Year of Adventure
Year of Adventure
Joshua 1:9
"…Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
The start of 2019 has been dubbed the year of ‘adventure’. At the Commencement Service, Dr Dolling used the analogy of adventure to get us thinking about where we are heading and, more importantly, how we are heading into the year ahead. When I reflect on what ‘adventure’ meant to me, it conjured up images of excitement, new beginnings and different places. However, within that there is also an element of trepidation and uncertainty in going forward. How lucky it is that we have the words of Joshua with us!
Last week many of our Senior College students began the first uncertain steps of their new journey. The Year 10 cohort began the step-up to Senior College; the Year 11 group began a brand new curriculum; and the Year 12’s started the first day of their last year at the school. In all aspects of 2019, I encourage our students to walk boldly with the knowledge that “the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”.
The Year 12 group began their final year journey with a Leadership Day, run by Lutheran Youth of Queensland where they were challenged to think about how they would contribute to the PLC community in a positive way this year as leaders. All students were thoroughly engaged throughout the whole day and the highlight for all was when they were introduced to their Year 2 ‘buddy’s’ at the end of the day and having the Year 2’s present them with their Senior Jersey and Year 12 badge. I congratulate all Year 12 students on the way they have started the year and look forward to working with them all, to get the most out of the year ahead.
