Spring is a metaphor for change. 
Some changes we eagerly await, 
and some we abhor. 
Some changes we plan 
and others arrive uninvited. 
To all these changes 
we ask the gift of Your perspective 
beckoning us to expectation, hope, and rebirth.
May the sunlight and the rain be reminders 
that You are at work renewing the earth. 
As a God of renewal, You are ever at work in our lives, too.
Open our eyes and lives to the needed changes in our lives this Spring. 
Awaken us to new life and perspective. 
Jesus is our spring, our new life.
May our lives give in abundance.
Amen.

Well done to our Inter-house Debating team of Oliver Kele (Year 8), Paddy Williams (Year 6) and Lachy McGarry (Year 10), who came second in the Final to Ross House. This young team did an awesome job against older students, which augurs well for the future.

The boys put in a great effort at Inter-house Athletics, coming fourth. There was good participation all day and a lot of red socks running around to create a great House spirit. Well done to the Year 11, 7 and 5 boys for winning their respective tug of war competitions.

Well done to the 10 Year 11 boys who nominated for a leadership position for 2019: Benn Dalle Cort, Ben McMillan, Will Cartwright, Cody Colette, Kehan Sully, George Needham, Sam Devlin, Jesse Doherty, Jamie Dickman and Oliver Smeaton. They have written an application, spoken in front of the House and been interviewed. It has been a pleasure being involved in this process with these fine young men. Leadership positions will be finalised early next term.

Congratulations to the following boys who played in a 1st team this term: Athen Waia, Finn Hearn and Angus Mackey (Rugby); Cody Colette (Basketball); and James Hong (Chess).

All the best for Tom Balkin over the holidays as he represents Australia in the Under 17 National Cricket Championships.

Thanks to Ms Heather Trethowan for the organising of the annual Christmas in July Dinner. A record crowd of 210 Barrett community members came together for a fun night with plenty of food and activities for all ages. Ryan Hall was pulsing at the edges. Thanks to all those who donated prizes for the raffles and to those parents who helped set up beforehand – it was once again really appreciated.

We got there! Term 3 always seems like a race from start to finish, and when I reflect on what has happened this term it certainly seems to be that way. With our four Duggan members of the 1st XV, a member of 1st V Basketball and 1st IV Chess, we have, as a House, been front and centre with our support of all things sport. We have also had the Inter-house Track and Field, which was wonderful, as well as our fabulous Debating term – so, as I said, a race to the end!

We certainly put our best foot forward with House events this term. I was delighted by the enthusiasm and commitment the boys made to the Inter-house Track and Field event. I had amazing feedback from staff not attached to Duggan about how impressed they were with their spirit and support. I wouldn’t expect anything less from our fine young men. Special mention should be given to our relay teams, and who will ever forget Tom McCall’s spirited finish – wow! Our extremely young Inter-house Debating team of Daniel Wright (Year 8), Janindu Edirisinghe (Year 9) and Conor Holloway (Year 10) did us all proud and makes me very optimistic for the future. We also held our Semester’s Big Brother/Little Brother BBQ the day before QCS at the beginning of September. This occasion holds a very special place in my heart as I love seeing the young and older students mixing together and sharing a meal. The significance of this being held just before QCS made it extra special. We also held our yearly Trivia Night, which was very well attended and helped raise much needed funds for Edmund Rice Camps (ERC). This is fast becoming a much anticipated event in the calendar and loved by all who attend. Thanks to Ms Bambi Silvertand and Ms Angela Johns for their unfailing support of this event.

Academic life is always at the core of what we do and QCS was a milestone for both the students and the College, with it being the last exam of its kind. The Senior students approached it with maturity and resilience, and I am sure they did both themselves and the College proud. It was also the term where students made their subject choices for 2020. This was especially important for our Year 9 boys who have started to make plans for their future ATAR subjects. It was such a privilege spending time with these young men and their parents as they dug deep and made some significant decisions.

Service is also central to what we do. I am always so very proud when I look at the lists for the social justice activities and see so many Duggan names. Not only do they volunteer so readily with their time, but they also take a leading role in many of these activities. From our younger boys doing Scrabble and Chat, to the Year 8s and 9s coming along to make sandwiches at the Ecumenical Coffee Brigade, to the Senior boys attending Big Brekky and Big BBQ, Duggan is always there leading the way. Our ERC, attended by Year 11 boys at the end of last term, was fabulous. I was so impressed with the empathy and commitment on display by our young men. I was especially proud of the fact that one of our boys has taken the plunge and signed on with ERC to continue with their fine work. Fantastic!

It is always so very hard to give justice to such an amazing term, and this one is no exception. However, I cannot go past the cultural life of the College. The Dimensions Art Festival, held towards the end of term, was a case in point. Not only did we have some beautiful art on display, we had our very own tutor Mr Jamaal Sugars entertaining the crowd with his extraordinary guitar playing. What a talent! We have also witnessed many musical numbers during assemblies, often seeing our Duggan Prefect Ben Rohan in the ‘thick of it’. We cannot forget the AV Crew, full of Duggan boys, and all the hard work they do at all our public events.

We finished this term with six Year 11 students ‘taking a responsible risk’ and putting themselves forward for a leadership position in 2020. This is a huge step for these young men, opening themselves up to scrutiny by both adults and their peers – no mean feat. From applications through to speeches, running a House activity and being formally interviewed, they did themselves proud. Whatever the final results turn out to be, Duggan will be in very safe hands next year.

