Encourage one another as a result. Create hope so that everyone will be a part of this together and no one will be left behind or excluded. We have high expectations for every child to realise their full potential while they learn and are safe and at ease in their surroundings. We aim for and work toward academic success for all students, giving them the opportunity to flourish and reach their full potential. I've come so people can experience life fully. Matthew 10:10 in the NIV An amazing sense of connection to the kind, encouraging group at our school. In as many ways, at as many times, in as many places, and to as many people as you can, do as much good as you can for as long as you can. 17031791 Lived was John Wesley. Our kids respect one another and God's beautiful creation by speaking and acting with kindness, consideration, and compassion. Instead of only using words or speeches, let's demonstrate our love via deeds. 1 John 3:18 in the NIV. Everyone feels valued once we show love to our neighbours. We acknowledge the individuality of each member of our community and value the diversity that exists both within it and in the larger world. Jesus said, "Love the Lord, your God, with all of your heart, soul, and mind." The first and most important commandment is this. The second commandment is similar: "Love your neighbour as yourself." NIV Matthew 22:3739.
