Principal’s Message
Welcome to a new school year at the Providence Christian School.
School is a place of learning, a place where you gain knowledge and insight and where you develop skills and attitudes that will be important to you for a lifetime.
School is also a place of interactions and relationships. You have been created for community and fellowship. This is what family and church are about, and the school similarly challenges you to live in the community in a wholesome and godly manner.
You can do this because you have been given much.
Not many children and youths your age in the world have the accumulation of benefits and blessings that you enjoy. Freedom and the opportunity to attend a Christian school is a rare gift today that many wish for but do not have. You are particularly favoured by the Provident care of your Creator. There is much reason for gratitude. “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High.” Psalm 92.
We encourage you to use your time and opportunities this year in God’s service, as a work of gratitude to Him who loves and blesses you.
This handbook has been developed to help you and your parents to know about school policies, procedures and schedules that can help you enjoy good relationships and do well in your work.
God places us in a community of travelers who journey together toward the city that is built on a hill; the city of God. In our travels we need each other for learning and support, for growth, encouragement, and correction. I pray that our greatest allegiance and dedication this year will be to our Master in whose footsteps we walk.
Mr. VanderHoek, August 2023.
