Gikonyo Dear God, You have done such a marvelous job of creating us and the world around us. Among your greatest gifts are our friends and acquaintances. They are the yeast in the dough of life that makes life lively and interesting. We come to You now asking for the grace and strength to keep a sense of respect. We hope that by recognizing and honoring the shared Spirit in everyone we meet, we can contribute to making our school a safer, more caring, more inclusive community. May Your gift of respect help us to live each day with the confidence that we are in the company of people who are not strangers but who are our spiritual brothers and sisters. We ask this in the name of Jesus our Brother, who lived to show us your way. Amen Dear Parents/Guardians, We have now begun the second term. Thank you to staff, students and parents for coming together for the recent reporting period to collaborate and plan for further success. Despite the many activities which occur around the school, we must always appreciate the fact that our main goal is the full educational development of children, in an academic, spiritual and physical sense. In particular teachers are focusing their literacy and numeracy instructions to ensure constant student progress. In addition, we are truly blessed with so many talented staff who generously go above and beyond to provide athletic and artistic experiences for students outside of the regular day. As we move through the remainder of the year, we all work towards maintaining a healthy balance as we provide educational opportunities for the students.
