Leadership Team Report
Craig Moore, Director of Student Learning
Easter is a season of reflection.
We reflect on the gift of Jesus to
this world and the sacrifice that
he made for the forgiveness of
our sins. It is also a time where
families will often come together
and share fun, laughter, a meal
and the occasional chocolate egg!
On two occasions over the last
week I was gently reminded of the
important role each of us with a
Christian faith has in sharing our
faith and the miracle of Easter
with others.
The first situation was when
purchasing an Easter egg for my
wife. I headed into Bracegirdles
House of Fine Chocolate after
a meeting in Adelaide thinking
that I was clever for being
organised a few days in advance.
Bracegirdles (for the uninitiated)
is one of those places that you
need to get to at least once a
year if you want to get a couple
of points on the board with your
partner (it is typically better if
you take them – but I was on a
mission!) As I carefully selected
an egg and handed the attendant
my card I was surprised to have
her ask “do you know what day
Easter actually is?” It was a great
opportunity to have a chat about
the Easter story and then explain
how the Easter egg that I was
buying represented new life. In
some ways I felt surprised by
her surprise. This opportunity to
share was clearly something not
to take for granted.
The second situation was on
Easter Sunday. Our family
travelled to Tailem Bend for a
few days of relaxation at the
river and we hosted quite a large
gathering for Easter Sunday
lunch. In my typical spokesperson
way I thanked everyone for
travelling that day and then
announced “All right everyone,
let’s say grace”.

Information
Lutheran Quality Schools Survey
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Year 10 Work Experience
A reminder that the Yellow Work
Placement Agreement form and Risk
Assessment form is due by the 15th of
April (at the end of this term).
Please continue to return completed
forms to the Future Pathways Office or
Student Services.
If you have any concerns, please contact
Ms Cirillo or Mrs Rivers.
Lutheran Education Australia (LEA) is committed to providing schools
of excellence across Australia. In order to assist schools to provide
quality services and to continuously improve, a nation-wide survey
is being conducted. Families and students of Faith College (as
members of the LEA family) are invited to participate. The following
communication has been provided to our College and we have been
asked to share this with our community. I trust the following letter
provides further information concerning the upcoming survey. Parents
of Faith College that have any questions are welcome to direct their
enquiries to Mrs Nerida Harris ([email protected]).
Steve Wilksch, Principal
Reports and Interviews: information for
years 8-11
We are transitioning to a more
environmentally friendly and efficient
method of student reporting. Step one
will be to email home the report and
later in the year we intend to organise
interview bookings entirely electronically.
For the first round of 2016 interviews,
printed information will still be sent
home with online booking details. Please
understand that it is not a requirement
that you meet with every teacher.
Teachers will typically request that you
meet with them if they feel that there
is something important to share. We
certainly appreciate the partnership that
we have with parents and you are most
welcome to book as many interviews as
you see valuable beyond those requested
by teachers.
Student reports will be emailed on
Monday 4th April. Please contact Pauline
Sachse via email [email protected]
if there are any difficulties receiving your
student’s report.
Buses - Friday 15th April
Dear families
Due to early finishing time at Nuriootpa
High School on the last day of Term
1 - Friday 15th April, all DECD buses
(Gomersal/Bethany, Lyndoch, Cockatoo
Valley, Rowland Flat) will be running 50
minutes earlier.
Students will need to be ready to meet
their buses at 2.45pm. Parents need to
be aware that students will be arriving at
their destinations 50 minutes earlier.
Thanks for your assistance with this
matter and please contact the Bus
Coordinator if further information is
required.
NATIONAL LUTHERAN QUALITY SCHOOLS SURVEYS 2016
Dear Parent(s) and Caregivers
This year our school will be participating in a set of surveys of
all Lutheran schools nationally. Lutheran Education Australia
has contracted Professor Cuttance and Dr Thompson at Research
Australia Development and Innovation Institute (RADII) to
conduct the surveys online.
Students will either complete the survey in class-time, or
where they have school email addresses they will receive
their invitation by email. All parents and staff are invited to
participate in the survey. We seek feedback from parents, staff
and students about the wellbeing and education of your children
in Lutheran schools.
Between 5th May - 31st May 2016 parents/caregivers will receive
an email from Dr Jean Thompson with an invitation to respond
to the survey online. The responses to the surveys are captured
by the RADII survey system. Your survey responses are not
identifiable by the school, unless you wish to indicate at the end
of the survey that you want your feedback to be identified.
Parents who do not wish to participate in the survey are
requested to notify the School Office ([email protected]) so
that we can remove your name from the invitations.
We encourage you to respond to the survey. When the surveys are
completed we will share the findings with you.
Thank you for supporting the survey process.

