us along the route and supplied a support vehi-cle and much needed technical as-sistance, even rigging up a battery powered hot shower in the bush (what luxury!). Rebecca Lee ped-alled the whole distance, the first

teacher to do it, and provided mor-al support to those struggling up the hills. Thanks also to the Dorm staff who helped with early risers on training days, and members of the community who provided bikes and other support. Our expeditions would not happen without the sup-port of the whole School communi-ty.

Well done to the expeditioners who all completed a tough ride.

A reminder that reports and logs must be completed by the end of the term if successful candidates want to receive their Gold or Silver at the Award Ceremony on Satur-day 12 November at the Arthur Ti-tley Centre.

Humanities

Department Denis Riddle Head of Humanities In May, all our Year 10 HASS (Humanities and Social Science) students sat the Australian History Competition, which tested their historical knowledge and reason-ing. We have some excellent results, as follows: Merit: Jordan Bidewell Katie Jarmey Angela Jones Harrison Kempster Ben Wilkinson Credit: Breanne Peace Distinction: Rachel Hall Hannah Fraser Well done to all who competed and to the winners. Thanks go to Ms Webber, Mr Beacom-Halliday and Mr Sokolowski who prepared the students.

One Man’s Story of Survival: Guest Speaker Mr Vuthy Sarunn Om Beacom-Halliday English Teacher What would it take to make you flee your home country and make a new life on shores across a vast ocean? Mr Vuthy (pronounced Wooh-Tee) Sarunn, having grown up in Cambodia and survived the infamous reign of the com-munist Khmer Rouge, knows first-hand the high price of political unrest in the hands of those with little concern for human life. Now holding a Bachelor of Science, Master of Business Administration, Master of Economics, and currently completing his Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Vuthy travelled from his home in Townsville to speak to stu-dents on Wednesday 17th August about his childhood experiences in a war-torn land, and his subsequent years-long journey as a refugee to Australia. This was greatly beneficial to our Year 10 students studying Ideologies of the 18th-20th centuries in their first term of Modern History with Mr Sokolowski, as well as our Year 9 English students, who are currently undertaking a novel study of Allan Baillie’s ‘Little Brother’ with Ms Webber and Mr Halliday. It was entirely coincidental that Vuthy’s name, and several of his experiences, closely aligned with the protagonist of the novel; however, this only added to the gravity of his story. Beginning his presentation with the historical context of Cambodia’s situation in the 1970s, followed by revealing the losses he and his family suffered in the face of the cruelty of the Khmer Rouge, Vuthy had students entranced from the get-go. Skipping lightly from talk of tragedy to the more novel, yet sobering aspects of life as a young child in forced labour and refugee camps, a deep and profound series of silences – punctuated by gales of laugh-ter at the antics of a young child learning about gravity by falling out of a tree, being outsmarted by a smaller child (and a mother duck), and the resourcefulness needed when feeding oneself in a concentration camp – was all that would have been heard by anyone walking by the drama room. I have never seen someone present such a stark and honest, yet entirely humanised first-hand account of conflict at its epicentre; the innocent civilian by-standers of war are those who truly suffer in the milieu of violence that whips them into the fray. Vuthy’s message at the end of his talk was clear-cut: although nobody would ever voluntarily flee from their home, he has grown up in a world around him that made this urgently necessary for those 260,000 men women and children seeking safety in USA, France and Australia(1) who were torn from their families, their way of life, and their homes; no doubt a highly poignant message in today’s current international political climate. Nearly as impressive as the presentation itself was the exceptional behaviour and engagement demonstrated by our students. A special thanks to Sean Campbell (Year 9), Mitchell Underdown (Year 9) and Jordan Bidewell (Year 10) for their presentations of thank-you gifts to Vuthy following his talk, as well as all those students who bravely asked valuable questions at the end. Vuthy made special mention of how remarkably well behaved and attentive the students were. Having such a charismatic, articulate and unique speaker was a truly memorable event, and one which I am sure will add value to our students’ studies of the English language and the history of the world around us. 1) Robinson, Mason, L. and R.

