Week 6 Term 1 2020
Although in many respects the 2020 school year is just starting, interviews for students commencing in 2021 have begun. This process takes place over a number of months. Where applications have been submitted, we will be in contact to organise an interview. It’s important that applications for siblings are received very soon, if not already. If someone you know is considering Good Shepherd in 2021, suggest they contact us for further information and a tour at a time that suits them. As there are significant waiting lists for a number of year levels and likely to be in others, it is important that applications are received as soon as possible. A consistent theme in enrolment interviews is the recommendation of Good Shepherd by current families and students. Thank you! Following the recent Independent District Swimming Carnival, ten Good Shepherd students in the 9-12 years age category and thirteen students in the 13-19 years age category represented Good Shepherd at this week’s Sunshine Coast Regional Swimming Trials. While we will share specific achievements in coming days, indications are that a number of students have qualified for the 2020 Swimming State Championships. Congratulations to all swimmers on their achievements, their sportsmanship and their full and enthusiastic participation. Thank you also to the parents of our swimmers for your significant and ongoing support of your child’s swimming. One Tuesday 17 March, parents and students of Year 10 will learn more about the Googa outdoor education experience. The four weeks spent at Googa are regularly identified by graduating Year 12s and past students as a highlight of their time at Good Shepherd. Along with other camps and trips, Googa aims to develop students’ capacity to respond to challenges and provides opportunities for them to grow in their relationships with each other, staff and God.

Kokoda Challenge Brisbane 2020
This year fifteen teams have registered to represent the College in the Brisbane Kokoda Challenge on Saturday the 6 June 2020. The roots of the Kokoda Challenge events lie in the Kokoda campaign of World War II, and the bravery and sacrifice our Australian Diggers displayed to hold off the Japanese invasion of Papua New Guinea from 1942 - 1945. The part our heroes played almost certainly protected Australia from direct invasion. The Kokoda Challenge events are not for the faint hearted. They are all about supporting your mate to the end, pushing yourself beyond your limits and achieving something you thought could never be possible. This event embodies the Kokoda Spirit of Mateship, Courage, Endurance, Sacrifice. What’s it all about? The Kokoda Challenge takes four students and one team leader (teacher or parent) through either the 15km, 30km or 48km route. The event starts and finishes at Brookfield Primary School and teams follow a set course though the D’Aguilar National Park. Teams can be mixed; all girls or all boys…it doesn’t really matter, as long as they get along well with each other and are willing to support each other through the ups and downs! Thanks in advance to the all the parents and teachers who will be generously giving up their time to organize and prepare our teams for the BIG day!

Great effort on a very humid day, starting at 8am in the morning and finishing his last game at around 7pm. The tournament convenor congratulated Harry on his efforts under trying conditions. Congratulations to all of the above students for their excellent results and enthusiastic participation.
Pastor’s Pastures
Celebrating God’s Love Together
In week 4 we were very excited to host the annual Sunshine Coast Schools Ecumenical worship service in our chapel here at Good Shepherd. Students and staff from 17 other schools in our region joined us in a time of worship based on the theme: Servant Leadership. There was a great sense of having our own unique identity as a College, but also being part of a bigger network of surrounding schools and the unity we share as God’s people. Despite the warm conditions, students and staff were keen to chat afterwards at morning tea in the shade. There was a lively and friendly vibe about the whole event!
Students from a number of the schools attending led various parts of the service, our own Spiritual Life Captains and worship band included. Our focus helped us grow in an appreciation of the nature of servant leadership, with Jesus washing his disciple’s feet as the great example of love and a readiness to stoop low, laying aside one’s own needs for the sake of others. While we won’t likely host one of these again for at least a decade, I feel that our ‘turn’ left us all feeling edified by our time together in God’s presence. I trust we could all return to our respective schools inspired by Jesus instruction to love one another as he has loved us.

