from the senior leadership team
Welcome back to all families for Term 3.
Something I look forward to each term,
is the privilege to lead the first Whole
College Chapel. It provides me with the
opportunity to set the scene for the term
ahead and reemphasise what underpins who we are
at Cornerstone.
YEAR
TWELVE
FORMAL
In last week’s Chapel, I shared aspects of my
holidays and some passions I pursue when I have the
time; gardening, reading, golf and cryptic crosswords
being some examples. I also spoke about how when
doing crossword puzzles, you can discover new
and interesting words, with one such word being
mondegreen. A mondegreen is a word or phrase
resulting from a misinterpretation of a word or phrase
that has been heard. One classic example comes
from the line at the end of each verse of “Bad Moon
Rising” by Creedence Clearwater Revival., where
“There’s a bad moon on the rise” is misunderstood to
be “There’s a bathroom on the right.”
Words are powerful reflections of purpose and
visions of intent. As such, it is important to ensure
we say what we mean and mean what we say, with
our actions speaking as loud (and clear) as our
words. This ensures that there can be little room for
misunderstanding or misinterpretation. We continue
to express and stress, and I am confident the
students, staff and families are clear about, what this
means in respect to the learning and relationships at
Cornerstone College.
Underpinning all we do at Cornerstone is sharing the
gospel message of grace, love and forgiveness and
the freedom that comes from this wonderful gift.

from the senior leadership team
There is no mondegreen here:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16)
And what it means for us:
• God wants you - all of you.
• A relationship with God is the most
important relationship you can have embrace it every day and it will provide
meaning, purpose, direction and
contentment in and for your life.
• Share God’s love in thought, word and
deed. His gospel message comes alive in
and through you.
And a final reminder that families are always
welcome to join us for Chapel.

Cessation of Enrolment
Should there be a reason why you are not
continuing your child’s enrolment in 2016 at
Cornerstone, the College requires a term’s
notice in advance.
It would be appreciated if you could contact
Helen Charles via email on hcharles@
cornerstone.sa.edu.au or phone 8398 6009
at your earliest convenience if this is the case,
and no later than the end of Term 3.
If it is a possibility, and you are still to make a
final decision that your child is leaving, then it
would be advisable to still inform Helen.

ministry matters
In Term 2 Cornerstone College
hosted two seminar students, Jake
Zabel and Joseph Graham, from
Australian Lutheran College currently
studying to become Pastors in the
Lutheran Church of Australia. After their week
long placement we asked them to reflect on
their time at Cornerstone and the ministry they
witnessed:
This week we, seminarians Jake and Joseph,
have been visiting Cornerstone College to
learn about how a Lutheran High School runs
and what a Pastor does here. We’ve enjoyed
our time here visiting different Christian Living
classes, Vetamorphus and seeing the Christian
side of the campus.
It’s been interesting to come and see how
a South Australian private school runs, as
we both did high school in public schools in
Queensland; there are a surprising number
of differences, for instance the proliferation
of laptops. There also is a difference in the
school’s attitude towards not only Christianity
but religions in general. The schools we
attended had more anti-religious, antiChristian sentiments. But the environment at
Cornerstone is more welcoming of religious
opinions, and is not afraid to bear witness to
the Christian faith but is very open about its
Christian heritage and beliefs.
The Christian Living course was fascinating
to learn about, the different focuses in the
year levels, the openness of discussion and
the drive to get the students to question
themselves on why they believe what they
believe. Throughout our week at Cornerstone
we have attended these classes for all the
different year levels, and have enjoyed
seeing how Christian Living is taught among
the different year levels. The highlight of our
week was when we had the opportunity to
ask and answer some questions in a Year 12
important information
CL lesson. The students were free to ask any
questions concerning Christianity and religion.
It was a great experience to find out what the
students thoughts were on matters of faith and
the world.
DECD Buses
Vetamorphus was also an enjoyable
experience. We attended two sessions and got
to learn more about this worthwhile program.
The discussions and presentations were
on some rather difficult and controversial
subjects but we were impressed by how
well the students handled the topics. Their
presentations demonstrated the amount of
research that they put into the topics and we
were impressed to see how well the students
handled these topics with care and respect.
We were interested in seeing the intricacies of
the ministry side of the school. It is different to
anywhere we have witnessed before. The way
in which the Pastor and the other ministry staff
worked together in the life of the school was
intriguing to see. It is the most well organised
and advanced ministry team we have come
across.

