Paul Valese - Head of College
Over the past 2 weeks, every staff
member has undergone a Staff
Review. 145 reviews were done which
took 7 entire days. The reviews have
been an important part of planning for
2016, but more importantly speaking
to staff about the mission of the
College has been incredibly
encouraging.
Term 3 can become a grind. The cold
weather, illness, thinking of the
following year and pressures of
assessment can all become
overwhelming to the point of
questioning, ‘what is this all about?’
The Staff Reviews answered this
question over and over again – to
prepare students for life in the world
and eternity.
Staff are committed to preparing your
children for the future. After
individually sitting and talking with all
145 staff, this was the clear message
from everyone.
Mueller College is unashamedly
Christian and ‘to prepare students for
life in the world and eternity’ is only
half the mission statement. The
second half of the mission statement
is to prepare students ‘through Biblical
principles in a distinctly Christian
environment’. We are blessed to have
a Gospel focussed staff who are
passionate about seeing students
discover who they are and where they
fit in to the world.
Excellent education is key to all we
do. The overall purpose of the reviews
was to ensure that we continue to
provide an excellent education and
find areas of refinement for 2016.
The next few years are going to be an
exciting time at Mueller. We are
committed to providing the best in
Christian education to grow the next
generation.

MUELLER PRIMARY ATHLETICS TEAM
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations to Erika and Trent Newton for their outstanding achievements at the
Southern Cross International Judo Championships held last week. Erika was awarded
First place. Also, in the Australian National Judo Championships, held in June this
year in Wollongong, Erika claimed 3rd
place. Earlier in the year the siblings claimed
1st and 2
nd in their respective age groups in the Queensland international Open Judo
Championships.
Both Erika and Trent have achieved some great results this year, and we wish them
all the best for their upcoming Queensland State Championships in Innisfail next week.
Well done!
A huge CONGRTULATIONS to our Mueller Primary Athletics Team, for coming out the 2105 Redcliffe District
Athletics Champion School!
The district athletics carnival was held last Thursday and Friday 13th & 14th August. We sent 48 students to compete
over the 2 days, and 15 of those students got selected for the district team to compete at regionals. This is the first
time Mueller Primary has won a district athletics carnival, so what a huge achievement. Every student involved
should be very proud. Well done!

TUCKSHOP ORDERS
Dear Parents, it would be much appreciated if you are able to send the correct money with your child’s tuckshop
order (or as close as possible). If in the event you need to send a $20 note or larger, and your child’s order will result
in needing more than $10 change, this amount will be kept at the tuckshop for collection by the parent and will not be
sent home with the child. There have been recent occasions where the excessive change has been given to the
child but has not reached home. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Angie Tester | Tuckshop Convener & Darren Gynther | Head of Primary
EARN & LEARN
Woolworths EARN & LEARN is back! Shop at Woolworths and you’ll get 1 Earn & Learn
Sticker for every $10 you spend. Stick them on a Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker Sheet.
You can pick one up from your local Woolies store or download. Once you’ve filled your Sticker
Sheet, pop it into a Collection Box at the Front Office.
We have had a few cases of Impetigo (school sores) recently.
QLD Health Guidelines state that children should stay home from school or day care until they have received
appropriate antibiotics for at least 24 hours. Weeping or crusted sores on exposed areas should always be covered
with a watertight dressing for as long as practical.
What is Impetigo? - Impetigo is an infection of the skin caused by bacteria. These bacteria can live on the
skin, in the throat or nose, or on other parts of the body without causing a problem but sometimes they start to cause
an infection such as impetigo. Impetigo is not usually a serious infection, but it is easily spread.
Impetigo can occur on healthy skin but it often happens when the skin has already been damaged by a scratch, bite
or other sore.
Signs and Symptoms - Impetigo may start with a blister or a group of blisters. The blister bursts leaving a patch of
red, wet skin which weeps. The spot usually becomes coated with a tan or yellowish crust, making it look like it has
been covered with honey.
Impetigo is usually itchy.
How is it spread? - The sore is itchy and children can scratch it, often spreading the infection to nearby skin
or to other parts of their own body. The fluid and crusts of the sore contain the bacteria. Contact with the sore or with
things that have been on the sore (e.g. clothing, dressings, towels etc.) can spread the infection to other people.
Treatment – A child with impetigo needs to be checked by a doctor to be sure that it is impetigo; and because some-
times an antibiotic medicine is prescribed. Try to prevent your child scratching the sores as much as possible. Cover
the sores with a watertight dressing and cut your child's fingernails. Continue medical treatment until all sores are
healed.
For further information on minimum exclusion periods for infectious conditions, please see https://

CYC BURLEIGH CAMPS
Are you facing challenges that you’re struggling to make sense of? Are you experiencing life changes, transitions or
loss? Loss is something we all experience sometime in our lives. Loss isn’t just losing somebody close, but can
include loss of home, relationship, job, health, dreams and expectations to name a few. Counselling allows a safe
place to voice your thoughts, fears and feelings. Voicing them to another often enables you to see things from a
different perspective.
Friends and family members can be a great support to us, but are often unable to provide an objective point of view.
A counsellor won’t tell you what to do, but may help you consider choices, decisions and changes to enable you to
live your life more fully. Counselling doesn’t need to be long-term – in fact a single session may be all that’s needed.
Sometimes, though, more is needed over a period of weeks or months. We all differ, face different circumstances
and have differing needs, so respect and confidentiality are assured.
Mueller Community Church Counsellor, Jenny Billingham is available for parents, families, students and
staff at Mueller College.
Phone 3897 2706 or 0427 876 396 for an appointment. (Please leave a message if the phone is unattended
and your call will be returned at the earliest convenience).
