Strength Through Unity: A Vision for 2025

Welcome to the 2025 school year! I am deeply grateful for the warm welcome I have received as I step into this remarkable College Community. Your kindness and openness have made my transition seamless, and I extend my sincere thanks to each of you. This year, we embark on our journey under the guiding theme: Strength Through Unity. This theme stems from our collective aspiration to foster One College—an institution with streamlined processes, a shared strategic direction, and a strong alignment with the directives of the College Council.

An inclusive data informed approach incorporating staff, parent, and student voice has been developed from a comprehensive data set. In 2024, parents, students, and staff were invited to participate in a comprehensive MMG survey and reports of findings were provided to the College. Using these results and additional key academic performance indicators, including NAPLAN data (Years 3, 5, 7, and 9) and Year 12 results, we have mapped our strengths and areas for growth. Furthermore, we began the College year with all staff involved in the mapping.  This has allowed us to shape a contemporary data and research informed plan.

Our commitment remains to create avenues for open dialogue and action-oriented initiatives. We will ensure that feedback from students, parents, and staff is thoughtfully integrated into our strategies. Responsive changes will be made to meet the needs identified in the survey data. Once finalised and approved by the College Council, our Annual Plan and Strategic Plan will be made available on our website.

As we move forward in the spirit of Strength Through Unity, our efforts will be anchored in four strategic pillars:

POPPATHWAYS –  Personalised Learning Journeys: This pillar is dedicated to refining our College Learning Design by integrating differentiation and Universal Design for Learning, ensuring a highly personalised educational journey for your child. With a sharp focus on individual pathways for growth and performance, we tailor teaching strategies to meet each student’s unique needs. By doing so, we cultivate an engaging, dynamic, and effective learning environment that empowers every learner to reach their full potential.

POPENRICH – Expanding Enrichment Opportunities: Our commitment to enrichment extends beyond academics. POPENRICH will shape all the extracurricular programs available across the College. This year, we are expanding our offerings in response to insights gained from the survey data, ensuring a diverse and engaging range of activities for all students.

POPACTIVE – Encouraging Physical and Sporting Excellence:  POPACTIVE fosters student engagement in physical activities and sports. This includes outdoor education camps, school sporting clubs (such as cross country), and extracurricular activities like Auskick. We are also strengthening our partnerships with local sporting clubs, such as equestrian programs, to provide broader opportunities for students to thrive in physical pursuits.

POPCONNECT – Strengthening Community Partnerships: A thriving school community is built on strong connections. POPCONNECT will drive our Community Partnership Program, fostering meaningful engagement between students, parents, caregivers, and College leaders. Key initiatives include biannual College Student Summits and POPCONNECT Meetings. Through Student Leadership Pathways, year-level representatives will contribute ideas to the Student Leadership Council (SLC), which will refine and present them at the College Student Summit. Elected students will collaborate with the Head of College, P&F, and College Council representatives to implement and review student-led initiatives. POPCONNECT meetings will further strengthen family engagement, providing a vital platform for year-level representatives to meet each term with College leadership. These meetings will ensure that feedback, ideas, and collaborative efforts shape and enhance the learning experience for all.

As we shape the future of our College with Strength Through Unity, grounded in hope, courage, service, and grace, we invite you to embrace these emerging opportunities. The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 that just as the human body has many parts, each with a unique role, so too does Christ’s body, the Church. Likewise, our College thrives when we unite our diverse skills, interests, and abilities with a shared purpose. Together, as One College with God at the centre, we can build a strong, connected community.

As we undertake this work, let us be guided by Scripture:

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God has forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).

May this inspire us to foster a community of kindness, empathy, and collaboration in shaping the best learning environment for our students.

Yours in Christ,

Dr Susan Carter
Head of College

Keeping You in the Loop

Throughout the year, the College communicates with families through various channels, including SEQTA, phone, letter, email, and in-person meetings. These methods are used for important, urgent, or time-sensitive information.

In addition there are several other avenues we use to keep our families up to date with what is happening around the College: 

SEQTA

SEQTA is our primary Learning Management System, serving as the main communication platform between the College and parents/caregivers.

