a personality trait they would like to change, e.g. ‘anger,’
‘self-doubt,’ or ‘fear of failure,’ acknowledge a habit they
would like to stop or anonymously outline a situation
with friends or family that seemed to be controlling or
unhelpful.
At Chapel on Wednesday the student worship leaders
and Chaplain Adam led the College into a time of
Lenten reflection commencing with the Ash Wednesday
tradition of honoring a time to reflect and let go.
During the service College leaders hammered the red
notes onto a cross. Benson Heintze and Ariel Heinrich
encouraged the audience to leave their burdens at the
cross forever, making room for something new.

He also shared some of the spiritual symbolism within
the building including the locally sourced stones within

be there for the opening of the middle school building
in which my daughter Poppy is an inaugural student.
We feel incredibly blessed to share in the history of the
school in this capacity.’

FUTURE PATHWAYS
YEAR 12 PRESENTATION ON
JOBS OF THE FUTURE
Trish Cirillo - Pathways Coordinator
On Monday the 4 of March, The University of Adelaide
commenced their Regional Tour of schools. The
Year 12 students had the opportunity to attend a
presentation of emerging industry themes, related
jobs and courses that enable students to pursue those
possibilities.
The two presenters, Angelika and Kahlia discussed
the themes of Health Technology, Assistive Robots,
Machine Learning, Blockchain Systems and Creative
Design. They also discussed the emerging jobs, which
was very interesting.
The presenters also
discussed the new
courses introduced
at the university in
order to support
these themes and
interestingly they
spoke of how courses
focus on developing
skills that are suitable
to all occupations and flexible from one workplace
to another. Many students were surprised by the
comment made by one presenter that all courses lead
to many occupations apart from the one they are
studying for and that no study is wasted.
Transferable skills and travel are a focus of courses
offered at all universities and we too value these skills
at Faith.
At the end of the presentation, students had the
opportunity to collect course brochures and ask
individual questions of the presenters. It was a well-
attended and informative presentation.

WINES VINTAGE REPORT
Bob Mitchell Learning Area Coordinator,
Agriculture
On Monday 18 February Marianne Nelson’s class went
to the Duck’s Flat vineyard of St Hallett Wines. They
generously gave us access to pick as much Semillon
as we required. Students handpicked 1 Tonne of fruit
between recess and lunch and had the parcel of fruit
crushed and pressed by the end of the school day.       Duck Flat Semillon harvest
On Wednesday 27th February, a 2 Tonne load of
Sauvignon Blanc was generously delivered to the
College, by donors Shane and Leanne Kraft who own
the vineyard across the road from the Faith Senior
Campus. The fruit was machine harvested late Tuesday
night ready for Mr Mitchell’s class to crush and press
by 1.00 pm on Wednesday.
On Friday 1st March, 29 keen and eager students met
at the Bethany vineyard of David and Kathy Liersch at
6.30 am for an early start to hand pick some short rows
in the contour planted block of Riesling. The Liersch’s
have generously donated fruit from this block over the Liersch Riesling Block at Bethany photographed by a drone
last 10 years. After a challenging week of 37 degrees
plus days, the fruit stood up remarkably well. Picking
was relatively easy due to the light canopy and crop
yield.
The students also had the opportunity to view a
trailed machine harvester in operation and witnessed
how challenging a tight, contour planted block was to
harvest. A Faith bus carried students back to the Faith
Wine Education Centre to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast
before crushing and pressing the 1 Tonne of Riesling.
Our white crush is nearly finished apart from a 1 Tonne
parcel of Eden Valley Riesling donated by Fechner
Holdings of Angaston. All fruit is ripening fast and we
expect to start are red crush beginning with Shiraz

On Tuesday 5th of March we were visited by Helen

tour secondary schools all around Australia delivering
hands-on STEM workshops focussing on innovative
design thinking, testing and refining ideas. Faith was
their last stop on their tour before they returned to
Canberra, so we were very fortunate to have them
touring in our region.
                                                                      Lily Johnson and Matilda Collett
All year 9 students participated in the “Wind Tunnel”
workshop in which they were faced with the challenge
of designing an object which would fly the highest and
hover the longest in a wind tunnel. Students designed
both digital and practical prototypes using different
materials and had the opportunity to test and refine
their designs.
They had great fun testing their prototypes, they were
challenged creatively and demonstrated tenacity in the
process of refining of their prototypes. It was a great
opportunity for them to step outside of the classroom
and enjoy Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
in a different setting.

LUTHERAN SCHOOLS - OPEN DAYS
DID YOU KNOW?
Each year Faith welcomes students from over 20 public and Lutheran primary schools from the Barossa and
beyond? As the only ELC - Year 12 Lutheran school in the region, we work closely with our neighbouring schools to
welcome students at all stages of their educational journey.

WHAT MAKES A LUTHERAN SCHOOL SPECIAL?
We call it the ‘L’ Factor…
As young people grow and learn, they are influenced by family, friends, media and their school. As leaders we
believe that young people who have experienced a Lutheran education have the ‘L’ factor…… the ‘Lutheran’ factor.
Not only are these students identifiable because of their love of learning, but because of their social, emotional
and spiritual awareness. Graduates of Lutheran schools are ‘world ready’ and often demonstrate compassion,
service, love for others, confidence and a desire to make a difference in their world.
It is that time of year that many of our neighbouring schools are hosting Open Days and tours. If you would like to
find out more about the ‘L’ Factor, you may wish to consider attending one in your area…

                                         KeepCup Fundraiser
         The SOLE (Sustainable Outdoor Learning Environments) Program at the TLS Campus aims to increase
         environmental awareness and sustainable practices within the school and provides opportunities to bring
         learning outdoors. As part of our efforts for a waste free community, we are holding a KeepCup Fundraiser.
         The money raised will be used to improve our program with the creation of a “SOLE Shed” where students
         can build, create and explore. This shed will be used to teach woodworking and gardening in both electives
         and class time.

         KeepCups are available in the medium size (340ml) in both Original (BPA free plastic) and Brew (glass).
         Designs are shown below and will include the Faith logo printed in white on the band. You can also purchase
         reusable stainless steel straws so the cups can be used for iced coffee, smoothies or juices.

         Please have your forms filled out and returned to Student Services by 22 nd March 2019. KeepCups are
         expected to arrive early in Term 2.

                                                             Original (340ml)                                     Brew (340ml)
