Term Four each year is a very active time in the life of the College as we take the opportunity to acknowledge the many achievements of students throughout the year. We also ensure that students transitioning from the Primary to the Secondary Campus and from other schools to the College in 2016 are well prepared for the opportunities that await.

Acknowledgement of student achievement is an important underpinning of a TSAC education.

Wherever possible, the College seeks to highlight the achievements of students, understanding this is a relative concept. Such acknowledgement should not be confi ned to more able students. Certainly, the acknowledgement of the ‘high fliers’ is important however equally important is the acknowledgement of students who have achieved great things given their respective level of ability. Such acknowledgement should extend beyond the academic and extracurricular realms and into the domains of personal growth and development, as well as service to the wider community.

Underpinning this view is the notion of ‘growth mindsets’. Based on years of research by Stanford

Page 2 - October 2015 - The Greater Springfield Times

University’s Dr Carol Dweck, Lisa Blackwell Ph.D. and colleagues, they found that students who learn this mindset show greater motivation in school, better grades, and higher test scores. Their research also suggests that students who are enthusiastic, hardworking, persistent learners take charge over their own success. When students and educators have a growth mindset, they understand that intelligence can be developed.

Across the overall College offering, students are also exposed to a range of age appropriate understandings and challenges. Central to this approach is the development of attributes such as teamwork, emotional intelligence, resilience, critical and creative thinking and the ability to solve complex problems, all which will stand students in good stead beyond school, irrespective of their career pathways.

Schooling in this second decade of the 21st Century is certainly a very different paradigm to those before. Long gone are the days of the learning and regurgitation of knowledge, now replaced by a much greater emphasis on the personal traits that the world of work is seeking.

Palaszczuk czuk MP Personally Speaking Palaszc with Susannah Friis Recently, my daughter and I went to see Joshua Radin, an American singer/songwriter, at a small venue in Westend. It started out fine; with the help of google maps, we found our way to the general area (I’m afraid I’m terribly suburban and don’t venture into the city very often!). Once there, we had difficulty finding the actual venue. If you know Westend at all, you’ll know that parking is in short supply, so after parking in a secure parking spot, it was a bit of a walk to find the place.

We walked and then drove up and down the same street for what seemed an age. At one point we both seriously considered just sitting down at one of the many restaurants and forgetting about the show altogether. Eventually, after driving up a tiny side street, we saw two burly bouncers outside an open door and discovered this was the place!

There was no signage. And by that, I mean, no signage at all. From the front, the building looked abandoned, which was why we had passed it so many times without realising it was what we were looking for. By the time we found it, my daughter had blisters and we were both feeling a bit cranky about the wasted hour trying to find where we were meant to be. Once inside, our mood brightened and we settled in to enjoy the artist we both love. We ended up having a fantastic night and the story of our mishaps before the show are already something we laugh about, our annoyance and sore feet all forgotten.

It struck me later how often in life we give up looking for something when the signs aren’t clear, or non existent, as in our case that evening! Even though we may have already invested in a pursuit (just as my daughter and I had already bought tickets), it can be tempting to abandon the goal when it’s unclear where to go.

And if we find ourselves being tempted to give up, it can be useful to look at the goal and whether it’s what we really want. You see, we both really, really, really wanted to see this artist, so we were determined to find where he was. When we set goals, if our motivation isn’t right, it can be our undoing when it gets tough. If we set our goals according to other’s standards or expectations, often that isn’t enough to get us over the line.

I read a great quote the other day, “If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.� (Jim Rohn) It’s true isn’t it? And I think the crucial part is in the ‘you’ - if the goal is propelled by the right motivation, in other words, if you own it, you’re far more likely to succeed.

Sometimes, just like our night out, we are in the right area but there’s nothing pointing us to exactly the right spot.

I wonder if that is often just as it should be...do we have what it takes, the right motivation, to not give up until we have the exact thing we went to that area for. The absence of clarity doesn’t always mean it’s a lost cause, often, it just means we need to look a little harder, dig a little deeper and be prepared to knock on a few doors that seem to be abandoned buildings before finding success.

Junior Roller Derby Ipswich was founded in April of 2013 as a co-ed club and currently has 15 skaters of all different skill levels. Some of the skaters are ready for full contact and skated in early October in the Tropicarnage Cup held at Morayfield.

Training is every Monday (except school holidays) from 5.30-7.30 pm at the Ipswich Showgrounds. Skaters need to bring their own skates, protective pads, helmet, mouthguard and water bottle for each training session. The cost is only $10/skater and young people aged between 5-17 years old are encouraged to join at any time of the year.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been skating for years or are a beginner, the friendly coaches are fully qualified and will teach you all you need to know about the derby. All coaches play derby too, which allows them to pass on skills they have learnt to other skaters.