Through SEQTA, teachers and administration staff can send direct messages, share important notices, and provide updates on assessments, results, student timetables, and reports. Parents and caregivers can also communicate directly with teachers, ensuring seamless collaboration. All correspondence is securely archived within the system for easy reference.

By using SEQTA, we aim to keep families informed and engaged in their child’s learning journey.

Junior Campus News

Welcome Back – It’s So Good to See You!

Our vibrant Junior Campus has come alive with the wonderful hum of learning, the joy of reconnecting with friends, playful squeals, and lively handball banter. The beautiful weather has been perfect for the Year 3 to Year 6 swimming lessons, which are now underway. While our staff worked tirelessly in preparation for the first day, the true magic happens when the children arrive—bringing our community to life as we share stories and embark on another year of learning together.

It was fantastic to see so many of you at the Parent Information Sessions earlier this week. The connections we build and the sense of community at POP are truly special. For those who couldn’t attend, the PowerPoint presentations will be available in the SEQTA portals for your convenience.

Strength Through Unity – Our Theme for 2025

This year, our College is embracing the theme “Strength Through Unity”—a reflection of our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every individual is valued and encouraged to thrive.

Through collaboration, respect, and shared purpose, we will strengthen our connections, celebrate diversity, and empower one another to achieve our best. Together, we look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and meaningful experiences.

A Special Welcome to New Families and Staff

A warm welcome to all our new families, especially our Prep students who are settling in beautifully. It has been wonderful to see their excitement and enthusiasm as they begin their learning journey at POP!

We are also delighted to welcome Dr. Susan Carter, our new Head of College. She has been busy getting to know the POP community, and I encourage both children and parents to introduce yourselves—she loves hearing your stories and learning about what makes POP so special.

We are learning about the many skills she has and the depth of her experience in education as we journey together.  We now know that she absolutely loves sport and was pretty good at the pick-up game of basketball we had today with one of our new basketball hoops bought with the money from the Colour Fun Run.

  • Leading POP ENRICH extension programs such as Maths Olympiad, Readers Cup, ICAS, and classroom differentiation strategies.
  • Supporting school improvement initiatives and aligning teaching practices with College priorities.

We look forward to an exciting year ahead as our students, families, and staff learn, grow, and thrive together!

Be Blessed

Anne-Marie Schmidt
Head of Campus – Junior

Welcome!

As we embark on a new school year, we extend a warm welcome to each one of you! Whether you’re returning to campus or joining us for the first time, your presence enriches our vibrant community.

Our college is more than just a place of learning; it’s a dynamic community where diverse backgrounds, ideas, and dreams converge. We encourage everyone to actively participate in creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. This means respecting differences, offering a helping hand, and understanding that each person’s journey is unique.

To strengthen our sense of community, we have planned a diverse range of activities and events throughout the year. From special celebrations and sports competitions to volunteer initiatives and social gatherings, there’s something for everyone. Getting involved in these experiences is a wonderful way to connect with others, develop new skills, and create lasting memories.

A thriving community also prioritises the wellbeing of its members. At Prince of Peace, we are committed to supporting the physical, mental, and emotional health of our students. We provide a variety of resources and encourage open conversations about wellbeing, fostering a culture, where seeking help and supporting one another is both welcomed and encouraged.

 The Resilience Project

This year, we continue our partnership with The Resilience Project, equipping students with essential skills to build emotional literacy and resilience. The research is clear; the more positive emotion you experience, the more resilient you will be.

The Bible also tells us ‘Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.’
Philippians 4:6

The Resilience Project (TRP) focuses on three key pillars proven to cultivate positive emotion: Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness (GEM). Their programs also have a strong focus on Connection, Purpose, Kindness, Emotional Literacy and Physical Health.

As parents and carers, you also have access to this program through the Parent & Carer Hub.

 My Mind Check

Checking in with students is important to ensure they feel supported, engaged, and valued in their learning journey. Regular check-ins help identify any challenges they may be facing, celebrate their achievements, and provide guidance to foster their academic, social, and emotional well-being.

To assist with this, PoP will engage with My Mind Check. My Mind Check is a free, voluntary and evidence-based digital mental health and wellbeing check-in for Australian schools. It gives schools proactive information about students, direct from students. The tool assists schools to understand their students and use quality, evidence-based data to make wellbeing decisions.

