COLLEGE NEWSLETTER - 19 SEPTEMBER, 2025

Message from the Principal

Megan Wuersching - College Principal

Dear Southern Cross Catholic College Families,

As we wrap up another successful and rewarding term, I’m pleased to share that our recent verification visit was very positive. The visiting team commended our staff, students, and wider college community for the warm welcome and the strong culture of learning and support evident throughout the college.

Following this visit, we now move into Phase Four of our Year of Renewal, focused on Strategic Planning. This marks an exciting step forward as we continue to shape and refine our strategic priorities for the next four years.

With the school holidays upon us, I’d like to wish all our families a safe, restful and enjoyable break. Whether you're travelling, relaxing at home, or spending time with loved ones, I hope it's a time of joy and connection.

I will be on Long Service Leave for the first two weeks of next term. During my absence, Mr Jaye Beutel will be Acting Principal for Secondary, and Mrs Katrina Wootton will be Acting Principal for Primary. I have every confidence in their leadership and know they will continue to guide our college with care and professionalism. I look forward to returning in Week Three.

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our college community.

What "R U OK?" Day Means for Our Primary Students
Every year, schools across Australia take part in "R U OK? Day," a day dedicated to promoting mental health and encouraging meaningful conversations. But what does this day mean for our primary students, and how can we support them in understanding its importance?

What Is "R U OK?" Day?
"R U OK?" Day is a national day of action that focuses on connecting with others and asking the simple question, “Are you OK?” It encourages everyone, young and old, to reach out to their friends, family, and classmates, and to offer support if they see someone struggling. The aim is to foster a culture where everyone feels safe, heard, and cared for.

For our younger students, this day is about learning the importance of kindness, empathy, and looking out for each other. While the concept of mental health might seem complex for primary-aged children, it can be broken down into simple ideas: being a good friend, noticing when someone might be feeling sad or worried, and showing that you care by asking how they’re doing.

Why Is It Important for Primary Students?
At this age, children are still developing social and emotional skills, which are essential for building healthy relationships and handling life’s challenges. "R U OK?" Day provides an opportunity for teachers, parents, and caregivers to talk about feelings, emotional wellbeing, and how to be a good listener. It teaches children that it’s okay to not feel okay all the time, and that talking about how we feel is a good way to solve problems and find support.

How We Teach It
In our school, we approach "R U OK?" Day through activities and discussions designed to help students understand how to recognise when someone might need help and how they can offer it in a gentle, age-appropriate way. These activities might include:

• Class discussions about what it means to be a good friend and how to recognise when someone might not be feeling themselves.
• Role-playing scenarios where students practice asking "Are you OK?" and responding to different emotions.
• Storytime and activities that explore themes of friendship, empathy, and caring for others.
• Regular Check ins with each other.

These activities provide a safe space for children to explore their feelings and learn the value of emotional support in an understandable and comforting way.

How Parents Can Support at Home
Parents play a vital role in reinforcing these messages at home. You can:

• Encourage open conversations: Ask your child how they’re feeling and let them know it’s always okay to talk about their emotions, no matter what they are.
• Model good listening skills: Show your child how to listen to someone talking about their feelings without interrupting or offering solutions immediately.
• Normalise emotions: Teach your child that it’s normal to feel sad, worried, or upset sometimes, and that it’s important to ask for help when needed.
  

Wishing all our families a wonderful holiday break!

We look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday 8 October.

Term 3 Vacation 
As we come to the end of Term 3 it is timely for students, staff and parents to pause for a moment and reflect on the journey shared so far this year. While we are generally busy making it from class to class, day to day and from one week to the next, we often find ourselves not giving ourselves the opportunity to celebrate the small successes along the way. My hope is that these coming school holidays we all get a moment to reflect and give thanks for the small graces that we have experienced so far in 2025. To then prepare ourselves for the final months of the year and plan to achieve those goals which have eluded us so far before the New Year catches us by surprise. 

Thank you to the entire secondary community for such a bright and busy Term 3, your support and energy has been greatly appreciated. I look forward to concluding the year with another beautiful term to round out 2025.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:4–7)

Chromebook Damage & Repair Process
In response to a noticeable increase in accidental damage and incidents of improper care of student Chromebooks, our team has recently streamlined the process for managing device repairs. With over 780 students across our secondary school, we understand that accidents can happen, but we also recognise the importance of clear procedures to support timely and fair resolutions.

To assist in managing these situations more effectively, the following changes have been made to our Chromebook Damage and Repair Process:

• All damage claims will be initially assessed by the ITS Team. 
• Claims will only be referred to a student’s Pastoral Leader if further investigation is required.
• Once processed, parents will receive an email containing the damage report and invoice (if applicable).
• Invoices are requested to be paid within 14 days of issue.
• Students may now borrow a Chromebook for up to one week while their device is being repaired, this replaces the previous daily loan arrangement.
• If a student’s Chromebook is damaged three times within a calendar year, families will be invoiced for a device replacement.

