Acknowledgements

The creation of each year’s Kaleidoscope is a collaborative effort, made possible by the dedication and talent of many individuals within our college community.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the staff and students who have generously contributed their time and skills to ensure the success of this year's edition. I am especially grateful to our creative and photographic team - Mitchell Booth, Charlotte McCullough, Chloe Mpala, Alex Scott, Melissa Tolhurst, and Wes Tolhurst of Tolhurst Creative - whose vision and expertise have been invaluable.

As I reflect on 2024, I continue to be amazed at what has been accomplished since King’s Christian College started in 1980

Many things have changed over the years, including new campuses, new facilities, new staff members, new education methods and new leadership

What has not changed is the commitment to our mission statement, “Educating students in Christian leadership for tomorrow’s generation” What this means is educating from a Christian worldview and focusing on developing the character of our students so they can make a significant contribution to our community

King’s provides our students with many and varied opportunities to grow in character as they journey from our Early Learning Centre through to graduating in Year 12 Our education, sport, Christian living, performing arts, extra-curricular, cultural, leadership and missions programs are all designed to help our students become all God has called them to be

Of course, these programs would not be successful without the commitment and passion of our incredible staff I am continually impressed with their dedication to our students and the genuine care they provide to them

Mr Rees Davis Executive Principal

Educating for the future

Recently I had the opportunity to hear Professor C Brooks from Harvard Business School talk about one of his research areas in leadership - getting happier in an unhappy world

Professor Brooks is a noted speaker and a noted church man� His research indicates that rather than working on not being unhappy, that happiness comes from elements of enjoyment, satisfaction and meaning, and these are underpinned by habits associated with faith, family, friends and meaningful work His research is talking about long-term happiness rather than seeking to avoid unhappiness Indeed, he says that much meaning in life springs from things that could be called unhappy, such as hard work, perseverance and forgiveness To him, cultivating good attitudes and habits is what leads to happiness

We also must give thanks to God for what he is doing in and through King’s There are many bible verses that speak about gratitude and thankfulness, and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 is among my favourites;

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”.

On behalf of the board, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who makes the King’s community so special and take this opportunity to wish you all a blessed Christmas season

As a school, we are blessed with our extraordinary staff Good attitudes and habits can be taught, but they are more caught from people we respect We are blessed to have staff who model good attitudes and habits I am so pleased with the accomplishments of our students across our three campuses I would like to thank all our staff for their hard work and wish all families every happiness and success over Christmas and into the New Year�

Campus Principal

Mr Russell Meyers Campus Principal

As we reflect on another remarkable year at our College, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for our vibrant Christian community Our mission - ‘Educating students in Christian Leadership for tomorrow’s generation’ - guides every decision we make and every opportunity we create It is this commitment that shapes our students into not only outstanding scholars but also compassionate leaders who are ready to impact the world

We continually strive to foster an environment where every student can realise their God-given potential� We believe that each individual is uniquely created with gifts and talents, and our role is to nurture these qualities Through extended opportunities in spiritual growth, leadership, service, academics, sports, performing arts, and a wide array of extracurricular activities, we empower our students to explore their passions and develop their God-given giftings

The achievements of our students this year have been extraordinary� From academic awards to sports championships and stunning performances in the arts, they have truly excelled Yet, as proud as I am of these accomplishments, I am even more inspired by the tangible growth I have witnessed in their character as Christian leaders Each day, I see students stepping up to serve others, embracing challenges with resilience, and demonstrating integrity in their actions These qualities reflect our mission and affirm that we are preparing our students not just for their next steps in education but for their lifelong journeys as leaders�

As we continue on this journey together, I am reminded of Philippians 4:13, which states, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me ” This scripture encapsulates our commitment to nurturing the whole child - mind, body, and spirit, while empowering them to tackle any challenge ahead

Let us keep encouraging one another as we cultivate an environment of spiritual growth, leadership, and service

College Culture

Mr Thomas Bristow-Wilson

Deputy Head of Primary - Culture

The King’s Pledge

I am a child of God, and I belong at King’s. I believe in Jesus and all the good He brings. With God’s guidance, I become who He calls me to be. To Learn, to Live, to Love and to Lead.

The College’s Foundational Values and the 3 B’s (Belong, Believe, & Become) underpin everything we do here at King’s Christian College, serving as the essential ingredient in developing a positive school culture.

This year, we have been deeply committed to recalibrating our College Culture with our students and reaffirming our principles, where students: “Are SAFE (BELONG), choose WISELY (BELIEVE), and take RESPONSIBILITY (BECOME).”

These values have been integrated into our curriculum and celebrated during class gatherings, year-level and Honours assemblies, and even via our new ‘King’s Pledge’ (thank you, Mrs. Harwood), where we introduced this new common language to the whole school. Our school’s focus remains steadfast on promoting and celebrating students who exemplify Christ-like values.

During the year, we have amended the Restorative Thinking Classroom (RTC) in our Primary School. The RTC is a space that provides a safe and conducive environment for learning, free from disruptive behavior. Here, students engage in 1-on-1 conversations with staff members to develop their self-discipline and reflect on their actions. At King’s Christian College, we are dedicated to equipping students with practical and biblical strategies for resolving conflicts and restoring relationships, which are fundamental to our disciplinary approach.

At King’s Christian College, our greatest joy stems from celebrating the successes of our students and the achievements of our college community. We take pride in publicly recognising these accomplishments through awards presented at relevant assemblies and through the use of King’s Coins, which symbolise excellence and effort.

Each year culminates in the highly anticipated awarding of the Principal’s Cup to the house that has accumulated the most House Points, accompanied by a memorable and exciting reward. As we approach the end of 2024, we eagerly anticipate seeing if this year marks the end of Tyndale’s dominance.

Working at such a remarkable school is a true privilege and blessing. Throughout this year, I have enjoyed collaborating with dedicated teachers and supportive parents to foster a safe and nurturing environment where students can thrive and fulfil their God-given potential.

Mrs Karley Lonsdale

Deputy Head of High School - Culture

At King’s, we view a vibrant school culture as the heartbeat of our community, deeply influencing how students connect with one another and their environment. Our aim is to live out our foundational values of love, service, and purpose, creating a nurturing space where these principles are evident in daily interactions.

This year, we have reinforced our commitment to a culture grounded in biblical understanding of love and leadership. Love, as exemplified by Jesus and described in 1 Corinthians 13, is central to our approach. We strive to foster a safe and supportive environment where every member feels a sense of belonging and is encouraged to make wise decisions and take responsibility, growing together as a community.

Our students have actively participated in numerous enriching experiences that reflect these values:

Student Leadership: Expanding leadership roles to Years 8, 10, and 12, preparing students for future responsibilities. We are pleased to see increased student involvement and growth through these expanded opportunities.

Student Council: Empowering students to lead with integrity by spearheading student-led projects that enhance the school environment.

Leadership Conferences: Providing essential skills and knowledge through events like the Compass Student Leadership Conference, Bible Masterclass, Hillsong, and Bond University Leadership Day, preparing students for effective and ethical leadership.

Mission Trips: Offering hands-on service experiences locally and internationally, allowing students to engage in outreach, strengthen their faith, and build confidence.

LIFE Team Service: Encouraging active student participation in service projects that benefit our school and local community.

School Camps: Supporting personal growth, teamwork, and resilience through experiential learning, with a focus on relationship-building and impactful devotion times.

Chapels and Assemblies: Facilitating gospel sharing and discipleship to support students’ spiritual and personal development.

Pastoral Care Classes: Creating a loving environment to build Christlike character, develop healthy relationships, and enhance leadership skills.

We look forward to further enhancing our school culture with your support, empowering students to realize their potential and grow into compassionate leaders. Thank you for your essential role in our community.

Chaplaincy

Mr Peter Malcolm Campus Pastor

2024 will be remembered as a very successful year for our school chaplains, with many students making great strides in their spiritual journey, developing their faith and walking with Christ more closely than ever before. We attribute this success to four things: firstly and most importantly, the favour of God and His answer to prayer; secondly, the support and backing of the college board and staff and their belief in the importance of our work; the brilliant leadership of our Year Twelve students and their impact across the college and, finally, the unity and synergy within our team itself. As Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” I am so honoured to lead such a motivated, talented, and supportive team as together we disciple young people and watch them passionately pursue Jesus.

This year’s highlights included the camp devotion evenings across the year levels from three to twelve, lunchtime programs and worship mornings, the Hillsong and Mission trips, and many more. Our weekly chapels consistently delivered solid teaching from God’s Word around appropriate content for every age/stage, along with student worship bands. Together, we are advancing God’s kingdom and raising up Christian leaders for tomorrow’s generation!

LIFE Program

Mrs Debbie Meyers LIFE Program Coordinator

The LIFE program is student-led and created to help build the King’s, local and international communities through various fundraising events and projects. Students are given the opportunity to practically apply our school values of Learn, Live, Love and Lead.

The LIFE Team is a community where students from Year 4 – Year 12 can come together to build friendships, have fun, develop new skills and grow in leadership.

LIFE even has its own student Media Team where students learn to use various forms of media to help promote Life and other school-based events and programs.

The foundational scripture which sums up the heart of LIFE is found in 1 John 3 :18

“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

Here are some testimonies from students who have been instrumental in the growth of the LIFE program:

“Being in the Life Media Team gave me a strong sense of belonging and connection with like-minded people. It also helped me grow my creative skills, allowing me to explore and express my artistic passions with confidence and support.”

Billie Burton – Year 12 LIFE Leader in the Media Team

“The LIFE team has been a major part of my high school experience as I joined in Year 8 and am now about to be the 2025 Vice LIFE Captain. Through these years, the LIFE community has grown my heart to serve and helped me in my walk of Christianity as well as the amazing opportunities to serve consistently, making me realise my love for volunteering with these incredible charities”.

Layla Pigdon – Vice Life Captain 2025

“When I first joined the LIFE team, it was like I was entering a whole new world! A whole new world of teamwork, inspiration, and opportunities to help the world’s needs because a lot of the world is less fortunate than us. So, it is a blessing to be able to help and change the whole world and make it a better place! That is what the life team has shown me this year, and I am looking forward to helping for more years to come!”

Charlotte Middleton – Year 5 LIFE Leader 2024

“I’ve been a part of the LIFE team for 4 years now, and I love it. There’s such a rich connection and willingness to serve within all the members, and it’s very refreshing to feel as if we are making an impact. Every time I hear how much money was raised or people helped, I feel a spark of joy. I think, ‘It’s crazy how a few students can help make another person’s life just that little bit better’. It’s become more than a community service team to me - the LIFE team feels like a second home.”

Lita Rajasekaran – Year 10 LIFE Captain

Missions

Roma

In April 2024, 22 spirited Year 12 students embarked on an unforgettable journey to Roma, accompanied by their dedicated teachers, Mr Miles, Mr Hales & Mr Taylor and chaplains Solomon, Meg and Zoe. The mission trip, a blend of service and faith, was not just a venture into the heart of Roma but also into the heart of community and self-discovery.

The students immersed themselves in various activities in partnership with Ps Shane Wallis and Life Church. Designed to serve the local community and foster personal growth. They kicked off with the ‘Kool Kids Fun Day’, where over 30 children revelled in games and crafts, their laughter echoing the joy of our students. A leadership workshop with Mr Miles honed their skills, preparing them to be tomorrow’s changemakers.

The ‘King’s Kulture Youth Gathering’ was a highlight, with students connecting with Roma’s youth through music and messages of faith, while the Life Church service saw them lead worship and share heartfelt testimonies. They didn’t shy away from getting their hands dirty either, refurbishing the Life Church Cafe and sprucing up the church facilities with fresh paint.

Amidst serving, there was time for exploration, too. The students soaked in the local culture, visiting landmarks like The Big Rig and Roma’s iconic Bottle Tree.

St George

From Wednesday 12th to Monday 16th of September, two staff, two chaplains, and nineteen Year 10 students travelled by bus to St George. St George is about six hours due west of the Gold Coast. We stayed at two different locations this year, the Anglican Church and Harvest Point. They were very accommodating, and we did some community service work for them, such as cleaning windows and weeding their gardens.

We served breakfast for two local high schools, one being Thallon SHS and the other St George. After breakfast, the students enjoyed playing games and sports such as volleyball and AFL.

We also supported King’s St George with rehearsals for Saints Fest on Friday night and the church service on Sunday morning. One of our students also read the prayers for the Anglican service early Sunday morning. Some highlights include the student-led devotions each evening and the worship service we held on Sunday night at King’s. The talks were very edifying and encouraging and many people were prayed for, and their needs met.

We discovered the local swimming centre had a water slide which allowed for some fun and relaxation; the blue slide was faster than the green one, and a very warm thermal pool, which a number of us enjoyed for a good hour or so, to warm up after the slides!

Overall, it went very smoothly; many thanks to our ‘cook’, who came on board at the last minute. Another memorable feature was when we walked along the Ballone riverbank and finished with a BBQ.

The services at King’s, Friday night, Sunday morning and evening were a special highlight as we were able to boost their numbers, virtually doubling what they are used to, and I do not doubt that Pastors Nathan and Kirsty appreciated the enthusiasm of the youth and the extra fellowship they had over that weekend.

“The youth, church and worship night were my favourite part because I felt like that was when God moved the most.”

Thomas Swanepoel

“My favourite thing I did on this trip was visiting the primary and high schools as I enjoy connecting and playing with kids and I felt happy that we made their days.”

Olivia Kyne

“I really enjoyed volunteering at Saints Fest and getting to know the youth out at St George. It was also fun spending time getting to know the team when we would hang out at the pool and on the long bus trips.”

Thailand

The 2024 Thailand Mission Trip to Chiang Rai was a resounding success, fostering leadership, faith, and compassion in our students. Partnering with Lenore Dickson and the Rescue Mission for Children (RMFC), we worked with stateless Akha hill tribe children to combat human trafficking and preserve their cultural heritage. This transformative experience deepened students’ faith and gratitude, giving them a new appreciation for life in Australia and God’s goodness worldwide. Our students embraced the opportunity to serve, share Jesus, and grow personally, stepping out of their comfort zones to make a lasting impact at RMFC.

We also completed valuable projects like medical checkups, painting, repairs, and gardening, contributing to the welfare of the children. Additionally, the Life Program fundraiser and generous donations, such as pencils and other supplies, were immensely appreciated and immediately used, making a tangible difference in the children’s lives.

“Our time spent in Thailand was nothing short of life-changing. So many of us formed such powerful bonds with so many of the kids, more powerful than I think a lot of us expected – when it was time to go, there wasn’t a single dry eye amongst the group. From the moment we arrived, we were incredibly blessed with the kids’ beautifully loving hearts and hugs and made to feel so welcome.

Devotions each morning and night were really impactful. Seeing how wholeheartedly the children at the mission praise God despite their circumstances was inspiring for many of us. Having the privilege of being able to pray for some of the community in a local Akha church was also something I don’t think any of us will forget.

We were able to serve at the Rescue Mission through gardening, painting and assisting in any tasks that needed to be done whilst the kids were at school. Once they were home though, we could be doing anything from skipping, soccer, ping pong or doing jigsaws with the kids. To be so explicitly shown the joy possible in the simplest of moments was probably one of the greatest takeaways from the trip – many of us would find our cheeks sore at the end of the day from smiling so much.

The connections we formed with each other were also really special. It was cool to see how being in such an unfamiliar environment drew out the best in so many of us, and it was amazing to get to know the different sides of one another – including the teachers. As a team, we’re incredibly grateful for such an opportunity and can’t wait to live out all the teachings the experience taught us!”

Yarrabah

From September 7-11, our team of 12 visited Australia’s largest Indigenous town, located about an hour’s drive south of Cairns.

We began with a cultural experience, joining students from the AFL boarding house to immerse ourselves in Aboriginal culture. We enjoyed freshly caught food and concluded with a traditional Kup Murray dinner, cooked underground.

During a traditional service in Cairns, we worshipped alongside our Aboriginal brothers and sisters in Christ, a profoundly beautiful experience unlike any service we had attended before. Later, we led the evening service and organized activities for local children, giving away toys and playing together. Our team opened the altar for prayer, and nearly the entire congregation came forward. The following day, we heard testimonies of healing, and several people made first-time commitments or rededicated their lives to Jesus, praying the ‘sinner’s prayer’.

We also had the opportunity to create screen-printed shirts designed by talented Aboriginal artists. While some of our group led a women’s discipleship gathering, sharing stories, prayers, and fellowship over lunch, others went door-to-door delivering free bread and milk and praying for people. Several came to the church seeking healing and spiritual support. Two young men gave their lives to Jesus and prayed the sinner’s prayer. To celebrate, we enjoyed a day of snorkelling and reflecting on the incredible experiences we had been blessed to be part of.

This trip offered our students a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of Aboriginal culture and grow spiritually, as each had the chance to step out in faith and use their gifts to pray for others from a different cultural background.

“Yarrabah was an incredible trip that allowed us to grow individually and as a team and bless the community’s people. I loved serving people of all ages, from the kids in the town to the church elders. We were able to genuinely help and serve the community physically and spiritually, an experience I am so grateful to have had.

One of the best opportunities from the trip was to listen to the stories of some of the women in the community and respond to them in prayer. As well as this, I experienced several moments that appeared coincidental but could only have been illustrated by God. We also experienced some great moments as a team on the reef on our ‘fun day’ and through our time together in travel and mealtimes. Overall, it was an amazing and worthwhile experience and allowed me to understand what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a community so different to my own.”

Zoe Peach

“We are so grateful in this part of the country for everything we have, and yes, they have houses and a few things, but that’s about it. One little basic store and a church and not too much else. Spiritually, I loved this trip; I loved going out into the community, which is a big thing on my heart, not just bringing them in but going out like Jesus tells us to. Being able to help out in the service we ran and pray for people are things I love to do and so being able to do them at Yarrabah was so gratifying for me. Seeing how much of an effect we had on many of their lives I will never forget. And I will most certainly be going back one way or another. Luke 6:38: “Give, and it shall be given unto you...” I had a feeling that the trip would be great, but little did I know that by serving others and helping their community, I benefitted greatly. Thank you for the opportunity for this trip to happen. I, along with the whole team, were so blessed by it.”

Personal Development Tours

K’gari

During mission week, Year 10 and Year 11 boys from King’s Christan College embarked on a transformatve personal and spiritual development trip to K’gari (Fraser Island). The adventure was filled with stunning natural beauty as the group explored iconic spots like Lake Mackenzie, Lake Wabby, Eli Creek, and the famous Champagne Pools. These locations provided a perfect backdrop for reflection, bonding, and discovery as the boys immersed themselves in the island’s unique landscapes and rich environment.

One of the trip’s highlights was the weekly fishing competition, where the boys showed great skill and determination. Many of them enjoyed the friendly rivalry as they competed to reel in the biggest catch, making the experience both rewarding and fun. In addition to the physical challenges, the boys also experienced significant spiritual growth through daily morning and evening devotions. These times of worship and study provided opportunities for the students to deepen their knowledge of God and strengthen their personal relationship with Him.

The most encouraging aspect of the trip, however, came during the evening campfires. As the boys gathered around the flames, they were given the chance to share their personal growth stories and reflect on how the trip had impacted them. Many spoke of newfound perspectives on faith and friendship, and the vulnerability and honesty shared around the fire created a deep sense of community. This time of open conversation allowed the boys to grow closer to one another and to God, making the trip a truly unforgettable experience.

Hillsong Conference

Attending this year’s Hillsong conference was a transformative experience for our school community, particularly for our students. The worship sessions were a standout highlight, fostering a sense of unity among staff and students alike. Our Year 12 students, who attended the Young & Free event, expressed how impactful it was, effectively balancing their main conference sessions.

