COMPASS NO 292 | FEBRUARY 2013
Being People of the Big Circle
For all of us there are circles of connection. For some, those circles may be small and
tight. For others they are large and do not have the same hard edge that shuts others
out. Having large open circles fills our space with vibrance and diversity. It is a relaxed,
creative space where people can grow. There is safety and fun. The focus is on the
needs of others rather than ourselves.
As we start a new year, it is important to learn to expand our circles. We need to be
conscious of those who may be on the fringe. Simple things of including people in
conversations or activities can be life changing. The good news for us is that God freely
includes all of us in His circle of love. Because we are given so much, we are free to
reach out to others.

Principal’s Log
Mr Kerry Neill gave a vibrant and unique welcome to country
at the first Year 6-12 assembly. As a representative of the
Gubbi Gubbi people, Kerry reminded us to be respectful of the
contribution and place of all people and to enjoy living in such
a great country. We look forward to extending our
connections with our local indigenous community.
The value of parents being strongly connected to children’s
places of learning has been highlighted regularly through
research. Parents who are well informed and connected are
equipped to provide age appropriate support and
encouragement to their children. This makes a significant
difference to children’s learning. Ways to be informed include
reading all communication thoroughly and taking advantage of
parent information evenings. In this way, parents are fully
aware of all of the opportunities.
There are a number of information evenings at the start of the
year. It has been very good to see parents and senior
students already use these opportunities to learn about the
rich learning partnership that Pacific provides. Thank you to
Miss Stone, Ms Arahill and Mrs Reid for their leadership of the
Year 11 evening and Mr Druery, Mrs Zweck and the Prep -
Year 5 staff for their leadership of the P-5 night. I would
encourage all Year 10, 12, and Middle College parents and
senior students to be aware of the timing for their evenings
and take the opportunity to attend. Mrs Zweck’s article in the
Head of Teaching and Learning K-5 section of the newsletter
provides good suggestions for parents of all ages.
Some families and students may be aware that Mr Hopkins
has resigned due to ill health earlier this week. We are
currently interviewing potential candidates to fill this position.
Mr Hopkins made a very valuable contribution to the college
in the establishment of the Industrial Technology area.

Starting off in a shed, Mr Hopkins gave strong, patient
leadership to the establishment of the department which now
provides unique and distinctive opportunities for students.
Students have greatly valued the care Mr Hopkins provided to
them over many years. We wish Mr Hopkins all the best.
Applications for Middle and Senior College scholarships are
now open and families are encouraged to visit the website for

May God provide us with the capacity and heart to broaden
our circles to be inclusive and supportive of others. We
continue to pray for those affected by the recent flooding and
storm damage. We will share with the community next week
ways in which we can support people in need.

How Connected are You?
“If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If
you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step
forward, you’re always in the same place.” Nora Roberts
I extend a warm welcome back to all students and their
families. As the term starts, it is important that students have
established routines and good practices for themselves for the
academic year. In particular, it is imperative to maintain a
good balance between work, social life, exercise and nutrition.
This week, my article will focus on connectedness.
Community Connectedness: Getting Involved!
An important component in the development of students is
inspiring in them, the adopting of a sense of civic
responsibility to the communities they live in. Volunteering
their time in assisting others and engaging in service learning
activities is a pursuit that will benefit their personal growth and
lifelong experiences immensely. There are college events
throughout the year with which both parents and students can
connect and be involved. Please keep an eye and ear out for
notices both in the newsletter and at assemblies, as such
opportunities will be communicated throughout the year.
Where are They Now?
We are interested in hearing from
and connecting with Old
Collegians (past graduands) of
Pacific Lutheran College. More
information about this will be
advertised in coming newsletters.
Where are they now??? We will
start writing about this soon . . .
Senior College Parent Information Evenings
I would like to thank Year 11 parents and students who
attended the parent information evening on Tuesday, 5th
February. It is pleasing to have parents continued support
and connectedness during their student’s journey through
senior school. In the hour presentation, there was key
information presented for parents and students alike. By
request, a copy of the presentation was emailed or hard copy
sent to Year 11 parents. If you were not able to attend this

