a grandmother, a friend, a mentor and importantly, a loyal and humble pilgrim. I announced at the Presentation Nights that in recognition of Toni’s service to the school, there would be a new award given to a member of the school community on the School’s Foundation Day each July. The Toni Lanphier Excellence in Service Award will be given to a staff member, student or parent who has exemplified the type of service and contribution that Toni has made during her time at Cathedral. I know that Toni will continue to have a strong relationship with her former school and workplace and we will be seeing much of her in the years to come. As I said to her, she will have to come and present her award on Foundation Days. My thanks to all of those staff and students who have contributed to the Dawn this year. It is a critical part of the school’s history and a publication that people will return to peruse and reflect throughout their lives. My particular thanks to Mrs Amanda Peake on her first Dawn, and possibly (probably not) the last proofreading for Mrs Toni Lanphier. Our oldest child’s graduation is an end of an era for the Gamack family, but our excitement for both her future and the future of our School remains firmly intact. Our daughter will happily return as a past student and our community will welcome her cohort back with open and very sincere arms. MR I A N G A M AC K P R I N C I PA L

REPORTS
that parents and guardians who are sending their children to this School are making a great sacrifice, having regard to the additional cost impost of education at independent schools such as Cathedral, compared with what it may be in other systems of education. We are very aware that “value for money” is paramount in considering choice of schooling and when you pay at the higher level you must expect, and receive, the “best” education that can be provided for each child. “Best” doesn’t mean, “best academic outcomes”, or “best sporting results”, or “best pastoral care”, or “best facilities”, or “best cultural or other extra-curricular activities”. What it means is focus on leading outcomes in all of those together, with a reliable direction that the delivery of such an all-encompassing education remains forward thinking and ahead of the contemporary and therefore achieves the “best” life outcomes for students, individually and collectively. This is what provides “value for money”. So I wish to assure the school community that we do have at the forefront of our minds the financial sacrifices which are made (particularly in the difficult economic climate in this region over the past years) so that students can attend this school and that educational outcomes across all facets for each individual should, in combination, be the “best”. I take this opportunity to thank all members of the wider School community for making 2018 another wonderful and progressive year in the life of The Cathedral School and to wish all in that community a happy, holy and very safe Christmas with family and loved ones.

One of the most competitive yet most enjoyable aspects of The Cathedral School is the House system, with all of the carnivals and competitions that occur each year. It is so rewarding from a School Captain’s perspective to see all students make the most of these opportunities to get involved and perhaps step out of their comfort zone. In the first semester, all students participate in the Interhouse Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics carnivals.

C H APEL CAP TA IN ’S REP ORT Although it saddens me greatly to think that I am leaving the schooling chapter of my life behind, I have come to accept and trust that “when one door shuts, God opens another.” With faith in God’s strength, forgiveness and love, there is hope for all of us, graduating or otherwise, to live happy and contented lives. However, it is important to remember that a happy life must not be mistaken for a perfect life. While we live in this Over the past year, I have had the privilege of being the School Chapel Captain.

enjoying the flow-on effect from the centenary year with past students keen to see their name on The Connection Place and see the school. This year we celebrated 60 years since the school’s move to Mundingburra and I have taken the time to reflect on the foresight the Sisters had to purchase a block of land in the 1950’s and relocate the school to its current location in 1958. It was great to have Mary Gallagher speak about the move to Mundingburra at our Reunion Dinner this year.
The joint PSA and P&F Cocktail Night by the Lagoon was a huge success with over one hundred past students and current families attending. Our annual school tour and reunion dinner was held on Saturday. The smaller numbers this year made for a more intimate dinner in the Rock Centre. Our Year 12 scholarship holder Chelsea Lillecrapp was our guest speaker talking about her time at The Cathedral School. We were also privileged to have Mary Gallagher speak to us about the move

The rides again proved popular and record numbers experienced the Haunted House. A big thank you to Johanna Richardson, our Carnival Coordinator, for her tireless effort in making this years carnival so successful. Overall, the profit for the carnival this year exceeded $20,000. The P&F has made donations across all areas of the school; this includes 2018 has been a very successful year, full of events and social opportunities. However it is quickly coming to an end and I’d like to take this opportunity to share some of our achievements and thank everyone involved. Firstly I would like to thank our Past President Mrs Margot Stanton for her contribution as President from 2014-2017. We have been extremely lucky to have Margot still as an active committee member this year. Margot has always been there to lend a hand or provide valuable guidance and support in my first year as President.

A N ZAC DAY School Chapel Captain, Emily Butson, delivered the moving address below on ANZAC Day. It’s easy to get carried away by dreaming about what we want out of life. Maybe it’s fame, money, intelligence, good looks. Maybe it’s dreams to travel and have exciting experiences. We all want these things – I know I certainly find myself wishing for these. But when ANZAC Day comes around every year, I hear lots of stories of brave men and women who sacrificed a lot. I don’t hear stories of the richest or the smartest or the most good-looking

G RANDPARENTS’ DAY A highlight on the Junior School calendar is Grandparents’ Day closing out a very productive Semester 1. Grandparents’ Day 2018 was an overwhelming success with students welcoming their grandparents and special friends into the school community to celebrate and acknowledge the very important role that grandparents play in families. A highlight this year was the emotional scenes in Year 6 where grandparents and students alike quickly realised this would be their last Grandparents’ Day. Some grandparents have been coming to the school for this very special event for the last seven years. We quickly seized this opportunity to invite all of them back to the school next year as Adopt-aGrandparents for those children whose grandparents were unable to attend. On behalf of the students and the Junior School Community, thank you to all Grandparents and Special Friends for the role you play in our lives. We are a product of you, the morals and the values you have instilled in our family structures. You guide us with your wisdom and most of all we cherish your unconditional LOVE!

