Dear Parents and Caregivers

As we approach the final days of first term, with the promise of Easter on the horizon and the welcome pause of the school holidays soon upon us, we are invited into a sacred time of reflection. The events of Holy Week draw us deeply into the heart of our faith—the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ. In the Church’s Jubilee Year of Hope, we are called not only to remember the hope we find in the Risen Christ but to become bearers of that hope in our daily lives. This call echoes powerfully within our 2025 school theme, Ignite Hope with Compassionate Hearts, reminding us that it is often in the small, quiet gestures of love and compassion that the light of hope flickers and grows.

Easter is not just a celebration of new life; it is a profound reminder that love triumphs over fear, light over darkness, and hope over despair. The Resurrection of Christ offers us a lens through which to view the world—not with cynicism or defeat, but with faith in what can be transformed. In our own school community, we witness glimpses of this transformation daily: in the resilience of our students, in the selflessness of our parent and caregivers who volunteer to support our many programs and initiatives, and in the unwavering dedication of our staff. As we prepare for the Easter season, may we be renewed by the hope of the Risen Christ and continue to be courageous signs of God’s mercy and compassion in the lives of others.

Red Bow Month and Muscular Dystrophy Queensland

For 32 years, our school has stood alongside Muscular Dystrophy Queensland, embodying our school value of service through unwavering commitment to those living with neuromuscular conditions. Our annual Year 11 Red Bow Day event is more than just a fundraiser—it is a testament to the compassionate hearts of our students, who actively contribute to providing essential equipment, services, and support for individuals facing significant daily challenges through their CBD fundraising. This year, our Year 11 students once again led this initiative with energy and empathy, raising over $17,000 and awareness to inspire hope for those living with degenerative muscular diseases.

It was a privilege to attend an event at Queensland Government House this week to acknowledge the extraordinary work of Muscular Dystrophy Queensland (MDQld) and the impact of our long-standing partnership. It is very humbling that our collective efforts have been nominated by MDQld for the Queensland Philanthropy Awards—a recognition of the generosity, advocacy, and action that define our school community. This nomination is not just about what we have given; it is a celebration of the way our students live our 2025 school theme Inspire Hope with Compassionate Hearts, using their time, and energy to support those experiencing challenges. 

Pope Francis' announcement of the 2025 Jubilee Year, themed "Hope Does Not Disappoint," invites us to reflect on the profound links between this special year, our Lenten journey, and the message of Easter. Jubilee, rooted in biblical tradition, is a time of spiritual renewal, pilgrimage, and reconciliation, echoing the themes of Lent. As we embark on our Lenten journey, we are called to repentance and renewal, preparing our hearts for Easter's message of resurrection and new life.

The Jubilee Year, which begins on December 24, 2024, and concludes on January 6, 2026, emphasizes pilgrimage—both physical journeys to Rome and spiritual journeys within our local communities. This echoes the Lenten call to journey inward, seeking deeper communion with God.

Easter, celebrating Jesus’ victory over sin and death, is the culmination of our Lenten preparation. Similarly, the Jubilee year offers a time of remission of sins and universal pardon, aligning perfectly with the transformative message of Easter. As we align our 2025 school theme, "Ignite Hope with Compassionate Hearts," with this sacred time, let us embrace the call to foster hope and compassion within our community, journeying together in faith, hope, and renewal.

God of Mercy and Hope,
In this Jubilee Year we come before You with hearts open to Your grace.
As we journey through Lent and embrace the promise of Easter, 
may we ignite hope with compassionate hearts.
Guide us in our Lenten pilgrimage, drawing closer to You each day.
Help us to live out the message of resurrection, embracing new life and forgiveness.
Fill us with the courage to foster hope and compassion, reflecting Your love in all we do.
May our school community be a beacon of faith, hope, and renewal, united in Your Spirit.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, who conquered sin and death to bring us eternal life.
Amen.

I would like to thank and congratulate our Year 11 students for their amazing efforts in raising money for Muscular Dystrophy Queensland through their involvement in the Red Bow Day collection on Friday, 14 March.

Our students raised $ 17,204 despite a 30-minute period during which the digital collection devices did not work. This is a fantastic effort in just over two hours!

Thank you to the Year 11s for their energy, enthusiasm and big smiles. We are proud of them and how they represented AHS to support this important cause.

I wanted to share some highlights from a wonderful session I had the pleasure of presenting to our Year 5 cohort on Tuesday, as part of their introduction to the Religious Life of All Hallows’ School.

During the presentation, we delved into the visible and some of the less obvious ways All Hallows’ reflects its identity as a Catholic Mercy school for girls. We explored how our built environment is thoughtfully utilised to tell our story and embody our core beliefs and values. The students were particularly engaged in discussing the various ways our practices and interactions, such as the reciprocal blessing and greeting between staff and students, "Good morning... and may God bless you," communicate our values and the care we take to show respect to each other.

We also examined aspects of our school life that are uniquely Mercy in their nature. The symbol of the cup of tea, the statue of Catherine McAuley, and the visible presence of our Mercy values were just a few examples that the students could identify. Seeing their excitement and understanding grow as we talked about these symbols was heartening.

