Making mistakes is what human beings do. It’s how we learn firsthand, that you don’t touch something that’s hot or sharp. While there are lessons young people can learn from theory that keeps them out of harm’s way, there are many things in life that need to be experienced in order to fully understand, appreciate or embody the learnings that we need to grow and thrive.

For example, understanding challenging situations that emotionally or physically require us to overcome something, involves much more of us than knowledge or intervention by a third party.

Some of our greatest challenges can be defining moments in our lives, causing us to problem solve, as we identify solutions and processes that will help us to manage a situation better the next time we encounter it.

Now I am not talking about leaving our young people in molten hot volcanic style muddiness that comes from highly toxic harmful situations where a person may never recover if left to their own devices, nor am I suggesting that quicksand style situation where if you didn’t intervene someone may be lost for ever, are okay either. I am talking about the mud and dirt that we find ourselves in that is messy, feels uncomfortable, smells and might even be deep and challenging to get out of, but it will not suck us under or burn us irreparably. It is simply life and there are lessons that if we learn them as we try to get out of the mud, they will move with us as we grow and engage with the inevitable challenges of adulthood.

Enabling Ownership

One of the hardest things for contemporary parents to do is to let their child sit in discomfort. Everything in us wants to fix, to overcome and to create safe passage for our child. We also often forget the importance of the “Village”, as we race into the circumstances salvaging a young person’s emotional wellbeing (or so we think) by not allowing them to be challenged or reprimanded by the village (school, workplace, club), that we have chosen for them to grow within.

Our desire as parents to shield, deflect and excuse can render our young people voiceless, giving them a way out without taking responsibility. When young people are unable to take responsibility, they fail to develop the emotional and practical coping mechanisms that can be called on when they engage inevitably with challenge again. An inability to access transferable skills and coping mechanisms amid challenge can increase anxiety and impact the capacity for independence.

A young person who is giving the opportunity for personal ownership, who has to problem solve whilst in the mud develops a bank of skills and strategies that will assist them in their becoming.

Valuing Courage

When we as parents and teachers don’t immediately solve the problem on a young person’s behalf we encourage them to take a risk and engage with COURAGE. We are able to become the coach on the side or even better the ‘sag wagon’ that follows up behind keeping an eye on the race they are running ahead of us. We can speak into this space with encouragement and be available to support, but we don’t need to craft the strategy or enact the process, they do. Being able to own our issues and engage in difficulties with courage, sees young people become determined in the face of adversity.

Of course, how much we let a young person sit in the muddiness of challenge can depend on their age and stage in life. For instance, my 2-year-old grandson climbing the ladder of his cubbyhouse still requires a closely monitored approach. His courage, whilst strong, can be upset by inevitable slips and falls, after a little bit of catching and coaching he has been able to traverse this himself. The excitement and achievement is real as he learns about courage, risk and capacity. As he gets older and has to step into life’s challenges, I hope he will bring with him skills that help him measure risk, consider his capacity and find courage.

Growing young people who can pull themselves out of life’s muddiness by building essential transferrable skills and emerge as young people with AGENCY is what we most desire as parents and educators.

Every Blessing.

Thank you to the many families who are respecting the new arrangements for both car parks since the commencement of the Building program. On Friday 20 August, we hosted another meeting of representatives from MBRC and Department of Main Roads and as a result, the duration of the green lights at both College Street and Foundation Street have been extended further. We have already seen a marked improvement in afternoon congestion this week.

Night Owl Car Park

Unfortunately, the congestion around the roundabout in College Street is being exacerbated by the traffic exiting the Night Owl car park in the afternoons. TLC parents using this car park are making departure time for the parents using the correct TLC car parks even longer. All parents are requested to use the TLC car parks rather than the car park in the Night Owl. Last week, a car was seen going the wrong way around the roundabout to escape the congestion. This is dangerous and illegal. Please help us to work together to find a solution that is helpful to everyone.

Early Learning Centre Car Parks

We have always felt very fortunate to have two great ELCs in close proximity to TLC and have prided ourselves on the very positive partnerships we have with both. To ensure this continues, TLC parents are asked to refrain from parking in the Expeditions or Good Start Early Learning Centre car parks.

