Creating Our Preferred Reality

At last week’s Assembly, I spoke to the students about a term used within Psychology – Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. To explain, there are two types of self-fulfilling prophecies: self and other-imposed. We are all confronted by situations in our lives that could see these prophecies interfere with who we really are and what could be our true capabilities.

With self-imposed, the way that we talk about ourselves can lead to the reality we create. If we talk negatively about our abilities, then we will likely reach a point where that is how it will be. For example, if a student were to say, “I am not good at Math,” then it is likely the student will struggle with being successful in this subject. Other behaviours may also appear to subconsciously or consciously get in the way of ever being successful, such as not completing study, avoiding the tasks set in class or, through procrastination, leaving the assignment until the very last minute. There are numerous other examples that could be offered and not all related to school.

An example of ‘other imposed’ could inadvertently be happening when we speak with our own children. Speaking in front of an audience is a challenge for many people. However, it is an important life-skill, one that could be developed when at school. As a parent, if your child hears you saying to them, “You’ve always struggled with speaking in front of the class,” this could indeed become their reality.

The language of Growth Mindset is a way in which we can be more aware of how we speak, altering ‘fixed’ or negative comments to become ways of thinking and acting that are open to possibility. Just as ‘self-fulfilling prophecies’ can result in a negative reality; they can also result in very positive outcomes.

I believe that all of our students are capable, and that success is relative – we don’t all have to get ‘As’ to be considered a successful or hardworking student. Persistence and effort will allow these capabilities to become reality, if we let them. As teachers and parents, being mindful of our language and challenging that of our children is essential.

😁 Yes, I did it!

😊 I will do it

😊 I can do it

😏 I’ll try to do it

🤔 How do I do it?

😮 I want to do it

😖 I can’t do it

😬 I won’t do it

I love Chisholm Catholic College. I believe that we have an awesome school with many fantastic students and staff. The opportunities we provide in and outside of the classroom are extensive. When students fully engage in their learning, great things happen; when we support each other through words and actions, belonging is attained; and, when we wear the uniform with pride, we present as a strong community. It frustrates me when I hear students say that, “we suck,” or “school sucks.” This too could be an example of self and other-imposed ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. It doesn’t have to be the reality.

Term Holidays – Time to Take Stock

We have come to the end of Term 2. The upcoming break serves as an opportunity to catch our breath and prepare for the next stage of learning.

Semester 1 Reports will be available shortly, providing a formal statement on effort and performance. In Year 11, it will be based on Unit 1; for Year 12, their first Internal Assessment (IA1). In reading through the Report, I would ask that time be taken to consider my previous comments. This is particularly important when setting goals for next Term. It is fair to say that for students in Years 7 to 10, it is an opportunity to reset and commit to doing their best possible. Create the reality they want.

We have teams involved in multiple sporting events during the break. I wish our teams every success in the Queensland Independent Secondary Schools Netball (QISSN), Queensland Independent Secondary Schools Rugby League (QISSRL) and Gold Coast Invitational Basketball Carnivals. These are some of the strongest competitions in Queensland – with teams participating from across the State. Many months of training will be seen by all who get along to spectate; don’t forget to cheer them on!

I look forward to seeing everyone return in a couple of weeks, ready for Term 3.

God bless,

Mr Bottaccio

BCE Listens Survey - Postponed

In the last newsletter we communicated that our College would be taking part in the Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) Listens Survey during Term 3. Following significant consultation, BCE has decided to postpone the survey until early 2022 to provide our College and other schools adequate time to thoroughly respond to the findings from the 2020 survey and to align better with the planning cycle of our College.

Your feedback about our College remains important. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments and continue to connect with your child or children’s teachers to support their learning and wellbeing.

Calendar Changes

There will be some calendar changes for next Term. To mitigate some of the lost lessons on Thursdays for SECA, Lockdown and Cross Country we are going to run our Thursday timetable on Wednesday in Weeks 3 and 4. That is; Wednesday, 28th July will run on a Thursday A Timetable and Wednesday, 4th August will run on a Thursday B timetable. The Scholars Assembly for Semester 1 will now be on Wednesday, 28th July. Students who are receiving awards will receive an invitation early next term.

Reporting

A reminder that reports for Years 7-9 and 11-12 will be uploaded to the Parent Portal early next week. You will receive notification when the reports have been uploaded. A Chisholm Plus+ update will also be sent at this time. Year 10 reports will be uploaded in Week 2 of next term.

