Year 11s reconnect with God in the Flinders Ranges The Year 11 Camp to the majestic Flinders Ranges is considered one of the most memorable experiences of many students’ lives. This term, our Year 11 students embarked on this once-in-a-lifetime trip. For many students, this camp is a learning curve in being independent but also working and living together in community. Each morning students rose early to walk up a steep hill next to the camp site to watch the sunrise over Rawnsley Bluff and share in devotions together. They expected God to reveal Himself in new ways on camp. And God certainly did. For many students, the wonder and majesty of the Flinders was a new experience and a chance to understand God’s magnificent creation from a different perspective. The sunrise on the first morning at devotion hill and listening to devotions from teachers and students were noted as especially meaningful times, along with worship in song led by students around the campfire each night. The long running tradition of sharing ‘special person’ gifts followed by a pancake supper on the last night finished the camp in a memorable way.

creating the timetable. The Year 12 students continued their preparation for Graduation, Celebration Day and the Formal as well as trying to stay on target for their final assessments and exams. The Year 11 students have been looking at Year 12 jacket designs and the Year 11 and 12 students together enjoyed a presentation from mteSA looking at employment opportunities through apprenticeships and traineeships. In Year 10, the focus has been on their series on dating and relationships as well as looking at the world of work. I am continually encouraged and blessed by the positivity, engagement and resilience of our Senior School students throughout this busy term. Trevor Coward A/Deputy Principal – Secondary
