The importance and power of prayer in a Christian school

Mr Brett Hartley

When I meet with new parents and their children I often talk about the importance of relationships in the life of a Christian school community. Positive student peer relationships. Respectful and warm relationships between teachers and their students. Meaningful connections between parents and teachers. These relationships are important to help school to feel like family. This sense of belonging helps students to feel emotionally safe, focus on their studies and achieve academically.

What does a casual teacher do when taking a Junior School class?

Parents may wonder what a casual teacher does during the school day when teaching a Junior School class. Firstly, it’s important to know that all our casual teachers are interviewed and then trained to understand our school context, policies and procedures. When a class or learning support teacher is away due to illness or they are attending a course, the classroom teacher leaves or forwards work for the day.
