Our Headmaster, Dr Paul Browning, has been quoted on the priorities for education in 2022 in The Educator Australia.
The third episode in Season 2 of the Accelerating Change podcast is now live and you can listen to it now.
Join us for this episode of Accelerating Change where Professor Yong Zhao weighs in on the importance of creativity in education and how we should best prepare students for the future.
“I really hope that students can be treated as human beings when they come to school; that is, they have passion, intention, they are nurtured as learners, and they want to be creative – and schools ought to respect that. To understand that we don’t get students ready for the future, we get them ready to create the future.”

As you may recall, I have set myself the task of using these eNews articles to explain to parents the “Ways of Being” framework that we have developed at St Paul’s School. Ways of Being, in conjunction with Realms of Thinking, represents the ways in which we seek to deliver a holistic education.
At the heart of Ways of Being is a commitment to character education, worked out in the teaching of Virtues. The virtue I want to address this week, because I have been thinking and speaking about it a lot recently, is Respect. At St Paul’s School we describe respect this way –
 |
Treating other people – their feelings and time, as well as their property and beliefs – as though they have value; care for the environment and earth’s resources. |
As you know, we also try to help students understand our virtues by describing the associated vices. In this case, Respect does not look like this –
Lack of courtesy for teachers and peers; racism; sexist behaviour or ‘joking’; vandalism; wastefulness.
Sadly, a very small minority of students in the secondary school have not been acting respectfully in recent weeks. As you may have heard, there has been some graffiti and vandalism in some of the student toilet blocks. To make matters even worse, some of the graffiti took the form of crude homophobic and transphobic comments. It was necessary to close those amenities until the necessary cleaning and repairs could be made.
I can clearly recall hearing a wise headmaster in one of my previous schools tell the students, in a situation like this, “There are better ways to leave your mark on a school than writing your name on the back of a toilet door!”.
I really don’t want to become pre-occupied by negatives; I want to work with students on positive ways of personal growth and leadership development. We have great pathways for all students who really want to make their mark on the school and on the world. Just recently, for example, I have been really impressed by the extracurricular Music students who performed outstandingly at “Music in the Dark”. Another group who have really impressed me are the large group who volunteer their time and energy on a regular basis, in a variety of Service Learning opportunities, including the preparation of free lunches for disadvantaged students in other schools, as part of our “Eat Up” program.
I encourage you to have conversations about these things with your children around the meal table. Why not ask them – “How do you think you could leave your mark on St Paul’s School?”.

Parenting insights presents a webinar for parents on the do's and don'ts of discipline.
Attend a webinar for parents at no charge
Our school has a membership with Parenting Ideas, one of Australia’s most trusted sources of parenting education and support. As part of this membership, all the parents in this school community can attend some fantastic webinars in 2022 at no cost. We’re pleased to let you know about an upcoming webinar.
Encouraging good behaviour
Discipline is one of the most confusing and challenging topics that parents grapple with. When you look up the word discipline in the dictionary the first definition is “punishment”. But this is a relatively new way of understanding the word. Until a couple of hundred years ago, to be disciplined meant to be shown a way to follow.
This webinar, presented by Dr Justin Coulson is for every parent who has ever been so desperate to get their kids to ‘behave’ that they’ve tried Triple P, Super-Nanny, 1-2-3 Magic, and pretty much everything else out there, and still found themselves stuck. It explores the concept of discipline and how parents can encourage good behaviour in children.
Key learning and discussion points include:
· Why the centuries-old strategies we still cling to should be left in the past
· How we get discipline wrong and why
· Real world examples of discipline that are as imperfect as parents and their kids, but that still work
· Ideas for discipline that turn everything you thought you knew about the topic on its head
· Applicable strategies for everyone

