Who can we trust?
Why is there so much fine print?
What is the difference between “I mis-spoke” and “I lied”?
Who are we to believe when our institutions and their representatives care more about their profile than the people they say they serve?
We live in a time where it seems we can make and break promises with the convenience of a text message, an excuse, a meaningless media apology or a shrug of the shoulders. Instead of being taught to do all it takes to show up and keep our word, society seems to be willing to give us permission to keep open our options with the truth.
We seem to be accepting that guarantees we are given will mean nothing at all when things go wrong. In a world that allows for broken promises, how can we trust that the people around us are going to be committed to their word?
How many times will we be let down, short-changed or cheated before we lose our faith in humanity and society?
As a school there are some things we believe we can promise:
BUT
In fact, we will not promise to make your child’s education at St Columba easy; instead we promise that we will challenge them so that they grow in resilience, develop their talents, understand the value of hard work and realise what they are truly capable of.
That’s a promise!
