The third Term at Kennedy Baptist College has started with two assemblies to commend our students on their academic efforts and results, with a Year 10-12 gathering in Week 1 and a Year 7-9 celebration in the following week.
Certificates of Excellence and Achievement were given out at both assemblies, with the latter highlighting the outstanding results of students in multiple classes. Some students even earned as high as 10 ‘A Grades’ in their subjects! By commemorating the success of our students, we aim to encourage them to continue to believe and persevere, especially as we get closer to the end of the year than the start of it.
This need for belief and endurance was reinforced by the message from our Principal, Mr Mark Ashby. Mr Ashby introduced students to the story of Olympian Eric Liddell, who endured criticism when he refused to run on a Sunday due to his religious beliefs, and yet overcame the odds to win the 400 metre event later in the week. Immortalised by both his personal conviction and by the film, ‘Chariots of Fire, Liddell is a great representative of the rewards of perseverance.
As we turn to the rest of this Term and Semester, we are excited to see where the hard work of our students takes them.
