A NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
I am sure that you have heard the comment ‘we live in uncertain times’. Perhaps you have thought or vocalised this concern yourself. In a world that is more connected than ever before, we are bombarded with information from far flung places in ways unimaginable to past generations. However, this can have the effect of making us feel powerless, as we process what is going on in our world, but lack the ability or influence to bring about change. This sense of vulnerability and inability to find our place is felt most by our young people. Adolescence, for countless generations a time of life marked by change from childhood into adulthood, is even made even more precarious for today’s adolescents as they grapple with news – true and not-quite so true – and struggle with how to deal with this information.
The writer of Ecclesiastes states that ‘there is nothing new under the sun’. I am sure he could not have envisaged today’s social media landscape when penning his words about 3,000 years ago. Nevertheless, the truth of his message does not
change, which is essentially this: that we face difficulties and wonder if there is meaning or purpose to anything – yet in God’s economy, there is enduring hope and fulfilment.
The more things change, the more we need to remember that we have a firm foundation and anchor in Christ. The message of Jesus is as relevant today as it ever was, and our college exists to help parents and the Church to infuse that message into the lives of our children. It is only when we are anchored in Him that we find in the fullest sense our purpose and meaning.
I pray that you enjoy a restful -mid-winter break. For those fortunate to be travelling to spend some time in warmer parts, may you travel safely.
Blessings!
Ken Nuridin Principal
That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
ANZAC DAY
OnAnzac Day some of our students and staff took part in services in Ballarat and Sebastopol to pay tribute and to commemorate the service and sacrifice of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. While some of our students represented the College at a service at the 93rd Anzac Commemorative Service Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
John 15:13 NIV
Middle Primary B created a vibrant wreath of Kandinskyinspired poppies as part of their Anzac Day reflections this week.
BILLBOARD ON GILLIES ST
Our new billboard ad is up on the corners of Gillies and Winter Streets, Alfredton. Check it out next time you’re going that way.
The billboard is through Gawk Outdoor, a family owned and operated business that provides billboards in Regional Victoria.
MUSICA VIVA
It was wonderful to have a music performance by guest artists from Musica Viva in Term 2 organised by Performing Arts teacher, Mrs Sarah Rodwell for Lower, Middle and Upper Primary students. The students enthusiastically participated and enjoyed this experience with live performers, learning about rhythm and instruments and the various elements of music.
The session titled, Rhythm Works showed students how to create visual images through music with lizards,
waterfalls, road trains, and carnivals and was led by the dynamic Musica Viva percussion duo. Students were introduced to a range of instruments from African djembes, marimbas, electronic loop machines, Boom whackers, and wearable instruments made from PVC pipe! Students were shown ways to create their own musical imagery in the classroom and at home.
PRIMARY CHAPEL
Our first Chapel for Term 2 saw our fabulous Middle Primary A and Mrs Stevens step up to lead the service. Mrs Kenneth and her Primary Chapel Band shone as they enthusiastically led us in worship. We all stood still and reflected on the Royal Australian Navy as we commemorated Anzac Day before a very special and totally unconventional guest speaker waltzed in spruiking fruit.
Mamma Mia - Miss O’Hara’s uncle’s, sister in law’s, nephew’s cousin came to visit from Footscray. She is a Fruit Grocer (with an impressive hairdo) and helped to introduce our new Primary Chapel Theme for Term 2: The Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5: 22,23).
A lot of fun was had; strange fruit guessing was rewarded with pieces of fruit and some very cheeky fruit left us all ROTFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing).
Middle Primary B led a Chapel during Term 2 and we all enjoyed the enthusiastic Secondary Chapel Band leading the Primary students in the songs: ‘10, 9, 8 - God is Great’ and ‘My Lighthouse.’
Missy Pickletoe then danced into some crazy music and took over with ‘The Fruit of the Spirit - SPOT THAT FRUIT’ game show. Her usual talk show - ‘Little Kids Big Hearts’ was put on hold for the moment. Contestants watched a selection of Middle Primary B students act out some scenarios. They then had to guess if the actors were about to show BERRY GOOD FRUIT or BERRY BAD FRUIT. Special thanks to all who assisted with Chapel.

