Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate
Word from the Principal

As we conclude the term, we can all look back and remember, with thanks to God, the efforts of others who have encouraged, led, taught, coached, tutored and prayed for us, as we have learnt and grown in what has been a wonderful summer term.  While naturally we might be weary, we can remind ourselves that each loving effort of every parent and every staff member, has an eternal purpose.

It is true, that we exist for God’s purposes  - and the purpose of our Bethlehem College community is to bring honour and glory to God.  My thanks to all families who have helped other families to belong and contribute more fully to God’s purposes within the College this term.

Among the many highlights of the term, can I thank all those who contributed to the formal, elegant occasion that was the 2024 Senior Ball.  It is always a great delight to witness the maturity of students alongside staff, as they together create and enjoy such a wonderful atmosphere. 

Enjoy the break with friends and loved ones!

Ma te Atua tātou e manaaki – God bless
