Feb - Dec

How did that happen, a year of learning already done and dusted! That year has to go down in history as the fastest year EVER! February to December already completed. It was a year of incredible growth personally, academically and spiritually. My little people have faced the mountain of learning and scaled its heights with determination, I couldn't be prouder. Every step of the learning journey developing resilience, perseverance, determination and success. 

We are not only growing the brightest minds of the future but also the hearts and souls of tomorrow's generation. How we do that matters! Every word, every decision, every step is forming character, fortitude and significance in the little people sitting before us. Limitless potential sits waiting. We have one year to bring it forth, to speak to its existence, and make it believe that anything is truly possible. At the end of a year we hope that we have given our little people deep roots for learning and strong wings to fly as high as they possibly can.

Two years on and our little campus is experiencing amazing growth. We are bursting at the seams. These last two years have seen us plough tough terrain as we launched our new campus in 2015 as a P-3 school with 5 classes. It has been an honour and privilege to invest my heart and soul into building the future of Christian schooling as Campus Co-ordinator. The vision expanded this year into a P- 4 school and we have stretched our capacity in so many different directions. We have added a new classroom block of 10 classrooms. Next Year we become a P-5 school with the addition of 6 more classes. We have sown into a legacy of hope and purpose and waved the banner of peace over all that we do. We are expectant for this next season and in the years ahead. We know we are investing in the future and paving the way for the plans and purposes of God to be outworked. In 2019 we launch our first high school program. We still have a long way to go but we are well on the way!

And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 3:18

Sometimes

So here we go, another year sits before us as we delve into curriculum, culture and community. Another year to develop our curriculum, grow our school culture and community, while forging robust resilient character in everyone. 2016 will see our little campus go from five classes to seven. I am so excited for what the future holds. I still pinch myself that I get to do this job and oversee the growth and plans at Pimpama! I thank my lucky stars and am grateful to my heavenly father who has trusted me with this vision.  Sometimes it takes my breath away.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

Be who you are

In a world of compromise and comparisons, it is vital that we live above the maddening crowd. 

Stop accepting less than the best, you deserve better. Give yourself permission to shine.You were born for greatness. The seeds of hope and destiny are buried deep within you. 

Remove the limitations that confine you to small minded thinking. Open your heart and soul wide to limitless possibility. The creative genius within you is busting to break free. Don't let it die before it has time to grow.

Be who you are, WHO you were born to be!

Live life being your authentic self, no one can ever be you!

Those who love you will celebrate what makes you unique, the rest doesn't matter at all. May what truly matters - that glorious potential of your heart and soul, you without all the fuss, shine brighter than stars above.

Shine ever brighter!
