“There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body…. All of them will take care of one another. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honoured, every part shares in its joy.
You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:12, 26-27
We are already into Week 2 of another busy term at Thomas Hassall. It was helpful to be reminded of this wonderful section of the Bible on our P-12 Staff Day last week. We are all parts of the body, with different gifts and functions.
This term, we honour students across so many areas of learning. Through our debating schedule, the athletics carnival, grade assessments and reports, merit and Principal awards for students showing exemplary learning behaviours and kindness, the College Musical – so many parts of the body helping to make our College the best it can be.
Where does your child contribute to the P-6 Thomas Hassall body? Do they serve in humility, love and wisdom? Every day, the Junior School staff aim to support the learning of all the students in our care. Learning takes place in the classroom, the playground and in every interaction between the students, their friends and the staff.
Please encourage your children to see how they can help to make this busy term a positive one for all members of the Junior School body.
“Every member serves the whole body, either to its health or to its detriment.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
