From the Principal: "Leaving Things Better Than We Find Them" by Shane Jurecky
As I have started to connect with staff, students and families over these first few weeks of Term 3, I have been inspired by the high degree of care and consideration demonstrated by our community towards each other and for the world around us. One of the values we seek to nurture in our students is the principle of stewardship. As Christians, we believe that God has entrusted us with responsibilities: to care for one another, to look after His creation, and to use our gifts and opportunities wisely. A simple way to think about stewardship is this: leave things better than you find them.
