WHOLE SCHOOL

From the Principal

Several members of the teaching staff have been nominated by the community for the National Excellence in Teaching Awards (NEiTA). Congratulations to the following teachers in the primary school: Kate Porter; Briar Bracey; Ailsa Crockett; Annette Box; and the following teachers in the secondary school: Kerry Daud; Margot Shave; George Higgins; Kate Weidemann; Courtney Burton; Claire Bloomer; Brad King; Cassandra Argent; Thomas Smithers; Kate Montgomery; Nicole Walker; Chris Dunn; Tammy MacGinley. These awards are designed to encourage and support educators through recognising those who are examples of excellence in their profession. It is a wonderful way to recognise the fantastic and important work of our teachers and is a great reflection on the quality of the whole school teaching and learning community.

Term’s notice of withdrawal

This is just another reminder to parents that if your child is not returning to 168��’s in 2022, we require one full school term’s written notice if you intend to withdraw you child from the school. Otherwise, you will be charged one school term’s fees in lieu of notice. Currently, we are working on the 2022 timetable and staffing, and it is important that we have accurate enrolment numbers. In some year levels, we have waitlists and we need to be able to contact those on the list who are hoping to secure a place at the school. To meet the requirement of a term’s notice, advice can be received up to the last Friday of the September school holidays. Advice may be emailed directly to me or to our admissions via admissions@stmargarets.qld.edu.au

Parent Survey

We are into the second week of the release of our parent survey which would have been sent to you by MMG Education. We are hoping to have at least a 50 per cent response rate in order to canvas as many opinions as possible, and provide us with solid benchmarks (to compare against both future surveys we will conduct and the benchmarking that MMG can provide us against other similar schools). Currently, 35 per cent of parents have responded, and I sincerely thank you if you have afforded us some of your time to complete this comprehensive survey.

This survey (across Prep to Year 12) gives you the opportunity to express confidentially your views of the ways in which we meet your needs and those of your daughter/s. It will remain open until the Sunday 12 September, so I urge you to please avail yourself of this opportunity to have your say.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this important project.

From the Deputy Principal

The 124^th Annual Speech Night and Prize Giving Ceremony (Tuesday 12 October 2021) is fast approaching, and excitement is building as students anticipate the end of the year and all that it brings.

This year we will again be booking tickets for Speech Night online through QPAC booking system. We are so pleased to be back to 100% capacity and with Years 5-12 joining us for this very special evening. Please note that families are asked to reserve no more than two tickets per family.

Bookings will open for Year 12 parents only this Friday 10 September 2021, and these families will receive an email this week with the details of how to make their booking.

Tickets for all other year levels will open to the rest of the school at 5pm on Tuesday 5 October 2021. The prize reading assembly occurs on this day.

Your daughters will receive their tickets at school (they will not be sitting with you) and therefore you do not need to book seats for them.

This year there is the added option of print@home which will make it much easier for families to access their tickets. Of course, families are still able to choose the option of QPAC box office collection; however, please be aware that the box office is a busy place just prior to the event so you may wish to opt for print@home.

We will continue to liaise with QPAC and will be sure to communicate with all parents as to any COVID restrictions that will be in place for the evening.

We look forward to seeing many students and families at our annual Speech Night and Prize Giving Ceremony.

Since the beginning of 2020 and the pandemic, it seems our lives have become a bit of a moveable feast. We have had to learn to be flexible with making plans for all our school services, functions, and events. We have had to create plan A, plan B and even sometimes plan C. Many plans for last year, this year and beyond have had to be changed as we face the latest lockdown and restrictions within our state, in our country and around the world.

During this time, we are acutely aware that many of our students, staff and families have not been able to physically connect with their loved ones over this time. All these situations have certainly challenged us. In some ways, we seem to be moving faster, the pace is quickening. It is at these times we need to centre ourselves. I often say to the students, take a deep breath, its amazing how these deep breaths can calm our hearts, mind, and spirit. It is at these times we also need to find our Sabbath. It does not have to be the traditional Sunday, it could be any day, a half a day, or perhaps an hour. We need to be intentional about how we find our Sabbath, a moment, to pause, and breathe deeply.

