EQUESTRIAN: LIFE LESSONS │ PAGE 13

TrustOne of the greatest influencers on circus performance was a man named Charles Blondin (Jean-François Gravelet), who was born in 1824.

He is considered the man who inspired the high wire act, and announced to the world in 1859 that he intended to be the first person to cross Niagara Gorge on a tightrope.

The tightrope was around 300m long, 8cm wide and 50m above the water. His first crossing was on 30 June 1859, in fact over a 25-year period he crossed over 300 times. On the first crossing it is reported that more than 5,000 gathered to watch.

Over a short period of days and weeks, Blondin crossed the falls again and again; walking backwards, on stilts, blindfolded, doing a backflip, in chains and on a bicycle.

One piece of folklore has Blondin about to begin yet another crossing, this time pushing a wheelbarrow, when he turns to the crowd and asks a man:

“Do you trust that I can cross pushing this wheelbarrow?”

“Yes, I trust you can” said the man.

“Are you certain that you trust me?” said Blondin.

“Yes” said the man.

“Thank you” said Blondin, “please get into the wheelbarrow.”

It is one thing to indicate a belief, faith or trust in something, it can be another entirely to truly commit and put words into actions.

This year the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released a position paper on what the next part of the 21st Century held and the consequences for education and learning.

There was recognition that there are three key global challenges – environmental, economic and social – and key recommendations were provided on the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that students will need to thrive and shape their world.

CONTENTS

Leading Australian social researcher, Mark McCrindle has recognised a number of significant demographic, social and workforce movements that continue to redefine the world we are in now and will live in the future.

These include cultural diversity, the implications of an ageing population, household transformations, increased mobility, teleworking, digital integrations and disruption and multi-career expectations.

As these changes redefine our world, it’s more important than ever before for individuals to be imaginative, creative, innovative, collaborative, proactive and responsive.

A recent survey conducted in Australia supports and expands on this reflection when the skills most valued by employers were revealed – they were:

1. Problem solving

2. Teamwork

3. Communication

4. Adaptability

5. Data analysis

6. Resilience

7. Organisation

8. Technical skills

9. Creativity

10. Leadership

In recognition of the transformations in our world, The Australian Curriculum and the SACE Board have both acknowledged the ongoing importance of content knowledge, with an increasing required emphasis on social and emotional skills and capabilities.

I have every confidence and trust our students are continuing to develop and strengthen the range and depth of knowledge, skills and capabilities, and most importantly, the underpinning values they will need to move with, live in and contribute beyond the shifts and trends they will experience into the future.

It is also important our students continue to trust. Trust in their teachers. Trust in others who provide care and support. Trust in their learning. Trust in their skills and capabilities. Trust in their dreams. And trust, that with an underlying purpose and meaning, their actions can make a difference in the world.

We will always encourage and urge our students to get into the wheelbarrow.

A lot has been written regarding the essential skills and mindsets 21st Century learners need in an everchanging connected world.

Firstly, educational structures around the world have generally remained stagnant for over a century. However, at Cornerstone we have many students in accelerated courses or accessing extension activities to stretch their learning.

Our students apply 21st Century dispositions, including collaboration and creative thinking, to solve real world problems. Students are made to think about potential pathways rather than be passive learners and can choose to pursue hybrid courses that best meet their learning styles.

Teachers are constantly researching, accessing and applying the innovative use of technology to engage, assess and provide feedback to their students.

Much thought and planning goes into the design of our facilities to help provide rich learning environments for learners.

Currently we are in the final stages of building the new Senior School learning hub in Anakalypsi (Library), which will open in 2019. When completed, students will have specialised physical and human resources at their disposal, including career counselling, to help guide them through their learning and choices for the future.

In the Gonski 2.0 report, David Gonski makes the point that;

“to be successful contributors to a 21st Century society and economy, students should be encouraged to take risks with their learning”.

As a learning community we are all encouraged to take risks and learn from the outcomes.

I believe our focus on growth mindsets and shifting our emphasis from performance mode (eg: test results) to learning mode (eg: feedback on process and self-regulation) is a step in the right direction and will, over time, mean that our students become more intrinsically motivated, independent learners.

There is no way that any of us can prepare our youngsters with all the skills and knowledge for the future because we don’t know what the world will look like in five, let alone ten, years from now.

