The generosity of our staff in delivering so many opportunities to our students is amazing. Without them undertaking this volunteer work we would not be able to deliver such a comprehensive program for our community. Thank you to all staff members involved. 

I also take this opportunity to thank “The Faithful” our parent supporters group for stepping in and assisting with the running of events such as the Musical barbeque. This supports us greatly!

From the Deputy Principal

I would like to wish everyone well as school holiday’s begin. Looking back at this Term just completed, there is much to acknowledge and celebrate as a vibrant, inclusive, faith-informed learning community.

With all the sporting, artistic and academic excellence opportunities that abound at the College, there is something for each student to add to their daily classroom experience. All this within our tradition of reaching out to help others (thank you to all those supporting the Vinnies Winter Appeal) and recognising that our learning is a means to eventually help others, to better understand the wonder of the creation we have been gifted and to care for, and to enhance our innate human capacity for curiosity. We started this Term with the Easter experience, progressed through the Month of Mary, and recognised the mission call of Pentecost.

The holiday period is meant to be one of rejuvenation and re-energising of spirit. I urge students to try something new – a book, a mini-doco, a puzzle, a helping hand, a new project around the house. Bring back a fresh perspective for Term 3.

It is also a time to check on student learning and organisation. Have meaningful conversations about the student reports, celebrate successes, talk about futures, check on learning materials and uniforms. This will help start Term 3 well.

Keep in mind that the start of the term begins with a Student Free Day to assist teachers prepare the learning programs. Look out for reminders about the different camps, parent-teacher-student opportunities and Year level events such as the Year 10 SET planning too.

A reminder that Ms Angela Thomas will return as Deputy Principal Term 3. It has been a fantastic experience Acting in her role during Term 2, the learnings I hope to enhance my typical role as AP-Religious Education.

Student Free Dates 2025

Please note the following student free days for 2025.  This will also be recorded in the Parent Portal/BCE Connect announcements and events/calendar:

From the Assistant Principal, Religious Education

Ignite Conference

This year Clairvaux MacKillop College is offering for students the opportunity to attend the Ignite Conference. This is an annual event held at St Laurence’s College from Friday, 26^th – Sunday, 28^th September. The Ignite Conference is held in Brisbane, organised by the Emmanuel Community; a Catholic community whose ministries strive to bring Christ to the world. The event combines live music, keynote speakers, local artists and workshops.

Students have been emailed further details along with an Expression of Interest form. Please have a conversation with your child about this opportunity and if they are interested, remind them that they need to complete the Expression of Interest form.

Year 10 Community Engagement

Every year, the College offers our Year 10 students the opportunity to experience faith in action. Our Year 10 cohort have spent the first two terms volunteering with different organisations. Activities range from pulling out weeds on Mount Gravatt mountain, to playing Snakes and Ladders with the residents of Levande Greenleaves retirement community. It is great to see our students sharing their unique gifts and talents with the wider community. We look forward to continuing this work with the Year 10 students as they live out the words of our founder Mary MacKillop, “Never see a need without doing something about it”.

Year 7 Faith Formation

In recent weeks, Year 7 students visited St Bernard’s Catholic Church as part of their ongoing faith formation. Fr Frances and Pauline, Upper Mount Gravatt Parish Assistant, were on hand to answer questions and guide students in their exploration of the church. Students were inquisitive and respectful of this sacred space. Students also attended mass on Tuesday with students from St Bernard’s Primary School and members of the parish community.

From the Assistant Principal, Teaching and Learning

Reports

Reports will be available on Friday afternoon for Years 7-10 for Semester 1, Year 11 for Unit 1 and Year 12 for Unit 3.

For all Year levels, students will receive a judgement on their work practices based on their Effort, Preparation, Behaviour and if an interview has been requested by the classroom teacher.

On Tuesday, 29 July, Parent Teacher Student Conferences (Interviews) will take place from 3pm.  A separate email will explain the process for booking Parent – Teacher – Student Interviews and this will be sent out next Term.

When bookings open, Parents and Carers are welcome to book interviews with their child’s subject teacher, if you would like to discuss your child’s progress.  In some cases, the subject teacher has requested an interview to discuss the student’s progress and ways to improve learning.

