Dear Parents and Guardians
Welcome to Term 4 – the “Term of Transition”.
This is the time in which we support each year level as it concludes the current year well, and
prepares for the “step-up” to the next year. There are other elements of transition evident
in our community. Thursday of last week, I attended the blessing and opening of the Holy
Spirit Boondall retirement complex. Seventeen Christian Brothers, under the leadership of
Brother Vince Connors, will transition into this complex, from early November. This week,
we formally transitioned into the Treacy Building as we celebrated its recommissioning.
This event was timed to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the death of Brother
Patrick Ambrose Treacy.
The cohort needing most support will be, as always, our Year 12s, as they complete their
academic studies, and move to the next stage of their life journeys. Every effort will be
made to ensure they complete the year with dignity, and a sense of fulfilment.
Following is an email I received during the holidays.
Dear Nudgee College
I have just returned from Bunnings at Albion and we all know what a bun fight that can be
on a Sunday morning. During wrestling large bales of mulch to my car I was stopped by a
young person who asked me if I would like some help! He then proceeded to seek directions
from me and load my car. I was stunned, asked him what school he attended. I didn’t get his
name because I respected his privacy. He said he attended your College, well, well done Nudgee.
And of course, his wonderful family. Just thought you’d enjoy this small story, but quite a rare
occasion from my point of view! Still amazed.
MW
I appreciate both the action of our young Signum Fidei as well as that of the author who,
has seen fit to share the “Good News” with us.
Standing up for fair funding for Catholic schools
The Federal Government continues to work on the details of its response to the Gonski
Review of School Funding. The following will be of interest to you all.
One in five Australian students attends a Catholic school. On average, they receive 20 per
cent less government funding than if they went to government schools.
The families who choose to send their children to Catholic schools are quite similar to
government school families. Catholic schools tend to charge low fees, so that more families
can make that choice for their children.
1 ST JOSEPH’S NUDGEE COLLEGE NEWSLETTER
13 OCTOBER 2012 | VOLUME 35 | NO 30
When parent fees are included, Catholic schools operate on around 90 per cent of the
cost of government schools. Many parents make big sacrifices to send their children to a
Catholic school. This includes parents whose children have special needs.
Special needs students in Catholic schools receive less funding from government
than if they were going to a government school. Despite the lack of funding, Catholic
schools continue to show improvement for their students, including their most
disadvantaged.
Parents should be free to choose the type of education they want for their children.
When parents choose a Catholic school for their children, governments can invest more
on students in government schools.
In choosing a Catholic education for their children, parents are also saving the taxpayer
around $2.2 billion, which can be spent in other schools.
Any decision to stop government funding for Catholic schools, or to reduce funding by
not having school funding keep pace with government school funding, will mean that
parent fees will have to go up.
If Catholic school fees go up, parents may have to change their mind about where they
send their children to school. Their only choice may be government schools, which will
put increased pressure on the government system. Properly funding Catholic schools
now, and in the future, will help take pressure off government schools.

St Joseph’s Nudgee College
requests prayers for:
Welcome back to our final term for 2012.
Throughout this year we have been breaking open the EREA Touchstones and exploring
what it means to aspire to be faithful to the four touchstones.
The Touchstone of Gospel Spirituality, challenges us to invite people into the story of
Jesus and make his message of compassion, peace and justice a lived reality for all.
Those who are ill at this time:
The Touchstone of Inclusive Community, calls us to be a community that welcomes all
where right relationships are fostered.
Dawson Sorby (NCOB 2011)
Ms Emel Corley (Current Staff Member)
Mr Frederick Wright (Grandfather of Alison
Crilly, current staff Member)
The Touchstone of Justice and solidarity, challenges us to commit ourselves to justice
and peace for all and stand in solidarity with the Earth and the disenfranchised.
Those who are recently deceased:
Mr Noel J Heap (NCOB 1937-39)
Mrs Joan Carter (Mother of Anne Murray,
current Staff Member)
Mrs Rae McGuire (Mother of Richard NCOB
1961, James NCOB 1965)
Mrs Margaret Gavin (Wife of Keith NCOB
1960)
This term we will come to know a Jesus who continues to call us to build a better world
for all: where we as teachers, parents, workers, family members in education, liberate
students and bring hope to those in our care who are hopeless.
As people who come together in a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice Tradition we
aspire to be faithful to the touchstones of Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive Community,
Justice and Solidarity and pay particular attention this term to Liberating Education.