If your child is interested in joining, contact one of the coaches - Sharon on 0402 591 120 or Storm on 0434 482 878 who are happy to answer any questions or find them on Facebook www.facebook.com/juniorrollerderbyipswich.

Free program promotes digital document storage Senior Springfield and surrounds residents will have the opportunity on 30 October to secure important documents digitally. Ipswich City Council Youth and Seniors Committee Chairperson Cr Sheila Ireland said the Seniors Consultative Committee had developed the For Safe Keeping Project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through this special project, seniors can have their important documents and paperwork scanned and stored on a USB stick. Participants are required to book into the session, where they will bring along their paperwork and have it scanned by one of the members of the Seniors Consultative Committee. This is stored on a USB, which participants then take home with them. No data is retained by council or the committee,â&#x20AC;? Cr Ireland said.

Cr Ireland said Queensland Emergency Services had provided 50 free USB sticks for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Examples of documents which should be scanned include medication lists, insurance papers, passport, birth certificates and marriage certificates.

Welcome to the October edition of the Greater Springfield Times. Last month went by very quickly and thankfully we are now seeing some warmer weather. Last month the branch held its usual branch meeting which was followed by the AGM. The branch was able to fill all positions but of course always welcome additional committee members.

The meeting was attended by our new Zone 101 Chairman, Rob Spencer, who gave an overview of how he saw his role in supporting the branches in the Zone. Members had the chance to meet and talk with Rob during the light luncheon held afterwards.

Day Trippers social event for October was to Walkabout Creek. Enoggera Reservoir and for November they plan a day out to the Queensland Museum at South Bank and lunching somewhere nearby either in the park or restaurant.

This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus trip with the Ipswich branch of National Seniors was to the Mudgeeraba Light Horse Museum and afterwards lunch at Mudgeerbra Hotel.

Guest speaker for the October 20 October Branch meeting will be Peter Nunan, from the Queensland Maritime Museum, who will talk about the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projects. The Museum was established in 1971 and is located at the South Brisbane Dry Dock and is supported by a number of committed volunteers.

The Social Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month at a coffee shop somewhere in the local district, and Day Trippers plan their excursions for the second Tuesday of each month. The aim of these outings is to learn how to use public transport and to enjoy a less costly day out.

National Seniors Goodna/Redbank branch meets on the third Tuesday of each month, 10.00am for 10.30am at the Goodna Leagues Club, Brisbane Terrace, Goodna. For further information about branch activities please contact Val Randle Secretary on 3297 5735.

ROTARY CLUB of Greater Springfield Rotary returns to Brookwater

UPDATE BY Chris Steinback

Rotary has had a long relationship with Brookwater, having conducted its meetings and activities at the Brookwater Golf and Country Club since 2004. So it was a significant moment when the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield returned recently, thus renewing Rotary’s relationship with the golf club.

This event was celebrated when club president Lee Watson welcomed the District Governor John Crawford, friends and partners to the meeting. A highlight of the meeting was the induction of two local residents Shirlee Green and Mauricio Avila into the Rotary family. The Rotary Club of Greater Springfield is growing while rising to the challenge of maintaining our ongoing support for local and international communities.

The District Governor John Crawford spoke about this years Rotary theme - be a gift to the world. “Yes we do have a positive attitude of getting the thing done,” he said. “We are out there helping the world. We are out there selling sausages and interacting with the public. We are out there delivering disaster relief, assisting the disadvantaged in the community and supporting local youth with our youth programs.

“We are a country of flood and drought and a lot of Australians out there, especially in the outback, need Rotary’s help to ease the hardship encountered when mother nature batters the Bush and changes it from lush, to harsh living conditions.”

Rotary is supporting the drought ravaged outback. To date over $200,000 has been distributed by local clubs out West, where the conditions are extreme, no rain on the horizon, paddocks de-stocked and even the local wildlife lay dying in the paddocks. John encouraged the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield to continue to support the Rotary Drought Aid Relief initiative.

Joining with your local Rotary Club can help you build new friendships and business networks.

You will have the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded local people to improve the lives of others both within your community, and around the world. Rotary will help you to help others and with the Rotary Club of Greater Springfield, we think you’ll have fun along the way too.

The Rotary Club of Greater Springfield holds its meetings every Tuesday evening at 6.30pm at the Brookwater Golf and Country Club, 1 Tournament Drive Brookwater.

