Japan Service Tour

The 2023 Japan Service Tour was an incredible opportunity for our students to grow in Christian discipleship, mission-mindedness, as well as Japanese language acquisition. Tour organiser and Japanese teacher, Mrs Louise George, believes there is no better way to love our neighbour as Jesus commanded than to go to their country, not just as a tourist, but as someone who is invited into their home and school.

Fostering strong social connections

In 2013, the Wall Street Journal wrote an article called 鈥淚t Takes Planning, Caution to Avoid Being 鈥業t鈥欌. It spoke about a group of men who have played the game of tag for 23 years. Why would they do this? Because they saw the joy and benefits in still connecting with one another, even after all these years. At 色戒直播, we are focusing as a whole school on social connections. This is the relationships and friendships you have with the people around you and includes anyone who plays an鈥

Biblical Education

I read an article recently that quoted a 2007 Australian educational forum and its goals for 2020. A statement made within the forum made quite an impression, 鈥淓ssentially, education is about increasing our national productivity鈥. Such was my concern, that the statement has remained prominent in my mind. Implicit in this statement is a concerning world view asserting that the primary purpose of education is to prepare individuals to contribute to national economic productivity. While鈥

Partnership in Practice

Last week I reflected on Paul's prayers for the Philippian church, "I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." Philippians 1:5. In the spirit of that partnership, I would like to start a series that covers some the of the key ideas we look at in the Knowing God program. From the rich depths of the scriptures, we have decided to focus upon a selection of texts and ideas in order to help your children grow in their faith, or to repent and鈥

So what does culturally engaging mean?

Recently, I have been struck by the concept of 'Culturally Engaging'. This is a phrase that is embedded in our school鈥檚 Mission statement. It begs the question, do we want our students to be engaged with culture? The answer may be 鈥渨ell yes 鈥 but not all parts鈥. In student enrolment interviews the question of 鈥淲hat makes 色戒直播 different from other schools?鈥 comes up regularly. The concepts of parent partnership and a Christ-centred, biblically grounded and academically vigorous education are鈥

Learning can be frustrating! Don鈥檛 get me wrong 鈥 gaining knowledge is empowering, liberating and essential for personal growth.
