Chaplain's Remarks

Chaplain_Remarks_Tobi.jpg
Dear Parents and caregivers, 
Last week at PPN we celebrated our Week of Worship (WoW). Every morning our students congregated in the church to praise and worship. Students sang songs, participated in games, and quizzes and listened to our guest speaker Pr Tim share all about how to let your light shine for Jesus.

I want to take this time to give a massive thank you to everyone involved, we had a lot of help from staff and from students. In particular, our student chaplains. Our student chaplains were given a copy of the whole week's program on the Friday before WoW. And to my surprise, all the student chaplains came well prepared for all their roles by Monday. Each of them displayed a high level of responsibility and initiative, requiring minimal assistance in preparing for their parts to play during WoW. Some of these roles included welcoming all the students to WoW, preparing and leading an acknowledgement of country, running a quiz or an ice-breaker and finally introducing our guest speaker Pr Tim. Pr Tim shared how our students could let their light shine for Jesus using examples from the bible and linking them to real world examples as analogies for our students to understand. Some of my favourites were about Tommy Eddison, Louis Braille and Iqbal Masih.

Pr Tim shared with our team that he really loved the environment that the students provided, saying that they're all very engaged and passionate. He shared that it was so refreshing to see staff members so genuinely happy and really enjoying the work they do, with a God centered approach. The entire week was such a blessing. Including our finale on Friday night when we invited all of the students and their parents to our final WoW program complete with soup and buns. Finally a massive thank you to all the parents that joined us on Friday evening. You made a spectacular end to our amazing week and we really hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Many thanks to our entire community here at PPN, God’s blessings are truly abundant in this place.
