At the moment, the  children are learning about God – Te Atua .

Throughout the school, in the God Strand, we are learning 

• That God is holy and the source of all life and all grace and all holiness.
• That people are created in the image and likeness of God and are called to believe in God.

The strand focuses on developing a greater relationship with God through our head knowledge and our heart and soul experiences.

The children are given many opportunities in their learning to develop the above, not just in this strand but throughout their school day.

Below are scripture quotes for you to think and reflect on your relationship with God.
