It is with great excitement and gratitude that we reflect on a season of significant growth and new beginnings for our School.
Last Monday, we had the joy of opening our four new classroom spaces and placing a time capsule in the wall. We will open this capsule in 25 years time and we were able to ponder what life might be like and how the school and community may change by 2049.
I recently read a Strategic Plan from the early 2000s that set a plan to grow the Primary School to 220 students at some stage in the future. This was looking at projections of the growing Kingborough Community and the previous growth patterns of the School. This was a goal from over 20 years ago and through God’s provision and blessing this has well and truly been accomplished. This year we currently have over 320 students in our Primary School, all being offered the opportunity to grow and be nurtured in our Christian School environment!
“Each classroom, learning space, and gathering area will serve as a place where our children’s curiosity and faith are nurtured,”
Our growth in students and new facilities represents more than just numbers or bricks and mortar. They symbolise the fruits of the collective labour and faith of the Calvin community in the past and present, all paving the way for the growth and development of our student community. They are a testament to God's provision and our shared commitment to creating an environment where students can flourish academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Each classroom, learning space, and gathering area will serve as a place where our children’s curiosity and faith are nurtured, and where they are encouraged to grow into the people God has destined them to be.
As we embark on this new chapter, let us embrace the changes with a spirit of joy and anticipation. We celebrate the ways in which these new spaces will enrich our educational experience and foster deeper connections within our school family. We ask for your continued prayers and support as we provide Christian Education to families within our community. We look forward to seeing where God’s provision and blessings take us to in 2049 when the time capsule is opened. No doubt again, He will exceed our goals and expectations when we put our trust and faith in Him!
