Faith Basis of Appointment
We see the appointment of staff to Trinity Christian School as a ministry calling.
The ethos, aims and objects of a Christian School are based on:
> acceptance of the Lordship of Christ; and
> acceptance of the Bible as the revealed Word of God.
Within Trinity Christian School these are expounded in the Doctrinal Basis.
The Doctrinal Basis does not exhaust the extent of the beliefs of the School and its members.
The Bible
itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality,
and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that the School and its members
believe.
You must support the School in these areas and set an example of personal conduct and behaviour
consistent with the School's beliefs and ethos as outlined in documents made available to prospective
employees prior to interview.
Any appointment is conditional upon staff maintaining and demonstrating a
continuing firm personal belief and lifestyle consistent with the School's Doctrinal Basis and the other
documents provided to staff, this being an essential condition of the appointment.
A Learning Centred Christian School
At Trinity Christian School we endeavour to make the link between our faith, what we do and how we
teach.
We call our students and school community to grow "loving hearts, enquiring minds and generous
spirits".
At Trinity, how we teach must help our students in becoming who they were created to be in
Christ.
How we teach should also bring a Kingdom perspective, set students' minds on things above, deliver
meaning and show purpose.
The pedagogy in our classrooms at Trinity should engage enquiring minds, build questioning, allow for
grappling, exploring and reasoning.
The students we teach should be given opportunities to grow and
serve, so they may see who they are becoming and their purpose.