The trip provided invaluable opportunities for our Christian students to connect across different year levels, promoting a wonderful camaraderie, especially between our KTTC and high school students. Late-night gatherings at McDonald’s became cherished moments for building friendships and strengthening bonds between schools.

Notably, several students new to Christianity participated, witnessing the power of corporate worship for the first time. The overall experience was incredibly positive and something we hope to continue in the future.

For Year 11 student Abi Lewczuk-Davie, the trip catalyzed personal and collective spiritual growth. She felt God speaking to her profoundly, urging her cohort to share His light within their school community. The encounter ignited a spirit of revival among the Year 11s, leading to heartfelt discussions about their dreams for Kings Christian College and how to enhance its Christian culture.

The unity and discipleship formed during the trip were evident as students shared highlights and prayed for one another. Abi noted how their collective hunger for God’s presence deepened their connection and commitment. The fire ignited at Hillsong continues to burn brightly, inspiring the cohort as they look forward to what God has in store for them in this new season.

Extreme Conference

“Leading up to the Extreme Conference, I had heard great things about it. I heard that the worship was amazing, leaders would be formed, and the Holy Spirit would move powerfully. Little did I know that my expectations would be far surpassed within the first two days. After taking a plane to Mackay, staying at Mackay Christian College with the team was amazing. We were able to grow so much as a team throughout those few days. We could share meals and stories and grow closer to the Mackay community. We all had an excitement and a hunger for God to move at this Extreme conference, and every single person who partook in this trip could say that their lives were changed in some way or another.

The first night session of the conference was absolutely amazing; their worship team had made original songs that touched many of our hearts. Seeing my friends get closer to God as they were being prayed for warmed my heart as I had longed for some of them to know Him deeper. The following few days were absolutely amazing. The worship, the sermons, and prayer were all some of my favourite parts of the conference. The Extreme team let the Holy Spirit have His will and this resulted in people being set free, growing closer to him, and growing closer to each other. The King’s students were even able to hear some wise words from the person who started the Extreme conference, Ps Ben Naitoko.

Looking back on this trip, I am so grateful that I was able to come to the conference and with the amazing people I went with. This trip was so beneficial for so many of us, and we felt like family to many of those in Mackay. I will most certainly be coming back next year as this trip was astoundingly significant in the continuation of growing our faith as Christians.”

Student Leaders

College Captains (Culture)

The year of legacy has seen King’s Culture thrive and grow in countless ways, fuelled by the vision and actions of a passionate student body. As Student Culture Leaders, it makes us so proud to see how the college community has been enriched over this last year through the efforts of our peers around us, who serve and volunteer their own time to participate in shared initiatives, whether it be hosting and running assemblies, serving on Student Council, participating in missions or welcoming those arriving at Noah’s Ark and the Primary School in the mornings.

This year, in particular, has offered us many opportunities for leadership development, including going to the Compass Conference in Canberra, where we were able to meet and learn with Christian student leaders from all over the country. Upon returning, it became our shared goal to do our part to influence our King’s culture for the better. We’ve enjoyed many opportunities to represent our school at various King’s and wider community events such as Honours and ANZAC services, building openings, or visits to the Primary School. We have welcomed these new experiences and enjoyed focussing on encouraging the many inspirational King’s kids who are making a difference, especially through their involvement in the Student Council. We are confident that this momentum will continue in the College community long after we have graduated.

The LIFE team encourages and supports King’s and the wider community through service. Our ‘three Cs’ keep us working together – commitment, communication and compassion. Commitment: we’re a team and show up for each other, which motivates the camaraderie of the community. Communication: we’ve learned not only to check our emails but also to check in on our friends and keep relationships strong during busy times. Compassion: everything we do is based on 1 John 3:18 - Let us not love with words or speech but with action and in truth. Compassion with action is our motivation - practically showing the love of Jesus and living our King’s foundational values.

The LIFE team is involved in many activities, but the Day of Hope is one close to our hearts and truly embodies who we are. This celebration fundraises for 100% HOPE in Uganda and brings our whole school community together. So many students participate in this day through multicultural performances, running the sausage sizzle, hosting or media, serving the community and growing in leadership. Our students’ passion has inspired us as they have stepped out this year, growing in faith and leadership in the process. The servant-heartedness we’ve seen has been the highlight of the LIFE experience.

“If you had told me in 2021 that I would become an Executive Captain at my new school, I would have never believed you” - Bethany. Here’s the thing about God’s plan; He equips and sustains those He calls. Serving as Chapel Captains has required a dedication to daily connect with and serve our school community while living our lives to glorify God. Whether it be organising chapels, singing, speaking, mentoring or just showing up every week for Chapel Band in the morning or Zeal at lunchtime, it’s amazing how God has moved when we have been faithful with the little things.

We started small, kicking off with worship mornings in the HUB. It wasn’t long until we were hosting Mega Chapel, collaborating with other schools to bless our 85+ peers who attended. Our student leadership group grew closer at the Compass Conference in Canberra, learning from speakers and fellow student leaders. However, the most special moments have happened through the everyday moments. We’ve enjoyed our involvement in chapel, Zeal and prayer mornings and seen these flourish beyond anything we could have imagined. This reminds us of Galatians 6:9, “So, let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessings if we don’t give up.” As the torch is passed to the next group of leaders, we pray that our students will continue drawing near God and each other.

Year 3 Sleepover

This year’s sleepover was one of the most fun things we did in Term 4. The first thing we did during the sleepover was to pitch our tents, this wasn’t the most fun part of the evening, but it was still fun. Some students stayed with their mums, and some stayed with their dads.

After that we had dinner, it was Subway and it was delicious. Then it was games time! I played Tic-tac-toe and Checkers with my mum. Some kids played basketball, and some played at their tents.

Chapel was great; we did praise and worship, dancing and singing without the chairs being set up. After that, Ps. Shane preached about Zacchaeus and the good choices he made and also about the importance of the Golden Rule – treat others how you would treat yourself. Mum and I went on stage to be a part of the game show.

Then we watched a movie – it was ‘The Star’. We watched it outdoors in the amphitheatre and had popcorn. When it was dark, some students played spotlight on the fields with their torches. Then Mrs Smith rang the bell for bedtime.

We all slept in our tents. In the morning, it was light quite early. We woke up and went to the coffee van to get breakfast – muffins and pastries. We packed up our tents and went home after breakfast. It was a really great camp experience.

Year 4 Camp

During Term 3, the Year 4 students headed to Tallebudgera to attend the Year 4 camp at Burleigh CYC.

On the first day, we went stand-up paddle boarding to Crab Island, exploring for crabs and playing on the sand before paddling back. The second day featured ‘The Amazing Race’ at Palm Beach, where we completed six team challenges, followed by bodyboarding. On the final day, we did Initiative Games at Tallebudgera Creek, tackling three team activities. (by Sammy)

On the second day, I made a new friend, Annalee, during paddle boarding. She was nervous about Crab Island, so I stayed close to support her. This is one way to forge new friendships at camp! (by Isabel)

The first night’s devotions involved ‘camper of the day’ and learning about Jesus through the WOOP method: Wish, Outcome, Obstacles, and Plan. On the second night, separated into boys and girls, we explored our spiritual WOOP. With Chaplain Shane’s guidance, we ordered books of the Bible, initially struggling but ultimately succeeding with a solid plan. (by Rafferty)

Camp meals included watermelon and cake bites for morning tea on the first day, sausage rolls for lunch, and delicious butter chicken for dinner. The second day’s breakfast was eggs, beans, and sausage, with wraps for lunch and pasta bolognese for dinner. On the final day, breakfast featured pancakes with ice cream—yum! (by Elijah)

Upon arrival, we were introduced to our cabins, each with a bathroom and bunk beds. We had to work together to make our beds and decide who was on the top and bottom. We stored our suitcases under the beds and kept toothbrushes by the sink. (by Jason)

Year 5 Camp

Sugar gliding, beach games, delicious food, awesome devotions and connecting with friends. These were some of the wonderful things that we experienced at the Year 5 camp this year.

This year, the Year 5 students enjoyed an incredible camp at Alexandra Park, Sunshine Coast. Our camp was supported by our wonderful Year 5 Teachers, Chaplains and Leaders. Over the three days, Year 5 students engaged in a variety of activities. The most popular activities, as voted by the students, were sugar gliding, as students felt the thrill of flying, then onto beach games for fun in the sun and archery. Other activities we enjoyed were rock climbing, body boarding and canoeing.

Another important aspect of camp was our amazing devotions led by our Chaplains. On our first night, the boys and girls were split into separate groups to remind ourselves of the importance of supporting each other, and on the second night, we were reminded of the power of our words and their impact on our lives.

Throughout the camp days and nights, we were blessed with delicious food, wonderful devotions, time with friends and amazing memories to fondly remember the Year 5 Camp for 2024.

Year 6 Camp

In Week 3 of Term 4, our Year 6 students embarked on an unforgettable adventure in the tropical paradise of Cairns. The camp aimed to strengthen friendships and offer the chance to marvel at God’s creation… and it delivered in every way!

Their action-packed week featured a journey on the Kuranda Scenic Railway through the World Heritage-listed rainforest, a thrilling ride at Rainforestation Nature Park aboard a World War II amphibious DUKW, and encounters with native wildlife. At Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures, they came face-to-face with crocodiles and koalas, while a visit to Cairns Aquarium revealed the wonders of the reef. The highlight was definitely a day at the Great Barrier Reef, where students snorkelled among vibrant coral and marine life, spotted turtles and sharks from a semi-submersible glass-bottom boat, and learned about the reef’s mysteries from a Marine Biologist.

Evenings were reserved for reflection and spiritual growth, with Chaplains leading devotions and worship sessions that deepened their faith, allowing time and space to connect with God. It was heartwarming to see so many young lives transformed in these moments, as our students replaced their negative, self-imposed labels, with the love Jesus has for them.

The 2024 Cairns expedition was about so much more than breathtaking sights. It was a lifechanging experience that fostered new faith, friendships, courage, and unity, preparing the students for their upcoming high school journey. Thank you to our King’s teachers and camp coordinators for making this possible!

“The Aquarium was an experience for the five senses. Many of us were surprised by the beautiful sounds of the ocean’s animals. It revealed a whole world under the sea. The tanks were as deep as the sky is high, filled with fascinating creatures. Hartley’s Crocodile Farm was epic. Fun Fact: Hartley’s has 10,000 animals, and 1000 of them are crocodiles. Feedback from our peers has shown that most people’s highlight from the crocodile farm was seeing all the abstract animals in this majestic place. Cairns is as close to paradise as it gets.

Nighttime devotions were the standout of camp. The sound of worship was only one sign that the presence of God was there in that room. Thank you, Chappies, for teaching us how to dive in. You were preaching the Word of God, and that is OUTSTANDING! Even though we put the snorkel, goggles and flippers on for snorkelling, we also need to put them on in our lives, and you guys taught us that. We are grateful for the prayers you prayed over us and for guiding us in the direction of God. Thanks to you guys, we feel like we know God better than we did.”

Year 7 Camp

Our Year 7 students embarked on an enriching camp experience at Alexandra Park Conference Centre on the Sunshine Coast, from 4-6 March. The Year 7 camp is a particularly significant milestone, bringing the cohort together off campus for the first time as High Schoolers. Our camp activities provide many opportunities for students to face physical, emotional, and spiritual growth while encouraging social interaction with their peers.

At King’s, camps serve as a cornerstone of our ethos, facilitating moments for students to forge deeper connections with both their peers and their faith. During their three-day adventure on the Sunshine Coast, our Year 7 students engaged in a variety of thrilling activities and team-building exercises. Highlights included exhilarating challenges like raft building, archery and high ropes. The spirit of camaraderie was especially evident in the House challenges including human-hungry hippos, the fun team relay, House Battle capture the Flag and tug-a-War. In a fiercely contested competition, Rayleigh House emerged victorious.

As the heartbeat and mission of every King’s camp, it was also heartwarming to see so many Year 7 students engaging in the nightly Chapel services, worshipping God and reflecting on the messages shared.

Year 8 Camp

Our fabulous Year 8 camp took place during Week 8 of Term 1. We loaded the buses on a sunny day and ventured down to Lennox Head. Lake Ainsworth was an incredible place to hold our camp. With various activities, friendship-building challenges, and many opportunities to get to know our teachers better, the Year 8 camp of 2024 was a huge success. Some of my favourite camp activities include the ‘team initiative’ challenges. This was a particularly difficult (but fun) teamwork activity. Some of these challenges include having to race across long platoons and the winner won points for their House. Another spectacular activity was the stand-up paddle boarding. One of the hardest challenges was to do a headstand on the paddle board. Some of us (including me) may have stacked it pretty badly on the challenges though! Another highlight of this amazing camp would have to be the devotions and House challenges. These happened during both evenings and included very fun activities, where Houses could win points (full credit to Finney for winning on the scoreboard!). Devotions were held by our incredible chaplaincy team, with praise and worship, great sermons, and an overall good time. Another activity that I particularly enjoyed was the karaoke competition. It was such fun to see everyone having a go and enjoying themselves. On behalf of Year 8, I want to thank the teachers and chaplaincy team for such a wonderful time!

Year 9 Camp

The Year 9 Ski Camp was held from Sunday, 11 August - Thursday, 15 August, and gave our students an unforgettable experience. This experience gave Year 9s the chance to be physically, emotionally, and spiritually challenged while strengthening bonds with their peers. From the moment they arrived at the Jindabyne and Thredbo Ski Resorts, the students embraced new adventures, from skiing on the snowfields to exploring the natural beauty of the area. Along the way, they enjoyed moments of reflection and devotion, deepening their connection with God and His creation. There was ample opportunity for fun and growth and the chance to form new friendships that will likely outlast their time at King’s.

“The 2024 Year 9 Jindabyne Ski Trip was eagerly anticipated. It began with a 3:30 am start, followed by a long day of travel that included a flight and a five-hour bus ride. We arrived at the Adventist Alpine Resort to a warm welcome and a delicious three-course meal. The next three days were filled with early mornings, skiing, and devotions. The ski lessons were invaluable, and the free skiing time with friends was unforgettable. The messages from our chaplains, Kae and Riley, and Mr. Sealey were deeply impactful. New friendships were formed, and it was refreshing to see our teachers relax outside of school. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in making this trip possible, especially our dedicated King’s staff.”

Nina Allen - Year 9

“The long-awaited Jindabyne Ski Trip was a highlight for our cohort. After a day of travel, the next three days flew by with early mornings, hearty breakfasts, bus rides to Thredbo, ski lessons, and plenty of fun on the slopes with friends. Evenings were spent with dinners and devotions, including a memorable talk from Mr Sealey on our final night about the people we aspire to become. On behalf of the Year 9 students, thank you to everyone who made this trip possible—teachers, chaplains, ski instructors, accommodation staff, bus drivers, and the EducaTours team. And to the students - from early mornings to late nights, from the buses to the slopes, thank you for bringing the light.”

Jasmine Szwajkowski - Year 9

Year 10 Camp

Year 10 Boys Camp

Over three days in June, the Year 10 boys went camping on Mount Tamborine at QCCC, an amazing place to stay. The camp provided us with an immersive experience as we took part in many challenging activities, made new friends, and had the chance to deepen our connection with Christ. We experienced many activities that tested our courage, teamwork, encouragement, humility and respect. These included the ‘Leap of Faith’, giant ladder, ‘stranded,’ bushwalking, and mountain biking. The Leap of Faith required us to climb 16m up a tree and then jump off a wooden platform, and it was great to see everyone give it a go and support each other. ‘Stranded’ was an exciting activity where our resilience was tested as we navigated the woods on our own with limited resources. During the evening devotions, Chappies Jesse and Riley gave powerful sermons, and on the first night, Jesse talked about the unchanging nature of God. He spoke about how trends are always changing, but God never does. God can change your life if you just follow his guidence, even if it seems like the harder path at the time. John 10:27 says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they know me.” Many boys stayed behind to receive prayer from teachers and gave their lives to God. On the second night of camp, Riley talked about ‘who are you?’. He explained how identities shape us and how we live in a ‘you do you’ self-centred world. We fill our lives with things that will be gone tomorrow, but we need to think about who we are when these things are gone. His message reminded us of how we are constantly putting things on to identify with, but we should take off these false labels because God is waiting for us to talk with him again. God will always be there waiting for us, and even when we may walk away from him, he is constantly there and ready for us to turn to Him again. Camp was such an awesome experience for the Year 10 boys, as we were pushed mentally, physically and spiritually. Thanks to Mr Kelly, Mr Smith, Mr Van der Westhuizen, Mr Horiguchi, Mr Du Plessis and Mr Timile for supporting us on this life-changing camp!

Year 10 Girls Camp

Attending this year’s all-girls camp was an unforgettable experience filled with various fun activities. Our teacher group included Ms Green, Mrs James, Ms Capuano, Mrs Threlfo, Mrs Batt, Ms Leach, Mrs Weathered and Ms Gambiza, and they fully enhanced the camp experience by providing constant encouragement and organising so many engaging activities. Their enthusiasm and support created an environment where we all felt motivated to participate and have fun. We enjoyed activities like standup paddleboarding on a beautiful lake, which allowed us to appreciate nature’s beauty while learning new skills. The beach activities showed our competitive side and fostered strong bonds among our cohort. We faced our fears through archery and the high ropes course and cheered each other as we celebrated each other’s victories. The evening devotions were especially impactful, particularly on the second night when numerous girls showed remarkable courage by opening their hearts to God. The chaplains, Meg and Kae, invited anyone wanting prayer, resulting in an outpouring of emotion and personal revelation, which solidified our strong sense of community in our cohort and God’s love that enveloped us all. Overall, our Year 10 Girls’ camp was a really enjoyable experience as we strengthened our bonds with others and created new friendships.

Caitlin Orth - Year 10

Year 11 Camp

Year 11 Camp can be summarised in two words: growth and connection. From August 19 - 21, 2024, our Year 11 cohort experienced an unforgettable camp at Lake Ainsworth. Filled with outdoor adventures and bonding activities, King’s seniors were challenged physically, emotionally, and spiritually, while building stronger bonds among the group.

The camp was a mix of group-themed challenges and students enjoyed rock climbing, sailing, canoeing, and archery tag, all aiming for the Year 11 Camp Shield. Evenings were marked by purposeful student-led chapel sessions, where students engaged in worship and reflection, connecting with God and each other.

An Amazing Race House challenge brought fierce competition, with activities testing the students’ teamwork and determination. FINNEY House emerged as this year’s victorious camp champs.

This camp was more than just a series of challenges—it was a journey of personal growth, strengthened friendships, and a deepened sense of community. Special thanks to the teachers and chaplaincy team for making this experience so impactful, laying the foundation for our Year 11 students to shine as the future leaders of King’s.

Year 12 Camp

Our Year 12 students headed off on their final school camp at QCCC Mapleton in the first week of Term 1, with the central theme of ‘Leading with Influence.’ Students competed fiercely in their House groups over the course of three days in an effort to take home the coveted Noel Collins trophy. After a great deal of enthusiastic cooperation, Finney House won and took home the coveted trophy. Finney, great job!

This camp gave students countless opportunities to step outside their comfort zones. With an eager attitude, this cohort competed in vigorous house challenges of tug-o-war, obstacle courses, mud runs and the iconic waterslide. After each activity-packed day, these Year 12’s were a part of two unique themed nights. For night one, the students were to dress as Senior Citizens, and brought their best eldery acting skills. They participated in rounds of bingo and even went on to learn and perform a classic dance from the 50s. Night two was the long-awaited garbage bag formal where students were able to showcase their crafting abilities, practice mutual respect and even coordinate a dance entrance with their partners for the night. It was amazing to observe our young gentlemen serving dinner to their female peers and all students bonding beyond their usual social circles.