Continued...
One of the younger children,
very obligingly, loudly and
confidently shouted, “GRACE”. He
was not being cheeky but was
in fact quite proud of himself as
he had done exactly what was
asked. I loved the innocence
around this as he clearly had no
understanding of what I actually
meant. Not only did I learn that I
am going to need to choose my
words more carefully, but I also
had the opportunity to introduce
him to the heart of our Easter
celebrations.
recognise that not everyone
in society today actually has
a solid understanding of the
sacrifice that Jesus made,
and the amazing truth that
he was able to rise from
death and conquer sin itself.
It’s important that we not
only spend time personally
connecting with the Easter
message each season but also
that we are open to the many
wonderful opportunities that
present to share the good
news with others.
As we reflect on the message
of Easter it is important to

Runner-up for the 2016 Simpson Prize
Sam has been announced as the
State Runner-up for the 2016
Simpson Prize.
The Simpson Prize is a national
competition for Year 9 and
10 students. The competition
encourages participants to focus
on the significance of Anzac Day
and to consider what Anzac Day
means to them and to Australia.
Sam wrote a 1500 word essay
responding to a question based
on the spirit of the famous ANZAC
Simpson, remembered
for his bravery carrying
wounded soldiers to help
on the back of his stray
donkey.
He also visited Parliament House and
took a tour with our Local Member,
Tony Pasin and dined at the Royal
Military College, Duntroon.
We congratulate Sam on his
dedication and enthusiasm to
historical research and his passion for
keeping the memory of past soldiers
alive.

Exchange News: Kiko’s Reflections
Now, I am really missing Australia
because Japan is so cold, and studies
are so hard. I hope I can come back to
Australia and see everyone sometime
in the future. Thank you so much
again.”
Kiko Otani
Faith’s Exchange Friends
Kiko on Retreat in 2015 at Mt Brown in the Lower Flinders Ranges, with
Lucy and Anna Whittaker and Aidan Saunders.
The final reflections from one of our
2015 Exchange students come from
Kiko Otani, who is now back home in
Japan and studying hard at our sister
school Seibo Gakuen. (Her colleague
Yuika arrives on April 5 and her four
host families are keenly waiting and
preparing for her arrival.)
“I really appreciated all the students
and the teachers at Faith. Thank you
for accepting me as an exchange
student. I will never forget everyone’s
kindnesses. You helped me many
times. I was glad that I could get
to know many people at Faith, and
I really enjoyed your company. The
most impressive memory was Retreat.
I enjoyed hiking, beautiful landscapes
and camping because I had never
done camping like Retreat before. It
was a great experience for me.
Thanks to Susan Gordon, and Paul
and Judi Bert, for offering to be part
of Faith’s Exchange Friends group.
If any other parents are keen to
get a taste of hosting but can only
manage a weekend or a few days
in their busy schedule this is your
chance. The idea is to have a list
of families who might be able to
provide respite for host families
some time for just a few days.

