Community
During enrolment interviews I am
often asked the question “What sets
Redeemer apart from other schools?”
I could answer that we are a Christian
School that doesn’t just pay ‘lip service’
to our Christian values, but that our
Christian philosophy and ethos can
be found in all that we do. I could
answer that we have a high academic
curriculum where teachers work hard to
engage students in their learning with
hands-on, exciting activities. I could discuss with future enrolment
families that Redeemer has an excellent music program, fantastic
sporting facilities and so on.
For me personally, the answer to my question is simple. I believe our
“sense of community” is what sets us apart from other schools.
In the Junior School the sense of community is alive and present
and can be seen and felt every day. There are parents who join
us regularly to hear the message of Jesus at our Chapel services.
There are parents who volunteer in the tuckshop and work quietly
behind the scenes. There are parents who see other parents in
need during drop off and pick up times and lend support of just
a listening ear or shoulder to lean on. Then there are the many
parents who assist in the classrooms.
No matter how our parents are involved in the Junior School, the
very fact that they are present and willing to work alongside the
classroom teacher for the betterment of their child, creates and
fosters a sense of community.
I feel privileged to work in such an environment and truly believe
our Community is what sets us apart from the rest!
