Week 6 Term 3 2019

The 2019 Shepherd’s Fair, in its twilight and fireworks format, was a huge success, generating great community energy and engagement. Smiling faces, some painted, were everywhere. Although the final funds raised will be settled in the coming weeks, it is already clear that the Fair has been very successful in raising significant funds which will provide additional facilities and resources for our students. Thank you to all involved in preparations for and support of this year’s Fair. Last Saturday night’s Year 11 Formal is a much anticipated rite of passage for our students. At Good Shepherd the formal is a celebration that students share with their parents and staff. Thank you to staff, parents and students for their preparation and planning for what was a memorable night for the students, their families and the College. With the formal now part of their Good Shepherd memories, our Year 11s, supported by family and staff, will continue on their journey to increased responsibility for themselves, for their learning and their future. This week’s Book Week celebration saw a wide variety of activities across our College. A highlight was the opportunity for students from Prep to Year 12 and staff to dress up as one of their favourite characters from a book. A range of competitions were run to engage the creativity of our students. While Book Week is a once a year event, in many respects every week is Book Week at Good Shepherd. Student engagement with reading with a purpose and for pleasure is evident through the busyness of our Library. On Sunday 25 August six Good Shepherd teams will compete in the Regional Finals of Tournament of the Minds (TOM) at the University of the Sunshine Coast. These teams follow in a tradition of TOM success at state and national level. The students and their staff and senior student facilitators have been working hard and we know that they will represent themselves and the College very well. I trust you have enjoyed being part of the many events and activities already held this term and thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm for and support of our College.

Huge Thank You

Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped create another fabulous Shepherd’s Fair. Without the extensive group of volunteers the 45+ stalls, 60 trestle tables, 22 marquees, 23 sponsors, 100+ silent auction and raffle donors would not have been polished, organised and ready for the influx of crowds at 12 noon on Saturday the 10th August. The afternoon was a flurry of excitement, beaming smiles, one or two inevitable sugar highs (and lows), prizes, produce and goodies purchased by the crowds of GSLC families and from the greater Noosa community. The sharing continued with another colourful fireworks display with traffic coming to a stand-still and neighbouring residents taking the opportunity to gather on the oval with friends and neighbours. Thank you for helping us to celebrate and showcase Good Shepherd once again.

School of Rock the Musical

A mere week after the QSO concert, all students studying elective classroom Music were back at QPAC to see the new musical, School of Rock. This musical is based on the Jack Black movie of the same name, with new music written by esteemed musical theatre composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber. The show was great fun, with amazing performances by school-aged students as well as professionals. These performances provide an enriching experience for students studying music – the conversations on the ride home are always full of enthusiasm and inspiration!

Storm Boy

Year 11 and 12 Drama students enjoyed the production of Storm Boy at QPAC. The landmark new production of Colin Thiele’s cherished yet bittersweet coming-of-age story brought masterful puppetry and boundless imagination to this beloved Australian novel.

QSO Concert

The first half of Term 3 has been an exciting one for students of classroom Music. The Year 11 class were some of the first people in Australia to hear a new piece by Israeli composer, Avner Dorman. Frozen in Time was an exciting concerto for percussion, performed by superstar Martin Grubinger, who masterfully showcased an array of instruments including glockenspiel, vibraphone, marimba and many more. The piece presented four imaginary snapshots of earth as a prehistoric conti-nent, each contrasting movement featuring a phase in the earth's geological development. The performance was supplemented by a wonderful lunch and debrief afterwards!

Eisteddfod

At the recent Gympie and Sunshine Coast Eisteddfods GSLC Music students performed outstandingly with over 160 entries. More than half of these entries received places across all categories.

Wellbeing Reflection Activities:

Parent Wellbeing:

Achieving something requires combining the following internal and external components: self-belief, intrinsic motivation, positive engagement, hope, character strengths and process praise. For each of these describe how effective you are. The single biggest influence on people having a healthy state of wellbeing is to experience positive emotions through having a strong feeling of social connectedness; they feel they belong. Having strengths for relationships weeks every term, provides students, parents and teachers with opportunities to share and care with each other. Building wellbeing through frequent little positive actions is the key to the school community looking to the future with hope. These actions include welcoming gestures, smiles, hellos, pats on the back, friendly texts, saying thank you and sorry, asking how they are feeling, giving compliments, doing five minute mindfulness activities, using positive self-talk, doing selfless acts of kindness, sharing their strengths to help someone overcome a challenge, choosing two positive personal descriptors to live by each week, spotting different ways of thinking in themselves and others, monitoring their and others’ emotions, using assertive language when they need to, recognising when they need to seek help and doing the wellbeing fitness challenges and strengths boosters. It’s about broadening their and our attention to the present moment. We can achieve this by instilling in the school community’s members a belief that they and others matter and showing it in our every thought word and action. ‘Patience and vision are the answer to any decision.’ Verka Paunovska

From the Head of Junior Years Year Two and Year Three Classrooms

By now I’m sure many of you have heard the sad events of the weekend when the school experienced the vandalism of our Year 2 and Year 3 classrooms. As a school in Noosa, we have been fairly immune to this kind of attack and as such it came as rather a shock for a number of our community.

In whatever situation, there is always a positive. It has made me reflect on what an amazing community we have here at GSLC. From the fantastic GSLC staff on Sunday night who cleaned, swept and vacuumed for hours to get the Year 2 classrooms ready for Monday morning, to the Maintenance crew, cleaning staff, Year 3 teaching team and Junior Teaching Assistants, who on Monday transformed the Year 3 classrooms from an apoplectic scene to a return to normality. Also during this week, I have been inundated by parents and community members offering to help, often with calls of “you should have called us on Sunday night to help”. Fantastic!

