Looking to the Future: Expansion of Primary School
We are pleased to inform you that our current enrolment projections mean that we will move from 12 to 13 classes in Primary School in 2021. In real terms, this means there will be no composite classes in the Primary school next year. We are committed to providing excellence in Christ-centred education for you and your family and thank God for His hand upon our School as we look to the future. We will soon be finalising our class placements for 2021 in readiness for our Primary Orientation Day, which will be held on Thursday 3 December 2020. We are looking forward to a great year in 2021 and thank you for your continued support.Merry Christmas
Announcement of Captains
Eight weeks ago, we began a process of seeking young leaders in our school to serve in the role of School Captains for 2021.
The process culminated with a number of young people being nominated for this position following their written application offering themselves in service to God and undergoing an extensive interview process.
Following this process, we are pleased to announce that the School Captains for Torrens Valley Christian School in 2021 are: Captains for 2021 Noel & Renee. Vice Captains for 2021 Josiah & Adele.

ANZ Tennis Hot Shots Year 3/4 Carnival
This year, on a lovely mild Friday (30 October), Torrens Valley was represented by three teams of very enthusiastic, keen and eager, Year 3s and 4s.
After practicing most of the year, students were getting the chance to play Hot Shots against other schools!
The students did enjoy this fun competitive opportunity and benefited from it in terms of improving their skills, understanding the rules and tactics, playing fairly and increasing their social and communication skills.
NAIDOC WEEK
Last week to celebrate NAIDOC Week, many of our Primary students participated in creating rock art in their lunch times.
Quite a few students also entered a NAIDOC poster competition.
We had some fabulous entries and it was very difficult to choose only two winners!
Our winners were Libby from 4HW and Isla from 1K. Ruth and Lily received commendations for their efforts. Well done everyone!
TVCS Trees for Life
Mr Bowyer and a mixture Primary and Secondary young environmentalists are in the process of planting out 250 native seeds.
When these young trees are approximately six months old they will be planted out on a farm in rural South Australia.
Teaching the next generation about the importance of sustainability is the key! Well done TVCS!
2021 Reception Orientation
This term, the receptions for 2021 have had their orientation day.
Our theme this year was “Starting School Superheroes”.
Our focus for the visits was for the children to meet their teacher and other children who will be in their class next year as well as become familiar with their new surroundings and some of the play experiences which will form an integral part of the transition process into school in Term 1.

Indo Club
A wonderful group of Year 6 students spent Friday lunchtimes designing and painting their Indonesian fans this term.
They learnt about Indonesian culture and had great fun learning design skills.
The results look beautiful! Indah!
Year 8 German Cake Day
In Week 7 of this term the Year 8 German classes had the opportunity to come in at lunch time to try two very famous German cakes – Bienenstich (Bee Sting) and Apfelstreuselkuchen (Apple Crumble Cake).
Of course, each student had to order it in German which was quite a mouthful! Mrs Prattis also joined them and had to order in German. She did quite well!
Year 11 German Picnic
The Year 11 German class recently celebrated the German language and culture by holding a German Picnic on the oval under the shade of the beautiful, large tres.
Each student was able to enjoy 2 German Sausages (Weisswurst and Viennas) a pretzel and potato salad.
It was a lovely way to finalise the culmination of several years of studying German.
German Excursion to Hahndorf
In Term 4 the Year 9 German Class visited Hahndorf with Frau Allen and Herr Allen.
They learnt about German migration history, visited a local Lutheran church and cemetery and explored the main street.
It was a lovely day overall.
Food and Hospitality
The Year 10 Child Studies class have been making T-shirt dresses, to send overseas for young girls, who may never have owned a new dress. The students have gained many new skills in garment construction as well as knowing that what they have created will bless the lives of a few girls overseas.
Year 11 Food and Hospitality class finished off their year by preparing and serving their carefully planned two course dinners to their parents.
The Home Economics sewing room was turned into a dining room for the evening, with flowers and our best tablecloths and tableware. Our visitors enjoyed the beautifully prepared and presented meals (as well as having a night off cooking!)
