25.01.2022 Today, the 11 November marks the anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War (191418). 102 years ago, on 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With their armies retreating and close to collapse, German leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First World War. Five divisions of the Australian Corps had been at the forefront of the allied advance to victory, but victory had come at a heav...y cost. They suffered almost 48,000 casualties during 1918, including more than 12,000 dead. In the four years of the war, more than 330,000 Australians had served overseas, with more than 60,000 giving their lives. Each year, our College Captains place a wreath at the local monument on Remembrance Day and observe one minute’s silence at 11:00am, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. Thank you to David and Naomi for doing St Martins Lutheran College proud this morning at Vansittart Park. #lestweforget

22.01.2022 Today at the College, we held our annual Remembrance Day Ceremony. All students, teachers and staff came together to pay respect to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country and those who are currently serving around the world. The service featured a Catafalque party, made up of our students involved with the local Army Cadets. The College's Junior School Captains delivered the Prayer of Remembrance, while Year 7 student Christopher Mossford-MacGregor played... The Last Post. Our Air Force Cadets assisted Foundation students in raising the Australian flag before the Junior School students laid wreaths that they had made in class. It was an excellent service and well done to all that made it such a special event.

17.01.2022 Students across all year levels were able to enjoy many activities this week to recognise and celebrate NAIDOC Week 2020! Class-room activities included making and eating bush-tucker pizzas and creating ‘stained glass’ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags. A group of students from Years 6-10 viewed Nunga Screen 2020 at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre. Our Junior School students visited Landscape SA to learn about the ‘yuki’ that is on display there. A yuki is the Boandik term for ‘canoe’ and it is made from the bark of a redgum, located in Kalangadoo.

17.01.2022 This morning our Senior Class of 2020 took part in their annual group breakfast and scavenger hunt! The Year 12 cohort had a beautiful BBQ breakfast cooked for them by College staff. They then split up into groups and were sent on missions around the College. The students then continued on with their fun day throughout the city.... We wish them all the best as they the beginning of exams next week!

05.01.2022 ! Today at the College the 'Dollars 4 Collars' group held a stall to raise funds for the South East Animal Welfare League. The Year 7 students took it upon themselves to cook and create items to sell to their classmates. ... The cupcakes, cookies, brownies and home made knitted bunnies were a success as students lined up to purchase them, raising over $100 for the great cause.

05.01.2022 This morning saw the College’s Senior School come together for the 2020 Valedictory Service. With greater COVID-19 restrictions coming into effect overnight, the Service sadly had to be reduced to only students, teachers and College staff. Families were invited to watch via a live stream of the event. Along with the awards presentation, the Service featured a special College Captains Handover. Our 2020 Captains, David and Naomi Zwijnenburg presented 2021 Captains, Harrison La...nglands and Rachael Bird with their College blazers. Our Senior Choir performed beautifully, however, the treat for our Year 12’s was the traditional performance of the Blessing song by some of the College staff! Congratulations to all the award winners!

02.01.2022 Today was Grandfriends Day at the College! In the past, our special members of the community have been invited to a morning tea and in-class activities with the students. However this year, the junior school students still wanted Grandfriends to visit, so they planned a very unique Grandfriends Guard of Honour around the entrance of the College and through the carpark! Our VIP guests were able to see the beautiful signs made by the students, while in the comfort of their ...vehicles! Nearly 120 vehicles came through the Grandfriends Guard of Honour and it was enjoyed by young and old alike! We’d like to thank all our Nan’s, Pa’s and all the Grandfriends that made the effort to come out and visit this morning!
