Our community is strengthened through its diversity. We create possibilities through being welcoming and inclusive in our words and actions. Through extending the hand of welcome, we build connection and a sense of belonging for ourselves and others. In doing so, we build a community of care where people feel seen. People flourish where they feel safe to be seen for who they are. Through being welcoming and interacting with care, compassion and courage, we send out fibres of connection that, in turn, encourage those around us to do the same. In doing so, we build a powerful web of connection.
God encourages us to be people who connect and care with compassion. Jesus modelled his care and compassion for those who society considered outcasts including the untouchable woman and the lepers. God’s grace and love are extended to all people, and we are all invited to be part of His family. Firmly connected by God, we are invited to extend that same love and grace to people we meet. With courage, compassion and care we build a community of care where we can all belong together.
Principal’s Log
OCEANfest 25 provided such a great opportunity to connect as we relaxed, had fun and engaged with the activities on offer. Staff, students, parents and sponsors were generous in the giving of their time, contributing to stalls and providing entertainment. Most importantly, there was a strong vibe of connection that celebrated and enhanced community and a sense of belonging for people within and beyond our Pacific community. Thank you for your generosity and support of this event. A particular thank you to OCEANfest Coordinator Mrs Louise Walker and Community Liaison and Communications Officer, Ms Samantha Barrass, our FOP team, Parent Connectors, Grounds team, Hospitality team, Music team, Finance team, parents, students and community groups who contributed to, prepared and manned stalls, supported entertainment and led activities. Thank you to Councillor, Mr Tim Burns who connected with many people as he manned his stall and donated trees to families and the College. Thank you to our sponsors including Educlean, Lakeside Orthopaedics, Blue Anchor Financial Services, Sharpline Interiors, Mr Jarrod Bleijie, SeaFM, Kangaroo Buslines, Chilli, Moffat Beach Breweries and the many Pacific families, businesses and individuals that donated prizes. Thank you for making OCEANfest a rich opportunity for community connection.
Development, engagement and use of AI is moving rapidly from both a personal and work related perspective. The ABC’s 7.30 Report on Wednesday 20th July, featured a report covering the opportunities and challenges being made available through connection with AI social companions. This short presentation provided some insight into the benefits and risks of connecting with AI social companions. Awareness of the length of time and where questions and conversations are stored and the nature of connection that children and adults are developing as they engage with AI social companions is an important conversation to have within families. For those who have missed reading last week’s Principal’s Log, which included information about Snapchat’s My AI that may automatically engage as young people use this platform, are encouraged to refer back to the article. I would encourage parents to watch the ABC’s 7.30 report to gain some insight into this rapidly moving space. As a College, within Personal Development lessons we outline benefits, risks and ethical and legal considerations in the use of AI from both a learning and personal perspective. Parents should be aware that there is some commentary regarding teens moving from connection with peers to increasing connection to chat bots and AI companions. Awareness of how members of your family are engaging in this space and discussion about preserving privacy of information and safety of connection is an important ongoing conversation for families to have. Together as College and families we continue to grow capacity and celebrate the importance of face to face connection as we also grow and engage in the digital space. The Lutheran Education Queensland Parent Webinar series hosted by Madonna King may also be of interest to parents.
The energy and excitement that our P-5 children shared on Monday as they dressed as their favourite character as part of Book Week was a wonderful celebration of the importance of books and reading in our lives. We thank parents for joining the adventure of celebration and assisting with the costume presentation and attendance at the parade. Thank you to our Head of Library, Ms Nell Keen and her team for their promotion of the love of books and reading.
We would like to extend our thanks to Mrs Brooke Elsum, Work Health and Safety Officer, for her commitment to keeping our Pacific community safe. Her vigilance and care have made a lasting impact on our workplace environment. As Brooke embarks on an exciting new chapter with Ramsay Health, we wish her every success and happiness in her new role.
We pray that God would enable, encourage and equip us all to be people who share the joy of connection and belonging.

So Much to Thank God For
Psalm 118: 1 & 28-29. “Tell the LORD how thankful you are, because he is kind and always merciful! … The LORD is my God! I will praise him and tell him how thankful I am. Tell the LORD how thankful you are, because he is kind and always merciful.”
