Anzac Day 2023

On Tuesday of this week, our Year 12 Prefects, students, members of the CLT and members of the extended St Laurence’s College community attended the Anzac Day Service at Ekibin Memorial Park. During the service, Mr Gavin White, Secretary of the Yeronga/Dutton Park RSL Sub-Branch, spoke about the legacy that was hoped to be achieved by the many people who represented their young nations during the first world war.

It was at this point that I was able to reflect and wish that Mr White had been at the St Laurence’s College ANZAC Day service, only 24 hours prior. To see 1900 young men in complete silence and stillness as we heard stories of those who had sacrificed and served for others, showed the level of respect and reverence of a community that understood the legacy of those before them.

The incredible sense of occasion and respect shown by our young men during this service was a credit to all involved in the St Laurence’s College community and well noted by our ex-serving past students.

I would like to thank Ms Susan Chuck (mother of Old Boy Ben Chuck) for presenting to our community on ANZAC day and to Dr Anthony Young, Paul Corfield (in his absence) and the music and formation teams for the organisation of the service.

Parent/Teacher Interviews

On Monday evening staff and parents met to discuss the academic growth of the students at our College. This is always a productive night. It is most important to continue to focus on the learning improvement and growth of the boys in our care. I thank Ms Wardrop and her team for their work in coordinating this very important opportunity.

EREA Student Survey

On Thursday of this week, students took part in an online EREA survey. The survey is designed to capture student voice on a wide variety of issues of College life. The results, which will be available later in the year, provide us with an understanding of our own student context, but also allows us to compare ourselves to other schools in the EREA network. The survey is a valuable tool and I thank the Pastoral Team for coordinating this opportunity and Mr Nick Lieschke and the IT Team for ensuring its seamless implementation.

AIC Round 1

There is considerable excitement this week as we begin Term 2 AIC sport against Iona College. Iona will be both formidable opponents and welcoming hosts and we thank them for this. I look forward to strong competition, good sportsmanship and wish all those involved the best of luck.

MR BEN LOWRIE

Principal (Acting)

Edmund Rice Society has seen Term 2 start with a reinvigorated group of students, who are ready to take part in Immersion activities, that highlight social justice issues that impact our community. From enlightening our community, to honouring the importance of reconciliation week, highlighting sustainability practices and support of various other ethical issues, this group of young men seek to make change and engage the entire College in these causes.

MR JAMES MENDOZA

Head of Service Learning

Academic Masterclasses

The Academic Prefects are organising and running some academic masterclasses during Term 2. These are designed to help students in Years 10, 11 and 12 with their academic approach, and will be supported by various staff sharing their expertise in specific areas. The afternoon sessions will start in the Theatre at 3.15pm and there will be some refreshments provided afterwards (approximately 4.00pm).

The topics presented will be:

• Wednesday 10 May: How to Write Academically
• Wednesday 17 May: Critical Thinking Skills
• Wednesday 24 May: Effective Study Habits and Time Management
• Wednesday 31 May: How to Research Effectively
• Wednesday 7 June: How to Write to the ISMG

A form for students to nominate Masterclasses will be sent in the near future. Students can nominate for any number of these opportunities.

Goal Setting for Term Two

As we begin Term 2, it would be beneficial for students to plan how their progress in all subjects will look over the coming weeks and challenge themselves to ensure that they have appropriate goals and time management systems in place. Importantly, given that this is a short term, students should focus on their learning habits and developing an attitude that realises that continually improving is the key to setting goals. I encourage students to set some goals, make them visible, and refer to them weekly in order to work towards a successful outcome.

The concept of a growth mindset has been discussed with the students on many occasions and is now a well-researched and understood mechanism for driving improvement. Research shows that many people at the top of their fields were not those who were outstanding initially. For these people, effort and hard work eventually outperformed the apparent natural talent that others may have shown when younger.

