ldquoOur visit and lunch at Parliament House was filled with many highlights As we entered the lsquoStrangers Dining Roomrsquo we were seated and joined by member for Parliament the Hon Stephan Knoll The elaborate menu made choosing an entreacutee and main course a very challenging task After lunch a quick trip to the viewing gallery was taken as we watched and listened to the Leader of the Opposition Peter Malinauskas make a speech

My Highlight for the trip was certainly our lunchtime conversations with the Hon Stephan Knoll as we discussed many relevant and interesting topics My steak for main course was also a highlight Benjamin Roennfeldt

COLLEGE LEADERS VISIT PARLIAMENT HOUSE On Thursday 14th February our College Leaders travelled to Parliament House to meet the Hon Stephan Knoll

lsquoThe whole trip was really a fantastic opportunity for us to meet a member of our local Parliament and receive advice that we will continually remind ourselves of as we serve this school through our leadership positions Personally I really valued witnessing our local governing body in action and was inspired by the bountiful levels of dignity respect and dedication that were showcasedrsquo Jonty Nokes

Held on the second Sunday of February the morning is filled with colour and vibrancy The local wine fraternity Barons of Barossa arrive cloaked in robes of red and yellow Faith students arrive dressed in bright colours and flowered head pieces from yester-year The historic creaky wagon carries the dark sun ripened berries freshly harvested from a local Shiraz vineyard The community awaits and watches as the procession moves from the tree lined main street of Tanunda to the Tabor Lutheran church

DECLARATION OF VINTAGE While it may be easy to get caught up in the colour and elaborate ceremony of the day at the heart of this special event is a blessing Eight Faith students bring three baskets of vine ripened fruit to the altar of the church to be blessed As the local Pastor blesses the grapes the congregation of Barons community young and old thank God for the fruits of this land

ldquoOur pioneers came to this blessed land and live here And God you blessed them and their land They planted grain and vines And you God gave the harvest The land produced quality grapes for our famous wines We thank you God for this and for all the good things you give usrdquo

After the Blessing of the Grapes Ceremony Faith students guide the grapes down the main street of Tanunda to await the lsquofirst crushrsquo Here the community welcomes and celebrates the 2019 Winemaker of the Year and the 2019 Vigneron of the Year The vintage is forecast by the Barons ndash another quality year is promised by the wine fraternity who collectively share an unparalleled knowledge and wisdom of this region

Members of the community are invited to taste the first drops of vintage for themselves As the Winemaker and Vigneron of the year carefully place the blessed fruit through a vintage crusher Faith students work alongside the Young Ambassadors to share the juice with the crowds The sweet Shiraz juice leaving a special finish to an event that showcases the distinctive characters of the Barossa

OPEN CRICKETAshley Clarke Coach

MATCH REPORT ndash ROUND 1The Open Cricket team competed in Round 1 the 2019 Knockout Sport Cricket Competition on Tuesday 12th FebruaryThe game was against Nuriootpa High School and was played on Faithrsquos Eastern OvalBoth teams were fairly evenly matched which made for a good contest in what turned out to be a rather wet and cool dayFaith went into the field first and after Nuriootpa started to compile some runs left arm bowler Craig Dowse took 2 vital wickets to have the visitors 293 at drinks After drinks Ben Roennfeldt bowled a very tight spell in the process claiming 4 wickets He was well supported by Jayden Birchard who stepped up to bowl his full 7 overs and claim 3 wicketsNuriootpa were bowled out for 158 in the 35th over

The run chase did not begin well with both openers dismissed within the first 2 overs However Isaac Werner and Caleb Schwartz came together steadied the innings with some very patient batting Caleb going on to make 31 After Isaac was dismissed Daniel Bussenschutt did his best to lift the scoring rate hitting 2 monster sixes on his way to 25 Unfortunately wickets continued to fall leaving the final two batsmen with a lot to do Ethan Pfitzner and Archie Hadden formed a good partnership and gave the team a glimmer of hope with a flurry of boundaries in the final overs However it was a big ask and the final wicket fell in the 32 over with Faith still 38 runs short Faith 120 defeated by Nuriootpa High School 158Caleb Schwartz 31Daniel Bussenschutt 25Ben Roennfeldt 418Jayden Birchard 322Craig Dowse 217Dylan Birchard 119Well done to all students who played and also to those that trialled