For enquiries, contact Club Secretary Lachlan Clarke on 0409 711 199, or President Lee Watson on 0404 052 354.

The first Wednesday of the month was our meeting day and we had a guest speaker from Alert Security which was very interesting. It’s something everybody should know; how to keep your personal details and credit cards save.

We went on our bus trip on 9th September to Hampton Auto Musuem in Toowoomba. Unfortunately, we had a bad start to the morning. The bus broke down at the bottom of Old Logan Road, right on the roundabout. It was a good job we had Colin Dodd, an ex-Policeman, on board to direct the traffic for us as there was quite a build up. We also had Alex on board who is a mechanic and he got the bus back on the road but Gordon, our bus driver, was not game to take the bus to Toowoomba so we changed buses in Ipswich which made us a little late getting there. Despite this setback, we still enjoyed the morning walking around the museum, the men in particular found it very interesting.

We also had a very nice lunch.

On 16th September, it was Show and Tell. We had about four members who told us their story. One that stood out was Dianne Reddich talking about her trip to Ireland.

Dianne went there to represent Australia in a lawn bowls disability competition. She won three medals: two gold and a silver. Well done Dianne!

We had board games on 23rd September and all enjoyed a lovely morning.

If you are interested in joining in on the fun we have here at the Camira Friends and Neighbours group, call me, Pat, on 3818 9343.

In the last twelve months the Ipswich Nursery Service has given away approximately 100,000 free plants to the community and coordinated 20 Mobile Nursery visits across the city. Parks, Sport and Recreation Committee Chairperson David Morrison said a $509,000 investment in the service in this year’s budget meant another year of great news for locals.

“Each year six plants from council’s nurseries are given free to residents to help beautify the city. Residents can choose from a range of trees, shrubs or groundcovers.

Grown in council’s own nurseries, all of the plant species have been chosen to suit the local climate and soil conditions,” Cr Morrison said.

“Staff from council’s nurseries are always on hand at these events to make sure you get the right advice and some great plants that suit your needs and your home. They will be able to help people make the right plant selections for their backyards.”

Anyone unable to access the mobile nursery is of course welcome to visit one of council’s permanent nurseries.

Ipswich City Council nurseries are located at: • Queens Park Nursery - Goleby Avenue, Ipswich - open Wednesday and Thursday – from 7.30am to noon and from 12.30 pm to 3pm and Saturday from 8am to noon and; • Goodna Nursery, corner of Queen and Church streets, Goodna – open from 8am to noon every Wednesday.

Rare art exhibition comes to Springfield region After local resident Vivien Kells stumbled across artworks painted by her great-aunt on ebay, she embarked on a journey to gather and preserve the beautiful artworks, with over 30 prints set to be on display this month at Greater Springfield Art Gallery.

Vivien grew up in a house filled with the paintings of her great aunt, Margaret Clark, and is now seeking to raise the profile of the creator of these iconic Australian works of art.

Margaret Clark, who was born in 1901 and passed away just months before her 100th birthday, spent many years as a relatively unknown artist with this exhibition being the first since 1986 and the first to be held in Brisbane.

Born in New South Wales, Margaret Clark was commissioned at the age of 17 to produce illustrations for a confectionery manufacturers and after a brief term at Julian Ashton School of Art, her illustrations, short stories and poetry were published in the children’s magazine, Young Australia and the debut edition of Steel Rudd magazine.

Up until 1929, Margaret was prolific in her work, with Vivien and other family members unsure just how many pieces were created due to Margaret’s tendency to paint one-off, commissioned pieces, which, sadly, were not documented.

Marriage and children caused an almost complete stop to her painting as she devoted her time and energy to her family.

Vivien is determined to collect as many of the painting as funds and practicalities allow to preserve and restore the works for future generations, even penning a children’s book, The Magic Balloon, inspired by a painting purchased at auction in 2010, and featuring the artwork of Margaret Clark.

The exhibition will run until October 22, with the Gallery, located at above AJ Picture Framers at 9/21 Technology Drive, Augustine Heights, open from 10am-4.30pm each day.

Vivien will be onsite for book signing of The Magic Balloon on Saturday October 17 from 11am - 2pm. A 2016 collector’s calendar as well as greeting and Christmas cards will also be available to purchase. All proceeds go towards locating and funding restoration of the artworks to preserve the legacy of Margaret Clark. Children are welcome to come dressed in fairy costumes.

If you’d like to view more artworks online, you can find Federation Fairies on facebook or visit the website www.federationfairies.com.au.

Ipswich Libraries will focus on family and friends throughout October during regular story time sessions.