Year 12 Retreat

Our Year 12 students have returned home after a fun-filled, spiritually-inspiring Retreat held at Coolum Beach earlier this week. They spent time reflecting upon their life journey and the significant people in their life, creating a journal, writing affirmations, creating works of art, producing an icon to give to someone in their life, and participating in outdoor activities.

A significant part of the Retreat was the liturgies that enabled the students to experience the sacred.

It has been very touching to experience the gratitude and energy of the Year 12 students for the opportunity to bond together as a cohort and reflect on their journey.

My thanks to Mrs Ibell, Miss Goldsworthy, Mrs Nielsen, Mr Glennon, Ms Scott, Mrs Klein, Mrs Pollock, Mr Stevens, Miss Newell and Mr Bottaccio who joined me on the Retreat, running sessions and activities. Their generosity was most appreciated, and I am sure that the Year 12 students valued their time, effort and wisdom.

I hope you enjoy the photos of the retreat.

Enjoy a restful holiday break.

God Bless

Reconciliation Week

During Reconciliation week this year, held from 27th of May to 3rd of June, our school worked in the spirit of togetherness with the theme for 2021 ‘More than a word. Reconciliation takes action’.

This year in the Library we had a Reconciliation display. This included an activity in which we all created a tree made from hands where students were able to draw or write what reconciliation meant to them. The tree represents growing together.

We had a great turnout of students and teachers joining in to create the tree of Reconciliation, as we sat and reflected on Reconciliation in our country.

Assistant Principal - Curriculum News

Semester One, 2021 is nearly complete! It has been another jam-packed term with SECA, musical practices and many more sporting and academic events happening around the college. The senior school is certainly ticking along and we are all adjusting to how senior now works. I have been looking through various results across year levels and with reports coming out soon, think it is timely for students to evaluate performance, especially with subject selections for 2022 occurring in Term Three.

Questions that are appropriate;

• What worked?

• What has not worked so far?

• How will you change it for Semester Two?

Term 3 will continue to have a lot going on. Subject selection will happen for Years 7-10 with a career’s expo on Tuesday of Week 2 for Years 10-12. A reminder that the career’s expo will be on at 3-5pm with a chance for parents to speak to stall holders.

In the meantime, enjoy the break and the opportunity to have some family time and safe travels to anyone who going away.

Study Fit #3 – Setting Goals

There are several key reasons to set goals:

They make it easier to identify and reach important milestones.
They help students to meet deadlines.
They keep students accountable. When they set a goal, they’re making a commitment to themselves, checking their progress along the way.

Research supports the value of ISMART goals which are Inspiring, Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-specific.

Be inspired. Goals that are intrinsically motivating are more likely to encourage follow through. They have to mean something to the student, otherwise there may not be the visible commitment needed to reach the goal.
Make the goals specific. The more specific a goal is, the easier it will be to focus on it and take the necessary action to accomplish it. For example, a goal such as “I will study more” is rather vague. “I will study every day between 4 and 5:00pm” is specific and provides an actionable plan.
Set measurable goals. “I’ll do better in Math,” is not really measurable. If a goal is set to study a certain number of hours for Math or to achieve a C+ in Maths it is more concrete to aim for.
Keep goals attainable and realistic. If goals are overly ambitious, the end result is that it may set students up for failure. For example, if two hours per week is currently allocated to studying, a goal of studying for 10 hours per week is probably not realistic. Increasing it to 3 or 4 hours now may result in greater success.
Time-specific. Goals work best when they can be ‘checked off’ within a time frame. Having both long-term and short-term goals are ideal. A long-term goal might be to get into a course at University or attain a grade-level within a subject. Short-term goals may be 4-6 weeks in length. For example, “I will study every day between 4 and 5:00pm” may be a 5-week goal (halfway through the Term).

To get the best out of setting Goals, they need to be reviewed regularly and updated accordingly.

Finally, make them visible. Place them on the fridge or on the wall where study occurs – this serves as a reminder – maintaining focus and commitment.

WOW - Week of Wellness

You will read below the wonderful engagement and activities offered to our community in our Week of Wellness. I would like to acknowledge the participation of our students and thank particularly, Ms Charlotte Goldsworthy (Teacher) and Talia Low (Student Support Committee Captain) for their leadership and organisation of the week. The Student Leaders’ contributions, energy and time were greatly appreciated also.