COVID Update

I hope everyone has been enjoying some extra freedoms these past few days, however, just a reminder that schools still have a number of restrictions, especially around the wearing of face masks. Please continue to adhere to the CHO directives while on campus until 4:00pm Friday 10 September:

Face Masks

• All staff will be required to wear a face mask at all times while at school, including when teaching. Face shields are permitted for teachers, but not for students or other school staff.
• Secondary students over the age of 12 years (or in Year 7 and above) must always wear face masks, except when eating/drinking. Students cannot wear face shields.
• Students and staff must be seated when eating and drinking and are not permitted to be eating or drinking while walking around the campus at any time.
• Secondary students must wear face masks when travelling on the school bus.
• All adults, including volunteers, family members, contractors and other visitors are required to wear a face mask at all times while on school grounds.
• Masks are to be worn by students even when they can socially distance.
• Primary School students under the age of 12, may wear a face mask but this is optional.
• Masks do not need to be worn in outdoor spaces when doing vigorous exercise.
• Masks do not need to be worn by any staff member or student who has an exemption (medical or other).

Check In

• All visitors on campus must check in using the QLD Govt QR code each time they enter the campus AND must also sign in at either the Primary Office or Main Administration AND wear the appropriate visitor badge always whilst on campus.

Maintain Physical Distancing

• Parents/Carers must maintain physical distancing at drop off and pick up, outside classrooms etc.
• Refrain from shaking hands or hugging to greet others.

At the start of this term, I sent all of our students the following image. To the best of my knowledge, it was designed by Tim Urban, master procrastinator and lead author of the website Wait, but Why.

(Tim Urban, 2021)

I challenged the students to think about all of the life paths that remain open to them – the big green tree in the image. It’s much easier said than done because we humans tend to fixate on the past. We are more inclined to look to a past poor choice to explain a result rather than look forward to making a better choice in the future. We tend to focus on blaming someone or something that happened as the cause of a current crisis rather than looking to learn from the crisis and carry the lessons from it into the future. We have a propensity to look back and overanalyse things that are done rather than look ahead and think of all the things that can still be.

Starting a day by looking ahead rather than behind changes everything. It reminds us that our life is still unwritten, that good habits have time left to pay dividends, that there is more in you than you thought possible, that there is so much life left in our lives. I find it hard not to look at the image of the big green tree and be optimistic – to see potential in everything and everyone.

Mr Stanley has been talking to our Year 10 students about setting their sights on something of interest and working towards it, encouraging them to focus more on moving in the right direction and less on the outcome. When I hear him speak, I imagine him standing on the ‘today’ line in the image above and encouraging his students to look ahead, not behind. But it’s not just Mr Stanley – when I really listen to the lessons our teachers are trying to impart on our students, I hear the same recurring theme; focus on what you can be.

As our students stand on the threshold of exams and assessment, they are really standing on the threshold of something bigger – they are at the base of the big green tree.

Mock Examinations

As Mr Ridout recently communicated, in Weeks 9 and 10 (6-17 September), Year 11 and 12 students will commence their mock examination block. Year 11 and 12 students will not be required on campus during these weeks. Whilst these exams will be trial or practice exams for our Year 12 students, for our Year 11 students results from these exams will be included in Semester 2 Reports and will contribute to the overall calculation for Academic Awards.

Please find the mock examination timetable here.

Foundation Day Awardees

It was an honour to announce our 2021 Foundation Day Awardees at our special assembly last week. Congratulations to the following Secondary students who are worthy recipients of this prestigious award:

• Luke W - click here to read why Luke received this award
• Meng Qi W - click here to read why Meng Qi received this award

A More Self Accepting Life

I enjoy reading the work of Alain de Botton a lot. He recently wrote a piece for the School of Life about being more self-accepting so that we might drown out the inner critic that we all have. I thought I would share this with you so that you may help your teen to become more self-loving.

Inner critic: You’re a disgrace.

Self-loving reply: Of course: I have failed, I have got things wrong, I have been impatient, I have been immature and hare-brained. I know this inside out. But there are limits to how mesmerised one should remain by this appalling insight. I have better things to do than to jump at its mention every time like a soldier to a bugle. I refuse to devote the remainder of my days to a rehearsal of all the particulars of my own unworthiness.

Inner critic: You’ve made some bad mistakes.

Self-loving reply: As we all have. We are all born blind; we stumble in the darkness. We bring our good intentions to bear on the confusing reality of life and give birth to catastrophes. We have been sinners since Adam and Eve. I may be bad, but I am not alone.