Embracing challenges, seeking feedback, learning from failures and persisting to improve will give students the best chance of developing talents and succeeding. Parents should ensure that praise is focussed on effort and not results.

The act of setting goals assists students by allowing them to reflect on what they would like to achieve, which in turn enhances motivation. By creating a weekly plan each weekend, and stating some medium and longer-term goals for the term and the rest of the year, students will create an environment that focusses them on what is important in the short term (organisation), and what they are aiming to achieve in the longer term (motivation).

Students who wish to discuss their academic progress, or would like some assistance and advice on their work and study habits, are encouraged to see Mr O’Sullivan (Senior School) Ms Kentrotis (Middle School) in the Teaching and Learning Office.

MR ANDREW NEWCOMBE

Acting Dean of Teaching and Learning

Verbal Conferencing in English

It was in the school where I worked before coming to St Laurence’s College that I first lost my faith in rough draft feedback. At this school, all the English teachers, including me, would collect

student rough drafts, write comments and suggestions for corrections on the draft (circling spelling errors, and underlining sentences that needed fixing), and return them to students. We always wrote these comments in pencil to lessen the impact of the criticism – we were worried about the emotional effect of students receiving their rough draft covered with red pen marks. One day, just after Year 11 assignments had been submitted, I heard one of my fellow English teachers yell in indignation. Concerned, my colleagues and I asked her what was wrong. She held up a student submission (back in those days, all submissions were hard copy) and pointed to it angrily. “This student just rubbed out the comments and corrections I made on his rough draft and resubmitted it as his final. I spent all that time going over his rough draft and suggesting improvements and corrections, and he didn’t even read them. He just erased them!”

I am not suggesting that there is anything wrong with the practice of collecting and marking rough drafts. In this little anecdote, the problem is not the practice of giving feedback on rough drafts but student engagement. This student just did not care about improving his English. He did not need more feedback on his writing. He needed someone to convince him that he should care about his learning.

At St Laurence’s College in the English Department, we don’t collect rough drafts, mark them, and hand them back to students. We have Checkpoint Meetings in which students verbally conference with teachers. In this article, I would like to explain why, as a department, we do verbal conferencing rather than written feedback.

First, a Checkpoint Meeting provides the teacher with a lot more information. I always start a verbal conferencing session with the questions: ‘How are you going with this task? Is there anything you’re confused about?’ Often, a student will have questions about aspects of the task about which he is unsure. Or he will say that he is not at all happy with his draft and he is thinking of rewriting it. Meeting with students in person helps the teacher to track aspects of the task that students may be finding difficult or parts of the task that may need to be re-taught. It also helps the teacher gauge how confident and involved students are with the task before providing feedback, and the sort of feedback that is going to be most helpful for the student at this stage of their preparation. There is little point in helping a student fix their punctuation if they are not even settled on their ideas for the task.

Second, Checkpoint Meetings allow the teacher to give feedback that empowers students to improve their own work. One of the biggest drawbacks of written feedback is that it can point out to students areas of their work that need improvement but not provide them with the tools they need to make that improvement. If I am conferencing with a student who is not putting full stops at the end of their sentences, I do not know, based on a written draft alone, why this is happening. Is the student being lazy? Or does he just not know what constitutes a sentence? In a verbal conferencing session, I can ask this student questions to work out why he is not punctuating his sentences, explain to him why it’s important, and then teach him a process to fix up his work independently.

Third, Checkpoint Meetings allow teachers to provide actionable feedback. Giving students a long list of aspects of their draft that need fixing can be overwhelming and unhelpful. It is much more effective to give students two or three actionable things that they can change about their piece to take it to the next level, make sure the student understands how to make these changes, and then check in on them again later if needed. This means advice students receive during a Checkpoint Meeting may not be exhaustive, but it will be useful.