Unexplained Absences from school

Chisholm Catholic College is expected to account for all student absences and as such, we require our parents/legal guardians to ensure that all absences are entered via the Parent Portal or BCE Connect App. We understand that this may be forgotten from time to time and for this reason an SMS is sent on the morning of a student’s absence. We ask please that our parents/legal guardians’ action this by contacting the College to explain the absence or entering the reasons via the Parent Portal/BCE Connect App.

Next Term, our Teachers will be required to phone parents to follow up on unexplained absences. We ask please that our parents are proactive and ensure absence notifications are entered. This will save our Teachers valuable time for sometimes avoidable follow up.

SchoolTV

As we enter the holiday period, many students (and their parents for that matter) will be hoping and planning to spend time with friends. I offer you this SchoolTV report about Friendship which can assist parents and carers in supporting their young person’s friendship, so they experience a sense of belonging.

Happy Holidays

I wish all of our families a restful two weeks and look forward to seeing our students return rested, recharged and reinvigorated for a big Term 3.

Mrs. Tracey Williamson

Week of Wellness

Last week, Chisholm Catholic College celebrated Week of Wellness 2021. Each day had a different focus and on Monday it was all about Mindfulness. Staff and students participated in mindfulness activities in their PC and in the chill space in the Library at first break as well as taking photography in nature with Ms. Ibell at Lunch 2.

On Tuesday, we celebrated Environmental Awareness and kick started the day with Toast Tuesday. Thanks to IGA Mount Cotton we were able to hand out delicious fruit at both breaks. We also had our Trashy Trolls out and about at Lunch 2 and the whole school turned off all printers for the day.

Wednesday’s focus was on Gratitude and we started our day writing gratitude cards in PC to create an installation in the library spelling out the word ‘RISE’ and throughout the day classes practiced mindfulness activities.

On Thursday, we celebrated Healthy Lifestyles; and what better way to do this than by coming dressed in our favourite sporting team’s jerseys. We had a variety of activities available throughout the day as well. Ms Catterall ran a Zumba class at Lunch 1 and a Handball tournament also took place. During Lunch 2, there was a Staff versus Student Volleyball that ended with the students being triumphant! We also held games and activities in the Library as well as Just Dance. Finally, after school, students were able to engage in Esports games. It was fantastic to see so many staff and students getting involved throughout the day!

Lastly, to finish off the week, Friday was all about FAMILY. We celebrated Liturgy in the Chapel to celebrate our Chisholm family and handed out care packs to parents at school drop off while students wrote positive messages on the pavement in the morning. Students shared picnic lunches at break time and have also been invited (via an email from Mrs Williamson) to guess the number of gratitude notes in the RISE installation to win a Wellness pack!

Thank you to all of the student leaders and committee members for putting this week together and to all the students and staff who got involved. We hope you all had a great Week of Wellness!

Chisholm Esports

Chisholm Esports has been very busy in Term 1 and Term 2 this year with ‘Girls in Gaming’ launching with over 14 members attending each week and ‘Rocket League’ teams being entered into the XP Esports High School League. Our Minecraft teams have been working hard creating worlds and challenges for a trial Tournament in Term 4 (First of its kind in Queensland). The League of Legends team placed fourth in Queensland in the Queensland League of Legends Championships! With Term 3 about to be underway, the Chisholm Invitational will kick off in full force in 2021 with over 16 Schools in attendance, all battling for the title of the ‘Chisholm Invitational’ Champion in League of Legends.

Even though the Rocket League teams started a new season this term, they were able to secure FIRST PLACE in the XP Esports Rocket League high school championships! I am very proud of all teams who competed and especially proud of Chisholm Maroon. Well done.

All Chisholm Esports tournaments are not-for-profit and proceeds go to opportunities and resources for students attending.

Looking forward to seeing your child be a part of something bigger.

On Thursday 17^th June, Chisholm hosted the Brisbane South Year 7/8 Readers’ Cup competition. Fourteen schools from across the region came to compete in a knowledge-based quiz of 5 selected books which students had been reading throughout the term. Author Tristan Banks was our guest author and quizmaster for the evening. Chisholm was represented by five amazing students: Erin Kelly, Bhavi Gupta, Cienna Plant, Jasmine Bentley and Sommer Siepen. The girls performed incredibly well against some tough competition. Overall, they finished in the Top 8 of the competition. Well done ladies!
