A Message from the Principal
Dear Columba Families,
The term has certainly got off to a busy start and there is much to be thankful for as we reflect on some of the events of the last couple of weeks.
Last week our senior students began their external examinations. Special thanks to Mrs Maria Peck, Mr Michael Peck and to all staff involved in preparing and supporting our students at this time. We will continue to keep them in our prayers as they head towards the final stages of their journey here at Columba. I would like to extend a special thank you to our staff for the additional support provided to our students including the extra tutorials, time at Homework Club and for the supportive conversations which all go a long way in coaching our students. It is greatly appreciated.
Students across the College are currently engaging in a range of assessment tasks. Please continue to engage in conversation with your child about their learning and encourage them to seek support from the team at Columba if they have any questions or concerns regarding subjects or assessment. We are here to support your child in any way we can.
Attendance: We are committed to providing a safe, caring and friendly environment for all of our students. Research suggests that regular attendance is vital for academic success and contributes to positive long term employment and social outcomes. It is vital that we work together to fully understand the importance of school attendance. A day here and there may not seem like much, but two days a month equates to over 20 days a year. Over the course of a student's time at school this can equate to one whole year of learning being lost. Attendance everyday for every learner counts. Whilst I fully appreciate that from time to time students will be unwell and there can be extenuating circumstances that impact on a child’s ability to be at school, it is imperative that as a community we promote positive attendance at school.
School readiness includes punctuality, having the correct uniform, adequate nutrition for the day and bringing equipment required for learning. As a community that works in partnership to educate your children, we believe that parents and carers are the first educators of their children; first in time and usually first in influence. With this in mind, I ask you to assist us in promoting and improving attendance at school. Whilst this message may not pertain to everyone (as we have some students who have been attending 100% of the time), it is important that we are all on the same page working towards the same goal.
Last Thursday evening I along with a large contingent of staff and community members attended the Year 11 and 12 "Pink it Up" Hospitality event on the Mt Carmel Campus. Congratulations to Mrs Tonya Burgoine who facilitated a wonderful event and led our students very well. Special thanks also to those staff who gave so freely of their time including Mrs Cecilia Louk, Mrs Gina Porter and Mrs Nita Dixon. Thanks also to members of our community who donated raffle prizes including Loretta Mitchell and Sisbella Hair and Beauty. We have received a great deal of positive feedback and am very proud of the students and the way they conducted themselves.
Last Friday we farewelled Warren Phillips. Warren has been a great contributor to the College in his time and we are grateful for all he has done. We wish Warren well on his new journey as he takes up a new position in the wider community.
Last Sunday our Boarding students enjoyed the North Queensland weather at the Barra Fun Park in Townsville. Special thanks to Michelle Burns, Llana Fuller and all of the staff in attendance for providing this opportunity for our students. It is greatly appreciated and they had an awesome time.
This week our Year 5 students attended Camp at Gumburu. Special thanks to Mr Ryan O’Connor, Mr Gerard Webber, Miss Jessica Allison and Ms Sonia Wood for providing this wonderful experience for our students. They had a great time!
Today we celebrated Grandparents' Day with a special liturgy at St Mary’s Campus. Thanks to Miss Lara Burns and our fabulous Prep students for leading us in prayer and reflection. Thanks also to the many grandparents, families and special friends who joined us to celebrate today. We appreciate the role you play in assisting our students to be strengthened and guided through your ongoing wisdom and loving support.
Tomorrow we celebrate World Teachers’ Day. I would like to extend my gratitude to the teachers at Columba who work in service to educate the young people in our care. We are grateful for the time, energy and support that is provided to our learners and we are grateful for your contribution to this most privileged profession. We will recognise this day with a special morning tea. Thanks in advance to Townsville Catholic Education and to the CSPA for the morning tea which will be provided to us.