Please find below, a poem about the Sabbath. May we find our Sabbath.

Mother Sabbath

A time...

one day a week,

one year in seven,

a moment of repose.

A place...

a temple, church, ashram, mosque,

beneath an ageless tree,

a mountain top where spirits abide,

a sacred site within.

A meeting...

of people

who pause awhile

to be in touch,

to laugh, to cry,

to pray as one;

to share the silence;

to feel alive,

to be renewed in one another.

- Noel Davis from Heart Gone Walkabout

Boarding offers a time for growth and change, struggle and triumph. This is a critical time in student’s lives. Part of the Boarding experience is to teach the students independence, resilience and the ability to problem solve with the support of the staff. Part of the experience is not always getting it right, but then having the support to try again. Some students experience more difficulties and obstacles than others, but all students deserve the same attention and care.

Important in this process of growth, are our Housemothers and Senior Boarding Staff. They possess the ability to anticipate a challenge or success, see a need and respond to it, and look past a problem to its solutions. All Boarding Staff are teachers, coaches, advisors, mentors, parental figures, cheerleaders and someone who is there to catch the girls when they fall. Pastoral care has always been a huge focus in Boarding, creating a strong foundation of support. Our staff take on multiple roles to support each individual student.

Community is about the human factor and our boarding students belong to a community that is supportive, warm and caring. We strive to ensure that all girls are included and that parents understand that we endeavour to create the best ‘home away from home’. Closing in on Week 9 has been a true testimony to this, term 3 is quite the marathon, but we are all making sure we get your daughters to the finish line.

Dean of Academics

More than any other technique, the key to performing well on exams is starting early and using short, frequent study sessions. This has become a bit of a mantra for me over that last 2 weeks as I speak to many girls at lunch and morning tea times about how to move successfully through to the end of term.

Research has found that the human brain learns academic material faster and better if time is spent “preparing and reviewing” in brief blocks of time spread out, rather than long study sessions. For example, you have a better chance at performing on an exam if you spend one hour a day for 20 days than if you spend 10 hours studying each day for two days before an exam. Therefore, we need to encourage all our students to plan ahead, that includes dividing material into ‘chunks’. To cover across the lead up to the exam and when studying, use time to develop and make study resources. But most importantly use study time to practice, recite and rewrite the content being covered. Below I have shared with you some specific strategies, I share with the girls about ‘preparation and review’ techniques and the differences so you can also discuss with your daughters if they need some extra guidance.

Preparation Strategies

Review Strategies

Develop study notes/concept maps

Make word, formula, question cards

Do revision quizzes or redo class activities

Answer questions from textbooks

Recite study notes/ concept maps

Practice word, formula and question cards

Practice writing main points

Recite out loud content to be remembered like formulas and definitions

Next Term, I will be working with the Year 10 Academic Advisors and Students to complete an online Study Skills Program to equip the students with a toolkit of strategies they can draw on to assist them with their approach to their learning as they move into Year 11.

NAPLAN Online

Today we ran the School Readiness Test (SRT) for NAPLAN online with students in Years 7 and 8. Thank you to all students who arrived with charged laptops and wired headphones. This was a great learning experience for both the school and all students who participated. Over the next 6 months we will continue to take advantage of the public demonstration site, formal NAPLAN Online practice and our own practice tests. This will ensure that our students are familiar with the platform when they sit NAPLAN Online in May.

End of Term Reflection

As the end of the term creeps closer, I encourage students to reflect on their own Term 3. Consider asking your daughter(s) the following: Were you able to achieve the goals you set at the beginning of the term? Why or why not? What are some things you did well, and what are some things you would change?

Self-reflection is important as it help us to develop our skills and review their effectiveness, rather than doing things the way we have always done them and expecting different or better outcomes. It is important to question, in a positive way, what we do and why and then to consider if there is a better or more efficient way of doing this in the future.