IN TER NATIONAL VISITOR S Each year, The Cathedral School welcomes overseas visitors into our community, and they provide wonderful opportunities for cultural exchange and friendship with our staff, student and families. In July, 16 students and 2 teachers from Foshan No 1 School in China spent a week at our school, participating in English language classes each morning and spending the second half of the day in Year 10 classes with
their volunteer buddies. The Chinese students also enjoyed an indigenous cultural experience and made their own chopsticks in the Technology Room. In August, 8 students from Sakuragaoka, our Japanese Sister School, visited and they added a genuine language and cultural dimension to many Japanese classes during their stay, as well as learning about school life in Australia. Thanks to the friendly buddies and many generous families who have hosted these

The children also celebrated Father’s Day and invited their Dads to a beautiful morning tea. They participated in Science Week and did some science experiments, celebrating Book Week with a dress up day as their favourite book character and were creative by making art for the Art Extravaganza. The children celebrate everyday as they grow bigger and brighter with the wonderful support from families and educators. They created so many memories in 2018, and achieved so many developmental milestones in preparation for a challenging year ahead.

In June, Mrs Emma Ogilvie became the Lead Educator in the room after Mr Scott left the Service. Since then, the educators have watched the children mature over the months as they met their milestones and reached their goals. Group sessions were introduced, during which the children loved engaging in stories, singing, counting and learning. Some children have even participated in Show and Share.
Over the year, the children have had many different interests such as gardening, caring for our pet snails, learning about animals, doing art and dancing and dressing up was a clear favourite. The children developed their self-help skills along the way, learning to put their own dress-ups on or developing their language

Educators and teachers alike have been introducing the notion of “I Wonder…” to provoke curiosity and the desire to learn more. Kindergarten was involved in the Wonder Walk expo at the end of Term 3 which exemplified this idea through displays of their learning, which in turn elicited many ‘I Wonder’ questions from the passers-by. “Walker Learning places an emphasis upon relationships between teacher and child and family. It views the child holistically and values emotional and social life as important as the academic.” Kath Walker This quote from one of the founders

It is our commitment to the children in our care that we look ahead and plan with great anticipation and energy to find ever better ways of extending learning opportunities for each student.

We had the privilege of staying at the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) and had the best time experiencing and learning about Canberra. What made the trip extra special was visiting Old Parliament House and getting dressed up in costumes to put ourselves in the place of politicians in the past. Term 2 started with our annual ANZAC Day March on The Strand. Cathedral students marched with pride in remembrance of the soldiers and volunteers who fought for our country. Next up was the Junior School Musical 'Giants in the Sky'. All of the talented students worked hard and gave up their weekends for rehearsals. This resulted in two spectacular performances which the audience thoroughly enjoyed, not to mention how awesome everyone looked in their costumes.

But the greatest thing about it was a new thing called Camp Compassion. I was proud to be a part of this team building and problem-solving program that encourages resilience and flexibility. There are some crazyfun things involved. The point of this camp is to feel what it’s like to not get everything given to you, you have to work for them yourself.

In Term 1 we were really interested in space travel. Astronauts Alexander Finlay and Harry Cassidy-Cox built a space ship to go to Mars.
In Term 2 Gracie brought in caterpillars and we observed the life cycle of a butterfly. Then in Term 3 we found a huge hawk moth caterpillar in one of our pot plants. We watched it build a cocoon, then after 30 days it hatched. There was great excitement in Prep C when we found the moth sitting on one of the leaves of the plant.
The Prep Café was very busy at Easter time. We served coffee, tea, hot cross buns, cupcakes and Easter eggs.
In Term 2 Mrs McLeod went on holidays and Mrs Pedley was our teacher. Highlights were celebrating Mother’s Day with a Ma Spa and celebrating Grandparents’ Day at the end of Term 2.
In Term 3 we celebrated Science Week with lots of cool experiments. Here Charlotte Pond, Ronya Pracher and Monty McLean experiment with bi-carb soda and vinegar.
In Term 3 we went to Rowes Bay as part of our Math Investigation Sandcastles. We loved building sandcastles using 3D shapes. We hid hermit crabs in the castles. It was an awesome morning of fun. Thank you to the parents who came along and helped.

YE AR 5 T, C & S TERM 1 This year we were introduced to the Flexible Learning Space, which includes a variety of learning spaces and seating options. These include a grandstand, fish bowl and smaller quiet rooms. This is the first time that this year group has had the privilege of using this space and have thoroughly enjoyed it! One of our favourite maths activities this year was the M&M challenge (changed to the Skittle challenge), where we were given a tube of treats and told to make our own math problems. Once we had all finished the problems we were rewarded by being allowed to sample our tasty treats. This term, we started Interschool sports and were given the choice between netball, hockey or rugby. We were able to learn new skills in these sports then compete against other schools each Friday.
TERM 2 We were very fortunate to have Ranger Dan come and visit Year 5 to share his knowledge around our science learning intention - Animal Adaptations. He shared with us reallife examples of animals such as snakes, lizards, crocodiles, possums and different species of geckos. Each student also had the opportunity to hold and pat a baby crocodile. This term also saw us complete our second ever NAPLAN Test. All of Year 5s who completed the test tried their very best after filling up on a delicious breakfast that Mr Baills and the teachers put on for us. We were very lucky to have many grandparents join us for Grandparents’ Day on the last day of Term 2. This was a fantastic opportunity to share with our loved ones our new learning space and talk to them about our Education Research Projects.

The most exciting activity of the year was camp!!! It was one of the best camps we’ve been on. This camp was really all about team building and leadership activities which was great fun.

Mr Tonner also came in to talk about what good leaders do and spoke to us about trust and working together to do amazing things. Our last guest speaker was Claudia Brassard, coach of the Townsville Fire. She shared with us the importance of valuing each member of the team and how you are only as good as the player next to you.

J U NIO R SCHOOL CLASSR OOM M USIC As we near the end of 2018, it’s a great chance to reflect on the many amazing opportunities available to students within the school community. They have participated in a variety of performances, both as the performer and the audience, and have continued to broaden their development as musicians. Classroom Music lessons follow an aural approach to learning and the development of knowledge and skills is sequential and developmental. Each lesson, students continue to learn by singing, moving, and playing. Classroom percussion instruments are used across all year levels and students from Years 3 to 6 also learn either recorder or ukulele. Grandparents’ Day is always a highlight on the calendar, and this year was no exception. Students from Kindy to Year 6 sang a variety of genres, with classics from The Coasters, John Denver song, Busby Marou, and of course, Mr Baills’ starring role as the Damper Thief! Thank you to all Grandparents and Special Friends for your support of this cherished school event. Term 3 ended with a successful Townsville Eisteddfod. All students represented the school with pride and it was fantastic to see the growth of these ensembles since their performances earlier in the year. Well done to all performers! The year finished with a bang – with Years 4 to 6 concluding the year with performances at Presentation Night and Kindy to Year 3 closing the year with a very merry Christmas Concert. 2018 has been an amazing year filled with many performance opportunities and learning. The commitment and dedication demonstrated by students and families is incredible – thank you to each and every one of you. I look forward to sharing another year of music making with you in 2019!

