Open communication is important in any healthy relationship. This is particularly important in our relationship with our teenage children. As our young people grow and develop their independence it is integral for us as carers to adjust and develop this relationship while still having established boundaries. The way we communicate with them will need to change and discovering these new and different approaches to communicating effectively with one another will be a learning experience for you both. Effective communication with your teenager can help you both feel happier and more connected in your relationship, and more confident about having difficult conversations and resolving conflicts.

Sometimes communicating with teenagers can be tricky. The following tips might help you to keep the channels of communication open with your child:

• Make time and space to talk, get comfy, remove distractions such as phones, and have eye contact. These all signal that you are present, you want to listen, and you are ‘there for them’.
• You don't need to fix their problem or make them feel better; you just need to listen. Try not to judge what they are saying. Just nod and say things like, 'Ok', 'Ah ha', 'Yeah'. This will let them know that you're listening positively and will encourage them to keep talking.
• Be empathetic.
• Talk often. 

Here are some conversation starters for teens:

• 'Is there something that you'd like some help with?'
• 'Ok, I'm here for you, what's up?'
• If you have an inkling of what they want to talk about, introduce the topic like this,'I've noticed you seem a bit stressed, is there something worrying you?'

We all sometimes just need to ‘vent’, get stuff off our chests, whinge, complain, or let our family know we’ve had a bad day. We don’t need anyone to give us a solution or to ‘fix’ a problem; we just need someone to remind us that we are loved and supported. If you feel the urge to suggest a solution, to give them a lecture, or to try and solve their problem for them, try saying instead:

• 'That sounds tough, do you want help to find a solution or do you just need to get it off your chest?'
• 'How did that make you feel?'
• 'And then what happened?'

Allowing your child to talk through problems will give them an opportunity to use you as a sounding board. Unless they ask for your advice, encourage them to work through the problem themselves. This will help them take responsibility for their actions.

Learning how to talk so teens will listen starts with demonstrating empathy where you are able to put yourself in your child’s position and understand the situation from their point of view. Your child will keep coming to you to help them work through problems, and to talk about things, if you make it clear that you are on their side, even when they’ve made a mistake. You can do this by saying things like:

• 'I can see why you're so (frustrated, sad, annoyed).'
• 'How did you feel about that? Yeah I think I would have felt like that too.'
• 'Why do you think (the other person) did/said that?'

Take the opportunity to really check in with your child every day about the little things that are going on in their life. By remaining positively engaged in their life, it will be easier to have difficult conversations when the need arises. If your child can trust you to ‘be there for them’, to listen to, love and support them, then they are much more likely to see you as someone to turn to first when they need help in working through bigger problems. Your relationship will be built on trust and open, honest communication. Enjoy getting to know your child as the interesting and maturing person they are becoming.

Conflict is inevitable when people with different views live together so the occasional clash with your teenager is normal and to be expected. However, ongoing conflict can undermine the relationship between a parent and a young person.

Negative communication is a common cause of chronic conflict. Examples of negative communication include nagging, harsh criticism or ‘stand over’ tactics such as yelling to force compliance.

It’s not always easy to recognise negative communication. For example, well-meaning parents may criticise because they want their child to try harder. You are using negative communication if:

• The conversation rapidly deteriorates into nagging, yelling or fighting
• You feel angry, upset, rejected, blamed or unloved
• The issue under dispute doesn’t ever improve.

One aspect we need to be conscious of when communicating with our young people is that as carers we are hearing their version of what has transpired and not necessarily all the facts. It is an age-old problem that will most likely never change. Ultimately our children don’t want to disappoint us and we want to be proud of them. The truth is we all make mistakes and don’t always make the best decisions but we also learn from this. It is paramount that our children know that we are always here for them and they will always be loved and supported.

