This week schools across Queensland have celebrat-

ed Child Protection Week. This week aims to draw

attention to one of the most important aspects of

life – the safety of children. Whilst the reality is that

we would always hope to protect and shield our

children from any hurt from child abuse – the harsh

reality is that no one can guarantee that they will be

immune to these unexpected moments. One reality

that we can try and experience is that we can all do

something to try and help prevent the hurt and pain

of child abuse.

I hope that the enduring message our young men

take away from this week is that they have an unde-

niable right to feel safe in this world and that should

they ever feel unsafe or even uncomfortable by the

actions of an adult or another person they must talk

with someone and share their concern. This week at

the College every boy has had our Child Protection

message repeated and emphasized. In a very basic

way, this message is that every boy has the right to

feel safe here at the College and if the actions of an

adult, through what is said to them, shown to them

or done to them in any way makes them feel un-

comfortable or hurts them, they must report this

immediately to a person they feel comfortable to

tell - either Mum or Dad or a staff member at the

College or any adult they trust. With respects to

child protection, some of the messages I hope we

all realise are:

Child protection is everyone’s business. The re-

sponsibility lies with adults in keeping children

safe from harm. All members of society need to

play a part in ensuring children are nurtured and

safe.

Adults are essential in ensuring children’s safety

and well-being.

Listening to children and young people is the num-

ber one indicator in assisting their safety and well-

being.

Children and young people are honest. They are

unlikely to lie about abuse. They are more likely to

stay quiet about abuse or harm than to speak up

(especially if they know their abuser).

Here at the College we have a very clear policy on

Child Protection and I would encourage parents to

read over the policy. A copy of the policy can be

found on the College website under our Community

banner and a copy can also be located in the Paren-

tal Lounge in SEQTA. At the College we have a num-

ber of trained Student Protection Contacts – Si-

obhan Brophy, Gail Northcote, Charles Brauer,

Conor Finn and myself. Should you want any more

information on our policy or you have a concern, I

would encourage you to make contact with one of

us to discuss these concerns.

I would also let you know that there are a number

of agencies that families can contact for profession-

al support outside the College.

Communication this Friday

I would remind parents that there will be significant

disruption to communication with the College on

Friday and I draw your attention to the following

message that was sent out to all parents yesterday:

“This Friday, 11 September 2015, Telstra will be

completing an important upgrade at the College for

both our internet and telephone connection. Due to

this work the College will have no internet, email

and very limited telephone connection on Friday, 11

September 2015. I would ask all parents to note that

there will be a mobile phone that parents can con-

tact in an emergency - 0457 456 647. Please limit

calls to this mobile to essential calls only. For stu-

dent absences, please send a text to 0457 456 647.

With the internet down and therefore our Flexi-

schools payment system, the College Tuckshop will

be closed ALL day on Friday including breakfast.

We apologise for this inconvenience, we had tried

to have this work scheduled for the upcoming

school holidays without success. We thank you for

your understanding and patience with this unavoid-

able inconvenience. “

Communication Survey

Timing is often unpredictable and unfortunate. De-

spite the message above regarding communication

problems for Friday I would like to ask parents for

your assistance to help us review our communica-

tion strategies at the College. By using the link be-

low I would encourage you to take a few minutes to

tell us what mediums you find helpful in staying up

to-date with the College. The online survey is anony-

mous and it will provide us with invaluable insight

into what is preferred and works better for our com-

munity with regards to communication. Please assist

us by completing this survey by the end of the

school term. An email will also be sent out to par-

ents with details on accessing the survey. The value

in the survey responses will be strengthened by the

widest range of parents who respond to the survey.

I thank you in anticipation for your help with this.

