COMPASS NO 303 | MAY 2013

Being Just

Being just requires courage, wisdom and compassion. It means we have the capacity

to discern what is right and good for ourselves and others. Many times knowing what is

right is clear, for example when people speak badly about others or hurt people or

animals, it is clear that we need to stand up and ensure the behaviour stops. At other

times, choices can be less clear.

In those moments of both certainty and uncertainty, it is important that we have learnt

ways of thinking about different issues. Progressively we develop a moral compass.

Through dialogue and observation, our capacity to discern can grow. However, just like

a magnetic compass, there needs to be a firm reference point that keeps us knowing

where we are. God, through the Bible, provides us with that reference point. He

advocates that being kind is part of being just. Best news of all, He tells us that through

faith we all are justified. That is, we all are made right with God through faith in Him.

This is good news worth living and sharing. It adds humility, compassion and

celebration to our compass.

Principal’s Log

Last Friday we held a chapel to thank Pastor Rick for his

services in his official capacity as Congregational Pastor. It

was a warm celebration of the gifts that he has brought to this

community and the wider Lutheran community. As the

congregational Pastor, he was one of the leading people in

the establishment of Pacific. As Foundation Pastor of the

college, he had a firm commitment to working in partnership

with others to build a community where relationships were

strong, people were valued and people both young and old

had the opportunity to grow in their understanding of Jesus’

love for them. His warmth, compassion and capacity to

develop relationships with people was and continues to be

greatly valued.

Pastor Rick was innovative and always willing to try new ways

to make the Gospel both accessible and understood. As part

of this, he won a Ruth Murray Scholarship to study the

benefits of meditation and shared these learnings with the

COMPASS

NO 303 | MAY 2013

Pacific and wider Lutheran community of Australia. Pastor

Rick greatly appreciated the gifts from classes and pastoral

care groups, taking the time to acknowledge each class. The

gift of a copy of the colourful cross that he first bought for the

college was also greatly appreciated by him. Thank you to Mr

Dennis Mulherin, Assistant Director, who spoke on behalf of

Lutheran Education Queensland, Mr Brendan Delaney who

spoke on behalf of staff, foundation senior student Kade

Savage who spoke on behalf of students and Pastor Paul

Smith for his organisation of the service. The good news is

that Pastor Rick will continue to visit the college as a pastoral

friend.

Sunday’s Open Day was a great success. Staff, students and

parents all played their part to have the heart, mind and soul

of Pacific shining through. Thank you to our students for their

support in leading tours, being part of performance groups,

preparing and serving food, and completing academic work.

Thank you to our staff for the considerable time spent in

leading groups or displays, and to our parents for the BBQ,

support of performance groups and changing routines to have

the students present. Well done and thank you to everyone.

May God grant us the wisdom and compassion to grow to be

truly just.

Dr Bronwyn Dolling, Principal

Daily Bread

A simple summary for the big picture . . .

My training to be a Lutheran pastor included seven years of

study. Imagine if that could be summarized into a few words!

The seven years of my training was centered on knowing the

message of the Bible, so we set about learning and reading

the original languages that the Bible was written in.

But there is a summary of the whole message of the Bible, and

it is written in the Bible itself. In the Old Testament book of

Micah, we read, “What is good; and what does the Lord require

of you … To do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk

humbly with your God?”

These three short summary phrases invite a lifetime of learning

and reflection. They are three phrases of “doing” faith, not just

“thinking” faith. They describe a life caught up into the heart of

God - for God is just and kind and good. We know this

because God not only invites us to “walk” with Him, but God

has come to walk with us in the person of our Lord and Saviour

Jesus Christ.

God bless you as you learn to walk by faith.

“What is good; and what does the Lord require of you . . .

To do justice,

and to love kindness,

and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6: 8

Opportunities

This week, I asked students on assembly whether they have

been watching the television show, The Voice. Have you

watched this currently popular television show?

The Voice so far has showcased the musical talents of a

number of individuals Australia wide. I am not an avid viewer

of the show, but what captured my attention was the concept

of individuals taking the risk to perform in a blind audition;

then if selected, they are given the opportunity to be mentored

by a coach to build on their musical talents. In our

community, students have many opportunities to give things a

go and are mentored by others (peers, staff or others in the

community) to build on their God-given talents.

Similarly to this television show, there have been many

afternoons where I will be working on things and then hear

beautiful vocal harmonies emanate from the Music block; Bye,

Bye, Birdie… or the sounds of instruments…. I have no idea

who is singing what part or who is playing what instrument,

but what I do know is that these Pacific students have

demonstrated initiative, attend practice and work towards

building upon and refining their God-given talents in the music

COMPASS

NO 303 | MAY 2013

area under the direction and guidance of staff (such as Mr

Simpfendorfer and Mrs Delaney for the musical). What you

will not see around the college though is Mr Simpfendorfer or

Mrs Delaney swiveling on big red chairs. HOWEVER, you will

definitely see staff listening to, supporting, providing direction

to, and mentoring students amongst other things to pursue

personal excellence.

How can you be involved? We encourage the community to

come and enjoy the musical. Tickets are selling fast for the

musical, so to avoid missing this opportunity, please purchase

these as soon as you can.

Over this term, I will continue to highlight the different areas of

the college where students have opportunities to make a

difference (both for themselves, for others and the

community). It is making the effort to be present (ie. deeply

connected and involved), that makes ones presence a gift to

others.

