Answering the call to be courageous, confident and compassionate leaders

I was delighted to be invited to present at the Women in Leadership Conference last week alongside inspiring colleagues from other leading Queensland schools. Our Leader of Student Wellbeing – Year 12, Ms Margaret Devlin and Lara Rich, a key member of our Diverse Learning Team were attendees, and it was terrific to have their input and support.

A Sacred Heart Education calls us to see learning as a lifelong endeavour and I gained much personally and professionally from this experience. I am grateful for the ongoing advocacy of our Principal Mr Daniel Crump for supporting this opportunity.

Creating young women who are thinkers and leaders is central to our Stuartholme graduate vision and a Sacred Heart Education. Our vision is that a Stuartholme graduate is one who exhibits the courage, compassion and confidence to be an agent of transformation in their lives and the lives of others.

This requires the development of foundational skills in how to be collaborative, critical and creative thinkers and leaders who demonstrate resilience in the face of challenges.

Whilst much is written about leadership practices, I love the research undertaken by the Harvard Business Review (2022) and shared this along with my own experience in educational leadership at the conference. It shows that great female leaders are networkers and connectors who enact the following key attributes:

• They’re efficient and spend their time on the right things.
• They’re fluid in how they make connections.
• They collaborate across organisational silos.
• They know how to demonstrate both competence and warmth.

We don’t have to look much further than our own founder St Madeleine Sophie Barat for a role model who exhibits these attributes.

Saint Madeleine Sophie’s embodiment of warmth was witnessed in her experience of the depth of Christ’s compassion for all and this compelled her to share this truth with others. Her hope was to grasp fully the experience of being loved by God. She believed that drawing from this extraordinary experience of being loved, we can be the courageous, confident and compassionate people God counts on us to be.

Catholic Education Week

Last week, schools across Queensland marked Catholic Education Week. You might argue that every week is Catholic education week in a school like ours. Whilst that might be the case, it’s wonderful to stop and recognise the gift that Catholic Education is to our school and others in our community.

One of the activities to mark the occasion was our school assembly. What follows is the address that I shared with our staff and students focusing on the 2023 theme Communities of Faith, Hope & Love.

Communities of Faith, Hope & Love

As we gather to celebrate Catholic Education Week in Queensland, we pause to reflect on the 2023 theme – Communities of Faith, Hope & Love – and give thanks for the transformative power of these virtues and the way they are brought to life within our Sacred Heart community. Lets look at these virtues a little more closely.

Faith

In our Catholic context, faith is the cornerstone of our identity. It is a deep and unwavering trust in the presence of God in our lives, guiding us in moments of uncertainty and joy. The first of our Sacred Heart Goals of education calls us to a personal and active faith in God, which is also an invitation to open our hearts to experience God in our relationships and all of the created world that surrounds us. In doing so, we explore the depths of knowledge and wisdom during our educational journey. In the classroom, our friendships, and in our service to others, faith can be a guiding force that leads us towards seeking truth, cultivating compassion, and recognising the inherent dignity of every person we encounter.

Hope

Hope is the bright horizon that calls us forward. It is the belief that, no matter the challenges that arise, a future of possibilities and promise awaits us. As we face academic pursuits, personal goals, and even the uncertainties of the future, we are challenged to let hope inspire us to persevere with courage and confidence, as suggested by St Madeleine Sophie. Together, as a Sacred Heart community, we are to lift one another up and offer support, so that our hopes might flourish and be realised into fulfilled aspirations.

Love

As a Sacred Heart community, Love is our mission. Love is the heart of our school community. St Madeleine Sophie gifted us the mission to discover and make known the love of the heart of Jesus. This kind of love is the transformative force that binds us together in unity, compassion, and understanding. In our interactions with peers, teachers, and all members of our school community, we are called to practice the love described in our reading, and to do so in the spirit of Cor Unum through patience, kindness, celebrating one another’s achievements and offering support during moments of difficulty. The love of the heart of Jesus – his Sacred Heart – is a love that knows no boundaries or exclusions; it embraces each person for who they are, growing an atmosphere of acceptance and respect.

Faith, Hope & Love.

As we continue to grow in these virtues, let us embrace the responsibility of being ambassadors of faith, hope and love beyond the school walls; to be beacons of light in the world, living our Sacred Heart Goals through justice, mercy, and compassion wherever we go. In doing so, we bring to life the sentiments of St Madeleine Sophie, who encourages us to let “our example, even more than our words, be an eloquent lesson to the world”, bringing the love of the heart of Jesus to the world.

Happy Catholic Education Week!

Peace and blessings for the week ahead.

Newsletter Article: Term 3, Week 4 2023

The past few weeks have been filled with excitement with year 8 camp, year 7 retreat, co-curricular events and year 11 Leadership announcements. It has been a heart- warming time as we have had the pleasure of visiting Moree and Narrabri followed by Darwin, for the ICPA- Isolated Children’s Association Federal Conference. Being able to connect with past, present and prospective families is something we look forward to immensely and we are so incredibly grateful for the warm welcome, friendship and hospitality of our Boarding Community. It was an honour, as always, to attend the Federal ICPA conference and we are in awe of the incredible work this organisation does to support rural and remote students.

As you know, 2024 Student Leadership Positions were announced on Monday at the year 11 assembly. It was with great pride and excitement, I was given the honour of announcing our Boarding Leadership team. We are so proud of our Boarders and their willingness to take on leadership roles within the school community. These student leaders play a crucial role in fostering a positive and inclusive environment at Stuartholme. It’s through their dedication, passion and commitment they have exemplified the qualities that make great leaders.  One of the many beautiful parts of Stuartholme is the way we encourage and support our girls in their leadership journeys, providing them with opportunities to develop their skills and lead with confidence, knowing they have the support of our community. We are very proud of all our girls in the house who courageously put their hand up for official leadership positions. Together, we celebrate their achievements and look forward to seeing their continued growth and success as they move into their leadership positions later in the year.

