The list has a few changes from this year. At our Night of Excellence we farewelled a number of our long serving staff members
who will retire from the College at the end of the year. I would
like to acknowledge and congratulate Paul Smith, Peter Parry,
Janet Black, Colleen Kelly and Helen Baran on their wonderful
service to our community; we wish them well for their more leisurely pace of life next year. At our Night of Excellence I also
advised those present that Sonny Smith has taken the decision
to step down from leadership roles at the College to give more
time to his young family. I would like to acknowledge the wonderful service that Sonny has given to the College in his role as
Deputy Principal and more recently AP - Pastoral Care. Sonny
will continue at the College in a year 4 class teaching capacity
next year. This week we will also farewell Mr Chris Williams, Mrs
Rachel Walsh, Mrs Kristy Taylor and Mrs Siobhan Molloy. Chris
finishes his two year contract with us to take up a position at
Cannon Hill Anglican College, Rachel will take up a full time
teaching contract at Marist Ashgrove for 2015, Kristy finishes
her twelve month contract with us to move into an exciting journey of motherhood with her imminent arrival of her first child and
Siobhan will finish up her term 4 contract with us and we look
forward to her returning next year in relief teaching appointments. Class lists have been finalised for next year and all year
4 and 5 students will be advised on Friday of their 2015 classes.
Our graduating Year 7 Class
Tonight our year 7 class will graduate and for the first time we
will have students returning next year to Ambrose Treacy College and for others they will commence a new secondary school
journey at another College. For those students leaving tonight
we certainly hope it is not the last time we shall meet and we
look forward to continuing our association with them as we catch
reports on their progress into the various secondary colleges. To
all the year 7 students we warmly thank you for your leadership
throughout the year, and we wish you well in your upcoming
years as you continue to determine your life’s path.
As a final newsletter for the year I would like to thank the community for your continued support throughout the year. 2014 has
been another good year at the College and I look forward with
anticipation to 2015 in the dawning of Ambrose Treacy College.
To all our students I would congratulate you all on a fantastic
year; a year that realized many dreams and a year that was
filled with fun and energy. Your genuine friendship and warmth
are memories that I will take again from the year. To our staff, I
extend my sincere thanks to you once again for your professionalism and genuine care for the students. The fact that students
at Nudgee Junior experience a ‘boys’ heaven’ is a testament to
your commitment and effort. Congratulations on a job well done
and I hope you all enjoy a well earned restful break over Christmas.
May the peace of Christ be with us this Christmas and inspire us
to work for peace in our lives, in our homes, and in our world in
the exciting year that lies ahead.
With best Wishes
Mike Senior
THIS
WEEK
With the Christmas season closing in on us quickly, it is always
important to take time to reflect on the bigger stage we share as
a local, national and global community. For the Nudgee Junior
community it is a time to give thanks for another great year
where fun and laughter, learning and growing, understanding
and challenge have been companions on our journey. At the
end of the year, we say farewell to the Nudgee Junior College
community and re-engage in January next year as the Ambrose
Treacy College community. This is a reminder that our journey
is a short journey and that relationships are precious and the
key to our lives. My wish for our community is that the Christmas
season will be a family season and that the story of Christmas
will be revealed to us all in the joy we share with our families.
As another year draws to a close at the College I would like to
congratulate all our students on another wonderful year. At
these times I always recall Lawrie Gordon commenting that
Nudgee Junior is a bit like the All Blacks – you never get a bad
All Blacks rugby team and here at NJC we never have a bad
year, some are just better than others. Just as the All Blacks
seem to be having another of those golden years, 2014 will be
remembered fondly by the whole NJC community not only will it
be remembered as our final year, it will be remembered for the
many highs. One of the joys of the teaching game is to sit back
at the end of the year and see the growth and changes in boys
over the year. With very few exceptions the changes are very
evident and I see boys who have grown in self confidence and
maturity, for some their physical changes are quite dramatic and
for others they have achieved personal milestones with their
learning in and outside of the classroom. Here at NJC we have
a strong community feel and it’s a feeling that is equally shared
by students, staff and parents. In the end it is this strong community basis that adds quality and meaning to our lives. In a
community we support others and in turn we are supported by
others. This caring for others is the basic story of Christmas and
I hope that this Christmas season is one where we can enjoy
the company of our families and friends and look for peace and
joy in our lives and in the lives of those we love.
Staffing 2015

May I humbly offer the following Irish blessing for
our community as we conclude this chapter of our
story…
May you live as long as you want, and never want

May the grass grow long on the road to hell for want
of use.
May you live to be a hundred years, with one extra
year to repent.
May your troubles be as few and as far apart as
your grandmothers teeth.
May the roof above us never fall in, and may we

May the Lord keep you in His hand and never close
His fist too tight.
May your neighbours respect you, Trouble neglect

you.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May the strength of three be in your journey.
May your right hand always be stretched out in
friendship and never in want.
May you have the hindsight to know where you've
been, the foresight to know where you're going and

May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings,
slow to make enemies, quick to make friends.

