Close to 80 students in Years 4 to 6 gather in S Block during Friday lunch times to hear about Jesus, have fun and learn more about the Bible. The Bible is faithfully taught by a team of teachers, where the students are engaged and are able to deepen their understanding of God and practically apply what they’ve learnt to their lives. The students are also able to relax and build relationships with their peers through high-energy games and songs.

This term we are looking at the ‘Underdogs of the Bible’ those who seemed to be the weaklings of society, such as David, Elijah and even the nation of Israel. We are learning how through God’s strength He used them in His plan to show His greatness. The students seem to love coming to JAM and always leave with a smile of their face!

It is so much fun. One staff member who loves to run the games said; 

JAM is a great opportunity to further the gospel message within the school. It’s encouraging to see so many kids coming and having fun, but also hearing more about who God is and how he works among his people.

JAM is just the beginning of where students are nurtured in their fath. Many of our Senior Students in Years 7-12 begin their journey at JAM and now attend the Christian groups there - (ie Revolution, Shine, The Armoury and Established).

If your child would like to check out JAM and they are in Years 4-6, they are more than than welcome. See Mr Bakarich in E Block for more details.