evening, I encourage you to discuss the information with your
student. If there is anything you need clarified, please contact
the college.
Parents and students in Year 12 are asked to attend the
parent information evening on Tuesday, 19th February starting
at 7.00pm. This will be an informative night as students begin
their final year of schooling.
Parents and students in Year 10 are asked to attend the
parent information evening on Tuesday, 26th February starting
at 7.00pm. This will be an informative night as students begin
their transition into senior schooling.
Year 12 Leadership
Prior to the commencement of school, the Senior College
leaders participated in the Lutheran Youth of Queensland’s
Enthuse 2013 program at Luther Heights. The purpose of
Enthuse 2013, was to equip, empower and inspire young
leaders to servant leadership. The 2013 College and Vice
College Captains have reflected upon their experiences from
this camp (please refer below).
Year 12 Leadership Day: Year level
Connectedness
This week, Year 12 students participated in a leadership day.
This day continued to build on established leadership
principles and learnt concepts from last year’s leadership
discussions. Students actively participated in activities which
were strategically organised to give them an opportunity to
use a range of skills; but particularly, team work skills,
leadership skills and reflective skills.
I would like to extend thanks to the Lutheran Youth of
Queensland team: Juliette, Emma, Josh and Josh (JT) for
running this day. Particularly, I would like to wish Emma
Graetz, Leadership Trainer, Lutheran Youth of Queensland all
of the best as she moves to South Australia to embark on a
new pathway in working with others to pass on her experience
and wealth of knowledge in leadership. I look forward to
working with the Year 12 students throughout the year to
continue sharing their skills.

Enthuse Leadership Camp
On the last week of holidays, the College Captains of 2013
were fortunate enough to participate at the leadership camp
Enthuse 2013 at Luther Heights in Coolum. Leaders from
other Lutheran schools located all over Queensland partook in
the five-day long camp.
When we arrived at camp, it was obvious that this was no
ordinary school camp. Our “classes” took place on pillows
and mattresses and we participated in leadership activities to
assist our learning. Soon after we arrived, we were put into
smaller groups of around 10 people from other schools. We
learnt that in order to lead others, we must first lead
ourselves, and in order to lead ourselves we must trust in our
own ability with the assistance of others. Hence, this lesson
was followed by a series of trust activities with our smaller
groups.
These activities were difficult and a little daunting to most of
us as we were unfamiliar with the other members of our
group; however, the more of these activities we participated
in, the more we began to trust our groups and built a solid
foundation for friendships to be formed.
On the second day of camp we learnt about how we think and
how to best lead others. We were taught tips on how to be
successful in all areas of life, including leadership, school
work and serving others, as well as tips on how to combat bad
habits and fear.
Later in the day, we did high rope activities with our smaller
groups. Whilst some people went to the flying fox and the
leap of faith, others, such as us, went to the high ropes. This
was thrilling for some, but tested our ability to overcome our
fears, even if we had done it before. This was an incredible
challenge to overcome but, with the help and encouragement
of our new friends, it was a lot easier to conquer.
On day three, our facilitators had us building rafts from
bamboo, ropes and empty water containers as part of an
activity. This was quite a challenge, as we had to venture
about 10 metres through the water with all of us on board in
less than 40 minutes. This task required us to use leadership
and teamwork skills as we all had to work together.
Our final night was spent planning an elegant dinner and a
farewell party. Each person pitched in on setting up the
dining hall and the party room, which looked fantastic. The
night was full of laughs and fun, with a tinge of sadness due to
the fact we had to depart the next day.
The final day began with a lesson on how to lead others. We
collated all of our experiences throughout the camp and
reflected on what we had learnt. Our lunch was spent
laughing and saying goodbye as we prepared to leave the
camp. This was incredibly sad since all of us had made new
friends, which I am sure we will cherish forever.
Overall, the experience was amazing, with terrific food,
incredible people and a supportive atmosphere. Any of the
future leaders will be blessed to be a part of Enthuse and we
hope to share our experiences with the Pacific community.

and James Milligan - 2013 College and Vice College
Captains.

