As we run, we trust

By Mr Andy Gordon, Interim Principal

I haven’t run a marathon, but those who have, tell me that there comes a point where willpower and fatigue meet.

That is where I feel we are at present. The physical exertion of the recent Cross Country Carnival, dovetails with the reflective expression of last weekend’s 40th P&F Artshow.

Can we feel and exert simultaneously? We can. We do.

Our values were forged, not in clay, not in iron, but in the hearts of our people.

As we move around the campus, participate in and watch weekend sport, attend performances, dedicate time to service learning and after-hours care, we feel right in the middle of the marathon, with people who are running with us.

As we run, we trust in our first words (shown below in designs by Collegian and former staff member Dougal Mordike) to strengthen our resolve to keep going.

Our College prayer reflects our values in action, lived.

Great Creator God,
you sing the world into life and fill it with love
binding the things of earth with the Kingdom of Heaven.
Breathe your Spirit over this land,
awaken our senses and fill us with light
that with Christ your Son
we would live in truth
rise in compassion
and walk in wisdom.
Amen.

Go well and lead well.

Andy
