Principal’s Message
What a wonderful evening we had at the Year 12 Ball last Saturday. It was a
significant milestone marking 10 years since Strathalbyn Christian College moved
our Ball to its rightful place, which is at the end of the year following WACE exams
and the end of formal schooling. A true acknowledgement and celebration
happens when you complete something significant.
I had the privilege of sitting with the Head Boy and Girl from Nagle Catholic College
on the evening, who were invited guests. They made it very clear to me that what
we have in our College is truly something they appreciate and longingly miss within
their own community. It was a good opportunity for me to help them understand
why it’s so difficult for a big school to do things as well as we do, and conversely
why it’s difficult for us to do things that are easier for bigger schools. It was a rich,
engaging conversation and helped frame up the celebration they were welcomed
into.
We have such a special community and the Ball is yet another example of “In
Partnership with parents” playing out in its fullest expression. I want to
acknowledge the 9 months of work that the Year 12 Ball Committee (parents) put
into the planning and preparation for the “Peter Plan” theme, which included a
whole day of set up then packing down at the end. Your sacrifice of time and “acts
of service” to your children, now young adults, does not go unnoticed. The sacrifice
is without reward, yet we have the hope of a greater reward in Christ, knowing our
young people see our model of service learnt from knowing “Jesus as Lord”. The
outworking you demonstrated with “excellence” delivered the greatest Ball in
Geraldton!
Well done on fulfilling and embodying the College Mission Statement.