Br Treacy was a man who brought about hope and lived in hope through presence,
compassion and liberation. This term we celebrate the 100th anniversary of his death
and on Thursday we re-dedicated and blessed his building. On Friday, I will be taking a
few students to participate on a Treacy Trail and join other students from Edmund Rice
schools, to remember a Christian Brother who came out from Ireland and visioned a
Catholic Education for young boys.
Excerpt from Regis Hickey’s Book on Patrick Ambrose Treacy
Though Brisbane was a small provincial city, Queensland was a vast colony with settlements
scattered all over it. The 1880s had been a time of rapid expansion in population, investment
and development. Recognising that the school site at Gregory Terrace was too small for
the expansion needed so that no-one was turned away from an education, Brother Treacy
visioned another school that was a three hour walk from Terrace. Brother Patrick Ambrose
Treacy was trying to meet a real need of the rural community – an education for the boys from
rural Queensland and his thoughts turned to a large, unused block of bushland at Nudgee
which Bishop O’Quinn had given to the Brothers. Among the Catholics the great majority
were lower working class, especially rural and the aim would be to bring their children to
the point where they would be employable at a higher level. Nudgee was established to not
be for the higher class, or a prestigious private school, but a place that would be a suitable
environment for the education of boys from the bush, with enough space for the boys to
be themselves. Encouraged by the Brothers and Archbishop Dunne and despite limited
resources of money, Ambrose put his trust in God and had hope in the project.
Brother Ambrose Treacy on 28th June, 1889, wrote to his Superior General,
“I commence the building of Nudgee without either the money for the building or even a
promise from you of staff of Brothers to work. I have confidence however, that God will
provide the means as heretofore and that God will come to our assistance in a more than
ordinary way.”
Blessings for the week ahead.
Walk to the Philippines
“Bayanihan” – Ilongo word meaning many people working together to lighten the load.
On the recent Pag-inupdanay With Spirit immersion to the Philippines, Fr Brian Gore
shared the metaphor of the walis tambo straw broom that is commonly used in the
Philippines that he has taught the people of the Philippines for more than 40 years.
He demonstrated that while a single straw can be easily broken, hundreds of straws
combined can not be damaged. In the same way, one Nudgee College student walking
the 8km from Shorncliffe to the College might not be seen as much, but when the 700
students from Years 5-9 take on the walk together next Friday, the combined distance
is enough to take us all the way to our friends on the Island of Negros Occidental. At
the same time, the students from our five partner schools in Negros taking part in their
annual “Bayanihan Walk to Australia” event will cover the distance needed to bring them
all the way to Brisbane.
I saw proof of how powerful this “Bayanihan” can be by the result of the more than
$100 000 the Nudgee College community has raised for the people of Negros through
the annual “Walk to the Philippines” over the past four years - new classrooms and
infrastructure providing deaf children an education they would otherwise not have, a
goat farming project set up to provide employment for deaf adults, computers, text
books, and science equipment in classrooms, newly created libraries full of books,
newly repaired buildings and roads to mention a few.
With one week to go
do their very best to
students, parents and
amazing work we are
we would like to urge all students in Years 5-9 to
raise as much money as possible, and for all other
friends to please give generously to continue the
helping to provide for our friends in the Philippines.
If any parents are able to help us out on the day as marshals along the route or
cooking a BBQ back at school can you please contact me at mellison@nudgee.com

previously activated their learning account.
Mailout
Students will receive their Senior Education Profile in the mail from Monday 17
December 2012. Profile contents depend on student participation and results, and
will be made up of one or more of the following documents: QCE, Tertiary Entrance
Statement and Senior Statement.
Finishing the Year Strongly
Dimension 5 of Dimensions of Learning is called Habits of Mind and, as I have stated
in previous articles, it is a favourite of mine. These Habits work on the premise that ‘all
boys can learn, but not on the same day and not in the same way.’ They do not displace
the agreed upon standards of learning developed and adopted by the school. Rather,
course content serves as a vehicle that provides an opportunity for learning Habits of
Mind.
Sixteen Habits have been identified. We need to train and develop the boys’ habits of
mind to provide a foundation for academic success. With final assignments and end of
year exams looming, the Habits we have tried to emphasise to the boys are:
The habit of striving for accuracy – boys need to check their work, set themselves
high standards and look for ways to improve.
The boys have to be persistent – they need to stick with the problems presented
in the various tasks, remain focused and not give up.