Each story time session will feature a variety of stories, rhymes and songs to encourage children to develop important early literacy skills.

Story time sessions for children aged under six-years-old have been extremely popular with local families.

“Kids love stories and get so much out of being exposed to songs, rhymes and books from an early age,” Ipswich City Council Tourism and Libraries Committee Chairperson Cr Pahlke said.

“Reading to children is great for their vocabulary development, imagination and creativity and helps them to develop a love for reading that can become a lifelong habit.

“Story time is always great fun at the local library but there are many other long term benefits for children and families.

“For children they are introduced to new words, rhymes, language patterns and social interactions that help build their social and emotional skills as well as language and literacy skills.

“For the adults, story time at the library is something that everyone can be involved in with mums, dads and grandparents all welcome to join in.

“It is a great activity to share with the whole family and a great way to meet and socialise with other parents.”

The story time sessions are offered every month at all of the city’s three libraries as well as Orion Springfield Central and are all free.

The October sessions include: • Ipswich Central Library, 40 South St, Ipswich – from 10.30am to 11.15am on October 15; • Redbank Plains Library, 1 Moreton Avenue, Redbank Plains – from 10.30am to 11.15am on October 21; • Ipswich Central Library, 40 South St, Ipswich – from 10.30am to 11.15am on October 22; • Orion Springfield Centre – from 10.30am to 11.15am on October 28; and, • Ipswich Central Library, 40 South St, Ipswich – from 10.30am to 11.15am on October 29.

Special storytelling sessions are also available for playgroups and other groups by making an enquiry to Ipswich Libraries on 3810 6815.

Cervical (neck) disc disease is caused by an intervertebral disc pressing on the spinal cord, causing pressure and pain. Intervertebral discs are located between the bones of the spine. When disc herniation occurs, the interior either protrudes (bulges) or extrudes (ruptures) into the vertebral canal, where the spinal cord resides. The onset of herniation can be either acute or chronic and though normally caused by disc degeneration in older genetically prone pets like dachshunds, can be caused by trauma.

When the spinal cord is compressed by cervical disc material, the dog or cat can experience signs ranging from mild to severe neck pain to complete paralysis of all four legs and with no pain perception.

Usually, the neck signs appear suddenly. The neck muscles may tense up or shake, the back may arch, and movement of the neck and head becomes difficult due to the pain. Sometimes nerve control of urinary and bowel functions will be affected.

An acute onset is an absolute emergency, and the pet should be seen immediately by a veterinarian. Diagnosis is confirmed after examination by various imaging techniques the simplest being a plain radiograph.

Treatment options depend on how severe the problem is. If the situation is mild, it may be treated with just medication, typically anti-inflammatories, painkillers and complete rest. If the problem resolves on therapy, but recurs when treatment is finished, surgery may be required.

More serious cases may require surgery urgently to take pressure off the spinal chord. Surgery is not an instant cure to the damage that can occur and it can take time for the spinal cord to heal.

Strict cage rest is necessary for either medical or surgical management. Your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prognosis depends, of course, on their particular case. Generally speaking, if they could walk at all before surgery, their post-surgical prognosis is excellent. If they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk, but still had some deep pain sensation, the post-surgical prognosis is good to excellent. If they lost deep pain sensation completely, the prognosis is guarded.

Carols @ Robelle Domain – Saturday 12th December The Orion Springfield Central Carols @ Robelle Domain presented by the Greater Springfield Combined Churches is planned for Saturday 12th December. Tim McCallum from The Voice will feature at our community carols along with other local talented artists on Saturday 12th December with a bad weather backup date of Saturday 19th December.

The event will begin at 5.30 with entertainment and food available for purchase before the start of the official program at 6.15pm Orion Lagoon The Orion Lagoon has been an outstanding success so far and summer is still on its way. Some information that answers questions I get asked includes: • The Lagoon was delivered and is owned by Ipswich City Council • Mirvac pay council an annual fee for the naming rights Orion Lagoon. This income offsets Council’s annual operating costs.

• Australian Crawl operates the Kiosk and is responsible for the employment of the lifeguards and the overall hygiene of the Lagoon.

• Summer season is the beginning of September to the end of March in which lifeguards are on duty from 5am to 9pm. Security personnel are patrolling outside these hours and Council has 30 cameras linked to Safe City.

• Council will still maintain the landscaping.

Supervision at the Lagoon We all want the Orion Lagoon to be a place where happy memories are made. Although lifeguards are on duty, it is up to parents to ensure that any children 12 years or younger are supervised by a person who is 18 years or older. Please do not treat the lifeguards as child-minders.