Friday afternoon and evening was my first experience of an OCEANfest at Pacific Lutheran College and what a wonderful experience it was. It was such a pleasure to see the Pacific community come together and celebrate in such a joyful, exciting and vibrant manner at OCEANfest 25 One World. Everyone seemed to be having such fun and enjoyment from the magnificent balloon octopus to various carnival type rides, to the live entertainment, to stalls, prizes, and plenty of food and drink. It was so exciting to be amongst such an enthusiastic gathering.
From my vantage point in the Pastor’s office I had a clear view of the last-minute preparations that needed to be made as time got closer to the opening of OCEANfest 25. This reminded me of just how much preparation had to go into putting on such a massive event. Background preparations began months in advance, with OCEANfest coordinator, Mrs Louise Walker and Community Liaison and Communications Officer, Ms Samantha Barrass. Many other teams were also involved; Friends of Pacific, Parent Connectors, Grounds, Hospitality, Music, Finance, as well as many parents who contributed to the success by preparing and manning the many stalls and various community groups and sponsors. All this planning and support is needed to put on such a successful event that so many get the privilege of enjoying the celebration. We can tell the LORD how thankful we are for the effort and commitment of these people planning and preparing such an event for our enjoyment.
However, for me the most significant thing about OCEANfest 25 One World was the magnificent weather we had for the event. It’s interesting that no matter how well we prepare for an open-air event like OCEAN Fest, we cannot control the weather. So much about the success of an event like this depends on good weather. Throughout the couple of weeks prior to the event, I was feeling concerned about the weather. It looked like it could be both wet and windy. Not ideal for the planning of OCEANfest. Yet come Friday afternoon and evening, we had just ideal weather, and everyone could enjoy the event to the full.
Some might say this was just “good luck”, but I don’t really believe that. Rather I like to think of this as a gift to us all, from our loving and caring God. I for one had been praying over the lead-up to OCEANfest for good, suitable weather and I believe that we were blessed with just that. Psalm 118 encourages us to “tell the LORD how thankful we are, because he is kind and always merciful” to us. The Lord has been very kind and merciful to us with suitable weather and many willing contributors to our celebration of OCEANfest 25, and I want to publicly acknowledge and thank God for that kindness and mercy. This may seem like a very small thing; however, we are encouraged to always recognize God’s gifts and blessings with thankfulness and proclaim them to those around us. So, let’s be willing to tell the LORD how thankful we are for all that we enjoy and see them as coming from our loving God, because he is kind and always merciful.
Glory be to God who gives us so many good things.

Bonding to School: Belonging, Integrity, and Contribution in Year 6–12 Pastoral Care
This fortnight in Pastoral Care, students across Year 6–12 are exploring the thread of bonding to school. This theme invites students to think more deeply about what it means to feel connected to a community and to take pride in being part of something larger than themselves. School is not just a place to attend classes, it is a place to grow, discover new opportunities, and contribute in meaningful ways. When students invest in building positive connections with their peers and teachers, embrace opportunities to learn, and contribute to the life of the College, they strengthen our community while also developing a stronger sense of belonging and purpose in their own lives.
One focus during Year 6-12 PCG is the importance of identity and culture in shaping how students see themselves as part of our school. In groups, they reflect on the question, What makes our school unique? Their responses are encouraged to reflect celebration of the relationships, traditions, and shared values that create a sense of belonging at PLC. During Pastoral Care Group (PCG) lessons, they will also consider how we can continue to grow as a community, and recognise that every person plays a role in shaping the culture of our school. These conversations encourage students to take pride in being part of something bigger, while sparking ideas for how to make the school an even more welcoming and supportive place.
Another area of exploration during PCG this fortnight is integrity, and how we behave when no one else is watching. Students will have the opportunity to discuss the everyday choices that reveal their character: respecting shared spaces, showing kindness without being asked, and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right. These moments, while often small, are powerful because they show what kind of community we are building together. One of the activities during PCG is to encourage students to commit to one leadership action for the fortnight, a step they can take to quietly enhance our community. This highlights that leadership is not always about recognition; often it is about quiet acts of service and responsibility.
Students will also have opportunities during PCG to consider the idea of contribution and how taking practical action can have a real impact. In one activity, within small groups, they will be prompted to identify opportunities to make a difference in their PCG, class, or wider school community. Ideas range from assisting with assemblies, to setting up peer check-ins, to writing appreciation notes for staff who work hard behind the scenes. By following through on these contributions, the aim of this activity is for students to discover that giving back not only benefits others but also deepens their own sense of connection and accomplishment.
