Principal’s Message | Dr Michael Carroll

Dear Members of the Terrace Family,

As we journey towards the end of a disrupted term, it is important that all students finish with a positive focus. Most students are currently on exams, so a continued focus on revision and good exam preparation will be vital in achieving the best results possible.

This Saturday will see the conclusion of the Term 1 co-curricular program when we travel to Toowoomba Grammar School to play Cricket and Volleyball. I wish to thank the many coaches, parents and caregivers for their efforts throughout the term. Despite significant disruptions, our staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that students play as many games as possible this term. I also wish to congratulate the hundreds of students who have been involved in the Rowing, Swimming, Debating, Volleyball and Cricket programs throughout Term 1.

In staff news, I write to inform our community that Mr Brendan McGrath, who has been the Director of Rowing since 2015, will be leaving at the end of the term. Brendan has been outstanding in this role, and I offer my thanks for his valuable contribution to Terrace over the last eight years. I wish Brendan well in the years ahead.

Work continues to unfold at Tennyson, with a major focus on field restoration. A remediation program has been developed, and work should commence on the fields next week. Rebuilding the Tennyson facilities looks like a slow process, with the canteen, BBQ area, Rowing shed and grandstand unlikely to be ready until Term 3. Despite this timeframe, we should be able to access and use the playing fields while rebuilding.

The holiday Football and Rugby clinics will not be conducted at Tennyson over the Easter break. The Directors of these activities will provide further details regarding the clinics as they become available. We will continue to monitor the restoration process over the coming weeks and any possible impacts on the Term 2 Football season.

In student news this week, it is my pleasure to announce that Thomas Nunn-Rutledge and Thomas Musgrave have been selected in the Queensland Schools’ Debating team, which will compete in the Australian Championships later in the year. Their selection is a testament to their skill and dedication. Well done Gentlemen.

Finally, this week, I note that our COVID numbers have increased over the past fortnight. I encourage all members of our community to remain vigilant and continue to adopt COVID safe practices. While wearing masks is not mandatory, students are most welcome to do so. On Wednesday, I wrote to all families providing some details regarding masks, exams, and the procedures we have put in place for students who miss exams. The College and its staff will work closely with parents and students to ensure that no one is disadvantaged by the current COVID spike.

Have a great week.

God Bless.

Dean of Identity | Mr Terry Thompson

Feast Day of St Joseph

Ever Connected To The Past, Boldly We Walk Forward Together

On Monday, we celebrated the feast day of St Joseph through liturgy. It was an extra special day as the Terrace Family came together to bless and launch our Reconciliation Action Plan and unveil the College’s Reconciliation artwork. Sharing in our College’s commitment to embrace the ancient culture of our First Nations people and engage in their story is a vital part of our whole College story. This was an important day in the history of our College community as we celebrated walking together in healing and uniting hands in solidarity.

Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, characterises Saint Joseph as tender and loving, accepting, hardworking and courageous. These are characteristics that we hope to nurture in our Gentlemen of Terrace.

For Jesus, St Joseph bore the role of the Earthly image of his Heavenly Father. Throughout his ministry, Jesus referred to God as Abba, meaning father. Yet the first-person Jesus would have referred to in this way would have been St Joseph. Jesus saw the tender love of God in his Earthly Father.

St Joseph made an offering of himself and his life through love, as Pope Francis describes it, a love placed at the service of the Messiah who was growing to maturity in his home. St Joseph’s strength was founded in his gentleness, humility, love and vocation to serve God. Our College motto, To Serve God is to be Wise, is reflected in the life of St Joseph and is an inspiration to how the Gentlemen of Terrace live their lives.

As a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition, our Touchstones ground us in a spirituality of action that calls us to stand in solidarity with First Nations Peoples and the land. St Joseph’s College commits to our reconciliation journey with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our Reconciliation Action Plan and Reconciliation artwork form foundations that guide and strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and St Joseph’s College. The commissioning of this artwork and formation of our Reconciliation Action Plan highlights the College’s 31 priorities for mutual liberation and a truth-telling history for all Australians.

