From the Principal 2013 Fete Our biennial Fete is almost here and you can feel the excitement building. The St Andrews Fete is always a special day in the College Calendar, and has a wonderful reputation in the wider community. Many people under the leadership of Steve Dignan (Fete Convenor) have been working feverishly behind the scenes organizing stalls and food, coordinating volunteers, arranging sponsors, collecting prizes, selling tickets, organizing rides, and putting together an exciting program of entertainment. Thank you to all those that have been involved in helping to put the Fete together - it has been a remarkable effort. Thank you in advance to all members of our community who are giving of their time to help out on the day itself. It is sure to be an amazing day - a real community event. I look forward to seeing you there.
Excellent OP Results Some of you would have read the Gold Coast Bulletin’s report on the 10th May about the ‘Top 10 Gold Coast Schools’ for OPs 1-5 in 2012. Despite the very arbitrary nature of these so-called ‘League Tables’ it was very unfortunate that the report contained an error. St Andrews was omitted and should have been in-
cluded in that table. The results of our 2012 Year 12s actually placed them in the top 5 schools. 23.25% of last year’s Year 12s received an OP between 1 and 5a truly excellent result. It was also disappointing that the report did not acknowledge the wonderful results of our 12s last year, because their achievements (and that of their teachers) should have been publicly acknowledged. ‘Growing Good Men’ Project In Term 3 we will be offering an after school program for our boys in Years 9, 10 and 11. The program is titled ‘Growing Good Men’. Under the leadership of Mr James Nelson, Director of Student Development, the program will focus on mentoring of young adolescent males, rites of passage, connecting our boys with good male role models and what it means to be a man in todays’ society. This is another opportunity for our students as the College endeavours to provide ‘More than a Good Education…..An Education for Good.’ Future Building Developments At the start of the year, I wrote that the College was undertaking planning for construction under the CRC (the Middle/Senior Library Resource building) and a Kindergarten(Pre-Prep). Intensive planning for these two projects have continued since then, and we are at a stage where we are waiting on various levels of Government to give us permission to proceed and also to indicate what level of funding will be provided for the projects. If things go according to plan both projects will commence building in 2014. The plans for the Lower CRC include a much needed new Tuckshop with eating area for students, 2 specialist Language Laboratories/Classrooms, a Flexible Learning Space, and Learning Areas and Work Spaces for Student Services. By building these facilities under the CRC it also enables the College to convert G Block into dedicated learning classrooms for Year 9 and
Year 10 students, which they will use for their Core classes such as English, SOSE and Maths. From an educational perspective having a sense of ownership and connection to a space is very important to adolescents of this age. Plans for the Lower CRC Development can be viewed on the College Website. The plans for the Kindergarten or Pre-Prep are being refined and will be shared in a future edition of the College Newsletter. ‘Others Centred’ One of the things that continually impresses me about the students of St Andrews is that ‘it’s not about them, it’s about others’ in the community. The students of St Andrews have an ‘others centred’ focus. This is evident in how they use their gifts and talents to care for and help others. Recently this has been evident in our Senior School students who are preparing to undertake a Service Learning Trip to Cambodia at the end of the year; the forty or so Middle and Senior School students who have been founding members of the LEOs Club (Junior Lions Club), and some of our Year 12s students giving up an afternoon a week to tutor young students with their school work. Being others centred is something that doesn’t come naturally, and is something that is learnt, particularly from role-modelling. The work of our staff is critical in this regard, but so to is the role modelling that you provide as parents. Our children are watching us closer than we think, and so I thank you for the example that you set.
Student Lunches One of the things I do to get to know our students a little better is to have lunch with them in small groups. Last term it was the Year 12s, and this term it is the Year 6s turn. We have some absolutely delightful chats and I learn lots of new things each time. I always ask two questions of the students- ‘what do you like about St Andrews?’ and ‘if you were going to make St Andrews a better school what would you
do?’ In response to the first question there is remarkable consistency about what our students say - the teachers and how much they care, help them to learn and go the extra mile for them; and the sense of community - they like the fact that they know each other and others know them, and they are proud to be part of our community. In relation to the second question responses are more varied, but the one that brought a smile to my face recently was from one young man who suggested that the College should build a Flying Fox from the Admin Building down to the Junior School Playground…..obviously the trek back down the hill to his classroom was too far! Tim Kotzur Principal
Middle & Senior School News I have the best job in the world! I come to St Andrews every day and am afforded the great privilege of working with an incredibly diverse and gifted group of young people and dedicated, inspirational educators. My days are busy and challenging but throughout each of them, I know I am working purposefully towards important goals; to provide the best possible learning experiences for students within an authentically caring and Christian community. It strikes me that what I’ve described about my daily life at St Andrews is precisely what we want for our children; days filled with joy, challenge and the purposeful pursuit of goals and dreams within a caring and supportive community. This term we have continued to focus on promoting ‘positive psychology’ and a ‘growth mindset’ amongst our students. In the Senior School, ‘GRIT’ has been a key focus; grit is one’s ability to persist with sustained passion towards achieving a goal. Whether it is through the gruelling hours of Kokoda training our runners are doing, our musicians mastering a piece of new music or in a student finally balancing an algebraic equation in Math class, we want our students to feel pushed to achieve their personal best and supported as they persist towards mastery of their tasks. There is so much exciting research out there around the human brain and the
importance of a growth mindset at present. The good news for us all is that we now know that the plasticity of our brains (the ability to re-wire connections and develop in our areas of strength and weakness), means that IQ, the measurement of intelligence used when I was in high school, is a much less valid measurement for living a successful and fulfilling life than the development of thinking skills and character traits. As our students engage in learning and our curriculum, our teachers continue to promote the pleasures of thinking and frame experiences of success and failure as signposts for growth with an emphasis on students persevering and striving for their personal best. I was talking to Mrs Santi about the subtle way she promotes a growth mindset in her Math classes. When a student says, “I can’t do it.” her automatic reply is, “you can’t do it, yet!” A simple 3 letter word typifies the essence of persistence and a growth mindset. The belief that success is the result of practice, effort and hard work, and persisting in trying to find alternate ways of accomplishing one’s goals is what keeps us moving towards them.
