Family responsibilities and Christian living can seem like an endless checklist of expectations. From work, children, and health to Bible reading and service, we carry crushing mental pressures. This constant striving leads to two vital questions: What standard am I comparing myself to, and what do I think will happen if I fail?

Faith starts in the heart but doesn’t stop there. Romans 10:10 reminds us that what we truly believe shapes the words we speak and the lives we lead. This week, may our words be filled with kindness, hope, and encouragement.

We are committed to providing a child safe environment where children and young people are not only safe, but feel safe, and one in which their voices are heard in the decisions that affect their life within the College.

Well done to all students who participated in Gala Day on Friday the 11th of September. It was a wonderful day of teamwork, sportsmanship, and encouragement across all sports and teams.

Congratulations to our eSports class who took out first place at the Interschool eSports Mario Kart competition last week. It was an exciting afternoon of strategic gameplay and teamwork as players took turns racing against competitors from other schools, in hopes of claiming victory and winning the most points each race.

The Year 3 students recently hosted their highly anticipated Community Showcase, welcoming many classes and staff members to explore the amazing communities they had designed as part of their integrated HASS, Design Technologies, and Mathematics assessment.

Visual Arts has been a colourful, creative, and exciting space for students to explore their ideas and discover what they can achieve. Throughout the term, junior school students have enjoyed a variety of units that encouraged them to try new approaches, experiment with different techniques and develop their own creative style.

ICT

In ICT in Term 2, the students were tasked with designing a website suitable for use with junior school students to practice their mathematics. There were some great designs, and in Term 3 their assessment project involved taking a page template and using it to implement their design.

Media Arts

The Year 7-8 Media Arts students have been learning the art of Foley – adding sound effects to movies.  The imagination of the students was evident, as the variety of sounds utilised in their projects was broad and, mostly, appropriate!

This term, our Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 Science students have been exploring the exciting world of Physics through hands-on learning.