Unfortunately, the mental health of young people has been significantly impacted by the pandemic. As many families settle back into pre-COVID routines, there seems to be a pervasive sense of optimism about what lies ahead.
Unfortunately children and teens are not immune to what is now being termed the “psychological pandemic”. Young people are at risk of not achieving the primary demands of developmental tasks such as procuring independence, identity formation, as well as obtaining and maintaining peer relationships. What kids need most in the current environment is support, understanding, empathy and encouragement from caring adults. They live up or down to the expectations we set for them.
If there is a panacea to the adversity caused by the pandemic, then it is the building of resilience. Resilience is the capacity to face, overcome, be strengthened and transformed by adversity. Never before, have parents needed the skills, the knowledge and the strategies to build resilience in their children as much as they do now. There are 7 integral and interrelated components that make up being resilient that can help young people thrive and develop healthy coping strategies.
This Special Report explores the “7 C’s of Resilience” and includes suggested strategies on how adult carers can best facilitate them. We hope you take a moment to reflect on the information offered, and as always, we welcome your feedback. If this raises any concerns for you, a loved one or the wellbeing of your child, please seek medical or professional help.
This week our Year 8s have started building their egg racers in Science.
Students have been tasked with designing and constructing a vehicle to transport an egg safely using principles of motion. They will be undertaking trial and error over the next few weeks to create a vehicle that will carry their egg further and faster than their peers – without breaking the egg.
Good luck, Year 8!
Year 7 student, James Kelly has started spending many lunchtimes polishing and shining student's shoes, charging a small fee of $2.00 a pair.
Quite a number of students have taken James up on his offer, there have even been a couple of House Leaders getting in on the action. James identified the business opportunity after recently finding the need to have his own shoes polished and shined. Well done, James!
Our Year 10 Food Technology students have hosted their very own Eat Street.
As part of Year 10 Food Technology, students completed a unit on ‘Introduction to Hospitality’. This semester, students went on an excursion to Eat Street to find a gap in their market. Their challenge was to design a new menu item suitable for diners with dietary needs, yet not available at Eat Street. Students displayed patience, perseverance, and resilience as they trialled their prototypes. Diligence and courage was demonstrated from the students as they collaborated to create resources required for a successful event such as marketing tools and standardised costing sheets. Starting this week, students will begin to focus on ‘Introduction to Food and Nutrition’ where they’ll have chance to experiment with food in different ways.
Our Year 8 Debating Team number 2 won their debate against St Ritas last Wednesday night.
Both teams have worked hard since the beginning of the year and have developed as close teams. Debating helps the students develop skills that help with school as well as helping develop their world views. Team 2 have won 2 out of 3 of their debates in the competition. Well done, Team 2!
Anya who is part of Team 2 has reflected on her experience:
What debating means to me
I participated in debating this year to express my views and learn life skills. Debating has certainly taught me that and so much more. I feel that my analytical and reasoning skills and confidence has developed greatly. Not only that, but I have developed amazing friendships in my time in St Paul’s Debating. Overall, debating is a fun and interesting activity that broadens your perspective and understanding of things. I would love to do debating again in Year 9!
Thank you for sharing, Anya!
This week our Year 7s have begun collecting and analysing water samples from the Pine river, located at the back of our campus.
Students have come up with their own hypotheses about the contributing factors influencing water quality in the river – including looking at the effects of the recent flooding by testing the alkalinity, sediment and chemical content of their samples. They are also taking a look at smaller organisms in the water samples through the microscopes to evaluate the health of our local riparian ecosystem.
This is a great opportunity for students to engage think conceptually, transferring their learning from Science into a meaningful context.
Our entrepreneur-in-residence, Mr Tim Hor, recently introduced Year 11 RaVE students to the concept of a Lean Business Canvas.
As part of a unit on Environmental Stewardship, the students are undertaking research into how St Paul’s School might further develop its ‘green’ credentials, to become an even better school and a more sustainable business. Ten teams of students are investigating different elements of school life that directly impact the environment – Energy; Water; Transport; Food & beverages; Responsible purchasing & Fair trade; Habitat for wildlife; Waste; Education & Advocacy. The Business Canvas is a tool which Mr Hor would usually be implementing with post-graduate students at QUT, and so this project is really giving these students a head-start.
This week, our Year 12 General Mathematics’ students were learning about Graph Theory by getting outside and experiencing it for themselves.
They tackled a problem known as “The Bridges of Königsberg” wherein a person must travel to four different regions of Königsberg by crossing seven bridges only once. Groups of students, working collaboratively used trial and error to formulate a path through the problem. It was wonderful to see students engage practically with these complex mathematical concepts. Once students realised that it wasn’t possible, we then trialled using only 6 bridges. Students were able to successfully navigate their way around Königsberg. Mathematician Leonhard Euler famously proved that it is was in fact impossible to do without removing one of the bridges. Way to go St Paul’s students !
A group of our Year 9 students took part in the annual Altitude Day Leadership Seminar last Wednesday. Altitude Day is an event run by Ylead and is targeted directly at Year 9 students. The day seeks to motivate the students who attend, to recognize the potential they have to become agents of positive change within their school communities. The day features motivational speakers and allows the students the opportunity to spend time and share experiences with students from other schools from around the Brisbane area.
Altitude Day is a wonderfully upbeat experience for all involved and this positive tone is reinforced through the guest speakers, who each have tremendous personal stories to share. These stories describe a willingness to overcome challenges and pursue big ideas, in order to create positive change in our world. Often these ideas start as very localized initiatives, however, through the persistence of the individual leading the change they can grow to national and international significance.
The standout speaker this year was Ben Pettingell, a young man who lost 98% of his sight at the age of sixteen. Rather than let this massive blow define his future, Ben has refused to be constrained by his situation and has taken on extreme activities such as water ski racing, Spartan 21 kilometre obstacle courses and hiking the Kokoda Track twice. He is a corporate, motivational speaker and his attitude to life is one that all young people could look to emulate. Ben looks at challenge as opportunity, and suggests, that young people should stop focusing on their problems, and become proactive in finding solutions for themselves. It was a powerful message of resilience and triumph over adversity.
There are many opportunities at St Paul’s for students to live out the message of Ben Pettingell. Through the Experiential Outdoor Education Program and the many Service-Learning initiatives the School offers, our young people have the opportunity to focus on personal growth through challenge. They are also able to experience working for the good of others, rather than constantly focusing on themselves. These are wonderful traits and life skills to carry forward into all aspects of their future pathways.
St Paul’s Early Learning Centre has been named as one of the top 20 ‘childcare’ centres in Queensland in a report from ‘KindiCare’!
The ranking is based on KindiCare aggregating government service quality audits, community feedback through KindiCare and Google reviews, and an evaluation of individual centres to provide each facility with a rating and a score out of 10.
St Paul’s achieved a ranking of 9.66 and an overall ranking of ‘Excellent’. Just 10% of Qld childcare centres scored an excellent while St Paul’s score of 9.66 placed it in the top 20 centres in the State.
Thank you to our incredible staff who put their absolute best into providing exceptional care and education for all our students!