More exciting openings before Christmas Openings still planned before Christmas 2015 include Event Cinemas, Mater Private Hospital and major parts of Orion Stage 2.

Library @ Springfield Central Council is currently planning a library to be constructed in Springfield Central opposite the Orion Lagoon. The Library will no doubt be a wonderful facility for our community.

Designs are still being finalised so no contracts have been awarded. I would say by the end of 2017, a library could be a reality in Springfield Central. Council’s mobile library visits Orion Springfield Central every Thursday and Camira Springfield Community Centre every second Wednesday both between 2pm and 7pm.

Recycling Bin (Yellow Lid) Please remember that plastic shopping bags are not recyclable. If old plastic bags, even if filled with 100% recyclable materials, are placed in the recycle bin Councils recycle contractor will deem the whole bag contaminated. Please empty plastic bags of any recyclable materials and place plastic bags in normal waste, not recycle waste.

Download the free Ipswich Bin App to find out when your rubbish bin gets collected and if it’s your recycling or green waste week. The App also provides information on what rubbish can be placed in each bin and has information on Councils Recycling and Refuse Centres. www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/ipswichbinapp Remember - Do not choose to be wrong for the sake of being different.

a look back at Greater Springfield with Cr David Morrison

Local Hardware Stores It wasn’t that long ago that there wasn’t a hardware store in Springfield Central. In 2011, I recall looking over the site in Springfield Central where one of the first Masters Stores in Queensland was to be constructed.

Now Springfield Central is Hardware Central with almost 30,000m2 of hardware undercover between Masters and Bunnings. People often ask me what I think about the two Australian hardware giants building next to each other. My reply is that customers will be the overall winner as both of them compete for your patronage.

Springfield Central is certainly becoming a hub of activity with Orion Springfield Central, Orion Lagoon, Masters, Bunnings, GE Building and now Park Avenue Apartments beginning.

:WYPUNÄLSK )YHUJO update by Allen O’Toole, President Hello once again from National Seniors Australia Springfield Branch. Our meetings at the Springfield Tavern are going very well.

At our last meeting we had representatives from some of our local businesses informing us what their businesses can offer.

First we had Dr Michael Charlton from Orion Chiropratic and Massage discussing the benefits of Chiropratic care especially in senior citizens.

Our next guests were Tina and Martika from Priceline Pharmacy giving us information on all the various things that Priceline can do for us, from packaging pills in daily doses, vitamins and supplements, general advice on health care, and even certain types of injections.

Next up was Peter McMahon from the Swim Factory. Peter gave a very informative talk on how the Swim Factory came about and what he provides in the way of swimming lessons for children and aqua-aerobics for anybody. Peter also gave us an insight into his early days in Ipswich with the family soft drink business. Finally, we had Judy O’Toole from TS14+ womans clothing store in Orion Shopping Centre presenting their latest catalogue. A very informative evening was had by all. By supporting local businesses we can all help each other.

Our next meeting is on October 21st at Springfield Tavern.

We are going to have a members show and tell where you can bring along any hobbies or other interests and give a brief talk about it. For more information contact Allen on 0400 525 803 or Judy on 3818 7447 or send an email to nsaspringfieldbranch@ gmail.com.

Spring Clean for Red Cross

The recent burst of warm spring weather has dramatically reduced summer clothing stocks in Red Cross shops.

“We are desperate for summer stock,” said Red Cross Shops Marketing Manager, Kate Dear. “The biggest need right now is for ladies summer clothing, particularly dresses but anything light and in good condition will be greatly appreciated. Those unwanted or pre-loved goods filling your cupboards might be put to better use at a Red Cross shop.”

Sort your clothing into three piles 1. Keep 2. Alter/Repair 3. Donate “Don’t be shy, it‘s simple to donate,” said Kate, “Just walk in and hand your items across the counter, or place them in the ‘Donate Now’ box at the entrance to each store.”

Every item purchased at a Red Cross Shop also helps support the everyday work of Red Cross. Last year Red Cross assisted more than 56,000 people affected by disasters and served over 800,000 meals to school children who might otherwise have gone to school hungry.

If you regularly donate clothing, or shop at a Red Cross Shop you can now get 25% off future purchases with a Red Cross Shop Loyalty Card. Just ask for a card at your local Red Cross Shop when you shop or donate, and start saving today.

The nearest local for residents is 32 Downs Street, North Ipswich. The shop is open from Monday-Friday 9am-4.30pm and Saturday 9am-noon and can be contacted by phoning 3202 3176.
