NAPLAN tests the skills of Reading, Writing, Language Conventions and Numeracy. Later in the year parents will receive and individual report and the College will receive reports about how the students performed on that day.

Parking A number of Prep and Year 1 parents are parking in the Prep area or dropping their children off outside the Prep and Year 1 classrooms. I understand that this might be more convenient for parents, but it does cause congestion for our ELC families. Please use the Kiss and Go car park outside the JS bus shelter to drop your children off at school. Your assistance with this is appreciated. Student Council The student council is very active this year and have two main projects for this term. The first one is called the 5 cent challenge. Within each class there is an empty milk bottle for families to deposit their 5cent coins. The money raised from this challenge will go towards purchasing Super Max Turtles for children who are sick and will also go towards the East African Hunger Crisis. Their second project is to write and collate a second student newsletter. If your children would like to write an article for this newsletter, please have them type it up and email it to Mr Schumacher. It will be considered for the next publication. NEiTA (National Excellence in Teaching Awards) St Andrews Lutheran College has many outstanding teachers who often go above and beyond for the students in their care. Each year parents have the opportunity to nominate teachers for these awards. Nominations for the 2017 National Excellence in Teaching Awards are now open. If you would like to nominate a teacher please follow the link https://asg.com.au/asg-neita to the NEiTA website and nominate a teacher today. Applications close on the 3rd of July. In Brief – Celebrating the Good Stuff • Some College students went over to the Aged Card to help conduct a belated ANZAC Day service. • The Year 2 students contributed to the family service last weekend. It was great to hear them sing, read bible verses and pray. • Year 4 students arrived at school on Monday to see their classrooms destroyed by a natural disaster. It was staged to mimic a natural disaster as a provocation to their latest Unit of Inquiry. The students are now really engaged in their next unit and have many questions that need answering. • Auskick and Boxball has been running for 2 weeks now. It great to see so many children actively involved in sporting pursuits. Upcoming Events 16th May – Mufti Day. The theme is Camouflage and funds