Confraternity Rugby League Report

Dylan Knuth Captain The 2016 ASSG first XII team travelled to Rockhampton for the Confraternity Carnival. The beforehand prepara-tion began with a couple of sharp training sessions with Gully making sure we were in the right mind set. After spending the night in dorms, the boys packed the bus and headed for Rockhampton. Upon arriving in the after-noon we set off to spend the evening with the Netball girls, Staff, Past Students, friends and families. It was a typical Soul’s dinner where you feel a part of one big family, and was heaps of fun. The next day was all business with our first match up against the very strong Gilroy team. We were all keen for a great game of footy but the weather had other plans with it being very cold, windy and raining all day. This made for lots of mistakes by both teams but the game came down to a kick to tie the game, but unfortunately the final score was 12-10 Gilroy’s way. Later that day we were to face St Lawrence’s who were a new faced team in the confraternity carnival. The weather had laid off for the afternoon leaving us a mud pit to perform in. The lads did not waver, putting 28 points to nil on St Lawrence. This produced stand out performances from our front rowers with Zane Zable put-ting the larger opposition in their place, Brodie Campbell running superb lines for Max Allingham to put the big man away “under the posts”, and Hayden Lang for his kick returns and line breaks throughout the game. Day 2, it was hard to get out of bed with all the boys now feeling like they’ve played two games. But we geared up ready to take on Clairvaux Mackillop. We went into this game giving 100% and reaped the rewards coming away with a win 22- nil. Our next game was against Trinity College who had been playing some top quality football throughout the carni-val and continued to against the Souls boys. The game started out with both teams trading blows both feeling the effects of the last few days. With weary front rowers putting their hand up for another run. But it was Sam Meteyard who got across the line from dummy half. There was another stellar performance by front rowers Brodie Campbell and Jacob Logan, making room for our edge guys who were set back by injury losing Max Allingham to a head knock early in the match. The defence was led by second rowers Liam Durrington and Will Healing. How-ever in the end, the boys “die hard effort” wasn’t enough going down 10-18 to Trinity. The boys were disappoint-ed to say the least but kept their heads up and would come back twice as hard. We arrived back at the hotel and “enjoyed” a swim in the artic temperature pool to help recover from the past few days. The rest day. Earlier in the year Gully asked the boys what we want to do for the rest day; after a bit of debating we set off for the go-cart track. There were a few stand out drivers with Jacob Logan, Sam Bojack and Coach Adrian all clocking under 30 seconds. All fun and games aside, it was time to get our heads back on footy. Gully had asked us that night to find some-thing to play for and tell him what it was before our next few games. We had one game on Thursday, All Souls vs St Michaels. The older boys of the team had come up against this team the year before and were determined not to be defeated. The game kicked off with a very fast pace with both teams not giving an inch in defence. St Michaels consistently hammered the Souls left edge eventually finding space scoring a few early tries. The All Souls boys went into the second half with a fresh attitude and put on some good team tries to entertain the many supporters. Souls finally took the lead and held it, winning the game 22- 16. Stand out players included halves Logan Gulbransen and Max Allingham, Logan for his very strong running game and putting the passes on the chest, and Max for his strong defence and attacking vision. There was excellent support play by the winger Sam Bojack. Tearing holes in the defence was Talon Simpson and Duncan Elliot. Talon unfortunately was injured due to a bad head knock not being able to play for the next game; this was a huge set back. That night we all had dinner with our families and Past Students of the school presenting them all with small gifts of our appreciation towards their support. There were also player presentations. But the highlight of the night for the boys was when Adrian asked them to come up and receive the Past Student Association White Jerseys from past student First XIII legend Brett Johnson. To say we were honoured would be an understatement.


The next morning we were told we would come up against our old rivals BTC wearing the White Jerseys. We knew they would be no push over with the BTC boys playing well the whole week. But we all had it in our minds before we even got to the field how we would play the game. We would play it like all the young men who had worn the jersey before us. We were warmed up and about to run on through a joint BTC- ASSG tunnel; and it was then when Gully asked us what we would play for. We all decided we would play for our mates back home, the ones that would give anything to be where we were standing with the Souls jersey on our backs. We all de-cided we would play for Talon who could not join us on the field due to the severity of his injury. We would play for each other knowing this was our last game together as a team. We kicked the game off well with Souls finding their feet early and working to their edges making a few breaks down the side line this was rewarded with a try from Hayden Lang. As soon as possession was back in the boys hands the two teams traded blows set after set, sending the front rowers straight up the middle giving the edges space to work with. This however did not come easy, with BTC running hard and straight. But this was quickly shut down by the die-hard defence of the core men. It’s not hard to say that the All Souls boys did not give up at any point. This reflected in the final score of 22-12 to All Souls. I’d like to thank the parents and supporters who made the trip down to watch us play. I’d also like to thank Mr and Mrs Fleming for making the trip to support both the girls and the boys. But a big thank you has to go to Vivienne Pierce, Kate Hastie, and all the mums for washing our clothes and cooking every meal for us, we cannot express how grateful we are, thank you. In all it was a very enjoyable week that we will never forget, and I would like to set the challenge for next year’s 2017 First XIII team to go one step further in the Black and White Jersey. Thank you for reading