What we can do is develop key dispositions in students to help them navigate their course through life. Skills like critically analysing information for reliability and bias, collaborating, being ethically global citizens and a person of character are at the heart of our teaching and learning at Cornerstone.

Our challenge is developing authentic ways for students to demonstrate and apply these skills. We know they take time to develop and are hard to measure, but I think you would agree with me in that they are important pillars for lifelong learning.

I leave you with the 10 essential 21st Century skills mind map and challenge you to think of your own education. How many of these skills and mindsets were evident or did you develop when at school?

Tony MoffaSenior School Learning Leader

The classroom is more focused on bravery than perfection - increasing girls in tech

Resiliency and a growth mindset to keep learning - for students and teachers

Risk taker, empathetic, open minded - encompassing - virtual reality and augmented reality and gamification

Computational thinker - alogorithms, coding and robotics

Equipped with assessment tools for success - aligning curriculum, learning experiences and pedagogy

Role model innovation and facilitate the use of technology only as learning enhancer

Problem solver - I use relevant technologies to find solutions

Failure is a pathway to successful learning

Design thinker - 21st Century design processes

10 must have essential skills and mindsets 21st century learners and teachers need in today’s classroom

Tinkerer - explore, investigate, create with emerging technologies

ESSENTIAL SKILLS & MINDSETS

Summer 2018 | 2019 7

When this question was posed recently, my initial response included ideas like working together, engaging in discussion and carefully listening to the ideas of others.I was then challenged to think at a deeper level by asking, what is the difference between collaboration and cooperation? Which do you value more and why?

My reflection led me to describe collaboration as something that had purpose and led to changes or improvements, whereas cooperation was about sharing ideas or getting along.

Have you experienced cooperation where people have exchanged their ideas or stories politely without any commitment to change? It may have felt like a shared experience but not one that called you to action.

In contrast, have you experienced authentic collaboration, underpinned by shared purpose, trust and ownership of outcomes, leading to improvements that make a difference?

Collaboration can generate a ‘buzz’ that we sometimes describe as ‘synergy.’ This comes from the collective achievement or experience of a group that is much greater than what could be accomplished by the same people working individually.

Positive relationships are the heartbeat of effective collaboration and underpin our approach at Cornerstone.

This is not only evident in our care and focus on wellbeing, it is the very essence of how God works through us as described by St Paul in Philippians 4:13.

I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.

I value authentic collaboration as I believe it is at the heart of a thriving community where we are constantly striving to improve learning outcomes for students.

Shane Schoff Deputy Principal

WHAT DOES COLLABORATION LOOK LIKE?

YOUNG MINDSAs a pastor and a teacher in a secondary college for over five years now, I have learnt some things about the minds of young people, and about some of the threads of thinking that are incredibly consistent amongst them.

When it comes to talking about God, and particularly about a Christian idea of a God, there is less consistency.

While some students are personally quite passionate about their faith and their relationship with God, there are also many who are most happy to tell me how the idea of God is a human delusion.

Of course, in between these two extremes are some who hold a view that falls in line with a growing apathy toward mainstream spirituality in Australian society.

Having said that, the more consistent thinking amongst students appears when asked about things related to human morality. This becomes more apparent in Senior School, particularly in teaching units such as Social Justice through our Christian Living program.

While students are often ready to dismiss religious truths, they are quick to defend the power of the values, ethics and morals that are drawn from the same source.

It is fascinating to watch teenagers ponder this disturbing reality and to be invited into a philosophical way of understanding themselves, who they are as moral beings, and how this reality means they have to wrestle with the idea that a small piece of God is already part of their identity.

As long as Cornerstone remains founded on the platform of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it will remain grounded in the spiritual truth of the goodness of God, one that has sown the seeds of humility, compassion, forgiveness and love into the fabric of our beings, and continues to impress those into the consciences of young people trying to find their way into life.

Year 8 Heritage DayDuring Term 3 the Year 8s celebrated Heritage Day with Grandparents and Special Guests.

The room was abuzz with students interviewing their guests on family history.

We learnt about everything from survivors of the holocaust to football legends.

Students shared historic photos, family keepsakes and lost relics.

To follow on with their learning, students wrote a piece of historical fiction based on the day.