Chaplains Chat Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewellery or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. – 1 Peter 3:3-4 NIV In our society, a lot of emphasis is placed on looking beautiful. We are exposed to airbrushed models, designer clothing labels, perfectly engineered Facebook profiles and Barbie Dolls that have unrealistic figures. Wherever you look there are people obsessed with how they look. In Middle/Senior Chapel this week we explored the notion of beauty as portrayed in the latest revision of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, now showing in cinemas. In this classic tale, a handsome prince is turned into a hideous beast. To escape the spell placed on him he must love and be loved by a girl before it is too late. As a result, the beast is ever-conscious of his horrible looks and wonders if anyone could love him for who he is and what he looks like.
STEM – What does it mean to us in the Junior School? At St Andrews, all of our teachers in the Junior School are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) teachers as everyone teaches critical and creative thinking. Every teacher models and values analysis, evaluation and redesigning. Every teacher values innovation. Teachers observe the greatest levels of engagement when learning for the student is set in a meaningful context, is authentic, student driven and has real world relevance. That is the pedagogy we strive to immerse our students in as they explore their units of inquiry. When relevant within the unit of inquiry, the students are offered opportunities to engage in STEM activities both within the classroom and in our newly developed STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Room. We have intentionally added “Arts” to promote a broader concept of creativity.
In the same way, many of us are embarrassed by how we look. There is often some feature or part of ourselves that we like to keep hidden from others. But, this is not God’s view of you and your body. When God created the world and everything in it, including human beings, he created it very good (Genesis 1:31). As a result, there is beauty to everything and everyone God has made. Christians also believe, however, that sin has forever altered the beautiful world around us – not necessarily making things less beautiful but making beautiful people do awful things. Real beauty, therefore, has less to do with outward appearances and more to do with what’s on the inside. In the movie, Beauty and the Beast, the qualities that makes the beast attractive or beautiful to his would-be bride are his inner qualities of kindness, generosity, dignity, empathy and love. Perhaps it’s OK to seek beauty, but not beauty in the way it is often viewed. God tells us through the words written in 1 Peter 3:3-4 that real beauty is achieved through a relationship with God that is grown and nurtured in quietness and obedience to him. This is what God considers beautiful, and the truth is, this is what other people consider beautiful as well. Nathan Glover College Pastor
Our Year 5 students are launching into a new unit which sits under the transdisciplinary theme of How We Express Ourselves and the central idea is: Visual elements contribute to the expression of ideas and feelings. The students have the opportunity to program the Spheros to create pathways for a desired lighting effect.
Whenever possible we also embrace STEM experiences outside of our College. Recently over the break, Anenya Kale who is in Year 6 had the opportunity to attend the STEAM Residential Program 2017. The following is Anenya’s reflection: The highlight of my Easter Holiday was attending the STEAM Residential Program at the Stuartholme School in Brisbane. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. The program was specifically for girls, in Years 5 and 6. We each got to choose one of the elements of STEAM, as a workshop over the course of 4 days. I was in the Science Workshop, in which I learnt about the cardiac system and the heart. We participated in our chosen workshop throughout the day, and in the evening we would split up into our dormitories and have some free time. We would then have dinner, and then some night activities involving all the elements of STEAM. The purpose of the program was to motivate girl students to be excited about STEAM subjects. It also taught us about gender equality and women involved in STEAM careers. We had the opportunity to listen to 14 inspiring women in the STEAM profession, and they talked to us about their chosen areas and the challenges they faced in their career. This was highly beneficial to us, because it opened our eyes to different career paths, and gave us specific inputs on working towards a STEAM career. All of the activities were engaging and fun, and they taught us the importance of STEAM in our lives. I met like-minded students from different schools who shared my interests. I enjoyed learning with new people, and it was sad to leave! I consider myself lucky to have this great opportunity, and it was an amazing learning experience. I loved the STEAM Residential program, and I am looking forward to going back next year! We are blessed to have such enthusiastic learners in the Junior School who are keen to be creative thinkers as they offer solutions to real world problems Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15 NIV
Thanks you for helping us to support other students and educators!

Japanese News Junior School Japanese classes have implemented the carousel teaching strategy to provide students with choice of activity, a variety of activities and exposure to reading, writing, speaking and listening tasks in each lesson. Through these rotations we are also able to cater for different students needs for each task. Our Prep students are currently inquiring into places. Here you can see them gaining knowledge about places in Japan.

A calendar of trials has been on the College website since the start of the school year. CROSS COUNTRY Mr Manion has selected teams for the upcoming Hinterland District Trials (optional) on Wednesday May 17th and the SLAPS (Inter Lutheran – compulsory) Carnival on Tuesday May 23rd.

Many students missed the first week, so AFLQ staff will conduct an extra week for anyone who signs up and starts in week 4 of term. Please remember that parents are responsible for delivering students to the Top Oval for the program. Last week we had issues with some parents parking in ‘no parking’ areas. Please be patient and considerate if you need to park for Auskick (or any other reason for that matter) Maybe try and share the responsibility of taking children to Auskick with other parents. It was great to see that our young ‘Auskickers’ had such a great session. You can still sign up at www.aflauskick.com.au but you will also need a form from Mr Manion to sign and return.

This gives the Yºear 6 students valuable leadership experience and provides our younger students with numerous activity opportunities. Andy Manion Junior Sport Coordinator
Many, many thanks to the St Andrews ‘Born to Knit’ group. It turns out that the St Andrews community were born to knit, crochet and sew. It has been an amazing seven-year community project that has brought together our students, mums, grandmothers, staff, congregation and their friends and family with a shared goal to make blankets for Save the Children to save the lives of children under 5 in countries such as Laos, India, Cambodia, Vietnam and Australia.