These updates will be shared with students during Homeroom next week, along with clear guidance on how to care for their Chromebooks responsibly.

We encourage you to speak with your child/ren about the importance of caring for their device and understanding the new process in place to support them should repairs be needed.

Eisteddfod - Congratulations and Thank you
The past two weeks have been extraordinarily busy for amazingly talented students representing Southern Cross at the Townsville Eisteddfod. 2025, has seen one of our largest contingents of students participating in the event, competing against the very best from across the city. The results have been nothing short of spectacular.

Congratulations to each and every one of our students who participated, you have made us very proud! It has been wonderful to watch you SHINE as you share your talents with the community.

I would also like to pay tribute to the ever devoted and supportive parents behind the scenes. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement - this goes so far for our students to reach their very best. Finally, to our tremendous Southern Cross performing arts team. The words “thank you” don;t seem to be enough to fully acknowledge the gratitude we collectively have for your support and mentorship of our eisteddfod performers. 

Thank you to these tremendous staff!

First Holy Communion
Last Saturday evening and Sunday morning, thirty-three students participating in the College’s Sacramental Program received their First Holy Communion. The celebrations were conducted with reverence and joy, and the students participated with notable enthusiasm.

The students attended Mass at St. Joseph the Worker Church on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. We gratefully acknowledge Father Damian for officiating the Masses. Additionally, we extend our appreciation to the staff and parents who supported the students throughout their preparation and participation in this significant milestone.

Sunday Gospel and Reflection

Luke 16: 1-13
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘There was a rich man and he had a steward who was denounced to him for being wasteful with his property. He called for the man and said, “What is this I hear about you? Draw me up an account of your stewardship because you are not to be my steward any longer.” Then the steward said to himself, “Now that my master is taking the stewardship from me, what am I going to do? Dig? I am not strong enough. Go begging? I should be too ashamed. Ah, I know what I will do to make sure that when I am dismissed from office there will be some to welcome me into their homes.

Then he called his master's debtors in by one. To the first he said, “How much do you owe my master?” “One hundred measures of oil” was the reply. The steward said, “Here, take your bond; sit down straight away and write fifty.” To another he said, “And you, sir, how much do you owe?? “One hundred measures of wheat” was the reply. The steward said, “Here, take your bond and write eighty.”

The master praised the dishonest steward for his astuteness. For the children of this world are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children of the light.

‘And so I tell you this: use money, tainted as it is, to win you friends, and thus make sure that when it fails you, they will welcome you into the tents of eternity. The man who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great; the man who is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in great. If then you cannot be trusted with money, that tainted thing, who will trust you with genuine riches? And if you cannot be trusted with what is not yours, who will give you what is your very own?

‘No servant can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave both to God and of money.’

Reflection on Luke 16:1–13 – The Parable of the Shrewd Steward
In this Gospel passage, Jesus tells the story of a steward who is accused of mismanaging his master’s property. Facing dismissal, the steward quickly comes up with a plan: he reduces the debts of his master’s clients, likely cutting out the commission he would have taken for himself. By doing this, he hopes to gain their goodwill so that he’ll be welcomed into their homes once he loses his job.

Surprisingly, the master praises the steward - not for his dishonesty, but for his cleverness and quick thinking. Jesus uses this moment to teach a deeper lesson: while the steward’s actions weren’t morally perfect, his ability to act decisively and wisely in a crisis is something disciples of Christ should learn from.

Jesus goes on to remind us that how we handle small responsibilities, like money, reflects how we’ll handle greater ones. If we’re trustworthy in little things, we’ll be trustworthy in much. And ultimately, we must choose where our loyalty lies: we cannot serve both God and wealth.

This parable invites us to reflect on our own choices, especially in moments of challenge. Are we using our resources and opportunities to build relationships, act with integrity, and prepare ourselves for eternal life? As parents and educators, it’s a call to model wise, faithful stewardship in both our homes and our communities.

SPECIAL REPORT: Parenting Styles
There's no such thing as perfect parenting. But by understanding different parenting styles, we can better support our children in healthier and more effective ways.

Most of us parent as a blend of our own upbringing, lived experiences and external influences such as books, podcasts or parenting websites. And while parenting is always a challenge, it can become even more complex through divorce, separation, blended families, trauma or bereavement. Not to mention life's many other hurdles.

The concept of "parenting styles" was first introduced in the 1960s by Diana Baumrind, a clinical and developmental psychologist. She identified four main categories of parenting. Each style shapes a child's development in different ways and comes with both strengths and challenges.

Although well-intentioned, each parenting approach can have drawbacks in a child's development. Every child is unique, and their needs change as they grow. An authoritative style may suit younger children, but teenagers often require a greater balance of guidance and independence. The goal is to create a secure environment where children feel respected, heard, and supported.

By learning more about the different styles and how they influence children, you can make informed choices about the approach that best suits your family. And remember, styles are not fixed. They can evolve over time as your child grows and their needs change.

