Each year, I have the opportunity to attend a wide variety of school events. Whether academic, cocurricular, social, service or spiritual in nature, each event showcases a different glimpse of our vibrant community. However, it is at one relatively small event in Term 4 that I see a truly unique part of our broader community—our beloved pets!
Feathers, paws and claws made their way to the Prep School over the weekend. The Archbishop of Brisbane, the Most Reverend Jeremy Greaves, and his cattle dog Paddy accepted an invitation to be with the Prep School for this joyful gathering and service of thanksgiving. Somewhat of a star, Paddy featured in an early childhood video message from the Archbishop to Anglican schools in the Diocese earlier in the year. In his homily, Archbishop Jeremy spoke about the companionship that pets bring and their capacity to be an example to us of how to live in the moment. With close to 90 people in attendance, the morning was the ‘purr-fect’ opportunity for prayer, blessings and gratitude.
There’s nothing quite like the heartwarming feeling of returning home to a loyal companion. The unwavering affection from a pet extends beyond mere companionship. Studies have shown that having pets can reduce stress, enhance health, encourage physical activity and bolster the emotional and social development of children. Furthermore, our furry friends impart invaluable life lessons to our boys, such as responsibility, trust, compassion, respect and patience.
The School Council will shortly be appointing the CPAA executive committee for 2025, to consist of two representatives of parents from each of the Prep School, Years 7 to 9, Years 10 to 12, boarding and cocurricular support groups.
If you’re interested in serving the school and the parent body in this way, please make sure your nomination is received by the end of this week. You can apply by completing the document at this link and returning it to cpaa@churchie.com.au.
Our current chair, Angela Rae, would be happy to talk further if you would like more information—she can be contacted at agrae@burnettlane.com.au.

Prep School value of the week: creativity
Creativity is the power of imagination. It is discovering your own special talents. Dare to see things in new ways and find different ways to solve problems. With your creativity, you can bring something new into the world.
Attribute of the week: caring
When you are caring, you show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others. You have a personal commitment to service and act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and the environment.
A message from the Counsellor
Building gratitude for wellbeing
This term, the boys are focusing on gratitude as part of their social-emotional sessions during housemaster meetings. Gratitude is about recognising and appreciating the good things in our lives—whether they’re big or small. It encourages us to focus on what we have rather than what we lack and to acknowledge the kindness we receive from others.
Research shows that practising gratitude can boost mental wellbeing, helping children feel more positive, manage stress and build stronger relationships. When children learn to appreciate both everyday and meaningful moments, it can also foster resilience, making it easier for them to cope with challenges.
Here are a few ways parents might encourage gratitude at home:
Model gratitude in daily life: Children learn by watching their parents. Try sharing something you’re grateful for each day—even small things like good weather or a kind gesture. This normalises the habit of noticing the positives.
Create a family gratitude routine: Some families like to share what they are thankful for at the dinner table or before bedtime. It can be a simple, ‘What’s one thing that made you smile today?’
Encourage thank-you notes: Handwritten or digital notes of appreciation to teachers, family members or friends help kids reflect on the kindness they’ve experienced.
Acknowledge effort, not just results: Instead of focusing only on achievements, try praising effort and improvement. This reinforces the idea that hard work and progress are valuable and something to be grateful for.
Teach perspective: When children express frustration or disappointment, gently encourage them to also recognise the good things they have. This helps them balance emotions and develop gratitude alongside other feelings.
If you’d like more information on this topic, there are many helpful resources (articles, videos, podcasts, apps, research) on School TV—available through My Churchie. Please see some links below:
Last Friday, the annual Junior GPS Track and Field Championships were held at QSAC. Our athletes did a superb job, giving their all and competing hard in the blue and grey. The squad finished in a credible fourth place behind Nudgee and Brisbane Grammar, with Ipswich Grammar claiming the Junior GPS Championship. A special thank you to the track and field coaching staff—Mr Darwin, Mr Whitehead, Mr Harth and Mr Fry—for preparing the boys for the carnival. I was really proud of the boys’ efforts and sportsmanship shown on the day.
Fifty-nine of our Year 6 students recently participated in an educational tour of the national capital. Students were given the opportunity to take part in a variety of educational programmes with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.
The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their civics and citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion, the Australian Government contributes funding of $90 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate programme towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
Last week, our Year 4 boys embarked on an exciting camp experience at Emu Gully, where they were consistently challenged by various activities that pushed them into their ‘stretch zone’. Over the course of the camp, they faced personal fears, developed resilience and worked through failures with determination.
What started as a slow beginning soon transformed into a display of camaraderie as the boys embraced the motto ‘never leave a mate behind’. In moments of difficulty, the strength of their teamwork shone through as they learned to rely on each other’s strengths, encourage those who were struggling and celebrate their collective victories. This shared experience undoubtedly strengthened the bonds between them and highlighted the value of cooperation. While getting wet and muddy along the way, they not only supported each other but also discovered the importance of teamwork.

