No, I’m not talking about Ross and Rachael or Joey and Phoebe, although that sitcom is worthy of conversation. I’m talking about the friends that you and I have. I’m not sure who you would list, but my list would include Callum, Matt and Kel. Each of these friends represent different seasons of my life and evoke memories of great moments, experiences, adventures, disappointments and mistakes. That’s the things about friends, they are markers in our lives, for good and for bad. We call them friends because they are with us through ups and downs, easy and hard times. Friendship,…

Strong Women

I had the pleasure of walking through the Year 7 project-based learning (PBL) expo on ‘Strong Women’ that was open to our parent community for an afternoon. It was no surprise that the vast majority of strong women chosen by students to celebrate during this learning expo were mothers and grandmothers. Of particular interest to me was a handwritten story book in which a student had penned responses from their mum to some pretty hard-hitting questions like “What is your biggest regret” and “What would you do differently”. As I looked around the multiple rooms of displays, I realized there…

Two years ago, we introduced and launched the MyPath@Faith program to parents. This award winning program allows students in Years 8 – 10 to follow their passions and stretch themselves as they select courses that match their ability. You can view the amazing courses available by clicking here. The launch marked the unveiling of this exciting initiative and was the culmination of many years hard work. It was nerve wracking stuff to put this idea that had been built over many years out there in its fullest. On that evening two years ago I have this distinct memory of reaching…

I often get asked by families, past, present, and future, what is the thing I love most about Faith, the thing that I believe sets us apart from other schools. The answer is always simple, obvious, and comes straight to mind every time. It is our authentic relationships across the College and, in particular, the way our staff genuinely care about our students and actively build quality relationships based on trust and mutual respect. It is probably not a surprise to many that research clearly tells us that one of the things that has the biggest effect on student performance…