Horse Club

Gayleen Lawrence Year 11 Horse club had a busy start to the term as we jumped straight into training for the Charters Towers Show on the 31st July – 2nd August. The girls came down extra days to prepare for the show, Sally kept us busy practicing jump-ing, dressage, hacking and also flat work. On Saturday it was time to pack, braid, wash and load the horses. Finally, just as the sun went down all the horses were sparkling clean with extreme-ly tight braids and were taken to the show grounds ready for an early start in the morning. Sunday morning was a rush to get ready for dressage at 8 o’clock. Once the horses were all looking great and the girls were all looking professional, with not a strand of hair sticking out (thanks to a massive amount of hairspray) it was time to start the action of the day. Along with dressage the girls com-peted in reining, jumping and horse sports. After another early morning on Monday it was time for our horses to show off in the lead classes, the girls also competed in the Rider Classes including The Girls Rider and Best on Show. Tuesday was a huge day for the girls as they participated in all the hack classes, the Six Bar, the Grand Parade and the All Age Challenge. After three days of walking, trotting and cantering we packed up and transported the hors-es back to All Souls Campus. The rest of the day was spent un-braiding manes and unpacking horse gear. Over the three days all the girls competed remarkably well, receiving many ribbons and places whilst representing All Souls St Gabriels and the Horse Club well. A special mention to Junior School student Grace Kirkwood who rode each day on her pony Daniel. She did ex-tremely well and received numerous places at her first show. A big thank you goes out to our instructor Sally that has given up a lot of time to help us get ready for the show. We also appreciate Mr and Mrs Teece who helped us get ready for the events in the morning and Mr Kirkwood for helping us pack up and transport our horses back Tuesday evening. Congratulations to all the girls who competed in the show, who should all be proud of themselves as it was a very successful and enjoyable few days. After the show it was straight into action to start practicing for the Interschool Show Jumping on the 28th of Au-gust in Townsville. Horse Club members Sarah Suhr and Charlee Keleher will be competing in it this weekend on their horses Sonny and Dakoda, so we wish them luck. This term we have welcomed two new members to the club. Year 7 student Kaisie Corrigan is new to school this term and has come all the way from Normanton with her horse Brandy. Clancy Schafer is a Grade 11 boarder here at All Souls St Gabriels and has brought his horse Squirrel. They have both travelled from a station outside of Pentland. We hope they both enjoy their time with horse club.

Cattle Club Mickala Gough Year 11 As we start to see the end of a close finish to Term 3; Cattle Club has been better than ever. With all the pressure of shows and cattle breaking being accomplished, our students are finally getting to relax a whole lot more than usual. On Wednesday 17th August, Lionel Hartig and Glenysis Stralow took a bus load of our enthusiastic Cattle Club members to the sale in town; here our students had the chance to experience the sale and to say good bye to five of our beloved cattle. With the show season is over, it has given our students the chance to straighten out and make our Cattle Club grounds look even bet-ter than before. With Lionel as-signing jobs to our members such as: oiling gates, fixing fences, cleaning troughs and the odd jobs here and there, our senior stu-dents are able to step back and assist the Year 10 and 11 students getting them ready to hand over the reins in 2017. We look forward to the coming weeks as we continue to touch up our grounds but also the effort we have been putting in as a club to prepare our talented beasts for the ASSG 2016 fete. As a club, and as individuals, we have set goals for the year that we have all mostly achieved individually and as a club as well. We look forward to seeing you at the ASSG fete, but till then I will keep you posted on the ASSG cattle club news!


