One of the greatest influencers on circus performance was a man named Charles 2 Trust
Blondin (Jean-François Gravelet), who was born in 1824.
He is considered the man who inspired the high wire act, and announced to the 4 Closing celebrations

tightrope. 6 Essential skills & mindsets
The tightrope was around 300m long, 8cm wide and 50m above the water. His Learning through the

YOUNG MINDS
While students are often ready to dismiss religious truths,
they are quick to defend the power of the values, ethics and
morals that are drawn from the same source.

five years now, I have learnt some things about the minds It is fascinating to watch teenagers ponder this disturbing

Music is the shorthand
of emotion Leo Tolstoy
Over the past Semester the Music Faculty has been a hive of
activity as students prepared for everything from the Cabaret
to Carols in the Park.
The music program at Cornerstone is rich and diverse, and
the benefits are far greater than just the thrill of performance,
or learning to master a song or an instrumental piece.
The psychological effect of music can be more powerful and
wide ranging than most people appreciate.
Learning music and listening to music can improve cognitive
performance, help to reduce stress and improve memory.
As the end of year approached, students performed at a
number of events, bringing joy both within the College and in
the community.
Performances included:
• Hey Hey it’s Cabaret
• Arts Alive
• The Year 7 Orientation Day
• Food & Fun Fest Twilight Market
• Mt Barker Carols in the Park
• Echunga Carols
The mentorship of primary school music students has
continued this year too, with performances at St Mark's
Primary School, Mount Barker and St Michael's Primary
School, Hahndorf.
This will be strengthened with Anthony Janus directing the
St Mark's Primary School Band in 2019. We hope that this
will provide more opportunities for Cornerstone ensembles to
work with and support local primary school children.
Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of the Cabaret
night was welcoming back Cornerstone College Old
Scholars, The Raymond Sisters, Rebecca (2001), Lauren
(2003) and Olivia (2008).
We thank our sponsors Duttons Adelaide Hills, Southern
Cross Cleaning and Lighthouse Books for their generous
support of the Co-Curricular Music Program.

SUMMIT TO SCHOOL
On Friday, 28 September our annual Summit
to School House event was held.
Approximately 800 students and staff walked,
ran or cycled from the summit of Mount Barker
back to the College.
Although the forecast was for rain we were
blessed with blue skies for most of the morning.
The walkers admired an amazing view as
they travelled down the summit onto Williams
Road and the cyclists and runners took on the
challenge of some very big hills on Springs Road.
Congratulations to Aroona who won the event
and took out the ‘Smelly Sandshoe Trophy’ for
the second year in a row.

The South Australian Interschool Snowsports Championships were held in Falls

The event provided an opportunity for primary and secondary students to showcase their skiing and snowboarding skills

Cornerstone has dominated the SA Interschool Snowsports Championships for the past three years, with convincing wins in

for the PT&F.
We commenced the year with the donation of approximately
$41,300 towards new shelving for the Anakalypsi (Library)

further $20,000 for the purchase of new furniture this year.
We are tremendously grateful to you, our community, for
your support and are pleased to confirm that not only have
we met this fundraising target, but exceeded it.
Many parents now sign up to assist the PT&F at our events
and in the Second Hand Uniform Shop. Through the
generosity of your time, we have been able to increase the
opening hours of the Second Hand Uniform Shop.
This has been especially important during the first and last
week of each term, and during seasonal uniform changes.
Additional hours are advertised on Facebook, Instagram and

GOLF CLASSIC
The 11th Annual Cornerstone

conditions on Friday, 12 October at
the Aston Hills Golf Club.
Approximately 100 guests joined us for a sit down
lunch and intimate audience with guest presenter
Les Burdett, former curator of the Adelaide Oval and
international sporting consultant.
Les captivated the audience with his tales of collapsed
lighting towers, international cricketing scandals,
managing complex political and ethical issues and
even shared his deeply personal experience with
prostate cancer.
Following lunch, guests filled the green for the ambrose
competition which included some serious and not so
serious challenges!