New Reporting Platform

You will notice that this report looks a little different to previous years.  This is due to a new platform that Brisbane Catholic Education has rolled out called The Learning Dashboard. 

As you may expect with anything new, there are some aspects that need to be ironed out so that the platform works appropriately in our school’s context.

Accessing Progress Reports

Academic Reports are published on the Parent Portal and the BCE Connect App all year round. 

The latest version of the BCE Connect App is 4.1.  This means that you may need to manually update the app to the latest version, depending on your device settings.  The latest version is now available for both android and ios mobile devices.

Please log into the BCE Connect App and select your student.  To access the report, please select The Learning Dashboard tab (not Academic Reports).

The screenshots below show you how to access the report:

Please note that the Reports are only on display for the current academic year.  It is strongly recommended that you download the report to your own device.

Should you have difficulty accessing the reports through the Parent Portal and BCE Connect App, the College Office will be able to assist you.  Please note that this new Reporting platform means that we are no longer able to print out reports for you.

From the Assistant Principal, Student Wellbeing

End of Term Reflection: Celebrating Our Students' Achievements

As we conclude another successful semester, it is with great pride that we reflect on the remarkable efforts and achievements of our students. Throughout the term, our students have demonstrated exceptional dedication to their studies, consistently completing their work with diligence and enthusiasm.

Most of our students have shown commendable respect and adherence to the school's uniform policy. By wearing the correct uniform, they have not only upheld the school's standards but also fostered a sense of unity and pride within our community.

As we look forward to Term 3, we would like to remind everyone of the winter uniform requirements. Students are expected to wear their blazers as the first layer of their formal uniform. Please note that sports jackets are not permitted with the formal uniform. Additionally, students must be clean-shaven and may wear one earring in the lower lobe. If necessary, clear flat studs will be allowed moving forward.

We are confident that our students will continue to uphold these standards and embrace the new term with the same level of commitment and respect they have shown throughout this semester. Let us all strive to make Term 3 another period of growth, learning, and achievement.

Best wishes for the holidays and we look forward to seeing you for another successful term in Term 3!

Public Transport

🚍 Attention Students and Families! 🚍

It has come to our attention that a number of students are not tapping their Go cards on or off public transport.  It is important that this happens as it helps drivers keep track of passenger numbers (managing service demand), supports public transport funding and ensures everyone gets the best service possible.

Please discuss the importance of this with your student.

From the Pastoral Team

Year 11

Time to Challenge – Year 11 Leadership Camp

Two weeks ago, our Year 11 students embarked on a three-day Leadership Development Program at the Luther Heights Camp, Coolum. The program has helped to prepare them for their leadership role as seniors in 2026. College staff that attended would gladly testify to the success of the camp and the high level of student participation in all the activities offered.

We were blessed with perfect weather that only enhanced student engagement.  It was also pleasing to receive compliments from the camp venue facilitators, on how well behaved and connected our students were with the camp program.  Having witnessed the student exchanges firsthand, the camp has given many of our students a newfound confidence in themselves and extended their levels of trust in their peers.

The goal of the camp was to both challenge and build leadership capacity in our students, helping them recognise that they each have the ability to influence others in a positive and supportive way.  The students enjoyed various activities including zip line, beach activities, mini-Olympics and an indoor leadership programme.

The camp culminated in a liturgy on the second night with students coming together to create the transformation image of a butterfly symbolising their transition into College Leaders for 2026. The program design sought to prepare students to successfully understand, interact and co-operate with each other and judging by the student feedback, the camp was a huge success, and we look forward to our 2026 seniors building and leading an even stronger College community.

Time to Lead - WAM Year 11 – Eric Bailey

As part of our Student Leadership program, our Year 11 cohort was treated to a visit from a College guest speaker regular, ex Pro-Basketballer, Mr Eric Bailey. Eric is a former basketball player with the Hobart Devils, Melbourne Tigers and Gold Coast Rollers in the National Basketball League. He spoke with our students on the topic of Leadership and made the clear point that we all have the potential to lead though powerful positive influence. Eric’s entertaining speaking style allowed him to communicate powerful messages on how young people can “find their motivation” and “step up” to the challenges of life and the inevitable setbacks we all face.