C H R IST IAN EDUCATION Being new to my role this year, I was filled with trepidation as to what it involved on a long term basis and whether I could even manage‌ after Mrs Meers was an icon in the school and had been for many years. However, thanks to the support of the wonderful staff in the Junior School, and the beautiful welcome of the children, I have had a very fast, but fun and exciting year. We spent one term on the New Testament, two on the Old Testament visiting and getting to know Abraham’s family and hearing about their ventures in and out of Egypt as well as learning how God always fulfils his promises - although perhaps not always in the way and time that we expect! Finally, Term 4 saw us delving back into the New Testament once more in the approach to Christmas. I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to get know the children of the Junior School as well as getting to visit the Early Learning Centre through 2018. I think I know pretty much all the names now throughout the Junior School - go me! I have loved working with both my Chapel Leaders, Yasmin and Sharni, and been super impressed with how the two girls have stepped up and taken on the leadership, bringing with them their own style of creativity combined with a heart and compassion for others. Truly, we are blessed by fantastic children and families in a wonderful school. I look forward to seeing what 2019 brings us. MR S TERRI TALBOT ASS I STA N T CHAP LA IN IN JUNI OR SCHOO L

This year we have been privileged to have Mayu sensei, our Japanese assistant teacher, and the students from our sister school, Sakuragaoka High School in Yamaguchi Prefecture visit the Junior School Japanese classes. Student also got the chance to experience Japanese taiko drumming with a visit from the Toko-ton Drumming performers. Year 5 and 6 students have been introduced to language learning with AIM (Accelerative Integrated Methodology). The program uses a gesture approach, a technique that uses hand signs to help students learn and remember important vocabulary. Students have dramatically increased their ability to recall and use the Japanese language as a result of this program. Year 2 students can now use a variety of colour adjectives to talk about the four seasons in Japan. Students have also learnt the Japanese version of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” which they performed on Grandparents’ Day. Year 4 have enjoyed learning about Japanese Homes and Families. They learnt how to address family members and the etiquette required when visiting a Japanese home. Once again our students participated in Townsville’s annual Japanese Speech Competition.

Students develop a capacity for careful, critical observation of their world through thinking about real objects. We believe that critical observation is important.

Process. Kath Murdoch (2015) states that all effective inquiry teachers make it their business to wonder and to invite and nurture wonder in their students. We began our work around Inquiry Based Learning in 2008 and are now refining it through our Walker Learning Approach. Wonder allows children to tap into their natural curiosities, creating a deep desire to learn. Teachers intentionally provoke learning, sparking children to ask questions, seek answers and embark upon their own learning journey. We have repurposed our Library to our exciting learning space, The Wonder Hub. The primary purpose of The Wonder Hub is to inspire wonder and awe. The Wonder Hub is a collaborative space that builds upon the traditional library services and incorporates museum based learning. Staff use provocation to inspire, engage and
Officially opening in March of this year, our Wonder Hub has allowed us to showcase further our beliefs about how children learn. As we repurposed the library and began to view the Hub as a place, rather than a space, stronger links between interests, learning, literacy and literature have taken place. No longer are children simply borrowing books because it is borrowing time, rather, they are selecting texts to enrich their learning or because they just can’t wait to read the next instalment in a certain series of books. Borrowing rates have risen, as has engagement and purpose. We have been blessed to have had the support of our Foundational Learning Partners – Rob Ievers, James Cook University, Glen and Jill Merry, Don Booth and our wonderful P&F.

The final weeks of Term 3 provided time to take the Year 2s out on a two-day adventure to Alligator Creek for their first Cathedral camp and the Year 3s went to Big Crystal Creek for three big days! For these students, we choose campsites that are close to home and have toilet and shower facilities. Our priority at this stage is to help the young ones transition to a greater level of independence. Spending a lot of time helping them set up tents and self-managing their own personal care like keeping their hat on, staying wellhydrated, washing their own eating utensils and hanging up wet clothes to dry. Also, sharing a small living space with others is often a sizable challenge in itself! Both year levels went on a night discovery walk and had lots of fun swimming and exploring in the rock pools of Alligator Creek (Year 2) and Crystal Creek (Year 3). The Year 2s were challenged with a low ropes rock course and fallen log walk, helping them develop trust in the same type of equipment used for our climbing and rope activities in later years. The Year 3’s had their first campfire, where they learnt to cook damper on a stick and the necessary patience this requires! They enjoyed riding the rockslides, building dams, swimming and playing in the creek. A valuable and rewarding aspect of all our programs is stargazing and quiet time for thought and reflection, as well as art activities and games. Both our Year 2s and 3s
2018’s outdoor educational adventures started with the Year 4 students and staff braving the wet conditions Mt Fox and Wallaman Falls presented early this year with local rainfall reports of up to 600mm in 3 days! We were fortunate to visit Wallaman Falls, Australia’s highest single-drop waterfall, in all its glory. Surrounded by World Heritage rainforest, Stony Creek plunging 268m, through a rainbow-fringed cloud of mist, what a sight to be seen and an excellent excuse for an enthusiastic camp call; “We are year 4 strong and bold, when things get tough we do not fold!”
The Year 5s were the last cohort out on camp this year. Considered ‘glamping’ by some, students and staff appreciated warm showers and flushing toilets right at the doorstep of their bivvy or tent, situated in the well-maintained gardens. Echo Creek Adventure Centre is an award winning outdoor education facility, allowing for self-catering and offering a well-balanced program of education, exploration, enjoyment and excitement! Throughout the fun-filled, 4-day program, students learnt a lot about themselves, their peers and their teachers; getting wet and muddy on the purpose-built obstacle course and in the dam, they found their way around the property as they learnt to use a compass orienteering, they cooled off as they went freshwater snorkelling in Echo Creek. Students were provided ample opportunities to develop initiatives, verbal and non-verbal communication skills and enhanced problem solving and decision making. They had fun playing laser tag, learning knots and building rafts, as well as embracing the physical and psychological challenges presented by the 10m outdoor abseil and climbing wall. The Year 5 program has a specific focus on developing teamwork and leadership skills as these students transition into their final (leadership) year of Junior School.
Climbing to the top of Mt Fox, an extinct volcano, and being awestruck by the crater, exploring authentic Aboriginal artwork in a cave situated high above the land and taking in the stunning views of the area, were just some of the activities enjoyed by our Year 4’s. The ever-dictating weather led to shortened camps, with a make-up day and the whole cohort celebrating camp by taking on a challenging, river walk and camp-style lunch at Ross River. Hot chocolate and a Class-vs-Class camp call-off back at school completed the experience.