Inner critic: Look at all those other, amazing people who do better than you.

Self-loving reply: I have no further interest in comparing my life to theirs. I can’t tell what they may be going through inside or what fate could have in store for them. I can only own my own story, with its particular mixture of pain and arduousness. I have done the best I could, within the limited confines of my understanding and with the awkwardness of the cards I was dealt.

Inner critic: You have wasted so much time.

Self-loving reply: To which the only answer is love: love what remains of our days, love charity, self-forgiveness, mercy, modesty, acceptance, appreciation and gratitude.

Progress will be slow, some days it will seem as though we have learnt nothing at all, but broadly we will be on our way. There are always more fruitful options than to tear ourselves apart.

Community Conversations

We are pleased to be able to invite our community back on campus to participate in the Community Conversations.

• Year 9 Community Conversations - Tuesday 7 September

If I Could Tell You Just One Thing

As you know, with each Tidings, I end by sharing with you advice from Richard Reed’s If I Could Tell You Just One Thing. In the book, Reed collates the most valuable pieces of wisdom learned by some of the world’s most remarkable people. In sharing this advice with you, I hope you may find words of comfort, motivation and reflection.

Take care and have a great fortnight.

Last week, I wrote to our Primary Dads explaining the difficult decision of moving our Fathers’ Day Breakfast to the last day of term. The main purpose of this shift was in the hope that some of the COVID-restrictions for schools would be eased in time, allowing us to fully embrace the day and put on an open-air breakfast, sporting activities (which is pretty difficult when wearing a mask) and parent classroom visits (which, at the time of writing, is not permitted). The change of date also allows us to include our Year 6 Dads, as Year 6 students are on camp this week. Many of these Dads are experiencing their last Primary School Fathers’ Day celebration so dust off your runners and wear something comfortable. With our fingers tightly crossed, we look forward to welcoming you on campus for a special last day of term. Please click on the links below for further information:

• Fathers' Day Breakfast Invitation
• Correspondence regarding date change
• Father's Day Stall - Thursday 2 September

The Primary Student Council have arranged for Primary School students to wear ‘free dress’ on the last day of term. Prep-Year 6 students are asked to bring in a gold coin donation which will go to the ‘Solar Buddy’ program which our school is supporting through Primary Chapel. Click on the following link for information about the Solar Buddy Program. Detailed information will be sent in this week's Communication Day email.

Also, on the final day, due to the COVID-cancellation of the Student Council Disco last month, we have scheduled each Primary School year level to have a special 30 minute ‘Daytime Disco’ in the Main Hall. This action-packed day is a great way for our community to celebrate the last day of Term 3.

Procedure for Extended Absence

Families are reminded that our process for the application of extended leave of absence during term time is explicitly explained in the Parent Handbook (p.7). The Parent Handbook can be found in the Documents section of SEQTA Engage.

Every day of teaching and learning is crucial. If a student takes an extended leave of absence it is likely that their education will be compromised and, in some cases, so is our opportunity to assess and report on their progress. Parents seeking to access extended leave are reminded that permission is needed from the Principal. Families must apply in writing to the Principal, through the Head of Primary, in advance.

Good Punctuality Matters

As highlighted in my last Tidings article, I ask every family to please prioritise their child’s punctuality in the mornings. For Prep and Year 1 parents and carers, we ask that you arrive no later than 8:10am. For our families in Years 2-6 we need your child here before 8:25am, every day. Every child who arrives later than these times in some way disrupts the teacher, or the rest of the class. Please show respect for the learning of other students at TLC by trying your best to be on time every day.

Staff Days

The College has two calendared Pupil Free days in the coming weeks:

• Friday 3 September (this Friday)
• Friday 17 September

So, what do teachers and support staff do on these days? I can assure everyone, whilst the intensity of the day is very different without the students being present, our staff work incredibly hard and purposefully on these days. Our upcoming staff tasks include: an audit and review of English and Maths programs and teaching methods, pre-assessment moderation and preparation, training in classroom behaviour management, Youth Mental Health First Aid Training, College pedagogy coaching, Term 4 planning, resourcing and preparation, class allocations for 2022, camp and excursion preparation and wellbeing committee meetings. The College’s commitment to the growth and development of its staff is more prominent than any other school I have worked in.