Our 2024 Year 12 camp was a whirlwind of shared laughter, unforgettable amounts of discovery and heartfelt unity. Amidst the trials and triumphs of various House challenges, the group discovered resilience and togetherness, turning a simple retreat into a transformative experience. One really encouraging aspect of camp was seeing how many students formed new or stronger connections with God throughout the evening devotions. From actively participating in worship, to responding to the messages from King’s pastors, the camp was a defining moment ahead of the cohort’s final year.

Congratulations, Year 12! Your outstanding leadership and teamwork demonstrated the spirit of our school, and we hope that your last camp provided the impetus to launch you into this milestone year as a unified group.

“Amidst all the adventure, we formed some really strong bonds, turning peers into genuine friends and setting us all up for an incredible year ahead.”

Emily Muller, 2024 College Captain

Finney

2024 has been an unforgettable experience being a part of the Finney house. It has been a privilege to see the students in Finney strive in a variety of opportunities that happen during the year.

Camps have been a major highlight for many students in Finney. Through participation and perseverance, we have claimed multiple camp shields in Year 8, Year 11 and Year 12. Carnivals were another highlight; a day where athletically gifted students achieve excellence to represent our Finney house, but it’s also more amazing to see students willing to push past their comfort zone and participate in a variety of events which has a massive impact on the overall points of carnivals.

Thank you also to students who might not excel in sports but are doing Finney proud through academics, service, and other interschool activities that all add value to the Finney house. Thanks again to every student in the house for their love and dedication to being a part of the best house, Finney! It’s inspiring to see the variety of gifts from God that students have that have been used to make Finney proud in their respective fields over this year, and I hope that this can inspire future Finney students for years to come.

Newton

As we look back on our time as Newton House Captains for 2024, it’s incredible to reflect on the journey we’ve all shared. We’ve had the honour of representing our house and working with the rest of Newton staff and students to uphold the values we hold dear: teamwork, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence.

In both sports and academics, we’ve experienced the highs of victory and the lessons that come from falling short. Whether on the field, swimming pool, court, or track, Newton’s spirit shone brightly. While not every result went our way, our determination and unity never wavered.

We would be remiss not to acknowledge the sense of service that has underpinned everything we’ve done this year. Whether through charity events, helping around the school, or supporting our peers, we’ve made a positive impact and strengthened the sense of community that makes Newton House so special.

This year has been one of reflection, growth, and learning, but above all, it’s been about showing the Newton spirit—never giving up and supporting one another every step of the way. As we move into a new stage of our lives, we pray for Newton’s success in the future.

Rayleigh

For the past ten years, Rayleigh has been at the bottom of the Principal’s Cup. Coming into 2024, Rayleigh had high hopes of a dramatic improvement for our incredible house. We started the year with a cheeky win in the swimming carnival. The outstanding participation from every Rayleigh student was a contributing factor to our win. The winning streak continued with Rayleigh winning both the Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals. Our unity was impressive, we had incredible participation, and our House spirit flourished. All these combined contributed to Rayleigh’s success in 2024.

Watching Rayleigh’s house spirit flourish and leaders emerge from every grade has unified the Rayleigh student leaders and the entire house. 2024 has been a memorable, exciting, and exhilarating experience that the Year 12 cohort will remember long after graduation.

As we hand over to a new group of Rayleigh leaders, we are confident that they will carry on our legacy of success, unity, and Rayleigh dominance. It has been an honour to accept every win and help resurrect Rayleigh’s position from the bottom. We are proud to be back where we belong!

We would like to honour our amazing heads of house, Mrs Morichovitis and Mr Vincent, who helped Rayleigh to victory. We could not have done it without them!

We cannot wait for the future of Rayleigh and know that it is in good hands. # eagles 4 life

Easter Fest

Our third annual Easter Fest was a remarkable success, thanks to the unwavering support of King’s staff, students, and families. Our 2024 theme centred around the Cross and Crown, and throughout this event, we celebrated Jesus, and what His Cross and Crown mean for each of us.

The lively atmosphere filled our campus and the rain didn’t deter crowds or dampen spirits as our King’s Table forecourt, Prep Centre, and Primary building overflowed with families. Inside the auditorium, our audience was treated to a captivating display of performing arts from our talented King’s student musicians, choralists, and their dedicated tutors, whose efforts culminated in a delightful program of polished performances.

The Primary Art room also buzzed with creativity and energy, hosting a range of art activities and the Easter Hunt. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our King’s families for joining us in celebrating Jesus this Easter, and for making our community event so much fun!

ANZAC Day

“There

is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

John 15:13

Our College commemorated Anzac Day with a solemn service on Wednesday, April 24, preceding the national holiday. The event was an opportunity for King’s students and staff to pause and honour the profound legacy of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our freedom. Our College Captains reminded us that Anzac Day is not about glorifying war but rather about solemnly reflecting on its harsh realities while steadfastly advocating for peace.

This year, we were privileged to welcome Mrs Michaela Roberts, a retired Army Servicewoman and fourth-generation veteran, as our guest speaker. Mrs Roberts shared insights from her 11 years of service in the Navy, including six years at sea and extensive involvement in operational duties such as humanitarian aid missions. Today, she continues her service as a veteran advocate, assisting discharged veterans with their transition back to civilian life and ensuring their medical and compensation needs are met.

Campus Principal, Mr Russell Meyers, paid homage to our King’s alumni and current Australian Armed Forces members. Student representatives and senior staff laid flowers and wreaths at the foot of the flagpole, accompanied by a moving rendition of ‘Lead Kindly Light’ performed by our Senior Concert Band. Alisha Holmes recited the Ode to the Fallen, followed by Jacob Aspinall’s poignant rendition of The Last Post, leading into a moment of silence.

The service concluded with Mr Zoltan Vincze, returned serviceman and King’s teacher, hoisting our nation’s flag while our talented student vocalists sang the Australian and New Zealand national anthems. Mr Taylor’s closing remarks echoed the enduring Anzac values of courage, self-sacrifice, perseverance, and mateship, which are integral to our King’s Foundational Values, urging our community to embody these virtues in our daily lives.

Library

Mrs Amanda Roberts College Librarian

Our libraries strive to ensure our students have access to quality information for school assignments and enjoyable fiction to encourage reading for pleasure. Our Senior library has been refurbished this year with new shelving, tables and seating. All fiction books are now arranged by genre, and our non-fiction books have been reshelved by topics to ensure our students can find books easily. Our borrowing has increased since our changes. Our lounge chairs have been placed in areas to support and enhance students’ reading experience. Our opening hours have been extended to open at 7.30 am each morning to provide a space for students to read and study that supports our students’ learning.

In our junior library, we have added a new circulation desk and cupboards to update and make serving our students more efficient.

This year’s library events included Library Lovers Week, Where’s Wally Week, National Simultaneous Storytime, Star Wars Day, Library and Information Week, Science Week, Book Week, Australian School Library Day, and many displays. Many of our students were involved in the Premiers Reading Challenge, and we held several competitions each term. For the first time at our school, we have a current student, Hannah Kelso, completing a library traineeship, that has further enhanced our services to the school.

We have wonderful library team that inspires our students to read. Happy Reading!

Cheer

WOW, what a year King’s Cheer has had! A year full of fun, fitness and friendship! We strive to provide a fun, safe and engaging program at the Pimpama and Reedy Creek campuses. This year, I had the privilege of continuing to grow this program with the vision of helping students learn new skills and engage with teammates to work together. Our athletes have worked hard to develop impressive routines and learnt many new Cheer skills. Congratulations!

In 2024, we competed at Aussie Gold International, receiving two 1st places, two 2nd places and a third. We also competed in the AASCF State Competition, with our older teams coming away with 1st place JaguarsUpper Primary Level 2, 1st Place Cheetahs - High School Level 2 and Scholastic Grand Champions, 1st place Comets and 2nd place Panthers. Our largest competition this year was the AASCF National Championships hosted in Melbourne. Pimpama Comets and high school cheetahs were awarded 4th place in Australia and Reedy Creek Jaguars won 1st place in Scholastic Primary level 2 champions.

King’s Cheer yet again has the leadership of an amazing coaching team, including Mrs Annalise Carroll, Miss Hayley Masters, Miss Danae Willis, Miss Emily Swinbourne, Miss Sacha Acworth, Miss Zara Triemstra and our enthusiastic junior coaches Emilei Jacovides, Lily Petherick, Erin Dallinger, Emily Payne, Sofia Payne, Ella Beard, Tijana Mink Niemeijer and Sienna Mower.

King’s Cheer Director

Chess

Throughout 2024, we have seen a rise in participation at all levels here at King’s, from our specialist rotations (where children in Prep – Year 6 learn chess fortnightly) to some of our top chess students representing the college at State finals and some even travelling to international events.

Chess Trips

King’s Chess took students on chess trips to major tournaments this year. These trips provide an excellent opportunity for students to play as a team, competing in high level competition while making friendships and memories they will take with them for life.

Over the May long weekend, we took the following students to Toowoomba - Micah Young, Bryan Yang, William Cameron, Edwin Choi, Joshua Cooper, Kotaro Inukai, Woojoon Ki, Rentaro Inukai, Jayden Smith, Jason Zhang, Joshua Ong and Caleb Ong.

Debating

Debating is a fantastic opportunity for our Year 5 and 6 students to develop their critical thinking, public speaking, and teamwork skills. Throughout the year, students participate in multiple debates, including those in the Queensland Debating Union (QDU) competition, where they showcase their ability to articulate arguments and challenge opposing viewpoints.

In the early stages, students learn the basics of structuring a debate. They explore how to develop strong arguments, conduct research, and present their ideas clearly and confidently. As they progress, they tackle more complex topics and engage in higher-level discussions that require them to think on their feet and respond to counterarguments effectively.

One of the key aspects of debating is the collaborative nature of the preparation. Students work together in teams, brainstorming ideas, dividing research tasks, and practising their speeches. This teamwork fosters a sense of camaraderie and enhances their ability to communicate and respect different perspectives.

Whether defending their position or rebutting their opponents’ points, students feel a sense of accomplishment as they step up to deliver their points. Even in the face of challenging debates, the process always results in growth in terms of their skills and confidence.

Debating is a powerful tool for helping students develop life-long skills, and it is inspiring to see how each student rises to the challenge with determination and enthusiasm.

Skipping

At King’s, we provide a path from beginner skipping up to competing at a World Championship level. Skipping is both a fun, healthy activity and a competitive sport.

This year, the recreational program, Jump Rope Ninja Challenge, was extremely popular. Students tried to beat their number of consecutive jumps each week and achieved a ‘belt level’ and certificate at the end of each term.

The King’s Skipperoos competition team celebrated huge successes this year at Regional, State and National levels.

Some outstanding results include Year 1 athlete TJ Li, who broke two Australian records for speed skipping at the National Championships held at the A.I.S. in Canberra. King’s Skipperoos National Champions Kokoa Ah Tong, Indi Braun, Addison Roughley, Mackenzie Hoy, Issy Dulhunty-Todd, Charlotte Mikkelson and Ashlee Swinbourne all won events in their age group at Nationals. Several athletes placed 2nd and 3rd in many other events as well. It was a remarkably successful competition, and we await the naming of the Australian team to compete at the World Championships in Japan in 2025. We expect several King’s athletes will be selected for this team.

The team was expertly coached by former King’s student Jasmine Hawkins, who also competed and broke an Australian record for the consecutive triple under event.

Mackenzie Hoy was nominated by Mrs Hawkins and selected by Skipping Australia to receive a special award. She was awarded the Marcus Li Memorial Award for resilience, team spirit, encouragement, dedication to training and positive attitude. We are extremely proud of Mackenzie for her talent as an athlete and her character, displaying all these traits and more.

Congratulations to the whole team of athletes who trained so hard and achieved such impressive results this year.

Alumni

Mrs Chloe Mpala Alumni Coordinator

As we look back on 2024, it has been wonderful to welcome alumni back on campus.

In February, we had the pleasure of welcoming Grace Jupp (formerly Payne), Class of 2015, back to campus. Grace is not only a familiar face to the King’s community but also to many across Australia, having been a contestant on MasterChef 2023. She now owns an olive oil company on the Mornington Peninsula and collaborates with major brands through her successful health-focused social media presence.

Grace spent valuable time with our Senior and Middle School Food Tech and Senior Business classes and spoke at our Senior Chapel service. We were truly blessed to have her inspire, educate, and motivate our students throughout the day.

We also welcomed Joshua Oakes, Class of 2001, back on campus, where he shared his experiences serving in the RAAF from 2004-2012 as an Aircraft Life Support Fitter. Our Year 3 students were captivated by Joshua’s stories and had the exciting opportunity to try on some of the gear.

This year, we’ve celebrated many milestones within our alumni community and thoroughly enjoyed reunions for the Classes of 2004 and 2014. Looking ahead, we are excited to celebrate our first 30-year Reunion in 2025 and warmly welcome our Pimpama Campus into the alumni fold.

Mother’s Day Celebration

Father’s Day Celebration

Carnvial Day

King’s Carnival Day was a tremendous event, drawing over 1,800 guests to our school on Saturday, 10 August, for an unforgettable afternoon of fun and festivities. The Reedy Creek campus came alive with families, students, staff, and locals who came together to join in the celebrations. We were blessed with perfect weather, which set the scene for a day filled with excitement and a strong sense of community. Highlights of the carnival included sensational student performances, adrenaline-inducing attractions, a lively under-8s zone, vibrant market stalls, tasty food and drinks, spirited Oztag and bubble soccer games, an eSports competition, and much more!

Our 2024 Carnival was made possible thanks to King’s staff, student performers, parent volunteers, event vendors, and our entire school community who contributed to making the day truly special. A heartfelt thank you to our families for creating a wonderful festival atmosphere on campus.

International Students

Mrs Chelsea Donovan International Student Registrar

At King’s Christian College Reedy Creek Campus, we take pride in our diverse and vibrant community of international students. Each term, we come together for a special lunch to celebrate the unique cultures and contributions of our international students. These gatherings provide an excellent opportunity for students to share their experiences, enjoy various cuisines, and build lasting friendships.

In March, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from our sister school in Japan, Seikyo Gakuen. This visit was particularly meaningful as it allowed our students to reconnect with their Japanese friends from last year’s exchange program. The reunion was filled with joy and excitement, highlighting the strong bond between our two schools. The visit also provided a cultural exchange that enriched Japanese and Australian students, fostering mutual understanding and respect.

One of the highlights of our international program this year has been the appointment of Aclaire Sethakulvichai as our International Prefect. Aclaire has taken on her role with enthusiasm and dedication, effectively communicating with international students across the campus. Her efforts

have ensured that all international students feel welcomed and supported, helping them integrate smoothly into the school community. Aclaire’s leadership has been instrumental in organizing events and activities that enhance the international student’s experience at King’s.

We are incredibly proud of our international students and the vibrant multicultural environment they create at Reedy Creek Campus. Their presence enriches our school community, and we look forward to continuing to celebrate and support them throughout their journey at King’s Christian College.

BACK TO FRONT L-R:

Year 7 & 12 Afternoon

Each year in Term 1, the High School organises our Year 7 & 12 Afternoon event to foster connection and nurture College culture. The event is often a highlight for both year groups, providing various activities for optimal fun and friendship-building. These shared experiences often create lasting camaraderie that remains strong throughout our students’ time at King’s. On Friday, 9 February, the 2024 event unfolded across the campus with exhilarating activities and collaborative endeavours. Fuelled by sugar, our young men and women set off in opposite directions as laughter and chatter echoed across the grounds.

The event’s highlight was the exhilarating game of Laser Skirmish as students navigated through intricate mazes within the school building, strategising and teaming up to outwit their opponents. Later, the boys set off to revel in the thrill of Ultimate Frisbee while the girls indulged in their creative pursuits and crafted beaded key rings and origami masterpieces. At the end of the evening, all students gathered for a light dinner where they shared stories from the day, and the Year 7 cohort had the chance to pose questions to their Year 12 counterparts during a Q&A session. From study tips to navigating high school life, the seniors generously imparted their wisdom to guide the younger students on their academic journey. The day reminded us of the importance of fostering connections across different age groups within our school community. Through shared experiences and mutual respect, students strengthened friendships and gained valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of high school life. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the students and staff who made this day a resounding success.

Golf Day

The King’s Golf Day has been growing in strength and numbers since its inception four years ago. Sold out before the closing date, the event this year didn’t disappoint with the wonderful JB HiFi sponsorship from the Education Business and their suppliers, Targus, Logitech and STM.

Hosted by The Club at Parkwood in Arundel, the course was lovely and green and golfers from all three of our campuses enjoyed the day. With over $8000 in prizes and giveaways, we would like to thank the following additional sponsors for their prizes. They include King’s P&F, The Avenue Restaurant in Surfers Paradise, Chris McFarlane Security Specialists, Christian Heritage College, Custom Gear, Midford Uniforms, Kiss Photography and Bendigo Bank and The Club at Parkwood.

The winners from the 2024 King’s Golf Day: Longest Drive on the 18th hole: Zak Patel

Nearest the Pin on 2nd hole: Brett Miller

Nearest the Pin on 11th hole: Eugene Brayshaw

Nearest the Pin on the 16th hole: Andrew Fabor

The Best Dressed Team, or should we say the funniest, went to the Tubbies for dressing up like bananas.

P&F Ball

‘Spectacular’ best describes this year’s King’s Ball. From the elegant Imperial Hotel ballroom and the glamorous guests, to the dazzling entertainment and thousands raised for missions, Saturday, 12 October, was a night to remember!

This was our fifth Ball for King’s parents and staff, with the main mission to ‘friend-raise’ by building a solid and supportive foundation within our school community. This annual event also provides the chance for our parents to help fundraise for our High School Mission Trips, and this year, the Ball successfully raised $6,630 through a Silent Auction and lucky draw ticket sales. Our three major prizes this year were two Vitality Memberships for Rigs Recovery, valued at $2,500 each; four tickets to Luke Combs Sydney Concert with a $1000 Flight Centre voucher. Congratulations to our lucky winners!

Early Learning

Mrs Natalie O’Young Head of Early Learning

As we draw the curtain on another remarkable year at King’s Early Learning, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude as I reflect on the unforgettable experiences we have shared together.

This year has been nothing short of extraordinary. Our Pre Kindy’s Kangaroos and Koalas embarked on a brave new journey, stepping into their new environment with hearts full of courage and eyes brimming with curiosity. Saying goodbye to their Mums and Dads with a few tears, they showed us the true meaning of bravery and resilience. Watching them settle in and flourish has been one of the most heartwarming highlights of our year.

Our Pre Prep children had a fantastic time on their excursion to Raba Farm, celebrating ‘Under 8’s Week’ with a special event hosted by TAFE QLD. The journey to Mudgeeraba by bus was filled with excitement, and the day was packed with fun activities like damper making, which brought out smiles and laughter all around. One of the most delightful moments was the 10-minute bus ride itself, where the joyful squeals and giggles of our little adventurers were truly heartwarming.

The Pre Prep Sports Day was a true celebration of school spirit. It was more than just a day of athletic fun; it was an opportunity for our children to build a sense of community and belonging. By participating in various events, they developed a strong sense of school spirit and gained confidence, which will surely help them feel comfortable and excited for their first school carnival next year. We were so proud of all the children for having the courage to give all the events a go.

Throughout the year, we also had the pleasure of celebrating many special occasions together. Our Mother’s Day event was a heartwarming tribute to the incredible women who support our children every day. Father’s Night allowed us to honour the wonderful dads and father figures who play a vital role in our community. Grandparents Day was a touching reminder of the cherished bonds between generations, and Carnival Day was a vibrant celebration of our school spirit, with joy and laughter shared by all.

In all our celebrations and daily moments, we are reminded of the beauty of growth and community.