What truly thrilled the students was our extensive Mercy Action program, which reflects our values of respect, compassion, and justice. This program resonated deeply with them, highlighting the importance of our actions in living out our values.

Overall, the session was a fantastic reminder of how words, symbols, and iconography are vital in communicating our faith and keeping our story alive. It was a joy to see the students' enthusiasm and engagement, and I know that Year 5 teachers will continue these meaningful conversations with them.

We have a few days left for the Easter Appeal donation collection and have received requests for food, toiletries, and even cleaning items from organisations supporting families with cost-of-living pressures. 

Please consider adding a few extra items to your shopping list this weekend.  Monday, 31 March, is the final day to drop items into boxes outside Heads of House offices and in our Years 5 and 6 classrooms.

Mid Semester 1 Interim Reports are now available to view in the Parent Lounge. The Guide to Accessing Interim Reports (TASS) is designed to assist our families in accessing and viewing Student Reports. All current subjects (except for Years 7 – 10 Fit for Life) receive Interim Report comments.

The Mid Semester Interim Reports provide parents with feedback regarding their student's learner characteristics across four areas. There is also feedback through a general indication of each student’s overall learning progress based on classwork, formative assessment and checks for understanding. Finally, there is an opportunity to indicate the teachers' wish or support for the Parent or Caregiver to book an interview at the Term 2 Parent/Student/Teacher feedback meetings.

The AHS Interim Reporting Explanatory Notes accompany each published Interim Report and provide a guide for understanding judgements of Learner Characteristics and Learning Progress.

How teachers and students use qualitative and quantitative assessment information is vital to understanding and improving learning. Effective feedback encourages self-reflection, allows students to actively monitor and evaluate their own learning, and facilitates self-direction and motivation. This Mid-Semester 1 Interim Report is read in conjunction with the Progressive Feedback made available through Learning Analytics (TrackOne).

Should you experience any difficulties accessing reports following this guide or logging into the Parent Hub, please contact our school for support at webhelpdesk@ahs.qld.edu.au. 

If you have any queries relating to the feedback provided, your first point of contact is with the specific teacher through your student, via the Parent Lounge or the relevant Head of Department. 

Parent/Student/Teacher Feedback Meetings

For your forward planning, please note that our Parent/Student/Teacher Feedback meetings are scheduled for Years 7 to 12 for the afternoon and evening of Thursday 8 May (from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm) and for Years 5 to 12 on Wednesday 14 May (from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm). 

Further information regarding these meetings will be communicated next week. You may wish to schedule into your diaries now that bookings for the Parent/Student/Teacher meetings will be made through the Parent Lounge and will open at 7.00pm on Wednesday 23 April and will close at 10.00am on Friday 2 May 2025.

Year 5 Eureka Excursion

On Tuesday, March 18, our students stepped back in time to immerse themselves in a unique experience of living out part of Australia’s history and culture. We visited a purpose-built, interactive colony at Beenleigh to learn more about what life was like on the goldfields in the 1850s.  

To start our day, students were met by bushranger Shelley, who took us to the township, shared stories about the town, and introduced us to some other local bushrangers.  We then participated in role play at the General Store, explored the thriving township and identified key people and places, panned for gold, shouting  ‘EUREKA’ if we were successful, and we made damper at the local bakery (and ate it warm out of the camp oven with golden syrup).  

The most exciting part of the day was purchasing gold licences and searching for gold nuggets in the expansive fields!  This was a fun way to learn about the significant events that helped shape Australia as a nation.  Thank you to Ms. Purse, who has prepared an informative and engaging History unit for us to learn about early settlement in Australia this term. We are looking forward to learning more about life on the goldfields during Term 2!

Some of the most memorable parts of the day, as retold by our Year 5 classmates, included:

Chloe Fricker 5.1

My favourite thing was watching the damper being made. It felt nice to watch it being kneaded and I liked seeing how it was put in the camp oven. It tasted so good with the golden syrup!

Isabella Abussi 5.2

I liked the gold rush activity in the afternoon. I got 50 pounds! I liked learning about what it was like for people back in the 1850’s when there wasn’t enough food for everyone.

Scarlett McKellar 5.3

I liked finding the gold nuggets in the fields and swapping it for money. It was like a scavenger hunt, and I was successful in making 65 pounds! 

Olivia Ahlberg 5.4

The gold rush activity at the end was my favourite. We got to run around, and we got lollies at the end. I got 45 pounds, but I could have gotten more if I was quicker! 

Emmie Riley 5.5

I loved the gold rush game. We got lollies at the end! I also loved the General Store where I sold items to people. I also liked making damper and finding gold. 

AHS Student and Significant Adult Book Club

Every term, we host a book club for students in Years 5, 6 and 7, warmly welcoming their parents, caregivers, grandparents and significant adults to read along and join us. 

This term, we welcomed new and returning attendees to explore the fantastic book ‘Small Acts’ by Kate Gordon and Kate Foster. We were also fortunate to be joined by the author Kate Foster for part of the session, where she answered many questions about the writing, the characters and story, and the inspiration behind the book.