STAFF RETREAT
We began Term 2 with our annual Staff Retreat, held at the RACV Goldfields Resort in Creswick. The day opened with a worship session, setting the tone for a time of reflection and renewal. Our guest speaker, Dr Rowan Lewis, Head of Pastoral Theology at the Australian College of Ministries shared key insights from the ‘Your Story Research Report: Hearing the Faith Narratives of Young Australians’. His presentation explored the findings of faith has a narrative, faith grows in a relational ecosystem, relationally grounded discipling action and effective discipling relationships offer acceptance, build belonging, promote ownership, develop understanding and are anchored in trust.
To wrap up the day, staff had the opportunity to unwind through bike riding or participate in an art therapy session. Thank you to all who helped plan the retreat and lead activities, your efforts helped make the day a great time of connection and community.
CERT II BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION
Our Certificate II in Building and Construction students have been hard at work this term, taking on hands-on projects including the construction of saw horses and a Gaga pit near the Fitness Hub. Gaga is a fast-paced, high-energy game played in an octagonal pit.
Through these projects, students have been developing practical skills such as measuring, timber cutting, and applying a range of construction techniques. The experience has helped build their confidence in using both power and hand tools, while reinforcing the importance of precision and teamwork on site.
Mu lt iple milestones at college in 2025
BALL ARAT Christian College has reached more than one milestone as it marks its 40th anniversary
This year, it has more than 400 enrolled students from prep to year 12.
"We continue to field a constant flow of enrolment enquiries, which in turn is creating a planning challenge as we seek to manage this growth," principal Ken Nuridin said online
Last month, the school held a celebration day for
current and former students, families, staff and friends to catch up, have fun, and reflect on the school's 40 years.
"It was wonderful to welcome back many past students and staff who joined our celebration day," Mr Nuridin said.
"Looking back over photographs brought back many memories and reminders of what was accomplished across four decades."
The day began with a Thanksgiving service followed by a carnival and picnic day, cake-cutting,
It was wonderful to welcome back many past students and staff who joined our celebration day. Looking back over photographs brought back many memories and reminders of what was accomplished across four decades

ANZAC BISCUITS
During Term 2 our Year 8s were busy baking Anzac biscuits in their Food Technology class. BalCC students took part in wreath-laying ceremonies at both the Ballarat and Sebastopol Anzac Day services.
CAMPUS WORKS
Over the Term 1 break our Maintenance team and contractors were hard at work completing several projects across the campus. The most significant of these was the modification of the roundabout in the Warreen Street car park, which has been reduced in size to improve access and flow for both buses and cars. Other upgrades include the installation of new air-conditioning units in various classrooms and offices, the addition of garden beds around the new Year 7 and 8 modular classrooms,
carpeting on the external stairs of the Neville Hawkins Wing, and adjustments to the Lower Secondary playing courts to improve flow. Additionally, new “slow down” safety signage has been stencilled on concrete paths throughout the campus.
A big thank you to our Maintenance team and contractors for their dedicated work over the break. Your efforts have made a noticeable difference, and the improvements are already being appreciated across campus.
UP SHOWCASES
Across Term 1 students in Upper Primary considered how God intended for His creation to thrive, while also providing characteristics and features to survive when required. Students explored animal and plant adaptations, physical characteristics and behavioural features, and studied how these are best used in both times of survival and in times of flourishing.
Investigations into their own backyards to discover features of local fauna and flora prompted conversations in families. Students were impacted by the extreme weather and environmental events that can occur around the world, and families discussed their own preparation and response to these potential disasters. Ultimately, we pondered God’s protection, goodness, and faithfulness and learned that trusting in Him, regardless of the external circumstances was the recipe for true thriving and flourishing. The Upper Primary students finished Term 1 with a showcase of their learning.
