Term 1 Week 8 Edition |  18 March 2026
Principal’s Message

Complex Times

With recent developments around the world, children may come across unsettling updates through ongoing news reports, social media, or discussions. Even when such events occur far from home, repeated exposure to headlines and images can cause concern, especially for young people who are still forming their understanding of the world.

It’s important for parents, carers and teachers to be aware that frequent coverage may increase feelings of worry or uncertainty. Offering gentle reassurance is important as children benefit from feeling safe and supported when they hear about complex global issues.

Before starting these conversations, please take a moment to reflect on your own feelings. Children often look to the adults around them for guidance. Staying calm, listening with care, and providing comfort can help your child manage their emotions and maintain a sense of security. Reassurance is key.

Your children are not simply navigating these times they are learning how to live within them, to lead with compassion and intelligence, and to shape a hopeful future.

We are reminded of this promise in Joshua 1:9:
“Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust.

Blessings and gratitude to you all.

Dr Susan Carter
Head of College

Chapel on the Junior Campus—Fridays at 8:35am

Chapel on the Junior Campus is a much‑loved time in our week, often led by our classes and their teachers. This past week, Year 5/6MC gave a special reminder of God’s love for us, how He walks beside us in challenging times, and how He provides people in our lives to help us learn and grow.

Captain Grit made an appearance with some practical tips as Year 5/6 MC highlighted challenging times and helped us to see God’s presence within those times.  If you missed Captain Grit, I encourage you to check out the video below.

Families are always warmly welcome to join us as we gather together in faith and fellowship, and we remain deeply grateful for God’s abundant blessing through these chapel times.

Junior Campus Student Leadership Council – 2026

We are delighted to share an update on our Student Leadership Council for 2026. Students from each class eagerly nominated themselves for leadership roles and confidently shared their ideas through speeches with their peers.

With the support and guidance of their teachers, our Year 6 leaders then led the preferential voting process. It is with great pleasure that we now announce our Student Leadership Council team for 2026.

Members of the council take on important responsibilities, including demonstrating dedication to their role, listening carefully to class feedback, sharing ideas and concerns from their classmates, and being prepared to attend meetings. Preparation and active participation in the Student Summit also form a key part of their SLC role.

Congratulations to this year’s council. May this be a year of listening to your classmates, serving with humility, and leading with kindness and integrity as you represent your peers and contribute positively to the College and specifically to the Junior Campus community.

Hoodie Up at the College – Celebrating Diversity in Our Community

On Thursday 19 March our Junior Campus along with Middle and Senior Campus will be joining schools across Australia in Hoodie Up at School, a wonderful initiative that celebrates the diversity within our community and raises awareness and understanding of Autism.

Hoodie Up at School is a simple and flexible way for students and staff to show support for Autistic children, families and colleagues. There is no single way to participate—every school celebrates differently—and each effort, big or small, helps Autistic people feel seen, heard and valued.

This year’s theme, Diversity in our community, reminds us that there are many ways to be Autistic, many ways to belong, and many ways we can build inclusive and supportive learning environments.

What Will Happen on the Junior Campus?

On Thursday 19 March 2026, the Junior Campus will be marking the occasion with a range of activities designed to build understanding and celebrate the strengths and uniqueness of every student.

  • Students are invited to wear a hoodie to school (no gold coin donation required )
  • Teachers will be leading awareness activities in their classrooms, exploring diversity, inclusion and empathy in age‑appropriate ways.
  • Our Year 6 students and teachers will be leading special activities during break times, giving younger students opportunities to engage in conversations, creative tasks and games that celebrate understanding and acceptance.
  • Classroom activities may include:
    • exploring what diversity means
    • creative hoodie design or colouring tasks
    • stories, discussions and reflections about inclusion
    • building curiosity and understanding about Autism

Why Hoodie Up?

By taking part in Hoodie Up, we join a national movement working to:

  • increase understanding, engagement and acceptance of Autism in the wider community
  • influence positive change in attitudes and behaviours
  • ensure Autistic people and their families experience belonging, respect and support

Every hoodie worn and every conversation held helps build a more inclusive College community—one where all students know that who they are is valued.  We look forward to celebrating this meaningful day together.