This was a great opportunity to integrate the Year 8 Core work with fact finding, research and interview skills.

LEARNING THROUGH THE GENERATIONS GRANDPARENTS DAY

Year 7 Grandparents & Special Friends' DayThere were lots of smiling faces and warm embraces as the Year 7s welcomed over 280 Grandparents & Special Friends to the College in Semester 2 for a special assembly, high tea and a grand tour of our stunning campus.

Students love sharing their educational journey with their Grandparents & Special Friends, especially as they have made the transition from primary school to middle school.

Music is the shorthand of emotion Leo Tolstoy

Over the past Semester the Music Faculty has been a hive of activity as students prepared for everything from the Cabaret to Carols in the Park.

The music program at Cornerstone is rich and diverse, and the benefits are far greater than just the thrill of performance, or learning to master a song or an instrumental piece.

The psychological effect of music can be more powerful and wide ranging than most people appreciate.

Learning music and listening to music can improve cognitive performance, help to reduce stress and improve memory.

As the end of year approached, students performed at a number of events, bringing joy both within the College and in the community.

Performances included:

• Hey Hey it’s Cabaret

• Arts Alive

• The Year 7 Orientation Day

• Food & Fun Fest Twilight Market

• Mt Barker Carols in the Park

• Echunga Carols

The mentorship of primary school music students has continued this year too, with performances at St Mark's Primary School, Mount Barker and St Michael's Primary School, Hahndorf.

This will be strengthened with Anthony Janus directing the St Mark's Primary School Band in 2019. We hope that this will provide more opportunities for Cornerstone ensembles to work with and support local primary school children.

Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of the Cabaret night was welcoming back Cornerstone College Old Scholars, The Raymond Sisters, Rebecca (2001), Lauren (2003) and Olivia (2008).

We thank our sponsors Duttons Adelaide Hills, Southern Cross Cleaning and Lighthouse Books for their generous support of the Co-Curricular Music Program.

On Friday, 28 September our annual Summit to School House event was held.

Approximately 800 students and staff walked, ran or cycled from the summit of Mount Barker back to the College.

Although the forecast was for rain we were blessed with blue skies for most of the morning.

The walkers admired an amazing view as they travelled down the summit onto Williams Road and the cyclists and runners took on the challenge of some very big hills on Springs Road.

Congratulations to Aroona who won the event and took out the ‘Smelly Sandshoe Trophy’ for the second year in a row.

Well done to all who participated and got into the House spirit. We would particularly like to thank the Mount Barker Police Department and the Mount Barker District Council for their fantastic support for the day.

There was no place like Cornerstone on Friday, 17 August during Aroona Focus Day. Home Groups followed the rainbow brick road into fundraising action.

The funds raised from the event, benefitted Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS), who are working to build a road in the Cambodian village of Snuol.

Aroona House themed their Focus Day around the magic and wonder of the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz.

During lunch, students indulged in the delights of Rainbow Rocky Road and Fairy Bread.

They also enjoyed an Oz-themed photo booth and played ‘Pin the Heart on the Tin Man’.

Throughout the week, students and staff purchased coloured bricks in a bid to build our Rainbow Brick Road. We managed to raise approximately $2,100.

A big thank you to everyone who participated in organising the Focus Week.

MOORAKThis year Moorak ran a short film festival called Moorak Movie Madness during their Focus Week.

Students were encouraged to re-create their favourite movie scene with their Home Group and these were premiered at lunchtime on Friday.

Participation was excellent and we saw several versions of Titanic and The Lion King as well as an interesting version of Cast Away (thanks Mr Day).

On Friday we sold pop corn and strawberries with ice cream which, despite the winter weather, were very popular.

Through our fundraising efforts we raised approximately $1,000 for ALWS.

Thank you to all who participated, especially the budding actors, actresses, directors and editors who submitted movies.

EQUESTRIAN: LIFE LESSONSAt Cornerstone we have a dedicated Equestrian team with students from Year 7 through to Year 12.

Some students have been riding since they were very young and some have only recently found the passion, but all are equally welcomed and encouraged.

Being an equestrian is a full time job – the horses or ponies need feeding (twice a day), rugging and unrugging, grooming, feet attended to, vet checks and to be exercised a lot.

Even when you are sick or tired or have exams – your horse still needs these things done for them – it is relentless but oh so worth it.