Eric shared some of his personal journey growing up in a poverty-stricken area of Los Angeles and making his way through high school and on to college basketball. His humorous and entertaining speaking style allowed him to connect with students on the value of “taking action today” and never giving up. A valuable lesson that many of our Year 11s could learn from.

Time to Celebrate – Year 11 Leadership Launch

Year 11 families will be emailed a letter in week 1 of next term highlighting all the information surrounding the Year 11 Leadership Launch Tuesday 12 August at SUNPAC (Sunnybank Performing Arts and Cultural Centre). We understand that many students will be using the holidays to sort out their attire for the evening. Accordingly, it is worth noting that Semi-Formal attire is generally an outfit that is dressier than what a student might wear to a significant family gathering but not as dressy as a formal evening gown.

In line with keeping costs down it is important that students realise that this is a College function, therefore the dress standards should be modest and appropriate for a dignified College function. We are not encouraging families to go to the major expenses involved with clothing, hairstyles or transport that you might for a Year 12 Formal. I would encourage any student with any concern regarding their outfit for the evening to please check in with their Homeroom teacher.

Academic Excellence News

Year 7 and 8

Academic Excellence excursion

A recent visit to Queensland Museum’s Discovering Ancient Egypt exhibition proved to be an enlightening time for Strand A students in the Year 7 and 8 Academic Excellence program. The exhibition, on loan from the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities, offered our students a rare glimpse into the culture, daily life and beliefs practiced in Ancient Egypt.

Students engaged with artefacts such as Book of the Dead scrolls, precious jewellery and incredible artwork. But perhaps the most remarkable was the gallery that housed five mummified individuals.  Reflecting on both the process of mummification and realisation that encased in the tightly wrapped linen bandages were people who had once walked the ancient sands beside the Nile River, students were moved around the gallery in respectful contemplation.

After the tour through the Ancient Egyptian exhibition, students were permitted to visit other areas of the museum. They are to be congratulated on their respectful behaviour and engagement with displays and museum staff.

On the exhibition, I found out how people are mummified, and realised how much effort goes into the symbolic items and practices. Isabel (Year 7)

I really enjoyed visiting the Queensland Museum . . . As my friends and I walked through the exhibition, we saw so many jaw-dropping displays and objects . . . The most interesting thing . . . was looking at real mummies as they were covered with layers of bandages. Guntaas (Year 7)

During this excursion I was able to learn many new things. For example, I learnt that a stela is placed in the deceased’s tomb to offer up a prayer on their behalf. This led me to believe that Egyptians in the past had a great reverence for their gods, even in death. Isobel (Year 8)

Some book recommendations: -

Bold Ben Hall by Sophie Masson – Did you know that one of Australia’s most daring bushrangers, Ben Hall took part in the biggest gold robbery ever? Set in Canowindra, N.S.W. Masson tells the compelling story of Ben Hall, his gang and Sir Frederick Pottinger, the policeman intent on bringing the bushranger to justice. This is a gripping and unusual tale, from the annals of Australian history and folktales. Told in three parts and set in Australia’s Gold Rush era it highlights the complexities and differences in opinion on how we view our heroes and / villains of the past.

The Economy of Algorithms: AI and the Rise of Digital Minions by Marik Kaowalkiewicz – Although algorithms have been around for centuries, recently they have begun to ‘escape our understanding.’ As a result, they have been given much agency which has led to unintended consequences. According to Kaowalkiewicz, the emergence of the economy of people has taken new shape in the form of the ‘economy of algorithms.’ As Head of QUT’s Algorithmic Enterprise group, he attempts to answer probing questions on this new economy and offers nine rules as guidance and to become the minion master!

Little Bones by Sandy Bigna – A hauntingly beautiful story told in verse through the eyes of eleven-year-old, Bones. Since the death of her brother, Bones, has drifted away from her friends to spend her time drawing animal skeletons, and scavenging for items to add to her bone collection. Under the light of a full moon, she accidentally resurrects the skeleton of a baby bird. As she becomes increasingly attached to Bird and remembers what it is like to have friends, Bones is faced with the heartbreaking decision of how to reverse the secrets of the magic and learn to say goodbye.

The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think.