OUTS IDE SCHOOL HOU R S C A R E (OSHC ) This year has seen an amazing change to our shared OSHC Prep playground space with the new upgrade. We have plenty of new seating and grassed areas as well as a shared garden space where we are growing herbs and veggies that our students are looking after. Parents have taken home herbs to add to their evening meal and we have cooked some of our produce for our students to eat at before school care and added at times to our afternoon tea menu. We updated our Sustainability Promise and discussed with the students how to involve all aspects of helping to keep our future environments safe. This was followed up with a visit from Bunnings Warehouse where we learnt to grow self-watering plants and a visit from Creek Watch Volunteers to learn how to look after the creeks and waterways in our community. We value our multicultural society within our school and community. We discussed our indigenous history and other cultures in the world and talked about how we are all one in our growing society. One project was our focus on Reconciliation Week where we made a wall hanging called “Gumbuya” which means a “safe place to meet”. We want all our students to feel safe, happy and comfortable at OSHC. We have had a wonderful year with many excursions chosen by our students and incursions from community members. Lots of arts and craft and good old fashioned fun including our students finishing and displaying a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle and feeling very proud! We also chose Ronald McDonald House as our charity contribution this year and donated many toys, books and videos which were greatly appreciated. A fantastic team of students, parents and staff have made our OSHC service a very memorable year, thank you everyone! MS J ILLIA N COGIL L OS H C COORDINATOR

were so proud to donate $1500 to them. At the Disco we lit up the room with neon clothes, raising close to $2500 for Ronald McDonald House. Semester 2 Leaders took over the reigns to host the first disco of Term 3. What an amazing disco with the theme ‘Dress up as your favourite Sports Star’. Later on we saw kids grooving on the dance floor, all trying to win the dance off. With cool outfits and awesome dance moves it was a very tough decision. All in all the Disco was a blast! We ended up raising $1500 to assist Cowboys NRL House. The cheque was given to Matty Bowen on assembly in mid October.

which enabled us to take out the Spirit Trophy in the Other Strokes Swimming Carnival. One of the highlights was when the House Leaders competed against each other wearing blind folds and paddling on inflatable rafts, which definitely delivered quite a show. At the House Disco, all the House grooved in neon colours with Zane and Heath Bethel from Chatham tying for Best Boy Dancer. The Disco raised over $1500 for Ronald McDonald House.
Soon after we held our House Disco.

We dived into the year starting off with swimming. The scores were neck and neck but More House proved that they were the true winners. Back from the holidays and straight to the running track, we had to uphold our winning title so we put in all we had. Luckily, things went perfectly as More House took the win for the third year in a row. Next, we travelled to the Red Track to participate in track and field events in our Interhouse Athletics Carnival. More House was so close to being the champions, but Chatham snuck ahead of us to take the trophy. More placed second, which is still amazing! Another highlight during the Semester was the Disco that raised an astonishing amount of money for sick children and their families to stay in Ronald McDonald House. We danced until we dropped and had the time of our lives with the fun music and the mid break sausage sizzle to re-boost our energy. The theme of the disco was
in with a creditable third place. At the end of all of the races the Leaders got to have a conversation with family members before going to class. We held the Junior School Discos in Term 3. It was amazing and we raised close to $2,500 for the NRL Cowboys House. The sausages were a huge hit, as well as the dancing. One of our last events was Day for Daniel, raising money for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. It was a great day as we had cold icy cups for $1. Everyone enjoyed the icy cups and dressed in red to help raise awareness for this worthy cause. We would like to thank Mr Baills and Mrs Will for all of their support this year. As Leaders we have passion but it is the hard work from all teaching staff who guide us and model for us what a true leader should display. We are truly lucky to have been chosen.

Broughton House won the interhouse competition three years in a row, 1974, 75 and 76. However, Keble in their 9 years did not win a trophy or carnival, so we decided it was time to honour Keble House with a trophy named after it.

While all staff in the Middle School have been amazing, as the leadership group we need to give a very big thank you to Mrs Bennett Rauch for always being there for us and guiding us along the way. Middle School was a windy road with speed bumps along the way but in the end, it was an amazing experience we will never forget. As we now ascend into Year 10, the things learnt in these three critical years will stay with us through it all.

YE AR 7 OUTDOOR EDUC AT ION By far, one of the best experiences of camp was the zip-line. I remember clambering up the rocks with my friends feeling a strange mixture of fear and excitement. I wasn’t that worried; I had seen others go down without problem. I had also learnt that there wasn’t really much to fear on camp. But, as I jumped off the tall rock and saw the ground drop away below me, I felt a pang of regret. Thankfully, this was immediately replaced with happiness as I realised how much fun zip-lining was. It was amazing! Soaring over my classmates swimming in the creek below and enjoying the beautiful view down the valley. As I landed, excitement and determination filled my heart, and I made my way back across the creek, over the rocks, up to the zip-line for a second go. W IL L AUBREY
While on camp, I made so many new friendships and strengthened some I never thought would get stronger. Our class got to know each other more and we figured out that we are a lot closer than anyone would have thought. I found out so many things about myself on camp. The biggest thing I found was that I don’t need everything I have at home to survive. I can survive without my iPad and my cupboard full of food, I can survive without a shower (but not without a swim in the creek) and I can survive a few days without a bed. This made me realise that everything I have, some people don’t, and they live a happy life. I guess we don’t always need the devices and creature comforts, we just need good quality friends that last for a lifetime. Devices don’t last for a lifetime, but the friendships you make on camp definitely do. ABB EY BURTON

