Casual Clothes Day - Friday 10th July

Our student Senate leaders heard from Andy and Rachel Carden in recent Primary and Secondary assemblies, and would like to encourage our school to support the Carden family as they prepare to serve in the mission field.

Andy and Rachel Carden, with their children Imogen and Samuel, will, God willing, move to Vanuatu in the middle of 2026. After learning language and culture, they will serve in discipling and theological education at Talua Training Theological Institute on the island of Espiritu Santo.

Students are invited to wear casual clothes and bring a gold coin donation on the last day of term to support the Carden family and the Church Mission Society. If you would like to support the family individually, further information and resources can be found here:
