Funding for schools
As we head towards
the Federal elecon
scheduled for later this
year, the debate on
funding for all schools
rages in the media and
at Parliamentary level.
The Commonwealth
Government
commissioned a review
of funding for schools and
appointed Mr David Gonski to chair the Review.
The ndings were handed down in 2012 and the
Government responded later in that year.
The issues for parents to consider are clear:
The quadrennium arrangements to fund schools
nished at the end of 2012. The Government
extended this arrangement for one more year;
however, there is now no certainty about what
this signicant funding for St Peters will look like
beyond the end of 2013. Any new arrangement
requires a bill to pass through the Parliament
and we are all acutely aware that in this elecon
year, there are very few parliamentary sings
days le.
The Commonwealth Government has stated that
‘no school will lose a dollar ’; however, there is no
undertaking that funds will be indexed to keep
up with inaon in the years ahead.
The ‘Gonski Review’ determined that an
addional $6bn would be required to introduce
a more equitable funding arrangement for all
schools – it remains unclear as to how and when
this total sum will be apporoned to schools and
students through future funding arrangements.
It is important that parents monitor this debate,as any outcome will have a direct impact on fee
levels going forward.
Parent support groups
During the course of last week, I had the
privilege of joining the Music Parent Support
Group for their rst social funcon of 2013.
I encourage parents to be involved with the
various groups across the College. They not only
provide some funding support for a variety of
acvies, but more importantly, the ‘group’ is
both a friendraising and an informaon sharing
opportunity that is highly eecve for parents
whose children have an interest in a specic
acvity. Thank you to those parents who take on
leadership roles and give their energy to these
very worthwhile support bodies.
Kind regards
Mr A. Wiles
Head of College
What am I worth?In our culture there seems to be a grading system
of worth. If you do a Google search you will nd
a dollar value next to people’s names. Forbes
Magazine (2012) tells us that Mark Zuckerberg,
mastermind behind the Facebook iniave isworth $17.5 billion US dollars, Bill Gates ranks
number 1 at $66 billion dollars while the likes
of Oprah Winfrey only ranks number 151 witha worth of $2.7 billion US dollars. In a world
where we have children living on less than $1a day (while Kim Kardashian hold a wedding
cosng $10 million dollars in a marriage thatonly lasts 72 days) we can’t help but queson,“What are we really worth?”
During the recent holidays I spent Christmas and
New Year’s Eve volunteering in an orphanage
in Uganda. I learned many valuable lessons and
have countless stories that sll challenge and
encourage me. While in Africa I was speaking
to a woman name Judith, and throughout our
conversaon we stumbled upon the topic of
worth. Judith was abducted as part of Kony’sarmy, the LRA, and was forced to sell herself to
men in order to keep her life. While in a place of
heartbreak and desperaon she felt worthless.
As a result of what she had been through she
felt as though she was less than dispensable. The
way she was treated was inhumane and she was
told she was nothing. Despite all this she held
onto her belief that her worth was the same as
every other person on this planet. I asked her
to explain: She told me a parable. If she were to
take a 20 000 Ugandan Shilling note, scrunch it
up, wet it, drop it in the mud, what would it be
worth? I proceeded to answer, ’20 000 Ugandan
Shillings.’ Then, if she were to go to the bank,
get a brand new 20 000 Ush note, what would
it be worth? Once again, the answer was 20 000
Ugandan Shillings. Judith then went on to explain
that, no maer what we have gone through, the
troubles we face, the horric things that may
occur in this life, to God we are all worth the
same.
This noon seems incomprehensible in today’s
day and age. We have distorted the way in
which we treat not only others but ourselves. If
someone was to abduct Prince William or Harry,
what would the ransom be? In the millions I
suspect, if not more. However, every 26 seconds
a child is abducted sent into a life of slavery.
What ransom is being paid for them? I feel as
though the government would do everything
within its power to rescue a ‘Prince’. But what
about the children?
1st Timothy 2:5-6 says, “For there is one God and
one mediator between God and mankind, the
man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransomfor all people.” Christ has paid the ransom for all
people. We are all children of God worth equal
in His eyes. Just like the 20 000 Shillings, every
single person is worth the same. Imagine a world
where this was believed and lived out. We can
be the world. Believe in your own worth. And
help others to see that they are worth the world
to God.

CURRICULUM MATTERS
AUSTRALIAN CURRICULUM ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING
This year all Prep to Year 10 English, Mathemacs, Science and History will
be assessed and reported against the Australian Curriculum Standards.
Years 8-10
As the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporng Authority
(ACARA) standards are based on an enre folio of student work collectedthroughout the whole year, the mid-semester reports (end of Term 1
and Term 3) will provide an indicaon of student progress at that me
in relaon to the standard on a ve point scale A-E, not an achievement
standard as provided for other subjects. Detailed comments will be
provided at mid and end of year only.
Middle School Mathemacs Assessment (Deb Batchelor – Acng P-7Curriculum Coordinator)
In line with the requirements of the Australian Curriculum, in the Middle
School there has been a signicant change in the way that the children’s
Mathemacal understanding is being assessed. In the past, the children’s
knowledge of a Mathemacal concept has been assessed within familiar
situaons and their nal percentage equated to a grade. The children
oen performed well in these tests and received A’s and B’s. However,the Australian Curriculum achievement standards state that a child who
can apply the taught Mathemacal concepts within familiar situaons is
working at the expected level, which equates to a C.
In order to enable those students who are working above the expected
year level standard to demonstrate their ability, the Mathemacs tests
will include tasks which assess their ability to apply their knowledge and
understanding of a parcular concept in unfamiliar situaons. The students
will no longer receive a percentage, but will be given a grade.
The process is on-going, so if your child does not perform to year level
expectaons in one task, there is further opportunity in subsequent tasks
for the student to improve their grade for that concept. Throughout the
year the teachers will monitor your child’s progress in the classroom as well
as through formal tesng in order to give a nal achievement grade at the
end of the year. They will also communicate with you regarding your child’sprogress should the need arise.

BuddiesAn opportunity arose for non-prefect Year
12 students to show that seniors without an
ocial leadership role can sll be leaders of our
College. This happened for a number of our Year
12’s when they chose to visit the Junior School
to meet with a year level for a short me and
support the work of the classroom teachers.
Even with the inclement weather, they were
able to entertain the younger students through
reading with them or guiding them through
some work the teachers had prepared.
Both sets of students gave posive feedback
about their experiences and are keen to develop
this project further in the coming months.
Anna Brouwers and Anna-Chrisna Davila (Year
12) summed up the experience
“On Tuesday morning, 5 March, a selecon
of Year 12’s made the journey down the hill to
visit the Junior School. We found them grouped
around books, eagerly awaing our arrival. They
greeted us excitedly and were very cute. We read
with kids from the Junior School and then played
games with the year 4’s. I always remember
thinking I was much bigger when I was in year
4! The fracon work actually tested me. Now we
have actually met with the Year 4’s and other
students from the Junior School, we truly realise
that we are the leaders of the school and relish in
the opportunity to be role models and mentors.”

Year 6 NewsWith less than a week before we leave for camp, the Year 6 students’
excitement levels are geng high. With the current wet weather we’re
having, please ensure students have a raincoat or poncho included in their
bags, as well as a few garbage/plasc bags to put potenally wet clothes
in. Please remember that students must also have a spare pair of shoes
that will get wet while they are worn during kayaking. The campsite has
informed us that shoes such as Crocs are not suitable for this as they are
not totally enclosed. An old pair of sneakers is perfect or a cheap pair ofshoes from somewhere such as K-Mart will do just ne.
We are also geng to the me in the term where assessment items are
becoming more frequent. Next week we will have a History test on our
unit about Federaon. This is an open book test and will involve students
applying their knowledge of topics covered in class in various ways. One
example of this is the interpretaon of polical cartoons and posters from
that era. We have been working on these in class and students have been
emailed sample cartoons which may be used to help them pracce these
skills. If your child is confused about this or other assessment items, we
encourage them to approach their relevant teacher early in the assessment
process to minimise any stress that may arise.

On Thursday, 28th of February
2013, the Middle School
Leadership Team was driven
to South Bank for the GRIP
Leadership Conference at the
Brisbane Convenon Centre. We
felt so important and grown up!
We were introduced to the presenters, Andy and Mason. They explained
that there would be a series of challenges and games in order to mingle
with the other leaders and to learn about how we could enhance our
leadership qualies and skills and determine what sort of leader we are.
We were also shown a dierent interpretaon of ‘Heads, Shoulders, Kneesand Toes.’ The day was a total success and we very much appreciated
the company of Mrs Curn and Miss Casey who took care of us at the
conference; and of course we thank Mr Bygraves who drove us to the
conference and back. The Leadership team is ready for 2013. Bring it on!

8/128 // THE ROCK 07 MAR 13
Tips for parents of Year 8 studentsIs your child overwhelmed and feeling stressed? Is organisaon a problem? Do they have trouble
starng their work? Are they able to priorise? Are they red and lacking sleep? (9.25 hours per
night is recommended for this age group) Do they have diculty geng their thoughts on paper
even though you know they know the content? Are they doing too much? (They simply can’t t it in!)
Students at this age sll need signicant structure to manage their workloads. Most are unable to
organise themselves. Telling them what to do will not x the problem. They will require someone to
sit with them, help them get organised and will oen need someone to assist them to get startedwith their work.
If you are interested in nding out ways to support your child further you may like to check out our
new Year 8 Pastoral Care page on the College’s Learning Management System. This page is designed
specically for Year 8 students and includes important informaon discussed in form class me with
form class teachers. I recommend the ‘Wall Planner’ and ‘Organisaon’ pages for further ps and
suggesons. There is also a ‘Parent Informaon’ page with great suggesons and ideas for use at
home.
Over the next couple of weeks many assessment items will be due. To encourage your child’s learning
please monitor them during homework and study mes and contact their form teacher, or myself, if
you require some extra assistance.
Natalie BeneldYear 8 Coodinator
Year 9 NewsAer much ancipaon, Year 9 2013 Ironbark
briengs began. In a urry of nerves and
excitement, students in AB form classes had
their brieng this week. These briengs are
an invaluable part of the Ironbark experience.
Ironbark Director Mr Mahew Sullivan spoke
with the students about what to expect on
their upcoming Ironbark Journey. The 9ABCD
Parent Evening was also held on Tuesday Night.
Parents of ABCD Ironbark group who missed
the Informaon Evening will have their booklets
posted to them. Your booklets contain packing
lists and medical forms – an electronic copy will
also be placed on the Year 9 page of the portal.
Assessment for Year 9 students is building and
students are reminded to ensure that they are
keeping on top of their workloads. If your child is
struggling to meet the demands of the courses,
we have a number of support systems in place
here at St Peters and I encourage you and your
child to approach me to assist with this. The
assessment calendar is looking full from next
week unl the end of term. Please keep checking
your child’s diary and wall planner usage to assist
them in managing their me at home.