New Canteen Online Ordering
We have a great new online ordering system
for the Canteen called FlexiSchools. This
system allows parents, students and staff
to place orders from home, work or school.
The payment is also done online, so less
paper bags, cash and envelopes are sent via
the student to school. FlexiSchools is well
established and tested, operating in hundreds
of schools across Australia.
Getting online is easy and only takes a few
minutes to register. Simply go to
www.flexischools.com.au and click
“Register Now”. You will be sent an email with
further instructions on how to complete the
registration. Once registered, you can start
placing orders immediately.
There are a variety of payment options
supported, including Visa, Mastercard (credit
and debit) and Bank Transfer. The system
operates via a pre-paid account.
The procedure of ordering lunch at either
Student Reception or in the Canteen will cease
at the end of Week 2. All lunch and recess
orders will only be accepted online through
www.flexischools.com.au from Week 3.
You can still come through and purchase as
normal but I recommend ordering to avoid
disappointment.
College Leaders at Cornerstone demonstrate
the Christian values that form the foundation of
the College and have a significant influence in
creating opportunities for others. Service is core
to all we do, and leaders at Cornerstone are
required to actively contribute to the benefit of
all. Student leadership also involves presenting
a positive example to the student body in regard
to behaviour, uniform and punctuality, and
encouraging others to do the same.
College Leaders (Year 12, 2016 only)
The application process has begun for College
Leaders; positions that commence at the start of
Term 4. Six College Leaders form a team that is
made up with at least one student from each of

the College and creating opportunities to link the
Middle and Senior Schools. Information packs
are available for current Year 11s from Senior
School Student Reception, with applications due
on Monday 3 August.
House Leaders
Each House has four Middle School and
four Senior School House Leaders (16 for
Middle School, 16 for Senior School). Their
role includes upholding and enhancing House
culture and values, and encouraging students to
participate in activities and events.
Middle School House Leaders: information
available in Week 3, applications due on
Monday of Week 5.
Senior School House Leaders: information
available in Week 5, applications due on

Tuesday this week, we had a wonderful
evening with our Careers Expo in inbarendi.
With over 50 exhibitors and parents and
students from all across the Adelaide Hills,
it was a very well attended night. Students
and parents are encouraged to pass on any
feedback they had on the evening so that
the Careers Team can continue to build and
improve upon the event for our community.
In addition to this night, we will also be
providing a thorough SATAC application
information session to all Year 12 students
next Monday.
VET 2016
Over the coming weeks, parents and students
who are interested in participating in a VET
course in 2016 are encouraged to meet with
Mr Anthony Doyle to discuss the positives
and negatives of these courses and how they
can combine this with their schooling. These
discussions are extremely valuable to have
prior to making subject choices and as they
can often take longer than 15 minutes, are
not possible during the subject selection
interviews in Week 5.
Please contact Anthony Doyle on 8398 6019
or via email [email protected]
to make an appointment.

Lutheran Schools Association
In early June, the Lutheran Education Adelaide
Hills (LEAH) community, local Lutheran
congregations and the public were invited
to attend one of three community forums,
providing the opportunity to share thoughts and
ideas as to what could be provisioned for on the
gifted land at Aston Hills. The meetings were
held at Mount Barker, Hahndorf and Lobethal,
and collectively, 65 people attended with a good
cross section of the community represented.
Cyber Safety
In this world of enhanced technology our
children have ready access to online media
and the ability to communicate freely and
easily with others. Shadowing this amazing
ability to communicate is an increasing
prevalence of Bullying through media Cyberbullying.
The Australian Government has recently
formed a new Office of the Children’s
eSafety Commissioner, and has launched
the Cyberbullying Complaints Scheme. The
scheme is aimed at supporting families and
schools in dealing with issues of cyberbullying,
and is committed to working with social media
services in this process.
I would like to alert you to a range of resources
pertinent to children and their families on
the Office’s website. Please click on the
website link below to check out information
about dealing with cyberbullying, processes
for blocking unwanted online interaction,
and having online content reported and/or
removed. Included on the website are short
videos, parent presenters and helpful links to
FAQs.
The forums commenced with a twenty minute
presentation on the projected growth of the
District, the history of the donated land and
some interesting statistics around the three
areas that the Working Group were seeking
feedback, those elements being education,
ministry and shared use opportunities.
After a brief question time the opportunity was
given for the community to share their thoughts
and ideas. The community input has been well
received and will be invaluable in helping shape
and influence the future of LEAH. The Working
Group will now test the opportunities available,
as they work towards preparing a proposal that
will help meet the future educational, ministry
and community facility needs of greater Mount
Barker and the Adelaide Hills.
It is an exciting time for LEAH and this
sentiment was reiterated by those who
attended the forums. Having the opportunity
to step back, reassess and consider the best
possible models and solutions for Lutheran
Education and Ministry in the Hills has been
both refreshing and inspiring.
www.esafety.gov.au
The Working Group look forward with much
anticipation to considering the possibilities and
would ask you to partner with them in seeking
God’s guidance and direction through prayer.