After School Detention

For the past 3 months the College has trailed the practice of automatically placing students who fail to attend their scheduled lunchtime on an after school detention. Throughout this time there have been a number of genuine cases where students have simply forgotten to attend. In future, students will be given “one day’s grace” to complete their detention. Should a student fail to complete the detention on the second day they will be placed on the next after school detention.
This change has been made for genuine cases only and students who are found to abuse the change will have the privilege removed.

Until next time:

Assessment Waterfall Chart - Getting Feedback From Your Peers:

As The College continues with its Professional Learning, with a focus on student engagement, it is timely to consider how students can use each other as resources for learning.

The aim is to empower our students to become more engaged in their learning journey. At St John Paul College, we strongly believe in fostering an environment that promotes active student participation and collaboration. In this week’s newsletter, I would like to highlight two valuable approaches for students to consider: peer assessment and working in groups.

Peer Assessment:

Encouraging students to assess their peers' work not only develops critical thinking skills but also promotes a deeper understanding of the subject matter. By engaging in peer assessment, students actively analyse and provide constructive feedback on their classmates' assignments, presentations, and projects. This process benefits both the assessors and the students being assessed.

Here are a few ways students can make the most of peer assessment:

1. Constructive Feedback: students provide specific feedback that focuses on strengths and areas for improvement. Emphasis is placed on the importance of offering suggestions and examples to help their peers enhance their work.
2. Clear Criteria: Students ensure they have a clear understanding of the assessment criteria. Rubrics or guidelines that outline the expectations, enabling students to provide objective feedback based on predefined standards are key to its effectiveness.
3. Reflection and Self-Assessment: Peer assessment also allows students to reflect on their own work by comparing it with their peers'. Students analyse the feedback they receive and identify areas where they can make improvements in their own learning journey.

Working in Groups:

Collaborative group work provides students with opportunities to learn from their peers, develop communication skills, and appreciate different perspectives. By working together towards a common goal, students actively engage in problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making.

Here are a few tips for successful group work:

1. Clear Roles and Responsibilities: Assign specific roles within the group to ensure everyone contributes and understands their responsibilities. This helps in creating a sense of ownership and accountability.
2. Effective Communication: Encourage students to actively listen and communicate their thoughts and ideas respectfully. The emphasis is on the importance of valuing diverse perspectives and working collaboratively to achieve shared objectives.
3. Task Breakdown and Timelines: Students break down complex tasks into smaller manageable parts. Establishing clear timelines for completion ensures progress and avoids last-minute rushes.
4. Reflection and Evaluation: Students are encouraged to reflect on their group work experience and evaluate their individual and collective contributions. This promotes self-awareness and continuous improvement.

By embracing peer assessment and collaborative group work, our students can become active learners, develop critical skills, and experience increased engagement in their studies. I encourage parents and carers to support and reinforce these practices at home, as they will enhance our students’ educational experience.

Wellbeing Mural

A fantastic new wellbeing project was recently launched at school.

Our wonderful Indigenous Education team, Caitlin and Vicki have created a centrepiece for the newly established “Wellbeing Room”. The three-panelled mural represents our feeder schools and is symbolised by the Muurrbay Tree, complete with traditional artwork from country. 

A central gathering place with the heart of the tree as a place of belonging, has been artistically represented symbolising our connectedness.

Students and staff were then invited to place their handprints on the mural to emphasise where we belong and our sense of community.

A wonderful addition to our College.

Peer to peer ministry at its best! 

The Year 10 Ministry classes went to St Augustines last week to run a half day prayer retreat experience for Year 6 students. 

The retreat included ice-breakers, group discussion, dramas, the breaking open of scripture and testimonies from the Year 10 students. 

This is a great example or peer to peer ministry and the St Augustines staff were impressed with Year 10s preparation, depth of knowledge and willingness to be open and vulnerable about their beliefs and sharing of our faith and faith traditions. 

Year 8 were fortunate to join Year 7 to listen to Brett Murray from Safeheart, who alone has personally presented to well over a million students, teachers and parents face to face.