The role that parents play in our Equestrian team can not be underestimated; they are required for transport, help with many of the daily tasks and of course they often shoulder the financial burden.

Our horses and ponies are more than an animal that lives in the paddock. Any equestrian family will tell you that the place these animals take in your heart is huge – the lessons they teach you are life long. It is not us teaching the animal but the animal that really teaches us.

Many of these skills and lessons are not just related to equestrian but are transferable skills to school and the work force.

Being an equestrian teaches you persistence. Things don’t always go to plan, the hours of training and many falls that all equestrians experience require that you keep going.

As Gillian Rolton said, you ‘always end a lesson on a positive’.

Communication – learning to communicate with your horse is essential as horses are like people with their own personalities and require individual attention.

Dedication – feeding in the cold and dark, even when you aren’t feeling your best, or waking very early before a show to wash, groom and plait your horse's tail and mane.

Reflection – to constructively review your riding performance and identify where you can improve. It is easy to blame your horse if things aren't going well, but more often that not it is a human issue.

Amber Howie and Mitchell Dollard are two of our Year 12 team members that we farewell this year after much time and dedication to the team. I spoke with them about the lessons they have learnt and how they have managed Year 12 and equestrian commitment.

Key for Amber was planning and organisation. “I plan 5 weeks ahead – use my calendar to list all of my equestrian events, my school assignment due dates, and shifts for work.” Mitchell agreed that time management is crucial and so is communication with your teachers, “advise them ahead of time if you have events that require travel and ensure you stay ahead of your work rather than try to catch up after".

PT&F REPORT2018 has been a wonderful year for the PT&F. We commenced the year with the donation of approximately $41,300 towards new shelving for the Anakalypsi (Library) redevelopment and affirmed our commitment to contribute a further $20,000 for the purchase of new furniture this year.

We are tremendously grateful to you, our community, for your support and are pleased to confirm that not only have we met this fundraising target, but exceeded it.

Many parents now sign up to assist the PT&F at our events and in the Second Hand Uniform Shop. Through the generosity of your time, we have been able to increase the opening hours of the Second Hand Uniform Shop.

This has been especially important during the first and last week of each term, and during seasonal uniform changes. Additional hours are advertised on Facebook, Instagram and Charis once confirmed. We extend a heartfelt thank you to the many volunteers who assist us regularly.

We also revisited the iconic Food & Fun Fest to place greater emphasis on fun for the students, and to introduce a twilight market for the adults.

Thank you to the Year 8 Core teachers, who have included the Food & Fun Fest as an outlet for young business entrepreneurs, and thank you to the many parents who generously staffed stands and assisted us in the set-up and bump down of the event.

We are also grateful to the many businesses who donated items for the silent auction, and to our sponsors who made it possible to keep the running costs down.

As a final service to the community, we introduced a Christmas Seafood Offer to the Adelaide Hills, and once again have been overwhelmed by the response. We truly hope families enjoyed their export quality Spencer Gulf Prawns and Tassal Salmon over Christmas.

As we prepare for next year and 2020, where we celebrate our 30th Anniversary as a College, we will continue to

refocus the PT&F with your help and guidance. We meet once a month and hope that our small committee of dedicated Parents, Teachers and Friends will expand to include at least two year level parent representatives from Years 7-12 as well as some Old Scholars to the fold.

Please contact us via email to ptf@cornerstone.sa.edu.au to let us know if you are able to support us.

2018 has been a great year. Let’s make 2019 an even better one!

CORNERSTONE GOLF CLASSICThe 11th Annual Cornerstone Golf Classic was held in perfect conditions on Friday, 12 October at the Aston Hills Golf Club. Approximately 100 guests joined us for a sit down lunch and intimate audience with guest presenter Les Burdett, former curator of the Adelaide Oval and international sporting consultant.

Les captivated the audience with his tales of collapsed lighting towers, international cricketing scandals, managing complex political and ethical issues and even shared his deeply personal experience with prostate cancer.

Following lunch, guests filled the green for the ambrose competition which included some serious and not so serious challenges!

Thank you to Duttons Adelaide Hills, Gold partners in all Cornerstone College events and to the Golf Day Bronze sponsors, Southern Cross Cleaning, Echunga Earthmovers, RTG and Lanser.

