With all this going on, we have just launched our final chapters of their Christian Education journey. With our Year 12s in mind, we allow them to ask questions. These are questions that we all might be pondering on, but are not always sure where to go to ask. The Christian Education Forum is running over two weeks. This is a space for students to ask If, or How, faith in God, the Bible, or Jesus relates to our lives. Submitted questions will be presented to a panel, with both staff and guest speakers. We can never fully answer some deeper questions, but airing thoughts can start a journey to resolving some internal conflict within us all. I would like to share a few of the 74 thoughtful questions our current students have asked, so you can also enjoy the confidence we have in the quality of people our college is producing.
Our Kennedy community is vibrant and diverse, with over 1,200 students, 200 staff members, and 2,000 immediate family members, each of us on our own unique journey.
Our Year 12s find themselves at a crossroads between childhood and adulthood. They are navigating new freedoms like getting their driver’s licences, voting, and having the opportunity to access new spaces, all while still balancing the need to follow the rhythms of a school day alongside younger peers. It’s an exciting and transformative time for our young adult students.

- Why would a loving God choose to create things that cause such pain?
- Why are some Christians bad?
- Is there only one way to reach God, and if so, why?
- What does the bible say about dinosaurs?
- Is taking someone else’s life always wrong? e.g, mercy killings, self-defence.
- How does praying help?
Many in our community may have questions and not know where to ask them. If that’s you or someone in your family, please reach out to me through SEQTA, email, or in person, as I would love to help find answers or support you on your unique journey.