The Safeheart schools program - ‘Disarming Bullying’ attempted to unpacking what bullying is, what it is not, why people do it, and how to stop it! 

The session then explored the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’, which leads to issues of self-esteem and self-worth. 

Other issues that are covered include the dangerous implications that bullying behaviour has on both victims and perpetrators. The session then moved into how the year groups can put into practice practical steps to help eradicate bullying culture and focus on striving for excellence in dream and goal setting, removing the negative and replacing it with the positive paradigm.

Year Gr8 Student Spotlight!

This week's Yr Gr8 student spotlight is on Finn Baker. Finn is part of the Air Force Cadets in Coffs Harbour - the 3 wing 331 squadron based at the Fitzroy Barracks in Duke Street. 

“We do all things flying, bush survival, shooting etc” said Finn. His long term goal is to one day fly aircraft in the RAAF. 

Congratulations to all our Year 8 students representing our sporting teams in different competitions at the moment. Last week saw some of our students successful in the boys and girls Bill Turner Cup/Trophy Football competitions. We look forward to hearing the good results of our rugby and League teams in the next few weeks.

If families have any photos or stories to share, please forward them to mark.coster@lism.catholic.edu.au and they could become our next Year 8 student in the spotlight.

Year 10

It is incredible to think that this cohort is already halfway through their high school years. Being in Year 10, this group of young men and women are in the more senior years of the College, and with that comes more responsibility but more growth and wisdom.

My goal for the group this year is for individuals to develop interpersonal relationships, particularly with those with whom they may not have spent much time. To assist with this goal the Year 10 HR team and I want to eliminate any barriers to establishing these relationships and connections. One of the ways we can support students with this is to uphold the standards and expectations of the College to ensure equity and to eliminate any fear of judgment of one another. 

This focus also stems from our Gospel theme for the year, Mark 9; 33-37 “The greatest Among You”. Often, we tend to equate greatness with personal achievement, success, the latest fashion, or power. 

However, in this Gospel Jesus turned such ideas upside down by asserting that to be truly great requires us to support others through humble service. Like last year the challenge is to serve all those in our community, and not just those who are closest to us. 

As humble servants, Not only do we need to care for and aid others, but we are also called to inspire others to act in a similar way.

This week in our pastoral lesson we focussed on bettering students' understanding of true friendship and what it is to be a good friend. It also unpacked some misconceptions about friendships that have the potential to damage their own and others’ relationships. The exercise was delivered in a way that emphasised the development of empathy and increased understanding of these concepts. 

As mentioned previously being in Year 10 comes with added responsibilities for students. I look forward to continuing to work with students and their families in navigating a very unique stage of development. 

I also wish to extend my gratitude for the students’ and parents’ congratulations on the safe arrival of our second child, Louie. 

All the best

Year 12 Fundraising 2023

Wesley Youth Accommodation Service is a local organisation that the Year 12 cohort of 2023 have decided to support through fundraising efforts. Wesley Youth Mission connects with people from all walks of life in Australia, including kids, families, seniors, and people facing domestic or financial difficulties, homelessness, addiction, or mental health issues. They support them as they navigate the difficulties of life and design the life they want. The Christian faith, which continues to direct everything they do, is at the centre of it all.  The organisation must rely on communities like ours to be thoughtful and donate to their mission. 

With a variety of programmes, they assist youth with:

• access to cheap, safe lodging
• obtain assistance with your mental health, addictions, family problems, and/or financial stress
• access the right programmes, and have someone fight for you to look into medium- and long-term housing choices
• discuss and research routes to employment and create a plan to help tenants access transportation.
• In the Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, Bowraville, and Nambucca districts, they offer a range of services to young people, including a crisis refuge for 14–17-year-olds, transitional housing for 16–25-year-olds, and outreach programmes for 12-to-25-year-olds.

We look forward to continuing to raise funds for such a worthy cause. Our next fundraising event is our annual Trivia Night held here at the College. This night will be held on Friday 23 June. Please see the flyer below for more information. 