Foundation Day Awards

As the Deputy Head of Primary since 2013, many parents often refer to communication with me as a ‘bad sign’. Occasionally, I do need to contact families regarding challenging situations involving their children. Last week, I had the pleasure of doing something immensely positive.

In Mrs Curtis’ absence, I was afforded the opportunity to write the citations and deliver the speeches for our Foundation Day Awards for Primary students, in celebration of the College’s 17^th birthday. Sharing this experience with their families goes down as one of the highlights of my time at the College. On Wednesday 25 August I had the pleasure of announcing the following students as Foundation Day Award recipients:

• Primary Girl: Ella M Year 5 - click here to read why Ella received this award
• Primary Boy: John B Year 6 - click here to read why John received this award

The Foundation Day Award is possibly the highest accolade a student can achieve in their time at TLC. Their names will be forever engraved on the Foundation Day Board in our Main Administration Building for the entire life of the College – possibly for hundreds of years.

Further details on the Foundation Day Award can be found in the Parent Handbook (p.36).

Year 5 Leadership

This week, I will be speaking with the Year 5 cohort about the journey they need to undertake to apply for Primary School Leadership positions for 2022. Every single student in Year 6 is a leader and role model. Some of these students will be elected by their peers and staff to represent the College in the more formal positions of Primary School Captains, Student Council President, House Captains, Chapel Leaders, Music Leaders and Library Leaders.

Year 5 students will be able to take home leadership applications in Week 10, to be completed over the holidays, with a deadline for submittal in Term 4, Week 1.

Sergeant Steve

Our Adopt-A-Cop, Sergeant Steve Barber, made his annual Primary class visits last week. All students, from Prep to Year 6, were engaged in presentations regarding topics such as stranger danger, cyber safety, ‘a day in the life of a police officer’ and unsafe behaviours. Is there a more noble profession than serving the people in the role of a Police Officer? As a community, it is so important that we create a positive image of our police with our children.

Year 6 Camp Reminder

The Year 6 Camp went ahead this week, to the relief of students, staff and parents. For the past two years, our students have missed out on the opportunity to attend the Canberra Immersion Experience. This year they are based in Hervey Bay, exploring Queensland's history and culture as well as visiting Fraser Island and enjoying the magic of whale watching. I’d like to publicly thank Mrs McInnes, Year 6 Coordinator, and the other members of the Year 6 Team, Mrs Smith and Mrs Beauchamp, for the effort, patience and flexibility in their approach to providing their students with an amazing experience.

Here are the latest dates for the remaining Primary Camps:

• Year 3 Camp – Tues 5 October to Wed 6 October
• Year 4 Camp – Wed 10 November to Fri 12 November
• Year 5 Camp – Tues 9 November to Fri 12 November

Our Year Level Coordinators are your first point-of-contact for any camp related questions.

A change in School Bell Music - Update

As reported in the previous editions of Tidings, the current school bell music is being changed and here is an update on the process.

Primary students, led by the Student Council, conducted a student vote of three song clips, which included:

• Never Gonna Give You Up (Rick Astley, 1987)
• We Will Rock You (Queen, 1977)
• Cover Me in Sunshine (Pink, 2021)

So which song won? Keep your ears open for the winning song.

Secondary School students will undertake a similar process to choose school bell music for Term 4. In 2022, we will trial the removal of the school bell music during lesson times. This music will still be played at the start and end of school, as well as break times.

Car Park Issues

A special ‘thank you’ goes out to those Prep and Year 1 families who have embraced the earlier start times that we have implemented due to construction works. Hopefully, they are enjoying a less intense car park experience by leaving at 2:45pm. Community feedback has been largely positive in the first week of this trial. To further ease congestion, Year 5-6 parents are reminded to arrive after 3:10pm, as these students have the furthest to walk in the Primary campus and rarely arrive before 3:05pm.

On Friday 20 August, I attended a meeting with MBRC and Queensland Main Roads to continue a review of some of our car park challenges. From this meeting, it was agreed that there would be an increase in timings of green lights into and out of the College from both Foundation Street and College Street, between 2:30pm-3:30pm each weekday afternoon. The authorities are committed to working with the College to improve the traffic flow situation but noted that our community must be aware that traffic congestion between 15-20 minutes is normal in and around school start and finish times.

Disabled Parking

It has been brought to the College’s attention that cars have been parking in disabled spots without the necessary badge on display. Please be mindful to clearly display your badge if you have one, or refrain from using these spots in future.