THANK YOU: I would like to take this opportunity to
thank all of those wonderful people (both Mums and
Dads) who have helped me over this term. I can never
fully express my gratitude to you. Without your ongoing
assistance I would never have been able to manage the
volume of work that the Uniform Shop has been required to handle to outfit next year’s Ambrose Treacy

Very Happy New Year!
From the
Library
All library books should be returned
by now. I hope that doesn’t mean
that there will be no reading over
the holidays! Brisbane City Council
libraries continue to operate and
have a wonderful selection of books
and e-books.
The State Library of Qld also has a Summer Reading club
which boys can join which promotes reading and online
activities until the end of January. Check it out at: http://
www.summerreadingclub.org.au/
During the holidays we will be adding many new books to
our collection, some of which were chosen by boys who
are members of our Cereal Bookclub. We hope you enjoy
their choices in the new school year.
Many hours will no doubt be spent online so it is timely to
remind boys and families of the need to keep safe. There
is some really good advice offered by commonsensemedia, a UK based service, which has tips applicable no matter where you live. [ https://www.commonsensemedia.org/

Congratulations to all of our wonderful musicians on a fantastic and very memorable year, the last time anyone will play in a

worth it! Those who are moving on to new schools in 2015 I would like to wish you all the very best for your future music
making, I certain that the foundation that you now have in playing your instrument/singing will serve you very well into the
future. For those who are continuing on to ATC, I look forward to what will be a very exciting phase in our music program.
We have some very exciting performance opportunities lined up for next year and are looking forward to pushing the standard to new heights as we grow our school. To everyone, have an enjoyable and very safe school holiday, and make sure
you keep up the practice so you aren’t too rusty when we get back into it next year!

Brett Henschell —henschellb@njc.qld.edu.au
There is little doubt that Saturday produced the best set of results thus far for the school during the Term 4
junior cricket season. This is a credit to the coaches and players for their effort and attention to detail at
team training. Most Two Day matches are evenly poised and another solid week of practice and play could
see more results go the way of ATC this Saturday.
Win, lose or draw, one huge advantage of playing Term 4 junior club cricket is the experience our older players gain from playing on turf. This season has seen all ATC U13 and U12 teams play at least one round on this
type of surface. Players have come to realize that the bounce of the ball is different on turf. You must wait
for the ball to reach you when batting and anything short when bowling sits up and is easy pickings.
The final round on Saturday 6 December 2014 will be played as One Day matches across all age groups.
Please make sure you are available so your team is not forced to play short of forfeit.
Players and parents are reminded that Term 4 junior club cricket fixtures will be played right up to Saturday 6 December 2014.

Triathlon As our triathletes prepared for the final official NJC tri event for the year, they were visited
on Monday morning at training by professional triathlete and Noosa Tri 2014 Runner Up Dan Wilson.
The boy enjoyed hearing his tips for training and the opportunity to ask an elite level athlete lots of
questions about life at the top of the triathlon world. Our thanks to Malcom Barter for organising this
opportunity. On a sadder note, this week we farewell one of our triathlon coaches Brett Travis. Brett
has been an wonderful role model, coach and mentor for our boys and has been instrumental in setting up our program here at the College. We wish Brett the very best of luck in the future and look forward to seeing him around the triathlon scene into the future. Thanks Brett, for all your hard work,
dedication and enthusiasm!
Triathlon training will continue on Monday and Wednesday next week in preparation for Sunday’s Gatorade Tri Event at Raby Bay. This will be the end of the tri season for 2014, however boys will be
able to swim over the holidays in the ATC Swim program. Training for boys who have been selected
in Met West and Met North will begin on Monday 12 January at 7.00am and will continue on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday mornings until Term 1 begins at which time a new training timetable will be
released. Best of luck to all of our triathletes at the Gatorade Tri on Sunday 7 December.
Club Cricket Our inaugural ATC pre-Christmas cricket season has been a resounding success and
with games continuing until Saturday 6 December there is still plenty of cricket left to go. Please note
that coaches will be handing out awards after the final game of the season on Saturday 6 December
at each teams playing venue. This will be a great opportunity to celebrate the boy’s achievements
and a great inaugural ATC season.
Cricket Teams 2015 Please be aware that cricket trials for the Year 5 – 8 school season and *Year 4

What year it has been! I think 2014 has been a wonderful example of staff, students, parents and
community members working together to create great sporting opportunities which will be remembered for many years to come. I would like to thank everyone involved in sport in 2014 in making our
program a possibility. For those ending their journey with the College, I would like to wish you the

Holiday Swimming Program
The swimming programs at the college are in full swing and there is no rest for our swimmers during the
Christmas holidays.
The squad program will continue with the same sessions on offer through to the 20th December. We will
then have a break from all programs and recommence on the 5th of January. In January, the same sessions
are on offer and this is a great time of year to do a couple of extra sessions or an intensive week where you
come every day. The morning training time will be moved so that all squads start at 7am and the afternoons will stay the same at 3.30pm for recreational squad and 4.30pm for the advanced squad. We look
forward to seeing our squad swimmers continue the good training that they have been doing.
The learn to swim program will continue to the completion of the 10 week block on December 13 and then
have a break until recommencement on January 5. In January we are offering learn to swim intensive
weeks where you can book in for a week and complete 1 half hour lesson each day in that week. This is a
great way to improve your child’s swimming capabilities. We have intensive weeks starting on January 5, 12
and 19. All enquires can be emailed to aquatics@njc.qld.edu.au