We invite you to watch this Special Report and complete the quiz to discover your own parenting style. You might also like to compare your results with your partner's and reflect together on the different approaches you each bring to parenting.

SCCC v GSMC Soccer
On Monday of Week Seven, Southern Cross Catholic College welcomed students from Gilroy Santa Maria College for a spirited friendly game of soccer. By Period Five, the crowd had gathered, bringing with it an atmosphere of excitement and energy that set the stage for a memorable afternoon.

The match was filled with skillful play, determination, and plenty of cheers from the sidelines. Our Southern Cross team rose to the occasion, finishing strong and securing a well-earned victory in front of their home supporters.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the staff and students from both colleges who contributed to making the day such a wonderful celebration of sport, teamwork, and community spirit. Events like these highlight the joy of healthy competition and the strength of our school partnerships.

CBSQ Basketball Preparations – Burdekin Trip
On Tuesday of Week 8, our two Open CBSQ teams travelled to the Burdekin for what turned out to be an action-packed afternoon of basketball and community spirit.

Girls Game
BCC started strong, holding the lead into halftime. But our SCCC girls came out firing in the third quarter, storming into the lead with great intensity and teamwork. The final term was a nail-biter, with BCC edging back in front, but our girls showed that they are building resilience and fighting heading into CBSQ.

Boys Game
The boys lit up the court with some sharp shooting, highlighted by Noah Anderson’s clutch three-pointers, which kept the crowd on their feet. Backed up by disciplined team defense, the game was a showcase of how far the squad has come in their preparation.

The afternoon finished with a shared feed between both schools before the trip back to Townsville. More than just a friendly, this event has the potential to become an annual tradition - one that sharpens our teams ahead of CBSQ. We proudly brought home one shield in 2025… and in 2026, we’re aiming for two!

Our Open Girls team hit the court once again in Week 9 for a spirited clash against Ryan Catholic College. It was a fast-paced and entertaining afternoon of basketball with plenty of energy from both sides.

While the final score didn’t fall in our favour, the game was full of highlights. Several of our younger players stepped up in a big way, showing off their growing skill and confidence against tough competition. The teamwork, hustle, and determination on display made it an afternoon to be proud of.

As our two teams prepare to depart this Wednesday of Week 10, the excitement is building! They’ll be stepping onto the big stage on the Gold Coast, ready to test themselves against strong competition.

We wish both teams the very best as they showcase their skills and teamwork. Represent Southern Cross with pride, passion, and determination - we know you’ll make our College community proud!

SCCC v TCS T20 Cricket
On Tuesday of Week 8, our Southern Cross Intermediate and Open Boys cricket teams took to the field for a thrilling T20 clash against The Cathedral School. The afternoon was filled with big hits, sharp fielding, and plenty of teamwork on display from both sides, creating a fantastic spectacle of school cricket.

After a hard-fought battle, our Intermediates showed great determination but narrowly went down in their match. The Opens, however, rose to the occasion, delivering a confident performance to claim victory and finish the day on a high for Southern Cross.

A huge thank you to our players and staff for their effort and commitment, and to The Cathedral School for joining us in what was an excellent afternoon of cricket.

Coming Up at Southern Cross
Our Open Mixed Touch Football team has been putting in the hard yards in preparation for their upcoming tournament in early Term 4. The squad has been training consistently each week and recently tested themselves in scratch matches against St Anthony’s Catholic College and William Ross State High School. Their commitment and effort have been outstanding, and we are eager to see them showcase their skills on the Gold Coast next term.

Meanwhile, preparations are in full swing for our largest ever Secondary Netball Gala Day. This year, seven teams will take the courts at the Townsville Secondary Schools Grade 7 and 8 Netball Gala Day on Thursday of Week 10. With so many players involved, it promises to be a fantastic day of competition and school spirit. We’re looking forward to a sea of maroon and gold proudly representing Southern Cross on the netball courts.

NQ Representative Team Announcement
It is an exceptional achievement to be selected for a Northern Representative team. This honor reflects not only outstanding talent and dedication, but also the commitment and perseverance required to reach one of the highest levels of school sport in our region. Representing the North is a privilege that acknowledges both individual excellence and the support of our wider school community.

We are proud to announce and congratulate the following students on their selection into the Northern Representative Teams. Their hard work, sportsmanship, and dedication to their sport have been rightfully recognised.

Well done to all students on this remarkable achievement.

Townsville Secondary School Sport – Age Champions
To be crowned an Age Champion in the Townsville Secondary School Sport competitions is no small feat. It represents being the very best in your age group across the entire region, against some of the strongest young athletes in North Queensland.

In the highly competitive A Schools Division, students earn this title by consistently performing at the top of their events, collecting points across multiple disciplines to finish as the standout athlete of their age group. It’s a recognition not only of talent, but of resilience, discipline, and the ability to deliver when it matters most.

These awards carry enormous prestige within the school sporting community, as they highlight athletes who have risen above hundreds of competitors to set themselves apart as champions of their region. For many, it is a milestone moment in their sporting journey - and one that will be remembered with pride.