Junior School News A Well Balanced Education The IB has developed Learner Profiles which describe the attributes that promote academic rigour and the establishment of a personal value system leading to international-mindedness. One of those profiles is Balanced. It means “Students understand the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others.” Too often in our lives we get out of balance and focus too heavily on one thing. It might be that we spend too much time at work, too much time studying, too much time playing minecraft, too much time on physical exercise or too much time socializing. All things are important and should be included in our day to day activities, but we need to get the balance right. At St Andrews we encourage the students to get a well-balanced education where the students can focus on their intellectual, physical and emotional well-being. Intellectual Well-Being The teachers provide an excellent program that has lots of academic rigour and encourages the students to think deeply about the topics studied. The students ask questions and then research to gain knowledge about that topic. Once they have gained that knowledge they use and develop their higher order thinking skills to take action. Age appropriate homework is used to support the learning that occurs in the classroom.
It is this learning culture with a focus on positive psychology, combined with the skills and habits that reflect a growth mindset which encourages our students to feel abundantly confident that they are ready to face what lies ahead, both academically and in other aspects of College life. Parents might like to look through the Student Diary (Pages 23-27) to read more about Positive Psychology. I urge parents to ask their children to talk to them about their signature strengths and to highlight the importance of persistence. Virginia Warner Deputy Principal Head of Secondary School
We encourage the students to explore and actively get involved in the arts. We want students to play in a band, act in the school play, paint a masterpiece or build something with their hands. This encourages them to think creatively and come up with new ideas that may be seen as “out of the box.” Physical Well-Being Too often we dismiss the importance of play. It is through play that children learn more about themselves and important life skills. It is also helps them to develop social and emotional skills which help them to be successful in their daily interactions with others.
The perceptual motor program encourages children to develop their fine and gross motor skills. This has an impact on their reading and writing as a lot of the activities that are used to build the fine motor skills are directly related to the development of reading and writing. Team and individual sports and the stamina developed through regular exercise help give the students the energy to stay focused on the material covered in class. A healthy diet is also very important to positive physical well-being. There are a plethora of sugar filled treats solicited to children on a daily basis, and it is becoming harder for parents to know what to avoid giving their kids and what’s safe. Becoming educated on what foods are healthy for kids will benefit your child now and as an adult. In addition to introducing healthier eating choices in the household, your child should drink water regularly to ensure good hydration and the mobilization of vitamins and minerals throughout the body. Emotional Well-Being The emotional well-being of the students is very important to us here at St Andrews. Without it, it is difficult to engage in the dynamic learning experiences that the teachers provide. Our teachers actively promote and teach emotional well-being by; • Taking the time to pray • Having times when students are quiet and reflective • Showing genuine interest, concern and respect for all children • Sharing in successes • Promoting a culture of belonging • Talking with children about their concerns • Acknowledging their own growth and the growth of others When all of these things are balanced in a child’s life, they will be in the best position to perform to their potential and really come to enjoy learning and growing as a lifelong learner. Darrin Schumacher Deputy Principal Head of Junior School

Seussical JR - Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th June 7pm RBT Seussical JR is the Junior School Musical to see in 2013. Based on the stories from Dr Seuss it is fun for the whole family. Please click here to book online! Sorry no door sales! Drama Excellence & Yr 10 Performance Evening Tuesday 28th May 6.30pm - 7.30 pm RBT Our Drama Excellence class will present a production of “What Are You Doing Here?” by David Campton. The play begins with a crowd on stage. A narrator appears and tries to understand why ordinary people can be turned into such an angry crowd. We see in a series of scenarios the small everyday events that upset people who in turn upset someone else. The Yr 10 Drama Class will present their production of David Campton’s “Cagebirds”. We meet eight birds in a cage who are totally absorbed in their own characteristics. When the Wild One is introduced she challenges them to escape – to think of life beyond their cage – but it would seem in the end, freedom seems less appealing than the safety of their prison. These productions are the major assessment task for these classes and they are very excited to share with an audience what they have been working on. Senior Music Evening - Wednesday 29th May 6.30pm RBT Come along and enjoy performances from our Senior Music Students. These evenings are also a great opportunity for students who are considering studying Senior Music to come along and see the standard produced. Senior Drama Evening - Tuesday 4th June 6.30pm RBT This evening is a presentation of scenes from both Year 11 and 12 Drama which is their Major Assess-
ment for the Term. Year 11s will present scenes from famous Realist Plays such as The Crucible, Steel Magnolias and Pygmalion. Year 12s will present scenes from Contemporary Australian Plays including Love Child, Secret Bridesmaids Business and Honour. Again, those considering studying Drama at a Senior Level are encouraged to attend to get an impression of the work covered in Year 11 and 12. Priscilla Scott Head of Arts
about the importance of trying many sporting and active pursuits to find something those students enjoy doing to stay active and healthy. Mark explained that the Kids TRYathlon series is a great opportunity to do just that and I think we have many interested TRYathletes!
