October: Month of the Rosary
October is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Rosary in the Catholic Church, a time when communities around the world come together in prayer and reflection. This special focus stems from the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, celebrated on 7 October, which commemorates the victory of the Christian fleet at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. This triumph was attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary through the Rosary. Modern Catholics still embrace this tradition as a way to deepen spiritual life and connect with the broader Catholic community.
The origins of the Rosary date back to the early centuries of Christianity, but it was formalised in the 13th century by Saint Dominic, who promoted it as a tool for spiritual renewal and spreading Christianity. Over time, the Rosary became a cornerstone of Catholic devotion, endorsed by Popes and embraced by Saints. Its continuing relevance lies in its simplicity and depth. It is accessible to all yet incredibly transformative.
The Rosary is more than a string of beads. It is a powerful prayer that invites us to meditate on the life of Jesus through the eyes of Mary. Each set of prayers, known as a decade, reflects on key events called "mysteries" from the lives of Jesus and Mary. These include the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous Mysteries. Through this rhythmic and contemplative prayer process, participants are drawn into a deeper relationship with God, finding peace, guidance, and strength.

Traffic Management – Safety reminders
A reminder to all parents/carers/drivers to ensure to keep to road rules when driving through and beyond the College grounds. Young people can be unpredictable including being distracted on phones and wearing devices, therefore driver safety becomes more paramount when in the school zone. Two key reminders for drivers:
- Avoid mobile phone use while waiting for students to ensure attention is always given to pedestrian and traffic movement to avoid traffic congestion
- Ensure to only TURN LEFT between 7-9am and 2-4pm on school days
Thank you for your attention to ensure we continue to keep our community safe.
Awards Evening 2025
This year our annual Awards Evening will take place at Sleeman Centre Auditorium at Chandler, commencing at 6:30pm. We are well underway in the planning for this significant celebration of excellence. A reminder to parents and students:
- Awards are determined on Term 1-3 results only. No Term 4 data is included.
- Awards Criteria and event presentation can be found on the College website - College Awards
- Invitations for award recipients and performers were sent Friday 17/10 at 9am, via ParentSlips (email)
- All students who will be presented on stage must wear a college blazer
More information will follow as we approach this event.
Bus Safety
Due to a recent and serious incident on a Brisbane bus service, see safety reminders below for students.
Students must not stand in areas near the front and rear door that are designated as no-standing zones. To support this safety measure, we ask that you:
- Remind your child not to stand in the no-standing areas near the front and rear door.
- Encourage your child to follow the driver’s instructions if asked to move from these areas.
- Emphasise that compliance helps prevent injuries and ensures the safety of all passengers.
Thank you.

From the Assistant Principal, Student Wellbeing
Although we are beginning a new term, I want to acknowledge how close we are to our Year 12s embarking upon a new journey beyond the gates of Clairvaux. While I have only been a part of the Clairvaux community for this year, I have noticed how our Year 12 cohort is truly remarkable—not just in their academic achievements, but in the way they have faced challenges with resilience and determination. Throughout the year, they have supported one another, building a strong sense of connectedness that has enriched our whole community. Their friendliness and willingness to include others, offer a helping hand, and celebrate each other’s successes have set a wonderful example for all students. As they prepare to take their next steps, I am confident that these qualities will serve them well, and I hope they continue to foster the same spirit of unity and kindness wherever their journey leads.
I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our whole school community for your outstanding commitment to our uniform policy so far this term. Working in partnership together in this small way truly helps reinforce our shared values and commitment to the education that we as staff are wanting to provide to our students, and what parents and carers seek when sending their child to the school.
Students, I have appreciated your effort to do the right thing, and the respectful interactions most of you have had with staff when you have been addressed regarding uniform. I am impressed that the majority of students are stepping up in:
- Wearing formal school shoes as required
- Following our guidelines around jewellery and personal presentation (hair up)
- Maintaining a clean-shaven appearance
- Wearing the correct uniform on the right days
- Keeping shirts neatly tucked in
Students, while you may struggle to understand why uniform standards are important, we as adults know that standards like these are more than just rules—but rather they reinforce a sense of belonging and show the respect we have for one another and our community – just the same as any sporting team.
I hope that the positive start the student body has had will continue across this term.

