 Culture
“There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests gets together to work toward the same goals. The Christian faith says that if we are to work, and pray, with others, our return of labour will be greater. Our staff and students recognise this concept with every educational opportunity they are involved in, it is a collaborative effort to not only increase the educational outcomes of the students but increase their understanding of the significance God plays in this process”.
