25.01.2022 Thank you NCC families for your prayers, support and encouraging messages throughout this very different year. #lifeatNCC

25.01.2022 We loved joining together for our first Family Worship via Zoom I pray for a better understanding of 2020. Lets recognise, God hasnt lost His glasses at all. He hasnt left us alone. Hes not unaware and aloof of our earthly trials and tribulations. He is in fact offering, as He always does, a chance for us afresh to receive a new set of glasses to view the world through. Wont you take a look today through His lenses? Read more from Mr Martin Kutschkers message... on our website: https://nunawading.vic.edu.au/blog/2020/08/27/gods-glasses/ #2020vision #lifeatNCC

25.01.2022 Our bus drivers, Ray and Kay, recently made some surprise deliveries to our staff. These beautiful flowers and encouraging notes were to thank them for their hard work in helping our students 'bloom', and to encourage them in the continued growth of their own relationships with God. #lifeatNCC

24.01.2022 Primary Chapels include interviews with our teachers at home this term Mrs McNamara showed students her lounge chair with a view of nature where she loves to spend time with God, reading and highlighting Bible verses. Students heard a story of when Mrs McNamara saw God at work answering her prayers. ... Mrs McNamara shared about her Year 10 teacher who studied the Gospel of John with her class, and had a significant impact on her journey to God. #teachersofNCC #lifeatNCC See more

19.01.2022 We are so proud of the effort and dedication of our Year 7 and Year 10 teams in creating these books and fundraising for The Kids' Cancer Project! Such an exciting opportunity to be involved in #writeabookinaday! #lifeatNCC

19.01.2022 Our Year 5 and 6 classes have been studying the story of Esther in the Bible, learning how God saved His people. They learnt about Purim, the Jewish celebration of Gods rescue and made the traditional hamantaschen cookies! A part of the celebration involves giving to others - so our students decided to share with a class next door! #lifeatNCC

19.01.2022 Music classes this term have seen our lower Primary students explore the musical culture of the Torres Strait Islands. They learnt a sit-down dance called Taba Naba in the Meriam Mir language, and played along on the xylophones. Our upper Primary students have been exploring basic keyboard and piano techniques. They are working on an ensemble piece that they will perform together later this term. #lifeatNCC

18.01.2022 Seeds, succulents, microgreens and worm farms! While exploring how plants grow, our ELC children have been caring for their outdoor environment. #earlylearning #lifeatNCC

18.01.2022 'Write a Book in a Day'... and over video call. This year's challenge had an added level of difficulty, but our two teams collaborated to each create a book within 12 hours using parameters provided to them on the day. The stories, entitled 'Mazebourne' and 'Train of Strange,' were complete with vivid illustrations and thrilling storylines. These books will be shared with children undergoing treatment in hospitals around Australia. Our teams also raised over $1000 for @th...ekidscancerproject to support cancer research. #writeabookinaday2020 #lifeatNCC See more

17.01.2022 Our Year 8 students finished off their history unit with a Medieval Banquet! After snacking on some medieval themed treats, they participated in an online Kahoot quiz on their medieval tablets (laptops) and then sang a few historical tunes! #lifeatNCC

17.01.2022 Our spiritual theme this year is 20/20 Vision: Seeing with God’s Eyes. C.S. Lewis, in his book Prince Caspian, wrote about the children daring to follow Aslan into the unknown. Lucy was the bravest, because She fixed her eyes on Aslan and the rest had their eyes on Lucy. We have been encouraging our students to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus and on seeing through His eyes. In Art, our students created vision boards, depicting How God Sees Me. As ...these are displayed in homes, we hope they are a reminder to our students and families that we are loved and fully known by God. #2020vision #lifeatNCC See more

16.01.2022 Our Year 1 students are authors of their own 'Mr Men' and 'Little Miss' books! After developing creative ideas, they wrote their stories and illustrated their pages.

16.01.2022 Introducing Professor Pop and Professor Fizz! These crazy scientists shared their knowledge and exciting experiments with our Year 2/3 students last term, both during online learning and once back at school!

14.01.2022 Even in the Winter. I am your God and you are mine. I make a way, when there is no way. I am the God of solutions.... I am the God who restores. I care about the details in your life, The intricate, delicate, sensitive details. I have a way to show you how to respond to these intricate details. I bring forth love, where it looks like there is none. Know this, where you see even death, I see a momentary rest. The winter tree looks lifeless And yet it joyfully brings forth new life, Even before winter ends. This, I will do for you, I am the God who brings restoration, Before a season has ended. I will remind you of my specific and detailed love for you. Look for it and I will show you over and over again, For eternity. -Mrs Kate Pincheira (Photo taken on campus) #lifeatNCC See more

14.01.2022 If ever there was one spiritual song that sums up this year, it is ‘The Blessing’ by Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe. This song is based on Numbers 6:24-26 which states: The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you... and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Throughout this year, we have seen how God has blessed our school. Our numbers have increased despite the economic downturn in the economy. Our students have continued to learn despite the challenges of online learning. Our teachers and staff have found great strength in trusting God to see us through the year. As an NCC community, our ELC, Primary and Secondary staff and students have come together to sing this blessing for our community. This collaboration during COVID has been a challenge, but reminds us of what we can achieve when we come together as a community. May the words of this song wash over you as you join us in reflecting on how God has blessed us. - Ms Meggan James, Nunawading Christian College Principal #lifeatNCC #christianschool #blessed

In 7 days they are covering the 224km from NCC to Tullamarine Airport, then from Phnom Penh Airport to Light of Hope. Yesterday they met their financial goal, and are now ai...ming higher!

13.01.2022 Our Primary students recently heard from Mrs Pillai in her chapel interview from home They learnt that Mrs Pillai has travelled to 18 different countries and that she collects a scarf from each place she visits Cooper keeps her company while teaching online and even joined the zoom call in between naps #dogsofNCC... Mrs Pillai takes comfort in Jeremiah 29:11. She believes it was God's plan to bring her to teach at NCC. While here, her relationship with Jesus has only grown and her decision to be baptised was influenced by the spiritual people she met at NCC. #teachersofNCC #lifeatNCC See more

11.01.2022 We joined together via Zoom for our Primary Week of Worship last week. Mrs Julie Catton inspired us with stories on the theme of "20/20 Vision- Seeing with God's Eyes".

09.01.2022 Thank you to our Year 9 students who served their school community through a working bee on their final Challenge Day for Term 2.

08.01.2022 A chilly start on campus, before the sun came out! Listen, you heavens, and I will speak; hear, you earth, the words of my mouth. Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deuteronomy 32:1-...4 #lifeatNCC See more

07.01.2022 Bush kinder gives our ELC children the freedom to explore nature, building their confidence and helping them develop positive dispositions towards risk and challenge.

07.01.2022 Mrs Santiago was our next interviewee in Chapel. Students even got to meet her dog, Willow Mrs Santiago's spiritual hero is her Nanna, who prayed for her every day and lived a life that was clearly different because of her faith. This encouraged Mrs Santiago towards God. Matthew 5:13-16 "You are salt... and light..." is Mrs Santiago's favourite verse. It reminds her of her Nanna and of how we should be loving others and sharing God's word.... #teachersofNCC #lifeatNCC See more