Bonding to school is about more than academics. It is about creating an environment where students feel they belong, where they are motivated to learn, and where they can see the impact of their contributions. When students feel this sense of connection, they are more likely to embrace challenges, support others, and thrive in their learning.
Families can play a vital role in strengthening this bond by continuing the conversation at home. Asking questions such as “What do you think makes our school community special?” or “What’s one small action you could take this week that would make a difference to someone else?” invites students to reflect more deeply on their experiences. Discussing how contributing to a community, whether at school or at home, creates a stronger sense of belonging that helps young people connect the lessons of Pastoral Care to everyday life.
By working together as a Pacific community of students, staff, and families, we nurture a culture where belonging, integrity, and contribution are lived out daily. In doing so, we support our young people to grow into confident, compassionate, and purposeful individuals who are prepared to flourish both within and beyond the school gates.

Being Seen to Belong
Recently I listened to a professional in the well-being space speak around belonging and being seen. She listed belonging as important as basic a right as food, clothing and shelter. Along with this it was highlighted that this concept of belonging can be a constant state of turmoil for some, not just our young people.
The little voices that sit in our head about what we are wearing, how we are acting, or are these my people? are continually looking for validation or denial. Sometimes we even fight the inner urge that even if we know we don’t want to belong, we continue to try.
But being seen is not being noticed for what you’ve done. Being seen speaks to us on a deeper level. It says to someone you matter. You are important just the way you are.
How do we make space for this in the sometimes turmoil of modern life? A busy life has many facets. Many are necessary, but surely a number are self-constructed. Even last week, I was walking around the college with a furrowed look on my face, obviously lost in my thoughts, oblivious to all. I was stopped by a colleague and beautifully reminded that “busyness blocks compassion”, a message I had shared with him in the past.
Taking micro moments to notice what is happening around us is intensely powerful. As parents we see our children’s faces light up when we attend a culminating learning event, a concert, or sit down and chat about continuous feedback on Seesaw. It says without saying, “You are enough, and you are seen.”
At Pacific, the sense of belonging is more than a feeling—it’s a reflection of our shared belief that every person is created in the image of God and is deeply loved. This foundational truth shapes a learning environment where students are not only welcomed but are also known and valued. We strive to cultivate belonging through relationships, rituals, and daily interactions that affirm each child’s place in the community.
When students feel they belong, they are more likely to engage confidently, grow in resilience, and contribute positively to the life of the College and others. Being settled and truly recognised for one’s unique gifts, story, and voice—is central to this experience. It’s about more than academic achievement; it’s about acknowledging the whole child and nurturing their spiritual, emotional, and social development. A staff member shared with me after parent conferences that the College was seen as “loving school” by her class parents. A failsafe way of explaining that I feel like I belong.
I would like to acknowledge the role that our staff, including our aides, play in this relationship. Every day I witness our staff go above for the students to create a sense of belonging and being seen. Words and actions support the students to understand that they aren’t just a number and that they are unique and valued.
Parents play a vital role in this journey. The Pacific partnership between home and school is grounded in mutual respect and shared purpose. When parents feel connected and seen—through open communication, inclusive events, and opportunities to contribute—they help reinforce the message that every child matters. Whether by words or actions, your children notice how you show up.
When we connect with grace and humility, we are establishing the bonds of relationship where all are seen and all can be heard. This presence and engagement send a powerful signal to students: “You are supported, you are loved, and you belong.” Together, staff and families create a community where grace, care, and collaboration flourish. In this way, belonging and being seen are not just ideals, they are lived experiences that shape the heart of our school.
Take care and God Bless.

Home learning: the first step on your career ladder.
As Term 3 unfolds, many students are managing a busy mix of lessons, home learning and assessments. At Pacific, we view home learning not simply as a set of tasks, but as a powerful opportunity for students to develop independence, resilience, and a lifelong approach to learning.
This year, we are embedding the Educate to Self-Regulate framework into our approach to study. Self-regulated learners do more than complete assignments; they learn how to manage their own learning. This involves the following essential stages of The Learning Space:
Planning – setting goals, choosing strategies, and organising study time.
