St Ursula's College Newsletter 2025 Term 4, Week 4

From our Principal

There was certainly much to celebrate as we enjoyed our 2025 St Ursula’s Week. Once again, events across the week were organized by our girls, for our girls and about our girls. I extend my thanks to Mrs Gibson, Grace Thomas and all members of the Student Representative Committee who took charge of the five-day program.

Celebrating St Ursula's Week at the College is a cherished tradition that honours the legacy of St Ursula, the patron saint of our school. It’s a time when the entire community comes together to reflect on the impact of her courage, leadership, and compassion. The week was filled with vibrant activities—liturgies, service projects, creative performances, and moments of gratitude. It is more than just a celebration, it’s a reaffirmation of the College’s spirit and mission, reminding everyone of the strength found in unity and the importance of making a positive impact in the world, starting right here at home.

Enjoy the collage of photos that show a small glimpse into the joy across the week. Of course, this all culminated in a wonderful celebration of St Ursula’s Day on Friday.

At the end of the week, the College invited back Past staff to join with our Present staff, to celebrate our Ursuline Connection. What a special time for so many of us, and it reinforces the impact our College has on everyone, students, staff and parents, alike.

Vale Irene Batzloff (Past Staff 1969 to 1995)

As we celebrate all that is means to be part of our community, we join with Mrs Sandra Searston and her family who mourn the passing of her mum, Irene Batzloff. Of course, Irene was a well-loved colleague for those of us who worked at the College in the early 1990’s, giving 26 years of service to the College

As part of St Ursula’s Day, we also acknowledge staff who have given service to the College for a milestone number of years. In particular we acknowledged and thanked the following:

Andrea Bloodstone (5 Years), Annette Hutchison (5 Years), Beth Toleman Glasse (5 Years), Venesa Maiden (10 Years), Siobhan McIvor (10 Years), Daniel Ryan (10 Years), (10 Years ), Patricia Backman (15 Years), Linda Hills (15 Years), Kerri Lange (20 Years), and Sandra Seartson (35 Years).

We are so pleased to announce the safe arrival of two new additions to our St Ursula’s College family.

Mr Mitch Cooling and his wife welcomed baby Alexander Cooling on Monday 13 October.

Mr James Darlington and his wife welcomed baby Posey Maria Darlington on Thursday 16 October.

We welcome baby Alexander and Posey, and wish their families all the best over the coming weeks as they settle in.

We wish our Year 12 students all the best as they tackle their External Exams. It is a busy time over the next three and a half weeks for them and their families, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Have a wonderful fortnight ahead.

Together, we strive.

This week marks the start of external exams and a series of 'lasts' for our Year 12 students. With only two months until Christmas, the challenge for all students is to stay focused and motivated. It also signals the approach of year-end celebrations and the recognition of achievements in academics, sports, music, and culture for all our students.

Last week, our community gathered to celebrate and reflect on the courage and determination of Angela Merici and St Ursula. Their commitment to seeking truth and navigating life’s challenges to create a better world, particularly for women, remains a source of inspiration. We encourage our students, whether in Year 12 or Year 7, to carry these qualities with them as they approach their exams and assessments in the final stages of the year. How we finish is just as important as how we begin—so let’s finish strong. Today I will share one study technique that your daughters may like to try in helping them finish strong. It is called the Promodoro technique. (Developed by Francecso Cirillo, an Italian software engineer)

The Pomodoro technique is a set time for staying on tasks, followed by a quick break. Traditionally, the ratio works like this: 25 minutes on task, followed by a 5-minute break. It is said to improve focus and minimise distractions as long as the 5-minute break is not to engage in social media.

Supporting Mental Health 

October marks Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to reflect, raise awareness, and strengthen our collective commitment to the emotional wellbeing of our young people. At St Ursula’s College, we believe that mental health education is not just a curriculum item—it’s a cornerstone of holistic development and pastoral care. 

Through our Health and Physical Education (HPE) and dedicated Wellbeing classes, we are equipping our students with the knowledge, language, and tools to understand and manage their mental health. These programs are designed to foster resilience, self-awareness, and compassion—qualities that empower our girls to thrive both in and beyond the classroom. 

In Wellbeing classes, students explore the topic of anxiety—what it is, how it manifests in the body, and why it’s a normal part of the human experience. Using age-appropriate resources and interactive activities, students learn to identify the physical signs of anxiety such as increased heart rate, muscle tension, and racing thoughts. More importantly, they are taught that these responses are part of the body’s natural stress system—not something to fear, but something to understand. 

Strategies for Self-Regulation and Support 

Students are guided through practical strategies to manage anxious feelings, including: 

• Mindful breathing and grounding techniques 

• Positive self-talk and reframing negative thoughts 

• Creating personal coping plans 

• Knowing when and how to seek help—from peers, teachers, or trusted adults 

• Self-care strategies, exercising and being surrounded by nature. 

