6th December 2018
Dear parents and members of the Faith community,Christmas is almost upon us and another school year is coming to a close. The last few months have been quite extraordinary in regard to the number of events that have taken place in the College. I thank everyone in our community who has joined us for these events and celebrations. Amidst the hive of activity we have been immensely proud of our graduating Year 12 students. Year 12s enjoyed final day celebrations, held a wonderful closing performance, attended their Formal celebrations, culminating with their Valedictory Service last night. As we now officially graduate our Year 12 students, we pray for a sense of peace and calm as they await their final results later this month.I take this opportunity to thank staff, students, parents and community for your engagement with the College. We are blessed to have wonderful loyal supporters who take great interest in the life of our students and the College. Despite the wonderful celebrations of recent weeks, the end of the year also brings sadness as we farewell staff who are leaving our community.Four staff have worked at Faith in contract positions this year replacing permanent staff who were on leave. As these contracts conclude, I wish to acknowledge and thank the following staff for their service contribution.
Jack Dumesny, Saba Sankauskas, Hannah Sanders and Grace Jaensch.We also acknowledge permanent staff concluding their time at Faith, and recognise their service to the College. Daniel Amey, Kirsty Hansen, Colin Davis, Jane Renner, Jessica Herrmann and Sharron Noble.In particular, I wish to pay tribute to three retiring staff who conclude their outstanding service to Faith Lutheran College.
Jane Bagshaw16 years
Barb Garwood24 years
Lorraine Jaunay27 years
A combined 67 years of service to Faith Lutheran College
May God bless these staff in their new journeys. We sincerely thank them for their service.

On November 20th she experienced international travel for the first time with a group of seven other young people whom she has never met.

We wish Rhiannon every success for the future.

We wish Olyvia well as a budding talent and look forward to seeing her perform on Broadway or London’s West End.
AMY DOECKE YEAR 11Amy has been proactive in liaising with and showing a real sense of commitment to her course, however, it was ‘Amy’s’ SIWAH journey that stood out. Amy was an exceptional individual in Indonesia but also pre and post the Indonesian trip. She was ‘outgoing’, very positive and would give the many new and untried ‘things’ associated the SIWAH project a go. She communicated effectively with adults and students alike and she supported her peers and teachers immensely. She was caring and considerate of others. Amy’s positivity was infectious. She continually looked for the new opportunities and would give everything a go. Amy is a mature young lady and she is level-headed. She tries hard and was always willing to support any fundraising work for the SIWAH project. She is incredibly considerate of other’s needs. Academically she tries hard and puts the effort into everything she does.

CHRISTMAS WEEKHosted by the Student Council, Christmas Week captured the essence of true Christmas spirit with a Christmas Tree decorating contest, Christmas themed casual day, and combined Junior Campus and Middle and Senior Campus Christmas Pageant and worship service. The fellowship, laughter and healthy competition was undeniable throughout the week, and as students headed home on Friday afternoon after a candy cane scavenger hunt, a glimmer of School holiday anticipation filled the air.

GOAT CLUB AWARDSCraig Moore, Daymap CoordinatorOn Thursday 22nd November students enjoyed a pizza lunch to celebrate the great year and the positive contributions in the running of goat club.
This year we were fortunate to have a large group of senior students who showed outstanding leadership and paired up with our juniors as their mentors. The junior students then very capably worked towards leading their allocated goat in the show ring.
Overall the team work and comradery of the group was outstanding. We were very lucky to have Teresa Roocke come on board as a key staff member in the mentoring of students and helping run the project.
Thanks also to Mr Stewart and the Agriculture teachers for their guidance and weekend feeding of the goats throughout the year.
PLAYGROUND ENGINEERS A request for a new swing set has provided another opportunity for Year 11 VET Construction students to put their skills to the test.Students at the TLS Campus put the call out for a swing set to complement their Junior Primary play areas, with Steve Dutschke and his team of Construction students more than happy to answer the call.Over several weeks Mr Dutschke worked with students to meet the TLS Campus brief, designing and building the structure onsite at the Faith Campus.On Tuesday 4th December the swing set made its way to its new home next to the Harvest Centre at the TLS Campus. The completed project has been a rewarding experience for students involved and will ensure hours of enjoyment for the younger members of the College. ‘Students are to be congratulated on all their hard work on this project and especially on successfully completing their final assessments. This group have been a wonderful group to work with as they complete units from Cert II in Construction and are a credit to their parents, teacher and the College. Well done boys!’ Dianne Sanders VET CoordinatorThank you to the Parents and Friends committee at the TLS campus who have spent the year fundraising for the playground.Participating Year 11 students Will Parker (NRH), Lachlan Westlake (GFR), Lachlan Scheer (GFR), Daniel Bussenschutt (KDF), Henry Knights (JCK), Dylan Birchard (BTY), Daniel Roennfeldt (NRH), Isaac Feltus (SWL) and Hayden Starick (GDB)

YEAR 10 GINGERBREAD HOUSESEdith Zeller, TeacherIn the last couple of lessons of the year we have been making gingerbread houses 'the proper way' with gingerbread spices imported from Switzerland. We made the dough ourselves from scratch and students took it home to bake. We had lots of fun decorating them in our last double lesson of the year - and eating them of course!
Year 10 Food & Hospitality students also made Gingerbread Houses during the term.

Dismissal will be at 3.15pm from Faith.Parents and Caregivers are most welcome to come along at any time during the day to join the Faith community.
Barossa Triathlon ClubThe Barossa Triathlon Club have been in existence informally, for the last two summers, with a group of mums organising family-friendly mini triathlon events in and around the Nuri Pool for our kids, their friends and anyone else we could think of inviting. We only managed to hold two events in Feb/Mar last year, as two were cancelled due to extreme weather, but we had 77 people participating in at least one event, including 15 fit young lads from Tanunda Footy Club who incorporated it into their pre-season training efforts. All of the events have been held with the blessing of Triathlon SA, Barossa Council and under the auspices of Nuriootpa Futures Association. At the end of last Summer we decided that this concept really did have legs, and we decided that we'd better make the group official for the usual reasons, and are currently working towards having the club officially incorporated. We are already affiliated with TriathlonSA so full club members can compete as Barossa club members at all Triathlon SA events around the state.In 2019, we intend to hold more mini events as we have done in the past. They are all about getting people outdoors and active in a friendly environment and using some of the great facilities that we have available. We are planning to host six events every couple of weeks on a Friday evening or Sunday morning, from the end of January to mid March. Participants and their families are encouraged to hang around the pool area afterwards, with a BBQ and other food available to purchase, or BYO picnic.Events cater for three year olds who still need to wear floaties in the pool, have trainer wheels on their bikes, and probably need a parent or older sibling to hold their hand for the run. Bigger kids and adults can stretch their legs and swim 50m, 100m or 200m, and ride once or twice around the block that contains Nuri High School and Coulthard Reserve. The run is along the creek, up to the caravan park and back. There is a distance to suit all ages and levels of fitness, and the distances that require (real) swimming are timed so participants can track their progress during the season.