Junior School

Tina Akers Head of Junior School Canberra Trip Next week our Year 6 students will be on their way to Canberra, to participate in an educational tour of the national capital. The stu-dents are very excited and are counting down the days to depar-ture. With a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and de-mocracy, the itinerary is jam-packed with a variety of educa-tional programs. During the week they will be visiting the: Mt Ainslie Lookout National Capital Exhibition High Court of Australia National Film and Sound Ar-

chive National Gallery Museum of Australian Democ-

racy CSIRO Discover Centre National Museum of Australia Questacon Technology and

Learning Centre National Archives of Australia ANZAC Parade Australian War Memorial Parliament House of Australia

– House of Representatives Parliamentary Education Office Government House National Dinosaur Museum Australian Institute of Sport As well as enjoying a cruise on Lake Burley Griffin, testing their skill and endurance on Rock Climb-ing and Ice Skating. The Australian Government recog-nises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the trip, the Australian Government will contribute $120 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate pro-gram towards those costs. The funding has already been calculat-


Charters Towers Primary Inter-School Athletics Australia’s best athletes have just finished competing in the Olym-pic Games. To be an elite athlete takes more than talent. It in-cludes having a passion and commitment and always giving of your best. It requires the support of family and friends and a lot of hard work. I feel that all the ath-letes who competed at the recent Primary Inter-School Athletics Carnival clearly demonstrated these attributes and I would like to congratulate every competitor on their efforts and great sports-manship. The success of any carnival is a combination of factors – weather, people, students, attitude, organ-isation and a touch of good luck. It is about having a great day; experiencing the high of winning and the disappointment of losing and knowing how to manage those feelings; working as a team; doing your personal best (whatever that might be); ac-cepting the decision of the judg-es; and going home, exhausted and happy. Thank you to all the staff who prepared our JS Athletics team for the event. Our students were both a credit to our School and to their families. Thank you to all the parents and friends who went along to the carnival to cheer and celebrate the sporting skills of our athletes. Encouraging the students on the day does make a difference. All Souls St Gabriels Junior School athletes did their very best and once again brought home the Average Trophy and finished 4th overall. Congratula-tions to our Age Champions: An-na Milton and Corey Guldbran-sen. We are also very proud of Yasmin Musk, Charlotte Jesberg, Anna Milton and Samantha Santo who were selected to represent Charters Towers at the NQ Ath-

ed into reducing the overall cost of the trip and will be paid directly to the School upon completion of the excursion. Reef HQ Excursion Last week 47 students from Year 2, 3 & 5 travelled to Townsville to take part in an overnight experience at Reef HQ. This was the first over-night excursion for the students and for some, it was their first night away from home. From all reports, everyone had a fantastic time and our students represented our School very well. The trip provided the opportunity for the students to build closer bonds with their classmates, experi-ence authentic learning experiences and enjoy learning outside of the classroom. The students have re-turned to the classroom with a re-newed focus on their schoolwork.

Thank you Miss Browne, Mrs Flem-ing and Mr Roughley, for the plan-ning and preparation that went into making this experience fun and ed-ucational. Thank you also to Mr Marshall, Ms Walker, Jaron and Sul-livan (GAP Staff) for giving up their time to provide the additional su-pervision required during the trip. I am sure that everyone had a very memorable (although exhausting) experience.

letic Trials later this term. I was delighted to see how well all our students conducted themselves throughout the day. We are very proud that they wear the ASSG uniform.

NQ Football Academy Students from Pre-prep to Year 6 have enjoyed participating in the 4 coaching sessions with Craig Per-fect from NQ Football. The chil-dren have had a wonderful time after school developing their skills and playing football.


Tribute to ASSG Staff I would like to conclude by pay-ing tribute to the professionalism of the teachers and support staff at this School. Many students have shone at recent School events. I know that this will con-tinue for the academic, sporting and cultural activities students will participate in throughout the semester. Behind all of these ex-cellent student performances, achievements and successes, are the staff who provide the inspira-tion, know-how and support, and even more support. On behalf of the entire ASSG community I would like to thank my colleagues for all that they do on behalf of the children and young people in our care. I cer-tainly feel greatly privileged to be a part of the team at All Souls St Gabriels School.