“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him” (Psalm 127:3)

This verse beautifully reflects the joy and blessing that our children bring to our lives and our school community.

As we look back on this incredible year, I want to extend my deepest thanks to our dedicated staff, supportive families, and, of course, our wonderful children. Your commitment and enthusiasm have made this year a memorable chapter in the story of King’s Early Learning. Here’s to the amazing journey we’ve shared and to the exciting adventures that lie ahead!

Mrs Tracey Verreynne

Group Head of Early Learning

Kangaroos

Mrs Tanya Coetzee & Mrs Sophie Lenton Group

Leaders

The Kangaroo’s explorations were full of joy and curiosity as we began our learning journey for 2024. The year began with a focus on discovering more about the unique and wonderful interests of our Kangaroo community. We observed how brave, resilient, and capable our newest King’s members were and how they effortlessly applied themselves to every task and challenge they faced.

We have thrived in many collaborative artworks, displaying a great sense of connection and willingness to work together and form lasting friendships. Partnered with multiple class projects, these provided the stage for many moments of inquiry and reflection.

Our Hungry Caterpillar project spanned over a term, showcasing the Kangaroo’s previous understandings and growing curiosities of all things bugs and gardening. They asked many brilliant questions and formed their research skills to discover new understandings of how the world of insects and growing food works.

We have flourished when investigating transport, Africa and our everyday interest in play dough, animals, and home corners. We explored many cultures throughout the year and proudly shared all of who we are.

Every child in the Kangaroo classroom has displayed their sense of creativity through a wide range of outlets. Whether painting, building with blocks, imaginary play, or storytelling. Their ideas, curiosities of the world, and ability to express their thoughts have resulted in a beautiful connection, creating a true sense of pride in their capabilities.

This has also been evident in their evolving social-emotional skills, which are pivotal for their future success. Their ability to form attachments, use their voice, share their feelings, and regulate emotions has grown throughout the year and aided their sense of belonging within our King’s community. For this, we are incredibly proud and have complete faith as they navigate the next step of their learning journey.

Koalas

Mrs Shantal Abbotts Group Leader

What an incredible year it has been in the Koalas classroom. We are so blessed to be able to be a part of your child’s learning and growth. I have had the amazing opportunity to step in and work alongside four incredible educators: Miss Louise, Miss B, Miss Jane and Mrs Bell. The love they have for your children and the safe space created throughout the year are reflected in the children’s smiles and enthusiasm in the classroom.

The learning journey has certainly been an adventure. The Koalas have learned a great sense of adaption to change, contributing to their emotional growth and regulation. We have seen massive growth in all the children since I began, and I am so proud of the milestones they have achieved. They have enjoyed using flashcards to develop their numeracy skills and recognition of shapes. Dinosaurs was definitely a showstopper this year, as all the children confidently shared their ideas. This theme spilled over into fine and gross motor development. We learned that a lot of our Koalas love animals and enjoyed learning about them. Some favourites that came up were mice and frogs. We are so happy the children love God’s smallest creatures, too. NAIDOC week was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about different cultures and celebrations, indulged in First Nation art, and appreciated it’s beautiful shapes and patterns.

Each morning, we enjoy a prayer together and listen to God’s word. The children are very enthusiastic about this and love singing songs of praise while they learn about Jesus. The lessons instilled are understood and portrayed in their actions and the children can recite the lessons back. Instilling these good values, and our Koala’s accepting it with open arms has been incredible for their journey here at King’s. Their love they have for and the faith they have in our Lord is unwavering.

We are so happy to see our little Koalas expand their knowledge and cannot wait to see what they get up to next year!

Bilbies

Mrs Sally Croucamp & Mrs Rebecca Whitecross Teachers

What a remarkable year it has been for our Bilbies Pre Prep class! This year, our young learners embarked on an exciting journey of discovery and growth, diving into a range of fascinating topics and experiences that have left lasting impressions on their hearts and minds.

Our adventure this year began with a frosty exploration of the world of penguins and the Arctic. From waddling like penguins to learning about icy habitats, the children were captivated by these charming creatures and their chilly home. This interest not only broadened their knowledge but also sparked a sense of wonder and curiosity about the natural world.

The excitement for learning and exploration continued when we hopped aboard one of the school buses for a memorable excursion to Raba farm. The children were thrilled to see baby goats up close and making damper bread allowed them to connect with traditional practices and experience the joy of creating something delicious made with their own hands.

In the latter part of the year, the classroom buzzed with energy as we delved into the vibrant world of the Olympics. Our young athletes participated in their own mini-Olympics (Pre Prep Sports Day), discovering the values of sportsmanship and teamwork while enjoying various funfilled activities and games.

Throughout the year, our Bilbies class has grown in so many ways. They’ve developed new skills, formed lasting friendships, and built a foundation of knowledge that will support their future learning. It has been a year of exploration, joy, and personal growth, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far each student has come.

Echidnas

Mrs Melissah Willis

Teacher

As we close the chapter on this remarkable year in the Echidnas room, we celebrate the curiosity and enthusiasm that each child has brought to our learning journey. This year has been full of incredible explorations and discoveries. We have investigated zones of regulation, kindness, friendships, sea creatures, recycling, cooking, veterinary work, animals, jungle creatures, and science. The diverse interests of our class have ignited engaging investigations and joyful learning experiences.

Our verandah has been a window to nature’s wonders, enhancing our curiosity with glimpses of local wildlife and enriching our explorations. Being connected to both a Primary and High School has provided unique opportunities for specialist lessons in Music, Chess, and Chapel, as well as fun activities like Dance, Cheer, Soccer, and Brick Building. Our community events—Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day, Father’s Day, Sports Day, Multicultural Day, and Carnival Day have been highlights, fostering a deep sense of belonging and shaping our Echidnas into proud ‘Kings Kids’.

Our faith journey has been equally rewarding, as we’ve engaged in daily devotions and learned about embodying Jesus’ values in our lives. It has been heartwarming to see the children’s growing confidence in their writing skills and their enthusiasm for learning, laying a solid foundation for their future adventures in Prep.

Mrs. Minter and I are incredibly proud of the Echidnas and all that we have accomplished together. We extend our heartfelt blessings as they transition to the next exciting chapter of their educational journey. What a fantastic year it has been!

Possums

Mrs Priya Agnew Teacher

The hallmark of our learning journey in the Possums room has been the cultivation of wonder and curiosity. Our year began with a fantastic start, focussing on building friendships and connections by embracing the motto ‘more friends, more fun’, establishing a positive foundation for the year.

The children’s curiosity was ignited through exploring the intriguing world of bugs and insects, including learning about bees, butterflies, and snails.

Multicultural Week further enhanced our experience by celebrating the diverse cultures within our classroom. We are grateful for the contributions from our parents to this learning experience, fostering an appreciation for different cultures.

Then our exploration took us to the icy realms of Antarctica. The children engaged with the habitats of penguins, seals and albatross through interactive hands-on activities.

Music has played a significant role in our classroom, with the children enjoying the discovery of new songs and the use of various musical instruments. This integration of music not only added a joyful dimension to our activities, but also encouraged creativity and a sense of unity among the children.

Our focus then shifted to the wonders of space. The children’s fascination with the planets, the sun, the moon and the stars showcased their boundless curiosity and imagination. Their enthusiasm for exploring the universe has been truly inspiring.

Throughout the year, we have continually marvelled at the beauty of God’s creation, deepening our understanding of the natural world and its wonders. We are immensely proud of the children’s enthusiasm and development in all aspects of their learning. As they continue to grow and deepen their faith, we are confident they will carry forward the joy and wonder that has been central to their experiences in the Possums room.

Wombats

Mrs Emily Buckley Teacher

Teaching the Wombats has been a pleasure. Being part of the children’s learning journey has been very rewarding. Seeing their growth, curiosity, and enthusiasm has filled me with joy and purpose. It has been an honour to guide and inspire these young minds.

Throughout this year, we have had many learning adventures together, expanding our knowledge and embracing new experiences. We started our year with ‘bucket filling,’ a metaphor for acts of kindness and positivity. By spreading love, encouragement, and support, we fill others’ ‘buckets’ with joy, fostering a happier and healthier community.

This year, the children’s wide-ranging interests have led to many enriching learning experiences and opportunities for growth and exploration. We have studied the following topics:

In our garden, we learned about insects, flowers, and plants. We also learned about bees and their crucial role as pollinators in our world.

We explored different weather conditions, understanding how and why it rains, and the characteristics of the four seasons.

We enjoyed learning about various types of animals: pets, farm animals, wild animals, and ocean animals.

We ventured into space and studied the stars and the eight planets in our solar system.

It has been wonderful to see the children’s growing confidence in writing their names and exploring pre-writing skills. The Wombats have also been improving their gross motor skills outdoors by climbing, running, and balancing on obstacle courses. Additionally, they have participated in extracurricular activities like soccer, brick building and dance lessons.

It has been a joy getting to know these young individuals throughout the year. We pray for God’s abundant blessings as they continue their learning journey next year.

Playtime

Mrs Debra Attwell Playtime Coordinator

Playtime meets on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:00 to 11:30 am, offering a safe environment for play, connection, singing, dancing, and storytelling.

This year has been wonderful at Playtime, with new friendships formed, garden play, coffee catch-ups, and creative crafting. We welcomed Mia and Charmaine to the team permanently. Mia, who previously volunteered while studying Speech Pathology, enjoyed her time so much she joined us as an assistant. Charmaine shares this role, ensuring I have support to create the best environment for our families.

We’ve seen many new faces from diverse backgrounds, fostering a vibrant multicultural community where language connections are common. Watching these new friendships develop has been a joy.

Our craft table is a hit, especially among adults. We introduced painting canvases for them, which has been popular, providing a quiet and therapeutic activity for mums.

Watching our little ones grow has been a blessing; some have started talking, others have learned to walk, and the highlights are the warm hugs and shared stories upon arrival.

Playtime is truly a place of love, support, and nurturing. We are grateful to be part of this special community and thankful for the support from Nat and the team at Noah’s Ark.

Outside School Hours Care

Mrs Lili Barnard OSHC Coordinator

Reflecting on 2024, it’s heartwarming to reflect on the vibrant and joyful environment we’ve cultivated at Noah’s Ark After School Care. Operating daily from 3:00 to 5:30 PM during school terms, our program has been a source of excitement and enrichment for children from Prep to Year 2.

Our centre buzzes with energy every afternoon as children unwind from their school day and reconnect with friends. The magic of our program lies in its ability to bring together kids from different classes and year levels, fostering new friendships and allowing siblings to enjoy quality time together during outdoor play. Our team is committed to providing diverse activities that cater to each child’s interests and individual needs.

Indoors, children have explored their creativity through sensory experiences, arts and crafts, and imaginative play. From building with blocks and Lego to dressing up and dancing to their favorite tunes, the possibilities for fun are endless.

Outside, our playground is a haven of adventure, where kids can challenge themselves with obstacle courses, monkey bars, climbing walls, and ball games. The mud kitchen and running races add an extra layer of excitement to their afternoons.

Thank you to all our wonderful families for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to the countless memories made and the many more to come. We look forward to another fantastic year ahead at Noah’s Ark!

Primary

Mrs Anna Payne Head of Primary

As we draw the curtains on another remarkable year at King’s Christian College, I am filled with immense gratitude and pride for all that we have accomplished together. Our journey this year has been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by countless moments of joy, growth, and achievement.

To our incredible staff, your unwavering dedication and passion have been the cornerstone of our success. From guiding our students in their academic pursuits to nurturing their talents in the arts, sports, and beyond, your impact has been profound. The ‘Pursuit of Excellence’ has not just been a theme for us this year; it has been a living, breathing mission evident in every lesson taught, every event organised, and every life touched.

Our students have truly embodied this pursuit. Whether during devotions, Chapels, studying scripture, engaging in their academic programs, on the field during our APS Athletics carnivals and sporting events or in the pool in our swimming program, they have shown outstanding determination and sportsmanship. Our Performing Arts, Creative Days, our Creative by Design week, ‘Inside Out’ where students immersed themselves in the Arts, have revealed the depths of their creativity and passion. Book Week, with the theme ‘Reading is an Adventure’, allowed our students to explore new worlds while the chess competitions challenged their strategic thinking.

The Honours Assemblies and our camp program, from the Year 3 sleepover on the oval to the Year 6 adventure in Cairns, have provided opportunities to celebrate achievements, build friendships, and deepen their relationship with God. The trip to Cairns, with visits to the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest, was a particular highlight, strengthening bonds and creating lifelong memories.

Some of our greatest highlights were taking time to honour our beloved families. Our Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparents’ Day events were beautiful celebrations of the love and support that our parents and grandparents provide. We are deeply grateful for their partnership in the education and upbringing of our children.

As we look forward to the holiday season, I wish all our students, parents, guardians, extended family and staff a blessed and restful break. May it be a time of reflection, rejuvenation, and joy. As we step into 2025, I am filled with excitement for the new adventures and opportunities that lie ahead. May God bless you all abundantly, and I look forward to seeing you in the new year, ready to pursue excellence once again.

“Therefore,

my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labour is not in vain.”

1 Corinthians 15:58

Mrs Phoebe Vincent Lead Teacher

In 2024, our Prep students embarked on an exciting new adventure as they began their first year of primary school. The Prep Centre has been a hub of joy, learning, and creativity throughout the year. Parents and guardians have every reason to be proud of our students’ remarkable growth, effort, and courage.

This year has been filled with many memorable moments! On the first day, the Preps had their photos taken with ‘Aslan the Lion’ and enjoyed a picnic with their new King’s teddies. In Term 2, the Preps were thrilled by a visit from Ocean Life Education, where they had the chance to touch real marine animals. In Term 3, we celebrated 100 days of school with our teddies, marking this milestone with joy. Students also thoroughly enjoyed Creative By Design week, engaging in innovative lessons to celebrate God through the theme of ‘Inside Out’. Term 4 sparked curiosity in our young scientists as they explored the fascinating world of motion. Through hands-on experiments, they discovered the mechanics of movement and developed their investigative skills, including a visit from the Street Science team. Our year has been packed with highlights that will be cherished for years to come!

Our wonderful children have not only formed close friendships but have also deepened their relationship with Jesus. They eagerly anticipate our weekly chapel services, a highlight for students and staff. Witnessing our Preps in genuine worship and watching their faith grow brings us immense joy.

As our Prep students move forward in their educational journey, we are confident that the foundational values we focused on this year—Courage, Compassion, Perseverance, and Self-Control—have set them up well for their development in today’s busy world. The Term 1 scripture, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13), has been a cornerstone of their year.

I feel incredibly proud to work alongside our amazing team of teachers: Mrs Croucamp, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Carranza Sanchez, Mr Stanley, Mrs Greenwell, Mrs McCloy, and Mrs King, as well as our educational assistants: Mrs Johnson, Mrs Glass, Mrs de la Mare, Miss James, Mrs Richards-Ghosn, Mrs Hindman, Mrs Weight, and Mrs Coles. They truly go above and beyond to serve our Prep families.

2024 has been a wonderful journey, and the Prep Team extends their heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful Prep families for their invaluable support. We pray that God continues to guide and nurture this exceptional group of students as they continue their learning adventures.

Year 1

Mrs Jessica Froggatt Lead Teacher

The year 2024 has been a thrilling journey. Our Year 1 students have delved into the King’s Foundational Values, embracing the principles of Learn Passionately, Love Faithfully, Lead Diligently, and Live Purposely. Through this, they have built strong friendships and deepened their relationship with God.

At the beginning of the year, students explored their personal growth and changes over time. They delighted in crafting memory boxes filled with cherished items from their past. Excitedly, they shared stories from their early childhood with their classmates.

During Term 2, students embraced the mindset of scientists, exploring how everyday materials can transform. They were thrilled by an amazing performance from Street Science and even crafted their own unique bouncy balls! Alongside these hands-on activities, students enhanced their reading and writing skills through targeted literacy instruction and strengthened their number sense to 120.

In Term 3, students further honed their writing skills by learning to craft imaginative texts. They engaged in various activities that enhanced their number knowledge, enabling them to tackle mathematical problems. Additionally, students explored the distinctive features of different places and applied their understanding by designing and constructing their own tiny towns. A highlight of the term was a guided bus tour of the local community, culminating in a picnic lunch at Schuster Park. Students thoroughly enjoyed Creative By Design week, engaging in innovative lessons to celebrate God through the theme of ‘Inside Out’.

In Term 4, students delved into the features of living things and explored ways to contribute to the safety and survival of animals and their habitats. They conducted research and compiled their findings into detailed reports. We celebrated with an exciting visit to Paradise Country, where students enjoyed tasting damper, going on a train ride, and observing animals throughout the park.

Working alongside Mrs. Koekemoer, Miss Atkinson, Miss Juggins, and Mrs. Jacovides has been a true pleasure. This dedicated Year 1 team has faced the year’s challenges with unwavering faith and creative approaches. The invaluable support from our parent community has played a crucial role in our success, and we sincerely thank you for all your assistance and dedication throughout the year.

What a fantastic year it’s been! My heartfelt wish is for our Year 1 students to keep blossoming and discovering their God-given talents, empowering them to reach their dreams.

Mrs Alissa Williamson Lead Teacher

In 2024, our Year 2 students have exemplified faithfulness and growth under the dedicated leadership of Mrs Angelides, Mr Durso, Mrs Jones, Mrs Campbell, Mrs Van Der Merwe, and Mrs Williamson. Together, we have fostered a nurturing environment where our students have thrived, embracing the King’s Foundational Values: Learn Passionately, Live Purposefully, Love Faithfully, and Lead Diligently. These values have been showcased as students actively participated in Year Level Assemblies, demonstrating leadership qualities in classroom and playground interactions.

Our curriculum has been rich and diverse, engaging students with core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Integrated Studies. Notable highlights include delving into the intriguing realms of minibeasts and microhabitats, complemented by the exciting Wildlife Warrior incursion. We deepened our understanding of the Water Cycle with a visit to Hinze Dam, where we gained hands-on experience in learning about water filtration. Students explored the physics of movement and concluded the unit with a STEM project, designing and creating a push-and-pull toy. The Street Science Rocket Show offered engaging hands-on learning and an abundance of fun. We also explored how technology has transformed our lives and examined its use at home and school. The Beenleigh Historical Village provided a fantastic conclusion to this unit, offering firsthand insight into how people lived and attended school over a century ago.

Fridays have been a particular highlight, offering Specialist lessons in PE, Chess, Music, Art, STEM, and Spanish, led by our talented specialist team. Our Creative by Design week, themed around ‘Inside Out’, inspired students through Christ-centred activities and engaging projects. Visits to our library and the Dress-Up Book Week have fostered a love of reading and creativity among our students.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to parents for their unwavering support throughout the year. To our Year 2 students, you have been deeply valued and cherished. Your progress and commitment have been inspiring, and we look forward to seeing your continued growth in Year 3.

“For

the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Year 3

Mrs Tamryn Smith Lead Teacher

“In the beginning, God created..” Genesis 1:1. Year 3 students delved into a world of adventure, exploring all God has created, from the land and sea to the stars. It has been a fun-filled year of discovery.

Our first adventure was travelling around Australia, learning about natural landmarks and manmade features. The students used their persuasive writing and digital technology skills and worked collaboratively to create 3D models of our nation.

In Term 2, students broadened their knowledge and research skills to investigate Australia’s neighbouring countries. During our culminating event, students and teachers enjoyed a cultural celebration, displaying traditional costumes, greetings, models of shelters, and cultural food. Most importantly, we discovered the value of our differences as we journeyed through the term together.

Term 3 amazed our students as they rocketed off to the moon and orbited the sun during a trip to the Brisbane Planetarium. They experienced VR headsets and a morning of drone footage. Students created 3D models of the Earth, Sun, and Moon and conducted experiments, recording results from shadow investigations.

