Just Three Words

A common question that comes up about Christianity for students and adults alike is, “How can you believe in something you cannot see?” There are, of course, many things to consider, but my mind often goes to one of the most striking things Jesus himself said, as recorded by the eyewitnesses who documented his life:

The Finish Line is in Sight

As we head into the final moments of term, there is a noticeable shift across the school. The energy changes.

The end of a term is a little like

Screens, Soft Skills and Raising Children for the Future

Technology is an important part of our children’s world. Laptops, iPads and phones provide incredible opportunities to learn, create and communicate. However, while digital skills are essential, research suggests that the qualities which help children truly flourish are often the “soft skills” that cannot be developed through a screen alone. Dr Brené Brown reminds us

More Than an Open Day 

There are not many school events where you can watch a rocket launch, enjoy live music, witness student cooking and still make it back in time for a classroom tour. There was a wonderful energy across the campus at this year’s Open Day. From the moment families arrived, the school was alive with conversation, laughter,

When History is Closer than We Think

This week, we remember National Sorry Day and move into National Reconciliation Week, an important opportunity to pause, reflect, listen, and consider our role in reconciliation within Australia. For many of us on the Sunshine Coast, it can be easy to feel somewhat removed from these conversations. Indigenous Australians may not be part of our

The Gift of School Friendships – And How We Can Help Them Last

I have the privilege of watching something quite remarkable unfold each day. Beyond the lessons, assessments and achievements, I see friendships forming – sometimes quietly, sometimes energetically – but always meaningfully. Occasionally, I also see the early stages of what appears to be a “lifelong alliance” formed over a shared love of hot chips at

World Affairs in the Middle School Classroom at Glasshouse Christian College

If we only look inward to our families, our local community, school, shops, and screens, it’s easy to miss the stories, struggles, and movements shaping the wider world. In an age where social media often curates what we see, feeding us familiar voices and reinforcing existing viewpoints, our children need encouragement and guidance to think

Nourishing What Lasts

Grapes, Pringles, a sandwich (cut just the right way), a yoghurt tube, maybe a frozen juice box. And if you’re feeling particularly organised, a little treat tucked into the corner. Sound familiar? For many, packing lunch is part of the morning routine. You’re not just throwing food into a box; you’re thinking ahead. Will it