In Focus: Pastoral Care and Wellbeing at Columba
This week I would like to focus our attention on Pastoral Care and Wellbeing at Columba. It is important that as a community we are all aware of the expectations, processes and procedures in place to support our students. The safety and wellbeing of the students is central to our mission as a Cathollic school. In doing so, I wish to draw your attention to information for your reference and information.
The ‘Big Five’ Values At Columba, we focus on ensuring that all actions begin and end with ‘Respect.’ We relate all of our actions and behaviours to the ‘Big Five.’
- Respect for Self
- Respect for Others
- Respect for Learning
- Respect for Environment
- Respect for Tradition
School Safe Persons are those staff with whom students can discuss any concerns about things that happen at school, such as conflict with peer groups or study stress. Their concerns may also be about things that occur outside of school and more serious issues. Please find here the link to information regarding our School Safe Persons.
Positive Behaviour Support
Promoting and celebrating positive behaviour is highly effective in promoting and coaching positive behaviour at school. Clear expectations, positive feedback, rewards and recognition for personal behaviour choices are important for sustained positive behaviour and for highlighting ways to engage in positive relationships at school. Please find here a copy of the college’s Positive Behaviour Support Framework
Procedures for Addressing Bullying
Please find here a copy of College Procedures for Addressing Bullying and a copy of the Diocesan Education Council’s Bullying in School’s Policy for Addressing Student Bullying in Schools DEC Policy Both documents are used in the management of matters of this nature at Columba. In the coming weeks, we will be liaising with students regarding other ways to report incidences of bullying or inappropriate behaviour at the College, to ensure that there are a variety of ways that this can be communicated to key personnel in the school.
Guidance and Counselling
The effect of life’s stressors on the personal, social and academic development of students is widely acknowledged. Schools exercise a central role in supporting and assisting student development by providing a guidance and counselling service. At Columba, the College Guidance Counsellor works in partnership with the College community to promote and foster student development, mental health and resilience. The Guidance Counsellor is available to meet with students, parents/guardians and staff to talk about concerns. This is a confidential service. An appointment can be made either by contacting the Counsellor directly or leaving a message with the office staff.
Resources for Families
School TV is a free resource to assist families in raising happy, healthy and resilient youth. These resources are available by clicking on the link on our school website at School TV
Thank you for your ongoing partnership as we work together to enable each student to be “a light to the world” and live life to the full.
All the best for the week ahead.
Many blessings,
Melissa Turner

Dear Parents and Caregivers
YEAR 12 STUDENT ARRANGEMENTS WEEKS 4-6
Year 12 students have commenced their external assessments which they will complete between the 22nd October and 16th November, as timetabled by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA). Please refer to the QCAA External Assessment Timetable previously distributed.
A reminder that Year 12 students not involved in completing External Assessments are required to participate in the alternative program that has been arranged for students. All students have been provided with an individual timetable indicating what exams / activities they will participate in. Once students have completed their last external assessment, it is expected that students will participate in the alternative program organised. The alternative program is planned from Monday 1st November to Friday 12th November. Students will participate in work experience, short courses, community service activities, the Year 12 Project and a spiritual walk at Jezzine. Organisers of these various activities will communicate directly with parents and caregivers.
All students are required to attend school between Monday 15th and Friday 19th November and participate in the activities that have been arranged.
YEAR 11 COMMENCEMENT OF UNIT 3
Year 11 students will complete Unit 2 on the 29th October 2021. Unit 3 will commence on Monday 1 November 2021. It is essential that students remain focussed and dedicated to their studies until the end of the year as students will be commencing new learning and work. It is imperative that Year 11 students remain at school and attend classes until the last day of Term 4.
YEAR 11 SUBJECT CHANGES
Subject changes in Year 11 are not recommended. Examples of why subject changes may be considered include lack of success, the uptake of a TAFE or VET course or a School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship. As Unit 3 begins on Monday 1st November subject changes must be finalised by Friday 12th November 2021 (Week 6, Term 4). Students who would like to investigate the possibility of changing subjects must contact Mrs Peck.