Year 11
A time for Action – Unit 3 starts now.
At our Year 11 assembly this week the cohort was reminded that their Year 12 academic programme has now started with the commencement of Unit 3 across all their subjects. Accordingly, it is crucial that our students recognise that the “dress rehearsal” is over as they now take “centre stage” for the final phase of their senior schooling. Our students really need to switch on, to ensure they can maximise their success in achieving their QCE and their best possible ATAR score.
So, what does this look like for our Year 11 cohort…
- Professional Successful students come prepared for class, they are on time, and they have all their equipment and are ready and motivated for learning.
- Professional Successful students are active learners, not passive, they ask questions when they don't understand, they pre-read the textbook, they do their homework and complete set class activities.
- Professional Successful students are organised with a home study timetable and assignment schedule, they are setting aside between 2 to 3 hours of time each school night to complete homework and study.
- Professional Successful students recognise the importance of time management, getting 8 hours sleep every night, eating well and getting regular exercise, limiting social media, and keeping part time work to a maximum of 12 hours a week.
- Professional Successful students realise they are not alone, they take ownership of their lives, that there will be setbacks, but they draw on the wisdom and experience of those around them, they ask for help and support when they need it, they don't battle on alone.
We look forward to working with all our students to maximise their learning opportunities and encourage our young adults to take up the challenge of Professional Success.
A time for commitment – Uniform
As our Year 12s of 2025 begin their transition out of the College, our Year 11 cohort will be stepping up into leading the College as role models. Accordingly at our recent year level assembly, we took the opportunity to remind them of the importance of finishing the year, “neat and complete”, by maintaining our high standards across the College. It has been pleasing to see how many of our Year 11s take great pride in wearing the college uniform correctly.
As we have all year, we are seeking parental support in reminding our students that normal college uniform regulations apply right through to the last day of term, so that our future seniors may continue to model their exemplary standard for the rest of the College.

Tony De Luca,
Pastoral Leader – Year 11

Spirit Day
Future Dreams and Childhood Wishes
With only a few school days left before the external exams block, our seniors brought the energy and imagination to Spirit Day — dressing up as their future careers and the childhood dreams that first sparked their ambitions.
From doctors, teachers, nurses, vets, business professionals to photographers, superheroes, fairies and everything in between, the campus was filled with creativity, laughter, and a whole lot of heart. It was a beautiful reminder of how far they've come — and how far they're going.
Here's to the class of 2025, boldly stepping into the future while honouring the dreams that started it all.












Library News
Year 12 Return of Library Resources
As the last week of term approaches for the Year 12s there are some important housekeeping tasks that require attention. Students not taking external exams should have returned all their resources by Wednesday, 15th October 2025. For those students with external exams, the textbook relevant to the subject they are sitting the exam for should be returned on the DAY of the exam. The library will be available as a space for quiet study between exams.
Please help your student to return all resources so that the 2026 Seniors can reuse the items. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any assistance or wish to discuss the returning process of the resources.

