Last week we were informed that the Anglican Schools Commission have approved our Strategic Plan 2025-2029. You can read the Strategic Plan online for further information, but our four main areas of focus are:

• Learning
• Community
• Environment
• Performance

In this edition of the newsletter, I’d like to focus on learning, and the connection to one of our four values – wisdom. When we look at our values across the College they do line up well with our four focus areas from the Strategic Plan, with wisdom a long-term outcome aligned to our learning across the P-12 environment and beyond.

For our Year 12 students, Term 4 is a pivotal time filled with final classes, exams, and important celebrations as they approach the culmination of their schooling journey.

This term will be all about focus and perseverance in relation to learning before the celebrations. Parents, your support during this time is invaluable — encouraging balance and wellbeing is just as important as supporting study efforts.

Study Tips for Students

• Create a Study Schedule: Break down your revision into manageable chunks and set clear goals each day.
• Stay Active and Rested: Regular breaks and physical activity help keep your mind sharp.
• Ask for Help and Feedback: Don’t hesitate to reach out to teachers or peers if you’re stuck or need clarification.
• Stay Positive: A positive mindset can improve focus and reduce anxiety.

Advice for Parents

• Provide a Quiet Study Space: A comfortable, distraction-free area helps your child focus.
• Encourage Routine: Regular sleep and healthy meals support energy and concentration.
• Be Supportive: Celebrate progress, not just results, and encourage self-care.
• Communicate: Keep in touch with teachers if you have concerns or questions.
• Model Calmness: Your calm and positive attitude can help ease exam stress at home.

While these tips may be particularly helpful for our Year 12 students entering external exams, they are relevant across all year levels as we continue to look at ways to support learning and development for all of our students.

As we move through this term, there will be many important events including exam periods, year-end celebrations, and special recognitions for each of our sub-schools and student engagements. We look forward to sharing these moments with you all and know that the celebration events are always enhanced by a strong finish from a learning and development perspective too.

Size doesn’t matter where faith is concerned. Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. Throughout my lifetime I’ve heard many people describe their own faith or the faith of others as being ‘great’. Someone might say they have great faith, or strong faith. On the flip side they might say they have little or weak faith. But Jesus says that faith is faith. What matters isn’t its size or strength, but who or what we put our faith in.

These days there are many things that people can put their faith and trust in. It could be money, fame, success, other humans, or themselves, but ultimately those things will let you down at some point, because stock markets crash, businesses become unviable, trends change, and the fragility of human life is a reality. I am no different, and, I too have put my faith in ‘things’ that have led to disappointment (mostly with myself) in the end. 

The one constant in my life has been God and every time I have found myself in a state of disappointment, God is always there to help me pick up the pieces. In those moments I can literally picture Jesus, shaking his head at me, perhaps even rolling his eyes and saying, “You know how you got here.” Or maybe that’s just my own inner voice.

The thing is, we all make mistakes. That’s part of what makes us human, and when I reflect on the times when I’ve needed God’s unconditional love the most, I find that sometimes I’ve ended up there because I have felt safe enough to try new things and to challenge myself. The reason I felt this sense of safety is because I know that God has my back and will always be there to help me pick myself up and start again. 

It’s okay to hope for money, fame, and success, but where it becomes problematic is when we place our faith in those things, trusting that they will make us happier, better, people. And it’s okay to have money, fame, and success, but it’s how we use them (if we get them) that matters more than having them in the first place.

The happiest people I know are not wealthy or famous. They are those who have faith in God, and adding an adjective doesn’t make any difference. Faith is faith. It’s what we put our faith in that’s important.

Fidgets as Learning Tools - Supporting Focus Through Sensory Strategies

In our Junior School classrooms, we are continually exploring ways to support student engagement, focus, and wellbeing. One increasingly popular tool is the use of fidgets—tactile objects designed to stimulate touch and help regulate energy and attention. Far from being toys, fidgets serve a purposeful role in learning environments. When used appropriately, they can:

• Enhance focus during extended seated tasks
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve classroom engagement
• Replace undesired behaviours with constructive alternatives

Guidelines for Effective Use

To ensure fidgets are beneficial and not disruptive, clear expectations have been established:

• Fidgets are tools, not toys, and should be used discreetly—in laps, under desks, or in pockets.
• They must be silent, non-bouncy, and small enough to fit in a hand or pocket.
• Fidgets are provided by families and remain in the classroom—they are not permitted on the playground.
• Use is timed and purposeful, such as during transitions or instruction tuning.

