A FOCUS ON building the personal capacity of each and every student has seen St Andrew’s AnglicanCollegeawardedSecondarySchoolofthe Year (non-government) at the Australian EducationAwardsonFriday9August.
The Australian Education Awards, now in their seventh year, recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the country’s top performingschools,principals,departmentheads andteachers.
St Andrew’s Principal, Chris Ivey, said the achievement reflected the College’s reputation as aleadingindependentco-educationalschoolfrom PreptoYear12ontheSunshineCoast,knownfor itsexcellenceandstrongcommunityspirit.
In 2023, the College’s strategic plan undertook a significant revamp, crafted with input from all stakeholders, and charts an ambitious course for the future, focusing on the building of staff and studentpersonalcapacity.
Harnessingtheshiftsintheeducationallandscape andneedsofthefutureworkforce,StAndrew’shas directeditsfocus,missionandvisiontoensureall studentscanachieveandreachtheirfullpotential and be successful in their chosen pathway and equippedtohandleaworldofchange
“Our College seeks to continually improve and be on the cutting edge of providing a future focused educationalexperience,”MrIveysaid.
“Our focus on building Personal Capacity is the central pillar and is the key to our strategic plan and point of difference for our school. This focus ensureseverypartofeachchild’seducational
journey is based around equipping them to be the best they can be, to find purpose and move confidentlyintotheirfutures.”
Key to this has been the development and implementation of a Personal Capacity Transcript (PCT), which captures and reports on the holistic growth of every student, that sits alongsideacademicreporting
This transcript features a learner statement, credits earned from 8 categories, showcased learning and achievements linked to a QR code and subjects studied that year. This is all designedtocaptureandarticulateabroadrange ofevidencedcapabilitiesandachievementsthat showcase the learner's broader involvement, strengthsandlearning. ContinuedonPG5
AllSecondarystudentsprovideevidenceandselfreflections on their involvement, learning and growth from activities inside and outside the College. Once the evidence for one of the credit outcomes is submitted, these are 'endorsed' by their Mentor Teacher through a coaching conversation. The result is a graph that gives a 360-degree view of the involvement and learning ofthestudent.
The PCT is a 'live' document that can be viewed andprintedoffatanytimebutwillbespecifically produced and sent home twice a year. It can be used for job applications, university entry portfolios and celebrating the learning that takes place due to each child’s unique gifts and passions.
“We are one of the first schools in the country to implementaself-evidencedandteacher-endorsed learnerprofile,andwebelieveitwillbethedriver forcelebratingthewholechildandtheirgrowthin personalcapacity,”MrIveysaid.
Nomination evidence for the award comprised the College’s academic achievements, diverse opportunities, the Personal Capacity Transcript tracking students’ holistic growth, and a dedication to lifelong learning via co-curricular and global service activities. Winning the SecondarySchooloftheYear Non-Government also made the College an excellence awardee in theAustralianSchooloftheYearCategory.
St Andrew’s has been a regular finalist in these highly prestigious awards, including twice winning 'Best Co-Curricular Program ' in 2019 and 2020 for its Global and Service-Learning Program Additionally,theCollegehasalsobeen awarded a ‘5-star innovative school’ every year since 2021, highlighting its desire to provide a future focussed educational experience for its students.

The standard applies to excavations or structures capable of being filled with water to a depth of 300mm & intended for swimming, wading, bathing and paddling, including spas and inflatable wading pools.MoreinformationisavailableonCouncil’s websiteorfromtheQBCC.

Every year, more than 3000 Sunshine Coast residents are diagnosed with cancer with over 1,000 people dying every year. Cancer Council Queensland and Wishlist have teamed up to expandessentialsupportcancerservicesforlocal cancer patients on the Sunshine Coast.

Cancer Council Queensland’s Wig and Turban service is now available at Wishlist’s accommodation facility - Wishlist Centre –opposite the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Theserviceoffersapersonalfittingwithatrained volunteer.Therearearangeofwigsandheadwear tochoosefrom,atnocost.
This means cancer patients across the Coast, including those undergoing treatment in hospital and regional patients staying at Wishlist Centre, can access the service without the stress and inconvenienceoftravelduringtreatment.
"We are excited to team up with Cancer Council Queensland to offer essential support services at our accommodation facility, Wishlist Centre, for local cancer patients. This collaboration extends our commitment to enhancing the wellbeing and qualityoflifeforthosefacingacancerdiagnosis,” saidWishlistCEO,LisaRowe.
“Wishlist Centre is a hive of activity for patients of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, plus accommodation guests and their families. The WigsandTurbansServiceisjustoneofthemany free or low-cost, holistic, and therapeutic supportservicesweofferattheCentre
"The Wigs and Turbans Service - available every MondayandTuesdayatWishlistCentre–offersa personalisedsupportforcancerpatientsdealing withhairloss.It’smorethanjustprovidingwigs and turbans, it’s about restoring confidence, individuality, and a sense of normalcy during a challengingtime
“Other services include sound immersion therapy, gentle yoga, havening, therapy dog visits, massage and reiki – all designed to uplift, comfort and support those going through a difficulthealthjourney,”saidMs.Rowe.
Each year, more than 32,000 Queenslanders are diagnosed with cancer, so most Cancer Council Queensland volunteers have a personal experience with cancer, either as a patient or carer. This means they can provide empathy, understanding,andvalidationtothosecurrently undergoingcancertreatment.
“Cancertreatmentisconfrontingenoughasitis, but when people lose their hair, they often feel they’ve lost their individuality. It makes a huge difference in helping someone regain their confidence,” said Deanna Romain, Cancer Council Queensland’s Senior Manager of Hub Operations.
