Developing Effective Study Habits
The Middle and Senior School Assembly last Friday focused on the topic of developing effective study habits and building strategic
homework management skills. As we move closer to the end of semester it was timely to remind students of the importance of focusing
on the completion of homework and assignments and effective exam preparation in order to achieve their goals.
Students from Mr Austin’s 8.1 Pastoral Care class provided an informative and entertaining presentation that highlighted the common
distractions students face when attempting to complete homework and assessment. Research indicates that the majority of students
‘multi-task’ while doing homework and study. The greatest distraction is music with over eighty-four per cent of teenagers tuned into
music as a side activity. This was followed by talking on the phone, going on the internet, sending emails, text messaging or playing a
video game. Such distractions impede the effectiveness and performance of students by reducing their ability to concentrate and focus.
The key to developing and maintaining effective study habits is to study smarter. The following are ten proven and effective study
habits:
How you approach studying matters: - too many students look at studying as a necessity rather than an enjoyment or opportunity to
learn. Regardless of how study is viewed, a positive mindset is essential to be able to study smarter.
Where you study is important: - a conducive study environment with minimal distraction will help students to concentrate and focus
better. Distractions such as television should be avoided.
Bring everything you need, nothing you don’t: - Finding the ideal study environment means reducing distractions such as computers
and internet access. If you don’t absolutely need an item to complete a task, such as a computer, don’t bring it.
Outline and rewrite your notes: - use as many senses as possible when studying. A great idea is to write notes and mouth the words
out loud while you copy the notes.
Use memory games: - this is an effective method for remembering information using a simple association of common words.
Practice by yourself or with friends: - ‘practice makes perfect’ is true when applied to studying for an examination. You can practice
by yourself, or with a friend. Make flash cards, create quizzes or do practice exams to reinforce the information you are trying to
retain.
Make a schedule you can stick to: - study time is less of a burden or hassle when you are able to plan it. Instead of last minute
cramming which leads to stress, be better prepared by scheduling your study time.
Take breaks (and rewards): - because so many students view studying as a chore or task it is human nature to try and avoid it. If you
can implement rewards to help reinforce what you are doing you may be pleasantly surprised by the change in your attitude.
Keep healthy and balanced: - When you are out of balance it becomes difficult to focus on study. Don’t spend all your time studying
and ensure that you maintain healthy relationships with friends and family. Find interests that you enjoy outside of school to build a
healthy balance between your academic and recreational needs.
Know what the expectations are for the class: - The best way to be prepared is to know the expectations required of you. Every
teacher, class and subject has different requirements and expectations so pay attention in class, take good notes and listen.
With only three weeks to the commencement of the Secondary Exam block now is the time to adopt a smart approach to effective
preparation for the upcoming exams.

Pastoral Care Corner – Character Counts
Be absolutely determined to enjoy what you do. (Gerry Sikorski)
Wishing all mothers and grandmothers a very special and blessed day on Sunday. It is also acknowledged that, for
some families, for many different reasons, celebrations on this day are tinged with sadness.
One of the greatest challenges currently faced by all parents, no matter what the age of their children, is the use and
management of digital technologies. It is generally agreed that this is a shared responsibility, a community
responsibility. Provided below are only a few of many highly recommended resources, providing information,
guidelines and support for assisting children, teenagers, parents, teachers and other concerned community members,
in this challenging area of online safety and ensuring that online activity is an enjoyable and positive experience.
http://www.cybersmart.gov.au/ The Cybersmart program is a national cybersafety education program managed by
the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). It is designed to help children and whole families find
out how to be cybersmart and use the Internet safely. There are age-appropriate sections for young kids, kids, teens,
parents, schools and libraries. Many of the curriculum resources provided on this site are used with our Middle and
Senior School students.
http://www.staysmartonline.gov.au/ This Australian Government site is an initiative of the Department of Broadband,
Communication and the Digital Economy, providing cyber security information for Australian internet users on the
simple steps they can take to protect their personal and financial information online. Sections are provided for Home
users, Business, Schools, Kids and Teens.
http://www.thinkuknow.org.au/ ThinkUKnow is a joint initiative of the Australian Federal Police (ADF), Australian
Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and Microsoft. The program is an internet safety program designed to
help teachers, carers and parents educate children about safety and encourage them to think before they act online.
http://www.police.qld.gov.au/programs/cscp/personalSafety/children/childProtection/ The Queensland Police Service
have produced, Who’s chatting to your kids? an e-booklet that provides you with practical information about internet
safety and reducing online risks for children. Some of the topics covered include – social media, smart devices and
phones, other internet capable devices, sexting, risk signs and safety tips.
http://www.theline.org.au/young-people-and-technology The Line focuses on information for parents, caregivers,
young people and teachers on how to keep friendships and relationships healthy and respectful and how to avoid
crossing the line that makes someone feel frightened, intimidated or diminished. Topics discussed include respect,
gender, consent, sex, equality, bystander action, technology and communication. Sometimes, there’s no argument
about where to draw the line in our friendships and relationships. But sometimes, the line can get blurry.
http://www.amf.org.au/digitallicence/ and https://www.digitallicence.com.au/home eSmart, an initiative of the Alannah
and Madeline Foundation, aims to improve cybersafety and reduce cyberbullying. Earlier this year they launched the
eSmart Digital Licence, a program to help protect children from online risks such as cyberbullying and accessing
inappropriate content. Thanks to a million dollar grant from Google, the Digital Licence is being made available to
every Grade 6 student in Australia. Rivermount Year 6 students are signed up to complete this program.
http://www.cybersafetysolutions.com.au/ ‘Cyber Cop’, Susan McLean has last year released a book, Sexts, Texts &
Selfies, how to keep your children safe in the digital space, which can be ordered through her website. The website
itself provides several valuable free, downloadable, PDF Fact Sheets on the topics appropriate to keeping children
safe in the digital space.
http://www.ikeepsafe.org/ Includes safety, security and ethics tools and resources for helping families and educators
teach children to use the internet safely and wisely.
As we go to print, there is a must-watch, spine-chilling video doing the rounds on social media, reminding us of the
dangers of texting while driving. It only takes one minute to view and is available on the Ben and Me Blog on
Facebook.