Prep Ensembles and Year 5 Immersion Concert
On Wednesday 9 October, our cocurricular music groups came together to perform for our Churchie community in the 2024 Prep Ensembles Concert. This year, the event was combined with Year 5 students who performed in the Immersion String Ensemble and Immersion Mega Band. Nine groups performed all together, with boys from Years 2 to 6 from string ensembles—Prep Strings, Prep Junior Strings, Year 5 Immersion Strings; to bands—Prep Band, Year 5 Immersion Band, Squeak, Year 4 Concert Band; and choirs—Prep Choir, Prep Junior Choir. A highlight was the combined efforts of the Prep Strings, Prep Choir and Prep Junior Choir to perform ‘Chopsticks’.
Thank you to our parents and friends who came out to support us in the thunderstorm and to everyone who helped behind the scenes to make the event a success. A big thank you to our wonderful Music team at Churchie, particularly to the ensemble directors and accompanists— Jeremy Williamson, Joanne Leask, Ingrid Rochet and Rosemary Oxenford. Concerts like these offer our young musicians authentic music-making settings to work towards and allow so many skills to be developed as they share their music with new audiences.
Congratulations to Year 4 student Marcus Lee, who recently performed at the Osaka International Music Competition. While Marcus didn’t place in the final round, it was an incredible opportunity for him to confidently perform on an international stage and learn from talented musicians around the world.
Please see a section of his performance here:
Reception music
Thank you to Harshini Sivaramakrishnan (mother of Jeevan, Year 3), who performed for the Reception boys in Week 2 upon the veena, and Shenay Sun, who performed on the Chinese harp (guzheng). The boys really enjoyed hearing new instruments and came up with some great questions and observations: ‘I notice…’ and ‘I wonder…’.
Our parent helpers were able to answer many of our questions and teach us about the special instruments and their role.
Reception students are inquiring into how music and the arts are important for people and communities. The boys are exploring a range of music from different cultures to describe their experiences, observations, ideas and feelings about the music they hear in the community.