Be Blessed

Senior Campus News

Senior Campus Update

This week, I shared with the Senior Campus Staff that as we move into Week 8 of the term, we are reminded that this is often a busy and demanding time for both students and staff. It is a season that calls for patience, focus, and care and it is during these weeks that the quiet, consistent work of learning and growth continues to take place.

Across our campus, I continue to see staff supporting students through steady routines, clear expectations, and calm encouragement. These everyday moments, often unseen, are what help students feel safe, known, and supported, especially when energy levels are stretched.

As a community, we are reminded that we don’t need to do everything at once, but simply to do the next right thing with care and faithfulness. We trust that God is at work in the ordinary moments of our days, shaping growth in ways we may not always immediately see.

Isaiah 41:10 reminds us ‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.’

My prayer for our students, staff, and families this week is for peace within the busyness, strength for the days ahead, and reassurance that each effort, offered with sincerity, matters deeply.

Supporting Wellbeing and Social/Emotional Literacy at PoP

Prince of Peace is committed to nurturing the wellbeing and social and emotional literacy of our students through our partnership with The Resilience Project. Through age‑appropriate lessons and a shared wellbeing language, students are developing practical skills in gratitude, empathy and mindfulness to support positive mental health, emotional regulation and strong relationships.

Parents and carers are encouraged to support this learning at home by accessing The Resilience Project Family Hub, which includes free videos, activities, conversation starters and practical wellbeing resources for families.  A short overview video explaining The Resilience Project and its impact can also be viewed here.

ALWS Walk My Way – 8 August 2026

Step Out so Girls can Step Up

To celebrate and acknowledge International Women’s Day, ALWS hosted an event with women from all over our Lutheran network. We were blessed to hear from Mary Obara, the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Program Manager for your ALWS work in Kenya and Somalia. Mary shared with us her heart for serving in the toughest places in the world. We were able to hear first-hand of the everyday challenges and joys of working in Refugee Camps. Below is information on how we can support the work of Mary and the ALWS team in supporting young women around the world.

Let me share why what you’re doing is so important for Girls in Danger.

Angeline was 4 years old when she had to flee Burundi with her family, seeking refuge at Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. With the support of generous donors, just like you, Angeline has been able to attend school.

Angeline shares, “I want to be a doctor. I pray, God, bless me so I can achieve this dream. It’s not just for me, it’s for my community, too.”

Sadly, too many girls like Angeline never get the chance to attend school so they can strive for their dreams.

There are forced to leave school early, and without education, they face a much higher risk of child marriage and a life with limited choices.

Education changes everything

When girls stay in school, they are safer, healthier, and more likely to secure a good job. They have a chance to chase their dreams and help their community. In 2026, Walk My Way will provide life–changing education to Girls in Danger of forced child marriage in refugee camps in Kenya and Somalia.

Your Walk My Way will help to equip teachers, keep school safe and cover the cost of tuition.

When you organise a local community Walk My Way event, you’re supporting more Girls in Danger to go to school, protecting them from forced child marriage and giving them the chance to pursue their dreams.

“And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” Jesus (Matthew 18:5)

Prince of Peace will be joining with ALWS on Saturday 8 August to show our support. We encourage our community to mark it in their calendar and get involved.

Partnering with Elevate to Support Students’ Study Skills

Prince of Peace has engaged the company Elevate Education to assist in supporting our students with study skills. Drawing upon over 20 years of research into the habits of the country’s top students, Elevate’s high impact seminars and workshops help students improve their study techniques, increase motivation, build confidence, and lift exam performance.

This week saw the first of the seminars being delivered to our Middle & Senior College students, staff and families.

Years 10 and 12 will engage in the Study Sensei program which assist students to:

  • Utilise the syllabus to frame study
  • Structure and review notes
  • Assist with conceptual thinking into deep understanding
  • Utilise practice exam papers
  • How to stand out through independent thinking

The Year 11 students will engage in the Time Management program which assists students to:

  • Develop routines to balance study and life
  • Work smarter to complete high value work
  • Techniques to overcome procrastination

This week, we had the first of our live Parent Workshops. As an Elevate school, you as parents are able to attend the live online webinars to assist your child and your family in supporting our child to effectively study at home. For more information, please go to https://go.elevateeducation.com/auschoolwebinars

2025 Next Step Year 12 Completers Survey

All Year 12 completers from last year will soon receive an invitation to do the Next Step survey. This is their chance to help our school to understand the different pathways of the 2025 Year 12 students and to improve our senior programs and supports for future students. The survey only takes 5 minutes and asks graduates about their study and work activities since finishing school.