In striving for accuracy and persistence you have to be self-disciplined. You have to be
prepared to do things over and over. You have to be prepared to do things which aren’t
always fun. Wayne Bennett sums up self-discipline like this:
Do what has to be done;
when it has to be done;
as well as it can be done; and
do it that way all the time.
I hope all the boys take heed of this advice and finish the year strongly.
PAUL BEGG
DEAN OF STUDENTS
It is always with a mix of joy and sadness that many students and parents return for
Term 4. The joy from the parents who have just spent two weeks keeping their son’s
entertained and the sadness from the boys! On a serious level it is that time where we
say goodbye to our Seniors. It is a time filled with great hope that you have laid a strong
foundation and delivered the best guidance. As a College community you hope that,
in partnership with their parents, you have educated them to be gentlemen of strong
values, young men who will carefully think about their actions and make responsible
decisions. However, in the end you have to trust in their goodness and the quality of the
education gifted to them. With that we begin the ‘final lap’ and the commentary of “This
is the last time you will . . .” This may be your final opportunity to . . .” I must admit some
selfishness in saying it is one of my favourite times and one of the great privileges of the
job, to be here when the Seniors make their way into the world.
Finishing Well
All Seniors are reminded that they must finish well. Behaviour that changes or detracts
from the tone of the school, targets other year levels or students or has the ability to
effect the Colleges reputation will not be tolerated. Boys as late as the final assembly
may lose their opportunity to attend the graduation mass and valedictory dinner if
such behaviour were to occur. Mr Hanly has communicated this to all parents of Senior
students via mail.
Students in younger grades, and parents, are reminder that they are neither finishing at
the same time nor graduating at the end of this year. They have a very limited role to play
in the celebrations of completing school.
Final Parent Information Evening
INESS – Internet Education and Safety Services
Monday 5th November
Tierney Auditorium 6.30pm-8.30pm
Our final parent education seminar this year is a holistically linked seminar delivered by
Mr Brett Lee. Brett worked as a Queensland Police Officer for 22 years, 16 of those as a
Detective predominantly in the field of Child Exploitation. In his last five years of service,
he was a specialist in the field of undercover internet child exploitation investigations.
The series of presentations is that there will be 3 student sessions – one for Year 7, Year
8 & Year 9, a session for staff at the afternoon staff meeting and then an evening session
for parents of boys in Years 5-11. Each of the sessions have a different focus delivered
specifically for the audience and their level of need.
For students the broad topic of discovery is cyber safety however the focus is very much
in the area of social medias and mobile devices as the largest portion of unmonitored
internet activity is via mobile device rather than desktop or laptop.
Congratulations to Dale Williamson, one of
our Year 9 men, who recently completed the
Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle Challenge. Dale
and his dad Richard did extremely well despite
the hot conditions, and completed the 100km
distance in a ride time of 3 hours 50 minutes quite an achievement I think. Dale and Richard
were part of a group raising awareness and
sponsorship for adrenal cancer research. Well
done Dale.
Our staff session will look primarily at aspects of safety, legal perspectives and outcomes
– what to look for in the classroom and playground - and finally the evening parent
session will endeavour to ‘equip the cyber-illiterate’ with a compass to navigate the
jungle – as well as deliver feedback from the days sessions with the students about the
reality of what is happening in our school each day and more importantly each evening.
As I am sure you can imagine, it is a significant financial investment but keeping at the
cutting edge for both parents and teachers, as well as raising the boys awareness, is
exceptionally important.

Athletics
Track and Field - September Holidays training camp 2012
On Friday September 21, 56 athletes and 7 staff headed for the Gold Coast and then
onto Lismore, northern New South Wales. Here we were accommodated in magnificent
style at St John’s College, Woodlawn. Set in picturesque rural surrounds, this magnificent
campus holds many parallels with Nudgee College, and particularly so the opendormitory style accommodation of the Nudgee College of yesteryear. To this extent it
served the team well in developing some understanding of the history and tradition
to which they are linked - Nudgee College and GPS Track and Field - through their
membership of Nudgee College Track and Field. It also assisted reflection upon how
they will contribute to the further writing of this history and what legacy they in turn
will leave.
A meet on the first night of camp followed by a number of enthusiastically performed
and fruitful training sessions over the weekend was blended with some other fun time
well spent together as a group. One such occasion was the heats, semis and final of the
“time-honoured” Big N Gift – 60m Handicap Sprint – held on the beach in Byron Bay on
Sunday afternoon, in which all tourists participated. In an incredibly tight finish of the
6-man field final (decision requiring video analysis; as did many heats!), U14 youngster
Brandon Herrigan added to his already glittering season to date (eg selection in Met Nth
team), by snatching this coveted “title”, just shading out Jordan Pizzica and Tom Hogan.
