GROWING THROUGH GRACE; LEARNING THROUGH LOVE
From the Headmaster
The English philosopher and statesman
Francis Bacon wrote in one of his essays
that ‘adversity doth best discover virtue,’
and whilst it reads as a statement of fact, I
have always preferred to read it as a direct
challenge. Every one of us will, at some
time in our lives, have to confront adversity.
We are imperfect beings in an imperfect
world where terrible things happen. We only
have to read a newspaper or listen to the
radio to hear yet another example of ‘man’s
inhumanity to man’ being played out in every
corner of the world. In our personal lives too,
people fall in and out of love; we get sick;
we get selfish; occasionally tragedies occur.
Adversity is everywhere, and it causes us
enormous pain. The challenge for us at such
times is to find a way through by calling upon
our innermost resources, and by asking for
help when we need it.
The School continues to cope well with what
is surely the busiest time of our year. I was
delighted with our successes in the Science
Olympiad Examinations where in Physics
Nitin Niranjan was awarded the Gold Medal
(placing him in the top twenty students in
Australia), Alistair Butcher received the Silver
Medal (placing him in the top 60 students
in Australia) and Matthew Jones received
the Bronze Medal, giving All Saints a clean
sweep. Furthermore Nitin also received the
Gold Medal in the Chemistry examination,
making it the best set of results we have
yet achieved in this extraordinarily tough

competition. Four more names to add to our
Science Honours board and many delighted
teachers in the Science Department and
beyond. Congratulations to all concerned.
I was also swept away along with many
others on Wednesday night by our
magnificent Musical Showcase. It was such
an engaging and delightful evening with
levels of virtuosity which honestly took
one’s breath away. So much work goes into
a performance like this and my sincere
thanks to Mr Scott Mason and his team,
to Ms Sharron Cronin and her team and
Mr Steve Lewis and his team for another
superb might of music and fun.
Spare a thought for our Year 12 students
at the moment who are about to undertake
their final round of assessment. I am
amazed at their capacity to stay cheerful
and positive under such circumstances,
and have been most impressed by their
character and determination. Even though
there remains much to be done, I am
already beginning to feel that sense of sand
seeping through the hour glass, and looking
forward rather regretfully to eventually
saying goodbye to such a wonderful
group of students. Meanwhile, however,
let us continue to celebrate the gifts they
bring to our School, and to honour all the
opportunities we have been given as a
community by living every day with a sense
of joy and purpose.

Reminder for Current Year 3
Parents
We will be holding our iPad information
evening to explain our Year 4 2015 iPad
programme next Wednesday 29 October
in the Middle School Lecture Theatre. The
session will commence at 7:00pm. We
hope that a parent from each family will
be able to attend as we will be covering
the reason for the programme, which iPad
is most appropriate, which Apps need to
be downloaded and we will discuss the
Responsible User Agreement that we will be
asking parents and students to sign before
next year. Of course there will also be an
opportunity for parents to ask questions and
have any concerns they may have answered.
Spare Sports Shorts
In the Junior School we always keep a
collection of spare uniform items for those
times when bags go missing in change
rooms, when children slip in the puddles
following rain or when accidents occur. At
the moment we have a shortage of sport
shorts. If parents have any unwanted All
Saints sport shorts at home, we would gladly
accept them for our spare uniform supply.
Bus Car Park Closures
At times, particularly on Friday afternoons
during the inter-school sport seasons, the
Bus car park which is on the oval next to the
Senior School tennis courts may be closed.
If this is the case, parents should park in the
HPE car park (which borders the creek) and
walk across to the student collection area
at the edge of the Bus car park. I know that
parents will understand that this parking
area was designed for buses rather than
cars so that students returning from sport
and excursions would be safe.