Congratulations to Boek House who have won the Junior School Inter-House Cross Country carnival!
Many young people around the world participate in vacation activities in their regular school holidays. But usually, these don’t involve international travel!
St Paul’s has been hosting Study Tour groups for many years and have welcomed thousands of students to St Paul’s and Brisbane.
One of our first ever study tours
SPIS Study Tours and Vacation Programs are certainly a vacation activity with a difference. These programs provide opportunities for students to use and extend their English language skills. Living with an Australia family, socialising with local students, experiencing Australian school life and being immersed in Australian culture are priceless ways to see our global village in action, creating greater understanding and positive, lifelong memories.
There is a very flexible balance of ‘study’ and ‘tour’. It’s certainly not only about study. Students also experience the unique sights, sounds, tastes, natural landscapes, Aussie animals and a challenging range of outdoor activities in our beautiful part of the world. These include: golf lessons and Indigenous Culture presentations at SPS, feeding kangaroos and holding koalas at Australia Zoo, BBQs, rainforest walks and milking cows at Maleny, sand tobogganing, snorkeling and feeding dolphins at Tangalooma, canoeing or surfing in our local rivers and beaches, outdoor adventure challenges at Currumbin as well as visiting art galleries, historical centres and theme parks. Of course, there is always time for shopping!
Many study tours regularly visit St Paul’s School from overseas schools and vacation program students can be individuals or groups who book privately.
We welcome short term students from countries all over the world including Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, China, The Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Argentina, Germany, Italy, France, Spain and the USA.
The northern hemisphere summer holiday period from June to September is the peak study tour and vacation program time. We greatly appreciate the assistance of all our Homestay providers. During these months we certainly welcome additional Homestay Family providers. Study Tours and short term Vacation Programs are an ideal way to experience what it is like to be a homestay provider. If that is something you would be interested in doing, please contact our Homestay Coordinator, Mrs Sharon Sutherland – [email protected]
We're looking for Homestay families to host an international student at St Paul's School.