Mr Craig Fielke
Principal
At the 2015 SA Architecture Awards the
College’s Architect, Peter Moeck took home
two commendations for his outstanding work
on the Middle Years Learning Centre - Paideia.
Peter’s passion for education is further
evidenced in his current position as President
of the South Australian Chapter of the Council
of Educational Facility Planners International.
A worldwide organisation that shares
knowledge, experiences and best practice in
the planning, designing and building of great
learning environments.
The commendations received by Peter were
for the category of Educational Architecture
and Steel Architecture. The judge’s citation read:
“Paideia” is a well resolved, thoughtful
response to the brief. The building delivers
targeted middle years accommodation that
responds effectively to the campus master
plan and enhances the campus entry.
Internally, the building provides a flexible,
open learning environment that caters for
varied teaching methodology and student
groupings as well as community activities.
This flexibility is supported by connection
to a series of external informal learning and
recreation spaces, and views are maximised
and detailing is well resolved. The commitment
of the architects in delivering an excellent
outcome for the school is clear in the finished
project, with students and staff embracing the
opportunities that the building provides.

China Day 2015
On Friday 24 July, students and staff at
Cornerstone celebrated China Day. It was
our annual Chinese cultural event to promote
Chinese language and culture, and was also a
fundraising activity. Our sister school, Beijing
Haidian Foreign Language Shiyan School, has
been offering scholarships for underprivileged
children in rural China to receive an education.
As Haidian’s sister school, we are in
partnership with them in this venture and love
to show our support.
On China Day, Cornerstone students wore
something red or something Chinese and
made a donation. Students were also able
to purchase Chinese fried rice and noodles,
spring rolls and prawn crackers along with
various Chinese souvenirs. There were many
activities such as Martial Arts demonstration,
table tennis and badminton competitions,
calligraphy, chopstick races and of course the
Panda and Tigress mascot costumes brought
so much fun for us! The College was filled with
a jubilant atmosphere on this special day.
Middle School Chinese
At the end of Term Two, middle school
students studying Chinese did a research
project on the sites that the Cornerstone China
trip group will visit as part of their tour to our
sister school next year. Students made models
or tourist brochures on the attraction they
researched.
They came up with some very creative
models, using materials such as, foam, lego,
wood, cardboard and cake, etc. Students
really enjoyed the opportunity to express their
creativity in a way that linked in with their
Chinese language and cultural studies. Our
Chinese Haidian exchange students from
China thoroughly enjoyed seeing models
representing landmarks in their home country!

Year 7 Knockout Netball
Saint Francis vs Cornerstone College
The game was a tight contest from the starters
whistle till the final siren. At quarter time
Cornerstone lead by one goal which did not
change in the second quarter. Cornerstone
increased their lead at three quarter time by
another goal leading 17-15.
Both teams fought hard, defended relentlessly
and attacked the ball aggressively. Great
teamwork was shown and it was positive
to see the girls encouraging each other
throughout the match. The final quarter was a
real nail biter with both teams making errors
due to pressure. The final score was 22-20
with Cornerstone coming out on top. Well done

a huge number of intercepts and read the
play very well. Unfortunately, we couldn’t quite
keep up with Concordia who ran away with the
game in the last quarter. The final score was
34-45.
Thank you also to Lily Fox, Alicia Barron

