The Big Picture

Welcome to the big picture

The Big Picture is a monthly publication from the thought leaders of Emmanuel Christian School. The Big Picture provides an overview of the school and the direction we see it going in line with our Mission and Vision.

You’ll hear about what they think is important and why. It’s a place for careful engagement with the world and our wider community. It’s a place to sit down and read long-form not just in short sound bites. We hope that you enjoy learning more about your school as we reimagine
life’s possibilities.
