Dear Parents & Carers,
Where has the year gone? It seems like only yesterday we welcomed in our new year 7 students and families, had our first cohort of year 9's and started digging up the grounds for our planned Stage 2 buildings. Here we are, nearly 12 months later, ready for our first senior school cohort of year 10 students with the new senior uniform, brand new buildings in the final stages of completion and about 190 new year 7 students ready to commence their high schooling with us in 2022.
This year has seen another significant milestone for our College and over the past few weeks I have been reminded once again what a great school we have and how much we have achieved in such a short period of time. One such example occurred 2 weeks ago when I had the privilege to attend the Premiers Coding Award ceremony held in the Brisbane Museum with 4 of our students. As a college, we won 3 out of a possible 4 award categories for Coding state-wide, an achievement never seen before in the history of the competition. All this we achieved in our first year of entering, competing against the competitions largest entry pool of over 599 entries. This combined with our students winning the State Finals in the eSports FUSE cup are just some of the many examples where our students are achieving excellence in a range of pursuits. Congratulations Mr Sogathur and his coding champions.
It is not only the State and National Awards that some of our students have achieved that has made our year great. Equally as pleasing has been the significant improvement and growth I have seen in our students academic, physical and mental maturity. Increasingly students have been attending Maths, English and homework tutoring clubs throughout the year in their own time. Students have stepped up to increase their responsibilities of learning in a high school setting and many students have significantly improved their grades and achievements through developing good study habits and practices. All of these small changes have made a big difference in your child's outcomes and I thank you as parents for encouraging and supporting your child through this process.
As our College continues to grow, we are constantly reviewing our existing processes to make sure that we are providing the best service possible to our families and students. As a result of this review process, next year we have changed the student management process for our students. Instead of students or parents speaking to a House Coordinator or House HOD; next year students and parents will have a Year Level Coordinator and HOD. This student management change will allow our students and families to have improved communication and access to support as we grow. Information on this student management change will be explained in the Deputy Principal - Cultural and Development article in this newsletter. We will also communicate this to the students in upcoming parades and access classes.
Another significant change for us in 2022 is the departure of Mr Ben Aloia, one of our foundation Deputy Principals. Ben has been seconded by the Department of Education to work in Central Office next year to oversee the State-wide roll out of the new GP in schools program. Mr Aloia will still have a connection to our college as we will be hosting a GP in our school onr day a week in 2022, however he will not be based in our College as he takes on this new state-wide role. As a result of this change, Mrs Angela Waugh will be the Acting Deputy Principal for Term 1, 2022 and Mr James Dunn the Acting HOD back-filling Angela. In term 2, 2022 we hope to appoint a long term Deputy Principal replacement for the remainder of the 2022 calendar year. I am sure you will join me in congratulating Mr Aloia in obtaining this new position and wish him all the best in this new endeavour.
As our year rapidly draws to a close I want to thank the many staff, students and parents for your support and partnership with us this year. I especially want to thank our P & C Executive team and members for their hard work and financial support throughout 2021. Together they have raised over $60,000, all of which has been directly invested back into our College. They have given up much time and energy to achieve this amazing result. It takes a lot of people and hard work to achieve the results that we have accomplished this year. We each have had a part to play and as we look forward to 2022, it is only by continuing to work together that we will build on these successes. Have a safe and happy Christmas holiday and thank you once again for helping us fulfil our motto of Achieving Excellence Together.
Yours Sincerely,
Brendan Krueger