Term 4 took a different turn as we entered Willy Wonka’s Wonder Lab. The students delved into a novel study and followed Charlie’s journey through a chocolate factory while exploring science experiments, which led them to discover how to produce their own ice cream. This term highlighted the ‘unsearchable’ world of science God has created for us to explore.

A huge thank you to Mr Carroll, Miss Nicola, Mrs Harders, Mrs Dredge, and Mrs French for your dedication and enthusiasm in making this year such an adventure. A special thanks to Mrs Hawkins, our Educational Assistants, and our parent helpers for their time and effort in making this year a success. You are appreciated!

As our students move into Year 4, we pray that they continue shining the light of Jesus into the world.

Year 4

Mrs Jennifer Maguire Lead Teacher

This has been a wonderful year, brimming with opportunities, growth, and adventure. Our Year 4 students have demonstrated perseverance and courage, facing challenges with determination and grace.

In Semester 1, students learnt about the importance of local government’s role within our community. They went on an excursion to learn all about bike safety and how to use our roads wisely. Students then explored Newton’s laws of physics and used this knowledge to design and construct their own arcade games. Students from across the school were invited to our ‘King’s Arcade’ to try their luck to win the games. Semester 2 enabled students to discover our nation’s history and develop a deeper understanding of the diversity of different people’s experiences during colonisation. Students also explored the concept of sustainability and investigated ways of protecting and sustaining our natural resources.

A standout experience of the year was the 3-day camp to Burleigh, providing a platform for students to challenge themselves and build meaningful relationships with one another. Our wonderful Instrumental Music Program ran all year, allowing students to hone their musical skills. Congratulations to the Year 4 Strings and Band who represented our school at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod. This year, students were also introduced to APS sport, a friendly sporting competition between local schools. Students were encouraged to try a range of sports and work together as a team to build their skills and develop and greater sense of teamwork.

Spirituality was a central focus throughout the year, with class devotions, Christian Living lessons, weekly Chapel services, and especially the camp devotions having a profound impact on the students. The Creative By Design week was a special moment, encountering God through the theme of ‘Inside Out’. Grounded in 1 Samuel 16:7 “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” Students discovered that it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

It has been a pleasure to work alongside Mr Glass, Mrs Goss, Mrs Murphy, Miss Petrie and Mrs Wentworth. The Year 4 team has collaborated to rise to the challenges of the year with faithful attitudes and innovative mindsets. Thank you to our parent community for your ongoing support and partnering with us in your child’s education

As we look back on the year, it’s been a privilege to watch the students blossom and grow, guided by their faith. We pray that they continue to seek and pursue a closer relationship with God as they progress through their school journey.

Year 5

Mrs Kerran James Lead Teacher

Throughout 2024, Year 5 pursued excellence, embarking on a journey marked by exploration, growth and a vibrant sense of community. Guided by the dedicated team of Mrs James, Miss Hargreaves, Mrs Ryan, Miss Roberts, Mrs Tually and Mr Temme, our students embraced challenges with determination, evolving into resilient learners and compassionate individuals.

The year unfolded with diverse opportunities in real-world mathematical challenges and significant academic achievements. Year 5 students thrived in NAPLAN assessments and showcased their scientific prowess at the Science Fair in Term 3. They also mastered the art of writing TEEL paragraphs, enhancing their ability to articulate ideas clearly and persuasively. Throughout the year, students collaborated effectively with their peers during Project-Based Learning (PBL) tasks, fostering teamwork and innovative thinking in tackling complex problems.

Our students showcased their talents and perseverance in sports and recreation, particularly during our exhilarating Term 3 Camp on the Sunshine Coast. Here, students courageously tackled high ropes courses, bonded through team challenges and forged lasting friendships amidst the coastal beauty. This experience enriched their skills and deepened their unity as a cohort.

Spiritual growth was fostered through devotions, Christian Living lessons and weekly chapel services, enriching their understanding of faith and community. The much-awaited CBD week in Term 3 did not disappoint – it provided an opportunity for self-reflection and participation in fun and challenging learning activities that will be remembered for years.

As we conclude the year, we reflect on the wisdom of Isaiah 40:31, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” Year 5 has indeed soared to new heights, guided by knowledge, resilience and a deeper sense of community, setting a path for their continued growth and achievement.

Year 6

Mrs Kristen Tivinan Lead Teacher

This year has been a remarkable journey for our Year 6 cohort, filled with growth and accomplishments across all areas of their schooling: academics, sports, the arts, character development, relationships, and faith. Our students have shown exceptional dedication to their studies, consistently striving for excellence and pushing the boundaries of their knowledge.

Character development has been a cornerstone of our Year 6 experience. Our students have become compassionate, responsible, and respectful individuals, embodying the King’s Foundational Values. They have built strong relationships with their peers and teachers, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where they are encouraged to develop their resilience and growth mindset further.

A highlight of the year was our trip to Cairns, where students had the opportunity to explore their faith in God amidst the beauty of nature. This trip was a transformative experience, allowing them to reflect, pray, and deepen their understanding of God’s presence in their lives. It was heartwarming to see students supporting one another in their spiritual journeys, fostering a sense of community and shared faith.

Our Peacekeeping leadership program was another significant aspect of this year. Year 6 students took on the role of mentors, engaging with younger students during lunch breaks. They facilitated games, resolved conflicts, and modelled positive behaviour, earning the respect and admiration of their juniors. This program strengthened their leadership skills and reinforced the importance of service and empathy.

It has been a privilege to serve alongside the remarkable Year 6 teachers: Mrs Upton, Ms Chapootorn, Mrs Williams, Mr Snowdon, and Miss Simpson. They are dedicated to fostering a love for God and learning and strive to nurture each child in their care. The partnership with the Year 6 families has also been invaluable to each student’s success.

To the students, as they begin their journey into High School: we pray that you continue to strive forward with courage and embrace your God-given talents and skills. Remember that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. - Philippians 4:13

Performing Arts

Mrs Amanda Cross

Primary Music Teacher

What subject builds confidence, boosts brain power, helps social skills, teaches discipline and improves memory? Music!

At King’s, our students are lucky to engage in weekly Music lessons. Mrs Benita Laird teaches our Prep-Year 2 students, and Mrs Amanda Cross teaches our Year 3-6 students.

In Music this year, the students continued to develop their performing skills on various instruments, including tuned and untuned percussion, recorder, keyboard, ukulele and guitar. Each year is spent building on these skills of performance and music reading. We also continued our musical analysis of various songs and musical theory practice, including note and rhythm reading. One of the best skills in music for creativity is Composition. This year, all students created their own music, whether on an instrument or using Music technology.

The Year 4 Instrumental program has once again been a great success, with many students choosing to continue learning their instrument at the conclusion of the program. This year was also the first year a Band and String Ensemble group was selected, and the students performed at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod with great success.

In Year 6, students participated in our guitar program. Our college guitar tutor, Ms Lynfa Deas, assisted Mrs Cross each week in delivering intensive guitar lessons with the hope that students would develop skills that may one day be used in a worship band or many other types of ensembles. This year, we also added a keyboard to our program to allow students to go even further with their performance opportunities.

This year, in Term 3 during Creative by Design, we auditioned our Upper Primary students for our 2025 Primary Musical. We were so amazed at the skill and talent of our students and can’t wait to get started on rehearsals next year.

Finally, Our Lower and Upper Primary choirs have also worked hard rehearsing various songs this year. They have had the opportunity to perform at many events, including Carnival Day, Grandparents Day, Mother’s Day, building ceremonies, Music showcases and more. Both choirs should feel very proud of their commitment and achievement across the year.

Overall, 2024 has been another great year where we have witnessed our students grow in their passion for Music and we look forward to further developing that love for Music in the future.

Ignite

Mrs Angela Hicks & Mrs Laura Schwarz

Ignite Teachers

What will you Ignite a passion for? The subject of Ignite has been different from previous years. Each term, students focus on one of the following areas: Dance, Drama, Media Arts and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). From Prep to Year 6, students learn by exploring and creating through Performing Arts and Technology-based activities. Students walk into their Ignite class and experience engaging, hands-on lessons that may ignite a passion in this curriculum area.

Within the Performing Arts curriculum, students have been involved in learning dances from other cultures, choreographing routines and group performances. Classes have enjoyed applying their knowledge and skills in drama by performing scripts, playing games and using props such as puppets and costumes for dramatic effect. A highlight for many students has been performing their dances and drama performances in front of their peers, building self-confidence and allowing for peer feedback and encouragement.

Students have enjoyed exploring the world of technology through Media Arts and STEM. Prep created their own online book using Book Creator. Year 1 explored cartoons from different cultures and used Book Creator to form their response. Year 2 made clay bible characters and used iPads to create their own stop motion animation. Students used iPads to record videos, audio and photos in software programs such as OneNote and Canva. Using these visual software programs, students have presented their creations to each other. In the older grades students have been immersed in the coding world of Microsoft Arcade and Microsoft Micro:bit. These programs have engaged students in coding and formatting programs for others to experience and play.

This year, students have excelled with the challenge of a new curriculum area, which has been engaging, relatable, and, most of all, so much fun!

Physical Education

Mr Andy Hourigan PE Teacher

This year, our Physical Education (PE) program effectively aligned with the Australian Curriculum (Version 9), focusing on physical literacy, movement skills, and safety across all year levels.

Prep Program: Fundamental Foundations

The Prep program focused on building foundational skills, including basic locomotor movements such as running, jumping, and hopping. Emphasis was placed on safety and developing essential motor skills, setting the stage for future physical activities.

Fundamental Motor Skills and Swimming

Years 1 and 2: Students worked on fundamental movement skills, including throwing, catching, striking, and running. Safety was a key component, and evasion games were introduced to enhance strategic thinking. Additionally, Year 1 and 2 students participated in swimming lessons at Miami Aquatic Centre, improving their swimming techniques and water safety awareness.

Athletics

Prep to Year 6: Athletics was the primary focus in Term 2, with students engaging in track and field activities. Emphasis was on refining running, jumping, and throwing techniques. Cultural games were integrated throughout to enrich the learning experience and introduce diverse physical activities.

Year 3-6: Advanced Learning and Progression

Years 3 and 4: Students engaged in cross-country running and team sports, applying their skills in increasingly complex environments. Year 3 students also participated in swimming lessons to further develop their swimming skills and water safety knowledge. In Term 3 and 4, students went deeper in their learning progression, focusing on advanced strategies and more challenging scenarios. Indigenous games were integrated to promote cultural awareness and enhance strategic thinking.

Years 5 and 6: Students advanced to more sophisticated team sports and refined their striking skills. They continued cross-country running and tackled more authentic environments in Term 3 and 4, deepening their understanding of strategy and teamwork. The emphasis was on building on prior learning with increased complexity and progression in their physical education.

Our PE program provided a comprehensive and progressive learning environment, adhering to the Australian Curriculum (Version 9). We ensured the program was rigorous and inclusive, supporting the holistic development of each student. We look forward to continuing this success in the coming year.

Art

Mrs Karen Wendijk & Mrs Jenny Warner

Art Teachers

Welcome to the vibrant world of art at our school! The P - 6 Visual Art Department has enjoyed an exhilarating and creatively enriching year. Our talented students delved into various art techniques and mediums throughout the year. From mixed media to the delicate strokes of watercolours, the tactile nature of plaster gauze, the malleability of model magic clay, and the rich pigments of oil and soft pastels, they immersed themselves in a world of colours and textures. Collage allowed them to piece together unique narratives from different elements, resulting in stunning works of art. Students thoroughly enjoy using paint pens in art classes, finding them fun and easy to use for creating vibrant, detailed artwork.

Beyond their exploration of materials, our students found inspiration in the works of renowned artists. From the whimsical and humorous art of Reg Mombassa, James Rizzi and Keith Harring to the culturally rich depictions of Jimmy Pike and the mesmerizing polka-dots of Yayoi Kusama, each artist left a distinct imprint on our young learners’ creative processes. Additionally, the artistry of the Tjanpi people added cultural depth and appreciation to our students.

The fruits of their labour were proudly displayed. These exhibitions not only showcased the students’ remarkable progress but also served to build confidence and instil pride in their artistic accomplishments.

Art’s journey is one of endless possibilities, and we are excited to witness our young artists continue to grow and make their mark on the canvas of life. Through the power of art, they have learned the value of selfexpression, creativity, and cultural understanding, enriching their artistic abilities and overall development as individuals. With each brushstroke, sculpture, or collage, they have embraced the spirit of artistic exploration, proving that they are truly the artists of tomorrow.

Spanish

Mr Roberto Zimmatore Spanish Teacher

Hola queridos amigos!

Spanish at King’s Christian College Reedy Creek gives students an incredible opportunity to learn about the language, culture and way of life of the Latin world.

As the second most spoken language globally, our students are fortunate to immerse themselves in this rich and diverse culture.

We were sad to farewell Mrs Savvides at the end of last year as she embarked on a new journey. This meant the opportunity for two new teachers arose. Señora Harwood taught Prep and Year 1, and Señor Zimmatore taught Year 2 to Year 6.

Throughout the year, students across all grade levels embraced the challenge of learning Spanish, and their progress in speaking, reading, and writing has been truly remarkable. From the youngest Preps to the mature Year 6 students, each class showed unwavering commitment and enthusiasm for their language learning journey.

Many exciting learning experiences unfolded across all year levels this year. Our youngest students filled the Prep Centre with cheerful ‘hola’ and ‘adios’ through singing, along with lots of puppetry, dancing, movement, and games. The Year 1 students started to read and write in Spanish, and they engaged in role-playing simple conversations. Our Year 2 group focused on family and pets while also independently reciting the Spanish alphabet. The Year 3 students explored places around the school, classroom objects, and their favourite subjects in Spanish. The Year 4 students had a blast learning to count to 100 and created fun number games to practise this skill. In Year 5, students learned about food and shopping, role-playing buying food and clothing, as well as practising giving change in Euros. Finally, the Year 6 students concentrated on telling the time, discussing daily activities, and writing sentences to describe their ideal school schedules.

Learning a second language within a Christian school environment is truly a gift for our students. Spanish, as one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, is the native language of over 400 million people! There are numerous academic and social benefits to learning a language, including:

1 - Enhanced problem-solving abilities

2 - Boosted verbal and spatial skills

3 - Improved memory (both short and long-term)

4 - Greater creative thinking capacity

5 - Increased confidence for travelling abroad

6 - Expanded opportunities to study or work internationally

I encourage all students to continue their Spanish language journey and enjoy the process of becoming bilingual. As the year ends, we celebrate the progress each student has made. Their enthusiasm for learning a new language has set a strong foundation for future studies. We can’t wait to see them continue their language journey in the years to come!

Project Based Learning

Mr Dominic Shambrook Primary Curriculum Coordinator

“A wise student will hear and grow in learning. A student of understanding will become able.”

Proverbs 1:5

Project Based Learning has been full of memorable learning moments for our students throughout 2024. Students have been engaged in learning activities and have developed new skills that will set them up for success in future years. They have developed their confidence and ability to solve problems, work with technology and new programs, communicate ideas in new ways and manage themselves more effectively as independent learners.

Year 5 began the year establishing themselves as true 21st-century learners. While learning about space in the ‘PBL Astronaut’ project, students were immersed in skills workshops developing resilience, time management, collaboration, communication and agency. The Annual Year 5 Science Fair was a highlight held in Term 3, driving students to question the world around them and then showcase their deep understanding and scientific journey. They also studied animal adaptations for survival, discovered the history of Australian colonisation, and worked in community groups to combat the effects of natural disasters.

Our Year 6 group established themselves as Primary leaders, learning what it takes to develop a culture of servanthood to lead others. Students flexed their entrepreneurial muscles, pitching their million-dollar ideas to the ‘Shark Tank’ panel. They studied past events and how significant people from Australian history have affected today’s society by creating an engaging ‘Living Museum.’ Students took us on travel tours around Asia as they studied geographical places worldwide.

Plus, many more exciting learning adventures! Watching our students develop a love of learning through these exciting projects has been a pleasure.

Student Engagement

Mrs Claire Davies & Mr Shaun Hart Program Coordinators

The Student Engagement Team at King’s, a vibrant initiative led by former Year 6 teacher Miss Claire Davies and new addition Mr Shaun Hart, has quickly made a significant impact. This dynamic duo has elevated the role, fostering a harmonious and supportive school community for students in Years P-6.

Their primary focus is on leadership development and enhancing educational, social, emotional, and relational outcomes for students. Key programs include the School Captains and the breaktime ‘Peacekeeping’ Servant Heart program, which actively engages every Year 6 student in leadership roles with younger peers. Daily, Claire and Shaun lead individual and group leadership initiatives across the primary school, helping students discover their identity, purpose, and value in Christ, guided by the principles of ‘Love God and Love Others’.

The team has seen remarkable student initiative this year, with students introducing mascots, drums, and dance at sporting events, speaking at chapels and assemblies, and organising over 30 new activities for P-2 during break times. Their efforts include collecting student opinions and engaging in creative projects, such as building billy carts and writing stories.

In addition to leadership programs, the team organises lunchtime activities and community-building initiatives, introducing popular games and creative pursuits like dodgeball, pickleball, K-Pop, and watercolour painting. All activities align with the college theme of ‘Pursuit of Excellence’, as King’s strives to cultivate Christian leaders for the next generation. The Student Engagement Team’s innovative approach is transforming the school culture and empowering students to lead with purpose and enthusiasm.

Performing Arts

Mrs Christine Harm Director of Performing Arts

“We are what we repeatedly do; excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

Aristotle

As King’s Performing Arts department embraced our 2024 theme of ‘Pursuing Excellence’, it rapidly became evident that our cumulative habits were going to stand us in good stead for our events and projects this year. Having now been at the helm of Performing Arts for ten years, I can honestly say that it has been those daily and weekly rituals and routines that have brought us such excellent results and achievements across all our ensembles and performances this year.

However, excellence isn’t only about awards and prizes. The performing arts staff and I have witnessed many ‘behind the scenes’ moments of excellence in 2024 that consistently fuel our superb standards and ensure that we are moving from ‘good’ through ‘better’ to ‘best’. It may have been our Dance Troupe wishing other troupes ‘Chookas’ as their competitors moved onto the stage and assisting each other with hair and make-up in the dressing rooms. It might have been King’s Souldiers pushing outside their comfort zones to interact and make connections with peers from other SE Qld schools at ‘The Scene Project’ or experimenting with an improv skit that isn’t quite riffing yet. It might even have been our College Choir tackling a particularly tricky four-part harmony or our Rock Band running through that song one more time so it ‘goes off’ during the lunchtime performance the next day. Our students have learned the need to sit in discomfort before they can attain the surety of hitting that note or nailing that choreography. The ‘excellent’ habits honed over weeks and months have brought fruitful rewards through tenacious choices and calculated sacrifices.

Our students are also blessed to have magnificent mentors in the Performing Arts staff who demonstrate their own ‘excellent’ habits. They have developed because of a lifetime of dedication and passion for their own disciplines (be it Dance, Drama and/or Music), and our staff provide outstanding role models to whom our young people can aspire to experience the same level of satisfaction and joy in what we do every day.

From the position of DOPA, I thank each and every one of our Performing Arts staff and students for the quality and depth they bring to rehearsals, sound checks, costume fittings, meetings, performances and bump-outs. No matter where we find ourselves on a given day, it is always a genuine pleasure to work with such excellent people!

God bless each and every one of you, and I pray that the summer sojourn is refreshing and rejuvenating for you all.

