Easter Fest 2024

Our Easter Fest celebration united students, parents and staff, filling our campus with the warmth of shared faith and fellowship.

Heartfelt chapel services became the cornerstone of our celebration, where we gathered together to honour and reflect upon the profound sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Students captivated audiences with impressive performances, showcasing their talents with grace and enthusiasm. Exquisite artwork transformed our campus into a gallery, with each work of art intricately capturing the significance of Easter and this year's Cross and Crown theme.

Beyond the performances and artwork, Easter Fest fostered fellowship and community, encouraging students to explore their faith and share their gifts with others as we celebrated the transformative power of the redeeming love of Jesus Christ and the promise of eternal life that He has bestowed upon us.

Thank you to everyone who joined in the festivities and celebrated with us. Your presence made Easter Fest truly special. May this season be a time of renewal, hope, and joy, and may God's blessings be upon you all.

Year 1 Explore History

+50

Year 1 students had a blast exploring the past in their recent history incursion. The unique experience took students on a hands-on journey through time as they explored a treasure trove of relics from the past. There was a typewriter, rotary dial phone, spinning tops and even an abacus.

The room was filled with excitement and wonder as our Year 1 students interacted with the numerous vintage items. The History incursion was more than just a history lesson. Students were active participants, learning about and engaging with relics that once played vital roles in the daily life of the past.

Year 2 Encounter Minibeasts

+46

Our Year 2 cohort had the exciting opportunity to explore the miniature wonders of God's creation in a Minibeast incursion hosted by Wild Rangers Wildlife on Friday, 8 March.

Students delighted in the hands-on experience of exploring the incredible diversity of minibeasts, allowing them to meet a stick insect, millipede, scorpion, huntsman spider and giant burrowing cockroach up close. A special highlight for many students was an encounter with a Tawny Frogmouth. They were able to pat it and were captivated as it gobbled up some mealworms.

The presentation was not only a fun and engaging way for the students to learn about minibeasts, but it also helped foster a deeper appreciation for the pivotal role these creatures play in our intricate ecosystem.

Primary Culture Assembly

+23

Commencing the Culture Assembly, our choir performed a powerful rendition of the National Anthem. Mr Peter Fossey introduced primary students to the lyrics of the King's Christian College song. Accompanied by the choir, the auditorium transformed into a collective chorus, with students singing along, expressing our school's ethos and shared journey in song. The choir delighted the audience with a heartfelt performance of 'My Redeemer Lives,' celebrating the promise of salvation for believers.

During the assembly, students were awarded age champion titles from the swimming carnival, recognising their achievements in the pool.

Finally, Mr. Gavin Andrews reminded students of our core cultural values — Belong, Believe, and Become. As stewards of these values, students are encouraged to find safety and belonging in God's love, grow in wisdom as they follow God's purpose, and become responsible servant-leaders.