Year 12 Easter Reflection
National Youth
Science Forum
2016
On Maundy Thursday, as preparation for our Easter celebrations, a group
of Year 12 LIFE students presented an Easter Reflection to the College
Community. The focus was on a modern day version of the Easter Story with
students involved in dramatic presentations, live music, retelling of the
experiences of Jesus, video production and art work. Students worked hard
over six weeks to create their own unique version of the Gospel message.
Judi Schmidt (Year 12 Coordinator, LIFE teacher)
In the January school holidays, I
attended the National Youth Science
Forum in Canberra. The forum is a
12 day program which aims to show
future leaders in science the wide
variety of study and career options
in science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM) fields. About 400
students from around Australia
attended the forum, as well as
students from Fiji, Germany, South
Africa, and New Zealand.
I had opportunity to tour science
labs and take part in some cool
activities, such as making slime and
using liquid nitrogen. I also attended
lectures by esteemed scientists from
many different fields. Accommodation
was provided at the Australian
National University campus where I
was able to experience what it was
like to be a university student.
This was a fantastic experience that
I will never forget. I met so many
like-minded people and have made
friendships that will last a lifetime,
while being able to further my
passion for science. If you would like
to find out more how you could take
part in the program visit nysf.edu.au
(Year 11 students need to apply by
end of May.)

Future Pathways
Exciting Opportunities to Expand your Future Pathways...
Parents as Career Partners Evening
On Monday 7th of March Faith hosted the annual Year 10 Parents as Career Partners evening. The
Parents as Career Partners evening is a great night where families and their students work together
as a team. We discussed a number of very important topics that effect Year 10s as they enter the
senior school. We discussed; how parents can become career parents, what is SACE, how to achieve
SACE, what is an ATAR, how to achieve an ATAR, our extensive VET program, work experience and
the new changes, how to access various websites on pathways, how to analyse their VIQ results
and the final part of the evening was a team effort of commencing the students Action Plan on
investigating pathways of interest.
This year, the VET Coordinator, Di Sanders also invited two Year 12 VET students to discuss; their
course, its benefits and how their courses support both their pathways and achieve SACE and/or an
ATAR. Both Jaymee Koch and Chris Pascoe performed well.
It was a great night and we look forward to hosting it again next year.
A great way to further support investigating future pathways, is by attending the Tertiary Studies &
Careers Expo in Adelaide.
The Tertiary Studies and
Careers Expo is a great
opportunity for students
and families to explore
future pathways, travel and
employment opportunities.

The team bowled with control to
keep the scoring rate down, however
wickets were proving hard to take.
After drinks Salisbury East began to
increase the scoring rate and wickets
began to fall. They were bowled out
for a good total of 156.
With just over 5 per over needed
to win the teams leadership group
shuffled the batting order, promoting
Will Loffler to the top of the order.
The move proved to be a match
winner with the opening pair of Will
and James Madden making a steady
start before putting the foot down
and lifting the scoring rate. James
was out for 22, but Will powered
on in a tremendous innings which
included some big hitting and also
some fine cricket shots. He hit the
winning runs to finish on 117 not
out.
He was well supported by James
Madden 22 and Aaron Nietschke 14.
Through to the Final.
State Final – KO Cricket
Opponent: Blackfriars Priory School
Location: Park 25 (Adelaide)
Faith 4/60 defeated Blackfriars 59
Copper Behn 19 n.o
Colby Noack 17
Will Loffler 6/15
Liam Birchard 2/9
Matt Quinn 1/13
After again losing the toss and
being thrown the ball the team
set about restricting the scoring
with some tight bowling. Some
calm decision making in the field
saw Riley McInerney make an early
run out, with Nic Burton taking an
excellent slips catch soon afterwards.
From that moment onwards wickets
fell at a steady rate. All bowlers
played their part and were led by
a fired up Will Loffler, who claimed
6 wickets for just 17 runs. Liam
Birchard was also impressive with
2/9.
The run chase got off to a shaky start,
with both openers dismissed early,
leaving the score at 2/4. Colby Noack
and Cooper Behn then formed an
excellent partnership to guide the
team home, with Colby dismissed on
17 just shy of the winning runs and
Cooper remaining unbeated on 19.
A fantastic team effort by all involved.
The team had a very strong batting
and bowling line-up and it is a credit
to all the students involved in the
way that they patiently took on their
role within the team (either batting,
bowling or fielding) with all players
making a contribution at some point
across all 4 games.
Thanks to all parents who came and
supported the team.

