Wow! Congratulations to all involved in the 2017
Kaleidoscope production ‘Mirrorball’!
Mirrorball showcased the talents of 120 students
– the largest cast in the history of the event.
Written and directed by Mr Nick Trethan, Drama
Teacher, Mirrorballl explored Pastoral Care
issues such as relationships, societal stereotypes,
conflict resolution, social anxiety, bullying and
mental health.
Sensational performances had the audience
laughing, crying and clapping along! From the
poignancy of ‘Unpretty’ and ‘Creep’, to the
tongue-in-cheek humour of ‘I Enjoy Being A Girl’
and ‘Make a Man out of You’, to the message of
the pop anthem ‘Stand in the Light and Be Who
You Are’, it was a great night of music, dance and
drama.
Thank you to the dedicated backstage crew and
volunteer ushers.
Kaleidoscope was made possible by the generous
contribution of time and talents from staff and
art professionals. Thank you for supporting
students in creating these performances.

HEAD OF COLLEGE
The Value of
Learning a Language
One of the Strategic
Pillars of the
College’s Strategic
Vision 2016-2020
is ‘International
Connections – St Peters:
A World School’, in
which we aspire to
provide a globallyfocused environment and curriculum. A part
of this Strategic Pillar is the College’s ongoing
commitment to providing a range of foreign
languages for students to study as part of their
learning.
All students in the Lower Primary Years learn
German. When they move into Upper Primary,
the option of Chinese or French is added. In
Junior High, the range of language choices
expands again to include Japanese. Additionally,
if students elect to study the IB Diploma in
Years 11 and 12, they may also study Spanish.
When our students graduate, they will live and
work in a global world in which the benefits of
having another language, regardless of what
it is, will be marked. As so few Australians
study a second language all the way to senior
(around 13 per cent), students who continue in
their language studies will have a competitive
advantage over their peers.
Beyond this advantage, the learning
benefits of studying a foreign language are
MINISTRY
well-documented. One of the most significant
is that it enhances the learning of a child’s
first language because they understand the
mechanics of language and literacy better.
This week’s character
strength is curiosity.

Everyone possesses curiosity to some degree.
People differ according to the strength and
breadth of their curiosity and their willingness to
act on it.
Curiosity is associated with high performance
in both academic and work settings. There
is evidence to suggest a positive relationship
between curiosity and knowledge. The more we
learn, the more we want to learn, and so on.
I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good

DEPUTY HEAD OF COLLEGE
Curiosity
The Song in Your Heart
Curiosity in the absence of good judgment can
lead to trouble. For example, when curiosity
clashes with social norms. Think back to when
your children were very young. I am sure
we have all experienced that moment when
curiosity got the better of your young child and
they were compelled to ask loudly a question
along the lines of: “Why is that lady wearing that
dress? It looks awful.”
Despite the possible side effects, the benefits of
curiosity far outweigh the risks. Developing this
strength can lead to personal and professional
rewards. Remember, there is very little in this
world that is truly interesting until we start to
explore or examine it. Rocks are not interesting
until we begin collecting them and washing
machines are not interesting until we need to
buy a new one. Is there something out there has
peaked your curiosity? Why not take the time to
explore it further.
Music moves us. Whether it is a searing guitar
solo or a piano concerto, music connects with
us at a deep, and some would say, spiritual level.
The thrill of the song you fell in love to. The
pathos of the hymn at your grandfather’s funeral.
The delight of the soundtrack of your youth.
The aptness of the national anthem on ANZAC
Day. The glory of an orchestra in full flight. The
wonder of a chorale in perfect harmony. Such
beauty that overwhelms your soul with the joy
of being alive.
Music is a gift from God, surely, to calm us,
to comfort us, to uplift us and to inspire us.
Ultimately, to draw us into the praise of our
Creator for all his goodness towards us.
The scriptures abound with invitations to sing
and to make music for God’s glory and for our
good. Martin Luther knew this and repeatedly
drew comfort from music and song:
The devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties
and restless troubles, flees before the sound of
music almost as much as before the Word of
God….Music is a gift and grace of God, not an
invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil
and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all
wrath, impurity, and other devices.
May God fill your life with music!