Year 10 Boys Knockout Soccer
On a cold Monday (Term 2), Cornerstone
played host to Heathfield and Brighton High
schools.
Our first game against Heathfield produced an
all-round solid performance, resulting in a very
comfortable 6-0 win.
In our second game we needed only a draw
against the highly rated Brighton team after
their 7-2 victory over Heathfield.
We got off to a great start, passing well and
defending strongly, however two quick goals
from the visitors late in the first half saw us go
into the break rattled and needing something
special.
Knockout Football Report
Over the course of Term 2, 23 boys from years
8 and 9 have been representing Cornerstone
College in the State Knockout Football
competition.
Our first round was held at Birdwood Oval
against Mount Barker High School and
Birdwood High School. The boys were
confident we could get the job done and to
their credit ran out large victors in both games.
Game 1
Cornerstone 15-8-98 to Birdwood High 2-2-14
Best: Glover, Taylor, Smythe, Hesse,
Callaghan
Game 2
22-12-144 to Mount Barker High 0-0-0
Best: Longmire, Callaghan, Glover, ParkerBoers, Zander
Our second round we travelled to Charles
Campbell College to play Charles Campbell
and perennial powerhouse Trinity College.
Trinity College had our number last year so the
boys were very keen for some payback and
it was also a great chance to test ourselves
against one of the strongest private schools.
Game 1
Cornerstone 12-4-76 to Trinity College 1-3-9
Best: Lucas, Callaghan, Bierstaker, Taylor,
Glover, Toogood
Game 2
Cornerstone 16-12-108 to Charles Campbell
College 2-2-14
Best: Toogood, Jenkin, Taylor, Parker-Boers,
Glover.
All boys selected have represented the school
brilliantly and played the game in the right
spirit. Our next game is a semi final against
previous winners Henley High School. If we
win that game we will progress to the final
where we could meet Brighton High School or
football powerhouse, Sacred Heart College.
Wish us luck!
Mr Caleb Blesing
Coach
An early second half Brighton goal made
our task look even more unlikely until our
perseverance was rewarded with a goal ten
minutes from time. Brighton looked tired,
another Cornerstone goal and with a minute to
go the score was 2-3. In the dying seconds a
marauding run from our star central defender
Cai Rees looked like it might end in the
crucial goal, however it was not to be and an
entertaining match was brought to an end, with
Brighton going through to the next round.
Congratulations to the boys who were a credit
to the College in the way they played and
conducted themselves.

Year 8/9 Girls Knockout Soccer
The Cornerstone 8/9 Girls Soccer team
ventured to St Francis on Tuesday 16 June
and played two games against St Francis and
Heathfield. The girls played very well in both
games earning a 2-2 draw against St Francis
and 3-3 draw against Heathfield. Unfortunately
the game after us was won by St Francis
which meant we did not go through to the next
round.
I was extremely impressed by the girl’s
endeavour, support and positive approach.
Everyone contributed, even if they were
slightly unfamiliar with their positions. Well
done girls! Maybe next year.

Year 10 Girls Knockout Volleyball
On Thursday 11 June, the Year 10 Girls
Knockout Volleyball team went to the Mars
Sports Complex to compete in a round-robin
competition.
The first game was against Mount Barker
Waldorf - this was a challenging game, but the
Cornerstone girls gained skills as the game
progressed even though we lost 3-0. The
second game was against Glossop and the
team played very well, winning 4-0.
The final game in the round-robin was against
Renmark which was the team to beat - we
won the first set, but unfortunately lost the next
two sets. The fourth game was a final and we
played off for 3 v 4 against Glossop again – we
had a good win, 3-0.
The girls in the team were: Alicia Barron,
Jessica Billing, Georgina Doddridge, Rosie
Higginson, Georgia Lamshed, Alex Mackay,
Niamh Montague, Lucy Schumacher,
Tahnee Sickerdick and Nicole Smart.
We had an awesome day and improved our
volleyball skills throughout the four games. We
would like to thank Miss Weiss for coaching
and encouraging us.

Mr Lenger travelled to the Marden Sporting
Complex where they were to compete in the
knockout volleyball competition.
Open Boys Knockout Volleyball
The boys played their first game against
Blackfriars, winning 2 sets to 1. The team
fought hard as they lost the first set but then
managed to lift their heads and push through
to a 2-1 win.
Renmark High were the next team to be
played in the competition. They were a lot
taller and stronger than the Blackfriars team.
Once again we lost the first set but fighting
hard managed to bring it back and win the
game 3 sets to 1.
Then we were up against a team who hadn’t
won a game all day, Glossop High School.
The first five minutes was played to a low
standard but this was eventually overcome by
some great serving by the team. This lead to a
whitewash Cornerstone’s way, 4 sets to 0.
Now was the game we were waiting for all
day, the clutch, the make or break game that
would see us into the next round. We fought
hard but were overcome by Blackfriars who
had improved dramatically throughout the
day. Although the boys lost, it was a great
game, point for point all match. The first set
Open Girls Knockout Volleyball
On Thursday 23 July, the Open Girls Knockout
Volleyball team competed in a round-robin
competition at the Mars Stadium. The team
started really well by dominating the game
against Riverton with a 4-0 win.
Hopes were high after the win, but spirits
slowly faded away after a 3-1 loss against
Nurioopta and a 3-0 loss against Swan
Reach - the sets were very close. At the end
of the day, the team played in a 3v4 final, but
unfortunately went down 2-1. Well done to
the girls who played in the team - Samantha
Brown, Eunice Cubio, Emily Maddern, Lucy