Term 1
Our Upper Primary students welcomed their families into the classroom to share and celebrate their Term 2 learning achievements at the end of term. Students shared pieces of writing (poetry and stories), their Integrated Studies Projects which included paintings, shadow puppets shows, research on the lives of convicts, interviews with older family members and other pieces of work they have completed throughout the term. It was exciting to see so many of our students engaged in sharing their learning.
Term 2
InTerm 2 our Primary SRC organised a whole College PJ Day to raise awareness of The Salvation Army’s Winter Appeal and to mark the first day of BalCC collecting donations.
In the past the College community has generously donated jackets, beanies and new socks or gloves of all sizes to help Ballarat’s homeless and those doing it tough this winter.
Donations of clean, warm, and in good condition beanies, jackets, new socks, and gloves were collected by Homeroom Teachers during the month of May.
Captain Amy Jones from The Salvation Army came to a Chapel to speak to students about the work of The Salvation Army and the Winter Appeal.
ELEV8
TheElev8 & Extend Learning program at BalCC offers extension and enhancement for gifted and talented students who are performing well above expected academic level. Students from Years 2-9 are given opportunity to be involved through a selection process that takes into consideration their academic performance level, their higher order thinking skills and their own desire to extend their learning and engage well in the program. The program is delivered in small group learning extension sessions.
Elev8 sessions in both English and Mathematics assist classroom teachers to provide extension for high achieving learners who need further stimulation and challenge in their learning. This program was started as an initiative of our current Principal, Mr Ken Nuridin and is continuing to develop under the supervision of Mrs Julie Gall, Head of Teaching & Learning and facilitator of Elev8 Primary English, along with the assistance of Mrs. Cheril Kemp (Elev8 Primary Maths), Mr Ian Manton (Elev8 Secondary English) and Mr Dennis Rodwell (Elev8 Secondary Maths).
GRIP LEADERSHIP
InTerm 2 all of our Year 6 students, along with SRC students from Middle and Upper Primary classes participated in the GRIP Primary student leadership training conference at Federation University, Mt Helen. Students had the opportunity to experience a range of effective leadership training activities during the day and find out how best to model good student leadership in schools.
SCIENCE PROJECTS
Our Year 8 and 9 Science students have been working in small groups to plan and conduct an investigation of their choice, where they explained the ‘science’ behind their experiments, tested their hypothesis, and identified variables. The students demonstrated their group experiments in class during Term 2.
CSA 40TH CONGRATULATIONS

NATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIME
DuringTerm 2 our Primary students took part in the National Simultaneous Storytime. This event is organised by Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) and this year marks their 25th NSS. The chosen book is shared in thousands of locations across Australia in libraries, schools, kindergartens and childcare centres.
‘The Truck Cat’ by Deborah Frenkel and Danny Snell, is a story about cats and humans, immigration and identity, and homes lost and found. This book is also Shortlisted for the Picture Book category of the Children’s Book of the Year Awards.
WORLD’S GREATEST SHAVE
Ata Secondary Assembly during Term 2 Year 12 student, Kate took part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave to help fund critical blood cancer support and research. Kate’s parents helped with the cutting of her hair, which will now be taken to a sustainable salon where it will either be transformed into a wig for those experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy, or, if the hair is not suitable for a wig, it can be used for compost, or even as booms in the ocean to soak up oil spills!
Kate has been selling handmade crocheted friendship bracelets and hearts and has raised over a $1,000 through the sales and donations. If you are interested in donating to Kate’s fundraising efforts for the Leukaemia Foundation you scan the QR code in this post.

SPARSH MINI FETE
DuringTerm 2 we held a mini fete to raise funds for SPARSH Academy, a school we sponsor in India. The event was a heartwarming display of unity, with students from Prep to Year 12, staff, parents and carers – along with their guests –joining in to make a meaningful impact.
A huge thank you to everyone who made donations, ran a stall, or simply came along to show their support. Your generosity and enthusiasm is appreciated.
BalCC partners with SPARSH Academy to support underprivileged children through educational and nutritional projects. Our financial assistance to SPARSH Academy is through fundraising by BalCC students and staff, and donations from parents and supporters.