From the Head of Teaching
and Learning K-5
Thank you for the important job that you play in promoting
excellence as a habit for life with your child.
When parents are involved in their children's education, both
children and parents benefit. Researchers report that parent
participation in their children's schooling frequently:
enhances children's self-esteem,
improves children's academic achievement,
improves parent-child relationships,
helps parents develop positive attitudes towards school,
a better understanding of the schooling process.
Most important of all, ALL parents and families can enjoy
these benefits. It does not matter how much money you
have. It does not matter how much formal education you have
had yourself or how well you did in school. Family
involvement benefits children in all year levels.
What is "Family Involvement in Education"?
It is a lot of different types of activities. Some parents
and families may have the time to get involved in many
ways. Others may only have the time for one or two
activities. But whatever your level of involvement,
remember: if you get involved and stay involved, you
can make a world of difference.
![Page 5: COMPASS - Pacific Lutheran College...Nora Roberts I extend a warm welcome back to all students and their families. As the term starts, it is important that students have established](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040512/5e5fd7d63edbae5a2a762e41/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
COMPASS
NO 292 | FEBRUARY 2013
Family involvement in education can mean: reading a
bedtime story to your preschool child, hearing reading
with an older child, checking homework every night,
getting involved in Friends of Pacific, coming to
assembly and chapel, discussing your children's
progress with teachers, limiting TV viewing on school
nights, insisting on high standards of behavior for
children.
Family involvement can be as simple as asking your
children, "How was school today?" But ask every day.
That will send your children the clear message that their
schoolwork is important to you and you expect them to
learn and do their best.
Many children and parents are yearning for this kind of
togetherness these days. Among students aged 8 to 13,
for example, 82% say they would like to talk to their
parents more about their homework!
Pacific has clear, challenging standards for what students
should know and do, how they should work together, how
they should grow as spiritual people and how they should
learn. Working together we can encourage them never to
settle for doing less than their best!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Before and After School Supervision
Parents are reminded that playground supervision
commences at 8.00am each morning. Children who are
dropped at school before 8.00am need to be placed in outside
school hour’s care. If students in Years P-5 are on the school
grounds prior to 8.00am, they will be placed in before school
hours care, unless parents have previously contacted the
college to discuss alternative arrangements.
Parents are also asked to ensure that children are not
unsupervised, on verandahs or on play equipment after
3.30pm each afternoon. From 3.30pm, these areas are
registered for use only by children attending after school
hour’s care.
Peanuts and Nut Products
A number of students in the P-5 section of the college suffer
from a variety of food allergies including allergies to seafood
(including fish), insect bites, eggs and particularly peanuts
and nut products. I would like to remind parents that the
college encourages parents and children not to bring
particularly nuts or nut products in lunches. Some students
attending the college can experience a life threatening
reaction if exposed to these food items. In some cases,
simple skin contact with nut products can cause a severe
reaction in these children. I would remind parents that if your
child suffers from food allergies to advise your child’s teacher.

Changes to the Child
Protection Policy
At the end of last year, there were some changes to the state’s
Child Protection Legislation that impacts directly on Non-State
Schools in Queensland. These changes state that:
if a college staff member reasonably suspects, in the course
of their employment, that a student is likely to be sexually
abused by another person - that staff member must give a
written report of the suspicions to the principal, and
the principal must immediately give a copy of any written
report received to a police officer.
These changes have been amended in our college Child
Protection Policy, which you can view on the college website
via the following link:
(http://www.pacificlutheran.qld.edu.au/index.php/my_plc/parent
_lounge/policies/). In addition, staff are currently undergoing
training in accordance with the new amendments.

Maths Moment
Maths Puzzle of the Week
Congratulations to Noah Cotterell and Jack Hirst (Year 8) and
Mitchell Jones (Year 10) for solving our first puzzle with the
matchsticks.
Here is our second problem for the year:
101 – 102 = 1
The statement above is incorrect.
Can you make it correct by simply moving one digit to a new
position? (Think outside the square!)
Email your solution to [email protected]
Calculators
Having a calculator and learning its many functions to assist
with more complex mathematical concepts is a requirement
for all students in Years 7-12. The expectation is to purchase
a scientific calculator (fx-82MS) for Years 7-9 and senior
Maths A or Prevocational Maths students. A graphics
calculator (fx-9860GAUPlus) is necessary to complete the
senior syllabus requirements for Maths B and C students.
Students who study Year 10 Pre-Maths B have the option of
purchasing the graphics calculator during Year 10, as this will
give them many more opportunities to hone their skills in
preparation for senior Maths B. For a graphics calculator
note, come to S-Block staffroom for myself or ask their Maths
teacher.
Maths Tutoring
The college wants to support students academically and
again have tutorials for students in Years 7 to 12 who would
like extra assistance or clarification of concepts in
Mathematics.
These tutorials are on Thursday lunchtimes (in room L14) or
Thursday afternoons from 3.30pm to 4.30pm in room L14 and
are supported by Mathematics teachers on a rostered system.
Students are welcome to come along for a quiet place to
complete Maths classwork, homework or ask for assistance.
The expectation is that they work quietly and not be
disruptive, and that they remain within the room until 4.30pm
or are picked up earlier by a parent. The section in the
Student Handbook on page 178 is to be filled in if you would
like your child to attend.