Queensland Core Skills Chief Community Representative
The College is seeking expressions of interest from people who may be prepared to act as the Chief Community
Representative for the Queensland Core Skills (QCS) test at either Rivermount College or another nearby school.
The College is required to nominate three representatives, one of which will serve at the College, another will be
required to serve at an adjacent school and one will remain as a reserve. The Chief Community Representative is a
paid position and the persons selected are required to ensure that all the processes associated with the QSC tests
are appropriately administered within each school.
This year the tests will occur on Tuesday, 1 September and Wednesday, 2 September. Community Representatives
will be required on these days, as well as two short earlier sessions to ensure that secure examination materials are
properly handled by the school administering the test. The College’s reserve nominee is not eligible for any payment.
These positions would suit an active retired person. A full position description and application forms may be obtained
via email from m.walker@rivermount.qld.edu.au The closing date for applications is Friday 22 May.

Understanding Expectations and Maintaining Standards
Rivermount College prides itself on assisting students to develop respect for themselves as persons and as members
of the College community. Students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that will not detract
from their reputation and/or that of the College, regardless of when or where they may be.
In recent weeks, it has been necessary to remind students about punctuality, make-up and hair expectations. To this
end, we are seeking the support of our College families in ensuring that College expectations are maintained. More
detailed information may be found in the Student Handbook and via the links section of Parent Lounge.
Punctuality
Students are expected to be at school and ready for class before the first bell at 8:25am. Pastoral Care commences
at 8:30am and any student arriving after this time must proceed to Student Welfare and sign in as being late to
school. Understandably, occasional unavoidable delays may occur with public transport or exceptional family
circumstances.
Repeated ‘lateness to school’ without due reason is a cause for concern as it disrupts classes and impacts on
students’ learning.

Mooting At Bond University
On 30 April, Senior Rivermount students, Jessie Cromb, Samantha Nielson, Tia Boyd-Long, Toby Constable,
Christopher Berndt, Matthew Pineda, Mekayla McMahon and Vanessa Chertes attended the annual Secondary
Schools Mooting Competition at Bond University.
On the day, Rivermount College argued a legal case against students from Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School.
The hypothetical case involved a 17 year old teenage girl from Victoria, appealing a verdict from the Supreme Court
against Sandy Adventures Limited for neck injuries incurred when she rolled down a large sand dune.
Rivermount College, representing the tour company, argued that Sandy Adventures Ltd had not breached its Duty of
Care because it had warned the participants about the dangers. Samantha Neilson, Tia Boyd-Long and Jessie Cromb
presented the case, arguing that the injuries to the girl were her own fault, and that rolling down a 40 metre high sand
dune was a very obvious risk in a dangerous recreational activity.
During the moot, the judges asked challenging questions to both legal teams and, at the conclusion, provided some
very positive feedback to all the speakers. Due to the nature of the competition there are no winners announced on
the day. Two teams will be notified of being selected to participate in a national competition later in the year.
It was an interesting and challenging competition, and we say thank you to Mrs Mary Helbig for coaching us for the
last two months as we prepared our arguments.

Allied Health Careers Forum
On Wednesday 29 April, 17 students from Year 12 attended the Allied
Health Careers Forum at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
This was an excellent event which allowed our students the opportunity
to meet 14 professionals involved in Allied Health Services and discuss
aspects of their occupations. Students were also able to interact with
industry workers and educational providers to discuss pathways into the
industry. Rivermount students gained a lot from this forum as evidenced
by the high level of engagement in all activities.
It was a pleasure to accompany our students to this forum.