The title of our artwork, Ever Connected To The Past, Boldly We Walk Forward Together, captures the meaningful intention behind the College’s commissioning of this piece. This artwork shares our Terrace story. A story of generations who went before you, a story of generations who will come after you and importantly, the story of you transpiring now.

Ever Connected to the Past, Boldly We Walk Forward Together artwork by David Williams of Gilimbaa.

I would like to acknowledge Fr David Pascoe for celebrating our liturgy, David Williams (Wakka Wakka Country), the artist of our College’s Reconciliation artwork, our Reconciliation Action Plan committee and the Identity and Communications teams for planning and preparing a significant and meaningful liturgy.

Live Jesus in our Hearts...Forever.

St Josephs…Prayer for us.

Dean of Students | Mr Damien Cuddihy

Thank you for your response to last week’s Terrace News article on vaping. I have had several insightful conversations with parents on the topic, suggesting that our community is starting to develop a strong understanding of this trend amongst children. The common theme of the conversations is that it is not if, but when will our son come across the opportunity to try vaping and how we prepare them for that moment. I suspect this issue will settle in the coming years but likely have a higher prevalence than smoking cigarettes that we might recall in our adolescent years.

In recent weeks members of the public have contacted the College to express their concern about students not wearing masks while catching public transport. I ask for your help with this issue by continuing to remind your son and check that he has a mask with him and that he is choosing to wear it on public transport. The other ongoing challenge is getting the boys to stand up and offer adults their seats. It will be timely if you double down on that as well. As always, the College appreciates your support on these matters.

I would imagine that the homes of Terrace students have been busy this week with exam preparations. At the business end of the term, it is time for every student to bring together the work from the preceding weeks to ensure he is as well prepared as possible. As with most aspects of our lives, students need to understand that reward comes from effort; this includes academic success, which, in the long term, is more strongly linked to effort than natural ability. At the end of the term, I would encourage each student to take some time for genuine reflection about what he is proud of, and what needs greater effort and focus during Term 2.

Finally, I would like to thank the many students who opted to support our Rowing crews last Saturday. This followed Friday’s Gorilla Gathering, at which our Captains and members of the 1st VIII led a large proportion of the College in an atmosphere of fun and positive spirit. I have been delighted with the conduct displayed by all our supporters this year at the various events. The Seniors have invested a great deal of energy into creating a welcoming and positive atmosphere when we gather in numbers and, as a result, have set the year up exceptionally well.

Dean of Studies | Mr Mason Hellyer

During exam block, I meet with each subject cohort of Senior students 15 minutes before the commencement of their exam. There are several reasons to do this. Firstly, to gather them all in one space to ensure they are on time for the start of the exam. Secondly, to provide updates on what has been occurring and what may be coming up soon academically, as many will only come into school for their exams. However, most importantly, it is an opportunity to focus students on the exam ahead.

This has been especially challenging at present. Consequently, I have been using the concept of 'controllable vs uncontrollable' as advice for students navigating the pressures of exams and this period of uncertainty. The message is to recognise the stressors you cannot control, like the pandemic or what will happen in Term 2, and accept that you cannot influence these outcomes. However, you can control aspects of your life that will maximise your academic performance – exam preparation, staying healthy and getting enough sleep.

In these current times, it is essential that students feel they are in control of aspects of their lives and can influence future outcomes. Academically, this requires that students should be directing their energy and time into the things they can control, not on things that they cannot.

Unfortunately, during this exam block, many students will be unable to complete all of their scheduled exams due to a COVID diagnosis or having to isolate themselves. As outlined in the communication sent by Dr Carroll on Wednesday, if a student in Years 5-10 is unable to complete an exam before the end of term, they will receive an 'X' on their report for this subject. An 'X' simply demotes that a student cannot complete the assessment. It does not indicate that a student has not been successful in a subject.

