How are our Vision and Values underpinned by the bible? When the image above changes to Rev. Stroma, please click the video to learn more! As a distinctive Church school, we ensure that our Christian Values are the heart-beat of everything we do.
Through the teaching of Jesus, we learn as one united school, federation and local community where everyone is welcomed to 'work together to be the best that we can be'. Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. When individuals work together, they can double their strength and get much more done as a team.
They also reap the value of having worked in unison, thus creating harmony instead of disorder. Working as one people begins with the efforts of each person, as they work with another person. The children explore this in different (age appropriate) ways in their classes, linking it to many stories in the bible and also their day-to-day lives.