Primary Choir

Mrs Amanda Cross

Primary Choir Teacher

Here at King’s, we have two Primary Choirs. These choirs are conducted by Mrs Amanda Cross and Mrs Benita Laird. The choirs are an important part of our Primary School having performed at many events this year. This has included our Staff Dedication Service, Building Dedication ceremony, Mother’s Day, Carnival Day, Grandparents Day, Cultural Day, Christmas Concert and Celebration Evening as well as various Honours Assemblies.

To become a member of our choirs, you do not have to audition, as we encourage every student with a love of singing to be a part of our groups. This year we have had well over 100 students involved across both of our choirs.

Our Lower Primary Choir is for students in Years 1-3. We rehearse every Tuesday morning before school at 7:45 am with Mrs Laird and Mrs Cross. This year, the students have learnt and performed a variety of songs, including “The Blessing”, “Che Che Koolay”, “Hakuna Matata”, and “Dream”, as well as some fun Christmas songs.

Our Upper Primary Choir is for students in Years 4-6. We rehearse every Thursday morning before school at 7:45 am with Mrs Cross. This year, the students have learnt and performed a variety of songs, including “The Blessing”, “Che Che Koolay”, “Whisper”, “Gratitude”, and “Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel”, as well as some fun Christmas songs.

Being a member of a choir provides so many benefits for students including a sense of belonging, confidence, discipline and teamwork. Through singing in a choir, a child also develops their aural skills and pitch by learning how to sing and work in harmony with others. Every week at choir, we focus on vocal warm-ups, a variety of fun singing exercises and learning how to sing in parts and with harmonies.

We look forward to another great year of choir in 2025 and welcoming new members to this wonderful program.

High School Choir

Mr Simon Reddrop High School Choir Teacher

This year, the College Choir has continued to see remarkable student numbers, fostering a vibrant community of young musicians. With the ability to sing in four-part harmony, the choir has continued to demonstrate impressive musical maturity, showcasing their vocal versatility through a diverse repertoire of music. Students continually develop their vocal range, tone, technique, and understanding of expression, connecting to the deeper meaning found within each piece they have performed this year.

The choir has performed at various school events, including Easter Fest, where they collaborated with the High School Rock Band, creating a memorable musical experience that is integral to the spiritual culture of our school. This year’s performances included special school events such as Carnival Day, Honours Assemblies, Chapels, and the High School Presentation Night.

Beyond performances, the College Choir fosters a fun and inclusive environment, encouraging students to connect with like-minded peers who share their love for singing. This supportive atmosphere enhances their musical skills and strengthens friendships, making choir an enriching experience for all involved. As they continue to grow and evolve, the College Choir continues to enhance the culture within our High School, inspiring students, staff and parents.

High School Dance Troupe

Mrs Ellia Davis High School Dance Teacher

“Dance is the hidden language of the soul.” Martha Graham

The high school dance troupe has had a fantastic year of growth, showcasing incredible talent and dedication. As an art form, dance allows our students to express themselves in ways beyond words. Watching them light up on stage, fully immersed in their movements, has been truly inspiring. Whether performing a complex routine or sharing an emotional story through dance, the student’s passion and energy shine through every performance.

This year, the troupe achieved remarkable success, competing at prestigious events such as the Gold Coast Eisteddfod and Dance X competition, where they made it to the state finals. Their dedication and hard work have indeed paid off. In addition to these competitions, the dancers have graced the stage at numerous school events, including Easter Fest, assemblies, Carnival Day, Presentation Night, the Christmas Concert, and the Performing Arts Showcase. Their performances have become highlights of these occasions, bringing joy and excitement to our school community.

We are immensely proud of the students’ achievements and growth this year, and we look forward to seeing how they continue to evolve as dancers and artists.

High School Rock Band

Mr Simon Reddrop High School Music Teacher

The High School Rock Band has shown remarkable growth in musicianship throughout the year, consistently honing their skills and expanding their repertoire. Their dedication has been evident in their energetic performances at numerous school events, including Teen Challenge, Easter Fest, Biz Day, and both the Primary and High School Easter Services at the beginning of the year, as they performed with the College Choir. They captivated audiences at the Performing Arts Showcase in Term 4 and brought a bluesy sound to the Christmas Concert.

The band’s diverse setlist features iconic songs from legendary artists such as Silverchair, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, U2, and Weezer, showcasing their versatility and ability to connect with various musical styles. Adding to their eclectic mix, they’ve even tackled hits such as Survivor/I’m a Survivor from Destiny’s Child and Gloria Gaynor, demonstrating their range, musical ability and passion towards different styles.

Each performance not only highlights their technical growth but also fosters a strong sense of camaraderie among the members, making each event memorable for both the band and the audience. The journey of the High School Rock Band this year has been one of passion and perseverance, and we look forward to seeing the ensemble continue to develop in the future!

King’s Souldiers

Mrs Christine Harm Director of Performing Arts

Since starting our King’s Souldiers acting troupe in 2019, it has been astonishing and inspiring to witness the passion and camaraderie of our troupe, no matter their ages, demographics or skill level. The risk-taking, adventurous spirit of all our Souldiers cannot be quantified, but my goodness, it is spectacular when in ‘full flight’!

This year we have tackled some new work and also jumped into programs we’ve loved previously, like The Scene Project with Qld Theatre. We participated in the Easter Fest project of ‘Crowns’, joining with other ensembles to collaborate on the incorporation of some physical theatre expression in the performance. Rarely does an opportunity like this come along for an acting troupe, so we grasped it with ‘both proverbial hands’ and learned so much about musicality and interpretation in a drama space.

That was swiftly followed by our work with ‘Flowers in Antarctica’, the brand-new play by Wendy Mocke commissioned by Qld Theatre for the Scene Project. Once again, we interrogated the text, experimented with characters and chorus groups, and eventually produced a truly innovative performance piece responding to the themes and plot points in a pared-back interpretation of the play. To present this to a diverse and open-minded audience was such a highlight of our year, as the feedback and compliments reminded us of the power of live performance, as well as experiencing the other schools’ works, which were so vastly different and unique from our own. Already, the Souldiers Troupe is super-keen for Scene Project 2025, when our friends at Shock Therapy Arts will be taking the reins to lead us through another exciting adventure!

Our final performance event was the Performing Arts Showcase to wrap up our 2024 celebrations of the ensembles. We ‘kept it simple’ and chose to abandon any script work and perform purely improvised skits, something never attempted by this bunch of madcap risk-takers! Their taste for improvisation, however, has now been well and truly whetted, and so we have resolved to continue pushing into those uncomfortable but rewarding exercises when we have no idea what will happen but learn so much along the way! Spontaneous theatrical exploration brings so many learning opportunities as well as loads of fun and ensemble-building moments.

‘Watch this space’ in 2025 – there are so many possibilities and so much potential!

Instrumental Music

Mr Lindsay Genge Director of Instrumental Music

“You know what made my education worthwhile? Music. It made me want to go to school, it made me want to stay at school, and it opened my eyes to what I could achieve at school. More importantly, it made me feel comfortable in school, and in myself. Music made it all worthwhile.”

Vaughan Fleischfresser

The backbone of Instrumental Music is the weekly lessons, which facilitate students’ upskilling, development and progress. These, combined with persistence and dedicated practice, lay a solid foundation for growth and success. Guided by highly accomplished and professional teachers, the students are guided toward mastering their craft. The mission of King’s‘Educating students in Christian leadership for tomorrow’s generation’, is nurtured within Instrumental Music.

All Year 4 students were immersed in a music experience with the compulsory Instrumental Music Immersion Program. The students learned one orchestral instrument over the year, with weekly lessons and ensembles undertaken. The program culminated in a concert for parents and the Year 3 students in Term 4. The Year 6 students also enjoyed learning an instrument with the acoustic guitar taught in the classroom music lessons.

Students involved in the school ensemble program gave public performances during the year at school and community events. These opportunities included ANZAC service, Easter Service and Easter Fest, Twilight Concerts, Carnival Day, Life Program concerts, Honours assemblies, Eisteddfods, Christmas Concert, and, of course, the fantastic Instrumental Music Showcase.

King’s Inter-campus ensemble workshops were offered this year for Band and Strings students. The inaugural Band Workshop was held at the Reedy Creek campus for Reedy Creek and Pimpama Senior and Junior Concert Bands. Mr. Grant Mason was the guest educator and conductor who joined with King’s Band instrument teachers for the day. The students and their respective bands benefitted greatly from the experience and were greatly energised for their upcoming participation in the Eisteddfod.

King’s strings students from Reedy Creek, Pimpama and Logan Village joined together for a day-long workshop at the Pimpama campus, where they learned new skills and improved their craft on their string instrument. Many of King’s educators and our guest educator, Mr. Mark Sullivan, facilitated the event.

A very special highlight this year was the participation in the Quota Beenleigh and Gold Coast Eisteddfods. Our ensembles achieved commendable results in every category, as follows:

1st Place:

King’s Chamber Ensemble, Mr. Ryan Chislett

Junior Concert Band (including Pimpama), Mr. Jacob Aspinall

2nd Place:

Junior String Orchestra, Mr. Ryan Chislett

King’s String Orchestra, Mr. Sam Konise, conducted by Mr. Ryan Chislett

SHEP Queensland - 10 students;

SHEP Brisbane - 4 students;

SHEP South East Queensland - 14 students;

SHEP Primary - 3 students

The Australian Honors Ensemble Program (AHEP) accepted two students for the program this year: Michelle Huang (Cello) and Calre Chung (Violin).

Chamber Excellence Program

Mr Ryan Chislett Instrumental Music Teacher

The Chamber Excellence Program at King’s Christian College continues to make a lasting impact on our student musicians, fostering exceptional talent and nurturing the next generation of chamber musicians. This year, the program has once again proven its value, providing students with private lessons tailored to their repertoire and helping them refine their ensemble skills.

A shining example of the program’s success is our Senior String Quartet, who achieved remarkable results at both the Gold Coast Eisteddfod and the Beenleigh Eisteddfod. Competing in the open quartet category at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod, the quartet secured an impressive 2nd place, sharing the podium with a string quartet from the Gold Coast Youth Orchestra and coming in behind a quartet from the UQ Chamber Music Society, making them the highest achieving school String Quartet on the Gold Coast. Their hard work and dedication also earned them a Very Highly Commended at the Beenleigh Eisteddfod, going up against tough competition from top groups from Brisbane.

The personalised guidance provided through the Chamber Excellence Program played a significant role in preparing the quartet for these competitions. With the momentum of this year’s success behind them, the quartet is now setting their sights on a national competition in 2025 - a testament to their ambition and the program’s capacity to help students achieve their musical goals.

We are incredibly proud of our students’ progress and look forward to seeing even more achievements from the Chamber Excellence Program in the years to come!

Sport

Mr Jason Grady Director of Sport

As another exciting year draws to a close, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the accomplishments and progress of our sports program. At King’s, our top priority remains nurturing young men and women of character and leadership. While talent can carry you so far, true success in sports—and life—requires integrity, humility, compassion, respect, perseverance, and self-control. Winning is certainly an achievement, but developing who you are as a person is what truly matters. We value and appreciate every student here, and I look forward to strengthening our program each year.

At King’s, we take great pride in offering our students the opportunity to represent our school at a high level across a diverse range of sports. The year has been filled with remarkable achievements, with King’s teams winning state titles in Basketball, Rugby, Netball, Football, Futsal, Touch, Rugby 7s, and Beach Volleyball. It’s incredible to think we have some of the top teams and athletes in all of Queensland, and I couldn’t be prouder.

Our strong performance in APS sports continued this year, with King’s winning a high percentage of premierships across both Seasons 1 and 2. This success highlights the strength of our sports program and the dedication of our students and staff, who consistently go above and beyond with extra sessions and hard work. It has been incredible to watch so many of our students represent multiple State teams. Beyond team achievements, we’ve had hundreds of students competing at Regional, State, and National levels across a wide range of sports, including our three major carnival events: Swimming, Cross Country, and Athletics.

Finally, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our incredible sports team. Their passion for helping our students reach their full potential, both on and off the field, is truly inspiring. Each one of them contributes tirelessly to support the vision of our College, and their dedication makes all the difference. I hope you enjoy the sports section of this magazine, where you’ll see firsthand just how exceptional our students are. We are, King’s!

Athletics Carnival

In the final week of Term 2 we ventured up the M1 to Runaway Bay for our annual Athletics Carnival. We started each day with house chants, performed with much gusto, setting the scene for two days full of colour, energy and wonderful performances on the track and in the field. In the end Tyndale house proved too good, once again taking out first place. The final house placings were:

With many of our team being affected by injury and sickness, it was a mad scramble to fill the team and allow ourselves to compete for our sixth consecutive APS Shield. To the staff and students’ credit, our team spirit shone through, with athletes willing to put the team first and participate in extra events as required. It was a great finish to the day by our sprinters, winning six relay races in a row and helping us end the day 80 points clear of Emmanuel College to win the APS Shield again. The team was led by our captains Sylvie Mutu (Year 7), Adam Douglas (Year 10), Charlie Miller (Year 12), and Jay Sammut (Year 12). Big thanks to all our staff and, in particular, our coaches Murray Goodwin, Josh Hall, Mr Mal Muir and Jayda Anderson for all the work you put into preparing our team.

We had two further wins for the day with our Cross Country Captains, Joseph Lethlean and Kyah Anderson, coming home victorious in the 17yo age group. Kyah was once again dominant, annihilating the field from the gun.

Adam Douglas 15yo 18th

Kyah Anderson 17yo GOLD, Team BRONZE

Joseph Lethlean 17yo 11th, Team GOLD

Charlie Miller Did not run due to injury

Special mention to Year 12 student Kyah Anderson, who has won the State Championships on six consecutive occasions. To be able to compete at these championships 6 years in a row is a wonderful effort but to win 6 times is a phenomenal effort and shows great consistency and resilience.

National Cross Country

The National Championships ventured south to Yarra Glen in Victoria in August. Our sole representative was our captain, Kyah Anderson. Kyah finished with a Bronze medal in the individual race and a Silver as part of the Queensland relay team. A great finish to a wonderful school career.

A massive thank you to our coaches, Mr Mal Muir and Jayda Anderson, for their commitment to the program across the year, supporting our athletes at both training and competitions.

Rugby

Mr Tristan Mana Director of Rugby

This year, we have experienced wonderful results across all sports. Still, the real win has been the improvement across all teams with our on and off-field behaviour and the commitment to your education and sporting outcomes. This isn’t just a Rugby program. This is about Communication, Confidence, Self-Esteem and, most importantly, Time Management, where every day, we encourage and try to bring out the best in each other. Just like it’s the coach’s responsibility to bring the best out in the players, it’s the player’s role to bring out the best in their coaching teams. We have seen an amazing increase in High School students communicating their season and training absences to coaches instead of Mum & Dad emailing afterwards. Students are knocking on my door, seeking feedback and inquiring about ways to improve their opportunities in our sports programs. This is one of the great ways the King’s school sports programs support the ongoing development of our future Christian sporting and community leaders.

Ballymore Cup

We returned to the Ballymore Cup with a 13 Boys, 15 Boys & 18 Boys teams who competed in XVs and the King’s 18 Girls in the 10’s division with the 18 Girls winning their inaugural event. One of the highlights of the season has been our U13 Boys Ballymore Cup team, who have made history by securing their third consecutive championship title! Their hard work, resilience, and team spirit have set a shining example for all our players. This is an amazing outcome in an event where we compete against Rugby Schools from across the Qld Schools landscape.

APS Sport

The Primary APS Rugby season had three teams in the Year 4, 5 & 6 divisions. Special mention goes to Coach Mai and the Year 4 team for an undefeated APS season and winning the DNK Cup tournament. Qld Rugby awarded Division MVPs with the following King’s players being recognised - DNK Cup Year 4 MVP Carter Acworth and the DNK Cup Year 6 MVP Braxtyn Truman.

The High School APS teams demonstrated exceptional skill and determination this season, making it to their respective division finals. They won three Championships in the Year 8, Year 9 and Year 10 Division, with our 1st XV putting up a gallant fight in the grand final to claim 2nd place. This remarkable achievement reflects the commitment and talent of our players and coaches alike, and we couldn’t be prouder of their performances throughout the season.

1st XV Tour to Christchurch

The 1st XV embarked on an unforgettable tour to Christchurch, New Zealand. This experience provided valuable competitive exposure and fostered camaraderie and sportsmanship among the players. The memories created and lessons learned will undoubtedly shape their future both on and off the field.

Tour Matches played against St Andrews 20 - 26, Christchurch U18 Barbarians 19 - 19 and Shirley Boys 35 – 33.

U15s Tour of Sydney

Our U15s also had an incredible opportunity to tour Sydney in a 12-hour bus ride to compete against Australia’s oldest School Rugby, Newington. This tour enhanced their skills and broadened their understanding of the game while also allowing them to bond as a team and create lasting friendships through our nightly Theatre Sports team-building exercises. Tour Match played against Newington 24 - 24

2024 Rugby 7s

After the APS Rugby Union season, the Boys Rugby 7s campaign began in Term 3. This year, they competed in the Santos All Schools 7s tournament, with our three teams being competitive throughout the competition. The 13 boys finished 2nd, the U15 boys finished 3rd, and the U18 boys finished 4th overall.

2024 has engaged 60 students aged 10 – 17 in the King’s Girls Rugby 7s program. Each year, we see a lot of new faces, and it’s exciting to see the continued growth and interest. There are many highlights in a program that runs over four terms, including attending multiple tournaments, including the Moreton Bay 7s, Villanova 7s, the Santos All-Schools 7s and the Annual Sleepover in the Hub. This has become an integral event in our program where the foundational values are grounded, new friendships are formed, and sisterhood begins. We strongly believe that if we create a good environment off the field where players feel supported, encouraged and valued, everything on the field takes care of itself. It is the key to our program’s success, in addition to our amazing coaches CJ, Elisha and Brad, who are extremely passionate about the role they play.

We headed into All Schools Championships with three strong teams across the U13, U 15 and U18 age groups, with our U15 girls bringing home the Cup for the second year in a row. A special mention to Abby Coetzee (U13) for being named to the age Merit team at the end of the tournament.

We are very proud of our players who made the Australian School GirlsKaelyn Passi, Aaliyah Lama, Evie Sampson & Billie Backus and Fa’agase Tupuola-Palale, who were selected in the Australian Youth Team!

As we reflect on this season, we celebrate the achievements of our players, the dedication of our coaching staff, and the unwavering support of our community. Together, we are building a strong foundation for the future of our Rugby program. Thank you for being a part of this journey, and we look forward to another exciting season ahead!

Netball

Miss Alicia Green

Netball Coordinator

2024 has been another incredible year of achievement for the King’s Netball Program. Our success in the APS competition, Club Competition, Net Set Go program and commendable performances of our representative teams continue to showcase the depth we have in Netball at King’s. We said goodbye to our Year 12 students who helped pave the way for King’s Netball and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

APS Netball

We had great success in Primary and High School APS competitions, with 12 of our High School teams competing for an APS Premiership this year. Of those 12 teams, 9 took out premierships, which is an amazing achievement. While we don’t typically keep track of the scores in our Primary competition, we would also like to acknowledge the incredible efforts of our Year 5 team who went through their APS competition undefeated.

Club Netball

The King’s Netball Club continues to show great strength and development. Eight teams competed across Saturday and Monday competitions at HDNA, including our first Mixed Netball team. Notably, six of our teams made the finals. We want to acknowledge our volunteer coaches and parents for their ongoing support of all players and officials and for helping in our community.

Representative Netball

Twelve students represented our College in Hinterland, South Coast or Queensland teams. Special recognition of Harlow Faaee and Brooklyn Kingi, who represented Queensland at Netball School Sport Nationals, where Harlow was awarded MVP for Queensland and Brooklyn was named in the Aussie Merit Team.