A grand day at schoolBy Nick Grimm

The relationship between grandparents and their grandkids was recently celebrated by a local school.

Around 450 grandparents spent a morning with their grandchildren at St Francis de Sales College as part of the school’s bi-annual Grandfriends Day celebrations on October 24.

The day began with a liturgy before the students performed a

range of activities, including arts and crafts and a morning tea.

The day was an opportunity to “celebrate the special relationship” between grandchildren and their grandparents, the school’s Reception-Year 3 community leader, Fran Nicholls said.

She said students were able to show thanks to the grandparents and introduce them to their world.

Flynn O’Rourke, a Reception student, said he enjoyed the day.

“Having my grandparents here has been a lot of fun,” he said.

Pupils take to thestreets for safetyStudents from a Hills town proud of its

black and yellow colors were recently decked out in red to raise awareness about child safety.

Lobethal Lutheran School held a Day for Daniel fundraiser on October 26 where staff and students were seen walking the Main Street to interact with the public.

Business owners hung red balloons on their storefronts and cheered the school on as the red sea of students marched past.

Daniel Morcombe, 13, was abducted and murdered in December 2003 while waiting to catch a bus on the Sunshine Coast.

The Day for Daniel initiative was established in 2005 by his parents, Bruce and Denise Morcombe, as a “lasting legacy” to their son.

A grand day at schoolBy Nick Grimm

The relationship between

grandparents and their

grandkids was recently

celebrated by a local school.

Around 450 grandparents spent a

morning with their grandchildren

at St Francis de Sales College

as part of the school’s bi-annual

Grandfriends Day celebrations on

October 24. The day began with a liturgy

before the students performed a

range of activities, including arts

and crafts and a morning tea.

The day was an opportunity to

“celebrate the special relationship”

between grandchildren and

their grandparents, the school’s

Reception-Year 3 community

leader, Fran Nicholls said.She said students were able to

show thanks to the grandparents

and introduce them to their world.

Flynn O’Rourke, a Reception

student, said he enjoyed the day.

“Having my grandparents here

has been a lot of fun,” he said.

black and yellow colors were recently

decked out in red to raise awareness about

child safety. Lobethal Lutheran School held a Day for

Daniel fundraiser on October 26 where staff

and students were seen walking the Main

Street to interact with the public.

Business owners hung red balloons on their

storefronts and cheered the school on as the red

sea of students marched past.

Daniel Morcombe, 13, was abducted and

murdered in December 2003 while waiting to

St Mark’s has enjoyed a number of highlights during Semester 2.We celebrated the Book Week theme ‘Find Your Treasure’ with a colourful dress up parade of pirates and favourite book characters.

Our Year 2 students enjoyed a camping experience at El Shaddai, Wellington. The focus for this camp was team work and included rock climbing, a treasure hunt and orienteering. Our Year 6 students once again tried their hand at sailing, water skiing and knee boarding at the Murraylands Aquatic Centre.

Our Foundation students certainly did not miss out on a camping experience and enjoyed a sleepover on our school grounds. Our Year 1 students also had a tenting experience on site as well as a visit to Monarto Zoo!

Another memorable occasion was our colourful Senior School concert Dragon Days – A Real Scorcher of a Musical! which highlighted the many talents of our student body. This was certainly a joyous occasion!

Our students participated in cross country, a German science excursion and swimming lessons as well as many other excursions and incursions.

In our final weeks of 2018 our Year 6 students were farewelled with a Graduation Celebration. This was an opportunity to reminisce and give thanks for the many

blessings they have brought to our community.

2018 also saw the opening of our nature play space. A new sand, fire and mud pit, climbing rocks, wet and dry river rock bed are some of the features of this exciting learning and play space.

2019 will see other additions including an age old ruin and an outside kitchen facility.

We give thanks to God for the many blessings St Mark’s has enjoyed in 2018!

SUPPORTING MOTHERS IN THEIR RETURN TO WORKOver the past two years Cornerstone has experienced a population growth with more than 16 babies born to staff between 2016 and 2018.With approximately 130 staff on the payroll, and more than half of them female, the College introduced a dedicated room in the newly renovated Anakalypsi (Library) as a number of staff returned from maternity leave.

