Growing Together

Each fortnight we have different threads that we reflect on during assemblies, chapels, class and pastoral care devotions and in the newsletter. This introductory piece that I write, and Pastor Tim’s article that follows, focus on different aspects of the thread which for this fortnight has been ‘responsibility’.  Mr Davis will often include reference to how he has unpacked the thread during the P-5 assembly in his introductory paragraphs.  As a College, we value the importance of the partnership that exists between parents, students and staff in supporting deep and rich growth. Our hope is that parents will take the opportunity to discuss these threads with their young people, listen to what young people have learnt and deepen the learning experience within their families. Often the perspective of young people can provide a refreshing insight. 

This week you are invited to watch the B6 and B7 Middle and Senior College chapel presentation via the link and consider how this encouragement to respond with kindness, inclusion, patience, courage and thoughtfulness rather than judgement can strengthen relationships, foster hope, enhance agency and open new possibilities.