New Zealand Tour

This year, we had an amazing time in Auckland, filled with competitive netball, an elite training session with Silver Fern Tayla Earle, and exciting off-court activities like white water rafting, the Skyline Luge, night markets, attending a home Warriors game, and plenty of team bonding moments. We were very fortunate to be hosted by some of the best schools in not only Auckland but in NZ where we were able to learn a new style of play and then bond with them afterwards. It was an incredible experience with an amazing group of players.

GT Cup Trophy

Continuing with their APS success at the GT Trophy, our year 5 Team won their Division for the second year in a row, going through undefeated. Our Year 6 team, continuing their strong end to the season, made it all the way to the grand final, going down by three goals in a nail-biting GF.

Vicki Wilson Campaign

Our Junior Vicki Wilson team are back-to-back State Champions! Building on the previous year’s Vicki Wilson campaign, we had another highly successful representative year. At the Regional round, our College displayed excellence in all five divisions with our Open Development team (Winners), Junior Development team (Runners Up), Boys Team (Winners), Open Cup Team (Runners Up & Qualified for State) and Junior Shield Team (Winners & Qualified for State). At the Vicki Wilson finals series, our Senior Cup team finished a respectable 7th in the State, and our Junior Shield Team went through undefeated to reclaim the prestigious title. Special mention to Mischa Barker who was awarded MVP of the Grand Final match. We are very proud of all our players’ dedication to this sport.

2025

We have already started planning for another exciting year in 2025 and look forward to another great year. We want to continue developing our Strength and Conditioning Program with Laura King, as we know this plays a pivotal role in the preparation for competitions. We welcome Senior Head Coach Lana McCarthy whose expertise ranges across an array of Elite levels whilst fostering an environment of culture and leadership. Although this is my last year in the Netball Coordinator role, I am very honoured to have had the support of parents, coaches, staff and most importantly, the students in helping to represent women’s sport at King’s so strongly and proudly. Thank you for all your ongoing support, and we can’t wait to see what happens in 2025 at King’s!

Basketball

Mr Steve Weiland Basketball Coordinator

2024 has been a year to remember for King’s Basketball! The development of our program has continued to grow and has shown on court this year. Between the highly successful club season and some momentous achievements in our State CBSQ Competitions, we are beyond proud of everyone involved.

Club Basketball

We saw another high level of participation with our club teams in 2024 across both the Winter and Summer Seasons. It’s been incredible to see some of the talent on display and so rewarding to see the hard work that our players and coaches have put in pay off over the year. A special mention goes to the following Winter Club teams who fought their way into finals and finished first or second place in their division.

Winners:

U12 Boys Lions

U12 Boys Bears

U14 Girls Eagles

U21 Boys Lions

Runner’s Up:

U10 Boys Rhinos

U16 Boys Bears

U18 Boys Eagles

We would also like to sincerely thank all our volunteer coaches, managers, scorers and supporters. Our club is only as successful as it is with your dedication and loyalty to the players and the program.

Representative Basketball

Congratulations to all our King’s Basketball athletes selected to compete at a representative level this year. We had a huge 21 students represent King’s through the school sport pathway at a Hinterland, South Coast, or QLD level, which is up there with the most we have ever had. Congratulations to everyone involved!

CBSQ State Championships

The 2024 CBSQ campaign has been one for the history books! We saw a lot of strength across all 8 of our CBSQ teams, from our Primary 3x3 teams to our Open teams. Our Primary Boys & Girls showed amazing growth during their tournament, with each team finishing 5th and 9th place in Division 1, respectively.

Our Junior Girls and Open Girls maintained a consistent top 8 finish in Division 1 whilst our Open Boys also fought hard against some tough competition to retain their Division 1 status for 2025. I want to acknowledge and farewell our graduating Year 12 students after their many years of commitment to King’s Basketball. We are immensely proud of the athletes and people you have become and the legacy you left in our program.

Finally, I’d like to honour our Junior Boys team for being crowned the Division 1 Champions 2024! This is the first time in King’s history that any of our teams have won a gold medal at the State Championship, and it is a testament to these players’ passion, hard work and character. Congratulations to all players, coaches and staff involved in this incredible achievement. We can’t wait to continue seeing this group grow into the Open’s competition.

Thank you again for your ongoing support of King’s Basketball. We are looking forward to a bigger and better 2025!

Senior Schools Cup Volleyball

Our volleyball teams performed exceptionally at the QLD Senior Schools Cup, with our Year 12 Boys team leading the charge in the Honours Division. The boys powered through the tournament, going undefeated into the semi-final. Unfortunately, their momentum was halted after Jerome suffered a broken wrist, narrowly missing out on a spot in the Grand Final. Despite this setback, the team showed incredible resilience, securing the bronze medal.

In addition to the Year 12 Boys’ success, our Year 11 teams also made us proud. The Year 11 Boys took home the bronze medal in Division 1, while the Year 11 Girls shone brightly, capturing gold in Division 2. These achievements are a testament to our volleyball players’ hard work and dedication.

Congratulations to all the teams on their outstanding efforts and welldeserved medals!

Qld Volleyball Intermediate Schools Cup

It was a big weekend for our Year 9 & 10 Volleyballers as they took on their State Cup at Coomera. Congratulations to our Year 10 Boys, who came home with the silver medal, our Year 9 Boys who finished in 7th and our Year 10 Girls taking 18th.

The students came away with the following results:

Year 8 girls div 2 silver

Year 8 boys div 2 5th

Football

Mr Jordan Vincent Football Coordinator

Football at King’s Christian College has emerged as a hub for exceptional talent, demonstrated by the outstanding accomplishments of its students. A staggering 45 students (34 in 2023 and 27 in 2022) were selected to represent Hinterland, showcasing their skills and commitment to the game. Among these, 19 students advanced to represent the South Coast, and three went on to proudly represent Queensland, emphasizing their remarkable abilities. A standout in the school’s football program is David Bolongi, who was selected for the under-17 boys Asian Cup squad that won the Under-17 Asia Cup, further highlighting the program’s success.

King’s girls’ football program has also demonstrated exceptional talent and determination. The ISSA girls’ team narrowly lost in the semifinals, while the UHL Cup girls fought valiantly, losing in golden goal extra time during the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, the UHL Cup boys’ squad achieved a significant milestone by winning the UHL Cup in golden goal extra time. The Bill Turner boys displayed great determination, reaching the Area Championship but narrowly losing a closely contested match with a final score of 2-1. These results highlight the dedication and potential of the young athletes in the program, suggesting a bright future for King’s in both boys’ and girls’ football.

We honoured our foundation football team members, and we presented them with their First XI Jersey at our Football Presentation evening. We would not be prouder of this group of young footballers and are looking forward to continuing to build the foundation they have set at King’s:

Touch Football

Mr Tristan Mana

Director of Rugby & Touch Football

2024 APS Touch Football

With 28 King’s Touch teams competing in the APS Touch Football competition each week, Touch has established itself as one of the biggest sports in the APS Program. In an APS Sporting first, the High School had a hugely successful season, winning the Touch Premierships in all eight divisions. This is a testament to the dedication and capabilities of our Coaches & Teachers and the student’s commitment to training.

2024 High School All Schools Touch Football

The All-Schools Touch Tournament is the Largest in the World, with over 550 teams competing for the Gold Coast Titans All-Schools Championship across 7 Divisions. King’s teams play in two lead up events and assist with the running and Refereeing of our very own Primary and High School King’s Cup Touch Tournaments during the season.

The King’s teams competed well, with the 15 Girls team performing exceptionally, getting beaten in the Semi-Final by eventual competition winners. Special mention goes to the 13 Boys who competed at Palm Beach Touch in the Men’s Competition this season as preparation for the All Schools. They also had an awesome campaign going down in the quarterfinals.

2024 Queensland Primary All Schools

What an amazing weekend the King’s Primary Touch Football teams had at this year’s Qld Primary All Schools. With the introduction of the U10s Divisions, we took seven teams to compete for the State Championships. The U10 Girls & Boys and the U12 Girls were all successful in making the top division, with the other teams relegated to play in lower grades after pool play.

The big success story was the King’s 10 Boys, who made history by winning the Inaugural 10 Boys Division, having swept through the competition during both the pool play and final series. This is the 3rd successive tournament this team has won this year: The South Qld Primary All Schools, The King’s Cup and the Qld Primary All Schools. A huge congratulations to this team for bringing home our first Primary State Championship Title.

High School

Mr Kieron Vallance Head of High School

Reflecting over the academic year reminds us of all the amazing experiences students have had the opportunity to engage in at the College. Activities such as Chapels, APS Carnivals, Leadership Camps, Year Level Camps, Honours Award Services, Mission Trips, Performing Arts Musical production, Visual Art successes, Principal’s Cup events, Presentation Evenings, Careers Festival, the Year Twelve Formal, Graduation Dinner and Tunnel.

This year, Chapels and Assemblies have been enhanced and transformed, providing our students with a wide range of topics and experiences. These activities challenge students’ thinking and encourage them to feel confident in their faith when dealing with life outside of our Christian community. Our annual Hillsong Conference trip and Mega Chapels were well supported and touched the lives of many of our students. We are continuously blessed to have such a wonderful Chaplaincy team who work hard to support, mentor and guide our young people.

It has been so encouraging to witness large numbers of our students serving with passion within the ‘Life Program’, particularly in our ‘Crossroads’ outreach program. It was spectacular to watch the presentations by students in the ‘Day of Hope cultural celebration’ event that was held to showcase so many of our communities. This year, we have continued to support our charities, ‘You Have a Friend’, ‘Teen Challenge’, ‘100% HOPE’, and ‘Christmas Projects’. It has been exciting to witness our students working in the mission field, and they have been a wonderful support to various local and overseas communities. It was also very heartening to see some of our High School staff visit our sister school in Uganda. We also look forward to more overseas mission trips being available next year.

The Camps program went from strength to strength this year. The positive student and parent feedback has been greatly received and plans are underway to develop further the scope of how we can facilitate and enhance camp experiences. Seeing students being challenged, growing in confidence and developing their problem-solving skills was so exciting.

Our highly proficient and dedicated staff have continued to engage in virtual workshops and professional training. Teachers have been refining subject courses, delivering rigorous subject content on Compass, and preparing our senior students to negotiate the pressures of external exams. Observing our students’ willingness to engage with lunchtime assistance, after school tutoring and subject master classes has been encouraging. Also, students have engaged in various vocational training courses, school-based traineeships, and work experience. We pray for positive outcomes in the Year 12 external exam results.

It was tremendous to see the expansion of our College leadership program into a three-stage process with students being selected in Years 8, 10 and 12 to lead the College body. This has been particularly noticeable in our Year 7 & 12 afternoon, RU OK day and year group assemblies.

Sporting endeavours have continued to impress with amazing Carnivals, fantastic APS competition results including winning the APS Athletics competition. Further success in external sporting cup competitions in Basketball, Rugby, Soccer, Futsal, Netball and Volleyball have been great to witness.  A fabulous Netball tour to New Zealand and Rugby competitions in both New Zealand and Sydney. It was wonderful to see students performing on a local, state and national level. A big thank you to all the parents, staff and coaches who always invest so much of their own time to encourage, support and develop our students in their training and performances.

This year’s production of ‘Back to the 80’s’, was an amazing spectacle with wonderful choreography, music, and character portrayals on display over the two nights. A huge amount of hard work went into the costume design and music, which in turn made for a spectacular visual feast. The consistent commitment of the Performing Arts staff, helpers and students involved in all production areas resulted in an outstanding production that will set a high standard for future years. It was wonderful to see students taking their performances to the stage and winning in local Eisteddfods and Drama Festivals.

“Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Joshua 1:9

At King’s, we strongly encourage our students to aspire to the College’s Foundational Values: Live Purposefully, Love Faithfully, Learn Passionately and Lead Diligently. Evidence of these values has been demonstrated in students’ involvement in a broad variety of activities: Student Council, Anzac Service, ‘Life Program’, chess, Music, Drama and Dance competitions, eSport competitions, exhibitions, excursions, fundraising, Visual Art, Film, TV and New Media showcases, study soiree’s, cultural excursions, and numerous academic competitions.

Thank you to all the staff, parents, and students for making this such a memorable year. I look forward to the continued success of the High School in 2025.

God bless.

Reflections on a Year of Growth and Learning

This past year has been a journey filled with excitement, exploration, and incredible learning opportunities for our students. Through a wide array of experiences - from excursions to guest speakers and hands-on projects - our students have flourished in an environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a passion for learning. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the key highlights that have shaped an exceptional year.

Exploring Beyond the Classroom

At King’s, we believe that education isn’t confined to the classroom, and this year’s excursions have certainly proven that. Our students ventured into the wider community, discovering new perspectives and deepening their understanding of the world around them. Whether investigating local history, engaging with cultural experiences, or interacting with professionals in their fields, these trips brought lessons to life in vivid and memorable ways.

Some of the exciting destinations included:

• Tweed Regional Gallery

• Swell Sculpture Festival

• Local businesses

• Bangarra Dance Company

• Supreme and District Court in Brisbane

• Southport Magistrate’s Court

• Gold Coast Council

• Brisbane Broncos home ground

• Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

• Sea World Resort and Hotel School

• Dendy Theatre for a special screening of Macbeth

• Bond University, Griffith University, and Southern Cross University

• Zarraffa’s Coffee

• Brisbane Planetarium

• Movie World

• Molendinar and Burleigh for graffiti photography

• Burleigh for geographical data collection

• The Gallery of Modern Art

• Home of the Arts

• Gold Coast Suns training grounds

These adventures provided opportunities for our students to gain practical insights and experience the subjects they study in dynamic, interactive settings.

Business

Mrs Marcelle Searles Head of Humanities

Business

When people think of business studies, they expect mostly theory and little practical application. However, as a King’s business student since Year 10, I have found the subject to be both broadening and practical. Our coursework has strengthened our understanding of the business lifecycle and allowed us to apply our knowledge practically. We often take on roles as business consultants, creating reports that assess business environments and propose strategies to improve operations and marketing. Additionally, an excursion to Movie World provided insight into business repositioning strategies for growth, giving us valuable primary data for our feasibility reports. This experience offered a behind-thescenes look at major business operations and management. Throughout this challenging curriculum, Mrs. Batt has been a strong support, encouraging us to reach our full potential. Overall, this course has been highly rewarding and valuable.

Kayla Forster

Introduced to business concepts in Year 9, I found the subject’s reallife relevance particularly intriguing. Our senior business journey began in Year 10, focusing on start-up businesses, and culminated in Year 12 with analysing businesses in the post-maturity stage. One memorable experience was the Year 10 group project, where we developed a revolutionary idea for tech-savvy shopping trolleys. This creative endeavour remains a highlight of our business education.

Throughout the course, we’ve learned to analyze businesses from a consultant’s perspective, gaining skills applicable to real-world work environments. The subject has challenged us to refine our entrepreneurial abilities and improve our visual and literary skills, essential for our Year 12 assessments. Our proactive and supportive teacher has been a major source of inspiration, motivating us to excel.

Overall, business studies have provided valuable real-life skills, knowledge, and memorable experiences that extend beyond the classroom, making the subject both enjoyable and practical.

Mihalo Daric

Accounting

In Year 12 Accounting, our focus has been on monitoring the resources of a trading GST business and creating detailed financial documents, such as classified financial statements, to assess business performance. This course has provided us with a strong foundation in real-world accounting and a deep understanding of both public and private companies.

As part of our IA3 project on cash management, we started a business from scratch using MYOB software, a tool commonly used by professional accountants. We used MYOB to generate and analyze the necessary financial documents based on the provided business information.

Overall, the Accounting subject has offered valuable insights into future business careers and equipped us with problem-solving, critical thinking, and essential business skills. These experiences and skills will prepare us exceptionally well for our future endeavours.

Legal Studies

This year, King’s legal studies students participated in the Queensland Schools Constitutional Convention (QSCC), a program designed to educate secondary students about the Australian Constitution and how it guides our democracy. We were invited to debate whether the voting age, currently set at 18, should be lowered to 16. Throughout the day, we listened to presentations both for and against the change and had opportunities to share our opinions and ask questions about the potential effects of the new law. Ultimately, the day gave us an inside look at the decision-making process behind legislation and, for some of us, solidified our desire to pursue a career in the field.

Lynne Ng

At the start of Term 3, a small group of Legal Studies students from years 10 and 11 were chosen to participate in the 29th Queensland Schools Constitutional Convention. The convention aimed to discuss a legal issue surrounding the Australian constitution. This year, the question was posed regarding Section 41 of the Australian Constitution, “Should the voting age remain at 18 years old?” We heard from various speakers throughout the day and engaged in various debates and discussions. Overall, this day was beneficial in expanding my knowledge of the Australian Constitution.

Sigrid Nix

English

Mrs Tanya Dobson Head of English

English at King’s Christian College has introduced new texts, a refreshed curriculum, and modernised assessment methods to better align with the evolving demands of our contemporary world. The focus for this year has been on building fundamental literacy and comprehension skills to equip our students with the ability to reach higher academic levels.

All year levels have had silent reading for 10 minutes per lesson, which adds up to over 25 hours of additional reading time for each student in high school. Year 7 have experienced a new novel, ‘The 7th Most Important Thing’, and it was commonplace to see students sitting and reading before and after school, even in break times. In addition, they were delighted with an interactive museum of interesting trinkets donated by staff to further reinforce their learning. Year 8 assessment has been adapted to the newest research that supports student learning and performance with testing in ‘increments’, often spread out over a week.

Year 7 and 8 students had the privilege of learning from visiting poets Vuong Pham and Luka Lesson, who shared their expertise in crafting professional poetry. We also had the exciting opportunity to collaborate with the Logan Village campus for this enriching experience.

In Year 9, both the female and male classes have continued to achieve remarkable success, with new initiatives incorporating modern text types and AI tools to enhance learning. Year 10 students have benefited from a tailored approach to prepare them for the senior workload and academic challenges, with particular attention given to visual learners and students requiring additional support. Furthermore, we were privileged to have a Vietnam War Veteran visit during Term 2 to share his experiences with students studying War Poetry.

The Poetry Slam is growing to even greater heights – our third year! We have seen absolutely incredible performances from our students who prepare and perform original poetic masterpieces, and we couldn’t be prouder.

This year, we again offered exciting incursion opportunities. The visiting theatre troupe, Shake & Stir, presented Macbeth for Year 12 and Romeo and Juliet for Year 9. Year 12 also had their first-ever excursion to watch Macbeth at the Dendy Cinemas in Southport for a full production experience. Once again, the ability for students to choose their preferences echoed in Year 11 and Year 12 as students selected specific text studies (plays and films), allowing for passion and preference to stand firm in English studies.

We were thrilled to host the first Write a Book in a Day event for Year 7-10 students on the last day of Term 2, led by Miss Olivia French and Miss Chloe Marlow, with support from Mrs Krystel Daly. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience that helped our budding writers grow. The English Department also offered Year 7-12 students the opportunity to represent King’s with poise and excellence in the A B Paterson Public Speaking competition and attend the Somerset Writers’ Festival, where they engaged with professionals in the writing industry.

2024 has seen the English Department focus on ‘refining the details’ and ensuring that students are ready to learn with the correct equipment and the right attitude so that learning can be challenging and successful. We also appreciate the hard work of the Education Support Officers who facilitate exceptional learning experiences and are essential for all students to successfully access learning opportunities.

Our year has been marked by a concerted effort to foster an environment that encourages open dialogue and effective teamwork among students and educators alike. English at King’s Christian College continues to thrive through consistency, respect and support for both students and teachers.