Literacy Planet - Word Mania - Regional Winners ASSG Junior School students, have once again been placed in the top three on the NQ Skill Leaderboard and are Word Mania 2016 Re-gional Winners. Our children are some of the 260,000 students around the coun-try, who have spent more than sev-en million minutes over the past few weeks building over 55 million words. Our placings this week are:

Year 1 – Second in region Year 2 – Second in region Year 3 – First prize! Year 4 – Second in region

Congratulations to all the students who eagerly take part in the many challenges Literacy Planet provides. Earning a place on the NQ Leader-board is a great achievement and a result of the students’ efforts both at School and home. We know that if children are internally motivated, persevere with difficult tasks and focus their attention, they are more likely to succeed in whatever they do. Our partnership with you as parents is vital and reinforces these important learning qualities.

Dormitory News Page House

Davin Marshall Senior Resident

This has been a busy term and we are already at the halfway point. With all the sport and extra events that have been on this term some of the boys have fallen behind on some of their assessment and they are going to be under pressure to catch up. This will put them under pressure emotionally and this will be particularly apparent amongst the younger boys. We will see some bad decisions made at times but with a bit of patience and tolerance we will all get through. The Inter-School athletics was a great day and a great opportunity for our students to showcase their talents and conduct. The Page boys competed well and the behaviour of our students was very good. Well done to athletes and spectators for representing our school so well. Our senior group have continued to provide great leadership within the dormitory and are setting a fine ex-ample for our up and coming lead-ers amongst the Year 11s. It is well and truly time for the Year 11s to set some goals and aspire to be type of seniors we expect in Page dorm. The general behaviour in the dormitory is good and I am happy with the tolerance the boys display towards each other. We have Dwight Croft-Ellis in Page dormitory now. Dwight has come down from Feetham to us and we welcome Dwight into our dorm community. I hope his time here with us is enjoyable and happy. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns you have regarding your son.

Feetham House

Jake Diery Senior Resident

We are almost there, well over the half mark and the boys need to re-member to keep their heads in the game. We have had a few bumps in the road of late and the boys know that they need to improve and finish the term off strongly. We are also nearing the assessment period and I keep reminding the boys to stay on top of it, if they start to get behind they need to seek help. The dreaded flu has gone throw the school and I must say it is not fun. A lot of the boys have gone and seen Sister Kate and had some will earnt rest.

We had the Inter-School athletics last week and all the boys got in and had a go. I would like to con-gratulate the All Souls team on their efforts and the way they nev-er give up and also congratulate Max Allingham, Katie Jones, Tayla Davidson and Logan Guldbransen on being the Athletics Captains; they should be very proud of their team. The boys are also flat out with touch and have won most of their games. The gym has also been getting a lot of use of late. With a lot of the boys trying to get ready for footy next year. We also have tennis starting up as well with the 1st, 2nds and 15’s going to train with Mr Single on Monday nights. I wish them all the best and hopeful a few wins come their way. I would also like to wish all the kids doing the Deb Ball all the best and hope you all have a fun night.

Final guys keep the emails coming for leave and not long now and the boys will be home.

Ramsay House

Brenden Travers Senior Resident Term 3 is racing by, with plenty to do and plenty of success to be had. Ramsay Dormitory has seen a number of students involved in a number of different activities, keeping us all busy and happy. The end of week 5 had us all ven-turing over to BTC to compete in the interschool athletics. From Ramsay Dorm, our very own house captain, Logan Guldbransen, was rewarded for his impressive efforts at the Inter-House carnival by be-ing chosen as joint athletics cap-tain. He then led from the front on the day with an impressive throw in the open boy’s shotput enough to earn first place. Joining Logan on the podium from Ramsay Dorm were Zac Stevenson, who won the U13 boy’s shotput. Will Sibson who was a part of the very impressive U13 boy’s relay team which won by an astonishing 60m and were 3 seconds off the record and Rolland Geesu who picked up a 2nd in the U13 boy’s javelin. Unfortunately, we narrowly missed out on a victo-ry, being beaten by Columba but in all it was a fantastic day and some-thing we can all be proud of. This week has also seen the end of a number of our club footballing seasons. For the Miner’s, Brad Ste-venson, Zac Stevenson and Corey Stanger wrapped up their Rugby League seasons and Albert Luke, Matt Franettovich and Kane Whit-ing finished off their seasons for the Rugby Union. Throughout the year the boys have all shown fan-tastic commitment to see out an entire season and we congratulate them on a good job this year for their respective teams. Still com-peting from Ramsay dorm are Will Sibson, Brandon Finger, Camden Finger and Rolland Geesu who will be competing in the finals for the U13 Bulls after finishing third, Aid-


would be warm to sleep in a tent. Luckily for them it was a pop-up tent and required no tent pegs. They didn’t really want their pho-tos taken so early in the morning especially after not having their hair done and the fact that they say that they look dreadful in the mornings. This is another special moment, where, when putting the girls to bed at night, I find Tara in Am-ber’s bay reading her a good night story off her Ipad. It was so sweet and this photo shoot had to have a few retakes as the lighting was bad being pitch dark in her room, and not to mention that they both should have been sound asleep by this time.