All Saints Day Giveathong!
Next Friday 31 October, the School will be
celebrating its patronal festival; All Saints
Day. Traditionally on this day we also hold
our annual fund raising drive, Giveathon.
This year our Giveathon has morphed into
‘Giveathong’ and students will be able to
wear Australiana themed outfits and thongs
for the day! All students will attend our fun
filled assembly and receive a cup cake
to celebrate our birthday as part of the
festivities. Please remember to send in your
money boxes next week and we look forward
to another wonderful day.
This year, a sample of Year 6 and Year 10
students from across Australia will take
part in a national sample assessment
in Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) literacy.
All Saints has been chosen to participate
in the Year 6 trial assessment with 20
students across Year 6 being randomly
selected.
The students who have been selected
have received comprehensive
information about the trial. The students
will not need to prepare anything, as they
will be taken through the process by a
test administrator from the Australian
Council for Education Research (ACER),
with the accompaniment of myself and
Mr Simon Reed, Technology teacher.
The test will be conducted in the All
Saints Junior School ELC on Thursday 30
October, commencing at approximately
8:30am.
STATE CHESS
On Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 October,
Jack Luke-Paredi (Year 6), Christian
Goh (Year 6), Thomas Koenig (Year 6)
and Jonathan Lo (Year 1) competed in
the State Chess Tournament. I received
an email from a Gold Coast Gardiner
Chess representative who praised our
boys for their conduct, behaviour and
attitude at the weekend tournament.
The boys received 18th place overall,
out of 30 competing schools across the
State. Congratulations to Jack, Christian,
Thomas and Jonathan for representing
our School at a State level – you have
done us proud!

FROM THE HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL
GIVEATHON
Schools share many similarities and it is
thus very hard for many to clearly articulate
their ‘point of difference’ from the rest of the
pack. In my mind, Giveathon is one of the
many initiatives peculiar to All Saints that
sets our community apart and demonstrates
our collective capacity to wear our heart on
our sleeve and truly, deeply care about the
welfare of the less fortunate. Whether your
child has been saving, fossicking, pestering,
abstaining or working in the name of charity,
we very much appreciate their efforts over
the past few months in collecting monies
for the host of worthwhile charities we are
supporting this year.
On All Saints Day (actually Saturday 1
November but this year celebrated on
Friday 31 October) – the culminating day
for Giveathon – Middle School will be once
again be staging two huge events: the
Middle School Fair and the annual Billy
Cart Derby. For the former, each house is
responsible for a stall (involving food or their
choice of sideshow alley attraction) that will
charge gold coin prices with all profits going
to Giveathon. For the latter, families are
invited to construct/resurrect and decorate
a good old billy cart that is capable of
negotiating the torturous slalom course that
runs from the driveway near Main Admin
down to the undercover car park near Pre
Prep. Each cart must have steering and
a brake; each driver must have a sense
of humour and sense of adventure. (I am
still living down my descent of two years
ago atop ‘The Rocking Horse of Doom’!).
Many thanks for your patience as all this
manic preparation descends upon your
household in coming weeks.
Reminder
MUSIC SHOWCASE
Am still basking in the afterglow of a
breathtaking night’s entertainment on
Wednesday 22 October when the School’s
premier musicians presented their annual
Showcase. The evening was jam-packed
full of a dizzying variety of works – from
the joyous to the sorrowful, from the
frenetic to the serene – and the audience
was taken on an unforgettable journey
that will long live in the memory. I cannot
(pardon the horrible pun) sing the praises
of the staff and students involved loudly
enough, and was particularly gobsmacked
by the maturity, skill and complexity of the
works performed by all the Middle School
ensembles – particularly the Holst Wind
Ensemble, Grainger Wind Ensemble, Birrung
Voices, Amadeus Strings and Giant Steps
Big Band – all simply brilliant. Additionally,
Mr Scott Mason managed to pack over
120 instrumental students on stage for a
combined orchestra of epic proportions.
What an amazing sound! Finally, we were
also lucky enough to witness not just one,
but two, brilliant Middle School soloists in
action: Miyuki Tseng (Piano) and Jessica
Walther (Flute). As I said: it was a night
to remember and the community can
be justifiably proud of its brilliant Music
programme.
CLASS ALLOCATIONS 2015
Many thanks to all parents who submitted
class allocation requests for 2015 by the

will now begin the exhaustive process of
collating the necessary information from

child in their Core class
for 2015. A reminder that
this placement will be
made available to families
in the week preceding the
commencement of the new

MIDDLE SCHOOL CELEBRATION
A final reminder regarding the upcoming
year level Celebration Evenings whereby we
recognise outstanding student contributions
in the areas of Academic performance,
Community Service and Citizenship.
It is an expectation that every Middle School
student attends their relevant celebration
evening and all parents and siblings are
warmly invited to attend also – with siblings
from other sub schools being asked to wear
their respective Day Uniform.
Tickets are free but need to be booked.
Please note: there is no need to book a
seat for your Middle Schooler if it is their
respective Celebration Evening (we have
already allocated seating for the cohort being
featured). Also, in order to guarantee every
family a place, we ask you to try to keep to
your ‘four seat quota’. If you definitely need
more than four seats, please contact Mrs
Michelle Trainor in the Middle School Office.
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS
A reminder that if there are any notable
extra-curricular achievements you’d like
acknowledged, please phone/email the
Middle School Reception (mtrainor@asas.

