The
mission statement of the School is:
Richmond
View School is a school that integrates all teaching and
learning with the principles of the Bible as the inspired Word
of God having absolute authority in all aspects of life.
It
is a ministry designed to assist parents in their God- given
task to bring up their children in the "training and
admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians
6:4) so that they may, "love
the Lord their God with all their heart, and with all their
soul, and with all their mind and with all their strength."
(Deuteronomy 6:5)
As
such the school is a ministry to all parents in the Christian
community who desire Christian education for their children.
The Proprietor must be satisfied that the parents are committed
to a local Christian fellowship for preferential status to
apply.
Everything
the school does comes from a Christian perspective. These
include:
The
way the staff view their pupils
The
curriculum
The
character of the staff
The
character of the children
Discipline
Relationships
between staff and children
Relationships
between children
Relationships
between school and home
Behaviour
in the playground
Governance
by the Board of Trustees
The
whole concepts of love, forgiveness and acceptance run right
through the activities of the school, and we have a focus on
respect
This
sets an atmosphere of openness, honesty and caring; and leads
to a positive social and educational environment.
The
Bible is held up throughout the school as the Word of God, the
divine revelation of God to mankind, and as such "is given
by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that
the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every
good work" (2 Tim 3 v 16-17)
The
children are encouraged to develop a real relationship with the
Lord. They are prayed for, and are encouraged to pray;
and these are taken as a normal part of the Christian
lifestyle.
Our
overall catch phrase: Educating
for Eternity, is a good
description of our intent.