Voices on the Coast
Excursion to a Literary Festival
At the end of Week 4, the Year 5 students and a selection of Year 6 and Year 7-12 students enjoyed a fabulous day at the Voices on the Coast Literary Festival. The Year 5 children loved all three authors and they felt very lucky to have the opportunity to spend the day there. All the tips they collected from the authors will now be put to use in their English lessons and applied to their own writing. Highlights for the Year 7-12 students included a talk on research by George Ivanoff, a writing workshop with dystopian author Mark Smith, spending too much money at the bookstore, a hilarious session with poet Steven Herrick, a lecture with the very popular Lynette Noni, and an interactive storytelling session with local Indigenous author, Gregg Dreise.
Year 6 students enjoyed the sessions with the very funny Tim Harris and talks by Jacqueline Harvey and Pip Harry. All students also had the opportunity to have their books signed by the authors and chat to them between sessions, while enjoying the sunshine at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
The Voices on the Coast Literary Festival encourages students to be active readers, engages them with creative writing and provides them with the opportunity to learn from successful Australian authors and illustrators. “I really enjoyed Tim Cope. He had an interesting story to tell about his 10,000km journey. I enjoyed it because of the aspect of adventure and living like a nomad .” - Zachariah, Year 8 “I really liked Morris Gleitzman, he was super funny and nice. I also really liked Gregg Dreise, he was funny and his life story was very interesting.” - Shamus, Year 7 “Mark Smith was great, and so was Lynette Noni “ - Cooper, Year 7 “I had a great time, thanks to everyone.” - Ella, Year 7 “So, Voices on the Coast was awesome! Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity! I would definitely go and see Steven Herrick again. He was so funny and his poems are amazing. He didn't make anyone feel un-comfortable when he interacted with the audience but he made them feel at ease. Gregg Driese was also really good. I enjoyed listening to him and learning about his past. He was really funny and interactive.” - Alana, Year 10.

