CHRISTIAN COMMUNIT Y
I
t is essential that we secure and strengthen those distinctives that are foundational to our traditions. These include our unique Christian Community and culture, our unique village context, our residential education, and our fellowship around meals and celebrations. Our focus here is on the strengthening of the School’s unique community context by enhancing the cultural and physical identity of our geographic place. We will place the School Chapel at the centre of regular church worship for House Chapel Services, King’s Community Church Services, and weddings, baptisms and funerals through improved Chapel amenities and a pavilion.
The priority we place on human flourishing and wellbeing will also be prominent with the development of a school-wide program involving students, staff and parents.
We intend to enact changes in the areas of catering and food provision, so we will work with our partners and with the wider community in ensuring that the fellowship of sharing a meal, dining together, ensuring worthy and appropriate celebrations of that which we have achieved and that which is good within the School are at the core of community.