However, for me the prize must go to a group of Year 3s who as we chatted during break time on Tuesday said, “you know Mr Lambert, the people who did this have problems and they need help, but for us it was only ‘stuff’ that was broken”- very wise words for children so young and something they will take forward as they move through life’s journey, probably giving them strength in other situations as well.

The good news is, all is back to normal (by Tuesday morning!), and life at GSLC continues at a hectic pace with Book Week, camps, author visits and pyjama days. As I said at assembly on Monday, we are a very special school with a very special community and nothing, and nobody, will get the better of us and spoil our fun and education at GSLC!!!!

Helping your child develop emotionally

Children’s abilities for recognising, understanding and managing their emotions are influenced by the ways the adults who care for them acknowledge and

respond to their feelings. When children learn to manage their emotions, they are also better able to manage their behaviour.

Below are some helpful ways of supporting children’s emotional development:

Listen and validate the child’s emotional experience. Listen to what children say and acknowledge their feelings. This helps children to identify emotions and understand how they work.

View emotions as an opportunity for connecting and teaching children’s emotional reactions, provide ‘teachable’ moments for helping them understand emotions and learn effective ways to manage them. You might say, “I can see you’re really frustrated about having to wait for what you want. Why don’t we read a story while we’re waiting?”

Encourage problem-solving to manage emotions. Help children develop their skills for managing emotions by helping them to think of different ways they could respond. You might say, “What would help you feel brave?” or, “How else could you look at this?”

Set limits in a supportive way. Set limits on inappropriate behaviour so that children understand that having feelings is okay, but acting inappropriately is not. You might say, “I know you’re upset that your friend couldn’t make it over, but that does not make it okay to yell at me.” For more information and tips about childhood development please visit, www.kidsmatter.edu.au

Buderim Private Hospital Experience

By Grete Gawthorn Yr 11

On the 15th of August, Finn McIntyre, Carla Bourne, Zoe Clare and Grete Gawthorn travelled with Mrs Purcell to Buderim Private Hospital for the Buderim Hospital Experience. Over the three hours we spent there, we learnt a lot about clinical jobs and non-clinical jobs in a hospital environment. Firstly we visited the Cooinda Procedural Area, where we were shown how a stent is put into an artery after a heart attack.

Pic (R-L) Nurse Greig, Finnegan McIntyre, Carla Bourne, Zoe Clare and Grete Gawthorn

We also learnt how a baby is born and the role of a midwife during the birthing process. One of the most surprising things for us was how much responsibility a nurse has in an operating theatre and in the varying roles within the medical specialist areas. After the procedural area scenario, we went back to the Education Centre for some hands on activities. We heard about one of the most common procedures in Australia, an intravenous cannulation and saw the technique used to insert one in a simulated patient. Then we learnt about the role of an oncology nurse in patient care after a surgery. Lastly, we practiced measuring our vital signs; heart rate, temperature and blood pressure, under the guidance of placement nurses.

To finish the afternoon, we were able to ask a panel of allied health professionals about their careers. We heard from a physiotherapist, occupation therapist, business manager and psychologist about their diverse roles across the hospital setting. We were given an insight into university training, job prospects, career opportunities, their job roles and many other insights.

All in all, this was a very informative and worthwhile experience for anyone interested in the health care industry. It shed a new light on careers in a hospital environment for all of us. Thank you to Mrs Purcell for taking the time to take us to Buderim Private Hospital. For future students, we definitely recommend applying to the Buderim Hospital Experience Day.

Study skills tip for August

The importance of quality sleep for students

Sleep is crucial not just for physical and mental well-being, but for the consolidation of learning, and to ensure you perform in all your endeavours in peak condition. The absolute last resort should be to sacrifice sleep time in order to get things done. How much sleep is right for you? This is tricky as everyone is different. Some lucky people need only 6 hours a night, most people need about 8 hours and some people need 10 hours!

Two ways to tell if you are getting enough sleep:

How quickly do you fall asleep at night? If you fall asleep instantly that can be a sign you are not getting enough sleep, it should take 10-15 minutes to fall asleep.

How do you feel when you wake up in the morning? If you feel tired and sluggish then that can also be a sign that you need to get to bed earlier.

Improving the Quality of your Sleep:

Avoid caffeine (cola drinks, coffee, energy drinks, chocolate) after dinner or even better, no later than 4pm.

Organise as much as you can at night to minimise what you have to do in the morning (e.g. organise your clothes for the next day, pack your bag).

Try and have a half hour to an hour before you go to bed without computers, TV, phone or any electronic devices or homework or chatting to friends. If you can’t do that, at least put the de-vices on night mode or turn the brightness down.

Set up a relaxing ‘wind-down’ routine for before you go to bed. Do this same routine every night (e.g. warm shower, reading, listening to quiet music) so your brain associates these activities with bed time and sleep.

A drop in body temperature near bedtime triggers the sense that is time to go to sleep. So after a warm bath or hot shower, cool yourself down. It is also better at night to be cool rather than overheated.

Keep your room as dark and as quiet as possible at night.

When you lie in bed, start at your feet and mentally imagine relaxing each muscle as you slowly work your way up the body. Most people do not make it up to their head before they fall asleep!

In the morning open the curtains wide or go out into the sun and get lots of light to help wake your brain. Being exposed to lots of natural light during the day will also help the body produce the melatonin at the right time for a good sleep cycle.

A healthy breakfast will help to kick-start your body clock for the day.