I would like to end in the traditional manner of thanking so very many people. Firstly to you, the parents. I put out a request prior to the Muffin Morning in Week 7 for people to donate some goodies for this popular event. I was overwhelmed by the response. We were able to donate a large boxful of leftovers to the Big Brekky initiative, which was wonderful. Not only were we very well fed, but we were able to ‘share the love’ with those less fortunate. Thank you all so very much for your generous support of this occasion. Thanks also to the Prefects Ben, Ollie, Charlie, and our very welcome addition Yiddy, for everything they do in support of the House. A very special thank you to our wonderful tutors who go above and beyond for our boys on a daily basis: Ms Belinda Drury, Mr Nick Toohey, Mr Richard Dupuy, Mr Joe Stephens, Mr Paul Doneley, Mr Jamaal Sugars, Mr George Goves, Mr Armand Du Mont and Ms Lauren Nolan. You are very special people and I couldn’t do my job without you all.

Thank you for your friendship and support. I look forward to doing it all again next term!

Ms Sian Kennedy
Duggan House Dean

Term 3 lived up to its reputation as the busiest term of the year, with major events on the academic, cultural and sporting calendars. Fogarty students certainly hit the ground running right from the first day. Congratulations to Benji Bowker, George Pola, Aidan Read and Patrick Cook for receiving their Football Best Team Man Award back in Week 1.

I would also like to congratulate the following young Fogarty men on receiving Academic Awards after their impressive Semester 1 results:

• Gold: Henry Potter, Wade Lucas, Elliott Browne, Darcy Bicknell
• Silver: Ryan French, Jack Vivers, Kurt Lucas, Nate Scott, Darcy Hardwick, Sethum Goonewardena, Benjamin Lonergan
• Bronze: Jeremy Deakin, Eddie Power, Mitchell Vivers, Josh Ford, Ethan Schneider-Loos, Mikey Dechphant, George Pola, Benjamin Neal, Ben McGinty, Benji Bowker, Declan Henry, Joshua Price, Patrick Kelly, Samuel Mills

Our young Fogarty men continued to show their diverse skills and talents, excelling across all areas of Nudgee College life. This can be seen with such achievements as Kade Lamont (Year 11), Finn Dimmock (Year 6) and Darcy Bicknell (Year 12) representing Fogarty in the Inter-house Debating competition. Samuel Mills is also to be commended for being awarded a Mid Year Prefect role due to his involvement in and support of the wider College community and Fogarty House events.

The Year 7 Fogarty had some time out of their normal routine, embarking on their first retreat as high school students for Galilee Day with the Year 11 leaders. It was a great day out at Shorncliffe and the boys enjoyed reflecting on the year they have had so far and where they would like their journey to take them. The Year 11s were an important part in this process, as they were able to give some advice and guidance to the boys on making the most of their time at the College. Special mention to Mitchell Graham for his inspirational sand sculpture.

Term 3 also saw the final QCS test ever be completed. The boys have been preparing for this throughout the year and from all reports they conducted themselves very well. I hope the results reflect the effort they have put into this.

I wish the following Fogarty Year 11 students luck in their bid for College and House leadership: Henry Kidd, Rupert McDonald, Declan Henry, Patrick Kelly, Kade Lamont and Joshua Price. This is a courageous and worthwhile pursuit for the boys to be involved in.

Congratulations to Hugo Timbs (Year 6), who was awarded Fogarty Team Man this term. Hugo found a Dimensions Arts Festival guest artist’s wallet, and with the support of his family, he ventured to the artist’s address in Mitchelton and returned it to their letterbox. The owner contacted Nudgee College and said: “My children do not attend Nudgee, and they were blown away by Hugo’s honesty and effort to return it. I am sure they would now do the same in a similar situation. So thank you Hugo, you are my hero!”

At Inter-house Athletics this year, there was a slightly tweaked program to include championship events, allowing students to showcase their extraordinary athletic abilities. It was exciting to witness Year 10 student Harrison Turner dominate and win the Open 800m championship race, as well as Year 9 boys Will Morrow and Aidan Read, who finished first and second respectively in the Year 7 to 9 event. The Year 7s continued their form from 2018, with an awesome spectacle during the tug of war. The exorbitant amount of passion and energy shown by this group was incredible. It was a wonderful day for the members of the Fogarty community who attended, with boys of all ages and abilities attempting a range of track and field events. Many of the Fogarty students were disappointed with our overall result of last place at the carnival. After reviewing the day, the main contributing factor was the large number of ‘parent approved absences’. While it is pleasing to see the correct process being followed for student absentees, it was disappointing that more than 40 Fogarty students happened to be ‘ill’. I appreciate that many of these were genuine health concerns; but with approximately 25 per cent of the House absent it was near impossible for the boys to score well in the overall results. I, and the Fogarty students who attended, would sincerely appreciate parent support, to encourage your sons to attend these important House community events.

As always a sincere thank you to all of the House parents, and especially Ms Marisia Woolf, for everything you do to help the boys throughout the term, particularly the Bake Morning. The boys are extremely lucky to have such an amazing and supportive parent body. 

Thank you to the entire Fogarty community for supporting the Fogarty House Function, which we trialled off campus at Kingpin, Chermside for the first time. This was a successful evening with boys having a great time being entertained by the Kingpin staff, allowing for the parents (and teachers) to enjoy a few beverages. Thank you for coming along and celebrating our House community together.

Have a safe and happy holiday.

Mr Ken Adams
Fogarty House Dean

Term 3 is always a hectic time here at Nudgee College. Not only are the Year 12 students sitting the QCS test but sport is in full swing, along with the Dimensions Arts Festival and a myriad of cultural pursuits. The September holidays are a well-deserved break for students and parents. Congratulations to all Magee students on what has been a very successful term.

Congratulations to our Academic Award winners:

• Gold: Nate Barnett, Dermot Clancy, Aidan Easton, Alex Romano, Lachlan Barrett, Ethan Bartley, Rohan Astbury, Nikhil Lalwani, Sam Klein, Tom Walsh, Cooper Tomlinson
• Silver: Khy Dhawan, Joseph Wesche, Gabe Fuentes, Tom Robertson, Patrick McGillion, Ethan Petcos, Blake Keir, Hamish McLaughlin
• Bronze: Sam Tallon, Anthony Mineo, Alec Fuentes, Isaac Lofaro, Alec Watson
• Principal’s Award: Flinders Noble, Ben Ryan, Josh McPherson, Justice Wasiu, Drew McBeath, Daniel Webb

Well done to the Magee boys who banded together for a podium finish in the Inter-house Athletics carnival. Second place was a well-deserved result for the House as a whole and for individual athletes who gave their best.