As we head into week five, I want to wish you all a very happy week ahead.

Medical microrobots could be used to aid bladder disease

With AI and robotics taking centre-stage for research, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear that they are being used to treat diseases, but on a much smaller scale. These tiny robots, known as microrobots, have recently been developed by engineers at the University of Colorado, United States. These microrobots, about the length of a human hair, are made out of a material known as biocompatible polymers and produced through a method similar to 3D printing. The robots, attached with three tiny fins, contain a small bubble of trapped air. If exposed to vibrations from other machines such as an ultrasound, these bubbles vibrate more rapidly, giving the robot enough energy to propel through substances such as liquids with incredible speeds. These robots are now being trialled to deliver dexamethasone (a type of steroid medication) to bladders to treat bladder disease.

Interstitial cystitis, or painful bladder syndrome, causes severe pelvic pain and treating it can be an uncomfortable experience. Often caused by a range of factors including genetics, infection or inflammation, this disease affects millions of women every year.

However, a recent experiment has revealed that these microrobots were successfully able to treat the disease. The microrobots were able to transport high concentrations of dexamethasone into the bladders of lab mice, where they dispersed through the organs before sticking onto the bladder walls. Over the course of two days, these machines slowly released their dexamethasone. This could mean more of this treatment can be administered over a longer time span, increasing the likelihood of recovery.

There is still more research to be done to see if these microrobots can travel through real human bodies and ensure they are fully biodegradable; however, this provides researchers with a promising non-invasive way to treat such diseases.

Year 9 Economics and Business – Field trip to Eumundi Markets

On Wednesday 26^th July our Year 9 Economics and Business students participated in the inaugural field study of Eumundi Markets. This focused on the interdependence of participants in the local market, how businesses create and maintain a competitive advantage, influencing consumer behaviour and how businesses innovate and differentiate in a competitive market. Students will further explore these concepts by investigating marketing by local and First Nations businesses.

Our students represented themselves and our school brilliantly, engaging with stall holders and exploring marketing and entrepreneurial concepts in preparation for their marketing pitches later in the term. Congratulations to all Year 9 Economics and Business students on a fabulous day of inquiry, learning and engagement.

Some insights from our students included:

• It was really interesting talking to the stall owners who were very open and willing to share their knowledge.
• I really enjoyed being able to walk around the Eumundi markets with my friends and having so much independence in an ‘atmosphere of wise freedom’.
• It was interesting to see such a variety of small businesses at the markets – some have been selling there for 20 years.
• I liked walking around the markets with my friends and looking at the different stalls to see how this type of business operates.
• I liked the food, especially Kirra’s dim sum guy and the dumplings!

Finally, our 9 Economics and Business teacher’s insights:

• Ms Jennifer McGrath – “Any day where we can step away from the day-to-day and spend time outdoors with our classmates and peers builds relationships.  This was the perfect marketing excursion not just for the students but for the teachers and for Stuartholme – our young entrepreneurs were the perfect advertisement for our school.”
• Mrs Susi Hopkins – “Our year 9 excursion to the Eumundi markets was such a fun, outstanding experience that was filled with so many amazing opportunities to interact with real life small businesses in a new environment. Meeting the owners and exploring the range of products and services offered was so important to furthering our understanding of how local businesses operate and sell certain goods, including jewellery and clothing to their consumer markets.”

Year 12 Business: Emily Brooks – National People and Culture Manager at BESIX Watpac

 In Week 4, Year 12 business students were fortunate to have Emily Brooks, Stuartholme alumna from the Class of 2004, as a guest speaker for our current topic on Change Management. It was a wonderful way to recognise the increase in diversity in the workforce, and the challenges of legislative compliance and change management, which aligns perfectly with our current topic and preparation for the external exam.

Emily currently works as the National People and Culture Manager at BESIX Watpac.  She told us about the main roles of human resources managers, and their involvement in change management, relating to our current unit on change management in the post-maturity stage of the business lifecycle. She also discussed performance management and key performance indicators (KPIs) with us, including the need for talent mapping and succession planning in our currently tight labour market.

Knowing it is a key area in our subject matter, Emily explained the need for risk management in HR, including changes in the management of risk, with inclusion of psychosocial hazards at work in the Code of Practice 2022 under Workplace Health and Safety. We discovered how workplaces have evolved in the past decade and how that relates to HR and change. Emily also explained the current push to recruit and upskill more females within the construction industry, with BESIX Watpac aiming to have females making up 25% of workers by 2025 and the Victorian government having quotes for female participation when tendering for projects.

Emily is a fabulous role model for our current students, and we are very grateful to her for her time and sharing her insights and experience as we prepare for our external assessment.

Last night was the opening night of the Senior Drama Production and Art Exhibition. Outstanding work was on display and a Drama Production of Antigone was brought to life by our drama students.

The Production and Art Exhibition will continue tonight with Senior Art students showcasing their artwork before the production begins at 7pm.

The Year 12 Drama students have transformed Sophocles’ classic text. The audience learns of Antigone’s twisted family tree that haunts her and her uncle, King Creon. As the King of Thebes, Creon is keen to remove any memories of Antigone’s forsaken father, Oedipus, and his family. Motivated by love, Antigone disobeys the King’s orders and secretly buries her brother Polyneices. Her honourable actions trigger tragedy that destroys all.

You can purchase your ticket here: Friday Senior Production and Art Show – Stuartholme School

Please note that the Drama Production has mature theme and is not appropriate for children under 15.
