In July we have a team of 22 travelling to Cambodia to partner with RAW Impact in their efforts to ‘give a voice to those who have none and creating powerful change in Cambodian villages’. We will be participating in a number of community development projects including building a home for a family living in a slum and an agricultural initiative.

Please join us in praying for our team as they prepare for this journey.

Each team member is responsible for raising $1000 towards building and project costs. If you are interested in supporting a student in this way, please follow this link and click on the ‘top supporters’ tab to find a list of all the team members. All payments are tax deductible.

On Thursday, 5 March the Year 12 cohort will be hosting a Bake Sale at the Middle and Secondary Campus during morning tea. We will be selling a range of cupcakes, slices, brownies and other sweet treats. The proceeds of this will go to funding a range of Year 12 end of year activities, including Reflections Camp (the College’s positive alternative to Schoolies). Students will be able to purchase a sweet treat for $1 – $5.

Coming up in March we will be taking our Year 11 boys on our annual Men’s Retreat.

This retreat will provide an opportunity for your child to learn core leadership and life skills that will set him up for his final years at our College. We have a heart to see all of our Senior Students finish strong and united, and we believe that this retreat provides a great environment to realise this goal.

Over the course of the three days, the boys will be involved in leadership sessions presented by a very special guest speaker, Ps Sunjay Stevensen. Each session is crafted to challenge, inspire and equip your son on his journey. There will also be plenty of down-time between sessions for students to use the facilities of the resort.

Coming up in March we will be taking our Year 11 girls to Colour Conference in Sydney.

Colour Conference is a life changing conference: it places value upon womanhood and inspires each woman to be all that she can be. It’s an opportunity for our students to learn from successful Christian women in and around the world, as they share their story of how they overcame and grew stronger in their faith, in life and as a lady. Our Year 11 Colour trip will also inspire your daughter to learn core leadership and life skills that will set her up for her final years at our College. We have a heart to see all of our Senior Students finish strong and united, and we believe that this conference provides a great environment that enables us to achieve this goal.