Industrial Matters

You may have seen media reports about industrial

action taking place at some Catholic schools next

week. This industrial action is linked to enterprise

bargaining negotiations currently being undertaken

with all Queensland Catholic schools. A ballot to

take this action was held on a school by school ba-

sis. Please be advised that there will be no action

occurring at Ambrose Treacy College and our school

program will not be disrupted in any way. Industrial

matters are always a sensitive issue and I respect

the rights of employees to take appropriate industri-

al action. It is my hope that some common ground

will be found in our current Enterprise Bargaining

process.

ATC Car Show

The inaugural Car Show takes place this Sunday on

the College fields from 8.30am. This is a great morn-

ing to spend with your sons as they envisage them-

selves sitting behind the wheel of a classic car and

thrill at the sound of roaring engines. Entry for chil-

dren is free and gold coin donation for adults. Thank

you to Paul Gleeson and his team for organising this

P&F friend-raising event.

Prayers

I would ask that you please keep Glynis Galletly and

her family in your thoughts and prayers following

the passing last night of her mother in law Carol Gal-

letly. We hope the passage of time will heal the pain

they are feeling at this sad moment. Eternal rest

grant unto her O Lord and May perpetual light shine

upon her, May she rest in peace. Amen

With best regards,

Michael Senior

A series of information and reminders as we approach the last week of the term. Internet, email and telephone interruptions This Friday, 11 September 2015, Telstra will be com-pleting an important upgrade at the College for both our internet and telephone connection. Due to this work the College will have no internet, email and very limited tele-phone connection on Friday, 11 September 2015. I would ask all parents to note that there will be a mobile phone that parents can contact in an emergency - 0457 456 647. Please limit calls to this mobile to essential calls only. For student absences, please send a text to 0457 456 647. With the internet down and therefore our Flexi-schools payment system, the College Tuckshop will be closed ALL day on Friday for all food & drinks, including breakfast. Track and Field Carnival All students are to meet at the University of Queensland Athletics track on Sir William Macgregor drive St Lucia before 8.20am next Tuesday for our Inter-House Track and Field carnival. Our normal Brisbane Bus Lines and Southern Cross buses will be redirected to UQ. The nor-mal buses will pick up from UQ at 3pm and drop the boys off at their usual bus stop. If transport is a problem please contact admin@ATC.qld.edu.au. Parents are most welcome to come along and be a part of the day. Year 9 Subject selection All Year 8 families are reminded that subject selection forms for 2016 are due back to the Student Reception tomorrow Friday 11 September. Vaccinations A reminder that the third and final immunisation clinic for ATC Year 8 students will take place on the first day of Term 4- Tuesday 6 October at the College. ATC Jazz by the River The Jazz by the River Festival will be held on Saturday 17 October. Every boy should have brought home a special invitation this week. Please follow up if you have not re-ceived this invite. All bookings can be made online. Bus Passes Bus passes can now be purchased for Term 4. Parents are able to go to the ATC website to order online. Woolworths Earn and Learn As you know, our school has been participating in the Woolworths Earn & Learn program. The program has now finished for this year, so a big thanks to everyone

who supported this program. We're now at the stage where the Sticker Sheets are collect-ed and lodged as our Earn & Learn claim. So this week, please send in your Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker Sheets and any loose Earn & Learn stickers you may have. Remember to check your handbag, the car glove box or they may be stuck on the fridge. Every little bit helps. Thanks again for all your sup-port! Study Centre A reminder to parents that Study Centre will not take place in Week 10 of this term, or Week 1 of Term 4. Study Centre sessions will resume in Week 2 of Term 4. Can I please ask parents to ensure that they remind stu-dents that they should be engaged in purposeful study or homework completion, at this time. On occasions, boys have come with little work to do, and with the expecta-tion that they can ‘play’. The purpose of study centre is to support boys in their learning. Some of these disposi-tions for play, though understandable, can create pres-sure both for teachers, and for students trying to accom-plish their learning goals. Today (Thursday 10 September) is the last day of Aca-demic Coaching and Study Centre for Term 3. Both Aca-demic Coaching and Study Centre will commence in Week 2, Term 4. Ministerial Taskforce: Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance Review As mentioned, the Queensland Government has an-nounced our current Year 8 students will enter Year 12 under a new arrangement of assessment in Queensland. This week the Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance Review Ministerial Taskforce met for the first time. The Hon Kate Jones MP, Minister for Education highlighted the importance of regular communication with all schools and schooling authorities during this process. The Minister outlined five priority areas for the Taskforce which includes the balance between school-based and external assessment, meaningful reporting on senior as-sessment outcomes, tertiary entrance processes and transitioning to an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Au-thority (QCAA,) has developed a timeline for implemen-tation of any changes to the senior assessment and ter-tiary entrance processes. This timeline will be made available to all secondary schools within the next week. This is an exciting development as we plan ahead for our first graduating Senior students of ATC.