outstanding.
A very big congratulations to all
students for the manner in which
they competed and the positive
atmosphere that was evident
across the day.
Thank you to all the Parents
and Caregivers that attended
on the day. It is great to see you
supporting this college community
event.
Particular thanks must also go to
the following people – The PE staff:
Mrs Mangelsdorf, Mrs Vanderloo,
Mr Schmidt and Mr Darling for
their hard work in preparing for
the event; Mr Lovell and the Tech
Crew for the sound equipment,
Mrs Lambert and Mrs Roocke for
looking after First Aid, Mrs Tscharke
for taking photos of the event, all
of the Grounds Staff for preparing
the event areas, and to all the staff
at Faith for the marshalling of
events and work both on the day
and during the lunch time events
during the week.
On Thursday the 14th April the
Faith Athletics Team will travel
to the Mile End Athletics Stadium
to compete in the SSSSA Track
and Field Championship. After a
successful event last year Faith has
maintained a place in the A2 Grade,
which is a great achievement.
Congratulations to all students that
have been successful in making
this team. We hope you enjoy the
opportunity to be involved in such
an exciting event. Good luck!

Building parent-school partnerships
Easing
children’s
anxiety
WORDS Michael Grose
Anxiety is normal and part of everyday life. There’s no better time
than childhood for learning how to cope with anxiety.
For those with no personal experience of
anxiety it can be hard to understand how
debilitating it can be. “Come on, get on
with it,” seems so obvious. Of course, this
response is nowhere near adequate.
Most kids experience some anxious
moments or have fearful thoughts and
feelings from time to time about certain
events. These thoughts and feelings prompt
them to proceed with caution.
But anxiety and fear can be paralysing.
Some kids simply can’t stop their ‘bad
thoughts and feelings’. They can’t silence
the voice of fear that whispers to them
continually.
Staying calm
ACCEPT your child’s anxious feelings. Your
child needs to trust that you are with them,
and then they will be more willing to let
you help them cope. It’s hard sometimes to
differentiate between what may be a bad
case of negative thinking and true anxiety.
Is a child being negative when she doesn’t
want to join a new club because she thinks
no one will like her, or is there something
more going on? Try to confirm whether
there is any validity in their fears. If not,
point out diplomatically, that they may be
catastrophising. If you feel there is reason
for concern, help them to overcome their
anxiety.
CHALLENGE the validity of your child’s
fears and anxiety, using logic and rational
thinking. Don’t allow kids to wallow in selfpity. Move their thoughts towards the future
rather than allow them to mope around.
Anxiety is a normal part of life and can
be managed, but it takes time. It’s also
contagious so it’s the job of parents to
stay calm, think clearly and role model
confidence when kids get anxious.
CALM is created through your words,
voice and facial expression. When children
become anxious, help them recognise
what’s happening. Some kids get angry,
some become upset and others withdraw.
Work out the pattern for your child and help
them recognise when they are anxious.
Making a plan
ENCOURAGE your child to overcome their
anxiety through action. Vanessa came
up with a creative solution to help Ruth,
her seven-year-old daughter, overcome
her reluctance to attend birthday parties
without her. Initially Vanessa attended
parties with her daughter so she wouldn’t
miss out, but Ruth was becoming too reliant
on her, so it was time to make a change.
The next time Ruth was invited to a party,
Vanessa put a plan into action. First, she
set up a little birthday party scenario at
home using dolls and teddies as friends, so
her daughter would know what to expect.
Vanessa explained that she would leave her
at the party for a short time. Vanessa let her
daughter know that she had no doubt that
she’d cope.
The little plan worked a treat. Vanessa
arrived at the party an hour after the
start to find Ruth involved in a game. She
acknowledged her mum, but she didn’t
leave the game. Later, at home Vanessa
made a fuss over her daughter for being
brave. Ruth agreed that next time she was
invited to a party she would go for the
whole time without her mum.
Anxiety is normal and part of everyday
life. However, it can be debilitating unless
it’s managed. Anxiety management takes
time for kids to learn, but it’s one of those
valuable life skills that parents can teach
their kids.