Magee was extremely well presented in this year’s 1st XV. Harry Vella (2018 and 2019 Captain), Mitchell Lowrie, Daniel Muller and Daniel Maiava were all presented. It has been a very closely contested GPS competition this season and the boys have given their all.

The following boys were recognised as Best Team Man Award recipients for their respective Term 2 activities:

• Football: Luca Romano, Rohan Astbury, Sebastian Cantero, Fraser Condon
• Tennis: Tom Podosky, Blake Keir, Luke Sedgeman, Alex George, Xavier Griffiths, Matthew Hunter, Sam Tulley, Rylan Jelicich, Denver Bradford, Flynn Twomey, Jozef Harwood

Samuel Holmes continues his success in ice hockey, making the Queensland Under 18 team. They played in Melbourne over the last holidays. The team went through the round robin with two wins and two shoot-out losses before fighting it out in the Semi Finals with Victoria. Unfortunately, they lost in the dying moments of sudden death overtime. They then went in to the bronze medal game with New South Wales and came out winners for the bronze 4-1.

Year 7 Galilee Day was a great success. Thank you to Mr Sione Mohenoa who facilitated the day. Several Year 11 students accompanied us. They were group leaders and did an excellent job. The Year 11 students were Michael Jones, Justice Wasiu, Zida Wasiu, Blake Keir and Kyle Schramm. We were so fortunate to spend some of our rock wall meditation time with dolphin visitors (see photo below). It was a gift to all who were there.

Year 9 Powerhouse Day is a wonderful opportunity for the Year 9 boys, some of the dads and Year 11 leaders to focus on the specific issues facing our students in the middle school.

Thanks to Christian Mills, Injarra Harbour, Tom Mills, Tom Walsh, Tommy Navarro and Oscar Varricchio who each contributed to the day by leading a small group.

Our combined Magee and Duggan Trivia Night was great fun. There was lively banter and healthy competition throughout the night, not to mention some creative table (and people) decoration. Thanks to Patrick Glass and Jack Buckley (Magee Prefects with RSA holders) who did such a good job running the bar.

Finally, special thanks to all the Magee House mums and dads who provide food and a presence at our Muffin Breaks. The boys are always excited when the tables are laid with goodies and consider themselves the luckiest House to enjoy Muffin Breaks twice a term. It is a big effort for parents and we are most appreciative.

As we take a well-deserved break from routine, we can take stock, recharge and look forward to Term 4’s full agenda, including Showcase, GPS Athletics, Year 12 graduation rituals and much more.

Ms Julianne Daunt
Magee House Dean

What a busy but fulfilling term the McKenna men have had. Term 3 is always a busy one at Nudgee College with the Rugby, Basketball, Chess and Debating taking up a lot of time. Having said that, the value of co-curricular activities is not to be underestimated. It is a great way for your sons to get to know other like-minded young men and keeps them physically and mentally active. After such a busy term, I am sure your son is ready for a well-deserved rest.

Other than co-curricular activities, there have been a number of events and achievements to recognise in Term 3.

Our Year 7s embarked on Galilee Day in Week 4, where they had an opportunity to reflect on their journey so far at the College. They were also challenged to ponder on how they currently serve their community and how they plan to do so in the future (many committed to doing home chores more often!). We were very lucky to have some of our Year 11 leaders present on the day to share their experience and spend time with our Year 7 students.

In our co-curricular activities, we had many boys participating in Theatre Sports, the Dimensions Arts Festival, Chess, Rugby and Basketball throughout the term. I would like to congratulate all of these boys for getting involved in Nudgee College life.

This year the McKenna House accepted the challenge to support our House charity Youngcare through the Brick by Brick campaign. I have been very pleased with how the young men of McKenna have taken on this challenge. After a lot of hard work, the boys raised approximately $4,500. Two of our students raised more than $1,000 each, which is a huge contribution to the overall House efforts. My understanding is that the funds we have raised from this campaign will go towards critical medical equipment for the new house, which is being built at Wooloowin. What a great effort by the young McKenna men – well done to all involved!

It was with great pleasure that McKenna House acknowledged the students in the House who have improved their grades between Term 4, 2018 and Term 2, 2019. It should be a goal of all the students at Nudgee College to seek to improve each day along their journey.

Congratulations to the following students for demonstrating hard work and persistence: Cody Southam, Ben Colston, Cooper Cameron, Cahil Dupuy, Joshua Farne Sang, Merrick Hoffman, Jacob Krayem, Tino Millios, Lucas Ackland, Kieran O'Shea, Austin Pascoe, Ethan Rennie, Tristan Duane, Lachlan Moss and Rory Illidge. A special congratulations to Isaac Colston and Jed Manson who both received Principal’s Awards at the beginning of the term.

Congratulations also to the following students who were recognised at an Assembly earlier in the term for academic excellence.

• Gold: Ethan Andrews, Jacob Tucker, Alex Smith, Andrew La Monaca, Patrick Burchard, Michael Malone, Jamie Waddington, Harrison Palethorpe, Thomas Malone, Daniel O’Driscoll, Al McEwan, Luke Blackwell, Logan Azzopardi, Rohen Ferreira, Caleb Giorgas, Elvio Wang, Benjamin Connolly
• Silver: Callum Turner, Mitchell Doyle, Dylan Lawrance, Thomas Muelleger, Josh Farne-Sang
• Bronze: Declan Wright, Kieran O’Shea, Caleb Reiher, Matthew Munro, Jed Manson

Well done to these gentlemen for the persistence and hard work they have put into their studies.