We held our College Anzac Service on the 11th November. The Service was attended by a wide array of community members including Federal and State Members of Parliament and the Ipswich City Council Mayor and Councillors. Ex Warrant Officer, Mr Wayne Gibbens of the Royal Australian Airforce and Representative of Ipswich RSL Sub-Branch shared a moving speech which highlighted the sacrifices of those who have served and are currently serving in our Australian Defence Forces. Piper Adam Regnart added to the atmosphere with a rendition of Abide with Me performed amidst a backdrop of poppies.
Each year the number of students wishing to play a part in the Remembrance Day Service is growing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Defence Service Mentor Tracey Cooper for the great work that she does with the Defence Club. The Defence Club students played an active role in this years Service.
Year 9 Student, Jackson Sheen played a moving rendition of the Last Post on the trombone. This was a great performance which displayed great courage, particularly given that this is the first time Jackson has played the Last Post at school.
Leading up to Remembrance Day, Defence Services Mentor Tracey Cooper ran a competition where students were invited to write a poem on why Remembrance Day is important. 2022 College Captain Isaac Atabila's poem was selected as the winning entry. I am sure you will agree the poem displays a level of composition well beyond his years. Isaac shared his poem as part of the service. I have included Isaac's poem below.
Why Remembrance Day is Important – By Isaac Atabila
“Excuse me, sir, but why do you wear a poppy on your chest?”
“The poppies, child, are the flowers of remembrance.
For they carry semblance to the blood-soaked shores of Gallipoli.
Adorning the earthly tombs of the fallen”.
“And why do you wear a brown slouch hat?”
“For it is a symbol of our nation – a land free and fair.
A symbol I am proud to bear.”
The child departed with a bow; his curiosity satiated.
But as the sun set behind its crimson veil, the soldier
Shed a tear. There were tears of fear.
“The world is forgetting again.” His departing words
Heavy with grief before he too returned to his earthly
Tomb. But as his spirit moves on, shall his legacy never die,
For it lives on immemorial in our hearts. Lest we forget.
Orientation Day
Students commencing Year 7 in 2022 will join us for an Orientation Day on Friday the 3rd December. The Orientation Day will provide students with an opportunity to experience a 'day in the life' of a student at RVSSC. Faculties have some exciting activities planned for students to showcase their departments, including making slime in Science and creating bag tags in Design and Technology. The afternoon will conclude with parents/carers invited to join us for an afternoon tea commencing at 2.00 pm.
Student Laptops - end of year break

Transitions
Children, just like adults, experience feelings as they anticipate or react to transitions. Sometimes children will engage in challenging behaviours as a result of this anticipation. Sometimes they will react excited and others may become anxious and over-whelmed. Every feeling is valid. That is why it is so important that we support our young people, identify their feelings and build resilience in times of transition.
Parents can promote successful transitions by:
- checking in with their child about their feelings
- communicating with the school if they are concerned
- creating a predictable routine for school
- helping their child/ren feel safe and secure during these times.

RVSSC welcomed me at the start of Term 2, and as the year draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the year that was.
Sadly, we said farewell to Mrs Easdale and Ms Sipple, which was a huge loss for our faculty. With this loss, we welcomed Miss Champs and Ms Parish, whose contribution to our faculty has been invaluable, as are the contributions from all staff in our faculty. As a team, Ms Wellwood, Mr Sharma, Mrs Martins, Mrs Montel, Miss Champs and Ms Parish, have been working hard developing curriculum, and creating opportunities and experiences for our students. For this, I am both grateful and proud!
So, let’s look back on the year that was…
We have been feeding ourselves.
We have tested some ‘foods of the future’. Sampling cheese and bacon flavoured dehydrated mealworms and sour cream and chives flavoured dehydrated crickets. Our students studying Japanese have applied their reading skills to make sushi by following a recipe to make まきずし. We have taste tested an assortment of chocolate while considering the social implications of the cocoa trade. The 'Dark Intense 91%- Extra dark bittersweet chocolate' was not a winner!
Our Year 9 students ventured out to the Queensland Museum and enjoyed researching in the State Library. Our Year 7 Reader’s Cup team competed in the Qld Branch of the Children's Book Council of Australia’s 2021 Readers Cup Challenge at St Mary’s, Woodend, placing 12th overall.
We have been innovative in the classroom.
Our Year 9 Economics and Citizenship classes developed their enterprise skills building a spaghetti structure strong enough to hold their marshmallows – again with the food? Some of our Year 7’s prepared Pharaoh’s for burial – risky business given that toilet paper was in short supply during April! We flipped classrooms, (not literally) using student-centred learning to empower students to own their learning, and remove the reliance on the teacher as the only source of knowledge. Our students used the interactive TV’s to practice their hiragana.
After NAPLAN, Ms Mons Wolff’s year seven English Enrichment students mixed things up by collaborating in teams to create ‘Preposition Post-It Note Poems! We developed our note taking skills using visual notetaking, with some ‘horrifyingly’ excellent results.
We have thought about others.
Our College participated in the Write a Book in Day competition raising valuable money for the Kids Cancer Project while learning valuable skills about team work and time management, as well as practicing their narrative writing skills.
Our Japanese faculty launched the Inaugural Paper Cranes Project and our goal is to present our first cranes to a local charity or organisation in 2022. We established the English Homework Club which has grown each term – this term more than 120 students have attended during the assessment period!
WOW!! What a successful year it has been! I look forward to the challenges of 2022; welcoming our new Year 7 students and their families, and introducing six new subjects within our Year 10 Curriculum.
On behalf of the English, Humanities and Languages faculty, thank you for your support throughout the year. Have a safe and restful break – we look forward to working with you in the new year.

