Honor One Another Above Yourselves
We are immensely grateful to be part of a school community that upholds and exemplifies the value of respect. It is one of our five core values. At Melton Christian College, respect guides our interactions and relationships. We believe that every individual deserves respect and should give respect.
Why do we emphasise respect? Because it stems from love, care, and the desire to honour one another. As Romans 12:10 reminds us, “Honor one another above yourselves.” While the concept of respect may not yet be fully understood by our younger students, they understand the importance of love and care. It is our collective responsibility to nurture and instil respect in our children, knowing that they often mirror the behaviour they observe in us.
Where do we witness respect in action? It’s in the warmth of our greetings, the use of manners, the calmness of our conversations, the practice of responding rather than reacting, and the attentive listening to others. These examples of respect are evident daily within our classrooms and throughout the school grounds, making a huge difference in our community.
As we continue encouraging our children to embody respect, let us lead by example, serving as positive role models within our community.
