Year 12 Home Ec. Project

For their final assignment piece, the Year 12 Food and Hospitality

students baked and decorated special occasion cakes. Their

cakes were to demonstrate current trends in cake

decorating and to use a variety of elements and

decorating techniques. The final cakes showcased the

students skills, research findings and mastery of some

very challenging construction methods. Some great

results were achieved.

From the Principal

Dear Families,

It seems October 31 is a popular day!

Apart from the obvious attention given to what was formerly “All Hallow’s Eve” – the Day

before “All Saints Day”, you probably saw it was this year the 100th anniversary of the

Charge of the 4th Light Horse Regiment at Beersheba.

It was an epic event, with courage, nerve and gritty resolve. It makes for stirring reading,

and is worth finding a good account to read.

For me though, overshadowing other celebrations on this date, is the epic impact that

Martin Luther’s protest had in Germany 500 years ago this week.

Luther was a faithful and dedicated monk, who took very seriously the call to live and

teach the Christian Faith with all seriousness and integrity.

He had two strong passions welling up in him. The first was that the good news of the

Christian gospel was not being represented well. The people were being told that they

had to try hard to be good enough for God, with little assurance that they could have

peace and confidence in their hope in God.

The other conviction was connected to this – that people should be able to have access

to be able to read the Bible in their own language, so they could see and understand

these magnificent truths for themselves.

Mid North Christian College Notices

His realisation that the gospel (good news) was a gift of God profoundly affected him.

He read Habbakuk 2:4, and the words slammed deep into his soul.

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4 NKJV)

He began to read other parts of the Bible which confirmed what he had previously missed. Our righteousness is by the

kindness, the good grace of God. Not anything else.

A believers good standing before God is not a result of effort, or heritage, or worthiness – but of receiving the free gift of

God, and trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ at the Cross.

This section from the Bible in Ephesians explains it well:

“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a

reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has

created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:8–10 NLT-SE)

I pray these words will be an encouragement and a blessing to your soul too.

STAFFING—We are pleased to announce Crystal Farinola as our Deputy Principal—Secondary for next year.

PRIMARY MUSICAL PERFORMANCE

The end of year performance will be held here at MNCC on Thursday December 7th.

The Primary classes will each perform the item they are preparing.

There will be two performances, to allow parents and guests to see the show.

There will be a meal in between the performances for the community.

We have decided to plan for the next senior musical to be performed next year, which will be at the Northern Festival

Centre.

PAGEANT

The Port Pirie Twilight Christmas Pageant will be held on Saturday December 2nd.

Last year a group of our super keen parents organised a boat to be set up as a float with the theme “Noah’s Ark”

It was such a success they would like to do it again, only even better!

Kerry Stephens, Katie Evans and their families were key organisers last year, and would like to again make it happen!

Please contact the Front Office if you would like to be involved in the organisation of our float.

BREAKFAST CLUB