Term 3 is a busy one for our Year 11 students, as they involve themselves in various leadership opportunities and then undertake the formal leadership application process for 2020. We have met as a Year 11 cohort on a number of occasions this term. During these conversations the boys discussed the importance of leading as a Year 12 cohort and leading without a title. We discussed that they do not need to be a Prefect or Big Brother to be a leader within McKenna House and Nudgee College. A smaller group of eight McKenna Year 11 students have applied for the position of Prefect. These boys have addressed the House with a speech, answered some questions from the PC tutors, volunteered their time throughout the year, completed a written application and had an interview. Early in Term 4 the three Prefect positions will be announced. Whilst not all of these boys can become Prefects, as mentioned earlier the entire Year 12 cohort will play a key role in the success of McKenna in 2019.

Congratulations must go to our Year 12 students who completed QCS. This process takes a lot of hard work and determination. Soon they will begin their ‘leaving the gates’ program in Student Formation when we start back in Term 4.
As we finalise Term 3, we start to make plans for Term 4 with our annual Showcase coming up.

For those parents new to Nudgee College, Showcase is a night where the Nudgee College students embrace the challenge of singing and dancing as a group. Whilst this experience is a challenging one to start with, all students who get involved communicate this as being one of their more memorable annual experiences at Nudgee College. Showcase will take place on Monday 28 October. The event is always a full house, so my advice is to arrive early to get a seat.
Thank you for all of your ongoing support of McKenna House and Nudgee College. I wish everyone a very safe and happy school holiday period, and I am very much looking forward to a busy but enjoyable Term 4. 

Mr Paul Kehoe
McKenna House Dean

I know everyone says Nudgee College life is fast paced, but Term 3 is truly like no other! Everyday College life this term has been complemented by GPS Rugby, Chess, and Basketball; Year 7 Galilee Day; Year 9 Powerhouse Day; subject selection evenings; Open Day; Dimensions Arts Festival; QCS test; Inter-house Debating; Year 10 Immersion; our House Dinner; and much more. It would be very easy to get lost in the busyness of this term; however, the Riley boys have really stepped up and shown the true spirit of Riley and Nudgee College gentlemen.

Academic Life

• Gold Academic Award: Sejin Lee (6), Oscar Roati (7), William Mason (8), Zeke Watters (8), Harry Roati (9), Oliver Bryans (9), Xavier Roati (10), James Armitage (11), Alec Reverente (12) and Vidur Sehgal (12)
• Silver Academic Award: Jai Mott (5), Finn Curran (6), Benjamin Ditchburn (7), James Kuzevich (9), Dan Seaton (9), David Fitzgerald (10), Joseph Duffy (11)
• Bronze Academic Award: Harry Stoneman (6), Joseph Costigan (6), Oliver Evangelista (9), Rowan Macrae (10), Will Mann (10), Keiran McCarthy (10), Elton Shibble (11) and Daniel Kuskie (11)
• Australian Maths Competition: Ben Ditchburn (7), Lachy Hunter (7), Liam McBride (7), Charlie Parker (7), Thomas Patridge (7), Oscar Roati (7), Noah Wilson (7), Zeke Watters (8), James Kuzevich (9) and Jaxyn Boucher (10)

House Life

More than 100 people joined us for the inaugural Riley Trivia Night in Week 4. This year we pitted Riley family against Riley family to see who has the brains amongst us. It was a closely fought battle through the four rounds but the victorious team were Seventh Heaven! Congratulations to all involved in the team. Thank you to the wonderful House parents, led by Ms Nicky Clark, who helped with the setup of the venue and making the beautiful desserts to accompany the main tapas style meal. Riley Prefects Vidur Sehgal, Jim Bridger and Jye Davies worked tirelessly behind the scenes and on the night to ensure the event ran smoothly. They were perfect quizmasters. Thank you to the generous Riley families who donated special gifts for the raffle. The proceeds from this raffle raised funds for the Salvation Army, an amazing organisation that helps those who are most in need in our community. 

Riley House went into this year’s Inter-house Debating competition as the hot favourites to take back the crown. Due to our debating guru Isaac Roati’s involvement in the Senior A Debating team, he was not permitted to debate for us this year. Were we worried? No! Because up steps Oliver Bryans, willing to put himself on the line for his Riley brothers. Similar to Leo last year, Oliver had never debated before but he did us proud and I think he may now have the debating bug. So, this year’s team was made up of Oliver Bryans (9), Leo De Clara (10) and Daniel Kuskie (11), and what a team they were! These boys debated with style, skill and pure passion! Unfortunately we went down in the Semi Final to Barrett House. Aside from the fantastic debating, the standout part of this year’s competition was the Riley supporters. Each round we filled the room with a sea of Riley. Well done to all! 

Inter-house Athletics also took place this term and the Riley boys fought a hard battle on the track and in the field. It was a little disappointed to see such a high number of absences on the day. Our success at Inter-house events is based on numbers, so having all the Riley men out in force is what makes as a strong team. When nearly 25 per cent of the House are absent it leaves us weak. Having said that, we came a respectable sixth place. A big thank you to those boys who were present and worked hard to keep Riley House in that position. 

Spiritual Life

Our Year 7 boys attended their Galilee Day retreat, which was an opportunity for them to reflect on their Nudgee College journey so far, and to think about how they can be Signum Fidei – ‘Signs of Faith’ and servants to others. Year 11 students James Armitage, Declan Ford, Daniel Kuskie, Joshua Bryans and Malakai Vale helped run the day. They showed great leadership and maturity, and engaged with the boys in a very positive way. Thanks also to Cooper Corless, Aidan Richards, Dylan Nichols and Henry McGown who assisted the Year 9 boys during their Powerhouse Day. Well done to our up and coming 2020 leaders!

