Rite Journey Homecoming

It was a joy to celebrate the end of our Year 9 rite of passage program, The Rite Journey, together with parents and mentors at this year's Homecoming evening.

We teachers were delighted, awe-struck and freshly surprised at the every-day miracle unfolding again before our eyes: Children outgrowing childhood and rising to the call of becoming men and women with all the challenges that entails. Many of us were struck by the noticeable leap forward in maturity represented by not only their clothes (though they did look sharp, it has to be said), but even more by the speeches each of them made in the presence of their parents and mentors.

Hearing the openness, faith, confidence, and deep reflection in their words and their manner of carrying themselves filled us with hope for the blessing they will be wherever God may send them in the days and years to come.

We thank God that we can play some small part in being the 'village' that it takes to raise a child and commend these fantastic Year 9s to your ongoing prayers!