This program is an opt in service and permissions will be coming out soon. If you require further information about this program, please visit https://mymindcheck.org.au/

We look forward to partnering with you to be proactive in supporting our students mental wellbeing.

As we step into this new school year, remember that Prince of Peace is more than just a place of learning—it’s a community to call home. It’s where friendships grow, knowledge is shared, and lasting memories are created. We look forward to all that we will achieve together and can’t wait to see the incredible moments this year will bring.

Middle & Senior Campus News

Welcome to 2025 – the year of Strength in Unity

As we celebrate the beginning of a new year of learning, growing, and serving at Prince of Peace. We welcome new and existing students, staff, and families to our community. In 2025 we are excited to bring to life opportunities for our young people and families the College’s strategic vision through four focus areas:

  • POPPATHWAYS – Personalised Pathways. Personalised Learning. Every day. Every child.
  • POPENRICH – Allows students to explore their interests and passions through a diverse range of extracurricular activities, offering personalised opportunities tailored to each individual.
  • POPACTIVE – Incorporates all physical and sporting opportunities available to Prince of Peace Students.
  • POPCONNECT  – is our community partnership program for connecting College Parent & Caregiver Volunteers with families in their chosen year level in a meaningful and purposeful way.

It has been so great to see our young people make connections with their peers and teachers in our learning space in exploring all the opportunities that awaits them to help them enrich their passions, strengths and create meaning and purpose in their lives.

Celebrating Academic Success and Inspiring Achievement

We have much to celebrate and be thankful for as we have had the opportunity in Week 1 and 2 to recognise student academic achievements from Semester 2 in 2024. We were able present Academic Awards in Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels in Middel and Senior Awards Assemblies. We congratulate students who received these Awards

 

They are listed in this edition of POPCORN ADD LINK AND LINK TO PHOTO GALLERY and list of awards recpients.

 

I would like to congratulate all of our young people in pursuing their personal excellence and My Pop Pathway with us at Prince of Peace in 2024 and hope they can reflect on their proud moments that brings hope into the new year.

We wish to extend our special congratulations and blessings to our Year 12 graduating class of 2024, and it was a delight to have them return for the Senior Awards Assembly and hear about their joys in beginning their Tertiary studies.

Included in this edition of POPCORN is the College Dux for 2024, Nathan Lily’s speech who was unable to be with us in person as he has begun his training at the ADFA. We hope ’s word Nathan’s words bring you much encouragement for the journey that a young person travels through the middle and senior years of education at Prince of Peace and hope for the future.

I would like to take this opportunity to share a few thoughts on the strategies that helped me throughout Year 11 and 12. The first and, in my opinion, most beneficial strategy is to connect in at school early. This doesn’t just mean showing up to class but truly paying attention. It might sound trivial or even cliché but genuinely investing effort during your school hours will pay off in the long run. The more you focus, concentrate, and work hard at school, the less you’ll need to do at home. This approach helps reduce the need for extensive study closer to exams.

Most importantly, focusing at school gives you the opportunity to do the second most important thing: relax. Relaxing means stepping away from schoolwork completely—no thinking, no discussing, and no working. I know this can be tough, especially when people around you, like friends or family, bring up school topics. However, it’s essential to set boundaries and let them know when it’s time to unwind. Thinking about schoolwork while trying to relax is one of the most counterproductive things you can do.

Taking time to relax will not only help you enjoy your year but will also improve your sleep. As my parents would tell you, I probably slept more than I studied, and they were right! That rest was essential in allowing me to recharge and be mentally sharp. A well-rested mind can focus better and longer, making it easier to concentrate at school and be productive when you need to be.

When it comes to studying, my advice is to focus on the easy stuff first. Work through it until you feel extremely confident. For subjects that require memorization, start with the easiest things to remember and build from there. If you need help, quiz yourself, or ask others to do it. The more questions you see—even if you can’t answer them all—the easier it will be when you face similar ones in an exam. In fact, I recommend trying the most difficult questions you can find. Not being able to answer them right away might seem frustrating, but it will help make tough exam questions feel more familiar and help you stay calm during the real thing.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, make sure to have fun. If you can, try to make studying enjoyable, but more importantly, make your life fun. Enjoy the process, because at the end of the day, that’s what truly matters. Be kind to yourself and be kind to your friends. Remember you are not in this alone, I am because we are and because we are, you are.