I know that many students will be disappointed that they cannot complete an exam and demonstrate their ability in their subjects. As we have done in the last two years of pandemic disrupted assessment, an 'X' for a subject will not jeopardise a student’s chance of attaining an academic medal at the end of Semester 1. Therefore, I encourage students to continue to do their best for the remainder of this term and again in Term 2.

Dean of Waterford | Mr Luke Gribble

Year 10 exams have started and will roll into our final week of Term 1. In our Waterford gatherings this week, I highlighted the many regular classes in the exam timetable where students will be able to revise for the exams. Making effective use of this time using Active Revision techniques has been the theme and is outlined in the dot points below. These classes, plus the time spent at home, are an excellent opportunity to clear up any gaps in our student's understanding in what has been a disrupted start to the year.

Previously, I have discussed how our reliance on technology can at times lead to distraction, decreased productivity and impact heavily on sleep. As exams commence, our young men will need support and guidance to manage these key areas. Your son should have revision for exams firmly embedded into his home study routines. Often getting started is the hardest part.

As mentioned above, this week provides students with ample time to study. It is never too late to get started. Some key techniques for our boys to use that we have touched on include:

  • Active recall - you need to do the hard work by thinking, explaining, solving and writing
  • Utilising repeated practice at spaced intervals, be it weekly, monthly or by the term
  • Thinking and answering practice questions
  • Explaining things in your own words to help promote understanding
  • Create concise notes and questions individually
  • Linking information together
  • Creating mind maps
  • Interleaving - mix up subjects at night, mixing topics to increase information retention

The last two days of this term will see the boys partake in significant events on the Waterford calendar. Next Thursday, we will welcome Mr Tony Parsons from the National Drug Awareness Group, who will educate our students on the impact of drugs on our youth and challenge and empower our boys to make informed decisions. Next Friday, we will also welcome our longstanding provider, yLead, who will deliver an important component of our Formation program. One of the wonderful aspects of the Waterford journey is that our Year 10 men are provided with leadership opportunities, and many students have taken tentative steps in this direction. We have a long partnership with yLead and work together to encourage and inspire our students to think laterally, set goals and be empowered to take responsibility for their actions. Through challenging, team-based activities, yLead’s Leadership program promotes positive group dynamics and encourages students to reflect on their strengths in a time and space that builds confidence. We understand that resilience and a positive attitude require constant encouragement and practice and hope that this experience will be both formational and enjoyable for our students.

The Terrace Swimming Carnival will also be held in the middle session on Friday 1 April. It is an excellent opportunity for the boys to contribute to their Houses in true team spirit. All Year 10 students are expected to participate in this College sporting event.

Debating results

Congratulations to the QDU 8.1 and 12.1 teams who won their round in the QDU competition this week. The QDU 8.1 team is undefeated, as are the 12.1 who have competed across both QDU and GPS this term. This is a credit to the excellent coaching of Mr John McKinlay and 2021 Old Boys Luke Ames, James Panizza and Fergus Farrell, and the brilliance of the boys. Well done to all involved.

Congratulations to the Senior A, 12.1, 11.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 9.2, 8.1, 6.1 and 5.1 GPS teams who won against The Southport School on Friday night. A great conclusion to our GPS season.

The 6.1 and 12.1 teams remain undefeated for the GPS season. As we finish the season on a 'bye', we look forward to giving our final results next week.

State team success

Congratulations to our Debating Captain, Thomas Nunn-Rutledge, and Debating Vice Captain, Thomas Musgrave, as they were selected as the Queensland State Debating team members. As far as we are aware, this is the first time Terrace has had two members in the team, which is a testament to the dedication of the students and the diligence of our coaching staff over the years.

Senior production - Grease

With 40 days until Opening Night, all hands are on deck at our Musical rehearsals. With the Easter holidays coming up, all involved students must check the schedule to ensure they are at rehearsals when scheduled.

