Harmony Day!

We held a wonderful Harmony Day celebration with our College community. We came together to celebrate our cultural diversity and the uniqueness of our beautiful WCC family.

Easter Service

We came together to share the Easter Service as we journeyed from the time Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the resurrection. We heard of the sacrifice Jesus made and the everlasting love He has for us all.

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

We are fortunate to be able to experience diversity within our school community. The uniqueness of an inclusive school community provides an opportunity for individuals to grow and develop in many ways. A strong focus which WCC advocates is a commitment to accept, care, embrace, understand and celebrate the difference in which we all bring to our community.

What does it mean to be part of a community, and be tolerant and patient? When I observe the children and their transition to school; so many integral factors influence their interaction. We encourage patience and tolerance to accept individual differences. We support children to become responsible for their interaction and these characteristics are key components of a community forming.

What I have to noticed is that we are all in hurry and that patience is not readily accessible, and as this patience diminishes, judgement appears. I understand that our patience is directly linked to how much time we have stop and process an event. I applaud the adults that do this so beautifully when they collect their children from school. They take the time to question and discuss events of the day that relate to their child. The parents respond patiently when their child is a little confused and support their child’s needs. They take the time to discuss an event and guide their children through a process of showing empathy and understanding.

It is very easy to have an opinion and however, not have a thorough understanding. This is crucial in how children interact with each other. As adults, it is our role to guide the children through this process of personal growth, but to also develop their interpersonal skills.

It is also our responsibility, to ensure we do not blur or prejudice our children’s perceptions of our immediate and wider community. Discussions concerning our strengths and weaknesses help to provide the children with an opportunity to identify their own needs and their peers’ contributions.

All the WCC students and staff make a valuable contribution to our school community. It is evident during our assembly and chapel sessions, how the students' participation has assisted to establish a diverse, yet united community. A true blessing!

The world is not a play-ground; it is a school-room. Life is not a holiday, but an education. And the one eternal lesson for us all is how better we can love.
