During our pastoral care times Junior School students have been gaining knowledge of learning behaviours to grow and develop their character. Kindness has been one of the dispositions. The bible implores us to show kindness to one another. I’m particularly drawn to this verse in Ephesians 4:32 which states “be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you”. It is a good verse to memorise; to have close to your heart.
It’s hard to be kind when we feel hurt or rejected. It’s hard to be kind when we feel life is unfair. As a Junior School we have the common goal of explicitly teaching biblical truths in our pastoral care lessons and in daily devotions. It is our collective prayer we can be known as a College where students display kindness in their interactions with one another.