Teacher Discretion and Individualisation

Teachers play a key role in guiding fidget use. Not all fidgets suit every student, so trialling different types in consultation with the student is encouraged. Teachers also monitor effectiveness and adjust strategies based on student feedback. Fidgets are most effective when used at specific times. Incorporating short, structured fidget breaks can help students reset and refocus without over-reliance.

It’s important for all students to understand that fidgets are not universally required. Class discussions help foster empathy and respect for individual learning needs.

Together, we can create inclusive, focused, and supportive learning environments for every student.

2026 Class Requests

Junior School teachers will soon begin the thoughtful and thorough process of allocating students to classes for 2026. This is a task we approach with great care, ensuring each class is balanced both socially and academically to support the best possible learning environment for every child.

As part of this process, students complete a survey at school to nominate peers they consider to be ‘good learning friends.’ These nominations are carefully considered to help ensure students are placed with peers who positively support their learning and wellbeing.

If there is a specific factor you would like to be considered as part of this process, this may be emailed to kmullan@wmac.com.au by Friday 24 October. While these requests will be considered as part of the process, not all requests are able to be met.

We appreciate your understanding that class placement is a complex undertaking, involving many factors. While we do our utmost to accommodate individual needs, our overarching goal is to create cohesive, inclusive, and well-balanced classes for all.

Congratulations to Year 10 student Simone Puddle who was selected for the Creative Generation Excellence Awards in Visual Art's Artist in Residence program. This is a highly selective program run by Queensland's Department of Education and Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) with only 25 places available across the state. To apply, students had to be nominated by a teacher and submit an artwork in response to Ross Manning’s 2017 installation Spectra XIII. Simone's photographic piece, entitled Echo Chamber, was chosen as it demonstrated creative and critical thinking, effective communication of meaning and originality of response to the stimulus. Simone will attend a 3-day program full of art making activities, site-visits and artist/curator talks with the other 24 selected students at GOMA, led by professional artist Ross Manning. Manning is represented by galleries such as GOMA, Milani Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, the Institute of Modern Art and National Gallery Victoria. Congratulations Simone!

Echo Chamber, 2025

Digitally manipulated photograph 

Inspired by Manning’s disconnection of light and fragmented reflection, my work investigates the experience of being a stranger to oneself. Cold blue light embodies rigorous self-scrutiny, while a soft golden glow hints at the warmth of a hidden self-yearning to be seen. The mirror functions not as a reflection but as a barrier, emphasizing distance from self-recognition. Echoing Manning’s contrast of stark gallery walls and exposed wiring with warm light on timber floors, I guided viewers to encounter blue before yellow, using light to challenge perception and merge personal introspection with an immersive visual journey.

Why Mitch Brown’s Coming Out Matters for Our Students

The recent announcement from former AFL player Mitch Brown has made history. He is the first male AFL player, past or present, to publicly come out in the league’s 129‑year history. In his interview with The Daily Aus, Brown spoke of experiencing a “feeling of peace, but more importantly, comfort and confidence” since being open about his identity. He also described how, during his playing days, there was a culture marked by hyper‑masculinity, where homophobic remarks were common, and little room existed to explore or express one's true self in a safe way.

Across the AFL community, the response has been overwhelming support. Clubs, commentators, and fans have praised his courage. Organisations like the AFL Players’ Association, Pride Cup, and others have publicly acknowledged what a positive step this is for inclusion in sport.

Why Visibility and Inclusion Are Important for Mental Health

For mental health professionals across contexts, we see first‑hand how important visibility, role models, and inclusive environments are for youth wellbeing. Research shows that young people who identify as queer are at higher risk for anxiety, depression, self‑harm, and suicidal thoughts compared to their heterosexual, cisgender peers. Much of this added risk comes from stigma, discrimination, fear of being “outed”, or feeling they must hide parts of themselves (LGBTIQ+ Health Australia).

On the other hand, when students are in environments where they feel seen, supported, safe to express their identity, and where positive representation exists, there are measurable benefits: increased self‑esteem, fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression, greater school engagement, and better overall wellbeing. Inclusive policies, visible LGBTQ+ role models, and supportive peers and adults make a difference (Monash University).

What Do the Numbers Tell Us?

Recent statistics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics indicate that among young people aged 16‑24 around 9.5% identify as LGBTIQ+ (Australian Bureau of Statistics).

These numbers mean that in any school setting, there likely are quite a few students who are exploring or have come to understand themselves as queer, whether or not they feel comfortable sharing that.

All students benefit when school is a place where their identities are respected and affirmed.