OPEN CRICKETAshley Clarke Coach

MATCH REPORT ndash ROUND 1The Open Cricket team competed in Round 1 the 2019 Knockout Sport Cricket Competition on Tuesday 12th FebruaryThe game was against Nuriootpa High School and was played on Faithrsquos Eastern OvalBoth teams were fairly evenly matched which made for a good contest in what turned out to be a rather wet and cool dayFaith went into the field first and after Nuriootpa started to compile some runs left arm bowler Craig Dowse took 2 vital wickets to have the visitors 293 at drinks After drinks Ben Roennfeldt bowled a very tight spell in the process claiming 4 wickets He was well supported by Jayden Birchard who stepped up to bowl his full 7 overs and claim 3 wicketsNuriootpa were bowled out for 158 in the 35th over

The run chase did not begin well with both openers dismissed within the first 2 overs However Isaac Werner and Caleb Schwartz came together steadied the innings with some very patient batting Caleb going on to make 31 After Isaac was dismissed Daniel Bussenschutt did his best to lift the scoring rate hitting 2 monster sixes on his way to 25 Unfortunately wickets continued to fall leaving the final two batsmen with a lot to do Ethan Pfitzner and Archie Hadden formed a good partnership and gave the team a glimmer of hope with a flurry of boundaries in the final overs However it was a big ask and the final wicket fell in the 32 over with Faith still 38 runs short Faith 120 defeated by Nuriootpa High School 158Caleb Schwartz 31Daniel Bussenschutt 25Ben Roennfeldt 418Jayden Birchard 322Craig Dowse 217Dylan Birchard 119Well done to all students who played and also to those that trialled

MATCH REPORT ndash ROUND 1The Open Cricket team competed in Round 1 the 2019 Knockout Sport Cricket Competition on Tuesday 12th FebruaryThe game was against Nuriootpa High School and was played on Faithrsquos Eastern OvalBoth teams were fairly evenly matched which made for a good contest in what turned out to be a rather wet and cool dayFaith went into the field first and after Nuriootpa started to compile some runs left arm bowler Craig Dowse took 2 vital wickets to have the visitors 293 at drinks After drinks Ben Roennfeldt bowled a very tight spell in the process claiming 4 wickets He was well supported by Jayden Birchard who stepped up to bowl his full 7 overs and claim 3 wicketsNuriootpa were bowled out for 158 in the 35th over

The run chase did not begin well with both openers dismissed within the first 2 overs However Isaac Werner and Caleb Schwartz came together steadied the innings with some very patient batting Caleb going on to make 31 After Isaac was dismissed Daniel Bussenschutt did his best to lift the scoring rate hitting 2 monster sixes on his way to 25 Unfortunately wickets continued to fall leaving the final two batsmen with a lot to do Ethan Pfitzner and Archie Hadden formed a good partnership and gave the team a glimmer of hope with a flurry of boundaries in the final overs However it was a big ask and the final wicket fell in the 32 over with Faith still 38 runs short Faith 120 defeated by Nuriootpa High School 158Caleb Schwartz 31Daniel Bussenschutt 25Ben Roennfeldt 418Jayden Birchard 322Craig Dowse 217Dylan Birchard 119Well done to all students who played and also to those that trialled

ldquoOur visit and lunch at Parliament House was filled with many highlights As we entered the lsquoStrangers Dining Roomrsquo we were seated and joined by member for Parliament the Hon Stephan Knoll The elaborate menu made choosing an entreacutee and main course a very challenging task After lunch a quick trip to the viewing gallery was taken as we watched and listened to the Leader of the Opposition Peter Malinauskas make a speech

My Highlight for the trip was certainly our lunchtime conversations with the Hon Stephan Knoll as we discussed many relevant and interesting topics My steak for main course was also a highlight Benjamin Roennfeldt

MATCH REPORT ndash ROUND 1The Open Cricket team competed in Round 1 the 2019 Knockout Sport Cricket Competition on Tuesday 12th FebruaryThe game was against Nuriootpa High School and was played on Faithrsquos Eastern OvalBoth teams were fairly evenly matched which made for a good contest in what turned out to be a rather wet and cool dayFaith went into the field first and after Nuriootpa started to compile some runs left arm bowler Craig Dowse took 2 vital wickets to have the visitors 293 at drinks After drinks Ben Roennfeldt bowled a very tight spell in the process claiming 4 wickets He was well supported by Jayden Birchard who stepped up to bowl his full 7 overs and claim 3 wicketsNuriootpa were bowled out for 158 in the 35th over