From the Head of Junior Years
I came across this article a few years ago and it has always stuck with me. I must admit I saw aspects of myself in it, particularly at the end of the article when it talks about the ‘dad chat’ on the car ride home, definitely something that I still have to think about, and work on!!!!
The real reason why our kid's quit sport
WHAT do you reckon is one of the main reasons most kids quit sport? While you're pondering, let's absorb this stat from the US: Each year 20 million children register for baseball, soccer, football, hockey and other competitive sports; about 70 per cent of those will quit by age 13. Also according to the National Alliance for Sports, these kids will never play those sports again. Never. Never is an awfully long time. While you are standing on the sidelines of the cricket/netball/hockey/rowing this morning before you drive off to another sideline on the other side of town, do you think your child will be among the 30 per cent who stick at it? Well, going by research, if you are a yeller, probably not. Children hate mothers and fathers shouting loudly on the sideline of junior sports events, especially their own. I met a man in the butcher's shop (where all good gossip happens) and he's talking about his latest efforts coaching junior teams for his three kids - rugby, league and hockey. This is an intelligent, skilled, thoughtful junior coach out there in the nice suburbs of Brisbane. "Every weekend I am called names, on the sideline, in a car park full of Mercedes and BMWs. Even in front of their kids." Parents. We're just fantastic creatures, aren't we? We tell our kids how much we do for them, driving them everywhere for sport, buy all the gear so they look like mini-professionals - 10-year-olds in $300 boots and top-line $150 compression gear "to reduce lactic acid and muscular fatigue" - and what's it all about really? If we're honest, it's ego. Not the kids'. The parents' ego. Deep down, if we interrogate our motives, what starts off as wanting our children to be active and learn to love physical activity can sometimes morph into something else. What's all that hoopla about sons in the first XI and first XV stuff? Yes, it's admirable to strive to sporting excellence. But when I first moved to Brisbane and realised actual grown-up men were standing around at a party talking and obsessing over that kind of thing, I had to check: "You are talking about your KIDS' sport, aren't you?" When I was growing up, parents mostly didn't really hang around. They dropped you and went off to take care of the other 10 kids in the family. Or did other grown-up things like earn a living, shop for groceries or go to the pub.
Mostly we played sport unwatched. The ref wasn't screamed at and abused by hostile parents. We played our sport for ourselves - basically for the fun of running around a paddock with our mates. Someone who has spent his life playing and coaching sport and pondering how to retain young athletes in sport for life is Peter Gahan, head of player and coach development with Australia Baseball, after years at Queensland Academy of Sport. I rang him to pick his brains about kids and sport (in a month of Bernard Tomic's father assault charges and Nudgee College's steroid scandal) and to ask: "Where has all the fun gone?" Fun needs to be at the very heart of sport, says Gahan. Even at the elite level, he says, research now shows all athletes need a fun activity in their training session. He says countries must walk the fine line of wanting elite sportspeople while encouraging mass participation. "Research looking at 8000 schoolchildren in the UK revealed that the perceived lack of competency and ability stopped them from playing. They wanted to impress and look good but they couldn't, they gave up," Gahan says. "A lot of the research on childhood obesity points at the fact that the kids are eating the same amount of calories as their fitter counterparts. They are just not moving. They are sitting in front of a TV or computer." So, why do most kids quit sport? Well, one of the main reasons, apart from the obvious ones - didn't like the coach, not enough time, too much pressure - is one parents don't want to think about: The car ride home. The car ride home after playing sport can be a game-changer. Whether you are five or 16, the journey from ground to home can be a non-stop parent teaching moment. Whether you've played well or lousy, your dad can let you know what you should have done. Should have run when you should have passed, should have kicked. He becomes one of those shoulda-coulda-woulda dads. Mum goes off about the netball umpire, and your coach not giving you enough playing time, Yep, that car ride home can be pure joy. If you can, try not to stuff up the car ride home, Gahan says. The car ride home is when the kid just wants to quietly let the game sink in - whether a win or a loss. They know if they've played well or badly. You don't need to tell them. The car's a pretty intense closed environment. They can sense your every thought, disappointment, anger, even a bit too much pride. It's all there, crowding in. Every sigh, every shrug is amplified. So, I ask, what do you say on the car ride home? Gahan says: "What about, 'geez, I love watching you play out there'?" Kathleen Noonan

Crazy Hair Day/Free Dress Day On Friday 13th March, the Junior School (Prep-Year 5) will be having a Crazy Hair Day as part of the World’s Greatest Shave (to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation). Students will be able to wear clips, scrunchies and crazy hairstyles on this day for a two dollar gold coin donation. It is requested that the students do not colour their hair, unless they use a product that washes out at the end of the day. Students are also allowed to wear free dress and go crazy with their hair, or just free dress on its own. Let’s see who can be the funkiest!!!!!
We also have our own Poppy Wright in Year 4 who has been growing her hair for over a year in preparation for the World’s Greatest Shave. She has grown it to the required length so it can be donated to help make a wig for someone who has lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment. She is hoping to raise as much money as she can to help families in the fight against blood cancer. All donations to this great cause are really appreciated.'

Year 7 Incursion Last Wednesday, our Year 7 cohort, had a different type of school day and they didn’t mind at all! With the majority of students quite happy to have a day where they didn’t need to focus on tests or assignments. The students were challenged to work together in various teams, trying to achieve a common goal through a range of team building activities.
With a large number of students joining the cohort, it was an ideal opportunity to bring them together to break down some barriers, meet new students and allow friendships to develop.
According to the feedback, it’s fair to say they would recommend the programme to continue: It was a great opportunity to get to know other's
I don't usually hang with and create new friendships.
It was just really fun and a great way to make new friends
I loved being put in different groups that didn't have all my friends so i could make new friends. The activities were lots of fun and exciting.
Everyone in our group (the Bears) was working together in the Domino challenge and having a great time instead of against each other in smaller groups.
Because everybody in our group was having fun and laughing. Everybody seemed to enjoy it and, although we didn't come first, it was a lot of fun.
The teamwork and communication in the pipe line activity was very rewarding for me because sometimes I have trouble talking to the opposite gender, in this activity there were girls in my group and I had time to man up and communicate with them!
I learnt a lot about working in a team and that it is not all about winning it is about having fun with your friends and experiencing this great opportunity.
I would like to thank the teachers for putting that amazing day together yesterday.
I had an amazing time and I am so grateful that we have awesome teachers to put this fun event on to make new friends, work as a team and most importantly, having fun!