My favourite part about verbal conferencing as opposed to drafting is that it allows me to get to know the students in my class. I can ask them questions about their work: ‘Why did you choose that topic? I see you’ve set your story in the snow – have you experienced snow? This sentence doesn’t make sense to me. Can you explain to me what you were trying to express here? I like your use of a metaphor here, but I don’t think it’s setting the right tone. What were you trying to achieve here?’ Checkpoint Meetings allow the teacher to treat the student as a writer, and to have conversations about the craft of writing. This is the most rewarding aspect of teacher conferencing. And any teacher will tell you that the greatest joy of teaching comes from seeing students improve under their guidance. I have taught now for over twenty years, and I am always in awe at how much students can improve as thinkers and writers in just a few years – it is an absolute pleasure to be a part of this growth.

MR PAUL MOSCOS

Careers Counsellor

We began Week 2 with an exceptionally moving ANZAC ceremony thanks to Dr Young's organisation and speaker Ms Susan Chuck who spoke about the loss of her son in Afghanistan. Staff and students were equally moved and the service gave everyone an even deeper understanding of the impact of war and deployment on families.

We left feeling even more admiration for all of those who have served, are currently serving or gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Lauries Journey – Years 11 and 12

On Wednesday our two most Senior student cohorts received a presentation from Legal Aid Queensland. During the presentation, students were provided with information and case law around topics that included Consent, Drugs, Alcohol and Driving. Students found this presentation very educational and informative. Thank you to Mr King and Mr Lynch for organising this most vital presentation.

Lauries Journey – Year 7

Thanks to Mr Bird, our Year 7s participated in a LIVINWELL presentation from the organisation LIVIN about mental health, mental wellness and ‘It ain’t weak to speak’. They presented a well-being scale where students could rate their well-being on a four-point scale:  

From this they were encouraged to not just use the default response, ‘I’m fine’ when asked the question, ‘how are you’? LIVIN also took the boys through warning signs, self-care, helping yourself, helping others and referral services.  

In the coming weeks our Year 8 and 9 students will also benefit from this presentation.

Year 9 Camp 

Students have been sent some initial information about the Year 9 camp that occurs in Week 9 of this term and its ‘challenge by choice’ nature. For this camp, students have the opportunity to select the level of challenge they want to experience and step outside of their House groups. Therefore, at this Tuesday’s Year Level Assembly, Mr Gammie and Mr Yates will present the information and ask students to complete a Microsoft Form indicating their preference levels and to nominate a few friends with whom they’d like to share the experience. Further information will be available to parents in the coming week.

Year 9 Mother-Son Evening 

The invitation went out this week welcoming mothers or a significant female role model in the lives of our Year 9 students to attend our Mother-Son event on Friday 12 May with their boy. Please find the further details attached HERE.

Uniform – Yard Hats

In addition to ensuring that student hair, uniform and general presentation adheres to expectations, I would like to advise that many students will be asked to replace their yard hat. Some yard hats are simply old and well-worn, but some students have taken removing the band from the brim which leaves the edge looking torn, ragged and untidy. House Mentors and Heads of House may make contact and ask you to help your son to facilitate this, but if you notice your son’s hat in a state of disrepair I would ask you to help him rectify the situation. 

Best wishes for the week ahead.

MS VANESSA BELL

MR ROSS CAPERN

Head of Instrumental Music

A huge weekend ahead!

This weekend marks the start of competition for the Term 2 sports of Chess, Football and Rugby. This weekend will be a great challenge for our teams as we play Iona College in the majority of our fixtures. Iona and St Laurence’s College are now the two largest schools in our Association and competition this weekend across the three sports will be competitive.

Uniform 

One of the noticeable improvements in our Sports Program over recent times is the presentation of our teams. Having a consistent warm-up/training shirt, consistency of colours in our uniform and adopting the philosophy of “Look good, Feel Good, Play Good” are all steps to having a positive Lauries sporting culture. We ask that boys across all sports this term build on this positive culture by wearing the correct uniform in all fixtures. These are:

Chess – Full winter formal uniform including College blazer and tie. Socks should be pulled up to the appropriate length.