Junior School Literacy Tutoring
Junior School Literacy Tutoring for Term 2 has commenced.
Sessions are held in Mrs Ann Andersen’s Year 6 classroom and run from 3:30pm to 4:30pm each Wednesday
afternoon throughout the term. The Literacy Tutoring is available to any interested student from Year 4 to Year 6, with
the sessions providing an opportunity for those students who would like additional assistance with their Literacy to

Junior School Debating
Last week our Year 5 and Year 6 Debating teams headed off to Coomera Anglican College for their first round of
debating for the year, debating “that cats make better pets than dogs”.
The affirmative team of Abigail Robertson, Tyra Lovelock and Alison Gustavson won the first round by default and
were narrowly beaten in the second round. Alison was excellent with her rebuttal and the adjudicator was suitably
impressed.
The negative team of Declan Corner, Baker Webb and Logan Webb started out with two great wins. Congratulations
boys! A special mention to both Abigail and Declan for an outstanding effort for their first ever debate.
Thank you to Orla Amos, Jordan McCormack and Mackenzie Scott for your assistance with chairing and timekeeping.

Year 4 Band Program
The students of 4B wrapped up their involvement in the Rivermount College Year 4 Band Program in style last Friday
with a public performance in front of family and friends at the Junior School Assembly. Throughout Term 1 and Term
2, students have been attending a weekly band rehearsal and receiving group tuition on flute, clarinet, bass clarinet,
alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone, euphonium and percussion.
Over the course of 11 weeks, students have developed their knowledge, understanding and skills associated with
musicianship and playing in an ensemble as well as learning how to play their specific instrument.
Congratulations to Mrs Karen Harris, Mr Scott Davey, Mr Mark Kroon and of course, the students of 4B for their
positive engagement with the program.

STUDENT SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS
Kiwa Retains The Top Prize
Rivermount College student Kiwa King recently contested the National Amateur Boxing Title
on the Gold Coast at the Paradise Point Bowls Club in the Schoolboy 63kg Division.
Two other boxers featured in the division from New South Wales (NSW) and Northern
Territory (NT), however, the NT boxer failed to make weight which put Kiwa straight into
the final against Kevin Large from NSW. The Large family is a highly esteemed boxing family
and Kevin's father was the NSW State Coach.
Kiwa was full of determination and fully focused on retaining his Australian Title he won in Perth
last year. Kiwa showed his skill from the start with his opponent receiving a standing eight count early
in the bout. Kiwa kept up the pressure and the bout was stopped within the first minute of the first
round impressing everyone including the National Coach Kevin Smith.
Bailey Qualifies for State Championships
On Sunday 26 April Rivermount College student Bailey Grofski attended the Nerang and District
Equestrian Club interschool dressage day at the Mudgeeraba Showgrounds. Bailey was competing
with his new horse Dicavalli Royal Dancer (AKA Remi). Remi and Bailey have only been together for
seven weeks and were thrilled to win both dressage tests, gaining scores which more than qualify
them for the Queensland State Interschool Championships in June.
The next event on the interschool calendar is the Regional Interschool Championships which are to be
held at Beaudesert this weekend. Bailey and Remi will compete over 3 days, participating in the
dressage, showman and show hunter classes.
Rivermount Students Feature at Basketball State Titles
During the Easter holidays, two students from Rivermount College attended the
Queensland State Championships for Basketball – Brendan Elvery played in the U16
Logan Storm boys competition on the Gold Coast, while Tyra Lovelock played for the
U12 Logan Thunder girls competition in Townsville.
The U16 boys and the U12 girls both placed 6th in Queensland. Both students have
been training 2 days a week for this championship since last year. Their teams worked
really hard and made the most of it with some wins and losses. They had an amazing
time and learnt what it felt like to play under pressure.
Tyra’s biggest highlight came during one of her closest games, with 3 points behind
with one second to go and Tyra took a shot from way outside the ring and made the shot!
Hannah Is Riding High
Last week Rivermount College student Hannah Lonergan
competed at the National Paint Horse Championships in
Tamworth NSW with her two horses Jasper and Doc. Hannah walked away from the show with two
National Titles, four Reserve Titles and a number of placings in large classes containing as many
as 23 competitors.
Overall, she received Highpoint Senior Youth of the National Show, winning a buckle and also she
received the Good Mate Award. The Good Mate Award is presented to the competitor who displays
the most leadership and sportsmanship. To top off Hannah’s trip, she was elected as Australia’s
Youth President of the Paint Horse Association of Australia and will be attending future Board
Meetings across New South Wales and Queensland. Hannah also starred on primetime Seven
Network News as she was interviewed about her achievements at the National Show. Hannah
received Highpoint Youth of Queensland, Highpoint Senior Youth of Australia and Highpoint overall
Youth of Australia. The next stop for Hannah is the try outs for the world team which are held at the
end of this year for the team to compete in the United States of America in June next year.
JTAS Swimming Championships
On the last day of Term One a very young and determined Rivermount College Swimming
Team travelled to the State Aquatic Centre at Chandler to contest in the 2015 JTAS Swimming
Championships.
After six months of training the team was quietly confident as they took to the water. Overall, the
College finished a credible third place in a competition that included seven other member
Colleges. There were some fine individual and team performances during the day with the 10
year old girls winning the Red Division Age Championship.
Well done to all swimmers who represented the College. Thank you to our parent body for supporting the event, to Mrs Coutts
for managing the team, Mrs Karaman for marshalling and the many parents who are behind the scenes week after week helping
at swimming training.