It is my absolute pleasure to write my final newsletter article for the year to celebrate the work of our students, staff and wider community. I am so proud of all of our school community in our 2nd year of establishment. We have confronted challenges with a positive, student-focused outlook, worked incredibly hard to build high quality curriculum and taught a great group of students.
The wonderful team within the Maths, Science and HPE departments include Mr James Dunn, Mr Justin Clifford, Mr Jarrod Harvey, Miss Christie McKendry, Mrs Jamei Pertzel, Miss Mary Mahipus, Mr Srikanth Sogathur and Mr Tim Barclay. This small team of teachers have overseen the successful running of these departments this year. We have written over 45 units of work, assessment items and curriculum alignment documents to ensure that our students are being delivered top quality curriculum that is aligned to the Australian Curriculum. Our priority was to ensure that our curriculum best prepares our students for their senior phase of learning.
We have created our Senior Pathways, with thoughtful consideration for success outcomes in whichever pathway your child chooses. We hosted a fantastic Science Week for all students and local primary school students to engage in the excitement of Science. In alignment with the HOD of Pathways, we have further developed the Ignite program to encourage the excellence pathways in STEM for 2022 and beyond.
The sports team, led by our wonderful sports coordinator James Dunn, have overseen the participation of Ripley Valley sporting teams/individuals across multiple different tournaments at school, district, regional and even state level. James works tirelessly to ensure our students have the opportunity to engage with as many tournaments as possible and be competitive in these fields.
I want to thank all of our teachers for their efforts in 2021. Thank you also to all parents/carers for your ongoing support and encouragement of your child and, most importantly, our students for showing up every day to improve their educational outcomes and strive for excellence!
I wish you all a wonderful and restful break, a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

DANCE
Our Dance classes have finished up the semester with submitting their choreography assessment. Year 7 students created their own Popular Dance routines and it was so great to see their ideas, planning and hard work come to life! In Year 7, Dance is compulsory so students get the chance to have a taste test of the subject before they go on to choose their electives in Year 9. This year's group of Year 7's have been eager to give Dance a go and we look forward to welcoming them back into Dance when they choose their Year 9 subjects.
Our Dance Squad has finished off the year on a massive high after they performed three routines at our Creative Industries Showcase in week 5. The students performed contemporary routine "Where the Heart is" and Hip Hop routine "Lemonade." To end the show our team debuted our new cheer uniforms in their Pom routine. RVSSC is looking towards including cheer into extra-curricular in 2023. In 2022 we will continue with our development of Pom.
SHOWCASE
We are delighted to have our school second inaugural Creative Industries Showcase 2021. This showcase is an important and unique opportunity to celebrate the creativity of our Ripley Valley State Secondary College students and build connections with our Primary schools. The showcase was held on Thursday the 4th on November with great success.
We are so proud of our students and the wonderful artworks that they have performed and submitted for the showcase. A special thank you to Ms Jessica Starkey who coordinated this year's showcase as our resident Dance teacher along with Mr Dale Ezzy, Music and Instrumental Teacher and Ms Candice Vidotto, Visual Arts Teacher. Our students demonstrated what 'Achieving Excellence Together' looks like in the Creative Industries Team.
Thank you to our wonderful school and wider community for all your support. We are excited to share with you what comes next in 2022.

Holidays can be fun but sometimes they can feel long. Organising activities can help your child’s connection with you and it will also make the holidays fly by. Plan inexpensive things to do (free if possible).
Here are some tips:
- You can visit museums and art galleries for a low-cost entry fee and some exhibitions are even free
https:/wwwwipswichartgalleryyqldd.gov.au/kids/
httpss:/wwwwqagomaaqldd.gov.au/whats-on/kids
httpss:/theworkshopss.qmqldd.gov.au/
- Go to the Ipswich Library website and read what activities are available in the holidays.
httpss:/wwwwipswichlibrariess.com.au/whats-on/children/
- Pack a lunch and go on a mystery walk in a nature reserve. Check out White Rock Nature reserve; walk on the foundations of the old castle in Blackstone; visit a farm or go fishing at College’s Crossing.

httpss:/wwwwipswichhqldd.gov.au/__data/assetspdff_file/0017/109016/Colleges-Crossing-Flyerpdff
httpss:/wwwweweniquehobbyfarmm.com.au/
- Take a train or bus trip to anywhere (a mystery destination makes it more fun). Take a picnic – get off and walk around – hop back on.
- Take the kids for a swim or just to veg out. The Lagoon at Orion is popular.
httpss:/wwwwipswichhqldd.gov.au/explore/parks_reserves_precincts/parks_searchorionn-lagoon
- Do some art work – make slime, make Christmas gifts or jewellery
httpss:/wwwwhunnyimhomediyy.com/gift-ideas-for-kids-to-make/
- If it’s hot go bowling, skating or to the movies
- It is the season to cook – but get the kids to do most of the stirring and measuring. Cook Christmas treats and make jam to give away as gifts
- Google: School holidays activities in your local area – you’ll be amazed what is happening around you.