Caitlin McCluskey

Dean of Students

We often hear that teenagers are ‘under construction’ but we sometimes forget the amazing transformation that their brains are going through. Emotions run high when dealing with ‘irrational’ behaviours of adolescents and adults can struggle to get their own heads around what’s going on inside the teenage brain. As we approach the holidays, I thought I would share a short but excellent article that was published in Harvard Magazine in 2008. It concisely explains what is happening inside the brain of our children and gives scientific reasoning for their sometimes unpredictable behaviours.

How can teens be so clever, accomplished, and responsible—and reckless at the same time? Easily, according to two physicians at Children’s Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School (HMS) who have been exploring the unique structure and chemistry of the adolescent brain. “The teenage brain is not just an adult brain with fewer miles on it,” says Frances E. Jensen, a professor of neurology. “It’s a paradoxical time of development. These are people with very sharp brains, but they’re not quite sure what to do with them.”

Research during the past 10 years, powered by technology such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, has revealed that young brains have both fast-growing synapses and sections that remain unconnected. This leaves teens easily influenced by their environment and more prone to impulsive behavior, even without the impact of souped-up hormones and any genetic or family predispositions.

Human and animal studies, Jensen and Urion note, have shown that the brain grows and changes continually in young people—and that it is only about 80 percent developed in adolescents. The largest part, the cortex, is divided into lobes that mature from back to front. The last section to connect is the frontal lobe, responsible for cognitive processes such as reasoning, planning, and judgment. Normally this mental merger is not completed until somewhere between ages 25 and 30—much later than these two neurologists were taught in medical school.

Teen brains, for example, are more susceptible than their adult counterparts to alcohol-induced toxicity. Studies also show that marijuana use blocks cell signaling in the brain. Jensen highlights, “We make the point that what you did on the weekend is still with you during that test on Thursday. You’ve been trying to study with a self-induced learning disability.”

For his part, Urion believes programs aimed at preventing risky adolescent behaviors would be more effective if they offered practical strategies for making in-the-moment decisions, rather than merely lecturing teens about the behaviors themselves. For this reason, the 168��’s pastoral care team are working towards providing students real life scenarios to where the girls can role play their responses.

By raising awareness of this paradoxical period in brain development, the neurologists hope to help young people cope with their challenges, as well as recognize their considerable strengths.

This week is National Child Protection Week, which is coordinated by the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN). It is a week that reminds the nation about the importance of supporting families so that they can protect children. Each year a theme is selected; this year’s theme is:

Every child, in every community, needs a fair go.

To treat all of Australia’s children fairly, we need to make sure every family and community has what kids need to thrive and be healthy.

Traditionally, National Child Protection Week commences on Father’s Day and I believe it acts as a reminder of the part significant males play in family life.

It was wonderful to launch Father’s Day celebrations with our primary school breakfast last Thursday. On this special morning, a carnival atmosphere permeated - the Spring sun shone, the men mingled, and the girls proudly gifted their ‘ties’. Thank you to Annette Box for organising and overseeing this event and to everyone else involved in making this event a great success: Kerry Rider, Maria Elisseos, teachers, administration staff and the kitchen staff.

Our celebrations included for the first time a bonding activity. Many adults took the opportunity to donate their money and time to create a SolarBuddy with their child. This activity also introduced our school community to this global community of change makers, particularly the CEO, Simon Doble. He shared his story of inspiration and courage as he set about to find a solution to eradicate energy poverty.

As a school, we are grateful that we were able to offer our families an opportunity to play a small part in this solution to a global problem. Providing these gifts of lights and letters will positively impact lives by increasing study hours after dark, offsetting carbon emissions and reducing kerosene expenditure. Also, by creating SolarBuddy to be distributed to families in developing countries, we are offering the children in these families a “fair go” as is the aim of National Child Protection Week.

Our school has committed to purchasing three hundred SolarBuddy's. If you would like your daughter to make one during a school workshop, please make your purchase through . Further to this, if you would like to purchase multiple SolarBuddy's to engage in a corporate team building exercise, please call the Primary Office to arrange purchase and collection. We look forward to your continued support of this significant global solution.

Parent Survey

I would like to reiterate to our primary parents the importance to the school of you completing the survey those parents in Prep to Year 6 would have received from MMG Education. The survey is the opportunity for you to express confidentially your views of the ways in which we meet your needs and those of your daughter/s. Your responses will assist the 168��’s School Council and Senior Leadership Team to review the school’s operations and plans for the future. Please avail yourself of this opportunity to have your say. The survey will remain open until this Sunday 12 September.