Implications for Our School

Mitch Brown’s announcement is more than a landmark in sport; it offers students and staff an opportunity to reflect on what we can do here to foster greater inclusion:

• Supporting safe spaces in classrooms, sporting teams, and extra‑curricular groups for all students to be themselves without fear.
• Incorporating visible role models, stories, or discussions that include LGBTQ+ identities, so students know they are not alone.
• Training staff in inclusive practices, respectful language, and how to respond if a student is going through identity related distress.
• Encouraging open discussion about inclusion, respect, and empathy—so that cultural shifts become embedded in everyday school life.

In conclusion, Mitch Brown stepping forward provides a powerful example of authenticity and the positive ripple effects that visibility can have. For many students, seeing someone in public life say “this is who I am, and I belong” can reduce isolation, inspire confidence, and affirm that they too deserve to belong.

If any student ever wants to talk about identity, mental wellbeing, or feeling uncertain our school wellbeing teams are here. You are not alone.

Welcome back to Term 4! 

I am contactable Monday - Friday at jsheehan@wmac.com.au or by phone in 3813 4508.

Looking forward to another busy and fast paced term!

Week 2 has been a wonderful celebration of our students’ achievements in 2025. I have been very pleased to participate in the music departments celebration and Listen to the Music Concert, our Agricultural Show Teams end-of-year celebrations, the Debating and Public Speaking Awards ceremony and the WestMAC Dance Concert.

Over the September school break our students were very busy and enjoyed much success.

On the Year 12 New Zealand Ski tour, our students were frequently commended for their exemplary conduct and were outstanding ambassadors for our College.

21 students and three staff participated in the 2025 Japanese Language and Culture Tour. Students from Years 10-12 participating in a 14-day immersive language program in Osaka, Japan, where students lodged with Japanese families and attended Japanese school lessons at our sister school Shijonawate Gakuen. All students participated in all aspects of the tour program with enthusiasm with a focus on strengthening linguistic skills.

In the first week of the holidays eight students and two staff participated in the Australian Independent Debating and Public Speaking Championships at Moreton Bay Boys College. It is not an easy competition and is quite different in both the type and level of debate and public speaking. Engaging in high-level competition, challenge and the opportunity grow skills and confidence are reason the College continues to participate in AIDPSC.

The National Interschool Equestrian Championships were held in Sydney over the holidays from 25 – 28 September and Kayla Moore (Secondary Combined Training 80cm and Senior Preliminary Dressage), Willa Boersma (Secondary CT95 and Intermediate 1m Show Jumping), and Karina Reeve-Johnson (80cm Eventing and the Intermediate 95cm Eventing) were members of the Queensland team.

We congratulate Willa Boersma who is a national champion following win in the 100cm Intermediate Jumping on Sunset Safari.

At the Athletics Queensland – All Schools Athletics Championships the College Team of 11 athletes placed 15^th overall, an outstanding achievement in this competition!

We congratulate our athletes who have qualified for nationals Ruby Bohen (who set a new record in Javelin), Hayley Windolf, Tiana Parsons and Abbey Crocker.

On the last weekend of the holidays 11 of our musicians were selected to perform in the  Queensland and Australian Honours Ensemble Programs at the Queensland Conservatorium – Griffith University.

On the first day of Term 4, we received the results from the EKKA Student Made cheese competition. WestMAC was awarded as 2025 Student Made Cheese Champions! With the ‘Best Cheese of School’ award for the 2025 RNA. As part of their curriculum studies about Fermentation in Agriculture, the Year 10 Agricultural Science students (Aria, Ava, Deana-Rose and Charlotte) made Camembert cheese and entered the cheese for judging by 9 international cheese judges.

This week, our students continue to shine in a range of activities.

At the Emerging Schools Rugby 7s Competition, our U18 Boys and U14 Girls we named as tournament champions, and our U16 and U14 Boys teams were runners up.   

We congratulate all athletes selected to represent Met West at the Queensland School Sport – Athletics State Championships in Townsville.

We also wish our Opti-MINDS teams well for their presentations at the Opti-MINDS State Finals at the University of Queensland this weekend.

Congratulations to our students, supporters and staff on this wonderful set of achievements.

Heath Del Favero

Director of student Experiences

Three of our talented equestrians represented WestMAC and Queensland at the National Interschool Championships in Sydney over the holidays, with standout results across the board.

Willa Boersma was crowned National Champion in the 100cm Intermediate Jumping on Sunset Safari, an incredible achievement on the national stage. She also placed 13th in the Combined Training (CT95) on Springs Dark Knight.

