Carpark Reminder
We are fortunate to partner with Overflow Church each morning and afternoon to gain access to additional parking and to facilitate our school car line for families. This notice is a reminder that no cars are to pull over and wait or park directly in front of the church or along the fence of the gymnastics centre to ensure the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles moving through this space.
Please see area on the image below. For full Carpark map and procedures visit the Car Park Procedures page.
Boys: Building Strong Young Men From the Inside Out
He’s disappearing. Behind the closed door, lost in screens, making choices that keep you up at night. He’s navigating a world designed to confuse him – algorithms designed to addict him – a world parents don’t understand and can’t break into. The headlines scream crisis. They warn us that boys are in deep trouble… and it’s getting worse.
But it doesn’t have to be like this.
Dr Justin Coulson has a different story to tell. In Boys, Coulson reveals what decades of research suggests: when boys get what they actually need, they thrive. Not through force or fixing, but through connection, meaningful challenge, and someone who refuses to give up on them.