Pacific Soccer Update
Sign-On for 2013 season
Last Saturday morning, Pacific
Soccer hosted Just for Kicks at Pacific, which
allowed us to introduce many new players to our
sport. It was a wonderful morning and the
spectators all enjoyed seeing so many children
having fun with various games and activities and
learning a little more about the game. We would also like to
welcome our newly registered players to Pacific Soccer and
we all look forward to seeing them playing with their team
mates on the field from Saturday, 9th
March.

NO 292 | FEBRUARY 2013
We would also like to welcome back many existing players,
who also took advantage of the early-bird registration last
Saturday, and re-signed with Pacific Soccer for the 2013
season.
Our last sign-on day for 2013 will be held tomorrow morning
(9th
February) at Pacific so, if you have not registered yet and
would like to play, please come along tomorrow morning. We
will have tables set up outside the Prep building at Pacific,
from 9.00am - 12 noon.
For more information regarding sign-on, please refer to the
flyer at the back of the newsletter.
Places Available with Pacific Soccer
Pacific Soccer will be registering many teams this year in age
groups from U6 to U15. If your child is turning 5 during 2013
(born 2008 or earlier), they are eligible to play for Pacific
Soccer and we would love to have you join us for the 2013
season.
Pacific Soccer has always encouraged and welcomed boys
and girls to our sport. In 2012, we were privileged to have the
U13 Seahorses participate as our first all-girls team, and they
received a tremendous response from all of our spectators
and many other clubs, for the passion, commitment and
teamwork shown by the players throughout their entire
season. SCCSA rules allow girls to automatically play down
one grade, so if you would like to play with your friends in a
Pacific Soccer team this year, please let us know and come
along to our registration days.
Equipment Required for Pacific Soccer
Players
Players are required to have soccer boots and shin guards for
training and for all matches. Socks and shorts can be
purchased from Pacific’s Uniform Shop. Our Pacific Soccer
training shirts have been very popular, and are usually worn
for training, and to and from the game on Saturday. Match
jerseys are supplied by Pacific Soccer and will be brought to
each game by the team manager.
A-Mart All Sports
A-Mart All Sports Kawana has
offered a 20% off Discount
Weekend for Pacific Soccer players, which will be held from
Thursday, 14th to Sunday, 17
th February.
If you need new sporting equipment, please delay these
purchases until you have registered with Pacific Soccer. A-
Mart All Sports has been a long-term supporter of Pacific
Soccer and have provided discounts for our families, and all
purchases which are made also benefit Pacific Soccer, when
we buy our equipment.
Coaches and Managers
For the 2013 season, we are pleased to welcome Mr David
Becker, as our Director of Coaching. David’s role is to
provide assistance and guidance for our coaching staff, to
allow each team to develop throughout the season and to
achieve to their maximum potential.
If you would like to share your child’s excitement and passion
for their sport and become more involved with our team as
either a coach or a manager, please let us know. SCCSA
offer free coaching clinics, which are designed to introduce
drills and ideas for new and existing coaches. Even if you
have not been involved as a coach or a manager before, I am
sure that with David’s support and his knowledge and
experience, you can also provide a valuable contribution to
your team. The active involvement of our parents within each
team will also benefit all our players as they continue to learn
new skills and to grow throughout this season and beyond.
Pacific Soccer can only operate with the ongoing assistance
from our parents and volunteers. Therefore I would like to
acknowledge the generosity of the current committee
members and the many parents who have already offered to
take on the role as a coach or manager, and I thank you all for
kindly giving some of your valuable time to be part of Pacific
Soccer.
To complete our committee for 2013, we still require a
Secretary and a Vice President. If you would like to be part of
the Pacific Soccer committee for this season, your
contribution will be greatly appreciated by the club and, of
course, by our players and will help Pacific Soccer to continue
to grow into the future.
If you have any queries regarding registration, or if you need
any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
