Middle & Senior School News Farewell Year 12 Congratulations to the Graduating class of 2014. You are an amazing group of young people and we thank you for your contributions over your time here at St Andrews.
you and your children. Finally, I want to acknowledge the dedication and commitment shown by our teaching staff, for if the children are the heartbeat of the College, then the staff are the nervous system that keeps them energized in their learning journey. The work they do in and out of classes is what keeps our students learning, growing and developing as learners and as well-rounded individuals. Non-teaching staff, teacher aides, groundsmen, administration, library, Tuckshop, and Uniform Shop also go above and beyond to ensure this is a College of flourishing and so to them we are also most grateful.
Year 12 Graduates, may God bless you and keep you safe through the journey of this life and may you remain confident in God’s love and plan for you. Above all else, seek joy, be hopeful and continue to share your light with the world!
I would also like to express immense appreciation and gratitude to Pastor Terry Unger who retires this year after 10 years of service at St Andrews. Terry has brought with him an uncanny way of simply being there when he is needed and has connected with students, staff, and families in real and meaningful ways aplenty. From spiritual guidance and ensuring our daily living in this community is grounded in Christ to being forever accepting and curious about others; this College has benefited greatly and been truly blessed by his humble service and presence. Pastor Terry, we will miss you and wish you and Grace every blessing on your journey ahead.
End of Year As the College year begins to come to a close and we finalize the students’ reports, I would like to offer a word of thanks to the students, one and all, for their exceptional approach to College life throughout the year. Their vibrancy is truly the heartbeat of our College. I would also like to thank our College parents for their unwavering support and partnership. We appreciate the relationships we hold with
