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.
End-of-year reports offer more than reflections—they’re opportunities to celebrate growth and set goals for the future. At Calvin, we see education as more than academics; it’s about nurturing purpose, curiosity, and resilience. True fulfillment, however, comes from Christ, who offers life to the full (John 10:10). As we close the year, we’re reminded that faith shapes learning, and reporting has a purpose beyond the classroom.
Great schools are built on strong communities, not individuals. Events like ECON 24 highlight the power of connection and shared purpose. At Calvin, we’re committed to fostering collaboration and strengthening relationships to create a vibrant learning environment—because no one should bowl alone.
Growing up in a fatherless home can come with its own set of challenges, but Christian schools are stepping in to offer hope and stability. Discover how these schools are becoming a beacon of support for students who lack paternal guidance.
Emmanuel Christian School is more than just a place of learning—it’s a diverse community united in purpose. Explore how our culture celebrates each individual’s unique gifts and creates a welcoming environment for all.
Canberra trips aren’t just about seeing the sights—they’re transformative experiences that deepen students’ understanding of history and culture. Read how these adventures are shaping young minds and strengthening our school community.