AWARDS EVENING
The 2021 Mount Carmel Campus Awards Evening will be held on Tuesday 16th November commencing at 6:30pm at the World Theatre. During this evening we will celebrate students academic, sporting and cultural successes during the year. Students who will be receiving an award at the evening will be notified that they are required to attend the Awards evening and parents and caregivers will receive a letter informing them that their child / children will be receiving an award and inviting them to attend the evening.
YEAR 9 STUDENTS: MYQCE STUDENT REFERENCE GROUP NOMINATIONS
Th QCAA is inviting Queensland students who will be in Year 10 in 2022 to apply to become a member of the myQCE Student Reference Group and help shape QCE system processes and resources. The group meets up to six times per year and membership is ongoing until students graduate from Year 12. Nominations close on Friday 29 October 2021. For more information and to nominate, visit the myQCE website.
YEARS 7-12 ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS AND REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS (AARA), INCLUDING ILLNESS AND MISADVENTURE
Columba Catholic College recognises that some students have disability, impairment and/or medical conditions, or experience other circumstances that may be a barrier to their performance in assessment. Access arrangements and reasonable adjustments (AARA) are designed to assist these students.
AARA are provided to minimise, as much as possible, barriers for a student whose disability, impairment, medical condition or other circumstances may affect their ability to read, respond to or participate in assessment. These barriers could be permanent, temporary or intermittent. Students may also be eligible for AARA where illness and misadventure (i.e. unforeseen circumstances) or other situations may prevent students from demonstrating their learning, knowledge and skill.
Students are required to submit assessment items on or before the due date, especially if the absence is planned and known about in advance. In the event that a student does require an extension or is absent on the day that an exam is held for a valid reason (eg. illness), then an application form to apply for an extension or sit the exam on an alternative date must be obtained from the College Office, completed by the student and parent or caregiver and submitted to the class teacher and curriculum leader for consideration. Extensions or applications to sit an exam on an alternative date will not be approved unless this procedure is followed. Relevant documentation must be attached to the application such as a doctor’s certificate, statement from a relevant professional or a detailed note explaining why the extension is required from parents or caregivers of students in Years 7-10. Extensions and applications to complete an exam on an alternative date may not be approved in the following situations:
- matters that the student could have avoided (e.g. misreading an examination timetable, misreading instructions in examinations)
- matters of the student’s or parent’s/carer’s own choosing (e.g. family holidays, leaving early at the end of the term).
Maria Peck
DEPUTY PRINCIPAL - ADMINISTRATION
Inclusive Education Section
As we approach the busy part of the term, it is important to encourage our children to review their work regularly. Studying doesn't have to be a chore and there are a number of ways to help your teenager engage, rather than just reading and writing out dot points. Try these strategies recommended by the University of Queensland, to see if they help this assessment season!
1. Chunk the Information
Grouping information into chunks to help make it easier to remember.
A common example of chunking up information is breaking down a phone number into two parts. This makes it easier to remember two 4-digit chunks instead of 8 individual numbers.
The following tools can help you organise information into memorable chunks:
Concept maps
Concept maps are visual representations of your knowledge of a topic. To create a concept map, start with the main topic in the centre, and branch out into smaller, specific topics. You can use colours, words or images to show how to break a topic down into specific, easy-to-remember chunks.
Flow charts
Flow charts can be an effective way to learn ideas that involve a process. They allow you to create a visual representation of a series of steps. To create a flow chart, use shapes and keywords to represent each step of a process. Link these steps with directional arrows to show the flow of the process.
Tables
Tables can help you organise large amounts of information into a one-page summary. This allows you to identify main ideas and compare information.
2. Find connections
To help you store what you've learned, try to connect new information to your existing knowledge. This helps your brain create meaning from what you're learning.
Some ways to help find connections include:
- creating visual representations of new concepts
- summarising ideas in your own words
- creating stories based on the new information
- using analogies to find similarities between new information and your existing knowledge.