As a thank you for participating, Year 12 completers will be entered into a draw to win one of five laptops. The Terms and Conditions of these prizes are set out on the website.

We ask parents, siblings and friends to encourage our graduates to complete the survey. Students will be contacted by mail, email or phone. Please check that contact details in your QCAA learning account (https://myqce.qcaa.qld.edu.au/) are correct so you can receive your invitation. The survey can be completed online or by phone.

For more information about Next Step, including previous results, visit http://www.qld.gov.au/nextstep.

Arts Soiree

On Monday 16 March, we were treated to a musical feast from a selection of our talented solo musicians from the PoP Senior Campus. This concert is unique in that it focuses on the individual rather than the ensemble. With approximately 20% of our student body engaged in private music tuition each week, this event provides an important opportunity for these students to shine and be recognised within our community.

The concert featured a number of stunning vocal performances, opening with Isla Pribilovic, followed by Oskar Tuer and Milly Savaille—some of the stars of the upcoming PoP Musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in May. Isabella Everitt and Alexis Chaffey demonstrated outstanding musicianship through the challenging art of “sing and play.” Their contrasting repertoire showcased their individual artistry, and both performances were truly accomplished.

Hannah Tay and Eva Johnson delivered moving instrumental solos on piano and viola respectively, captivating the audience with their expressive skill. The evening concluded with our two Music Extension students, Georgia Bean and Wyatt Handley. Georgia shared insight into her compositional process before performing key elements of her work on the piano, while Wyatt spoke about his musical inspirations and delivered a powerful performance of Thank You for the Venom.

We thank our musicians for generously sharing their talents with such a receptive audience, and we extend our appreciation to their families for recognising their musical potential and supporting their ongoing development. We also sincerely thank Mrs Linda Brady for her dedication to teaching these students and for her expert guidance, encouragement and commitment to nurturing their musical growth.

The impact of music on the developing brain is profound. Through attention to detail, commitment to regular practice, problem solving, physical dexterity and emotional processing, students build stronger left‑right brain connectivity and richer memory pathways, skills that will support them well into the future.

Thank You to Our P&F Community

We extend our sincere thanks to our wonderful P&F for their generous donation towards the purchase of a new sensory chair and resources for our students.

Thanks to your support, we have been able to introduce the Fibreglass Swivel Floor Egg Chair, which is  a calming, cocoon‑like space designed to support students with sensory and self‑regulation needs. Even some staff members have found solace in this chair.

This chair provides a safe, enclosed retreat that reduces visual distractions and offers comfort through soft lining, plush cushions and gentle swivel movement. These features support emotional regulation, focus and wellbeing, giving students an opportunity to reset and feel supported during the school day.

Your ongoing commitment to enhancing student wellbeing makes a meaningful difference in our learning community.

We are incredibly grateful for the care and generosity you show our students and staff. Thank you for helping us create inclusive, supportive spaces where every student can thrive.

Blessings,

Coreta Lennon
Head of Campus — Senior Campus

Aquatic Courses

Learn skills to get a job while a school

Amp’d Academy! and Active Queensland Industry Alliance are offering the following training courses to eligible enrolled school students:

  • The Swim Teacher Program delivers a Swimming Teacher Skill Set (5 competencies) which will provide students the required accredited training to become a learn to swim teacher.  There is currently a critical skills shortage of swim teachers, so students who undertake the training and become competent are highly likely to find casual employment with a local swim school.
  • The Pool Lifeguard Program delivers a Pool Lifeguard Skills Set (5 competencies) which will provide skills designed to supervise the safety of patrons in aquatic venues and manage water-based rescues, casualties, and emergencies. There are lots of casual/part-time job opportunities in this field also.

The face-to-face course for Swim Teacher is 1 day.  Pool Lifeguard face-to-face courses are 2 days however First Aid training (a prerequisite for Pool Lifeguard) will usually be provided the day before the face-to-face course – so 3 days in total if the student doesn’t have First Aid.  Please note there will also be online and pre-course activities to complete, as well as a work placement component (Swim Teacher) or practical assessments (Lifeguard/ATO).  Interested students are required to have a reasonable level of fitness and swimming ability to perform the required aquatic skills.