Kayla Moore impressed with a 20th place finish in the Combined Training (CT80) on River Downs Bronson and 9th in the Senior Preliminary Dressage element.

Karina Reeve-Johnson demonstrated strong performances in Eventing, placing 30th in the 80cm on Tremaine Blue Sapphire and 22nd in the 95cm on Skywalker.

Congratulations to Willa, Kayla, and Karina for their dedication, composure, and success at the national level.

All-Schools Touch Football

Last week, WestMAC’s U13, U15, and U18 Girls teams travelled to Runaway Bay to compete in the Queensland All-Schools Touch Football Competition. With teams coming from across the state and beyond, All-Schools is recognised as the largest touch football carnival in the world, featuring over 450 teams in this year’s event.

This was by far our most successful year to date. The U13 Girls finished 2nd in their pool and progressed to the final 16. After scores were locked at full time, their knockout match went to drop-offs, with both WestMAC and Southport reduced to just three players each. Unfortunately, Southport managed to score the winning try to advance to the final eight, but it was a tremendous effort from our young team.

The U15 Girls finished 4th in their pool, securing four wins and two losses in a particularly competitive division. Meanwhile, the U18 Girls also reached the finals stage, placing 2nd in their pool with an impressive record of five wins and just one loss—that loss coming against the strong Cathedral College from Rockhampton. In the finals, WestMAC faced the top-seeded St Aidan’s team, who were chasing their fifth consecutive title. After taking an early 1–0 lead, WestMAC eventually went down 6–1 in a spirited performance against one of the best teams in the State.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated coaches—Mr Acton, Miss Plummer, Ms McLellan, Mrs van Deventer, Mrs Turner, and Mrs Paulette Oldham—for their passion, guidance, and commitment throughout the week.  

Congratulations to

• Scarlett Long, Year 12, for being selected in the Queensland 17-19 Years Hockey Team after a successful carnival representing Met West last term. Scarlett has been a key member of the Premiership winning Firsts for a several years and we will be sad to see her depart later in the year. Congratulations, Scarlett!
• Mason Cumming, Jake Horsnell and Nate Hillier (shadow) on being selected in the 13-14 Years Met West Cricket Team to contest the State Championships in Rockhampton later in the year. Our very own Mr Mitchell Thompson will coach this team and we wish them all the very best for the State Championships.
• Piper Thompson, Willa Sio and Emily Cobb from Junior School who participated in the U12 Basketball State Championships in the holidays. Piper and Willa's team placed 4^th in Division 1 (top four in the State!) and Emily's team won the gold medal in Division 4! Congratulations girls!
• Emme Sio and Abbey Wright from Middle School for their representation at the U14 Club Nationals in Willetton, Western Australia at the end of September. Both girls played brilliantly and should be proud of their efforts!

2025 WestMAC Dance Concert - Ipswich Civic Centre

To give you a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what goes into preparing for the concert, we caught up with our Dance Captains, Katy and Mackenzie to hear their thoughts on the creative process, the highlights of rehearsals so far, and what they are most excited for on the night.

1. What makes this year’s Dance Concert a performance the WestMAC community shouldn’t miss out on?

Mackenzie: Every routine is full of energy, passion, and talent! Dancers have taken their skills to the next level, delivering routines that have already become crowd favourites at competitions, promising an unforgettable evening of entertainment and celebration of West MAC’s dance program.

1. Which piece are you most excited for audiences to see, and why?

Mackenzie: The routine I am most excited to share with the audience is our Jazz routine ‘Abracadabra’. This routine contains high amounts of energy, technical jumps and turns and is just CAPTIVATING. It has placed extremely well at eisteddfods and every crowd has appeared to enjoy it as much as we enjoy performing it as a team.

3. What accomplishment or achievement are you most proud of this year?

Katy: I am most proud of coming first in Hip Hop at the Beenleigh Eisteddfod. Our dedication and improvement throughout the year really paid off against some incredibly tough competitors. It was also a special achievement as it’s one of the few times a Dance Company Hip Hop group has placed first at an eisteddfod.

4. What do you hope the audience will feel or take away after watching the concert?

Katy: I hope the audience has an amazing night and enjoys the incredible talent of the WestMAC dancers. Additionally, I hope they are proud of the hard work and passion every dancer and staff member has contributed to making the concert such a memorable and special event.

We look forward to seeing the WestMAC community come together to support our dancers in what is sure to be an unforgettable evening.