SJPC Annual Fundraising Golf Day 2023

At the Coffs Harbour Golf Club, Year 12 recently held the annual charity Golf Day. Everyone in attendance was eager for an excellent day of golfing and the weather was simply ideal.

COVID offered an opportunity for us to reflect on the pace of our busy lives in the 21st century.  Similarly, the 19th century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, in his text Works of Love, interrogated the differences between a busy life and an idle existence.  He posed the scenario: "the busy person sows and harvests and rests upon these gains. But what is the purpose of this rest? Only to begin once more...nothing is gained by the cycle other than rest from the labour it requires."  So when does the act of ‘busyness’ become perfunctory to the point of idleness?  How do we decide what activities are busy-work and which ones have integrity? Interrogating our values is one way to evaluate which activities have worth.  So, although the HP&G groups have had a busy start to Term 2, the philosophical value of their activities are rich.

Regulating our thinking and developing more agency over how we engage with cerebral challenges might also be considered a noble ‘busy’ endeavour.  Our Critical Thinking students have been learning metacognitive strategies to identify the best thinking processes for different problems.  On Tuesday 16th May, Harper Dent, Banjo Dworjanyn, Clare Edwards, Poppy Higgins, Sienna Howard, Ned Keating, Lindy Klenk, Sharni Morris, and Gabriel Wark attended the Senior Division of the Mid North Coast Regional da Vinci Decathlon in Port Macquarie.  Throughout the day, students worked collaboratively to solve various challenges across a range of academic disciplines, including; Science, Creative Producers, English, Ideation, Mathematics, Engineering, Art and Poetry, Cartography, Code Breaking and Legacy.

Thirty-four teams, from schools across the Mid North Coast, were in attendance on the day and our students performed admirably across all of the disciplines, with a final result of 15th. Achievement of particular note: third in Legacy, equal fifth in Code Breaking and eighth in Ideation.  All of our students displayed exemplary behaviour and represented our school community with distinction, especially considering our Stage 4 students were competing against students in Years 10 and 11.  Our most humble achievement was, of course, SJPC representative Gabe “Edward Scissorhands” Wark, winning the paper-scissor-rock challenge against the other 240 competitors.

Meanwhile our Enterprise and Creative Innovation ‘Thinking Like Elon Musk’ students have been learning about the design process.  Starting with the concept of empathy for the stakeholders, students have been given the following eco-observation tower scenario and challenged to collaboratively design prototypes.  

Parks Australia manages all the national parks in Australia. They are looking for the best architects to design an observation tower to be built in one of their parks. The tower will enable visitors to enjoy the beautiful view while minimising damage to the natural environment. They have created a competition to find the best designers for the job. They want to know how design teams will ensure that the tower and the area surrounding the tower will be accessible for all people while minimising negative impacts on animals and the

environment. To ensure Parks Australia creates a tower that everyone can enjoy, they want to employ different design teams to think about how they would design the best tower for each of the following groups:

• Overseas visitors 
• Children 
• Elderly people 
• People with disabilities 
• Traditional custodians of the land 
• The native plants and animals

All things Literacy, because Literacy matters in all things

AGAIN, WE LOOK AT THE IMPORTANCE OF READING!

So, what should you read?

What you read doesn’t really matter. If it interests you and calls you to read, then go ahead and read. Choosing non-fiction allows you to expand your view and knowledge of the world and our place in it. This can be especially invigorating if you read about foreign topics or people who fascinate and inspire you. The delicious world of fiction teaches the beauty of language and encourages empathy with others. Young adult fiction helps you connect with teens, while children’s books will allow you to return to youthful innocence and youthful endeavours. Romance novels inform your feelings about relationships, while science fiction and fantasy expand your imagination. If mystery is calling, you may find yourself improving your capacity for deductive reasoning and deductive logic.

The most important thing is not WHAT you read. The most important thing is building a reading habit and making an effort to expand your mind, increase your brain power and enjoy the ride of losing yourself in a good book. The most important thing is engaging in reading.