The run chase did not begin well with both openers dismissed within the first 2 overs However Isaac Werner and Caleb Schwartz came together steadied the innings with some very patient batting Caleb going on to make 31 After Isaac was dismissed Daniel Bussenschutt did his best to lift the scoring rate hitting 2 monster sixes on his way to 25 Unfortunately wickets continued to fall leaving the final two batsmen with a lot to do Ethan Pfitzner and Archie Hadden formed a good partnership and gave the team a glimmer of hope with a flurry of boundaries in the final overs However it was a big ask and the final wicket fell in the 32 over with Faith still 38 runs short Faith 120 defeated by Nuriootpa High School 158Caleb Schwartz 31Daniel Bussenschutt 25Ben Roennfeldt 418Jayden Birchard 322Craig Dowse 217Dylan Birchard 119Well done to all students who played and also to those that trialled

Held on the second Sunday of February the morning is filled with colour and vibrancy The local wine fraternity Barons of Barossa arrive cloaked in robes of red and yellow Faith students arrive dressed in bright colours and flowered head pieces from yester-year The historic creaky wagon carries the dark sun ripened berries freshly harvested from a local Shiraz vineyard The community awaits and watches as the procession moves from the tree lined main street of Tanunda to the Tabor Lutheran church

DECLARATION OF VINTAGE While it may be easy to get caught up in the colour and elaborate ceremony of the day at the heart of this special event is a blessing Eight Faith students bring three baskets of vine ripened fruit to the altar of the church to be blessed As the local Pastor blesses the grapes the congregation of Barons community young and old thank God for the fruits of this land

ldquoOur pioneers came to this blessed land and live here And God you blessed them and their land They planted grain and vines And you God gave the harvest The land produced quality grapes for our famous wines We thank you God for this and for all the good things you give usrdquo

After the Blessing of the Grapes Ceremony Faith students guide the grapes down the main street of Tanunda to await the lsquofirst crushrsquo Here the community welcomes and celebrates the 2019 Winemaker of the Year and the 2019 Vigneron of the Year The vintage is forecast by the Barons ndash another quality year is promised by the wine fraternity who collectively share an unparalleled knowledge and wisdom of this region

Members of the community are invited to taste the first drops of vintage for themselves As the Winemaker and Vigneron of the year carefully place the blessed fruit through a vintage crusher Faith students work alongside the Young Ambassadors to share the juice with the crowds The sweet Shiraz juice leaving a special finish to an event that showcases the distinctive characters of the Barossa

MATCH REPORT ndash ROUND 1The Open Cricket team competed in Round 1 the 2019 Knockout Sport Cricket Competition on Tuesday 12th FebruaryThe game was against Nuriootpa High School and was played on Faithrsquos Eastern OvalBoth teams were fairly evenly matched which made for a good contest in what turned out to be a rather wet and cool dayFaith went into the field first and after Nuriootpa started to compile some runs left arm bowler Craig Dowse took 2 vital wickets to have the visitors 293 at drinks After drinks Ben Roennfeldt bowled a very tight spell in the process claiming 4 wickets He was well supported by Jayden Birchard who stepped up to bowl his full 7 overs and claim 3 wicketsNuriootpa were bowled out for 158 in the 35th over

The run chase did not begin well with both openers dismissed within the first 2 overs However Isaac Werner and Caleb Schwartz came together steadied the innings with some very patient batting Caleb going on to make 31 After Isaac was dismissed Daniel Bussenschutt did his best to lift the scoring rate hitting 2 monster sixes on his way to 25 Unfortunately wickets continued to fall leaving the final two batsmen with a lot to do Ethan Pfitzner and Archie Hadden formed a good partnership and gave the team a glimmer of hope with a flurry of boundaries in the final overs However it was a big ask and the final wicket fell in the 32 over with Faith still 38 runs short Faith 120 defeated by Nuriootpa High School 158Caleb Schwartz 31Daniel Bussenschutt 25Ben Roennfeldt 418Jayden Birchard 322Craig Dowse 217Dylan Birchard 119Well done to all students who played and also to those that trialled

The run chase did not begin well with both openers dismissed within the first 2 overs However Isaac Werner and Caleb Schwartz came together steadied the innings with some very patient batting Caleb going on to make 31 After Isaac was dismissed Daniel Bussenschutt did his best to lift the scoring rate hitting 2 monster sixes on his way to 25 Unfortunately wickets continued to fall leaving the final two batsmen with a lot to do Ethan Pfitzner and Archie Hadden formed a good partnership and gave the team a glimmer of hope with a flurry of boundaries in the final overs However it was a big ask and the final wicket fell in the 32 over with Faith still 38 runs short Faith 120 defeated by Nuriootpa High School 158Caleb Schwartz 31Daniel Bussenschutt 25Ben Roennfeldt 418Jayden Birchard 322Craig Dowse 217Dylan Birchard 119Well done to all students who played and also to those that trialled