From the STEM Corner
Opti-Minds State Championship Weekend is here!
Over the past few months, an impressive 85% of Queensland schools battled it out in regional Opti-Minds competitions, each vying for a coveted place in the State Championships. We're thrilled to announce that Clairvaux MacKillop College's Year 10 and Open STEM teams have risen to the top! They will proudly represent the Southeast Queensland Region in the Science and Technology – Division 3 and Open Divisions at the Opti-Minds State Championships, taking place at the University of Queensland on 18–19 October, 2025.
We wish our teams the very best as they showcase their creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving on the state stage!
Shaping the Future: 3 Years of Innovation in STEM at Clairvaux MacKillop College
Three years ago, Clairvaux MacKillop College took a bold step toward transforming STEM education with the introduction of three unique teaching and learning frameworks - designed specifically to enhance teaching quality, student motivation, and academic excellence. Initiated by Mrs. K. Dalglish (Head of Science) and Dr. M. Erece (STEM Co-ordinator), this visionary program has since redefined the way students engage with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in school.
These frameworks, rooted in inquiry-based learning, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and real-world application have empowered students to become critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and innovators. From hands-on engineering challenges to sustainability projects and student-led research, students are not just learning STEM but they’re living it.
The Science Department has played a pivotal role in this transformation through initiatives like SPASE initiative—a student-driven program that was recently named a finalist for Best Curricular Program in STEM—and the Girls in STEM initiative, led by Mrs. Heelass (Teacher-in-Charge), which continues to break down barriers and inspire young women to pursue careers in STEM fields.
This year, the College’s commitment to innovation and excellence was recognised on the national stage, with Clairvaux MacKillop College named a finalist for Best STEM Program in Australia at the 2025 Australian Education Awards for Excellence - a proud and well-earned achievement.
As we mark this three-year milestone, the future of STEM at Clairvaux has never looked brighter. With passionate educators, motivated students, and a shared vision for success, our College continues to lead the way in shaping the next generation of scientists, engineers, and changemakers.
Published on the Global Stage
The impact of Clairvaux MacKillop College’s STEM frameworks has extended far beyond the classroom. Recently, these innovative teaching models were featured in the international education publication Age of Awareness, where best-practice approaches for driving student engagement and academic excellence are published to a global audience of educators. Dr. Erece, one of the program’s key architects, was invited to be one of only 1,500 contributing authors where he shared our school’s pedagogy in a reading audience of over 500,000 educators monthly from all continents.

Student STEM Voice
We wanted to hear from the Students of the Year 10.2 STEM class of 2025 share their thoughts about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) at Clairvaux MacKillop College so you can hear it from their perspective.
- What do you enjoy most about STEM subjects at Clairvaux MacKillop College?
What I love most about STEM is the way it challenges me to think differently. It's not just about memorising facts – it’s about solving problems creatively. The hands-on projects are my favourite part, especially when we get to think outside of the box and essentially build from scratch. - Abby M - Can you describe a memorable STEM project, experiment, or activity you’ve done this year?
The Opti-minds and parachute unit were most memorable. Opti-minds was a very hands-on unit where the majority of the class time was spent building our machine, the unit was formatted very differently from a normal assignment, as it was primarily hands-on and had external elements to do with the Opti-minds competition outside of school. - Sophie H. - How do your STEM classes prepare you for future careers or studies?
STEM has completely changed the way I approach challenges. It’s taught me to be detail-oriented and curious, and it’s sparked a genuine love for science. these classes have helped me to discover my future career: becoming a forensic scientist. - Abby M. - Have you taken part in any STEM-related clubs, competitions, or excursions? What was that experience like?
I have taken part in a stem program called SuperGEMS which partnered with Griffith University and Supercars Australia, which has been a great experience and I have felt very lucky to be part of the program as it ties in with my future career path and grants exposure to the industry. - Sophie H. - Which STEM subject (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Maths) do you find the most interesting, and why?
I find engineering the most interesting because after you do all the theory and calculations, you get to build your design and see it come to life. This also allows you to see the way that objects function. - Claya D.
I find the STEM Subject of Science to be the most intriguing as it has vast applications throughout the real world and is a crucial part of our advancing society. - N. Sandhu - What advice would you give to younger students who are just starting out in STEM?
I would say that even though STEM may seem quite daunting/scary, don’t be discouraged, as someone who had no previous experience with STEM, I felt the same way, but the key is persistence and hard work. Do not procrastinate, if you have a month to work on your assignment, then work on it for the whole month; do not leave your work to the last second, as that will be your downfall. Work hard and long on your assignments, and do not be afraid to ask for help. - Kotaro S.
I would tell them to think outside the box and be creative. - Zander W. - If you could design your own STEM project or experiment, what would it be about?
All groups must make machines/robots to compete against each other in completing household tasks, but are also allowed to have elements that get in the way of other teams. Play is encouraged.
A renewable energy experiment showing which materials can power an electrical appliance the best. - Lucas B. - In what ways do your teachers make STEM learning fun or meaningful?
Our teachers make STEM learning fun and meaningful by encouraging hands-on learning and creative freedom in each project. They guide us to think critically and explore different approaches instead of just following instructions. Their enthusiasm and support make each lesson engaging, allowing us to connect what we learn in class to real-world applications. - Zephyr C.
The teachers in STEM make learning fun and meaningful as they give you the chance to think independently, and they give you more freedom to express your opinions, but they also push you to go further and help you go beyond your comfort zone to prove you can do it. Whether this be working with new people or presenting in front of the class, they will always be there to help you if you need it. - Lewis C. - How do you think STEM will play a role in shaping the future world?
STEM brings many careers together, through science, technology, engineering and maths, and allows for the brightest minds to make any task easier and more efficient. - Oliver P. - Any final thoughts about STEM at Clairvaux MacKillop College you'd like to share with the school community?
STEM at Clairvaux MacKillop College is really enjoyable and helps us think creatively while learning real skills we can use in the future. - Kevin O