It was a brisk winter’s day on Thursday 23
July, as we boarded the bus to the Mars sports
centre at Marden senior college for a day of
volleyball. The first game was played against
Le Fevre, as momentum was set into motion
with a convincing win. Many players including
Daniel Schoell and Nathan Litchfield
exhibited some great skills. However the next
game was quite a challenge, and Cornerstone
were gallant in defeat in three close sets.
Harry Wallis, Jack Milton and Tyler
Shearwin never gave up in an intensely
fought battle. By the third match, anticipation
was high but yet again, hopes were let down
by a sub par performance by the team as we
went down to a team that was quite beatable.
Ollie Small and Aaron Hesse demonstrated
good techniques throughout the endeavour.
In the fourth game, a powerful display by Sam
Liersch and Brad Sandford brought home a
well deserved final victory to square the ledger
at two games a piece. A very good start and
finish to the day, and overall a high standard of
volleyball was displayed by all.

Indigenous Immersion Day
During the last week of Term 3, the year
7 cohort had the privilege of experiencing
the very first Indigenous Immersion Day at
Cornerstone College. They took part in a
series of activities based around what they
had been studying during the preceding
three weeks. The activities were designed to
enable students to gain a rich and meaningful
understanding of Aboriginal culture, cementing
their learning for future years.
The three experiences ranged from learning
about how Aboriginal people utilised the
natural environment, learning about and
participating in creating a joint Aboriginal
art piece with Ms Smart and Ms Kennedy
and finally a performance by ‘Brutha n I’
where students were challenged about their
conceptions of Aboriginal people.
The students enjoyed a kangaroo sausage
and damper roll for lunch, kindly prepared by
Mr Pearce and Ms Filmer.
As with any day of this size a great deal of
gratitude must be extended to the many
people who helped put this highly successful
day together. So on behalf of the Year 7

thankyou to Jacinta Smart, Carol Kennedy,

habitat for humanity
Year 7 Boys Knockout Soccer
During our time we were able to see a few of
the houses and meet some of the families that
have already moved into their homes built by
Habitat. These families now have a permanent
home that is close to a free school, close to
markets, and close to new job opportunities.
They expressed to us their happiness in now
being part of a growing and safe community
and shared with us how much having a home
has changed their lives and provided hope for
their future.
Cornerstone 0 Stirling East Primary 2
So near, yet so far! Deep into extra time and
with only the smallest of minutes remaining on
the clock an innocuous ball was floated into
the Cornerstone penalty box, a Stirling forward
leapt like the proverbial salmon, the ball
glanced his forehead and dropped into the net.
A stunning conclusion to what had been a
magnificent game of soccer. Cornerstone were
numbed and in the dying embers of the match
conceded a second goal as they pushed
forward in a desperate attempt to equalise. It
was not to be. The match was more even than
the final score-line suggests.
The Cornerstone defense of Connor Rogers,
Damon Laan, Connor Fenlon and Douglas
Rhodes were cast-iron in their resolve to
keep out the Stirling attackers; and they
did. Our dynamo midfielder, Jack Bennet,
tackled, passed and moved with the tenacity
of a terrier. Michael Smallridge, despite not
being 100% fit, supported with some intelligent
touches. Callum Page ran and ran and ran.
Reuben Schumacher for a few moments
looked like he was in ‘dreamland’ but soon
switched on and dominated the right flank
producing a number of scintillating crosses that
sizzled across the goal mouth. Upfront Julian
Jones and Callum Ryan chased every ball
and threatened the Stirling goal. On the bench,
Aedden Rees, Sidney Kentish and Harry
Reid entered the fray at various points in the
match contributing telling tackles and precise
passes. Blake Dunnow stood resolutely in
goal and his unflappable presence was a
calming influence.
The boys can hold their heads high in the
knowledge that they played with great resolve,
skill and good sportsmanship.