Uniform

As we change over to winter uniform, we have reflected on

assembly and in pastoral care on the college’s uniform

expectations which are outlined in the Student Handbook

(Middle/Senior College). I have been impressed by the

majority of students who are making positive choices in

regards to wearing their uniform with pride. This week at

assembly, I thanked the senior students and reminded them

about wearing blazers to and from school, to assemblies and

to chapel with their formal day uniform. Male students should

also be wearing ties. During the day, they are able to take off

their blazer and store them in their lockers.

A reminder also, that shoes for sport and Health and Physical

Education classes need to be recognised running shoes that

provide arch support and suitable grip for the playing

surface/activity. Skate, dance, dress and tennis shoes with

flat soles are not permitted. A preference is for non-marking

shoes. If there are any inquiries, please contact Mr Gary

Graves, Head of Sport and Physical Education.

All Year 12 students please note the following date for your

Students who have other commitments on this day are

requested to make arrangements so that they are able to be

NAPLAN

Next week from Tuesday to Thursday, students in Year 3, 5, 7

and 9 will be tested in Literacy and Numeracy - NAPLAN.

Some students may find the tests a little bit stressful. Teachers

are encouraging all students to give an answer to every

question and to be positive about the experience.

I would also like to remind students and their parents to make

sure they have a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast in

the morning.

Students will be able to think more clearly if they are well rested

and well-nourished each day before they sit the tests.

It is also important that students arrive at the college on time.

This will also help them feel more relaxed.

The tests are a useful snapshot, a one-off assessment that

allows the college to review our teaching and learning

programs at a whole school level, but also to look at the

individual growth of each child.

Walk Safely to School Day

Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual, national

event when all primary school children will be encouraged to

walk and commute safely to school. This year, all students at

Pacific are encouraged to participate in this event. The walk is

a community event seeking to promote road safety, health,

public transport and the environment. By walking to school, you

will get some great exercise and quality time with friends, as

COMPASS

NO 303 | MAY 2013

well as reducing traffic congestion and pollution around the

school.

It will be held throughout Australia on Friday, 24th

May.

If possible, parents are invited to join with their children in

walking all or part of the way from home to school on Friday,

24th

May. Walk and Talk . . . If you feel you live too far away to

walk from home, then meet at Oakdale Park, in Oakdale

Circuit, Currimundi and join us for a short 850m walk from

there. Mr Druery will be there to meet you at 8.00am, for an

8.05am departure. To ensure the safety of our students, we

ask that children are accompanied by a parent / carer where

possible.

Allergy Awareness Week

Allergy Awareness Week will be held from 13th

- 19th

May. At

Pacific in Years P-5, we have a number of students who can

suffer from life threatening allergic reactions when exposed to

peanuts or nut products. A number of students also can suffer

severe allergic reactions caused by other allergens including

insect bites and a variety of other food products. In the case of

peanuts and nut products, avoidance of the food trigger is the

only way to prevent a reaction. With the increased emergence

of serious allergic reactions amongst children, this issue

impacts on the entire college community. It is requested that

parents do not send nut or peanut products of any kind to

school with their children. Examples of products that

contain peanuts are Peanut Butter/Paste, Nutella, Peanut

Bars and some muesli bars and health bars. Please read

food labeling to ensure that foods sent to school do not contain

peanuts.

School Photos

Prep - Year 5 Monday, 20th May

Years 6-12 Tuesday, 21st May

Every child has received an envelope to place

his/her order for individual class photos. If you

would like a family photo to be taken (families

with two or more children), a family envelope

can be collected from Miss Sainty in the office.

A reminder that these envelopes are to be returned to the

school office PRIOR to the photography day (by Wednesday,

15th

May) as these envelopes must be sorted prior to

commencing to photograph.

Each child must have a completed envelope, even if you are

paying for more than one student in one envelope. Envelopes

are not to be placed inside other envelopes. Student

order/family envelopes found placed inside other order

envelopes will often result in that student missing their portraits

as they will not be discovered until after the day of

photography.

YEARS 6-12: When filling out your envelop, “Roll Class” is

your Year level and class (eg Year 8A - not Mumba 1).

The photographers have an automated system for payments by

credit card. You can go online to www.advancedlife.com.au for

easy to understand payment instructions. You will receive a

receipt number which MUST be written on the order envelope

in the space provided. You can also make payments by cash,

cheque or money order.

Students are required to wear FULL DRESS UNIFORM on

either Monday, 20th

May or Tuesday, 21st May.

Pacific Soccer Update

Round 6 - 4th May

Last Saturday was Star Wars

Day, and our gallant players

competed boldly on the field,

using skills and teamwork, instead of light sabres.

The competitive teams generally had very close matches.

The U11 Tigerheads lost by just one goal to Buderim and the

U13 Marlins and U13 Seahorses had close wins against

Chancellor and Immanuel respectively. The U16/17 Jets had

a 3 - 1 win against Nambour and U12 Barracudas had a solid

win against Caloundra White.

The next two rounds will be played at home, so it will be

wonderful to be able to see all our teams playing again.

Thank You from Pacific Soccer

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Jodie Swindles,

the new manager of the U8 Pythons, and to Melissa and

Damien Evans, the new managers of the U12 Barracudas.

Thank you all for offering some of your time to help out your

team.

Thank you also to Tony Aitken and to Shelagh Brennand for

your time as manager of the Pythons and the Barracudas

respectively. The generous contribution which you have

made to your team is greatly appreciated by the players, the

team and by Pacific Soccer.