DEFENCE NEWS
The final few weeks of 2021 has arrived already! Our students are now eagerly counting down to the Christmas holidays. There is definitely an air of anticipation both around the school and in the Defence Room.
On the 11/11, RVSSC held a Remembrance Day Commemoration. This years theme was “Remember to Remember”.
Defence students, Noah Burton, Amelie Graham, Sophie Russell and Mayah Tawns played an important role in our Commemoration by laying wreaths and reciting Flander's Fields and The Ode.
Jackson Sheen played The Last Post on his trombone. An accomplishment by anyone's standard.
Two ADF Student Representatives, Jackson Sheen and Kaylan Harris, accompanied Mr Krueger to the Ipswich RSL Commemoration on behalf of the Ripley Valley State Secondary College.
Many other Defence students willingly offered to help with the days events, and I would like to thank all of them for doing so. I was so proud of our Defence Student Community.
A notable mention must go to Isaac Atabila, who wrote and recited a beautiful poem. Isaac won the writing competition "Why I Think Remembrance Day Is Important". His insightful poem illustrated beautifully the importance of remembering those who have fought, sacrificed and died for the freedoms we enjoy today in Australia.
A big Thank You to the Student Council and staff who helped to sell poppies and badges during the week on behalf of the Ipswich RSL, to raise money for Veterans and their families. A truly noble cause.
I believe Remembrance Day is safe in the hands of the upcoming generation.
With assessments wrapping up for the year, Defence Club now turns its attention to the festive season ahead, with students making Christmas pillowcases and baubles to take home. A fun activity for everyone.
Week nine will see the last Defence Club for the year.
Defence Member and Family Helpline
Don’t forget that the Defence Member and Family Helpline is the first port of call for support to ADF families. Practical and emotional support is available from qualified human service professionals 24/7 by contacting 1800 624 608 or emailing memberandfamilyhelpline@defence.gov.au

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Scripture Union, the organisation that employs the chaplains here in Ripley Valley and in hundreds of schools across Queensland is also a camping organisation. If you are looking for something for your child to do over the holidays, following the link. https://sucamps.org.au/?season=summer
Chaplaincy Fundraiser
My role is heavily supported by the generous donations of people within our community, this enables me to stay at the college and to continue to do the work here within the college. On the 11th & 12th of December the Chaplaincy Service here at the college as well as the Primary School will be running a glow stick stall to raise funds for the service. The 11th of December we will be selling glowsticks at the Springfield Christmas Carols held at Robelle Domain.

If you have are free on any of those evenings, make sure you come down and say hi and enjoy a great community event.
Mentoring Program
In 2022 the Chaplaincy Service is planning to run a mentoring program here at the college. The mentoring program at the moment is planned to be run on a Wednesday afternoon for 1 hour. The mentoring program will bring is community people who will spend 1 on 1 time with a student within our community for 1 hour a week for the year. The mentor is a life mentor and will undergo child safety training by the College as well as SU. The mentor must be over 21 years of age and have a blue card to participate. The mentor will be able to do whatever the need of the student is as long as they stay in the college grounds and aren’t left in a closed off space.
This is a great way for the wider Ripley Community to be involved with the college and to help support students. If you want to be a mentor or if your child is someone who you think would benefit from this program, please contact me.
Chaplaincy Hotline
Chaplaincy Australia a chaplaincy organisation here in Australia earlier this month launched a hotline for people to call. The point of this hotline is to provide A safe and confidential forum that takes a holistic view of the person’s emotions, stressors, challenges and moral dilemmas, where they need not shy away from deeper questions about their life, their relationships, their faith or their sense of purpose. During this festive season or any time you need someone to talk to please call 1800chaplain or any other hotline to get help.

METROPOLITAN REGION INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM REVIEW
Education Qld are currently reviewing the Instumental Program in our region. For those families who have an interest in the music program, we would appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback so this amazing program can continue to grow.
We all deserve respectful, safe and non-violent environments, so aggression and harassment of any kind—physical, verbal or otherwise—isn't acceptable.
When you interact with school staff, remember we're all on the same team to support your child. We all have your child's best interests at heart, and the best way to achieve a positive learning experience is to work together.