Anglicare collection
On behalf of Anglicare Brisbane Children and Families (foster and kinship care agency), we extend our deepest appreciation to you for your continued support of our foster and kinship carer families at Christmas time. The children’s gifts provided by our community last year meant Anglicare was able to put smiles on the faces of our children at a time that can be so difficult for them, being away from their biological parents.
Anglicare’s team supports 85 children and young people in out-of-home care, aged between zero and 17 years, as well as the biological children in foster and kinship carer families who so generously share their homes with children in need. Over the Christmas period, this number increases, and their carer families are often unexpectedly opening their homes to more children in need. As a result of your support with donations of gifts, Anglicare can provide a number of beautiful and thoughtful presents to some of our community’s most vulnerable people, ensuring they can have a memorable Christmas.
Anglicare supports a fairly balanced mix of boys and girls aged from zero to 17. For children aged 13+, gift cards are well received, as they like to go shopping and choose something themselves. We just ask for any gift card donations to not include liquor services.
All donations can be delivered to Chaplain Stephanie’s office in the Prep Admin building.
Camps in Term 4
Year 5: Tyalgum Ridge Retreat from Monday 4 to Wednesday 6 November
Use of school crossing
Please note that before and after school, boys should only cross Oaklands Parade at the supervised crossing near Gate 1. As these are very busy traffic periods, a crossing supervisor is provided to ensure the safety of the boys and others using the crossing. When dropping off boys on the western side of Oaklands Parade in the morning, please insist that the boys use the supervised crossing.
Please note that there is no parking in front of the Health Centre and Churchie Shop on Oaklands Parade. Brisbane City Council has recently replaced the signs in front of this building and will be regularly monitoring this area.
Class placements 2025
As we move towards the end of the year, planning for 2025 is well underway. Class placements for 2025 will be communicated to our parent community at the end of this year in preparation for the commencement of the academic year. Our staff is in the initial stages of looking at class allocations, and we are undertaking a thorough process to ensure we continue to have the boys at the forefront of our decision making.
When allocating boys to classes, there are several factors we consider. One key priority is ensuring we have an even spread of academic ability levels across each of our classes, and another is ensuring that the social structure of classes is conducive to both learning and the building of friendships. This sometimes means we need to separate boys when a friendship becomes a distraction to their learning and enables boys to further their friendship circles. Other factors that help determine our class allocations are the social/emotional needs of our boys, student interests and, if applicable, personal and family backgrounds. As a school, we also need to consider our entry points and the impact this has on our class placements. The construction of class groupings is, therefore, a process we take very seriously and plan for carefully in collaboration with class teachers, specialist staff and the Preparatory School Executive team.
When creating class lists, the School will consider all information about a boy that may have been communicated to the teacher, Deputy Heads and Head of Prep School throughout the year. The School will then create balanced classes according to the educational and social information we have about each of our boys. We do value these ongoing conversations; however, class placements will remain the professional and operational responsibility of the School, and as such, we will not be accepting requests for specific teachers.
As you can appreciate, the consideration of all these factors makes class placement a time-consuming but important process. We feel positive that the extensive time and care we give to this process, together with the talented and committed team of staff into whose classes we are placing each boy, means we are able to produce the best possible class combinations to benefit each and every boy.
We know you appreciate the careful consideration that goes into these decisions and the competence and dedication of every member of our team involved in the process.
Bandanna Day Thursday 24 October
We will be selling bandannas in aid of the wonderful work conducted by Canteen, which supports young people living with cancer. Churchie Prep has been a great supporter of this charity for many years. Bandannas are available from the Prep Office for $7 each. Boys are only permitted to wear these bandannas on Thursday 24 October.

Senior School
Year 7 Experience Day and Orientation Morning
Last week, we were excited to welcome our 2025 Year 7 cohort and their families for two significant events. On Thursday, boys joined us for their Senior School Experience Day, where they had the opportunity to explore the campus with some Year 10s, connect with next year’s student leaders, and learn about what it means to be a member of the Senior School at Churchie. The excitement from this day carried over to Saturday when boys and their families took part in our annual orientation morning. Boys had the chance to hear from our 2025 School Captain, George Samios, before enjoying some games with their new house groups. Families also took the opportunity to start building connections with key members of the Year 7 staff team and other members of the Year 7 community. We are excited to welcome the new Year 7 team when they join us at the beginning of next year.
Earlier this term, Eshwar Thota Nagaraj and Ollie Burger (Year 11) participated in the SPARQ-ed (Students Performing Advanced Research Queensland – Education) programme at the Translational Research Institute. This week-long programme enables the students to work with world-renowned researchers and collect data to assist with ongoing studies. The students performed two assays for their project: an epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transferrin (Tfn) uptake assay, and also immunofluorescence staining. The students then presented their findings in a seminar at the end of the week and had an opportunity to apply for a bonus ATAR adjustment factor for entry into relevant courses at The University of Queensland.