On behalf of the class of 2024, I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and gratitude to all the teachers and staff of Prince of Peace, both past and present. Without your dedication and commitment to our journeys, we wouldn’t be the individuals we are today. From Kindy through to Year 12, you have guided us with patience, care, and wisdom, and we are truly grateful for the support you’ve provided throughout our time here.

It would be negligent to finish without expressing our eternal thanks to our parents, family, and friends. Your unconditional support and belief in our abilities helped guide us through the challenging times while celebrating our successes, no matter how big or small. Thank you for the privilege and opportunity to express my thoughts to you as we celebrate all the achievements of the Class of 2024. To the new Year 12s — good luck in your journey ahead, and in the words of Neil deGrasse Tyson: “There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.”

May these words from Philippians 4:8 give you hope and peace at the start of 2025:

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Every blessing,

Sarah Hoff-Zweck
Head of Campus – Middle and Senior

Strengthening How We Deliver Learning

Welcome to the 2025 academic year. It has been exciting to welcome returning students as well as meeting new members of our learning community. Personalised Pathways is the pillar that learning is delivered on the Middle and Senior College. POP Pathway Every Day for Every Student.

During professional learning week the focus was on strengthening how we deliver learning to all our students. As a teaching staff we hold rigorously to the professional teaching practice of knowing each student. Knowing our students is supported by the Australian Institute of Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) teaching standards and by the work of eminent researcher and academic John Hattie. Essentially, we must know each student that enters any learning space, knowing them each as learners and what is required to support and provide ‘best practice’ learning experiences for them.

Explicit teaching is seen when teachers make clear the learning process, skills required, language required and content knowledge for our students. It is the building blocks for learning to grow, flourish and deepen.

The structure of learning continues to be shaped as we make explicit the process of learning acquisition with Learning Intentions being provided at the beginning so that students know what the focus of learning will be in a particular lesson or series of lessons. Students know the goal. With Learning Intentions students are active in the learning process.

Success criteria is central in the learning cycle to provide students with an active and clear understanding of what is required to be successful in the learning process. Success Criteria enables students with what they already know and provides them with the steps of what they need to learn next.

Differentiation instruction means that the teacher anticipates the differences in students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles and, as a result, creates different learning paths so that students have the opportunity to learn as much as they can as deeply as they can.

Learning Routines will be a pedagogical approach that teachers will use to reveal students thinking. They engage students in planning and evaluating their learning and promote metacognitive dialogue about learning.

I look forward to communication with you about the learning that occurs throughout the year.

Artists on Show Soiree

Tuesday 11 March 6pm – Middle & Senior Campus Auditorium

Start practicing your solo pieces and send Ms Brady a DM if you want to perform or present. It is always a fabulous opportunity to appreciate our solo artists with so much talent on display. This year it is also the first opportunity to enjoy individual performances from our drama students. I can’t wait to hear those amazing monologues. In the foyer of the auditorium on MSC we hope to have instalment from our Visual Arts students so that we can appreciate them in this same context.

This is the only opportunity in our Arts Schedule which is specifically designed to honour individual effort, skill and creativity. Many of the Term 1 assessment pieces are due around this time. Make a plan to share these with a broader audience and really test yourself in a public context. The program always fills quickly and nominations will close on Friday 7 March.

Music Rehearsals have started for Ensembles and you should find appointments in SEQTA both for these and for private tuition.  Ensemble rehearsals for 2025 are operating as per the schedule below.  We have a new ensemble in 2025. Sing and Dance with Hilary will happen on the stage of the Auditorium on a Monday at lunchtime. This will be open to all comers but will particularly suit students who love music theatre, dancing, singing (obviously) or want to prepare material show auditions, this year or in the future. Don’t forget that the Friday Drumming Circle is also open to everyone. Come and be a part of it.

Please remember how important it is to your team that everyone is there!

Its not too late to sign up for Private Tuition in Voice, Drums, Guitar, Piano, Woodwind, Brass and Strings. If you want to start lessons in 2025 you will find the relevant forms on the Parent Portal of the School Website under Middle Senior Campus Information. You could also collect a form from the Senior Campus main office or from Ms Brady in M1 or follow this link:
