Mission - Mission is part of looking out for others, to love our neighbour, being able to serve, to make a difference in the lives of others. We encourage all our students to have this attitude.
Fiji – When possible during the college years of school, students are able to apply to attend the annual mission trip to Fiji. Our school has a sister relationship with Nakelo District School, a small rural school in Nausori, Fiji, where we are able to support their staff and students.
Students & the school family endeavour to fundraise, so that funds are available to make a difference whilst the group is in Fiji.
Compassion – The college student executive team support a child through Compassion and often participate in the 40Hour Famine, raising money to support these causes.
Philippines – Each class in the junior school support a child through the Mission Possible for Future Generations. These children live in a slum area, where life is difficult.
The funds received allow them to have access to education and food. Classes do individual class and/or group activities to raise the needed funds.
Watato – The teaching staff undertake to support a teacher, teaching at Hope Senior School through the Watato ministry in Uganda.
