A message from our Campus Principal

Our HOPE teachers wear many hats! Thank you for working in partnership with us in ‘growing your young people’.

We are:

We are ‘called’ to HOPE to support the mission of the school, each playing our part as we strive to  provide an excellent Christ centred education. 

I am blessed to work with a team of educators who are committed to their craft, are humble and real, who ‘teach for the heart’, and who choose to love your children (even on the days when they may not be acting very ‘lovable’.)  I believe that I can speak on behalf of all of our staff in saying that one of our prayers is for God to work in each of us to develop the following traits, so that we can have a significant and lasting impact in the hearts and lives of the young people that you entrust into our care.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), gentleness (kindness), goodness, faith, meekness (gentleness), temperance (self-control): against such there is no law. Galations 5:22-23

But, Learning isn’t just influenced by teachers, the classroom, the tools, or curriculum. While teachers are responsible for creating a productive learning environment, parents play a critical role in ensuring a child shows up at school ready to learn. As parents you can support us in our work by: Normalising and supporting the challenges that come with learning; Keeping  your relationships with your kids strong; Helping your children adapt to the expectations and structures that ‘are’ school; keeping your own relationships with teachers on track; supporting the school schedule, routines and expectations; helping create routine, structure and play time out of school hours; supporting your children with challenging peer interactions and keeping the lines of communication open between school and home.

Prayer isn’t an activity apart from the work of ministry; prayer is a primary element of the actual work of ministry. And the only thing that can really get in the way of my engaging in this ministry is . . . me.” -- Alan Fadling, An Unhurried Leader: The Lasting Fruit of Daily Influence

Reminder: 

Please remember that email is often the best way to contact staff but please allow time for us to respond. Speaking personally, often my day does not allow time to address emails until the end of the day, and for classroom teachers there are even less opportunities. We do not expect our staff to respond to emails sent after 4pm on a school day until the following work day. (whether the email is from a parent or a colleague)
