Over the past eight weeks I have greatly enjoyed participating in many celebratory events at many of our Uniting Church-affiliated schools and residential colleges.

I again offer my sincere congratulations to those who have given their personal best throughout 2018.

This week I attended the National Consultative Group meeting of the Independent Schools Council of Australia (ISCA) in Canberra, which included a meeting with the new Federal Minister for Education, The Hon Dan Tehan MP.

The Education Council met in Adelaide on the last Friday of June, with ministers discussing a range of national issues across the early childhood and school education portfolios.

Uniting Church schools and colleges have been established as one way of delivering our mission and values to society through the education, nurture and support of young people and their families and communities.  Uniting Church members (including clergy) with relevant skills and attributes are encouraged to consider serving on one of our school or residential college councils.

Calvary Christian College’s Principal and two staff will travel to Windsor Castle in London after being invited to tell their story of innovation in educational practice as part of Her Majesty’s Queen Elizabeth’s 90th Birthday celebrations in May, 2016. The College will also be featured in the Her Majesty’s official commemorative album in the chapter titled “The Best of the Commonwealth”.