Mr Craig Cutler & Mrs Emily Davie

Acting Head of Christian Studies & Christian Studies Teacher

Year 7

The Year 7 students began their high school journeys by reflecting on their understanding of God and their faith. They then delved into a study of the parables of Jesus to discover how to unpack scripture and learn from Christ’s teachings. Students engaged in the development of their leadership skills from a Biblical perspective and how they can use their gifts, talents and abilities to be a service to those around them. Students participated in Peacewise lessons to develop conflict resolution skills and how to maintain positive relationships with others after conflict.

Year 8

Year 8 students started by developing an understanding of how to maintain and build their faith amidst challenges and sufferings. They then learned how to use their gifts, talents and abilities to serve and lead those around them. The year ended with an engaging study of the Biblical allegory of “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.” A famous novel written by C.S. Lewis.

Year 9

The Year 9 students began their year of gender-streamed classes by engaging in a biblical study of holistic health and wellbeing. They were then challenged to consider how to develop maturity and Christ-like character while observing and studying the lives of various Old Testament figures and Jesus. Students finished the year by discussing the biblical truth behind love and relationships.

Year 10

Year 10 students embraced the College’s foundational value of ‘learn’ as they undertook a study of the foundation of the biblical narrative, which reveals the redemptive arc of sin, redemption and restoration seen throughout the Old and New Testament Scriptures. This paved the way for exploring various theological questions regarding faith and the world around them and led them to explore the life of Jesus and His miracles and ministry. Finally, students contemplated the idea of human dignity and how Jesus’ love can be shown to all areas regardless of background or experience.

Year 11

Year 11 kicked off engaging in Peacewise, a program exploring conflict resolution from a biblical perspective of redemption and reconciliation. Students then had the opportunity to choose an elective course in Christian Studies with a range of learning outcomes from diving deep into their faith, developing a broader understanding of the power and purpose of prayer, wrestling with big questions regarding faith, or engaging in classes focussing on developing strong men and women of faith. In the second semester, the Year 11 students continued to focus outwardly on developing servanthood leadership and living their lives on a mission for others.

Year 12

Year 12 students began with defining their identity in Christ and moved on to engage in ‘crucial conversations’ based around contemporary cultural topics and gained an understanding of the biblical perspective of these topics and how to approach them with love and grace. The final unit, ‘Next Step’, empowered students to engage in the world around them and extend grace to others while remaining steadfast to their convictions and values based on their identity in Christ.

Congratulations to all our students for a stellar year filled with learning and artistic excellence!

Food Technology & Textile Design

Mrs Diann Tierney Subject Coordinator

Food Technology and Textiles Design is a subject that develops a range of knowledge and skills that create a strong foundation for all subjects as well as equipping students with practical skills for life. The subject focuses on the well-being of individuals, families and communities and how to interact within those spheres in the 21st Century. Students discover new knowledge and skill sets, helping them to become responsible, contributing global citizens.

Studied contexts in Middle School Food Technology and Textiles Design include nutrition and healthy eating, looking at nutrients and modern-day access to food. Interior design is investigated, where students are asked to research, design and then execute (in digital form) a tiny house using the elements and principles of design. Fibre investigation and experimentation are implemented in designing a bag that allows students to discover the importance of textiles in our society, culminating in the production of useful everyday products.

Our senior students in Food and Nutrition have looked at the study of sustainability and food futures, nutrients, food science and product development. Students have experimented with new ingredients, new additions to products as well as new ways of production and the improvement of nutrition components. With the future of foods changing as we head further into the 21st Century, our students are learning skills and information to take into the future in which they will manage and live.

Geography

Mrs Marcelle Searles Head of Humanities

Geography has been such a fun and insightful subject. It has given us many unique experiences, such as the Tangalooma Moreton Island trip. From snorkelling in shipwrecks to swimming with sharks and stingrays at SeaWorld, we have been given incredible opportunities. We learn so much more than just countries and flags, but about the world we live in and how it has shaped our lives today. Geography has given us insight into how privileged we are to live in such a beautiful and resource rich country and taught us not to take things for granted. Not to mention, the ATAR scaling will save us (it scales up!), and we all love Mrs. Searles.

Summer Mitchell and Sienna Blackburne

Geography is often misunderstood but despite common stereotypes, it’s been among the most rewarding subjects. The course dives into real-world environmental and social challenges, encouraging the development of unique solutions. In the classroom, students broaden their perspectives, refine their skills, and tackle assignments, including working with data and creating detailed graphs. Excursions have been a highlight, offering hands-on experiences like swimming with sharks and fieldwork at beautiful locations. Geography has been invaluable in preparing for a future career in conservation science, all while being an enjoyable experience.

Beth Vaotuua

Our Year 11 Geography studies have been enriching and transformative. We’ve explored the complex interactions between communities, the environment, and the economy in our fast-changing world, giving a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities shaping our local communities. Through discussions and hands-on projects, we’ve examined proposals for improving our communities, analysed sustainable development, assessed the impact of urbanisation, and considered environmental stewardship. We’ve honed our critical thinking skills by linking theory with real-world applications, empowering us to propose innovative solutions to today’s geographical issues.

Ava Saran

In Year 10 Geography, we’ve sharpened our skills in mapping and graphing, helping us to analyse trends and patterns in the world around us. Our small, close-knit class has felt like a family as we’ve explored topics like environmental sustainability and stability. Highlights included a trip to SeaWorld, where we saw the impact of marine debris on the Great Barrier Reef and swam with incredible marine species like sharks and rays, deepening our commitment to protecting these creatures. This term, we’ve shifted focus to human wellbeing, learning about the geography of humanity and the challenges faced by developing countries. Our boisterous yet dedicated group is passionate about our planet and its people.

Angella Hocking

Year 11 Geography explores the complex relationships between people, the economy, and the environment. This dynamic subject offers a range of activities and skills, including studying global urbanisation trends, community development, and sustainability. As part of the IA3 field report, students took an informative excursion to Burleigh, where they conducted hands-on analysis of sustainability and liveability factors, leading to detailed proposals for improving the area’s quality of life. Guided by enthusiastic teachers, the course helps students develop essential skills and a deep understanding of geographical concepts and their practical applications.

Skye Sealey

In Year 10 Geography, our class has grown closer and learned a lot from our amazing teacher, Mrs. Sophie Threlfo. We’ve developed academic and real-world skills, becoming more aware of global issues and how to make a difference. Our studies on environmental change, management, and human wellbeing have opened our eyes to what’s happening around us. A field trip to SeaWorld deepened our understanding and brought us closer as a class as we snorkelled with marine animals, completed workbooks, and enjoyed the rides. Geography is a subject every student should consider from Year 10 to Year 12.

Tahlia Donovan

History

Mrs Marcelle Searles Head of Humanities

In Year 12 Modern History at King’s Christian College, we studied important movements and events that influenced the world of today. My knowledge of the Middle East’s intricate political and social processes has grown through my studies of Israel from 1948 to 1993. Studying the United States from 1917 to 1945 showed how internal and international politics impacted the country’s ascent to powerhouse status. Studying antiterrorism, counterterrorism, and terrorist tactics—especially Australian and Islamic involvement in Asia since 1945—was the most influential and impactful component. Examining how past occurrences still affect present-day international politics and security tactics was interesting to me. The critical thinking and analytical abilities I developed in this class will be useful in my future academic and professional pursuits, particularly in international relations, law, and security studies.

Summer Lambert

History opens the mind to the world and offers a perfect opportunity to explore a range of interesting activities and concepts. It stimulates interest in different perspectives from many different cultures in the world. The aim is to develop important historical skills such as source analysis, critical thinking, communication and appreciation for the past. The learning offered is superb, and it is one of the best subjects offered.

Not only are the classes engaging and full of learning, but there are also several fantastic excursions that are fascinating and inspiring. White gloves experiences will immerse you in the artifacts of the past and educational tours will open your eyes to a hidden world of history that you would not have encountered otherwise.

Mrs Marcelle Searles Head of Humanities

Exploring the Humanities: A Journey Through Geography, History, Civics and Citizenship, and Business and Economics in Years 7 – 9.

Humanities at King’s Christian College covers Geography, History, Civics and Citizenship, and Business and Economics. Geography explores the relationships between people and their environments, addressing issues like climate change and urban development. History examines past events and their impacts, helping students appreciate cultural diversity and learn from past mistakes. Civics and Citizenship education focuses on the rights and responsibilities of citizens, encouraging informed and active participation in communities. Business and Economics teach students about the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, emphasizing financial literacy and economic understanding. Fieldwork activities, guest lectures, and practical projects like Biz Day enhance learning. This comprehensive approach equips students with critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills, preparing them to navigate and contribute to a complex, interconnected world.

Student stories:

In humanities, I learnt about geography (landscapes and how they are made), business (flow of money, TNC, price mechanism, etc.) and history (medieval times and the Crusades). I enjoyed economy/business and history in general as I’m interested in these topics. Economy/business can help if I get a job, start a business or do other things about money. Things learnt in history can be used to have common sense/knowledge and not repeat the mistakes made in the past.

Frederick Na

In humanities, we learnt more about erosion and weathering as our teacher taught us Geography. We enjoyed having Mr. S as our teacher. This will help us in our daily lives as we have learnt about the bad effects wasting water has on the environment.

Noah Evens

In humanities this year, we learnt business, geography, and history. We enjoyed the business topic of globalisation. If we want to start a business, it will help with information. But also, working in a business environment, you will need the information that we learnt in that topic.

Addison Hindman

In Year 8, our humanities studies broadened our understanding across various fields, including geography, business, and history. Geography deepened our awareness of the connections between places, people, and environments, highlighting the diverse values and beliefs among cultures. In business, we explored the economy, focusing on the interactions between governments, households, businesses, and banks. We gained valuable insights into taxation and learned how global resources are distributed. History allowed us to delve into the past, examining eras such as the medieval and shogunate periods, including the devastating impact of the Black Death, and understanding the influence on the present. We have also cultivated important abilities, such as conducting analysis, formulating explanations, and interpreting graphs and charts, all of which are indispensable skills for the future.

Katrina Vellilappillil and Michelle Huang

In Year 7 humanities, we learnt about numbers and other things around business and economics. In Term 1, we heard about water as a resource. I personally enjoyed business and economics the most. It is very practical, and I would like to learn more about money and how to make more of it. Business will help me outside school because I can run a business. It is very good to be able to make your own money through your own business. It is also very good to be able to manage your money properly.

Isabella Smith

Over the year, together we have learnt a variety of things. Some include geography, business, money and history. History involving Ancient Rome, China, Greece and Egypt. In business, we learnt how to save, invest and use a budget. We also learned the types of jobs and how to start a business. We enjoyed making our own business and making maps in geography. Something that was very useful is that we will now be able to invest and save money.

Japanese

Mrs Akiko Shimizu

Subject

Coordinator

I have enjoyed learning this interesting language over the past two years. This year in Term 3 we learnt about school timetables and the different subjects. My Japanese class has always been a positive environment to learn in, and I always come to class with a smile on my face, fascinated to learn more. I am excited to learn more next year and have a good time.

Maddison Lock

Japanese is a challenging and engaging subject that tests kids to pursue their full academic knowledge. In Year 7 and 8 compulsory Japanese, you learn about Japanese food, culture, traditions, customs, and lifestyle of Japanese citizens - as well as the three alphabets, Romaji, Hiragana and Katakana. Japanese is a perfect subject for anyone looking for something difficult and amusing. Japanese has taught me to persevere when learning gets tough and to appreciate a different culture. 2 Chronicles 15:7 states, “But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.” I love Japanese because I enjoy learning and pronouncing different words while surrounded by an encouraging environment. I also love learning/speaking a language my mum doesn’t understand!

Morgan Walker

Japanese has been a very tough but rewarding subject for me at King’s. Before coming here in Year 7, I was completely new to Japanese, yet as soon as this subject was introduced, I was self-driven to learn more. We covered ‘self-introductions’ in Term 1, ‘family and friends’ in Term 2, ‘My town’ in Term 3 and ‘My week’ in Term 4. My teacher, Mr Horiguchi, has taught me everything I needed to know to obtain four consecutive A+’s each term, for which I give him 90% of the credit. This year, Japanese has been a wonderful experience for me, and it has helped me learn things that few people know how to do. For example, only a handful of people have conversations with the checkout attendant at Sushi-Train in Japanese. Overall, this year has been great, and there couldn’t be a better Japanese Teacher at King’s than Mr Horiguchi. He has driven me as a student to achieve my academic goals and made learning Japanese something I enjoy and want to keep learning until I can fully conquer this foreign language.

Talus Manning

Japan Tour

The trip to Japan was honestly the best thing that’s ever happened. In the first half of the trip, we explored many iconic places in Japan; the second half was a homestay combined with our sister school, Seikyo Gakuen. I was also to stay with the best host family I possibly could’ve asked for, and now, because of this connection, I have lifelong friends in a different country. It truly was a life-changing experience.

Jerome Mak

Japan! Land of the rising sun! Magnificent countryside, steeped in history and culture, and absolutely beautiful and hospitable people.

Exhibit A: Mrs Shimizu.

Tokyo, gardens of the Emperor, shopping!, bright lights, Disneyland, Tokyo Tower, public transport, where’s Mrs Shimizu?, Shinkansen, 301km/hr, Mt Fuji, Takayama Jinya (Samurai), Nagano, onsen (traditional hot spring/ bath), skiing, snow monkeys.

Hiroshima, where’s Nick?, Itsukushima Jinja, Peace Memorial Park, respect, Okayama, blue jeans, Osaka, Seikyo Gakuen High School, steps, homestay, amazingly talented students, kendo, Universal Studios, School Christmas pageants, fire!, Family Mart, Lawsons, 7/11, vending machines, and only scratched the surface of this beautiful country. And now we sleep.

Mr Smith

I haven’t stopped thinking about Japan since my return to Australia, Some of my favourite memories were the Snow Monkey Park, Takayama, Hiroshima, and the Kyoto and Kurashiki visits. Seeing Mt Fuji was incredible from the Shinkansen, onsen, Osaka and Seikyo Gakuen Christmas Pageants, wonderful!

Mr Dax Foster Head of Physical Education

Health, Physical and Recreation Education

Physical Education provides students with the knowledge, understanding and skills to explore and enhance their own and others’ health and physical activity in diverse and changing contexts. 2024 saw our students engaged in various units to develop their movement sequences and strategies. Throughout the year staff have guided our students to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies to live healthy and physically active lives at school and for the rest of their life.

New in 2024 – Sport and Recreation

This year, we transitioned over to the new Sport and Recreation syllabus. Students were able to study units like Emerging Trends and Fitness. Pickleball was a huge hit with our students. They ran their first tournament at Currumbin. Mr Afu and Mr Tregenza have done an amazing job building this program. Both have provided an engaging atmosphere for our students to learn in.

Junior HPE

Students covered a range of units in Year 7-10 that promoted active lifestyles. Their thinking was challenged in a fun environment while they developed teamwork, leadership and interpersonal skills. Year 7 and 8 were treated to an Alcohol Educational performance, ‘SMASHED’, by the Gibber company. This was an inspiring live theatre experience with interactive performances and workshops for our students. One of the highlights was also the fitness testing unit in Year 9. Students learned about fitness components and principles of training while comparing their scores to state and national levels. Our Year 10 students again enjoyed the Recovery unit, experimenting with ice baths at P3 and learning about effective nutrition. This gave them an insight into the importance of recovery in a training program.

Health

2024 was an exciting year for our Health subject. There were some amazing results in the internal assessments. Students took part in the RYDA road safety program and were treated to a powerful message by Melissa McGuinness. A big thank you to Miss Capuano, who has spent countless hours building the health program. Her passion for this subject is one of the big driving factors behind its success.

Moving forward – next year, we will be implementing the new V9 Curriculum in our 7-10 HPE. I am excited to be working with Jacaranda to build this new program!

Science

Mr Samuel Flood Head of Science

“The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. He can be worshipped in the cathedral or in the laboratory. His creation is majestic, awesome, intricate and beautiful – and it cannot be at war with itself. Only we imperfect humans can start such battles. And only we can end them” – Francis Collins, Physician-Geneticist, Director of the NIH

Science was enjoyed and celebrated by the Science Department this year with the help of six Year 12 student leaders. 2024 STEM ambassadors Aclaire Sethakulvichai, Jerome Mak, Ashley Kwon, Sunho Choi, Tikaia Craig and Flora Chen inspired younger students to excel in their studies and have a love of learning by running activities such as a lunch club that gave students opportunities to do fun experiments in the lab and build gadgets using materials prepared with the laser cutter and 3D printers. They also created and hosted a very successful STEM quiz night, bringing together students from Year 7 to Year 12 in a social activity centred on academics. The STEM ambassadors also helped the Science Department celebrate National Science Week with a home-grown science show called ‘What Really Matters’. Liquid nitrogen, dry ice, hydrogen and helium were some

of the substances used to teach scientific principles about the properties of matter and physical and chemical changes. The show was enjoyed by an excited Year 3 cohort as well as junior and senior high school students over two lunchtime sessions.

Our Year 7 students also enjoyed an incursion from the ‘Wild Rangers’ team to celebrate this year’s science week theme, ‘Species survival, more than just sustainability’. The presenter brought a range of animals with which to inspire and educate students regarding the plight of native wildlife. Students were armed with a range of simple measures that ordinary citizens can take to be good stewards of God’s creation and protect important species.

Mr Cameron Baker Director of KTTC

As the year comes to a close, we look back on the incredible year that our students, staff and community have embarked on at KTTC. From little wins in the classroom to bigger events, 2024 has been a year of growth, collaboration and celebration. Let’s reflect on some of our key highlights from this year and what made it memorable.

To start us off, we had our second camp for KTTC, which was a major highlight. This wasn’t just a break from studies but a great opportunity for our students to build new friendships, create lifelong memories and be encouraged to explore and strengthen their faith. The camp allowed students to put on their competitive hats as we participated in lots of fun activities with a winner, of course, Jayden Bosson took out the ‘KKTC Camp Champion’ on the go-karting track.

During the term, our students embarked on learning different skills and knowledge through hands-on learning. By helping to coach the primary APS or in the primary specialist classrooms, learning the basics of servicing a car and knowing what to look out for when buying one, cooking, beach activities, and even a trip to Bunnings. The students also had the opportunity to use their hands in various work experiences. These real-world placements gave students invaluable exposure to the industry, allowing them to learn from experienced professionals and gain insights that can only be acquired on the job.

Starting a Diploma in Social Media Marketing at KTTC is an exciting opportunity for students to dive into the fast-paced world of digital marketing. Equipping students with practical skills to create and manage successful campaigns on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, preparing them for careers in digital marketing.

At KTTC, we have many different trade tasters, open nights and dressup days. Students continually get the chance to experiment with various trades and decide what their passion is. ‘Frenchie for a Day’ is where students experience life in a beauty salon. ‘Dress for Success’ was all about professionalism, teaching students the importance of presenting themselves confidently as they head toward job interviews and apprenticeships.

One of the most anticipated events on the KTTC calendar was ‘Tradie Day’, where students and staff fully embraced the spirit of all trades. The camaraderie of the day fostered a deep sense of pride in the trades, and it was a fun reminder of why we do what we do!

Throughout the year, we had inspiring guest speakers visit during assemblies and chapels, sharing their knowledge, experiences, and career advice. These sessions helped students expand their understanding of what is possible in the world of trades. Our Chapel team have led with energy and joy, building upon the school’s Christian foundations as the students hear and learn about God from real-life experiences.

Of course, an end-of-year recap would only be complete by mentioning the Year 12 Graduation and Formal. Our graduating class, dressed in their finest, celebrated their achievements with laughter, dancing, and memories to last a lifetime.

Our students have grown this year into incredible young men and women of God as they step out into the real world in their jobs, work experiences, and classes. We are so excited to see what the next year brings for our students as we continue to nurture their talents, guide them in their faith journey, and support their personal and professional growth.
