The camps that have taken place throughout the year help to create space and opportunity out of the classroom context to foster and build a greater sense of community within the broader school community.

Faith formation and discipleship is something that is at the heart of who we are as a College, and it was encouraging to see a group of our parents this year participate in our Christianity Explained course in order to learn more about Jesus and the Christian faith.

Thanks to the engagement and support of our students and parents, our mission service learning program has been able to support Barnabas Aid by collecting non-perishable food that will be sent to Christian communities who are being persecuted in other countries. I am reminded of the power of faith in action when we focus on building our community as Christians.

Our new administration, science and technology wing has been an enormous asset and blessing to the operations of the College and learning for students. The facility opened at the commencement of the year and we were recently able to celebrate the official opening of this new part of our build. Thanks goes to the many people involved in developing this project and bringing it to fruition, and it now enables us to further support student learning, particularly in the areas of STEM, Robotics and Media/IT.

I pray for a safe and restful break as we conclude the term. We also uphold our staff and Year 9 students as they embark on their journey to and through Central Australia as a part of the Year 9 camp experience and enjoy the beauty, magnificence and wonder of God’s creation.

Yours faithfully,