Sporting Life

• Tennis Best Team Man Awards: Alec Reverente, Dylan Nichols, Issac Mills, Tim Herbert, Oliver Chaffey
• Football Best Team Man Awards: William Beauchamp, Rowan Macrae
• 1st V Basketball: Joshua Clark
• 1st XV Rugby: Trezman Banjo

Term 4 will be over all too quickly for our Seniors but, for our continuing students, it offers a tremendous opportunity for the boys to refine their homework and study routines in preparation for a new year level in 2020. I encourage the boys to revisit their Start of Semester (SOS) goals and consider how successful they have been in working towards these.

Please plan haircuts before then, and check if those khaki shirts still fit.

I hope the boys have a wonderful break and return energised and ready for Term 4.

Prayers and best wishes to you all.

Ms Lynsey Hale
Riley House Dean

Term 3 is always an action-packed time for the students of Nudgee College and I continue to be impressed by the calibre of Ross House students and their achievements. Our Year 12 gentlemen are one step closer to their final term at Nudgee College and we are looking forward to supporting them over the next few months so they can enjoy and make the most of the fantastic experiences that make up their final few weeks at school. It was a term filled to the brim with academic, cultural, social justice and sporting events, and Ross House were represented extremely well throughout all of these. It is important that we acknowledge some of the Ross House highlights of Term 3 and the impressive accomplishments of our young men:

Academic Achievements

Congratulations to our Year 12s who recently completed the final ever QCS test, and the Ross House students who were awarded the following:

• Gold Medal: William Duffield, Joe Wilson, Elfie Piper, Spencer Green, Antoine Roberts, Ben Gunter, Hunter Lim, Owen Mitchell, Ben Weber, Hayden Bygott
• Silver Medal: Paddy Townsend, Jack Hallett, Caine Day, Declan Townsend, Cooper Tamer, Mattias Dahlstedt, Ethan Irvine
• Bronze Medal: Tom Duffield, Winston Jory, William Clarke, Zachary Manitta, Hamish Munt, Chad Oehlman, Tallis Payne, Joseph Picone, Josh Sculpher, Noah McFadyen, Morgan O’Dwyer

Activities

Congratulations to the Ross House students who were members of the following 1st squads, representative teams or received Best Team Man awards:

• Rugby 1st XV: Lastus Auakai, Braythen Porter
• Football Best Team Man: Ethan Irvine (Open 4th XV), Hugh O’Regan (11F), Joseph Curran (9B), Alessio Bianchi (9D)
• Tennis Best Team Man: Dusty Piper (7A)

Inter-house Debating: WE WON! A massive congratulations must go to Ben Weber, Mattias Dahlstedt and Ben Gunter, who represented Ross House with an impressive display of verbal jousting. The boys were prepared, fired-up and outstanding when the pressure was on in the Final. A huge thank you must also go to Lastus Auakai, who was part of the team in the early rounds of competition.

Inter-house Athletics: One of the characteristics of Ross House that always impresses me is the sense of team spirit and the boys’ willingness to turn up and have a go for their House. Ross House came fifth place overall in what was a very tight leader board in the middle. The future is definitely looking bright, as there were some outstanding results in our junior ranks and their spirit was infectious. Well done boys!  

Events

Congratulations to our Year 12 students who attended the Senior Formal at the RNA Convention Centre and our Year 11 students who attended the Semi Formal at Eagle Farm Racecourse. Our boys looked very dashing in their suits and they took great care of their partners on what were both great evenings.

Social Justice

Well done to the many Ross students who are involved in the variety of social justice opportunities on offer at Nudgee College. We continued to raise money for our House Charity via Mr Karim Sedour’s famous ‘crush burgers’, which sold out in record time down at the Junior School. There will be a push for more student involvement in fundraising initiatives next term. We are looking forward to hearing about our Year 10 students’ Immersion experience, which are currently taking place. The Year 10 Immersion Program provides students with the opportunity to learn about local or global issues through working with local communities or travelling to places such as Papua New Guinea or Buru.

Ross House Function

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend this year’s Ross House Function at King Pin Bowling at Chermside. It was a relaxed Sunday evening session of banter and bowling. Thank you to everyone who could make it.

Thank you Mr Sedour

Thank you to Mr Karim Sedour who did a great job as Acting Ross House Dean in the first six weeks of Term 3. His leadership and care for the young men of Ross House was outstanding.

We are looking forward to Term 4 with a few highlights certainly being the Inter-house Showcase night and the celebration of the end of Year 12 for our Seniors. I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable September break.

Mr Michael Byrne
Ross House Dean

The best way to end Term 3 was a visit from our wonderful House Patron Ms Maggie Shaw. Maggie joined the community for our Bake Day to help celebrate the end of term, end of QCS and to wish the boys well in their exams. The boys hold two things close to their hearts – Bake Days and Maggie – and what a great way to combine the two!

Term 3 began with the recognition of excellence to many of our Shaw students. It was with great pleasure the community welcomed Eyzaiah Ulia as Mid Year Prefect. His commitment to the College and Shaw House has been outstanding and was rewarded with a leadership position. This brings our Prefect body to four outstanding young men ‘modelling the way’ in 2019. Several Shaw students were also rewarded for their outstanding sporting prowess: Jacob Martin, Jazz Born and Eric Yang (1st IV Chess); and Eyzaiah Ulia and Will Jones (1st XV Rugby). I would also like to congratulate Tennis Best Team Man Award recipients Tom Ibrahim and Jazz Born.

Our outstanding efforts continued in the classroom with a record number of Shaw students achieving academic awards. Congratulations to the following students:

• Gold: Tom Kewley, Sam Kewley, George Gillam, Jacob Gillam, Archie Wallis, Ian Panathon, Alex tran, Oliver horwood, Xavier Nicolaidis, Xavier bundock, Marcus Cutuli, Christian Thompson
• Silver: James Gray, Angus Durkin, Archie Zane, Xavier Cutuli, Alex Patti, Thomas Mallet, Tyler O’Keefe, Sam Rogers, Danny Tang, Max Grant, Joe Stark
• Bronze: Billy Grace, Ash Tayler, Christian Rogers, Mitchell Gray, Frank Bundock, Jack Carmichael, Rodin Martin, Manraj Birk, Tom Enders
• Principal’s Award: Billy Carmichael, Will Jones

Wow! Well done to all Shaw students who worked to achieve the very best results to the best of their ability.