Our last Monday night tradition has commenced again. This is the girls all at the laundry together taking down their sheets. Sue-Ann Fry and myself decided that this is the only way for them all to take their sheets down each week. So we devised a plan to get them all to strip their beds and we would walk down with them all. It works won-ders.

en Franettovich will be competing for the U16 Bulls after they fin-ished fourth and Logan Guldbran-sen will be competing for the U17 Bulls after the finished on top off the table. We wish all of the boys the very best of luck and hope they can bring home some silver-ware as reward for a long and tough season. That’s all from Ramsay Dorm for now, as always if you wish to con-tact me in regards to your son please feel free to do so via email or phone anytime.

Narelle Kelly Senior Resident

This edition will probably be short and sweet, while the girls have been busy with all their sports and athletics, some have been having a little fun in the dorm. Andie has just returned (well it was over a week ago) from a D of E trip, boy did she take a lot of gear. I helped her transport her gear which was only for a week away, but I guess that a “girls” got to be comfortable, even on a D of E trip. When she returned and I went about my morning duties of waking the girls, I found a tent erected in Isabel’s bay. Andie and Isabel came up with the great idea that it

Anyway, I hope that you have en-joyed a little take on the other things that occur within the dorm. Until the next edition, take care.

Becket House

Teneil Smale Senior Resident Things We Have Noticed Tahlia Flanagan – Can now see her floor. Paige Candy – Really is sweet. Kaisie Corrigan – When missing can be found at Horse Club. Olivia Wilkinson – Needed to be taught how to make two minute noodles. Piper Davey – Does not have a whisper voice. April Tabo – If she is laughing she is up to mischief. Biama Warusam – Just arrived and instantly found her way in board-ing. Karen Tweedie – Thinks bed time is negotiable. Angela Chevathun – Is quieter than a chapel mouse. Rae Evans – Always makes you smile. Katie Jarmey – Never stops talk-ing. Claudette Wilson – Loves to sing in the shower. Lissabelle Smith – Spends more time on the bus than in the dorm Natalie Teece – Falls with grace and gets right back on the horse. Angela Jones – Makes us wonder how someone can be so smart but so gullible. Meg Burge – We haven’t found it yet but she must have a flaw.


Kayla Gough – Spends a lot of time talking to her bro. Angelique Hughes – May need sur-gery to remove her phone from her ear. After being arrested by BTC, Becket and Alban girls think Tahlia is a good sport.

Chad House

Yvonne Schaefer Senior Resident

We are already half way through the term and are looking down the pointy end of assignments and as-sessment. We have been having a conversation with the girls about getting the ‘little’ things right. Things such as neatness and tidi-ness in their personal areas, in their dress and in their study areas, and to remember to be kind to each other. They have willingly stepped up their standards and it is hearten-ing to also see the respect and kindness that they have for each other. The girls should be very proud of themselves.

Inter-School athletics was recently held with Chad’s littlest boarder heading off to represent Charters Towers in the 800m. Well done Pip-er Godfrey! Martha Zero also ex-celled in her campaign, getting some excellent results in the Inter-School. Georgie Clark also over-came illness to make her mark on the Inter-School Athletics. She was unable to compete in the Inter-House but found success by provid-ing a thrilling finish to come 2nd in the 800m.

The school held a luncheon for the senior members of our community. The girls had a great morning get-ting the Dining Hall ready and serv-ing their meals. When I asked how they went with it all, their comment was ‘Gees, they can drink some tea!’ They all seemed to really enjoy the experience .

The Eisteddfod has kicked off this week with a large number of girls involved. Early results show that choir came a credible second place, Ngarita Chappell has picked up a second place and Rachel Hall has won first place. As it’s early days, this is by no means a comprehen-sive list of achievements but we wish them all the best for the rest of the big week ahead.

As always, we are here if you have any concerns.
