Good morning,

Apologies for the double up in the Principals comment yesterday. We are not quite sure how this happened. The correction is below.

 

Dear Parents / Caregivers,
I consider it a privilege to be back in the seat as principal of this very special school. 
Having had time away to learn from others, reflect on life in general, and spend time with
family was an absolute blessing - thank you all.
During my time away, I came to the conclusion that: 
We all need a purpose to get up in the morning & We need to belong somewhere. 
Coming back this term, confirmed for me that Waipa Christian School, and Te Awamutu is
undoubtedly where God wants me and my family to be in this season. I am grateful for the
opportunity to lead His school, and serve this community in order to glorify Him in all I do -
my place of purpose and belonging.

Stepping up
I want to sincerely thank Mr Popping (acting principal), and the staff who kept things ticking
over in my absence. It was great to know that the school is in very capable hands.
Finally, I want to acknowledge our wonderful Board of Trustees who work tirelessly behind
the scenes to help me steer this ship. Thank you, for entrusting me with the day-to-day
running of the school, and allowing me to have a time of rest.


Sabbatical project
During my time away, I managed to visit 8 other schools and had numerous conversations
with leaders in a range of industries. Visiting other Christian Schools in South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand confirmed for me that our vision ‘to know, love, and serve Jesus
Christ’ is certainly a common theme in all these schools, even if it is articulated in different
ways. What God has inspired for Waipa Christian School is in line with His will for Christian
Education worldwide - of that I am now more convinced than ever.
Please continue to keep the school and our community in your prayers this term, as we seek
to grow in our knowledge of Jesus Christ, transform hearts, and serve those around us.


Blessings,
Jaco Labuschagne
Principal
