Farewell and Thank You to Faithful Servants on our Board

This term we farewell three remarkable women from our Board, including our Chair, Ange Smith and Vice Chair, Greta Dench and Christine Earnest, who have faithfully served our college community over many years. Each has given generously of her time, wisdom, and heart to help nurture and guide this school we hold so dear.

As a parent-governed college, Plenty Valley Christian College was founded by families committed to providing a Christ-centred education grounded in a biblical worldview. Strong and faithful leadership has always been key to this college's foundation. These women have upheld that vision with integrity and grace, ensuring that our college remains a place where children are taught in partnership with the values shared at home.

In this season of change, they have also played an invaluable role in welcoming and supporting our new Executive Principal Natasha Mackinnon. Their dedication to a smooth and thoughtful transition has been a great blessing, and we are grateful for the unity and care shown during this time.

We extend our heartfelt thanks for their faithful service and leadership. We pray God’s richest blessings upon each of them as they step into their next chapter, trusting His guidance and provision in all that lies ahead.

1 Peter 5:2-3 "Be shepherd's of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them- not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."
