Dr. Neville Highett was very positive in his assessment about the high level of engagement of all who participated. We have already begun the process of collating feedback and there have been some very clear emerging trends. One of the strengths identified has been our College staff; dedicated, committed, students focussed, selflessly giving, focused on the Christian ministry of the church, having a heart for each student and going the extra mile. What a privilege it was for me to see all stakeholders of the College community recognise the outstanding contribution of staff and the immense value they bring to the College. May I wish you God’s blessing for the term ahead and again, thank you for your contribution to our strategic plan. Your input will have a significant influence on our future Junior Campus Front Bench, Senior Campus direction and we look forward to sharing more of these results Student Council and Year 7 representatives once the report has been handed down. during their Stragetic Planning workshop ANZAC DAY REFLECTIONS The first morning of Term 2 was an opportunity for our staff and students to attend a special ANZAC Day chapel. The men and women who served to protect our freedom were acknowledged and our Senior Choir gave a beautiful performance of ‘In Flanders Fields’ and ‘Advance Australia Fair’.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Lest we forget.

Faith Lutheran College - Faith Middle & Senior Campus THE VINEYARD, Issue 6 - 9 May 2019 Page 2 BEYOND THE SCRIPTURES As part of the College’s Easter celebrations inTerm 1, more than fifty Year 12 students performed a powerful and moving Easter service from the perspective of those closest to Jesus. Co-written by students and Chaplain Adam Yeager, the group interpreted the scriptures to compose a play highlighting the anguish, fear and betrayal felt by Jesus’ disciples, Pontius Pilot and his mother Mary during the time of his crucifixion. Accompanied by musicians and vocalists, the riveting performance served as an undeniable reminder of God’s love for us, and how his sacrifice offers forgiveness, hope, and eternal life for all who believe.

Faith Lutheran College - Faith Middle & Senior Campus THE VINEYARD, Issue 6 - 9 May 2019 Page 4 MYLOR YEAR 8 CAMP Jack Fechner and Caitlin White, Year 8 Year Level Leaders In Term 1 Week 9, Year 8 students travelled to Mylor for the annual Year 8 camp. During the camp all Year 8 students, some Year 12 students and teachers participated in many exciting and uplifting activities. The camp also encouraged new friendships for us and teamwork in our groups. One of the activities we participated in was the giant swing. The giant swing was a really cool activity for us because it challenged a lot of us to break past the fear barrier, and it was also very fun. Canoeing was equally as entertaining. We had races and played many amusing games which were amazing for us to develop more teamwork skills. Another popular activity amongst the students was the Flying Fox. Beginning on a gum-tree covered hill, the 200-metre-long zipline stretched along an open, grassy area overlooking a large portion of the campsite. Speeding down the flying fox built up exhilaration and being high above the ground was breathtaking. On the final night of camp, each Village performed mock advertisements in the traditional camp concert. We had worked on them for the past few weeks with our Villages. Performing was in equal measures terrifying and fun and the Year 8s proved to be a very creative group. Overall, the Year 8 Mylor Camp was an amazing and exciting experience for all students involved. The diversity of activities brought us closer together and by the end of the breakfast sing- a-long on the last day we had a definite sense of belonging. Jacob Scheer on the giant swing

We also visited the Jam Factory where Tom Borgas addressed our students about his sculptural pieces for his show called, Concrete. Tom worked at Faith as our Design teacher a few years ago, and it was wonderful to see his most recent works. We enjoyed a street art walk back through City West, arriving at the Art Gallery of SA, North Tce to see the Ben Quilty Exhibition and the new curation of Australian and Contemporary art. “The part I loved most about the Visual Arts excursion was seeing the Art Gallery of South Australia and being able to see many artworks from various cultures and different artistic styles”. - Brianna Setlhong “I found the art and design excursion an awesome opportunity to gain inspiration for my upcoming folio and conclude the Visual Study element. The art gallery, particularly Ben Quilty’s exhibition, was a great chance to experience a range of different artwork created in a variety of mediums. I loved spending the day with all the art and design students together too”. Ariel Heinrich "My favourite part of the day was visiting the SACE art and design show, I didn’t want to leave! Seeing the amazing works of past students has definitely inspired my upcoming Folio. It was also a great chance to connect with the other students in the class and take a ‘family’ photo on our street art walk." - Hannah Clarke Brianna Setlhong, Kira Moore, Claire Marsh, "The excursion to the SACE art show and the Adelaide enjoying the SACE Art Show. art gallery was a wonderful opportunity as we were able to look at a number of different artists’work.

The students came with the purpose of being immersed in the English language and the Australian way of life. During their stay, the Seibo students attended lessons provided especially for them in the subjects of Art, English, Science, PE, History and Music. They were also given the opportunity to attend regular lessons with their host siblings and buddies. The Seibo students thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Gorge Wildlife Japanese students wearing their Yukata’s in Chapel Park, where they were able to hold a Koala and pet Kangaroos, and their walk to Murray Street, Tanunda, where they went souvenir shopping. The Year 7-12 Japanese classes also enjoyed the opportunity to interact with the Japanese students. Highlights included the Year 7’s practicing their Hiragana with the students and showing them their favourite activities, and the Year 9’s working with the Seibo students to teach each other about their language and culture. Thank you so much to all staff, students and families Faith student Hannah Quodling pictured with Seibo who were involved in the short-term exchange. students playing Waltzing Matilda in Year 9 Music

Faith Lutheran College - Faith Middle & Senior Campus THE VINEYARD, Issue 6 - 9 May 2019 Page 16 2019 FAITH STUDENT COUNCIL Katherine Ahearn, Year 9 Year Level Leader I chose to join the Student Council because I believed I would be a good representative for my peers and would be able to put forward their needs, wants and ideas to people who could make them happen. There were a lot of changes occurring in the College already and I wanted to be a part of making it happen. I also saw being a member of the Student Council as a great opportunity to put myself out of my comfort zone, and gain skills in teamwork, leadership, and public speaking. Because many of the members of the Student Council are a little older than myself and my peers, sometimes it can be important to get opinions from the younger side of the school. I guess that’s where I come in! I can provide a differing point of view and also maybe be a little more relatable to the younger students. The Student Council meets every Monday at lunchtime to discuss whatever has arisen that week. It may be ideas/ requests from students, planning events in the school, or conversing about school policies/rules. From time to time extra meetings may be planned during the week for special occasions. This year one of our goals is to plan more things involving the Junior Campus. In primary school, I was the girl’s school captain. However, I’ve found the two roles are very, very different. This position involves a lot more of working with other people, and really being a representative for my peers. It’s really great knowing you have the council behind you, because everyone is there to support you, and knows the stress you can be under at times. Bella Lehmann, Year 10 Year Level Leader I decided to try out for Year Level Leader as I wanted to see what the role included, how much work was needed, and I wanted to be a voice for my year level. I had also seen all of the great ideas that the Student Council had done in 2018 and wanted to be part of it. We meet every Monday as a council and then all the leaders have their own meetings with their Year Level Wellbeing Leader. At these meetings, we’ll talk about any issues that the year levels have brought up, as well as plans to meet with Junior Campus and plan different weeks or events. This is the first leadership role I have had in a school setting, and I am really enjoying it. There is a lot of work that is involved, but I enjoy seeing how everything gets done and being part of it.
