| Summary: | As we consider the aspirations we have and the particular contribution that schools in the Christian tradition can make for our students, we must have a vision for promoting discipleship that will at the same time serve our culture by working towards its transformation.

It draws attention to the implications for curriculum, staffing and the school's relationship with the wider community. |