YE AR 7 OUTDOOR EDUC AT ION The Year 7 Outdoor Education experience taught me many lessons. The most important being: do what you can when you can. If I hadn’t done that zip-line, I don’t think I would have ever conquered my fear of heights, or do anything like that ever again. I also learnt to not always think of the negatives and try to think of positives instead, because the negative thoughts will always stop you doing things that you may never get to do again. B RANDY CORLIS
Year 7 camp was one of the most amazing adventures that I have ever been on. Broadwater State Forest was an incredible place to visit. We saw a huge strangler fig tree in the rainforest, fireflies and the beautiful Broadwater Creek. We swam in unbelievable swimming holes, leapt off ‘the rock jump’, zip lined and of course, sat around the campfire in the evening. I learnt so much about the people in my tutor group. I shared stories and experiences about myself and in return, they told me stories and experiences about themselves. Together, we sang classic Australian songs. My favourite was ‘We are Australian’, accompanied by Mr Page-Dhu on the guitar. Camp encouraged me to put myself out there, and it turned out well because I made many new friends and experienced all new, different and exciting adventures SAMI BEIL

YE AR 8 DEVELOP MENT DAY Year 8 Development Day was focused around the STEP UP program by Unleashing Personal Potential (UPP) to help us become our best and build a solid foundation for our success. Hogan Rogers and Cody Kilpatrick were the two presenters talking to us and organising activities throughout the day. Firstly, we had to find someone we did not know very well and they would be our ‘best friend’ for the day, possibly longer. This reminded us about the steps to establishing and nurturing healthy relationships. We participated in a variety of activities to learn about our brain and thought processes, as well as team-work and the importance of quality friendships. We also learnt about setting goals using the Target, Obstacle, Plan (T.O.P) method. At the end of the day we had to think of someone we would like to give a shout-out to, someone we think deserved recognition for something they did during the day or just the way they usually conduct themselves. The most interesting part of the day for me was learning about growth mindsets and neuroplasticity, how you can train your brain to do things differently even after doing them a particular way for so long. Above all my favourite part of the day was spending time together as a cohort and learning more about each other. I am looking forward to being my best as I, and the rest of the cohort, take responsibility as leaders of the Middle School in 2019. JENAYA GROVES

YE AR 8 OUTDOOR EDUC AT ION Year 8 Outdoor Education camp was an incredible 5-day experience like no other. 8C’s camp was definitely much colder and rainier than we wanted it to be though. We hiked what seemed like a never ending 12km to get to the first location. Here we paddle boarded, hiked up to the top of Big Crystal Creek that had amazing views of the waterfall and swam in the icy cold water. Each lunchtime, jobs were rotated so everyone was able to do every role at least once. From the first campsite we walked 2km to the second camp site where we practised kayaking in the really cold water. The next day we kayaked around Paluma Dam completing an on-thewater orientation course to gather the parts of an Indigenous dreamtime story. Because of the wet and cold weather, 8C had the privilege of going to Mount Fox for the last night. The girls and boys fought for space in the two bivvy cities. On the way home we had a Guess the Song/Continue the Song competition. If you got the song correct and could continue the lyrics, Ms Mitchell rewarded you with a packet of Maltesers or a chocolate bar. It was a challenging camp but we all got through it with bright smiles and great stories. Most importantly, we’ve never felt closer as a class. JAYDE COCHRA N E, A N N EKE F R ASER & TAY LA H P L ATZ

Up next was the first of the musical arts competitions, the house instrumentals. This comprises of each house organising a band to play an instrumental song of choice and competing against each other. Bede House played ‘Cantina Band’ from Star Wars. Many hours were put in to construct a lovely piece of music. The Athletics Carnival is admired by most of the students in the Middle School. Being held at the Townsville Sports Reserve, many students felt like they were professionals sprinting their hearts out on the red track. Bede put on quite a performance coming second place and revealing huge amounts of spirit.

finishing with about a 15-meter lead.
We are all so happy with the effort and encouragement More House has shown throughout the year. It is inspiring to see how much everyone really cares about team spirit and the house, and at the end of the day, it most definitely paid off. So we would like to thank More House for making our year one to remember. More House started the year off with a splash at the Interhouse Swimming Carnival. Despite the tough competition and a few losses, we kept our spirit high and though we didn’t win the carnival shield, we brought home the spirit shield which sums up More House’s team spirit; and made all the voices lost the next day worth it. The next big event was the Interhouse Musicals and Instrumentals. More House brought it home with a spectacular instrumental performance. Everything about that performance was amazing and it was topped off with our awesome tambourine girls. But this spectacular performance couldn’t have happened without Kathleen’s and
Before we knew it the Athletics Carnival came around. It was a long day for many of those competing in all events, but once again More House had excellent participation in all of the events. Despite all our efforts the competition was too tough and we came home with a third place. The final interhouse competition of the year was debating, and we went out with a bang, having More House tie first with Chatham. On behalf of the House we would like to give a shout out to all who competed in debating because without you More House wouldn’t have achieved as much as they have this year. We have most definitely been fortunate to lead such an incredible house this year. We were able to run More House Middle School meetings and get to know all of you much better. Through this we made so many good friends and we hope everyone in More House made some new friends within the house as well.

