‘What is going on at the Primary Campus?’ might be a question you have been asking yourself over the course of the last two weeks.
Sometimes it feels like our school has been a non-stop construction site this year. With work on the Multi-Purpose Hall, Primary Music Room, and Secondary Administration complete, attention has turned to our Primary Staff Room, Sports Court, Carpark and Drop Off Zone.
It is the Primary Carpark and Drop Off Zone that has caught the attention of passers-by of late. Whilst carefully retaining the trees that we can, preparation works have involved the clearing of the site. The outcome will be a much-improved access to drop off and parking for the Primary Campus.

Change brings its own challenges, of course, as we continue to run a busy and active school community around the restrictions of building works. Growth and change, whether in buildings or in our own lives, are rarely clean and without struggle. A life lived in faithfulness to God does not bring a promise of ease and comfort. Rather, God promises to use the challenges and struggles of life to transform our character and to gradually conform our lives to the pattern of His
son, Jesus.
Jesus’ brother, James wrote to encourage the followers of God, “consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” — James 1:2-4
