inbarendi Landscape

A common reflection about Cornerstone College is the beautiful and natural campus. The significant trees (size, age and variety), native gardens, wetland and green spaces are quite unique. Amongst our buildings and contemporary learning areas, there are a variety of outdoor spaces that are regularly used as learning environments and social places that students can gather in their breaks. This week, another beautiful outdoor space has been completed and made available for our students. The sloping area between Anakalypsi (Library) and inbarendi (gymnasium) has been developed into a tiered, outdoor space with Gabian wall finishes. It has a scenic outlook and features seating and landscaping. The plantings include crepe myrtles and a selection of grasses. While Cornerstone has been blessed with this amazing location, the College is also blessed with very creative and clever grounds staff. They have designed and constructed this area to complement its stunning location. This includes the design and construction of the Gabian walls and outdoor furniture. Prior to its development, this area was a thoroughfare for travelling from the library to the gym. With the vision of our Grounds Manager, Shane Hein, it is now an attractive and peaceful outdoor space that will be used for both learning and recreation. Kerryn Simpfendorfer Business Manager

Adolescent Success School of Excellence

Cornerstone College has been recognised by Adolescent Success as a national school of excellence. This award recognises the innovative, contemporary, and impactful learning and wellbeing structures that Cornerstone provides for our students. It also celebrates the hard work and dedication of the educators who work with our students each day. Matthew Pearce Learning Director

Naturi Focus Week and Bake Off

On Friday, 1 April the College took part in the 6th Annual Great Naturi Bake Off. This fundraiser involved Home Groups entering one, or more cakes in the Bake Off competition. Home Groups competed to win one of five cake categories, with cakes being sliced up and sold to staff and students at recess and lunchtime. Naturi would like to thank every student and teacher who baked a cake. The quality of the cakes this year was higher than ever, and it is clear that we have some great culinary talent within our Cornerstone community. There were many other incredible cakes that were unable to be recognised as winners, but certainly deserve commendation. The winners of the five cake categories will be announced at Assembly next term. Naturi Focus Week raised $1,955.55 which went directly towards Australian Lutheran World Service.
