“Do to others as you would have them do to you”
The Big Picture has never been a better name for a school produced feature document than now. We have had, and still do have the issues and modified practises around COVID-19 and keeping our students and each other safe.
We are viewing survey and anecdotal feedback on the distance learning program and the return to face-to-face learning at school. We have learned a lot and want to make sure we capitalise on these learnings.
Planning for the courtyard redevelopment set for term three is exciting as is planning for 2021. There is nothing little going on. The Big Picture stuff is time-consuming and culture changing. As a school and community, we are continuing to place the building blocks for considerable success.
It doesn’t matter what the topic or issue is or how big it is, everything filters down to our core business of providing quality education through a Christian lens within God’s caring oversight and our wonderfully supportive and nurturing community.
I am bursting with pride and joy to be part of Emmanuel Christian School, and all we stand for and all the families we support. As we continue to embed our school values of courage, integrity and respect in all we do build-up of our core Biblical values of faith, hope and love we will see amazing things happen around us and through us.
Courage, integrity and respect are three fundamentals to really help our students shape their attitudes and ideas to stretch themselves and bless others with their presence and support.
After a strange term, I trust you will all have a blessed holiday with your kids ready for a solid nine-week term three.
