In witnessing Christian values we reject ideas, beliefs and behaviours, which marginalise or victimise people.

Will I be able to come and help in the classroom?

We welcome parents and grandparents to help in the classrooms. Each grade will be different, but parents often participate and contribute in the classroom.  This could include helping with reading and literacy programs, mathematics groups, technology, craft, or by offering expertise in a particular area of interest, such as Indigenous Education or Music.
