From our Head of School

Naming this magazine, Inspired, was a risk. The etymology of the word, first points to the Latin term inspirare and then on to the Greek and Biblical term pnein, both of which mean to be filled with the breath of or moved by the Divine.

Yet, when you read what comes next, you will realise it is a risk worth taking. St Andrew’s is no ordinary school; it is an inspired school.

In the truest sense of the word, it is a school that is filled with and moved by the spirit of God.

We call it ‘the SACS spirit’. It is the feeling in the School that you cannot articulate. It is the binding force that grows our community, that lifts our heads up, that fills us with joy, that moves our creativity and that makes the education that occurs immeasurable.

In this issue of Inspired, all of that is on display; whether it is providing growth opportunities for girls in rugby or for Junior School students in this year’s major production of the Pinocchio musical; and the way in which our students are able to develop their learning skills through our Visible Literacy programme; and much more!