SPARSH Academy is a non-profit educational institution that operates in the Tehri Garhwal district, Uttarakhand, North India, at the foot of Himalayas. The founder is Brother Francis Robinson, a graduate of Doon Bible College, who had a desire to provide an education facility for the children who live in this mountainous region. SPARSH Academy focuses on Education, Community Development, Health and Hygiene, Child Development, and Literacy programs.
VISUAL ARTS
To stave off the cold weather the Middle Primary Visual Arts students have been painting a beach scene during Term 2 and adding personal touches to their masterpieces.
BUSINESS STALLS
Overthe course of Term 2 the Year 8 HASS students ran small businesses that they planned in the first part of the year. The students also held market days and there was much enthusiasm and interest in seeing what was on offer – things from fidget toys to hand-made bracelets, succulents to spiders (the drink, of course), and keychains to stickers, among many other things.
Above all, this is a learning experience in the intricacies and challenges of running a business, and while some of the Year 8s may have made mistakes along the way, they will hopefully get better as they go along.
Thank you to any and all who came along and offered support, as well as to the parents and carers who helped get things going in the lead-up to this event.
SCIENCEWORKS
Aspart of their Integrated Studies units our Lower Primary students had an excursion to Scienceworks during Term 2 for supervised general viewing and to take part in the Rainbow, Shadows, and Light - STEM Lab where they discovered the science of light and colour by using STEM principles to experiment and design.
The students experienced the captivating phenomena of light, including splitting white light into rainbows and making animated shadows, experimenting with different materials to see the ways that they filter and block light, using an assortment of materials to creatively tell stories and build a night light. As well as learning to apply their STEM skills, including problem solving, creativity, teamwork, communication, and resilience.
REAL TALKS
During Term 2 our Years 9-11 students had the incredible opportunity to learn from industry professionals across Health, Building & Construction, Community Services, Law, and Aged Care as part of the ‘Real Talk’ presentations organised by Highlands LLEN.
The students heard real-world insights into each career journey — from the pathways that led to success to the everyday realities of working in these fields.
By connecting students with local professionals, we’re not just broadening their networks — we’re opening their eyes to career opportunities they may not have considered before.

SCAVENGER HUNT
DuringTerm 2 the Year 9s all participated in a “scavenger hunt” around campus that required them to use their knowledge of Pythagoras’ theorem to use phone triangulation to track five boxes. Once they had used the given data, and their math sets, they set off to collect five envelopes that had been placed around campus. Once they retrieved their envelopes, they opened them to re-arrange a set of letters to form a phrase associated with Year 9:
• Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly (Micah 6:8)
• Lean into the hard (The Year 9 motto)
Students had a ball showing that math is all around us and showed just how competitive they can be!
UP FOOD & DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES
Each term, our Upper Primary students participate in Food Technology and Design Technology classes to build foundational skills in these subjects, preparing them for Secondary school and enriching their overall learning experience.
In Food Technology during Term 2 the students have been learning to use the kitchen safely as they create healthy, easy to prepare recipes. The students have made, macaroni cheese, chicken tacos, savoury muffins, mini pizzas and golf balls (as a Mother’s Day gift).
The students have also learnt the importance of correct measuring,
heat control using the oven and food presentation, as they eat with their eyes first before they consume!
During Semester 1 the Upper Primary students in Design Technology have been gaining confidence in hand tool use. The focus has been on safely using a variety of tools to create a Perspex clock, mobile phone stand and a timber tic tac toe game. The students have all enjoyed this hands-on subject.
Thank you to our Food Technology teacher, Mrs Clare Wilksch and our Design Technology teacher, Mr Malcolm Solomano for their work with the Upper Primary students.
ELEV8 CSEN MASTERMIND COMPETITION
UpperPrimary Elev8 participated in the Primary Mastermind competition hosted online by Christian Schools Events Network (CSEN) during Term 2. Students competed against five other schools to answer quiz questions related to English, Maths, Science, HASS and general knowledge.