STUDE NT SHORT STORI ES D UT Y IN ALL THI N GS 1915 Charlie’s finger rested tensely on the trigger of his rifle. Blood pounded through his veins and his heart beat wildly, but his trained hands remained steady, poised like a serpent ready to strike. He was prepared for this moment. He would not falter. He would fulfil his duty. Shells rained down around him, shaking the ground. But the sniper closed his ears to the chaos. Through the glass scope of his weapon, he lined up the cross-hairs with the man’s head. The choking air, acrid with gunpowder, burnt his lungs as he inhaled deeply. Without exhaling he squeezed his finger and felt his rifle kick back hard against his shoulder. *** It had been three weeks since Private Yusuf had been appointed as Lieutenant Colonel Kamal’s emir eri, his valet. It had been the proudest day of Yusef’s life. Now he stood in the blustery wind with the other men, listening to his commander’s deep voice speaking strong words that brought goose-bumps to Yusuf’s skin. “I don’t order you to fight, I order you die. In the time it takes us to die, other troops and commanders can come and take our places.” Yusuf’s stomach flipped tumultuously. He didn’t want to die. ‘Still,’ he thought determinedly, ‘it is my duty.’ At that second, a wilful gust of icy wind swept across the exposed cliff-top, jerking the colonel’s hat from his head. Yusuf lunged instinctively in front of the colonel to catch it. A stinging pain slammed into his chest and he crumpled to the ground. As crimson life poured from his open wound and stained the soil around him, Yusuf clutched the hat. Its felted brim was punctured with a tiny hole. He smiled slightly, feeling unafraid as death crept quietly through the cacophony. ‘What a privilege to die fulfilling one’s duty,’ he thought, as darkness enveloped him. *** 2015 Sarah stood up, feeling stiff after sitting on the hard ground for an hour. The Mediterranean sun was steadily shrinking
behind the distant mountains, casting an amber glow over the cemetery. It was much later than she’d realised. Earlier, at the Visitor Centre, she’d read GreatUncle Charlie’s story. As a sniper, he’d been ordered to shoot Mustafa Kamal from over a kilometre away. The shot had been straight and true, but in the final second, Kamal’s valet had stepped in front of him to catch the colonel’s hat, which had blown off his head. The bullet pierced through the hat and struck the valet in the chest. He had died in defence of his commander and his country. Kamal had gone on to become Atatürk, the ‘Father of the Turks’ and the founder of the modern republic of Turkey. Legend had it, the valet had been buried where he fell, clasping Ataturk’s hat in his lifeless hands. With swollen red eyes, Sarah gazed down at the square concrete stone before her: Private Charlie Aston 1897-1915 Father and brothers are proud of you, dear Charlie, doing your duty She bent over the stone and whispered, ‘Thank you Great-Uncle Charlie.’ Deeply inhaling the fresh air scented with pine trees and ocean salt, she turned away from the grave and looked back over the infinite field of perfectly symmetrical white crosses. The crosses were so perfectly aligned, so pure in colour, yet each and every one was a devastating representation of insufferable grief and death. With a final sombre glance at Uncle Charlie’s grave stone, Sarah turned to leave. Late as it was now, the cemetery was almost empty. Sarah saw only one other man. He walked between the crosses, every now and then pausing at the unmarked graves to whisper a few words. As a sign of respect, he held his old, weathered hat close to his heart. His olive skin, heavy features and cropped ebony hair hinted to Sarah that he was Turkish. Sensing Sarah’s gaze, the man looked up and locked eyes with her. Something in his calm, inscrutable eyes, drew Sarah to him. “You are wondering what I’m doing,’ he smiled gently, speaking
176 | T H E C AT H E D R A L S CH O O L O F ST ANNE & ST JA MES THE DAW N 2018
in a thickly-accented English. “No, I understand,” replied Sarah, “I was over talking to my GreatUncle Charlie before.” “Uncle Charlie?” he asked with curiosity in his voice. “Yes. He was here at the first landing. He…he….” Sarah hesitated, wondering if she should tell this Turkish man that Uncle Charlie had tried to shoot Ataturk. The man seemed so gentle that Sarah decided to go on. “Uncle Charlie was a sniper. He was ordered to shoot Ataturk,” she said in a small voice. “Ah,” he said. The man’s eyes lost focus and he was silent for several moments. Trying to draw the man’s attention back, Sarah coughed awkwardly. “So… do you come here often?” “Yes,” he replied vaguely, “I’m here all the time.” He said nothing more. Sarah wondered if he was angry and she started to move away from him. As she turned, the man’s voice followed her, sounding strangely distant, as if it was coming from far away, “Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more. You should never wish to do less.” She turned back, but a sudden icy gust of wind swept up from the ocean below, whipping Sarah’s hair over her face and stinging her eyes. The wind wrenched the weathered hat from the strange man’s clutch and it floated up through the air. Instinctively Sarah leapt to catch it. The instant her finger-tips made contact with the felt edges of the hat, the wailing wind halted to an abrupt and eerie silence. Goosebumps tingled over Sarah’s body. She looked up from the hat to where the man had been standing. He was gone. ‘Impossible,’ Sarah thought. Where could he have disappeared to so quickly? She looked back down at the weathered hat clutched in her now trembling hands. It was old and battered, covered with mud. She turned the felt hat around. Through the brim of the hat a tiny bullet hole was visible. E M I LY B U TS O N YEAR 12
SENIOR SCHOOL
STUDENT SHORT STOR I ES SH AT T E RED SHARDS Fourth row back, two across. Clock ticks twelve. I sit, calm and still. A voice, slow and droning, vies for our attention. Mr Downey enunciates particular words: ‘weakness’, ‘freedom’, ‘abandonment’. In his hand, ‘The Glass Menagerie’ waves about, as he tries to convey the impossibility of true escapism. But alas, all he receives in return are a few uninterested grunts. “Eyes to the board,” he says, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Mr Downey is an older man, with hair turned grey and glassy blue eyes, framed by soft wrinkles. He stands slightly hunched, the smell of tobacco and cologne clinging to him. His voice betrays a wisdom as if the lines themselves are written for him and only him. As if he cannot accept the reality he’s stuck in and would rather live a simpler life, surrounded by delicate glass animals: unmoving, ‘un-mocking’. He does it again: adjusts his frames. It’s both endearing and unnerving at the same time. Familiar. He looks up from his reading and scans the room, his eyes falling on me. I give a smile of encouragement. He likes to know that someone is listening. Mr Downey inspired my love of books. He guided me to take seemingly impossible journeys across seas, space and magical lands that now seem like home. He has fostered my ever-growing imagination. A stiff breeze laced with the subtle smell of his cologne hits me. It can only remind me of my father, even though his was usually mixed with a few drops of cognac. Back then I adored him. All of our cherished memories play in the back of my mind like film rolling through a projector. My father was forever fond of chess. We would play for hours by the sea. I could always predict when his deciding move was about to strike – a quick push of his glasses towards his keen eyes was the give-away. He knew the move that ended in checkmate. He loved boating and taught me to kayak. The sea was his best friend, the current always guiding his kayak in the correct direction while I drifted off into the other. “Eyes to the horizon!”
he would say when I began to feel sea sick. I am so lucky to have him. My father worked a lot, you see. He promised to play chess with me, promised to teach me to kayak, promised that we would go on these incredible adventures someday soon. He’s just too busy. Dad works long hours for my maternal grandparents’ business. That was the unwritten contract for marrying my mother. My parents’ wedding photos are hung up all over the house. The spark of love between them burns as brightly as it did on that day. I can see it in both of their eyes. Every day, when dad comes home from work, he always gives mum a kiss as if he’d hated every second he was away from her. They are meant to be. At night, Dad often lost his temper after he drank a little too much. But, he never yelled at me. Only Mama’s pretty face would catch it all. His anger would shake the house, pictures would fall to the floor, glass shattering. Her skin was coloured purple, red and brown; her face was a stained-glass window, curtained shut to any emotion. She never fought back. She learnt to avoid the mirror and how to cover her scars. But they loved each other, I swear. “How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken,” Mr Downey quotes, still harping on about the plight of Laura and Tom. My eyes wander, noticing that every student is almost falling asleep, their heads rested on their arms, carefully adorned with exquisite watch faces. This classroom - this school - it pretends to be a safe haven, carefully constructed out of indelible concrete fences and crisp manicured fields. But, it is a menagerie itself, holding only a sea of wild whispers and sideways glances. Here lies only perfect girls, with perfect lives. This is no place for shattered ornaments, they are the ones that get taken off the shelf and buried in a dusty box for ‘safe-keeping.’ There is no place, nor space, for them in these beautiful glass boxes. I am chipped, held together with glue and strings of lies. I
have the picture-perfect life. Last February, Dad announced he was leaving and departed two days later. He told my mother he wasn’t one of us and couldn’t pretend anymore. He couldn’t smile, couldn’t lie, couldn’t be part of that beautiful family in those beautiful houses. Couldn’t. Couldn’t. Wouldn’t. My father put his last suitcase into the backseat of the Mercedes and started the engine. The rejection shot like a bullet into my chest. I was standing on the driveway and I fell. The bullet hole opened wide and my heart rolled out of my rib cage and onto the ground, shattering into pieces. Blood gushed rhythmically from my open wound, …then from my ears, …my eyes, …my mouth. It tasted like salt and failure. The bright red shame of being unloved soaked the grass in front of our house, the bricks of the path, the steps to the porch. Mummy snapped. “Be strong,” she said. “Don’t cause a scene.” I obeyed. Mum and I held our chins high as Dad drove down the hill. The divorce shred at the muscle of our hearts so that they hardly beat without a struggle. My mother looked better without him. Clear-skinned. But her eyes, they grieved the loss of her husband, who she had loved for years. I walked on broken glass, trying not to be a constant reminder of her loss, a token of her failure. The sound of the chalk on the blackboard brings me back. Mr Downey is looking at the class with tired eyes, ready to close at the end of a long day. His tolerance of working-life is growing thin. He is another man too tired. Another man about to leave. I stand up, out of my chair, and aim. Blood gushes rhythmically from his open wound, …then from his ears, …his eyes, …his mouth.

