Tena koutou katoa!
It is my pleasure to lead the Middle School. In this area of the school we are dedicated to building on the foundations that your child established during their Primary School years and preparing them to graduate into the Senior College. Our prayer is that this will be a time of success, growth, and encouragement for each student as they embark on this chapter their life.
Middle Schooling is a time when students are growing intellectually, socially, and emotionally. As a Christian school we aim to guide our students through these changes, cultivating their character, helping them to learn resilience, and teaching them to act with integrity, kindness and respect.
We want our Middle School students to:
- Develop a personal relationship with Christ: to know and worship Him, to serve Him, to understand their purpose in Him and to live for His glory.
- Be active learners: influenced by Biblically based teaching, the leading of Holy Spirit, open to advice and correction in a safe and stable environment.
- Be active contributors: pursuing excellence with humility, displaying character and virtues, willing to be good stewards with a service mind-set as well as displaying effective inter-personal skills.
- Be critical thinkers: to be informed decision makers, able to critique and engage with contemporary society and resist the influence of popular culture and other secular thinking.
As Acting Deputy Principal – Head of Middle School, I am committed to seeing the best outcomes for each of our Year 7 – 10 students. We want to see our students thrive and flourish, not only academically, but in all areas of life. God has given each of us unique gifts and talents; these can be nurtured and developed while students are in our Middle School.
