SURPRISE CELEBRATION LUNCH FOR YEAR 12

On Tuesday 13th October a special surprise celebration for our spectacular Year 12s was held during lunchtime. The most adorable guard of honour ever greeted the Year 12 students as they entered the library space, with Prep buddies lining the entrance beaming with big smiles for the special senior friends. 

There was a memorabilia display which the kids absolutely loved - much reminiscing was had! Friends joined together enjoying a catered South American themed lunch (tacos and paella) to view a fabulous video and photo journey throughout their school years.

This was originally planned for Term 3 and I'm so happy we were able to still do it! Thanks for all involved in making the Year 12s feel loved and special.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD - 

Christmas Shoe Boxes in 2020

As you're aware St Andrews Christian College has each year been involved in Samaritan's Purse's Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on way to bless children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and fun gifts. Samaritan's Purse collect the boxes and distribute them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations.

October is the collection month and while Samaritan's purse will still be collecting shoe boxes this year there's a new way to get involved. 

Due to Victoria’s current restrictions, Samaritan's purse understand that it might be challenging to shop and pack shoeboxes. Therefore, they've launched a new program: ‘Pack A Shoebox Online’. 

You can pack a shoebox online for just $30. Further information can be found here:

We would like to encourage you to help us share God’s love with children around the world. 

God bless,

YEAR 11 & 12 BOYS' PRAYER GROUP

Chaplain Rev Warwick Grant, Senior Teacher Mr Homar Pardo, Marketing Manager Peter Friend and myself run a Year 11 and 12 Boys' Prayer Group on a Friday lunch-time. 

We have had students attend regularly and even on Zoom during lockdown we had boys coming along. It is wonderful to see the College encouraging these young Men of God. 

On Thursday 22nd October we had more than a dozen students attend our FINAL Pizza Prayer and Pringles party today! It was great to hear the Year 11 students praying for their Year 12 peers about to undertake their Unit 3&4 VCE Exams.
