A conversation with the Head of College

upcoming major events

Mr John Weeks

What’s in a Motto? This week, I’ve been talking to our students about the meaning and the intent of our school Motto ‘All for Christ’. This is a prominent feature of the Scots All Saints College crest. It is very common for schools, universities, clubs, companies, even families to have a Motto. The Motto is usually a very brief statement which articulates a belief, hope, goal, aim etc. Our Motto makes it clear that we are a Christian School, built upon the beliefs, values and assurances which come from Christ and his teachings. In relation to our College, there are a number of key attributes which I believe are helpful in understanding our Motto. There are many, but I would like to suggest the significance of the following which gives understanding to the Motto, ‘All for Christ’. 1. Knowledge – Christ was a teacher who implored us to ‘seek truth’ 2. Faith – Christ is the foundation of our faith 3. Compassion – Christ cared for all who taught us all to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ 4. Respect – Christ demonstrated respect for all people without compromising his position Over the next few weeks, I intend to explore these attributes fully. It is my hope that as we understand these attributes, we will understand better what it means to be ‘All for Christ’ and why. Until next week.