3. Use memory tricks
You can use memory tricks to make it easier to remember key concepts or formulas. Some common memory tricks include:
- Acronyms – use the first letter of the words in a phrase to create a shortened word.
- Acrostics – use the first letter of the words in a phrase to create a sentence.
- Rhymes – use keywords, ideas or phrases to create a rhyme.
4. Emphasise Learning over memorising
It's important to learn and understand new information rather than simply memorising it. To help you learn and retain new information, you can:
- make weekly summaries of course content
- review your summaries each week
- revise your lecture notes as you progress through the semester
- try to explain the new information to a friend
- imagine how the new information can be practically applied
- test yourself regularly.

CURRICULUM LEADER - LEARNING ENHANCEMENT
From the HASS Department - MC Campus
Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) a discipline that is constantly exploring and questioning our world and the people within it, whether it is local, statewide and worldwide events that have happened in the last few months, our students demonstrated a keen interest in the process, and the possible impacts, both short-term and long-term, upon our nation and the world, especially the conversation of the COVID-19 pandemic that has taken a significant toll on people socially and economically all across the world.
It is encouraged to have conversations at home to help students to consider and inquire into the “big questions” such as, How will the world or local economy get back to the levels of pre-COVID? What will be the ongoing, and long-term, political and social effects? These and many other questions will allow students to create innovative ideas and engage in critical thinking, a vital aspect of any democratic society, to develop.
Our department is eagerly anticipating the Year 10s transitioning into Year 11s in 2022, having a good number of students continue their HASS pathway to inquire specialised subjects of Ancient History, Business, and Economics.
On a final note is a wish to our Year 12 students the best of luck in the preparation of their upcoming external assessment. We look forward to welcoming the Year 11s back in 2022 to commence the rigours of Year 12, working with students to support them achieve the best they can in their last two units of their studies in Ancient History and Business.

CURRICULUM LEADER - HUMANITIES/LANGUAGES
From the Languages Department - MC Campus
“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.” Flora Lewis - The New York Times foreign and diplomatic correspondent 1972.
In the next few weeks, our students from Years 4-10 are preparing for their upcoming assessment that will involve an oral presentation for the St Mary’s Campus; reading, listening and speaking assessments for the Year 7 and 8 elective rotation; listening and speaking assessment for the Year 9 and 10. So if you find your child at home uttering something unfamiliar to English, do not be surprised, perhaps they are practicing their Mandarin Chinese pinyin and tones!
Mandarin Chinese language has four tones, so one word can be pronounced four different ways, and each pronunciation has a different meaning. Pinyin can easily cause enigma and perhaps awkwardness since one pinyin can symbolise different characters with the same pronunciation, which maybe is one of the reasons that Mandarin Chinese is listed as one of the most difficult languages to learn and master.
Aiming at boosting students’ confidence in communicating in Mandarin Chinese or any other language, there are four skills of language (listening; speaking; reading; writing) that allow learners to comprehend and produce spoken language for proper and effective interpersonal communication.
Listening - it is known as a receptive and passive skill, as it requires us to use our ears and our brains to comprehend language as it is being spoken to us. It is the first of two natural language skills. Listening is fundamental to mastering a second language.
Speaking - it is known as a productive and active skill, as it requires us to utilise our vocab tract and our brains to correctly produce language through sound.
Reading - it is a receptive or a passive skill, as it requires us to use our eyes and our brains to comprehend the written equivalent of spoken language. Reading is an excellent source of comprehensible input to improve language comprehension and communication skills.
Writing - it is a productive or an active skill, as it requires us to use our hands and our brains to produce the written characters that represent the target spoken language.
I always remind students that learning a language is not only for the purpose of traveling overseas or speaking in another language, however, it is to develop and enhance the above life-long skills.