Habitat for Humanity
SA Lutheran Schools Mission 2015
From 29 June - 12 July the four of us were
privileged to be part of a team of 41 from
Lutheran schools in South Australia lending
our muscle to help build houses for six
deserving families as part of a Habitat for
Humanity project just outside Phnom Penh
in Cambodia. It was great to work alongside
the families as part of the building process.
We worked together to cart bricks, gravel and
sand, lay bricks and mix and pour concrete. By
the end of our time we’d built the foundations,
including filling the interior area with sand,
dug holes at least 1.8 metres deep for the
septic system, installed the septic tanks, built
the walls of both the toilet block and half of
the main house for the houses of these six
families, and completed the foundations on the
other two.
Through interacting with people on the trip, we
not only became close to the other students,
youth leaders and teachers, but we got the
opportunity to get to know local children, the
Habitat interpreters and employees and, most
importantly the Cambodian families we were
building the houses for. Over the week family
members shared their stories with us. Many
of the receiving families have members who
are HIV affected and therefore have suffered
from past discrimination. This project enables
them to be a part of what is now a supportive
community.
Our week of building culminated in a handover ceremony in which families shared their
thoughts, stories and hopes for the future with
us. The families made small gifts of thanks
and presented these to us, and we showered
them with sweet smelling flowers as an act of
blessing and a symbol of good fortune.
Mary summed up the experience beautifully:
“I loved interacting with the people we worked
with in Cambodia. I’ve learnt a lot from the
trip and the people receiving the houses are
so grateful for the support. It’s important that
we do what we can do to support people in
Cambodia who are currently living in poverty
and facing social discrimination.”

Year 10 Drama Performance
William Shakespeare is on his way to
London to become an actor. On his way he
is accosted by the Three Weird Sisters from
Macbeth. They need to inspire Will to become
a playwright who will inspire the world so they
call upon the characters of his future plays to
inspire him to write them. Will is pursued by
one love and finds himself another in a band of
travelling players. He is haunted by the spirits
in their hilarious attempt to give him material
to write.
This challenging piece integrates
Shakespearean scene work from Macbeth,
Hamlet, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night's

Staff Professional Learning Week
The final week of Term 2 has been a dedicated
Professional Learning Week for staff for many
years. The staff look forward to this week
each year. It provides a time for spiritual
reflection, extended professional learning
sessions, interaction with peers and some
time for considering our teaching and learning
programs and practices.
Spiritual Reflection sessions were run by staff
who volunteered to lead a session reflecting
on the 10 values in Lutheran Education – love,
appreciation, service, compassion, humility,
hope, courage, justice, forgiveness and quality.
Staff chose three sessions from 12 offerings.
These included reflecting on appreciation
through creation, service through hospitality,
compassion through story-telling and hope
through art. Many activities had practical
or active components and utilised various
facilities around the school including Purtinga
wetlands, the Laratinga walking trail, the
Paideia reading tree and inbarendi.
A full day workshop for the teaching staff
focused on Assessment. Key Learning
Areas and some department teams also
had sessions to do specific work on projects
specific to their areas. The staff also were part
of observing some role plays that helped us
understand how Restorative Practices can be
outworked in various scenarios in a school.
Some staff comments on the week:
‘I really appreciated the Humility through
Contemplation session. It’s amazing how loud
God’s voice is when you are truly silent.’
‘It was a chance to slow down, yet still connect
with my colleagues in a meaningful way. The
dialogue continues into the next school term.
Hope, Love and Humility - Reflective, creative,
supportive, loving, sharing, totally Blessed.’
‘During PD week, I particularly valued
reflecting on appreciation through creation - to
place myself in the midst of unique, complex
and beautiful animals and their environments
was humbling and awe-inspiring.’
‘It was refreshing to explore faith through
creative mediums. Each session that I
participated in gave me the chance to step
back, reflect and share with peers.’
A special thanks to the staff who ran sessions
for other staff during the week.

On Wednesday 17 June, the Year 10
Music class swapped the traditional
classroom for a tour bus and hundreds
of screaming primary school children.
As a class, we wanted to share
our music with the community,
so the decision was made to visit
St Marks (Mount Barker) and St
Michaels (Hahndorf), for a 60 minute
performance to all of the primary
students.
The Year 10s directed the whole
event, from bumping the performance
space in and out for each concert, to
performing. It was fantastic to watch
our confident singers act as MCs for
the day.
Our program included several full
band charts, a special performance
from our eight singers and solos from
James May, Sarah Dickinson, Emily
Fenwick and Sam Schultz.
Congratulations to all the Year
10 students for a successful and
incredibly entertaining day.