Building a Culture of Care 

Mental Health Month is also a time to celebrate the caring culture we nurture at St Ursula’s College. From peer support initiatives to pastoral check-ins, our community is built on the value of respect. We encourage open conversations about mental health and remind our students that asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness. 

As parents and caregivers, your role in this journey is vital. We invite you to continue these conversations at home, ask your daughters what they’re learning, and remind them that they are never alone. 

Together, we can raise a generation of young women who are not only academically capable but emotionally courageous.

Celebrating Culture, Achievement and Community: First Nations Year 12 Graduation Mass

Toowoomba Catholic Schools proudly celebrated the graduation of its 2025 Year 12 First Nations students with a heartfelt Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral on Monday 13 October.

Among the graduates were Paige McKellar and Ella Auld, who joined 30 fellow students representing their schools. The celebration was enriched by the presence of proud parents, grandparents, Elders, and community members, creating a powerful atmosphere of unity, culture, and achievement.

Unfortunately, Jorga Britton and Darcie Gillis were unable to join us for this occasion. 

The St Ursula's College Choir sung beautiful during the mass, and Leah Randall offered the final blessing on behalf of the younger students who will follow in the graduates’ footsteps.

A highlight of the event was the presentation of the prestigious First Nations Year 12 Community Award, which recognises:

· Cultural leadership

· Service to the school community

· Commitment to learning

· Consistent attendance

Paige McKellar was one of four recipients to receive this honour. Her dedication, spirit, and leadership were celebrated as an inspiration to others.

Reflecting on the day, Paige shared, “Graduating Year 12 is not just about finishing school; it’s about honouring our culture and the support of our families and community. This achievement is a step towards a brighter future for all of us.”

Congratulations to all our First Nations graduates—your journey is a beacon of hope and pride for our entire community.

Football Coaching  

Former German football defender Petra Hauser, who played in the Frauen-Bundesliga for FCR 2001 Duisburg, has been sharing her expertise with young players at the Inverell Joeys Mini World Cup - held during the last week of the school holidays in early October.

Since retiring, Petra has taken on coaching roles in women’s and youth football, including assistant coach at SV Straelen. She’s now helping inspire the next generation, with standout players and coaches from the carnival selected for a tour of Germany.

Petra also ran a special coaching clinic at Glennie on Monday, and some of our Ursie girls were lucky enough to attend.

The Inverell Joeys Mini World Cup has been running since 2010 and continues to be a launchpad for young football talent! How lucky were our girls to have this exposure and opportunity with such a well-regarded coach!

Work Experience: St Andrew’s Hospital 

Last week, Dalzin Ameen, Lauren Parker and Banazir Ameen completed their Work Experience at St Andrew’s Hospital - a truly exceptional opportunity given how rare and competitive hospital placements are for high school students. 

Throughout the week, the girls rotated through various departments, gaining valuable insights and hands-on exposure to different aspects of hospital life (with theatre emerging as the clear favourite!). Each of them stood out for their energy, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn. They made a lasting impression on the staff and embraced every moment of the experience. 

We’re incredibly proud of how they represented themselves and our school - they truly thrived. 

Tour to Australian Catholic University (ACU) 

Earlier this term, some of our Year 10 and 11 students visited the Australian Catholic University (ACU) alongside students from St Saviour’s College. The girls learnt about the wide range of courses on offer and the various entry pathways available. The students also rolled up their sleeves for workshops in Occupational Therapy and Nursing – a fantastic opportunity to experience these careers in action! 

University and Industry Tours 

In Week 10 last term, our Year 11 students had the opportunity to explore pathways beyond school. 

Students considering a university pathway attended Brisbane university tours, with morning tea at the University of Queensland’s Emmanuel and Women’s Colleges. We then toured the beautiful UQ campus, and finished the day with lunch and a tour of Queensland University of Technology (QUT)’s Gardens Point campus. It was a valuable day filled with discovery and excitement for the future! 

In addition to the Brisbane University Tours, a group of students chose to participate in a local Industry Tour, exploring a range of businesses within the CBD. This experience was designed to provide students with meaningful insights into the inner workings of various organisations and the skills and attributes needed to thrive in each sector. 

The tour included visits to Westpac Bank, Bergen, Quest, Toowoomba Regional Council, Aspire Financial Consulting, McNab, Realway, and Right at Home Darling Downs - offering a diverse snapshot of career pathways and workplace environments.

RACQ Driver Ed Program

Dear Families,

RACQ are developing a new education program specifically for adults to equip them with practical and tangible strategies to help support young novice drivers – whether they’re learners, provisional licence holders or even passengers.

To make sure this program is genuinely useful, RACQ’s Education Team would love to hear from you.

If you’ve ever mentored, or are currently supervising a young driver, or spent time in the passenger seat offering guidance (or silently pressing your foot on your imaginary brake), we would encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the short survey and share what you wish you’d known.

Your insights will help build a resource that truly supports supervisors and mentors, and ultimately, safer roads for everyone. At the end of the survey there is also an option to enter the prize draw for the chance to win one of five $100 egift-cards.