Brisbane Lions Visit
On Tuesday some Year 6 and 7 students were able to hone their AFL skills with 4 x Hawks Premiership winner Grant Birchall and up and coming local Jack Payne, who were both representing the Brisbane Lions during their community days.
We had a great experience training with some great AFL players.
We enjoyed learning the basic skills and how to put it into action. We focused on the handball and how to kick, before putting those skills into a game situation.
Before they said goodbye, we were able to ask them a few questions about being in the AFL and the challenges they faced. All this was very interesting.
We had a great amount of fun and wish to do it again.

2020 Clean Up Australia Day
A day dedicated to helping the environment
On Sunday the 1st of March, 45 students and staff members gathered in the early morning at Noosa Woods to help clean up the local area. We found all sorts of interesting items, ranging from wheelie bins in the water to a lone AirPod. In small groups, we split up to cover as much ground as possible, to be able to maximise our short time. After two and a half hours, we collected an estimated total of 40kg of rubbish, filling just over 7 bags - time well spent! While we were searching for more rubbish, some of us came across a python feasting on a mother possum. Sadly one baby was trapped alive in her pouch and another scared and alone in a tree. A few of us took it upon ourselves to call for help and rescue the babies. By the end of the session, we all came to the realisation that we had all willingly given up our time for the same reason: to help maintain our environment. This group of like-minded people all had the same goal in mind, which made the day very successful. Organised by the Senior Leader Environmental Group, Clean Up Australia Day for 2020 was highly beneficial for everyone involved.

How is EFM Noosaville different to a normal gym?
Personalised Training:
EFM’s unique Personalised Training is far more effective than the generic ‘do it yourself’ approach offered at most gyms. It’s like having a personal trainer but at a fraction of the cost. We push you, motivate you, and ensure you get the best out of yourself every session. Having an instructor guide you through your fitness program ensures you’re spending your time effectively, which means you’ll get better results, faster. Our Personalised Training also significantly reduces your chance of injury. We make sure you use proper form and technique 100% of the time, therefore minimising your chance of injury.
Workout Variety:
Any fitness program needs variety to continue being effective. If you work out regularly, it’s easy to slip into habits of doing the same exercises, sets and repetitions each time. If you repeatedly perform the same exercise, your body can adapt to this stimulus in as little as six weeks. If you don’t mix up your routine, your fitness will plateau and will no longer see or feel your body changing.
To maintain a healthy and challenging exercise program, it’s imperative to diversify your workouts with a variety of activities. At EFM, we ensure no two workouts are the same. We utilise as many different aspects of fitness as we can, aerobic training, weightlifting, boxing, interval training, circuit training, body weight training, and so much more. This means you and your body will always have a new challenge. The chance of plateau is eliminated, and you will never get bored!
EFM Culture:
EFM offers a culture like no other gym or health club. It goes so much further than the welcoming ‘hello’ as you walk through the doors. Our members feel like the club is their second home. The community environment at EFM gives people the chance to bond and many of our members have become firm friends. This means that there are always friendly faces at the club to welcome, motivate, and challenge you. This just does not hap-pen in generic gyms. I may be biased as an EFM coach, but from my ten years within the fitness indus-try, the culture of EFM is just unmatched. Want to find out if EFM is the right fit for you? Call or message Kate today to book in your first session – 0434944987 or visit efm.net.au/club/Noosaville or come and visit us upstairs in the GSLC HPE centre (we are really friendly!)