This term, Year 7 Shaw took part in the Galilee Day retreat at Shorncliffe Beach. As part of the Student Formation Program, several Year 11 mentors joined the younger students to reflect on their Nudgee College journey thus far and spoke to the Year 7 students about what challenges might face them in their future years, and how to face those challenges with resilience. Thank you to Year 11 students Xavier Nicolaidis, Dylan Hackett, Christian Setefano, Henry Wallis, Howard Yanda and Manraj Birk for being such positive role models on the day. What a glorious day at the beach it was! The Year 10 students are currently on their Immersion Program and we wish them all the very best as this program would be one of our most rewarding and meaningful opportunities that Nudgee College boys experience at the College. From Papua New Guinea to Buru, to Behind the Wire and Starlight, the students will participate in meaningful social justice programs, which are central to our Catholic ethos.

Many Shaw students also participated in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Congratulations James Gray, Isaak Simpson, Jovan Singh, Riley Doherty, George Gillam, Charlie James, Alex Patti, Bailey Brandtman, Jacob Gillam, Jack Wright, Eric Yang, Harveer Birk, Des Cowley, Rodin Martin, Ian Pantaleon and Sam Rogers.

Special mention must be made to the Shaw House Prefects and Big Brothers for their continued dedication and outstanding commitment to all things ‘Shaw’, and for leading the House to victory at Inter-house Track and Field or the third year in a row! The boys have been outstanding in their leadership, effort and good grace. 

An amazing 13 Year 11 Shaw students have applied for leadership positions for 2020. These include Manraj Birk, Jazz Born, Charlie Coote, Max Grant, Dylan Hackett, Oliver Horwood, Will Jones, Xavier Nicolaidis, Christian Setefano, Kye Tancred, Henry Wallis, Oahua Davey-Phillips, Horward Yanda and Joshua Papa. We wish these students every success in the coming weeks and congratulate them on their nominations. Our last House Mass was a very special event as it was the last House Mass for our Year 12 Shaw students. Shaw and Tierney House joined together to share this moment with our Senior students. 

As always, I am extremely proud of the fine young men of Shaw House and I congratulate them on their success this term and the community that they represent. A very sincere thank you must also be extended to our wonderful parents who continue to support the Shaw community with Bake Days, raffle prizes and for supporting the many House activities and drives! To our House parents, my sincere thank you for all the grace you bring to the community. Thank you also to the many generous parent helpers who have supported all things Shaw. 

Term 3 has been another action packed, exciting, challenging and rewarding term. In true form, the Shaw students rose to the occasion by excelling in academic, sporting and cultural activities.  Events such as the Year 12 Formal, Year 11 Semi Formal, Year 10 Immersion Program, QCS, Galilee Day, GPS Rugby, Basketball and Chess, music performances, Dimensions Arts Festival, Shaw House Social Justice Week, Year 6 camp, Year 7 and 9 Retreat days, saw students in all year levels kept busy in all areas of College life. Congratulations on an excellent and exciting term.

Lastly, may we continue to hold our families who have experienced stressful times, illness and the loss of loved ones close in our thoughts and hearts. In particular, we pray for the Pritchard-Malaki family.

I wish everyone a safe and relaxing break and look forward to Term 4.

Ms Robyn Mann
Shaw House Dean

Throughout the term each year level has shared its own significant moments, from retreats to the highs and lows of the sporting fields, our Dimensions Arts Festival and the final QCS test. A significant moment for Tierney at the start of this term was Henry Kennedy being awarded a Mid Year Prefect position. While Henry continues to serve our Junior School students as a Big Brother, it was wonderful to see him recognised for his ongoing commitment to the wider College community. Currently our Year 10 students are embracing the Immersion experience that has become such a valued part of our retreat program. 

While Tierney students and staff continued to have an active presence in our many social justice programs, it was Year 8 student Tobias Berry who raised the most funds for the Walk for Edmund fundraiser this year. Tobias was recognised at an Assembly earlier this term and is to be congratulated for his commitment to this worthy cause. This was backed up by the support of numerous Tierney students who gave of their own time and effort to support the Walk for Edmund event. 

The Inter-house rivalry continued this term in Debating, with our Tierney team eventually beaten by the winning Ross House team. Mentored by Prefect Izaac Fiorini and Tierney PC tutor Mr Neil Poppleton, our team worked exceptionally well together and were strong contenders throughout the competition. Congratulations to Simon Vollert, Shannen Gerard Solker and Declan Cabot on their efforts in representing Tierney. 

Nudgee College activities continued after school and on weekends, with our Tierney men representing the blue and white army in Rugby, Basketball, Chess and Debating. Additionally our boys in the Cattle Club did a tremendous job at the Ekka, achieving much success.  Congratulations to every student who participated in one or more of these activities, as well as the many Tierney PC tutors who coached, managed and supported our students throughout the term. Honourable mentions for Term 3 go to the following students: Tevita Mapa and Jock Thompson (1st XV Rugby); Henry Kennedy (1st IV Chess Captain); Zac Bosuen (1st V Basketball Captain); and Matthew Smith and Will Smith (1st V Basketball).