They started the semester exploring various codes and ciphers as an introduction to learning how computers code information. Making and breaking ciphers helps encourage deductive reasoning skills. Next they moved onto algorithms where the students undertook a series of tasks to help develop their understanding of computational thinking and programming. Drones were used as a practical application of programming, with students moving on to text-based coding in the Python programming language. Finally, students were introduced to

the theory component was based around Data Security. They learnt to plan their programs, extending from flow diagrams to pseudocode. The goal here is that they can migrate their algorithmic thinking and apply it to other programming languages. Students took part in the National Computer Science School (NCSS) Challenge at an Intermediate level. For five weeks they had to meet increasingly difficult coding tasks to demonstrate their talents. We had several students achieve Distinction and High Distinction in this challenge and one student even achieved a Perfect Score. The practical

Year 11 studied Visual Design, Project Management and Web Design. Their theory focused on issues relating to copyright, project documentation, design principles and internet protocols. They learned practical skills in image creation, photo editing and website development with Dreamweaver, HTML and CSS. They planned and created a website with all original material, after a wonderful morning’s excursion to Kissing Point to gather resources.
In addition to the curriculum advances, we also launched an extracurricular Coding Club, to give students the opportunity to come and experience new Digital Technologies that they

YE AR 1 1 DEVELOP MENT DAYS The Year 11 cohort participated in two and a half Development Days in Term 1. We began and ended this experience with two unique, team-inclusive leadership building activities. Thursday and Friday consisted of ballroom dance lessons, taught by Miss Melissa Prince, group presentation workshops with Mrs Gamack, and a range of leadership and teamwork skills with our respective Heads of House as well as Mr Midson. On Friday night, we came back to school to celebrate our successful two days with a dance. After being presented in our houses, we danced the night away showing our families and friends our hard work from the previous few days. Mrs Gamack and Miss Prince certainly had their work cut out for them, but both rose to the challenge like always. After a night filled with dance, food and laughter, Saturday morning included breakfast, pack up, Valedictory candle making for our Year 12 presentations while finishing with a team game. The Development Days enabled our cohort to get to know each other out of the normal classroom routine, providing us with a great opportunity to become more united. I think almost everyone’s highlight was the house presentations and newly developed ballroom dancing skills on Friday night. These Development Days also provided us with a chance to get to know Mr Midson, Mr and Mrs Gamack as well as our Heads of House.

Staff encourage and promote positive attitudes and relationships, resilience and self-efficacy. To further promote student wellbeing this year the web application ‘Stymie’ has been introduced to equip students with the tools to support their peers and empower them to stand up for each other. The application reinforces empathy and social responsibility.
We also look forward to the introduction of The Resilience Project. This evidence-based program aims to provide our students with practical and positive mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness.
Many staff have now completed the Youth Mental Health First Aid course. It is an education course that teaches them how to support adolescents who are experiencing a mental health issue. The program has been well evaluated and found to be effective in improving

competition. We fought hard in the water and achieved highly by taking home second place. To continue the sporting events, Cross Country and the Athletics carnival followed in Term 2. It was a scorching hot day for the team but that could not faze the legendary Bede House spirit. On both days, the house could truly be judged by our actions as we fought hard to achieve third place for both events. After enduring the long and challenging year, Bede faced the final house competition; debating. The Bedeians proved that they would not go home without a fight after articulately arguing their way to the final debate. To conclude the superior year, Bede joined forces with Chatham to raise money for the Townsville Drop-In Centre. Many students and staff got involved in the sausage sizzle and ice cream stand to raise over $1300 for the cause and collect two bins worth of non-perishable food for the homeless.