Our next book club event will be in Term 2 (Wednesday, 4th June). We will be reading Wurrtoo: The Wombat Who Fell in Love with the Sky by Tylissa Elisara and illustrated by Dylan Finney. 

Additional information will be sent out at the end of this term. Please feel free to contact the Library library@ahs.qld.edu.au for any enquiries. 

Parent Information Session

Mrs. Simmone Irvine (Head of Pastoral Care)

Last week, I had a maths exam, and unfortunately, I wrote my answers on the planning paper—the one that doesn’t get marked. Luckily, everything worked out in the end, but in the moment it was overwhelming. Realising that half my exam might not count was pure panic. It felt like all my effort had been for nothing, and for a second, nothing else seemed to matter. 

But here’s the thing: while exams can feel like make-or-break situations, they aren’t. They’re just a small piece of a much bigger puzzle.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the stress, in the idea that one mistake could define our future, but when you take a step back, you realise that in five years you won’t remember the grade you got on a single maths exam. What you will remember are the lessons you learnt, the resilience you built, and the incredible things you went on to do.

In such an assessment heavy time, we must keep reminding ourselves that these exams don’t define us. They test a few hours of our knowledge, not our intelligence, not our potential, and definitely not our worth. Life is bigger than a piece of paper with a number on it. 

So while it’s okay to stress in the moment, don’t let it take over, because one exam does not determine the rest of your life.  

Have a great holiday everyone! 

Love Bella xx 
Song choice of the week – All Falls Down (Lizzy McAlpine) 🧡

Term 1 has been very busy in the Library. The Year 5 High-5 Day and the Year 7 Discovery Days inducted students into Library Services offered at All Hallows’ School. Library Programs such as the Year 5 and 6 Family Bookclub, Writing Club, Makerspace and Cre8Lab have been popular. Many research and reading lessons have been conducted as well as weekly Year 5 and 6 Library Lessons. 

Term 1 has seen the English Department collaborating with the Library via the provision of additional class novels designed to encourage, develop and practice reading skills, so that when assessment occurs later in the year for set novels, students have a strong foundation.  This approach also uses “discussion” of reading as a key strategy. Another initiative that is spreading widely is the use of reading journals, where students respond to their reading via writing. Other Departments also encourage recreational reading via novels, including History and Science. The Library has responded to the significant increase in popularity and demand for graphic novels by purchasing more of such titles. Additional audiobooks have been purchased to support students reading in any format they prefer.

Deakin University Surprising facts about Aussie teens' reading habits revealed | Deakin reported in April 2024 that almost three in 10 students from Years 7-12 say they do not read in their spare time. Research shows that recreational reading, also known as “reading for pleasure” is closely linked to student academic success. This highlights an urgent need to foster reading when there are so many competing factors for student time such as technology, social media and study requirements, and when many students may not yet appreciate the value and importance of reading. Whitten%20Final.pdf See recent research on students and reading at: How are teens reading in Australia? - Australia Reads and Discovering-a-Good-Read-Survey-Report_FINAL.pdf Key takeaways from this research are the importance of regular reading habits, encouraging a range of formats, selling the joys and comfort of reading, showing how others are reading and the importance of choice in reading materials. 

One recommended approach is to avoid the use of terminology around labelling students as reluctant readers or non-readers. The research recommends applying a growth mindset with the perspective that some students may not be keen readers “yet.” This fosters a focus on investigation and exploration to assist students in discovering books they enjoy. The AHS Library has the slogan of #AHStimes20 where we recommend 20 minutes per day to be spent on independent reading of books on most days. 

Parents are a very influential factor in the amount of time that students spend reading. We are very appreciative of the wonderful support provided by parents and carers at AHS in encouraging student reading. The All Hallows’ Potter Library website has many resources to support reading: https://allhallows.libguides.com/. Parents and carers are most welcome to contact library@ahs.qld.edu.au to support student reading. 

Please see some photos here from Term 1 Library activities. The Library hosted a display of First Nations authors and a Tjanpi weaving activity on National Close the Gap Day, on 20 March supporting our Human Rights Mercy Action students. The display and weaving were part of a broader campaign by our Human Rights group students, shining a light on National Close the Gap Day.    

Year 10 Religion classes have been studying First Nations Spirituality this term. Thus, library lessons for Year 10 have focused on highlighting our First Nations research collection and providing immersive experiences for our students, such as yarning Circles and weaving workshops.

Please also see photos of cardboard critters recently made in the Makerspace.

The 2025 All Hallows’ Performing Arts Showcase Day was held on Sunday, 23 March. 

Most AHS instrumental ensembles had the opportunity to perform for the first time in 2025 during five mostly sold-out concerts in Claver Theatre. The concerts started at 10.00am and finished by 4.45pm. It was wonderful to see each ensemble's progress since they started rehearsing in Term 4 2024. 

Throughout the Sunday event, the Performing Arts Support Group provided refreshments for sale in the Kiosk and ran a much-appreciated sausage sizzle in the Piazza. Huge thanks go to all the parents and family supporters who volunteered their services in various ways during the day. 

Thanks also go to all the AHS staff members, student announcers, ensemble directors, and young musicians who performed.