The room features a comfy chair, mood lighting, heating, relaxing music, a fridge/ freezer and even a pin board to display images of children.

Research suggests that transitioning from maternity leave back to work can be tricky for many women.

Some mothers feel guilty, others struggle with work schedules and navigating childcare. Although it can be stressful, it is a precious time for the whole family, and it should be celebrated.

We believe in the importance of family, and providing a clean and private place to express milk is not only the right thing to do for mothers and their children, it demonstrates our commitment to family values within a modern workplace.

Mothers or special friends of students who are visiting the College are welcome to use this discrete facility during school hours. Please ask to be directed to Anakalypsi (Library) on arrival.

Lutheran Education Adelaide HillsProviding a helping hand to the Cambodian peopleEvery two years Lutheran schools across the Adelaide Hills including Cornerstone, St Mark’s Lutheran, St Michael’s Hahndorf, and Lobethal Lutheran join together to raise money for projects to help communities in Cambodia led by Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS).

In previous years the funds raised by Lutheran schools in the Adelaide Hills (LEAH) have been earmarked for projects including the building of a school, a health care centre and other smaller but equally important village projects.

This year we were excited to support the Snuol village in the Pichenda commune in the Battamban province where ALWS together with the Cambodian people have built a road.

In 2018 LEAH schools have raised in excess of $20,000 funds through talent shows, casual days, the sale of chocolate frogs and chocolate roses as well as bake the best cake contests, special lunch days and finally a walkathon!

The road constructed in the Buttamban province will now allow Cambodian children to travel safely to school each day – even during the wet season. Being able to access school easily and safely has a direct influence on student retention rates.

Medical care will also be far more accessible reducing overall mortality. Farmers being able to get to local markets quickly means the quality of fresh produce will be significantly better and so can be retailed at a higher price. This one road will have a positive flow on effect on the overall standard of living to the people in this district.

ALWS working in partnership with the Cambodian people is also creating sustainable change. An opportunity for people of the district to be directly involved in the planning and building of this road has provided them with skills that will serve them well in the future building of much needed infrastructure in the local area.

LEAH with the standing commitment of ALWS has made a significant difference to the lives of Cambodian people.

CORNERSTONECHRONICLEA PASSION FOR HUMAN RIGHTSAnna Bulman (2005)What qualifications have you gained post Cornerstone?I am a human rights lawyer whose work focuses on global food systems through the lens of trade, investment and human rights.

After finishing Year 12 at Cornerstone, I studied arts, languages and law at the University of Adelaide.

I wove international experiences into my study, as I had at Cornerstone with the German Exchange Program, and spent a semester studying abroad in Spain, and three months working in constitutional rights litigation in South Africa.

At the time I was admitted as a lawyer, I was working as an associate to the Honourable Justice Tom Gray at the Supreme Court of South Australia. Following my associateship, my partner Ben Stewart and I relocated to New York City where I undertook a Master of Laws degree at Columbia University.

This led to work in international investment law and a fellowship to undertake a human rights project of my own design after the degree. I then led a project in South Africa focused on the right to food at the same organisation I had interned at some years prior.

Following this experience, and much travel around Africa, Ben and I spent some time in Geneva where I worked in international trade at the World Trade Organization.

What are you doing now?At some point in the global meandering, I took on a short-term consulting position with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.

At the end of 2017, I was offered a full-time advisory position with the Special Rapporteur and so Ben and I returned to New York for this role.

As an advisor, I have been supporting the Special Rapporteur – Professor Philip Alston, a distinguished human rights scholar – in all aspects of the mandate, including official country visits to investigate how a government is dealing with poverty, writing thematic reports to the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council, and sending communications to governments when concerning information is brought to his attention by civil society.

For example, in December 2017, we conducted an official visit in the United States of America, where the Special Rapporteur’s finding that the "American Dream is rapidly becoming American Illusion" caused such a stir that, after withdrawing from the Human Rights Council, Ambassador Nikki Haley rebuked the UN for examining poverty in the US.

After an amazing year back in the Big Apple, Ben and I decided that it was time to return home to Adelaide. I will continue working for the Special Rapporteur remotely on a research project concerning economic and social rights.

What are your passions away from work?Beyond geeking out on law, I love animals, sport, walking and training the dogs, cooking and eating vegan food, drinking wine, hanging out with family and friends, yoga, camping, reading and trying new things.