Community Conversations

We are pleased to be able to invite our community back on campus to participate in the Community Conversations.

• Year 5 Community Conversations - Thursday 9 September
• Year 1 Community Conversations - Thursday 14 October
• Year 2 Community Conversations - Thursday 28 October

NAPLAN results are currently being distributed to schools via the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) and Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) NAPLAN portals. This data comes in various forms and is used by the academic teaching staff, when analysed, for individualised planning for students and also to guide our whole school teaching and learning programs. Mrs Katerina Tilley (Dean of Studies 7-9), Mrs Olivia Schafferius (Head of Teaching and Learning Primary) and Mr Geoff Elliott (Director of Data & Strategy) will be leading the analysis and review of the NAPLAN data, as is it received, across the coming months.

Individual student reports (ISRs) are expected to be received by the school from late August to early September. This process involves the QCAA posting hard copies of ISRs (one printed ISR for each student) to the school and then the school is responsible for distributing these to parents and carers. At TLC, we will be posting these to Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 families shortly after they are received by the school.

Any enquiries regarding NAPLAN results can be directed to:

• For Years 7 & 9 - Mrs Katerina Tilley (Dean of Studies 7-9) ktilley@thelakes.qld.edu.au
• For Years 3 & 5 - Mrs Olivia Schafferius (Head of Teaching and Learning Primary) oschafferius@thelakes.qld.edu.au or the class teacher.

Our Year 7 and 8 students have been involved in subject selection talks with myself and the Heads of Faculties for electives subjects over the past two weeks. Students are now aware of the process, and the elective subjects that they can choose from. Mrs Crane will send out further information regarding this subject selection process over the next few weeks. Please remember that Junior Secondary is the time for students to not only experience success in their learning, but we also want students to elect subjects that they will find engaging. A few conversations that you can have at home include:

• Which elective subjects do you currently study?
• Do you like these electives?
• Do you want to try out some new subjects?

Students will study their elective subjects for all of 2022. There are some opportunities at the end of Semester 1 for students to change their electives, but places in other subjects are not always guaranteed.

$20 Boss – Business Studies

It’s been an absolute pleasure to walk through The Lakes College and observe our young people in action, trading their goods and services. Through entrepreneurship, students build a better work ethic, an appreciation for money, and creative thinking skills. Nothing beats seeing the smiles on students’ faces when they serve their customers, experiencing teenagers hunting you down at lunch time or before school to discuss new products or services that they want to trial, and best of all is hearing other staff talk about their positive experience when they got their shoes shined or their car washed from one of the businesses.

When is the final day of trading?

This Wednesday at lunch time will be the final day of trading for our $20 Boss Students in Years 8 and 9.

What will happen with all of the money that businesses made?

Each student will pay back $21 to the $20 Boss Company, and following this, 50% of the profits made will be going towards the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors, and the remaining money will be split amongst the group members.

Year 8 Shark Tank - $20 Boss

On Monday 13 September, our Year 8 students will participate in a Shark Tank scenario, as part of their assessment program. We have a panel of ‘sharks’ (otherwise known as Business experts) who will form a panel and listen to each $20 Boss group’s business pitch. Groups will have 2 minutes to pitch their business, followed by a 2 minute Q&A segment (led by the Sharks). Who will the Sharks deem to be the most successful Year 8 Business? If they had a lazy $500k, who would they invest in? The winning business will be announced at the end of the term.

Book Week is one of the most important weeks of the year for us in the Library, as it brings into the spotlight the importance of reading and books. It also allows us to promote some amazing authors and new books.

This year we found several ways to celebrate our love of literature. Our Year 4 & 6 students enjoyed a performance from Perform Education which highlighted some of this year’s shortlisted books, with music and dance. Our lunchtime activities ranged from badgemaking to card games, from treasure hunts to picnics. Our Book Fair did a roaring trade with the purchase of many books.

The Book Week Character Parade is such a highlight for many of our students, and we know that much thought and effort goes into the costumes for the Parade. We loved seeing the end results on both Thursday and Friday, with colourful, creative and original dress ups on display. There were superheroes, dinosaurs and dragons. We saw characters from our favourite fairy tales, picture books, Japanese anime and classic novels. We were so impressed with the creativity and hard work displayed and we would like to thank both the students and their helpful and patient parents and helpers for their efforts.

Only twelve months until next Book Week!