I would like to commend all the Languages students for the resilience and application shown in learning Mandarin Chinese. I look forward to welcoming the new students of Years 4 to 10 for 2022 to embark on the wonderful journey of Language learning.

Year One News
Year 1 students have made a great start to the term! Although we are very excited for the end of the school year, we know there’s much more work to be done. We will continue to work hard right up until that last week of school to ensure we can learn as much as we possibly can before the Summer break.
Reading, writing and developing a solid foundation in Maths continue to be our focus, as we finish the year strong. We have seen tremendous growth in many areas, and we are looking forward to much more. Please continue to support our cherubs to read each night, and to ensure that homework is completed to a high standard.
This term we are learning about the observable changes during the day and night. We are also learning about the seasons and the changes they bring. During HASS, we are exploring weather and how this is different depending on where you are in the world. During Technology, we are navigating Google Drawings to support this learning. In Religious Education, we’ve been learning more about Mary and just how very special she is in Jesus’ life.
As this is our last newsletter article, I would like to acknowledge our supportive, kind and community-minded parents for everything they have done to support us in our learning this year. Together we have achieved so much. Please know just how thankful I am to have had such amazing support in teaching your children.

The year is almost over, so we thought that we would write our last newsletter article for 2021, with some home tips and resources for your child/ren to use in the holidays.
READING WITH YOUR SMALL CHILD
Small children love being read to. Try to make reading a part of your child’s nightly bedtime routine. The following are some tips that you may like to use when reading with your child:
Read together every day
Read to your child every day. Make this a warm and loving time such as part of your child’s bedtime routine.
Give everything a name
Build your child's vocabulary by talking about interesting words and objects. For example, "Look at that aeroplane! Those are the wings of the plane. Why do you think they are called wings?"
Say how much you enjoy reading
Tell your child how much you enjoy reading with him or her. Talk about "story time" as the favourite part of your day.
Read with fun in your voice
Read to your child with humour and expression. Use different voices.
Know when to stop
Put the book away for a while if your child loses interest or is having trouble paying attention.
Be interactive
Discuss what's happening in the book, point out things on the page, and ask questions.
Read it again and again
Go ahead and read your child's favourite book for the 100th time!
Talk about writing, too
Mention to your child how we read from left to right and how words are separated by spaces.
Point out print everywhere
Talk about the written words you see in the world around you. Ask your child to find a new word on each outing.
DAY 1: Read the book to your child.
DAY 2: Read the book with your child.
DAY 3: Have your child read the book to you.

LEARNING ENRICHMENT TEACHERS
Residential News
Dear Parents, Caregivers, Staff and Students,
The last couple of weeks have been a hive of activity for the College’s Boarders. Some residential students participated in the “Pink it Up” event whereby the Senior Hospitality class (of which quite a few were Boarders) hosted an evening of fine dining and entertainment. The Dining Room was a sea of pink. Mrs Turner, Mrs Burns and Mrs Fuller’s table proved to be very knowledgeable and just a tad competitive by taking out the Trivia competition.
Last Friday, the College Seniors commenced the external examination block. This is their final chapter as students of this school before they depart the College and embark on the next stage of their life’s journey. I know that they will work hard and perform to their best. I wish them all every success that they deserve.
In approximately a week’s time the boarding fraternity will vote on who the 2022 Residential Captains will be. The Residential Captains will be announced in Week 6. I am sure that the elected students will do a sterling job for their peers and school.
On Sunday 24 October I had the good fortune of travelling down to Townsville with the Boarding students and staff to engage in some recreational activities at the Barra Fun Park. From what I was able to observe, everyone had a great day. I would like to thank Mrs Burns, Mrs Fuller and the staff who assisted them for making the day such a great success.
Over the course of the next couple of weeks, I intend on sending out a survey to parents to gather feedback in relation to Boarding in relation to the quality of residential care extended to our Boarding students. This feedback will be of vital importance. It would be greatly appreciated if as many parents as possible take the time to complete the questionnaire.
Regards