How Can I Get My Child To Take
Responsibility?
“There is a very big difference between
being ‘strict’ and ‘teaching responsibility’.
Being ‘strict’ is where we tell people
what ‘to do’ or what ‘not to do’ and offer
‘punishment’ when unwanted behaviours
occur. This style of parenting results in
the child (who later becomes an adult)
making decisions on ‘fear’! That is, choices
are based on not doing the wrong thing
because they fear getting caught out, being
reprimanded, making a mistake, or even
being corrected.
Conversely, sometimes the opposite occurs
and people make choices to guarantee they
will get in trouble as this is the only outcome
they can guarantee. Either way, this does not
bring a person to ‘self-responsibility’.
Being ‘strict’ often results in a closing down
of communication between parent and child
and does not foster a relationship where a
child feels comfortable coming to you when
they have made a mistake … of which they
will make many! This style of parenting does
not respect that the child is in this world to
learn, develop and make many mistakes – it
does not treat the child as an equal.
Parenting with a goal of ‘raising a
responsible person’ is about treating your
child as an equal. Your role as their parent
is to support and teach your child to become
the most independent and responsible adult
that they can be.
As a teacher you can offer your child: the
skills that will enable them to become an
independent and responsible adult; an
understanding of the natural consequences
that result from the decisions and behaviour
choices they make; a knowingness that
when they make choices that go pearshaped there will be non-judgemental
support available that helps them learn and
grow from their choice.
This style of parenting fosters a way of
communicating where the child does
not feel judged and feels comfortable
coming to you when they have made a
choice that results in unwanted natural
consequences.
Children will learn by feeling and
watching, not being told. They will watch
our every move and feel whether what
we are saying is what we are living.
Raising responsible people involves:
living in a way we would like our children
to become and living in a way of selfresponsibility.”

QAMT PROBLEM SOLVING
COMPETITION
Participants across Years 8 and 9
accepted the challenge of a two hour
long paper consisting of problem-based
questions requiring full working to justify
a final answer in the QAMT Problem
Solving Competition.
Whilst the problems certainly reflected
the level of understanding being
developed through current curriculum
and was demonstrated by competent
Mathematics students, the need for
ingenuity and thought for solutions was
implicit within the competition papers.
Thank you to all participants. Your
efforts were praised by the University
of Queensland. Special congratulations
to the following students who have
been recognised for their notable
achievements by receiving a Prize:
Year 8: Caitlin Ross

Year 9 Rave in the Cave
On Thursday 16 October, Year 9 gathered in
the Dell’Arte Theatre for the annual ‘Rave in
the Cave’. The Year 9 leaders co-ordinated
food, drinks, music, decorations and an
evening of fun. The hard work paid off when
the much anticipated night arrived. Over 80
Year 9 students attended and experienced
something special. The night began with
an evening pizza and drink on the grass
while watching the sunset. From there, we
moved into the Dell’Arte Theatre where
for over two hours the music played, while
Year 9 jumped, danced and sang to all their
favourite tunes under a spectacular light
show. It was very rewarding to see all the
staff and students enjoying each other’s
company, and I am sure everyone who
attended did not leave disappointed. In
total, $860 was raised for Giveathon on the
night, and everyone had an enjoyable night
with their friends. Congratulations Year 9 for
coming together in the spirit of friendship
and giving!
Liam Harris, Year 9 student
THURSDAY LUNCH CLUB
Thursday 16 October saw the first Thursday
Lunch Club (TLC) for the final term and
what a way to start off! If you are not aware,
TLC provides students with the opportunity
to gain valuable musical performance
experience in front of their peers in a relaxed
setting and is an excellent way to showcase
up and coming musicians. Diversity through
this group came firstly with the duo of Grace
Murphy and Lahni Ferruccio. Next, the trio
of Olivia Broadley, Lilou Breslin and Katie
Taylor hit the stage, and were soon followed
by the all girl four piece of Lilli-Rose Brown,
Isabel Yamazaki, Gemma Stubbs and Leah
Davidson. The final act to perform for the day
was Ruby Johnston and Sienna Mansbridge.
All of these girls had the full support of their
peer audience and teachers alike who, with
no encouragement, readily joined in on the
choruses and clapped along to the music.
Well done to all students that participated.