Rowing Success

The Head of the River – Rowing’s Grand Final and the biggest event in the schoolgirl rowing calendar took place on Sunday 5 September, at Wyaralong Dam. It was a very special day for 168��’s with every crew having their best race on the day. The 168��’s shed finished first in the Year 8, Year 9 and Senior age group and second in the Year 10 age group. The efforts of all the rowers secured the Overall Aggregate Cup.

The Open First Eight rounded out a magnificent day of racing for the shed with a dominate victory 5.78 seconds ahead of the nearest competitor bringing home The BSRA Trophy for the shed. A replay of the racing can be found at:

At a glance 82% of crews stepped onto the podium at the Head of the River with 90% of crews finishing in the top 4! 168��’s finished 181 points ahead of the nearest competing school with a total of 835 points.

The results of the shed can be attributed to the leadership of the 2021 Rowing Captains, Primrose Carrigan and Rosie Turnbull who united and inspired the shed throughout the season.

The ringing of the bell for crews that were victories on the day could be heard along the Brisbane River as it rang long into the night at the End of Season Rowing Presentation on Sunday night.

Congratulations to all Maggies Rowers on an outstanding season!

Club Netball Success

It all started back in January when over 230 168��’s girls took to our new purpose-built Philip Harris Gym for Club Netball clinic and trials where we formed 23 teams ages 8-18 years. Teams trained weekly and took to the court each Saturday March to September at the Downey Park Netball courts. Each week the girls were encouraged by their Coaches, Team managers and well supported by our wonderful Netball Parents Support Group who ran fundraisers, raffles, and the annual trivial night. We missed a couple of rounds towards the end of the season with Covid restrictions but managed to get all teams back on court culminating in the final games and Grand final matches last Saturday 11 September. Five Maggies teams hit the court with great support resulting in 4 premierships and 1 runner up. Our NSG teams (5 -10) years also took to the court showing great growth in their skills and the love of the game over the season.

Rhythmic Gymnastics

On Wednesday 1 September, the 168��'s Rhythmic Gymnastics team competed at the QGSSSA Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships. It was a fantastic display of poise and skill with many teams clinching a top 3 podium finish and the Year 7iii team placing 1st. Well done to all girls for their commitment, perseverance and performance.

Winter Fixtures

It was a super Saturday of fixtures against Ipswich Girls Grammar School on the weekend. Hockey had a clean sweep with the Open team winning 6-0, Snr A’s 6-1 and the Junior team winning 12-0! Netball won 8 out of 11 matches with the Open, Senior A, Senior C, 10B and 7A teams remaining. Tennis won all but one grade with a convincing win by the Open team 36 – 7. Meanwhile our 10A and 7A Volleyball teams continue on their winning ways claiming victory 3 sets to 0. Congratulations to all teams on some great performances. The final round of fixtures occur on Saturday 11 September against Clayfield College at their home venues. For all game schedules visit the or the individual Sport pages.

168��’s Rowing Support Group – Thank you to our supporters

Our 168��’s rowers performed incredibly well at Head of the River on Sunday, with the 168��’s shed winning Year 8, Year 9, Senior and the Overall Aggregate Cup. They also won the Open Eight Head of the River Trophy which rounded off a fantastic day on the water for the students, with most producing their best performance for the season. 470 proud parents, family members, rowers and coaches attended the presentation at the shed on Sunday evening.

The success of the shed each season wouldn’t be possible without our wonderful sponsors. As a collective, our sponsors provided over $45,000 to support our students this year in cash, in kind support and goods. We sincerely thank our generous sponsors for their outstanding support and we look forward to continuing the relationship in 2022.

Thank you to our Platinum Partner, Torque Toyota; our Gold Partners, Riverside Marine, Barambah Organics, The Calile Hotel, Hoppy’s Handwash Café, Ethos Orthodontics and Red Earth Energy Storage; and our Silver Partners, Henzell Real Estate and Fonzie Abbott.
