Faith and Community

'Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is so good, and by raising Jesus from death, he has given us new life and a hope that lives on.'

1 Peter 1:3

This year our School has enjoyed a wonderful season of growth in our two school values, Faith and community (from our pre2022 values). Through the many different learning experiences, the boys have explored who Jesus is and become more acquainted with their God Story. Semester 1 saw us explore Jesus’ identity through the famous “I AM” statements and the different names given to Jesus. Our 'God the Builder' series in Term 3 was a hit with the boys, which saw us explore God’s masterpiece - us! We learned that God the builder has ‘built’ incredible truths into our lives. We are valued, loved, forgiven, citizens of heaven, saved by Jesus, blessed and heard by God. All these wonderful realities are made possible as we build our lives upon Jesus the rock! In Term 4 boys enjoyed hearing 'God Stories' from people in the Bible as well as from their teachers. It was wonderful for the boys to hear God stories of those within our community and the incredible joy they have living with Jesus in their life. We also enjoyed 'rocking it out' with our Memory Verse from Acts 2:21! Like every year, it’s a joy and a privilege to provide boys opportunities and platforms for them to grow and express their faith journey in a safe and supportive environment. To me this affirms the importance of our School prayer which we pray every week and which God has graciously answered in abundance!