MUSICAL SHOWCASE
Musical Showcase more than lived up to its
promotion as a culmination of teamwork,
energy and artistry of our young musicians.
The students’ commitment to music and
their high performance standards were
both evident on Wednesday night. The staff

WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY
"Teachers… ultimately determine our
collective ability to innovate, to invent, to
find solutions for tomorrow. Nothing will ever
replace a good teacher. Nothing is more
important than supporting them.” (Irina
Bokova, UNESCO Director General).
World Teachers’ Day, with the theme
“Invest in the future, Invest in teachers”, is
celebrated in Australia on Friday, October
31 (Oct 5 Worldwide). I’m sure you would
agree that 2014 has been a year full of
success, and I would very much like to
take this opportunity to recognise the
outstanding contribution of our teaching and
support staff to that success. A staff who
continue to pursue the highest professional
standards, and go more than the extra mile
in the service of our Senior School students.
They are an exceptional team, worthy of
our respect and support. Regardless of
what subject our teachers teach, they teach
people and they influence the whole person;
head, heart and hands.
Much has been written in recent times
on the area of teaching as a vocation, the
sacredness of the role of the teacher, and
the sense of privilege and trust which is
given to those whose profession it is to
accompany and to help form the citizens of
the future. As the late educational author
Hedley Beare noted “The education of the
young is one of the most noble enterprises
in which mankind is destined to engage.
Our entire existence rests on our ability
to do it well”. I agree with Hedley that the
past, the present, and the future has been,
is, and will be shaped by the quality of
educational activity. I am delighted to say
that our staff continually rise and adapt to
meet this challenge, and gladly accept the
awesome responsibility in nurturing a future
generation.
WISE WORDS ON TEACHING
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to
awaken joy in creative expression and
knowledge.” Albert Einstein
“Unless one has taught … it is hard to
imagine the extent of the demands made on
a teacher’s attention.” Charles Silberman
Steve Wright, Head of Senior School
All Saints Titration at the
National level 2014
This year we had an unprecedented three
teams make it to the National level of
the Royal Australian Chemical Institute’s
Chemical Analysis (Titration) Competition.
We were the only school to have that
many teams qualify. All three of our teams
finished in the ‘Excellent’ category on the
day, which was an incredible feat! We came
home with seven Gold medals and two silver
medals.
The following students achieved Gold
medals: Wen-An Jih, Iris Lau, Amelia Fidler,
Isabella Mortimore, Sol Park, Jeremy Lai
and Chyden Chang. Teagan Nagy-Cox and
Michael Hodge achieved Silver medals.
Jeremy Lai was our highest scorer on the
day followed by Iris Lau and Chyden Chang.
The three of them titrated well enough to
be considered equal with the winners of
the National level. Their exact placings
nationally will come out later in the term.
I would like to thank the students for all
their hard work and for being such great
ambassadors not only for our School,
but also our Science Department. Also,
thank you to Mr Glenda Harvey for all her
hard work helping the students in their
preparation and to Mr Mark David-Tooze for
helping me supervise the practice sessions.
It has been a great year for Titration at All
Saints.
Stacey Ward, Senior Chemistry Teacher
Year 10 Certificate I in
Indigenous Tourism
At the end of the Term 3 holiday break, 24
Year 10 students attended an immensely
successful camp on South Stradbroke
Island with activities such as kayaking, bush
walking, humpy building, team challenges
and much more.
The students were all willing and able
participants, retracing the steps of the
Nunukul people, the original inhabitants
and custodians of the island for thousands
of years. Students learnt how to source
bush food and water, track native animals
and identify environmental impacts from
misuse of the land and waterways. They
also listened to the heartbreaking story
of a female Aboriginal elder who was
forcibly removed from her family as a child.
With many highlights to call upon, one in
particular was the ‘Master Chef Challenge’
with the winning team serving an entrée
consisting of prawns served in a lettuce
cup on a paper bark decorated plate. Their
theme being ‘where the land meets the
sea’. Each group was asked to incorporate
indigenous culture into their dishes.
Thank you to CTIA, the registered training
organisation that conducted the theoretical
component of the course, for its sensitive
and professional support; and Mr Mark
Mathews, the Balunjali camp facilitator, for
sharing his wealth of knowledge and passion
for indigenous culture.
It was a valuable and meaningful
experience. Mark Stevens and I were
privileged to lead this camp and the
students were as equally impressed. Our
students represented All Saints extremely
well and we hope to offer this opportunity
again in 2015.