‘Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.’

Charles W Eliot

Congratulations to Khaleb Muir-Nicholls in Year 7, our Writer Of The Week.

Khaleb’s writing displays maturity in vocabulary and ideas and outstanding skill with sentence structure. 

Word of the Week 

Vivacious (adjective)

DEFINITION: Lively, animated and spirited

IN A SENTENCE: A lively and vivacious teenager, Katie was an exemplary student loved by all.

Some rooms emanate an air of serenity, while others feel lively and vivacious. 

It is no surprise that vivacious means, ‘full of life’ since it can be traced back to the Latin verb, vivere, meaning ‘to live’.

Treacherous (adjective)

DEFINITION: dangerous OR not loyal

If the ground or sea is treacherous, it is extremely dangerous, especially because of bad weather conditions.

A person who is treacherous deceives someone who trusts them, or has no loyalty

IN A SENTENCE: The weather conditions made driving treacherous.

Reitaku Exchange Students – Farewell

Last week we farewelled the 5 exchange students from our sister school, Reitaku Mizunami, in Gifu. The girls had a busy last few weeks with school events, the Coffs Harbour Children’s Day Festival and many farewell parties. 

We caught up with Anna, Arisa, Ayano, Jun and Sakiha to find out what they thought of their stay here in Coffs Harbour.

Ayano – I had great time. The best thing about SJPC was my friends and teachers. My favourite moment with my host family was when we went to Sydney during the holidays. I would recommend exchange as you can make lots of friends and study English at the same time. 

Arisa – Thank you all so much for 3 months of fun. I had a wonderful study abroad experience and I love Australia. I will definitely come back to Australia again. 

Sakiha – I really enjoyed my stay here. I don’t want to go back to Japan. I’ll miss you all. My study abroad experience was enjoyable and easy. I love you all so much. Thank you for the 3 months. 

Jun – Thank you. I had lots of fun and made lots of friends. I am happy I got to come to Coffs Harbour. 

Anna – I have really loved my life in Australia so much that I don’t want to go back to Japan. In a few years, I want to come back to Australia again. Please don’t forget about us. I will remember you all forever. 

I would like to thank all the host families for all they have done for the Japanese students, the staff who looked after the Japanese in class and all the SJPC students who made them feel so welcome here. Thank you!

Japanese Children’s Day Festival 

On Sunday 7 May, St John Paul College students joined in the fun and excitement at the Coffs Harbour Children’s Day Festival held at the Botanic Gardens. This Festival made its return after many years of Covid so it was great to see so many locals enjoying the sun and Japanese food and culture. 

This year, our students helped out with the calligraphy along with the 5 Reitaku exchange students (Anna, Jun, Sakiha, Arisa and Ayano). Students wrote names or words in Japanese ink on paper or paper kites. 

We also had two students dress up as part of the Cosplay parade. They both looked amazing. 

The SJPC students worked in conjunction with the Australia-Japan Society here in Coffs Harbour to promote the close relationship with our sister city, Sasebo, in southern Japan. 

Thank you to the following students for their help on the day:

Year 11: Harrison White, Lana Wirth, Lily Wise, Amy Wise and Molly Joyce

Year 12: Syann Mackay, Blake Hall

As the Year 12 Hospitality course is coming to an end, the students were recently observed in the kitchen producing their final assessment practical. Students planned and cooked in groups of 2-3, working on their refined skills and techniques from the course. They developed their own industry standard trendy recipe for a menu item which meets current market trends and customer expectations. The growth and development of all partaking in this course is to be acknowledged and congratulated. Well done Year 12 Hospitality and here’s to many delicious meals in the future.

Year 10 Child Studies are visiting St Augustine Primary School every second week.
Students investigate and experience different types of play-based learning which contribute to the positive development of children. They assess a range of play choices, environments and activities in terms of learning, suitability, sustainability and safety.