Understandably at this time of the term many of the boys are

experiencing the stress of having a number of assessment

pieces due. This will become a semi-regular occurrence as

they enter Senior School so it is important that we help them

to develop organisational and stress-management skills now

to build resilience and help them avoid being overwhelmed by

work in the future. The development of a study schedule in

the lead-up to the end of term is one method of helping the

boys ensure they are on top of their upcoming assessment. It

is as simple as identifying upcoming assessments and assign-

ing each night a piece to work on or study to complete. This

work should be

done in a high-

traffic area of the

house if possible to

help keep the boys

on task. It is also

critical that the

boys still have bal-

ance and are able

to enjoy some time

off doing things

they like. Building

in a reward struc-

ture to their study sessions helps with this.

Teachers are doing their best to assist the boys in navigating

this period. Please encourage your son to see their teacher at

lunch or after lessons to receive additional help if they are

struggling with a piece of assessment.

Good games for developing brains: The New Science

In ‘The New Science’ the boys take the role of a famous scien-

tist from 17th Century Eu-

rope, such as Newton, Kep-

ler or Galileo. They must use

their limited time and ener-

gy to research discoveries,

experiment on new ideas,

publish papers, respond to

opportunities that happen

around them and network with important people. The Scien-

tist who wins the most prestige is appointed the first Presi-

dent of the Royal Society.

Science as a human endeavour is one of the strands of the

Australian curriculum that must be covered in class. Reading

about past discoveries and famous scientists can be a bit tire-

some for the boys so this game allows us to cover the curricu-

lum in a more engaging and fun way. By taking the role of a

famous scientist, students can begin to understand the pres-

sures and experiences of these scientists as they compete to

push forward scientific understanding and earn fame and

prestige.

HPE:

In PE lessons, year 7s

are learning Ultimate

Frisbee. Self-refereed

games are conducted

where spirit of the

game and sports-

manship are consid-

ered to be more im-

portant than the out-

come.

Students conduct self

and peer assessment

using a ‘spirit of the

game’ score sheet. Receiving peer feedback is often much

more powerful in modifying and developing skills and behav-

iour than teacher feedback.

Design Technology:

In Design Tech students have completed the designing of their

CO2 Dragsters and have commenced production. They are

cutting their Balsa blanks on the scroll saw and are shaping

their land rockets to shape. They will be completing them ear-

ly next term with an estimated testing in week 3 of next term.

First Lego League:

The ATC Ro-bros are in an intense training period in order to

prepare them for the

rigours of the First Lego

League Trash Trek com-

petition. As part of the

competition the boys

must come up with an

innovative solution for

the level of waste pro-

duced in the world. They must respond to the question, ‘How

can we make less rubbish or improve the way we handle rub-

bish?’ in the form of a tradeshow presentation.

In addition to their presentation, the boys must take part in

the robot game. We have constructed the table (see picture)

and the boys must program their robots to complete 12 mis-

sions on the table including sorting items into recycling and

waste, crushing cars and repurposing waste. It is difficult to

convey the demanding nature of this programming challenge

however I have been impressed by the tenacity and enthusi-

asm of the boys involved. They will compete with other teams

at QUT on

November

21.