Diploma of Business Graduation
The Diploma of Business students were
honoured this morning with a morning tea in
Heavens Above to celebrate their successful
completion of the Diploma of Business. A
total of 41 students, along with the parents,
enjoyed a delicious morning tea and each
received their Diploma qualification. The
Diploma is a tertiary level qualification and
for many of our students it has confirmed
their decision to pursue a career in
business. Congratulations to all students on
a great achievement. Special mention also
to our Year 11/12 Hospitality students who
catered the morning tea and provided the
service – as always the food was exceptional
and the service outstanding.
Congratulations to Zanthe Heaton who
received the Diploma of Business Academic
Award and to John Davidson who was
awarded the Accelerated Diploma Award.
Diploma of Business Work
Placements
An important component of our Diploma of
Business is for the students to spend time
in a workplace to gain first-hand experience
of the concepts they are studying as part of
the Diploma. Our current Year 11 students
have already completed one work placement
in the last December/January holidays and
will be undertaking a second placement in
the upcoming December/January holidays.
Following this placement, students will write
a Business Improvement Report involving
the topics covered during the past semester.
Year 10 applicants for the Diploma of
Business in 2015 and those students
who will be in Year 12 in 2015 are also
required to undertake a five day placement
as part of the application process. This
initial placement is designed to familiarise
students with the workplace and enable
them to experience some of the business
areas which will be covered during the
Diploma.
QTAC/Tertiary Study Applications
Applications for most university and other
tertiary study courses were due on 30
September. Late applications can be
submitted. Students who need assistance
to lodge their application should see Ms
Weeks as a matter of urgency. Students
should also ensure that documentation for
any qualifications (AMEB, Diplomas, Bridging
Courses etc) is forwarded to QTAC no later
than Monday 15 December in order that
the QTAC Selection Rank can be allocated.
Documentation not received by that date
will not be considered for the January Major
Round Offers. Please see Ms Weeks if you
are unsure of any of this information.
VET Students
Year 12 students who are completing a VET
Course through our School programme,
Business, IT and Hospitality are reminded
that the final date for submission of all
assessment is Friday 24 October. No
assessment will be accepted after that date.
Year 12 students who are completing a VET
Course through an external organisation
(eg TAFE, School-based trainees etc) may
have a different, and possibly earlier, closing
date due to the reporting requirements
of those organisations. Students should
ensure they liaise with their trainer to be
sure they are aware of the final due dates.
Any qualifications which are incomplete will
not appear on Senior Statements and this
may affect the awarding of QCE points and
Tertiary Entrance Ranks.
Alison Weeks, Director of Careers & VET
Students intending to commence the
Diploma in 2015 are reminded to provide
the business details and dates to the
Careers Centre to ensure the appropriate
workers compensation cover can be
documented no later than Friday 31
October.

Musical Showcase – Well Done!
Congratulations to all students who
performed so well on Wednesday evening.
There have been so many accolades
(including a number from people outside
of the School community) about the
quality of the performances and, with
so many talented Year 12 musicians, it
was a fitting way to culminate their time
here at All Saints. A special thanks to the
students who assisted with the return of
the musical equipment to the Music Centre
on the evening. (It was the best pack-up
after a Musical Showcase since I have
been here). Finally I would like to thank
the people behind the scenes who make
these evenings happen – the music staff,
Mr Gavin Jones and Ms Sharron Cronin, Mr
Steve Lewis, the multi-media students, the
tech students, the Friends of Music and
the Performing Arts administration staff.