Well done also to our Best Team Man Award recipients:

• Football: Bill Ingham-Myers (11D), Henry Zeitoun (9C), Ethan Rigby (8A), William Kewley (7E), Angus Casey (6D), Kane Walsh (5B), Isaac Langestraat (5E)
• Tennis: Patrick Kennedy (8A), Henry Christofferson (8C), Will Dean (6B), Ben Somers (5A)

Congratulations to the following students who were awarded Academic Medals:

• Gold: Baxter Witteveen, William Dallimore, Jack Weaver, Johnson Meraveka, Lachlan Cullum, Andrew Tora, Jack Barry, Jesse Dando, Simon Vollert, Nick Bell, Declan Cabot, Sam Schimming, Henry Kennedy, Ethan Ferraro, Ricky Penson, Christopher Neroni, Callum McArthur, Patrick Cabot, Connor Chistiakoff, Giacomo Keable
• Silver: Elliot Shaw, Cooper Johnston, Thomas Connellan, Tom Shaw, Fletcher Dunn, Josh Ferns, Izaac Fiorini, Bill Banks
• Bronze: Charles Dallimore, Ashley Wong, Tom Sands, Harrison Smythe, Zachary Krogh, Harrison Swane, Sam Roche

Additionally, the following Tierney students were recognised for their exceptional application of learning habits: Billy Connellan (Year 5), Matthew Rostron (Year 7), Daniel Rostron (Year 7), Simon Vollert (Year 10) and Declan Cabot (Year 11).

Tierney House joined with Riley House to celebrate Mass in the Chapel again this term. This was a wonderful final House Mass for our 2019 Seniors. Additionally, our Year 7 students experienced their first high school retreat experience in the beautiful surroundings of Shorncliffe, while our Year 9s attended the Powerhouse Day. A huge thanks to the following Year 11s who assisted with these significant events: Jayden Helmstedt, Joshua Coughlan, Ryan Trout, Jack Davies, Tevita Mapa, Cooper Green, Denzel Huuma, Declan Cabot, Jack Peart, Bill Ingham-Myers and Isaac Cunningham.

This term Tierney House hosted the Tierney on the Green function for the second year in a row.  This informal Sunday afternoon gathering was well supported and proved a wonderful opportunity for our community to support our House charity the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Personally, a highlight was the music provided by our very own talented Fletcher Dunn, Cliff Nali and Denzel Huuma. A huge thanks to those who were able to support the function and to those who helped set up, pack up and cook the barbecue throughout the afternoon. 

Finally I’d like to thank each and every Tierney student for their efforts to engage with the opportunities Term 3 has presented and the way in which they connect with their Tierney peers in and around our PC classes. The authentic way in which our young men connect with each other and their PC tutors is what makes our community so vibrant. I wish each and every Tierney student and their family a safe and happy holiday break.

Tierney House Dean

Despite the enormous build-up, my first experience of Term 3 at Nudgee College did not disappoint. This place really does come alive between July and September. Whilst sport in Term 3 brings Nudgee Spirit into the spotlight, there is also an undercurrent of important milestones and academic pursuits that make this period so important. As Mr Peter Fullagar says, this is the ‘premiership quarter’. To note all of the important moments is impossible, but these are just a few highlights:

• The Year 12 Formal
• Year 10 Immersion
• Cotter House Bowling Night
• The Birthday BBQ
• The Suncorp Stadium match
• The Year 11 Semi Formal
• The staff versus students touch match
• Rugby, Basketball and Chess fixtures
• Theatresports
• The completion of QCS

As I said, there were many more moments that made this term so special. Often, in Boarding, I find that spontaneous and unexplainable moments are the most meaningful. A conversation in the kitchen over supper or a hotly contested table tennis match can often remind me of how special the Boarding community is. Overall, amongst the business and busyness of Term 3, the boys have found time to enjoy their time together as boarders, nay, brothers. 

As Term 4 approaches, there is a feeling of excitement in the air; however, there is also a sense of trepidation. I know that a number of Year 12s are starting to ride the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the final chapter of school. As parents, I am sure it will feel a little strange dropping your son off for his last term in Cotter House. Whilst Term 4 is certainly not all about the Year 12s, it is certainly a special time for them and we look forward to celebrating. There are plenty of exciting opportunities coming up for our other year levels too, with leadership opportunities knocking on the door and the Track and Field season kicking into gear.

I hope that everyone enjoys some much needed family time over the holidays and returns refreshed for the final leg of 2019. 

One final reminder, please ensure that all boys return well-groomed, with haircuts that abide by the College’s policy. We would hate to start off on the wrong foot. 

Mr Casey Brealy
Head of Cotter Boarding House

Hodda Family

At the start of the term, it has become tradition for Hodda parents to gather and meet for some drinks and nibbles. That’s how we started Term 3 and that’s how we’ll start Term 4. I encourage all of you who are in Brisbane for the start of next term to join us as we get to know other parents and share some stories. This is all about building the Hodda and Nudgee College sense of family.

Then on the first weekend in, all the Hodda boys went out to Shorncliffe Pier to enjoy our inaugural Hodda BBQ by the Bay. It was a great night and we will try it again next term. Again, it was excellent to enjoy some relaxing time with the boys and to enjoy the meal and conversation.

Year 10 Immersions

The Year 10 Immersions are on again this week, and we have many boys travelling and getting involved in what will be an amazing experience. The Immersions will challenge them physically and emotionally, but I know from experience, they will come back bigger and better from the journeys they shared and the people they met. 

Hodda Leaders

Although, we are fortunate to have our Hodda House leaders, Hamish Smith and Yiddy Nethery, we are also lucky to have many boys who display great leadership day in and day out in the House, which staff really appreciate. I would like to celebrate some of those boys now. Here are the boys who have won the Hodda Cup this term. This award goes to boys for their leadership, study, contribution and overall conduct: CJ Ransome, Henry Kidd, Josh Nakin, Cliff Nali, Thomas Maxa, Louis Turvey and Jack Carmichael. Well done to these boys and the way they have shown all the boys in Hodda what it takes to be gentlemen and Signum Fidei – ‘Signs of Faith’.