Year 9 Coordinator
YEAR 12 BUDDY PROGRAM
As part of being a senior leader it is important to
have opportunies that allow students to engage
in experiences that will make a dierence to
someone else in a posive way. Although theopportunies are limited for our busy
Year 12 students to interact with younger
students, it was not that surprising that the
30 seniors, who visited the Junior School
today during form me have come away with
overwhelming feelings of excitement. This week
is the start of our Year 12 Buddy Program where
senior volunteers will spend the rst 30 minutes
of their day interacng with students from years
1 to 4. This will be followed up by a third of the
senior cohort meeng the year 8 students on the
18 March also during form me. It is hoped that
this program will connue to strengthen these
connecons throughout the year so that the
senior students’ nal farewell will be even morespecial for those who have taken the me to be
part of something special.
Mrs Gagen
Year 12 Coordinator
Senior Resource CentreDuring the week we brought
to the aenon of students
World Read Aloud Day which
will be celebrated on 6 March.
World Read Aloud Day is a
day to connect with another
person through the joy of
reading together. 793 million adults – two thirds
of them women – lack basic reading and wring
skills. Included in this stasc are 127 million
youth aged 15-24 (UNESCO, 2009). In Booksurf
lessons the Year 8 and 9 students were given
me to read to each other and to realise the
importance of global literacy, marking this week
as a special week of reading. Imagine a world
where everyone can read...
// SENIOR SCHOOL// JUNIOR HIGH
Reminder!
The school day begins at 8.05am for Junior High.
A warning bell sounds at 8.00am and students
are expected to be at class by 8.05am.If students arrive aer this me they are

Laurence’s College this weekend. All Volleyball
xtures and Under 13, under 14 and 1 st XI cricket
will be played at SPLC. All other open cricket
will be played at St Laurence’s venues (check
draw for further details). It is important that all
cricket players check the wet weather line and
Sports House for training/game informaon this

were washed out against St Edmund’s last week,
however volleyball xtures went ahead. The 1 st
VI volleyball team remain undefeated and this
week will play in the top of the table clash with
SLC. I strongly encourage all SPLC community
members to support this team on Saturday at
2pm in the gymnasium.
The AIC Swimming Championships occur this
Thursday the 7th of March. Aer winning the AIC
Championship in 2012, SPLC will have to produce
outstanding results to again defeat our rivals
Marist College Ashgrove, who are again looking
strong this year. I wish all the AIC team the best
of luck for Thursday. Come on boys, you can doit!!
Rugby and Football pre-season training for

will be on Stolz Oval and the Indooroopilly State
High School Ovals and Rugby will be on Mayer
Oval. Rugby also have another session on Friday
morning on Mayer oval from 6:30-7:30am. It is
important the players communicate with their
coordinator during wet weather sessions. SPLC
will always try and do something with players if
wet weather is occurring.
All players wishing to play rugby or footballshould complete pre-season training. This
pre-season training will assist SPLC Term 2 sport.
Rugby players are reminded of the Rugby Camp
on Wednesday the 27th to Friday the 29th of
March at the conclusion of Term 1. This will be
the rst rugby camp for SPLC and all players are
required to aend. The rugby coordinator is Mr
Lath Stewart ([email protected])
and the football coordinator is Mr Fady Ibrahim
Any student who has missed the sign-ons
for rugby, football and chess can sll sign on
at Sports House in the coming weeks. It is
important to note that students who cannot
take part in pre-season training due to another
commitment (e.g. term 1 sport, music etc) must
sll sign on if they would like to play a term 2
sport.
St Peters, Volleyball. Under 14yrs, div. “B”
The game on Saturday was an intense game. The
rst set was to St Edwards (our opponents) and
the second set was to us. So it was a nal rally to
see who would claim victory. St Peters won in the
end. The team won because our training really
showed in the game. The communicaon was
up and Toms voice you could hear from outside,
clearly. Thanks to the moral support of the “A”
team we felt stronger. Another thanks to Dougie
and Luke for helping us in the game.
