From our Chaplains
It is Week 2 and the term is truly underway. Our Year 6s are very excited about their upcoming performance of Matilda the Musical, the 2022 Year 12s are into the flow of the HSC exams and we had a beautiful assembly on Friday acknowledging our new Year 12 cohort and our new Year 12 leaders.
This week, Reverend Bent went to the AIS NSW Studies of Religion Conference 2022 titled Keeping the Faith, with a focus on interfaith dialogue in an Australian interfaith landscape. Reverend Bent was able to share insights into what we are already doing at Pymble, stating that we regularly acknowledge the various faiths, philosophies and cultures which exist within our community, separating us from many faith-based schools.
We pride ourselves here at Pymble on being a Uniting Church school and celebrating our Christian tradition and heritage, whilst also being able to celebrate members of our community who are Jews and Bahai, Buddhist and Muslims, Sikh and Hindus, atheists and agnostics, Jain and much more, as we work intentionally on creating a genuinely inclusive spiritual community.
I feel very proud of our pro-active and intentional inclusion of the diversity reflected in our College community.
My prayer is that we would be able to continue to value our diversity, celebrate our differences and learn from one another as we grow together as individuals and members of the College.
Blessings in Christ.