Many thanks are due to driver of the tour coach Mr John Hall for his constant
professionalism and friendliness, and a great debt of thanks are due to the following
coaches for their expertise on camp and giving so generously of their time for the Track
and Field boys: Mrs Maureen Toohey, Mr Paul Schaumberg, Mr Nick Toohey, Mr Anthony
Collins, Mrs Lyndall Warry, and Mrs Sally Blake.
With training at the College for all who could attend during the holidays, the full
contingent of the “Big N” now regroups for the final four week push to the GPS Track
and Field Championships at QEII Nathan (QSAC) on November 3rd. The competition will
- as always - be tough, and our results will reflect what we as a group have contributed
by way of preparation.

Basketball - Term 3 Wrap up
The final round of the GPS Basketball season for 2012 was a good one for Nudgee
College. We won most games across year levels and witnessed significant improvement
amongst the Year 8 cohort. The standout performances on the day were the 1st V.
The final score was 100 points to 53 – the second time this writer has seen the score
crack the tonne. It was an exciting game; Mr Darrington Overstreet (who used to be
the Coaching Director here at Nudgee College) has been doing lots of wonderful work
with the Brisbane Grammar team in order to make them more competitive. It was also
a bittersweet game; Aidan Ptasznik, Jack Le Rossignol, Seaton Poto and Clarke Poto
played their last GPS game for the blue and white. It was great to see them all on court
together in the final quarter and it was clear they enjoyed it as well. So we say farewell to
Aidan’s laid back brilliance, farewell to Jack’s rubber band arms, farewell to Clarke Poto’s
floor diving, and farewell to Seaton Poto’s sweet swishing three’s.
Fortunately for Nudgee College, Alex Boardman is sticking around for another year
under the post, and there are a lot of subbies coming through with loads of talent.
Well done to all the players, coaches and supporters for a successful final round
of competition. Thank you to everyone who helped me in my first year as Head of
Basketball, especially Mr Mik Scott, Mrs Peta Scott, Mrs Fil Ross, Mr Wayne Larkins,
Mrs Karen Larkins, Mr Mark Ensor, Mrs Debra Daly, Mr Jamie Pybus, Mr Wayne O’Brien,
Ms Shayna Poto, Mrs Kate Ptasznik, Mr Reiner Ptasznik, Mrs Kylie Swepson, Mr Des
Swepson, Mrs Cheryl Boardman, Miss Ella Boardman, and Mr James Boardman.

Junior School Canberra Cricket Tour
On Tuesday 2nd October 17 boys set off for Canberra in what was Nudgee College’s
first ever Junior School cricket tour. The tour provided an opportunity for our identified
cricketers to improve their skills and work as part of a team in the annual 8-a-side
Kookaburra Cup Competition, held at venues across Canberra over 3 days.
The 17 boys were divided into a Cup Team (9 boys) and a Plate Team (8 boys) for the 2012
Kookaburra Cup, in which 36 teams entered. The plate team had four Year 5 students,
who regularly played against Year 6 cricketers in the U12s draw.
Cup Team
In the group stages the Cup Team lost two games on Day 1 and won two games on
Day 2. They played against 3 representative teams, one of which (Hornsby, NSW) selects
from over 20 club teams. The Cup Team lost their finals game, on Day 3, to a Blacktown,
NSW Rep Team, who commented that Nudgee College were ‘the strongest school cricket
team they had played against in that age level’.
Plate Team
In the group stages the Plate Team lost their first game and tied their second game on
Day 1. On Day 2 they won both their games. They lost their finals game, on Day 3, to the
team they tied with previously. One of the teams in this division was a rep team and all
of the teams we played against contained rep players from various regions in both ACT
and NSW.
All the boys were awarded medals for various achievements they gained on the tour. A
notable performance was Hugo Allen (Plate Team, Year 5) who scored 51 no in a group
game. Our overall ‘most outstanding player of the tournament’ went to Connor Corlet
(Captain of Cup Team, Year 6).
The boys had a great time and behaved impeccably. Particular thanks must go
to coach/parents Mike Pescatore, Mark McLaughlin and Marcus Kettleton, who
accompanied us on tour. A special mention must also go to Mr Joseph Stephens
(Year 6 Teacher/Year 5A Coach) for his role as Head Coach and Canberra Tour Guide.