Report by Eshwar Thota Nagaraj and Ollie Burger on their SPARQ-ed project:
Over the course of the week, our main objective was not only to gain valuable experience in the labs but also to learn how the experiments we were doing worked and how they could potentially save lives in the future. The experiments we conducted were focused on how a drug called prochlorperazine impacted a cell’s ability to consume molecules through the process of endocytosis. To investigate this, we tested how the cancer cells took in two different molecules, EGF and Tfn, when they weren’t given the drug, and tracked their progress through the cells. These molecules were digested easily into the cells, creating an almost starry pattern that can be seen in the image on the left below (Figure 1). At the same time, another group tested how the cells took in the molecules with the drug present, predicting that they would be stuck on the cell’s membranes. And it worked! As can be seen in the image on the right below (Figure 2), they developed an almost cobblestone pattern around the cell’s membranes. This is important because, with the EGF and its receptors on the outside of the cell, other treatments can more easily identify the cancer cells and potentially save more patients.
Figure 1Figure 2
We had the opportunity to work in a PC-2 lab, deal with real cancer cells, and connect with leading scientists in the field. We made strong friendships with like-minded people from across the state and gained a great understanding of the pivotal work being done here in our city. Ultimately, the whole week was a surreal experience that we highly recommend to every boy at school.

Music
Daniel Batchelor
As we continue to farewell the seniors, Daniel Batchelor (Band Captain) has penned some parting thoughts about his time at Churchie and his final year.
Written by Year 12 student Band Captain Daniel Batchelor.
‘Many long-lasting memories have been made in the music department this year across the bands. Personally, as Co-Captain of Bands, my most memorable moments of 2024 were during the culmination of months of hard work in the few minutes on stage for Jazz Under the Stars 2024 and Anzac Day. These memories, along with those formed with my peers during music camp and the 2023 Japan Music Tour, will stick in the minds of the blue and grey for years to come. My advice, as a member of BB1, Morris Wind Symphony and Twisted Metal, is to embrace the great joy that music brings. Immerse yourself, enjoy being on stage and get into the music—this energy is infectious to both the audience and your fellow boys in the blue and grey.’
James Aralar
In his final Headmaster’s Assembly, James Aralar took to the stage for his first solo performance at Churchie, reciting ‘Élégie’ by Gabriel Fauré. It was a melancholic and stirring performance, representing the emotions of the final days as a Year 12 student.
Please follow this link to a recording of James’ performance at Headmaster’s Assembly:
Music Camp
Over the weekend, 126 students from the premier ensembles—Morris Wind Symphony, Big Band 1, Viking Vocals, Senior Voices, Chamber Strings 1 and Churchie Symphony Orchestra—attended Music Camp. The weekend included recreational activities, social opportunities through Mr Kriesch’s world-famous trivia night, wonderful food, free time and outstanding opportunities to rehearse new music for the 2025 season.
The camp featured amazing guest conductors such as John Rotar (Choral), Mark Sullivan (Strings) and Sharelle Guest (Band), which has become a tradition and a focal point for learning new skills that can be transferred across the repertoire and other ensembles. The weekend ended with a concert for parents on Sunday and it was clear to see the potential already being reached in such a short time. Of particular note was the finale item, ‘Better Be Home Soon’ by Crowded House, led by Ms Oxenford and featuring all 126 boys on camp singing in full voice, with some parents and staff joining in. Singing together is one of the best examples of community and always creates an uplifting feeling when so many voices come together as one. It was an amazing way to finish a productive and fruitful weekend.
A big thank you to all the staff who graciously and tirelessly gave up their weekends to make these opportunities possible for the students: Ms Oxenford, Ms Black, Ms Leask, Mr Luostarinen, Mr Williamson, Mr Kriesch, Madame Washington, Ms Pearse, Ms Rochet, Ms Pincott and Mr Gante. What a wonderful start it has been to the 2025 season.

Sport
Our athletes hit the track last Friday, competing fiercely against top teams from all GPS schools in the Track and Field Championships. After giving their all in every event, we proudly secured sixth place in a highly competitive field.
Though the podium was just out of reach this time, the spirit, determination and teamwork our athletes displayed were nothing short of inspiring. With every race run, jump taken and throw made, they demonstrated what it means to represent the blue and grey with pride.
Track and Field
GPS Track and Field Championships
On Friday 18 October, Churchie competed in the GPS Track and Field Championships at QSAC.
The entire team performed exceptionally well, finishing sixth with 345.5 points. It is important to note that this is 16 points more than the team scored last year when we finished third.