Student Achievements in sport
Congratulations to the following students on
their achievements in sport:
• Jessica Just (Year 9): Jess has been
selected in the Triathlon Queensland
Talent Squad. Great work, Jess!
• Samantha Cameron (Year 11): Samantha
has qualified to represent the Gold
Coast at the 2014 MJDS Queensland
State Tennis Finals in Rockhampton
this weekend. She is one of two girls
who have been selected to represent
the Gold Coast in the Final for her age
group, and she has been given the
added privilege of leading the Gold Coast
team. Congratulations and good luck
Samantha.
• Joel Bruggy and Nunzio de Rensis (both
Year 7): Joel and Nunzio played for their
soccer club over the holidays in the Gold
Coast Champions Cup, an event featuring
teams from all over Australia. The boys’
team won their quarter and semi-final
matches in penalty shootouts and
eventually won the Grand Final 3-1. Well
done, boys.
APS Summer Sport v King’s
Round 4 of the APS Summer Sport season
resulted in All Saints winning 65% of our
fixtures. A great achievement. Not only
was the sport great to watch, but we had
interesting weather too. We only had one
or two drops of rain that did not affect any
of our games, but our Junior Boys Cricket
were washed out at Somerset (our closest
neighbour) who suffered a deluge which
lasted for 30 minutes!
As we go to print, we play Somerset,
followed by Trinity Lutheran College on
31 October. Round 7 is against Coomera
Anglican College on 7 November and the
Finals are on Friday 14 November. Up to
date results and ladders can be found on

The boys proceeded to the Bundaberg final
series after a convincing victory over John Paul
College last week. In an exciting 24 hour period,
this combination of Year 8 and 9 boys won their
way to the final, only to be denied victory against
Toowoomba Grammar by a mere 8 runs: an
admirable performance considering the might of
their GPS opponents who certainly finished the
game licking their wounds after their encounter
with the battling All Saints team.

Callaghan for managing the side and Francis Nairn for
his assistance in coaching.
Warwick Glaves, Coach
Special thanks from the School to Mr Glaves, Mr Callaghan
and parent Mr David Taylor who took the boys to Bundaberg
for the games. This was a huge effort, driving to Bundaberg
on Sunday afternoon/evening and making the return trip
after the games on Monday night. Thank you very much,

CHAPLAINCY MATTERS
There is a particular grace which enters the
conversation when a group of people come
together to speak of things divine. I have
been particularly aware of this over the past
few weeks in the times where I have been a
part of such conversations: in the Monday
morning meditations, the Wednesday
morning reflection and discussion group,
and in the group which has met to prepare
for their Confirmation. It is a grace which
holds within it properties which are
a perplexity, to say the least. At once
intangible, and yet very present; unseen
and yet so very evident; hesitant and yet
abounding with bold courage … the list could
go on. But as Brother Roger of Taize says:
the Imago Dei, and as such every person is
completely worthy of our love and respect as
facets of the divine hand of God in creation.
What is discovered in our conversations is
the beauty of God found in one another – a
divine beauty.
If it were possible to fathom a heart, what
would we find there? We would be surprised
to discover that in the depths of the human
condition there lies the longing for a
presence, the silent desire for communion.
forinmany
There is a kindness
beautyyears.
which can
inform and bless a lesser force adjacent to it.
And then we discover in the Gospel a
response to this longing. Saint John
expresses it in these words: The light that
shines on every human being came into the
world.
We are a motley group of people from across
the whole School community. It is probably
the one forum in our beautiful School where
we unite without concern for role or position,
age or gender, staff, student or parent. We
simply come before God with attitudes of
curiosity, experience, and a longing to know
more about the mystery and complexity of
God the Trinity, including the life of Jesus
and the workings of God’s Holy Spirit. Our
task is simply to explore the themes willingly
presented by different people each week
and attempt to apply the results to both the
everyday circumstances and quandaries
which face not only the world, but our
individual place within it.
It is a place where some speak more than
others – and that’s quite okay. Where
questions are asked and deliberated in
an openness of heart attitude that makes
each encounter a beautiful engagement in
which we are granted the gift of knowing one
another a little better. With such knowledge
comes a greater gift of understanding. With
such understanding comes an even greater
gift of appreciation. With such appreciation
we receive the best gift of all – that each
one of us is created in the image of God,

As our groups meet each week, the grace
and beauty of God is found in our pondering,
wondering, searching, debating – and
always in the loving-kindness of God’s
presence in our meeting place. Of course
God is wherever we gather, but I have had
a number of people who have mentioned to
me of late that the Chapel is a place where
the divine presence particularly embraces
those who enter and all are welcome!

The news, papers and radio are awash presently with health
alerts associated with an outbreak of Measles in southern
Queensland. So this week I have included links with information
regarding measles, its symptoms and how to check what
immunisations your children have had.
I heard a specialist in Public Health speak through the week
about the importance of immunising yourself as well as your
children so that the vulnerable in the community are protected
from these devastating diseases. The vulnerable include babies
who can not receive the measles vaccine until 12 months of
age.
www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/immunisation/benefits/index.html
The current alert from Queensland Health is as follows.