POSITIVE PARENTING
Fathering daughters By Michael Grose 6 practical tips for dads on how to be a great father. A father’s influence lasts a lifetime, and it is an important compliment to the mothering role. More and more research is confirming that a female’s sense of worth as a woman, is commonly rooted in her experience with her father. Fathers affect the lives of their daughters in intriguing ways. Including her academic and vocational path, her career success and financial well-being. The well-fathered daughter is also the most likely to have relationships with men that are emotionally intimate and fulfilling, and have better emotional and mental health. Here are five tips to help you be a great father to your daughter.
1. Make the connection One of the most natural ways a father can make a connection with his daughter is through purposeful physical affection. A hug, shoulder squeeze or a kiss on the cheek helps to create an emotional bond with daughters who desperately crave these displays of affection. This is great news for fathers, because if you can’t find the words to say it then you have a second opportunity to show it through physical gestures. Studies have proven that physical touch makes us feel better both physiologically and psychologically. But children — especially daughters — need more than just everyday gestures given in passing. When a girl’s need for affection is met by her father it has a protective measure on her future sexual relationships.
When fathers can have a purposeful physical relationship with their daughters, which is done in a way that supports her feelings of safety and connection, it can also help to stress-proof them. When girls are given opportunities to be involved in physical play outside the house and in outdoor activities, they begin to understand the skill of risk-taking. Girls who are treated too softly and are not provided with opportunities to experience risk, are left in a vulnerable position.
2. Invest in her As a father, you can appreciate your daughter for who she truly is. Help her to identify her unique qualities and value them. Avoid investing in who you think she should be. This can happen when fathers feel like they don’t understand their daughters. Remember, this can happen easily as girls tend to morph into what is expected of them rather than excel towards who they truly are. Instead, do whatever it takes to try to understand her. Spend time together, share stories and experiences. Give her opportunities to show her true self, and this will strengthen the relationship. Be there and be engaged. Get off the bench and into the game, be enormously present and don’t let anyone dull her spark.

POSITIVE PARENTING
Fathering daughters 3. Listen without fixing Dads wishing to fix things can make us lousy listeners. Your important job is to listen out for the feelings and the emotions; your daughter just wants to be heard. Listening is essential for every father, even though it sometimes goes against their instincts. The father who has worked on being a sensitive listener will reap the benefits of his daughter’s trust; he’ll be the natural person to go to when she has questions about boys or men. She needs to hear your ideas and feelings about relationships. Promoting open verbal interaction with your daughter will enable you to give her a male perspective on her questions or problems. You do not need to agree with everything she says or does, but when you listen, you build the emotional connection that will help her listen to you when it really counts.
4. Watch your language The language you use when talking to girls matters. Everything that is said can be taken very seriously and to heart by your daughter. Thoughts and comments are easily internalised, amplified and exaggerated. Differentiate being pretty from being beautiful. Prettiness is not a good thing to stay to a girl, even if she is. Being told she is pretty teaches her to start to trade on her looks and she will expect people to say that. Beauty and attractiveness are not pretty, and
it is really important to differentiate those when talking with your daughter. Praise her for the values and characteristics she has which make her beautiful.
5. Provide warmth Fathers need to find their softer side when dealing with their daughters, to help them open up and share and provide an emotionally safe place for them. When fathers are called upon to give corrections or direction, they can do this in a warm and loving manner that she will positively respond to. Offer your strength to your daughter in a different way than you would to a son.
6. Be a positive male role model As a girl tries to figure out what men are like, the first one she watches is her father. He can be one very significant example of a man who is consistent, trustworthy, and sensitive to feelings, who places his family at a high priority in his schedule, who keeps his promises, and who invests his energies in the lives of those around him. As her father, you play a large role in showing your daughter what a proper, respectful male response sounds and feels like. Treat her mother and her sisters with the same respect. As a father, you have many choices about how to use your influence in a positive and empowering way.
One of the most important factors that determines a woman’s confidence in life is the relationship she had with her father. You are in a privileged position to make a remarkable difference to a future woman’s life.