Resources- using different tools to help with resource management.
Monitoring – actively checking progress and adjusting strategies when something isn’t working.
Evaluating – evaluating outcomes and identifying improvements for next time.
These processes draw on metacognition – the ability to “think about your thinking.” Students who practise metacognitive strategies are not only more effective in their current studies, but also more adaptable and successful in higher education and employment. In fact, a 2020 article in Educational Psychology Review reported that university students who deliberately planned, monitored, and reflected on their study achieved significantly higher outcomes than peers who relied on last-minute or unstructured approaches.
To help our students build these skills, we are encouraging the following evidence-based strategies at home and in class:
• Break complex assignments into manageable goals with clear checkpoints.
• Use a weekly planner to space out revision and avoid cramming.
• Ask reflective prompts during study: What do I understand well? What still feels unclear?
• Teach key concepts to a peer or family member to reinforce understanding.
• Conclude each study session with a short reflection: Which strategy worked best today, and what will I try differently next time?
Families can make a real difference by shifting the home learning conversation. Instead of asking “Have you finished your home learning?”, try asking “How are you approaching your study tonight?” or “What strategy helped you most last week?” These small shifts encourage students to take greater responsibility for their learning and to think critically about how they study.
By practising self-regulated learning through home learning now, our students are building the habits of mind that will carry them confidently into future study, training and employment.
Mrs Veronica Sanmarco, Head of Career Development
Food for Thought
Supporting Your Child Through the Stages of Schooling
Parenting is often described as one of life’s most rewarding journeys, but it is also one of the most complex. As children progress through the different stages of schooling, they face unique social, academic, and personal challenges. At the same time, parents are challenged to adapt their support to meet their child’s changing needs. Understanding what may be happening at each stage can help parents feel more confident and proactive in guiding their children toward healthy development.
Foundation College: Building Foundations
In the first years of school, children are learning the basics of reading, writing, and numeracy, while also developing important social skills such as sharing, turn-taking, and making friends. Some children may struggle with separation anxiety or adjusting to the structure of school life. Parents can support their child by establishing consistent routines at home, encouraging playdates to strengthen friendships, and celebrating effort rather than focusing solely on outcomes. Reading together daily and showing genuine interest in their child’s stories about school helps build both confidence and connection.
Junior College: Expanding Independence
By the later years of primary school, children begin seeking more independence while still needing strong parental guidance. They may face challenges with peer pressure, navigating friendship dynamics, or managing more complex schoolwork. Parents can help by teaching problem-solving strategies, encouraging participation in extracurricular activities, and maintaining open lines of communication. Asking open-ended questions like, “What was the best part of your day?” can invite children to share their experiences. Parents can also guide them in learning organisation and time management skills—critical tools as they prepare for secondary school.
Middle College: Identity and Academic Pressure
The adolescent years bring a new set of challenges. Young people may question rules, experiment with identity, and feel pressure to perform academically. Social belonging becomes a powerful influence, and issues such as self-esteem, online safety, and balancing screen time often surface. Parents can support by maintaining clear boundaries while allowing space for increasing independence. Showing trust in their teenager’s decision-making (while still being present as a guide) can strengthen the parent–child relationship. Encouraging a balance between study, rest, and physical activity is also vital. Importantly, parents should watch for signs of stress, anxiety, or withdrawal, and seek professional support if needed.
Senior College: Preparing for the Future
In Year 11 and 12, young people face significant decisions about their future pathways. They may experience stress around assessments, career choices, and balancing study with their social life and/or work commitments. Parents can help by being supportive listeners rather than problem-solvers, encouraging realistic goal setting, and reassuring their child that there are many pathways to success. Practical support—such as helping with study schedules, providing a quiet place to work, or encouraging healthy sleep and nutrition—can make a big difference.
The Common Thread: Connection
Across all stages, the most powerful support a parent can provide is a strong, secure connection. Children and young people who feel seen, heard, and valued at home are better equipped to navigate the challenges of school life. While the challenges may change as children grow, the need for parental presence, patience, and encouragement remains constant. By adapting your approach as your child progresses through school, you not only help them manage challenges but also give them the tools to thrive socially, academically, and personally.
Be kind to yourselves – you are doing an amazing job!
