Careers Education

The choice of career, next to the choice of spouse, is arguably the most important decision a young person must make which pertains to this life. Careers education provides the important link between the curriculum of eleven to thirteen years of education with what the student does beyond school. Hence the school’s mission statement: From a Biblical foundation to prepare young people for the world in which they must live, work and continue to learn; the LORD willing.

Each year speakers are invited to school, the older students visit 2-3 careers expos during the year, including a full day in Wellington and there are sometimes “hands on” opportunities, as pictured at top left. Careers education is also incorporated into the social studies curriculum of Y6-8 and Y9&10 classes, and links to computing, electronics, aviation, and technology classes.

It is our hope and prayer that all students will leave this school prepared spiritually and academically for the challenges that lie ahead, and that they will be able to make a positive contribution to society. Above all, we hope and pray that all young men and women will be empowered by God to be image bearers of Christ’s character, whether as a potential office bearer in His Church, or a mother in the home, or in whatever way the Lord may lead in a future career. May the Lord bless the means He has provided to the next generations of His Kingdom!