We are delighted to invite all students in Prep to Year 9 to join in the 2022 Premier’s Reading Challenge.
Reading plays an important part in students’ lives during their school years and beyond. It allows children to actively engage their imagination and opens a world of educational opportunities.
The reading period for the 2022 Premier’s Reading Challenge commences on Monday 9 May and closes Friday 26 August.
This year the Premier has invited all state and non-state school students to take on the challenge:
Experiencing books can include shared reading, listening to stories, or reading picture books. The aim for the 2022 challenge is to engage more students reading more books than ever before.
As your child completes reading a book, please ensure that the book is recorded on their ‘School Reader Record Form’. Once they have completed the assigned number of books, please return it to their respective school libraries. Every student who completes the challenge will receive a Certificate of Achievement signed by the Premier. School record forms should be returned to the Library before Thursday, 1 September.
Your child can record any age appropriate book. They do not have to be school library books.
The following activities can be counted towards the challenge:
The following literature forms can be counted towards the challenge:

The Bald Hills State School reading program commenced in the fifth week of this term and will continue each Tuesday afternoon after school for the remainder of terms two and three.
The program is as it has been in the past despite the late start and involves St Paul’s students mentoring Bald Hills State School students one on one with reading. Each session runs for just on thirty minutes, and our St Paul’s students either read to their Bald Hills buddies or listen while their buddies read to them.
Our St Paul’s students volunteer for the program and their contribution as mentors is very important. Giving up a small amount of time each week to support the Bald Hills students has a major influence on these young students, and how they see reading. Working with students who are older and who value reading, instils in these impressionable, young learners the importance of reading and reading’s influence on their ongoing learning. It is also a great way for our students to learn how to interact with these little people in a positive and nurturing way.
At present we have around fifteen students registered as reading mentors, however, there is space for more, so if students are interested, they can register to take part with Mrs Farmer or Mr Howes in the Wellbeing Centre. Students who take part must complete a permission form and return it to the Wellbeing Centre before they can begin as reading mentors. See Mr Howes or Miss Marsh in the Wellbeing Centre for a form if you are interested in joining the program, or email the Service Learning Captains, Olivia Grant and Jasmine Wong.
Our second Eat Up working bee of the year took place last Tuesday. Eat Up is a Service Learning Program which involves preparing lunches for both Humpybong State School and Bald Hills State School. These two schools provide the lunches to students who may not get lunch prepared for them due to difficult family circumstances. The lunches provided ensure the students who get them stay focused and concentrating throughout the day.
We always have a tremendous response to helping out on these days from our students, and last week was no exception. We had Service Learning volunteers, but also helpers from Mitre and Gladius Houses. Mitre and Gladius have come on board to help sponsor this program through the helping hands of House members, and also financial assistance through House gold coin collections to keep the program going.
Last week’s lunchtime working bee was highly productive with over 150 lunch packs prepared. The schools who benefit from this program are always extremely grateful for our support, however, our students get a lot out of simply giving up their time, working collaboratively with their peers and getting to a great outcome. Well done, to all those students who helped out on the day.
If your details have changed over the school holidays, please log into Parent Lounge to make necessary amendments.
It is vital that all contact details remain up to date so that we can contact you as necessary and continue providing your family with relevant information via email, phone and post.
Did you know you can report your child’s absence from School via Parent Lounge?
As of last term, parents/guardians can report their child’s absence from school via parent lounge. An email detailing the process will be sent to you in the coming days.
If you have forgotten your Parent Lounge password, you can reset this yourself via the Parent Lounge login screen. If you have forgotten your Parent Lounge username, please contact the School’s reception.
This change is another improvement in the School’s approach towards child protection as it adds a level of security and authentication to child absences from school. If you have any questions please contact the Risk and Compliance Officer, Mark Barratt ([email protected]).
Please note, if your child will be absent for three days or longer email your child’s House Leader.

Greetings to all from The St Paul's School Supporters' Association (The Association) or more commonly referred to these days as SPSSA.
The majority of Queensland schools have a P&C organisation run by parents who work in various ways to provide services and support to students. At St Paul’s that group is called The Association and is made up of the presidents of each extracurricular Supporter Groups. An information booklet for all of our supporter groups is available from the Tooth reception. New families to the school would have received one in their welcome packs.
In addition, Supporter Groups offer more direct, hands-on opportunities for parents to support students in their sporting, cultural and music endeavours. The Junior School Supporters’ Group concentrates on activities undertaken by the youngest members of our school.
The Association encourages families of students to get involved in a supporters group as a way to meet new families, have fun, learn about and be part of the thriving St Paul’s School community. Your children will appreciate your involvement, even if they don’t always say so. Supporter Groups exist for Cadets, Cricket, Football, Hockey, Junior School (including Swimming), Music, Netball, Rugby, Parent Connections, Past Students (Alumni), Tennis, Touch Football and Volleyball. See the school calendar (available in Parent Lounge) for details of individual supporter group events and meetings.
We look forward to welcoming you to the St Paul’s School community and all parents are welcome to attend Association meetings which are held on the 4th Tuesday monthly. The next meeting is the 26th July at 6:30pm in the Tooth Lounge.