Returning

Can I please ask that you ensure your son comes back to Boarding with an appropriate haircut, proper uniforms (summer next term), labelled clothing, a blue drawstring laundry bag and all his equipment to start school like a calculator, books, etc. It is difficult for us to start the term by having to chase boys up who have had all holidays to get these things right. We’d rather simply be welcoming them back as opposed to talking to them about haircuts and the like. Your cooperation is very much appreciated. The boys will need their winter uniforms as well due to the number of formal occasions and farewells.

Hodda Formal Dinner

We had our Hodda Christmas in July Dinner earlier this term and it was amazing. Can I thank all the boys and staff who attended, and in particular, Ms Julie Kopittke and Mr Alan McLean for their planning efforts. They really did a wonderful job in preparing the night, which was fun for all. To all the parents and staff who also attended and had fun with the boys, we really appreciate the time and energy you brought to the evening.

Mr Ken Mitchell
Head of Hodda Boarding House

From the outset, the Murphy men were busy in Term 3, continually involving themselves heavily in academic, sporting and cultural activities. A highlight for me was the first Friday night activity with the whole of Murphy attending a bonfire and hungi down the back of the College. It was great to see boys from all year levels sitting around the fire listening to music and enjoying each other’s company. Other events such as the Year 12 Formal, Year 11 Semi Formal, Year 10 Immersion program, QCS, GPS Rugby, Basketball and Chess, music performances, and the Dimensions Arts Festival have kept the boys very busy and we are all looking forward to a well earnt rest.

Congratulations to the Murphy REBEL winners for Term 3: 

• Year 10: Basil Nolan
• Year 12: Jye Davies
• Year 11: Jordan Ball

Start of Term 4 

Boarding students are welcome to return to the Boarding House between 3.00pm and 7.00pm on Monday 7 October. If your son will be returning at a later time, please communicate the details of his travel as soon as possible. 

Weekend one of the term will again be a closed weekend, with activities being organised by year level leaders. I look forward to again sharing this weekend with the boys as it is a great way to start the term and build on culture within the Boarding community.

We return to our summer uniform from the beginning of Term 4, but students will still need their formal uniform for end of year functions, and other events during the term. Please ensure your son returns with his blazer and at least one white shirt (Year 11 and 12 boarders will need at least two).

A reminder to parents and caregivers to ensure that your son returns with an appropriate haircut and is cleanly shaved. Boys should not have any colour or ‘tracks’ in their hair. Hair should not cover the ears, collar or eyebrows. 

Below are a few key dates for Term 4:

• 24 October: Boarding Formal Dinner
• 29 November: End of Term 4 for Years 5 to 11 (12.00pm)
• 31 October: Boarders’ Rites of Passage
• 4 November: College Awards Night
• 6 November: Year 12 Rose Garden Farewell
• 13 November: Year 12 Boarders’ Farewell Dinner
• 14 November: Year 12 moving day and Valedictory 

Mr Ben Ralston
Head of Murphy Boarding House

It has once again been another hectic term in O’Brien Boarding House.  With Rugby, Basketball, Chess, Cattle Club, veggie garden and pre-season Track and Field, Term 3 sees the greatest co-curricular involvement from our young men. We also saw a number of boys’ artworks/photos in the Dimensions Arts Festival, which was pleasing to see. Between the many sporting and cultural activities on offer this term, the boys were kept busy with recreational trips to locations such as Cedar Creek, the Ekka, Boondall Ice Skating Centre, Chermside Shopping Centre, Eat Street Markets and Southbank.

This term also saw the College host the Boarders’ Bash, which was greatly attended by O’Brien families. Events such as these are such an important opportunity for parents to come together and create friendships. A massive thank you must go to Ms Larissa Patti, Ms Suzanne Colette and Ms Megan Brealy for their preparation for this event. Parents are reminded of the meet and greet in the Boarding Village when they return their sons in Term 4 (Monday 7 October) at 5.00pm – all are invited.

This term we also took the opportunity to celebrate the success and academic improvements made by many of our boarders in Semester 1. Congratulations to the following boys who were acknowledged for their outstanding Semester 1 report in relation to classroom application and participation, organisation for class, classroom behaviour, study habits and homework:

• Nash Watt
• Byron Cason
• Thomas Hansson
• Jack Hallett
• Mathew Blums
• Luke Cowley
• Finnigan O’Rielley
• Wil O’Rielley
• Des Cowley
• Harrison Knox

The following boys were also acknowledged for their significant academic improvements from Semester 2, 2018 to Semester 1, 2019:

• Samson Naawi
• Joaquin Tulloch
• Kai Combarngo
• Daniel O’Sullivan
• Ben Perrett
• Dean Scholes
• Hamish Needham
• Charlie Dezius
• Will Howard
• Angus Wishart
• Dylan Searson
• Zachary Wapau
• Luke O’Sullivan

We have also begun our process to selecting our 2020 O’Brien Boarding Leaders. The following young men should be congratulated for putting their hand up to be considered for the position: Myles Armstrong, Archie Wilson, Dean Scholes, Daniel O’Sullivan, Angus Wishart, Ben Mills, Thomas Hansson, Jack Weise and Genjirou Sato. Boarders and staff were then asked to vote and a shortlist for interviews will be developed for the start of Term 4. 

As the boys near the end of the year, I think it is important that we reflect on the O’Brien Boarding House value of ‘the little things matter’. We have been so fortunate this year to have such wonderful young men who have embraced this value in everything they do – from the high standards of their rooms each morning, to the accuracy and transparency of their leave applications. I know that the foundation we are giving them during their time in the O’Brien Boarding House is not only setting themselves up well to succeed in a senior Boarding Houses, but more importantly, for the rest of their life.

Just a final reminder that the first weekend in Term 4 is a closed weekend and it is expected that all boys stay in for the duration of the weekend. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

I wish you all a safe and restful break with your son and look forward to catching up with you all before the end of the year.

Mr Jeff Campbell
Head of O’Brien Boarding House