The Weekly Wrap

Cricket

Round 8 at The Southport School was action packed and summarised best by the finish to the 1st XI game. TSS needed three runs to win with one ball remaining and two to tie. As their batters returned for the second run, a Harry Dutton throw from the boundary and John Joyce’s quick hands ensured the run out completed - Terrace winning by a single run! During the game, Brayden Laffan again notched a 50, and Tom Campbell scored 44 to lead the team to 193. Wickets were shared, with Lucius Stockdale, Hayden Evetts and Sam Loch taking two apiece.

Due to the unavailability of Tennyson, trying to schedule entire rounds at other venues has been a tremendous battle. We have pushed to ensure all teams have a game. On the weekend, four teams played fixtures at Northern Suburbs District Cricket Club. This weekend, teams will play Toowoomba and Norths cricket, Redlands cricket, and Nudgee College to supplement the games lost at Tennyson. We ask that all players represent the College as best you can this Saturday, understanding you are on display to the broader community.

Congratulations to the entire Open age group. The 1st XI is in the running for a premiership. The 2nd and 3rd XI are also currently undefeated. The results of the age groups are in direct correlation to their attitude and effort displayed consistently across the season. Well done, boys. As an age group, you have shown excellent leadership to the younger Terrace Cricketers and provided a high benchmark for future generations.

Cross Country

The first round of the GPS Shield competition was held at The Southport School last Friday on a beautiful sunny afternoon. The boys competed well, considering the interrupted start to the season.

The Terrace contingent was led by a spectacular first place from Lachlan King in the Under 10 race, Alex Pavlakis, who placed 4th and Will Reilly, 5th. Mitch Taylor was top 10 in the Open age group with a strong run, pacing 3.36min/km average for 6 km. An honourable mention to our Under 13 age group who fought strongly for an excellent finish. Official results are yet to be released.

Runners of the Week
  • Under 10: Lachlan King
  • Under 11: Tom Walsh
  • Under 12: Miller Ryan
  • Under 13: Will Reilly (10.30)

The 9th Junior GPS Carnival was held for the first time at Nudgee College on Thursday 17 March. Our junior students demonstrated just how much the diligence and commitment to their training had paid dividends, finishing in 3rd position. There were several outstanding performances on the day, with the highlight being our 12 Years 4 x 50m Freestyle Relay team (George Stewart, Max Sheppard, Gilby Lynch and Oliver Bowater) establishing a new College and GPS record in this event for the third consecutive year – a remarkable achievement by these young men.

Captains’ Corner | College Captain, Xavier Stiles

Last Saturday, I witnessed one of the proudest moments in my Terrace journey. I saw Terracian upon Terracian giving it their all as they competed at the 100th GPS Head of the River. To those who have never experienced the sport of Rowing, this sport is one of the most brutal sports both mentally and physically. With every stroke you take, your body is begging you to give up, give in, and catch your breath. The only aspect preventing you from giving in is the thought of letting down your crew. Many of you may not realise, but the Rowing community is a family like no other. Through the long hours of commitment at training, you dedicate this precious time to your crewmates. You may not realise this now, but these crewmates become your brothers for life. Across the board, every rower and Terrace supporter Dared to Go Beyond on Saturday at Wyaralong Dam.

Now I know you may be thinking, apart from the fitness aspect, what can you learn from rowing? Why do so many people enjoy the sport of rowing, considering the regular 4am wakeups? Although I didn’t compete this year, I dedicated four years to this great sport. Rowing taught me that you have three choices in life:

  1. You can give up,
  2. You can give in, or
  3. You can give it your all.

In everything you do, whether preparing for an exam, preparing for a debate or sporting game, you always have three choices. Be the person daring to exit the boundaries and make a difference in the world. Be the person willing to dedicate a few hours out of their weekend to support their mates. To the Terracians who have discovered that Terrace has a weekly newsletter, yes, I know, I only found this out as my Mum would ask me what I have learned from the week’s Captains’ Corner. So, for those students who are instructed to read these articles, you will benefit from the many life lessons from these weekly inclusions.

All the best to everyone for the upcoming exams and other assessments, but most importantly, give everything your all and Dare to Go Beyond.