In 1954 Dr Seuss was given a list of 250 words and challenged, using only these words, to write a book that would bring young children back to reading. Seuss used 236 of the words and wrote The Cat in the Hat. The rest, as they say, is histo-ry. In an era where ‘overthinking’ is fast becoming the crisis of choice, serenity and wellbeing are still to be found in the simplest of places --‐ such as the words of Dr Seuss. So, as we approach the end of a very hectic Term 3, I am inviting all families to take the 7 Day Well-being Challenge. Each day of this week, choose one of the follow-ing sayings of Dr Seuss and make it your mantra for the day. Be mindful of how it influences your view of your day and notice any ways you feel better as a person. Day 1. A person’s a person, no matter how small. Demonstrate courtesy and respect for every per-son you meet today. Day 2. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any di-rection you choose. Make at least one excellent decision today. Day 3. Teeth are always in style. Let everyone you meet today be warmed by your smile.

Day 4. Step with care and great tact. And remem-ber that life is a balancing act. Focus on quality before quantity today. Day 5. From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere. Look for funny things and respectfully celebrate them. Day 6. Think and wonder. Wonder and think. Your world is full of mystery with amazing people and things. Keep an eye out, notice them and appreciate them. Day 7. Today I will behave as if this is the day I will be remembered. Let everyone see the very BEST version of you today. And the final word from Dr Seuss: Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. This week, care an awful lot about being wonder-ful.

REMINDER: The very first ATC school CHESS compe-

tition is being held on Wednesday the 14 October—

the 2nd Wednesday afternoon of term 4. This will de-

termine a year level champion and a school champion.

It will be held in the Mt Sion iCentre from 3.30pm to

6.30pm. If you would like your son to join in this com-

petition or would like more information, please email

Mrs Sue Goonan. Alternatively your son can sign on at

the library or at College Reception.

The Service Program is a great way to connect with our community and give service to others and their commu-nities. Service can bring fun, laughter and cherished memories.

Ethan and Angus attended the Brisbane Motorcycle Street Feed this morning and helped feed the home-less. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are now attempting to raise money for the organisation as they are privately funded and do not receive any Government assistance.

Linus and Ted volunteered at their younger sister’s “Clean Up the Prep Grounds” morning.

Joshua, Xavier and Lochlan volunteered at their old pri-mary school fete enthusiastically setting up stands and relocating tables, boxes and music equipment.

Jackson and friends ran a round robin hand ball competi-tion to raise money for Sailability, an organisation to help children with different needs be included in eve-ryday activities.

Congratulations to our students achieving service hours. Please continue to share your photos and ex-periences by email signumfidei@atc.qld.edu.au

Weekly Focus – Media Arts

This term in Media Arts, students have been experimenting with an online image editing programme called Sumo Paint. Similar to Pho-toshop, this programme requires students to work like Graphic Designers to create an image using a series of layers. Firstly, students were introduced to the basic tools in Sumo Paint and created a personal logo using shape and text. Students then looked at previous issues of Time Magazine focusing on the annual Per-son of the Year issue, initially students brain-stormed ideas and discussed layout, appropri-ate image selection and composition. They were then asked to create their own Time Magazine cover that featured themselves as Person of the Year for reasons of their choice. Students have been working well in class and produced some pleasing finished products.

P&F AGM—John Messenger outgoing President As reported in last week’s newsletter, our recent Annual General Meeting saw Martin Bradshaw’s successful nomination to the role of P&F President, following John Messenger’s decision to ‘retire’ from the bench. John reminded us that while he is stepping down, he is not going anywhere until after 2026, when his youngest son graduates. P&F Secretary Sharon Ward and Treasurer Diana Taylor have agreed to continue in their very important roles. Some roles still available With no nominations for the role of Vice President, Hel-en Hicks will continue in this role through to the end of the year, or until a new VP is found. Other roles that require filling as soon as possible are the Grants Coordinator, Technology Coordinator, and Communications Coordinator.