Football- Gold SLC Football Shirt (Co-curricular shirt should not be worn in games). SLC Black Football Shorts and Gold SLC Football Socks.

Rugby- Black and Gold ‘Bumblebee’ Jersey, black SLC shorts and black and gold ‘hoop’ rugby socks.

Winter Apparel- As the temperature decreases, it is important that students wear appropriate jumpers/jackets to sport. Students should be arriving at venues in the College tracksuit jacket, College jumper or if a student has been on a College tour/camp that has included a College Hoodie- this can also be worn.

Respecting Officials 

Every sport in Australia is finding it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain officials - particularly at the grassroots level. To find the necessary referees and officials to allow close to 70 Rugby and Football games each week is a challenge for schools and from discussions this week between all schools in the Association, the challenge this year is even greater.

At St Laurence’s College and in our wider Association, the vast majority of referees and other officials are volunteers, completing the difficult challenge of officiating games to ensure our students have the opportunity to play sport each weekend. Without referees, games would not be able to go ahead. As a community it is important that we display the required respect to all officials - this is from our players, coaches and spectators.

Our hope at St Laurence’s College is that all members of the community; players, coaches, spectators and officials enjoy their sporting experience. We look forward to a competitive season, full of challenges, success and learning from our mistakes.

Season Schedule/Draw

Over the weekend, the season schedule including the proposed venues and times for every game will be posted on the College App. The aim of doing this is to give families an indication early of game times and venues – particularly trying to highlight if there is a significant change to a ‘normal’ game time. It is important to note- that while this season draw will give a pretty good indication of when and where games will be played – the schedule is likely to change throughout the season. It is important that each week, families still consult the “Weekly Schedule” posted on the app. 

Good luck to all teams for Round 1 of competition this weekend.

MR EDDIE WALLACE 

Head of Sport

Dr Juergen Landmann has generously offered to donate his time for these vaccinations in the hope that families will make a donation to some of our ministries like, our House in Action projects and our food service program at Emmanuel City Mission.

St Laurence’s College has several Faith in Action groups through our Houses that we fundraise for, including Emmanuel City, Edmund Rice Camps and Sony Camp. Donations like this help us continue our work like our breakfast, lunch and dinner programs at Emmanuel City Mission. We are asking parents to donate through Parent Lounge in your nominated amount of $5, $10 or $20. Even if your son is eligible for a vaccination covered by Medicare at your local GP, the vaccine is normally still purchased for $15.

If your son is to receive the flu vaccination, please complete the following:

1. Please log into Parent Lounge and accept the invitation to give permission for him to have the vaccination

2. Complete the attached Flu Quadri Vaccine Consent and Medicare form

3. On the day, your son must bring the signed Flu Quadri Vaccine Consent and Medicare form; without this form, he will not be able to be administered the Flu Vaccine.

On Thursday 4 May 2023, Year 10, 11 and 12 students will be called from class to receive their vaccination and return to class after. As above, the attached Consent Form must be completed and returned with the student on the day of their vaccination.

Could you please respond by Thursday 27 April with permission through the Parent Portal and payment if you wish your son to be vaccinated.

If you have any questions in relation to this, please do not hesitate to contact us on 3010 1115

It’s that time of year again folks! 

The Mini Vinnies crew in Primary are looking to complete our Annual ILF Book Swap and we need your help. Dust off your shelves and donate any unwanted books you may have that would suit Primary-aged children, particularly 9-12 year olds. We are also very happy to accept any picture books you might have.

These books will then be sold by the Mini Vinnies students in Week 8 of this term for $1.

All money raised will go to the excellent Indigenous Literacy Foundation. The ILF produces books for children in their own Indigenous language; they provide education for remote Indigenous communities around Australia to increase literacy rates and the ILF supports reading by supplying books and other items to the remote corners of our land. It is a brilliant cause and one we have supported for over ten years.

Please donate any books you think would help our cause to the Primary office or 6MR before Week 8.