The House Musical, a rendition of the classic ‘cops versus robbers’ story, entertained the audience with its timeless plot, spirited choreography and outstanding music, backdrops and costuming. All of the effort and energy that the directors and participants put in throughout the term were rewarded with Chatham bringing home the first-place trophy.

S PH ER O SP LASH HOLIDAY P R OG R A M Learning did not stop when the mid-year school holidays arrived this year, at least not for two small groups of children. Sphero Splash was a one day holiday program which ran over consecutive days in the first week of the holidays for junior students and then senior students. On their day, the students were challenged with programming and engineering problems that they had to attempt to solve and code using Sphero robots. Junior students were using block coding, while senior students used text based coding to design their solutions, while they explored hydrodynamics principles. A lot of fun was had over the two days, and everyone’s coding skills dramatically improved. A very successful holiday program which was reiterated when one parent emailed, “I have never seen him more excited, both this morning and this afternoon”.

This year there were 11 groups with 14 students from our school who were invited to present their projects for the regional finals at James Cook University on Saturday 21 September. In the Year 3-4 category Cathedral had 2 entries: Heidi Zahn and Amelia Tonner with their project ‘Do You Need?’, a sensor which monitors how much milk you have at home and transmits the data to a website. The second entry was Amelie Havenaar with her BOS project.

The concert saw performances of some of our favourite rock songs from the 60s to today and included an IMP staff band pumping out their rendition of Joe Crocker’s hit ‘The Letter’. The students performed to a full house in the Rock Centre and the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the selections of music on the night.

Our international students embrace the challenge of studying all aspects of their academics in English language and are motivated to keep striving in their work. Through immersion in an Australian way of life, students form lifelong friendships with their new peers and help to form a culturally enriched learning environment.
A student’s perspective: “Give up! You are not really good in English!” I often heard something like this before I came to this school. Well, the only way to solve it was to speak more, listen more, and use it more. ESL class is a good place for us. As international students we are supported to not be shy and speak only in English.

Harry Doolan, Year 11 wrote: “This year I attended Cathedral’s annual Writers Camp held at Gumburu in the mountains of Paluma. I, along with two other senior students, led our group of Middle Schoolers through the rules and rituals of the camp with resounding success. With our brilliant Writer in Residence, the students learnt the skills and techniques of the art of writing from someone who is published. The writing was only part of the experience, with the murder mystery, camp fire idol and scary story. I had a great time and will be back next year.”

Public speakers who are able to capture and humour an audience have always been respected and admired – John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Oprah Winfrey, to name a few. Their calibre of public speaking seems so high and unattainable that many believe it to be frightening. Actually, public speaking has been recorded to be people’s biggest fear, even above death. Yet, perhaps it is not so difficult. This year, students from Years 10, 11 and 12 have come together in our own Toastmasters’ Gavel Club, which focusses on improving public speaking.

S L AB R EP ORT in SLAB, we are constantly having to learn to use equipment better and to learn how to use new gear. A huge thank you, at this point, to the Parent & Friends’ Association (P&F), who have enabled us to upgrade our capacity. A memorable computer incident during a show early in the year led to the P&F agreeing to purchase a Mac computer to run our shows on. Many thanks!! We no longer live in fear of unscheduled updates stopping everything!!
The mission of the SLAB Crew is to provide awesome technical support for anyone needing sound, lighting, audio or backstage support. The SLAB Crew lost a lot of senior members last year, so it was an opportunity to step up for our Year 10 Crew and for new crew members to join the Middle School team. While we don’t have time in our week to do everything we would like to, we give what we can a red-hot crack! It has been great to see the Crew learning new skills and putting them to work on assemblies, chapels and on various shows and activities around the school. A big thank you to Mrs Will who looks after most of the Junior School technical support. In the internet connected world, expectations keep getting higher, and
The P&F has also purchased some new lights and microphones to increase our capacity and to do things more easily and more quickly, which is greatly appreciated, especially when under the pressures of performances. The other big item is a new video camera, giving us ways of doing things more reliably and with greater quality, hence the SLAB Crew have plenty of things to learn and deploy to fulfil our mission. Another big shout out to the IT team, who have worked tirelessly to help us set up equipment to be as simple and reliable as possible, while getting the outcomes we need. Thanks, Kev, Sam and Ben. Helping out at the School Production this year with the Backstage Crew has given me a great window into what a professional team does (that
is, the Riverway/Civic Theatre Techs). It has been great to work as a Crew member on teams led by others, and to see that our SLAB Crew is on the right page in a smaller scale here at The Cathedral School. Our Crew this year has been: Senior School: Will Cavallo, Ryan Spaleck, Kalani Moncrieff, Matthew McKindley, Zane Rebgetz, Flynn O’Leary and Blake Wilson. Seniors Ethan Medill and Ryan Maher were on call for backup. Middle School: Jacob Kath, Libby Harrison, Demi Maartensz, Tahlia Havenaar, Mark Campbell, Caitlin Whitbread, Drew Carmichael, Matthew Neilsen and Xavier Traeger. Henry Burgess helped out on a backstage crew as well. As I write this, we are preparing for the final weeks of school, where there are just ‘one or two’ shows and performances left on the Calendar and I am looking forward to working with our talented students.

K ITC H EN REP ORT 2018 has seen a few changes with perhaps the biggest being the retirement of our Catering Manager, Jenny Ullman. We thank her for her 32 years of service to the Cathedral Boarding Community and wish her all the best. I hope parents have been enjoying keeping up to date with the Kitchen’s activities via the school social media pages and seen the new four week menu that commenced in Term 4. Previously we had been running a 3 week menu. I extended this out to four weeks to incorporate some of the students’ favourite dishes along with some new ones. Whilst the menu consists of the old favourites, I have made breakfast a focus, as we all know this is the most important meal of the day. Healthier cereal options have been made available and the hot breakfasts have had a fresh spin put on to them as well. This year saw the return of House Cakes for the House Musicals, something we hope to continue doing as this is a treasured tradition. Speaking of tradition, we are hopeful that the Past Students Cocktail Function continues as a regular event on our calendar as this was a fantastic evening had by all.
