Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?
—Luke 14:28
Emmanuel Christian School continues to grow and thrive. We have enrolled our 18th Kinder student for 2021, and numbers for Year 7 are currently at 42. These are healthy enrolment numbers and further evidence of Emmanuel Christian School being recognised as a school where young people are cared for and provided with an excellent Christian Education.
It has been a joy to meet so many new families. Families from Northern Christian School and many from outside of Christian Schools Tasmania have valued what they see us do at Emmanuel.
I had a meeting this morning with our Project team. Our Architect, Project Manager and Business Manager, spent an hour looking over the plans for our Primary School redevelopment. It was one of those times you feel God’s blessing on our school very directly. This building project is another significant improvement for our school. The total project is $786,000. The Federal Government has given us a grant of $218,000 which is a considerable contribution.
The courtyard work is on track to be finished next term. Although building works are disruptive for a short time, the benefits far out-weigh them.
Planning for classes and increased numbers is well underway. It is exciting to see what 2021 will hold for as we look forward to leaving some of the oddities and stresses of 2020 behind. We have so much to be thankful for.
