It was wonderful to see and meet so many parents at our recent engagement evenings for the Junior and Secondary schools. In the plenary session, I spoke briefly on a few matters and below is a summary.
“A Firm Foundation”: This is our school motto, and it appears printed across an open Bible at the bottom of our crest. It speaks to the spiritual foundation we have in Christ and his word, and also to the educational foundation we provide as a learning institution, along with the enduring foundation for life that we seek give to our students, in partnership with with parents.
Strategic Directions: The school board of directors governs our organisation, guided by five strategic pillars.
- Christian Culture
- Learning Culture
- Engaged and Effective Staff
- Physical Environment and Infrastructure
- Stakeholder and Community Engagement
Building on that underpinning, we are developing a new strategic plan to guide priorities and projects over the coming years, to ensure our school continues to provide quality Christian education, both now and into the future.
Building Plans: The Sportsfield and Carpark project is moving forward – we are currently out to tender and expect the first stage of excavation and construction to begin next term. The school has stewarded its financial resources carefully over a number of years and thus has saved a significant portion of the expected costs. As a result, the project has not impacted on our current school fees. While we would prefer to build more learning facilities before a carpark, more onsite parking spaces are a requirement to get approval for any future building developments, and so this project is a necessary first step as we develop a masterplan for the whole site.