What is your greatest strength and your greatest weakness?My capacity to love is my greatest strength. My weakness would be a tendency towards perfectionism which stretches me too thin.

What is your most rewarding service work?When I realised I could use law as an instrument to disrupt power imbalances and advocate for the vulnerable and marginalised, I knew my career path was set. So in terms of my day job, that will always be the goal.

Beyond work, I love doing what I can to help animals and the environment. In New York, Ben and I fostered rescue puppies. That was incredibly rewarding and definitely something we will do again in the future, once our new little rescue woofer has settled in. #adoptdontshop!

What is your favourite Cornerstone College moment?I loved going to school at Cornerstone College. I had the most amazing year level. Everyone was so friendly and supportive and cohesive.

It is such a joy catching up with people from my year and sharing snippets of their lives on social media. Particular highlights for me were always the swimming and athletics carnivals, the Ekiden Relay, hosting the Music Cabaret with Jessica Radloff (Bailey 2005) and getting the giggles part way through our senior choir performance, the German exchange, and just all the wonderful laughs, conversations and pranks with friends in the yard or classroom.

Who is the teacher inspired you the most?Again, I couldn’t name one in particular. And it’s risky to name a few as the old memory will fail me yet – I apologise to those I have unintentionally omitted – but I really did receive fantastic support from a great number of teachers and support staff, including (but not limited to!): Colleen McComish, Maria Mattsson, Chris Jantke, Kristen Doherty, Rae Kempe, Jenny Sutherland, Ingrid Synwoldt, Graham Gallasch, Rob Rohde, Andrew Lines, Gail Secombe, John Proeve and Helen Charles.

Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?Having pursued the nebulous vision of 'human rights lawyer,' I have learned by now that planning beyond 6-12 months is an impossibility. Ben and I live each day as our true selves, always laughing, always loving, and open to what the world offers us.

As You Like It By William Shakespeare. Directed by Megan

Dansie. University of Adelaide Theatre Guild.

Pfitzner Court (Gate 14, off Kintore Avenue).

17-25 Nov, 2018.

As far as Shakespeare goes, As You Like It may be

relatively lacking in serious themes, but this makes it ideal

for anyone just up for a cheerful time in a pleasant

location. What makes UATG’s production special – and

what should prove especially pleasing to buffs of the Bard

- is the evident expertise and care that director Megan

Dansie and her terrific cast have brought to it.

The setting may have been updated to 1967 and the

Summer of Love, but the text and its inherent nature are

treated with general respect and delivered with great accomplishment. The open-air performance space is an ideal

one not only for a play largely set in a forest, but one that, despite dealing partly in deception/disguise, is performed

with such an appealing level of emotional exuberance.

Jean Collins, in the pivotal role of

Rosalind, provides an exceptionally

strong and magnetic centre to the

proceedings, with Christina Devetzidis

equally appealing and impressive as

Rosalind’s offsider Celia. Also standing

out in the consistently solid ensemble

are Tim Edhouse and Philip Lineton

(both in dual portrayals), while Riordan

Miller-Frost leaves a great impression

despite the relatively small role of

Silvius.

Phil Short’s live guitar compositions

(plus a song contributed by Claire

Langsford) add to the freshness and

warmth that this production emanates,

as do the groovy and colourful

costumes (co-ordinated by Jasmin

Muller). They are the final deft touches

on a very pleasing production.

Angus de Wit (2013) recently embarked on a six-month Masters’ degree at a French university where he will study the development and construction of submarines.

Being a structural engineer suits Angus as he is a systematic thinker who loves the challenge of problem solving.

Angus reported that, “Cornerstone pushed the engineering avenue pretty hard which was good because they provided the path for me. If it wasn’t for them I probably would have never pursued engineering as a career choice."

Hugo Fielke (2012) received his Advanced Diploma of the Arts (Acting) in 2015 and works in Adelaide as an actor and MC with various local companies and ensembles.

South Australian Education Department ChangesFrom January 1, 2022 all South Australian Year 7 students will be taught in high school. This means that primary schools will no longer be able to offer Year 7 unless they offer seamless education from Foundation - Year 12. This transition aligns all South Australian schools with the national curriculum taught in high schools.