QTAC has information on their website that will help you check and be sure that you have completed your application correctly. Click here for more information.
Ordering your QTAC preferences properly
Go to the QTAC website (scroll down quite a way to the heading 'Preferences') and P11 in your QTAC Guide for information about managing your preferences. When preferencing your courses you should have:
Preferences 1 and 2 - Your dream courses aligning with your passions and aspirations.
Preferences 3 and 4 - Your backup options that include the less competitive courses within the same field or a different field that interests you.
Preferences 5 and 6 - Your courses that will see you start tertiary study and when successful, improve your tertiary rank for competing for a future course.
Your sixth preference should be one that you have a very good chance of gaining entry to, given its previous adjusted ATAR/Tertiary Rank and your results. You also need to check the offer round dates of your preferences and make changes if the dates differ (preferences need to be chronologically organised according to the offer round of the courses you are applying for).
Courses you are offered in early offer rounds can be conditionally accepted and you can change your preferences for subsequent offer rounds if necessary.
Don't include wasted courses/preferences. Wasted courses include those that you don’t meet the requirements, located in areas you can’t reach.
Eligibility requirements for Nursing/Midwifery courses
There are additional eligibility requirements for all applicants applying for courses relating to nursing and midwifery. When applying for these courses, you may have a competitive ATAR/selection rank and satisfy subject prerequisites, however you will not be considered for an offer if you do not comply with additional eligibility requirements relevant to your course. Click here (scroll down quite a way - it is under the heading ‘Meeting English Proficiency’)) for more information.
QCAA External assessment info
If you are studying QCAA General subjects, you will sit external assessments at the end of Year 12 as part of your assessment for each subject. External assessments are subject-based written exams that are: common to all schools, summative - they count towards your final subject result for QCAA General subjects and are developed and marked by the QCAA. Click here for more information about results, resources, reasonable adjustments and more. :
Universities - Early offers
Offers made through Universities’ Early Offer schemes for Year 12 are mostly being made by QTAC, however, some are made directly from the institution. If you get an offer, your options are:
- accepting the offer outright
- accepting the offer conditionally
- deferring (depending on the university).
If you accept an early offer outright, your QTAC application will stop there. If the university allows you to conditionally accept your early offer and you choose this option, you need to go back into your QTAC application and reorder your course preferences putting your most desired course as your Number 1 preference. You will then be eligible for consideration in the next offer round.
Click on the following links to find out university specific information: ACU, Bond UniSC CHC CQU GU JCU QUT SCU Torrens UNE UniSQ, UQ. If you have any questions, it is best to check with the university directly.
Early offer updates
The Year 12 Early Offer Scheme can offer you a place at QUT before you receive your ATAR, IB Diploma or VET Diploma. If eligible, you'll receive an offer for your QTAC first preference the day you complete Year 12. The scheme includes more than 80 single and double degrees from a wide range of study areas including business, creative arts, engineering, health and science. Click here to find out more
Using VET qualifications for competitive entry to University
Most universities offer an entry pathway using your VET qualifications. University policies differ and can change at any time so it's best to check their websites for any changes. These ranks are relevant to students who HAVE NOT sat the STAT test (through QTAC more suited to non-school leavers) or gained a score less than 150.