There was a great team spirit throughout the day, particularly when Levi, Ben, Owen, Ezekiel, Ethan and Caleb achieved podium finishes in sections within Maths, Science, HASS and general knowledge, achieving second overall in the two latter categories. At the end of the day BalCC tied second place overall. The event was a fantastic opportunity for our students to challenge themselves, celebrate their learning, and connect with peers from other schools in a fun and engaging way.
SALVATION ARMY WINTER APPEAL
Atthe end of May our Winter Appeal collection for The Salvation Army finished. What a blessing to be able to put our College values into practice. Students had the opportunity to show compassion and to be generous towards those who are doing it rough this winter. 2 Corinthians 9:7, which states, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
A message from the Salvos
By donating cosy beanies, scarves, and other winter warmers — and raising funds — you’re helping The Salvation Army bring hope where it’s needed most.
Right here in Greater Ballarat, your support means:
• Children can feel safe and seen at BEANS Kids Outreach
• Families in crisis can find care through Family Support Services
• Community members doing it tough can enjoy a hot meal and connection at Café@102
• Local households can access essential groceries through The Grocery Box
Every item, every dollar, every prayer — it all helps us share warmth, dignity and hope this winter.
Thank you, Ballarat Christian College!
SOVEREIGN HILL COSTUMED SCHOOL
DuringTerm 2 our Upper Primary students participated in a two-day immersive program at the Sovereign Hill
Costumed School, stepping back in time to experience history firsthand as part of the living museum
Students were transported to the 1850s where they took part in costumed role-play, learning about what life was
like for a child in those days and participating in activities like writing with ink, reciting poetry, playing children’s games and even suffering through an inspection by the School Inspector!
Students agreed that, although they enjoyed the two-day program, they were glad to get back to BalCC.

TOP DESIGN
TheVCE Art Creative Practice and Visual Communication and Design students took part in an excursion to the Top Arts and Top Designs exhibitions at the Ian Potter Centre and Melbourne Museum during Term 2. The excursion was an integral part of their art curriculum, in which students have been exploring the folio development, responses to artists and gallery spaces.
Visiting the exhibitions gave students a firsthand glimpse into the intricate processes involved in a final artwork production and a trip through Hosier Lane to view the street art of Melbourne gave the students a taste of contemporary art.
BUSHFOOD INNOVATIONS
DuringTerm 2 our Year 9 and 10 Food Technology students took part in the Ballarat Tech School (BTS) Bushfood Innovations program, which introduces students to the processes behind contemporary food development and innovation while simultaneously celebrating Australia’s rich culinary heritage.
Students were able to get hands-on to experience designing and creating a bush food themed confectionery item, while exploring indigenous ingredients and exotic essences, such as Lemon Myrtle, Pepper Berry, Wattleseed. The program combined with the use of AI platforms and modern cooking techniques allowing the students to display their full creative and collaborative skills as they produced their very own product.

VCE MUSIC
During Term 2 our VCE Music students had the privilege to perform with Ballarat Grammar VCE Music students at Wendouree Centre of Performing Arts (WPAC). The Year 12 students all performed two of their songs from their repertoire and were part of the whole VCE Music class combined item. Similarly, the Year 11 music students each performed two items, showcasing a variety of skills and techniques.
It was a wonderful evening, and we thank all their parents and their instrumental teachers for attending alongside BalCC staff Mrs Julie Gall, Mr Don Gall, Mr Dennis Rodwell and VCE Music teacher, Mrs Sarah Rodwell.
BIOLOGY EXCURSION
Our Year 12 Biology students attended Ballarat Tech School (BTS) for a workshop during Term 2 to help students develop their laboratory skills.
During the day students had an opportunity to use gel electrophoresis, and together with a family’s medical history, they diagnosed a monogenetic or “single-gene” disorder. They practiced providing valuable genetic counselling. While the gels were running, the students were introduced to a molecular biologist who took them on a tour of the Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute (FECRI).
