The Southport School Senior Handbook 2013 7 School Mission Statement ‘To challenge each boy to achieve excellence in a Christian community where education embraces the whole of life.’ School Vision The Southport School will be acknowledged as a world-class day and boarding school for boys, a balanced and holistic Christian learning community in the Anglican tradition, working with families to create outstanding young men who are confident, happy and responsible, with highly developed skills in the areas of leadership, thinking, creativity and emotional intelligence. Strategic Priorities Within the context of providing a safe, supportive and encouraging Christian environment, we will: 1. Maintain our strong academic ethos and further develop our learning enabling IT systems and Learning Management system ‘learning@tss’. 2. Create and implement a world-class Years 7 to 9 ‘Learning to Lead’ program aimed at developing our boys’ academic abilities, 21st century leadership skills and intelligent dispositions. This program will include positive psychology courses, thinking skills, Habits of Mind and the Chinese living, language and culture program. 3. Implement the recently developed and piloted Model of the Ideal TSS Teacher to invest in our staff and to continue to build TSS as a ‘learning organisation’ where all staff seek feedback, reflect on practice and are continually learning. 4. Maintain TSS as a school for Boarders, with a continued strong commitment to Country Boarding. 5. Construct the three stages of the Academic and Leadership Centres, including the Leadership Centre, Year 7 Transition Centre, Creative Visual Arts Centre, Lecture Theatre, staff facilities and learning spaces for Drama and Robotics.

We give thanks for the service of teachers and pupils; of domestic and clerical staff; of parents and friends; of Old Boys and the school council – may all continue to work for the common good. Make us a truly Christian community where education embraces the whole of life. Within the school may we find acceptance, healing, and growth through faith in Christ and, in turn, service to others. We ask this through Him who as a man taught by caring, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. School Hymn Here I am, Lord I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin My hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make the darkness bright. Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send? Refrain Here I am Lord, Is it I, Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go, Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. I, the Lord of snow and rain. I have borne My people’s pain. I have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone. Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak My word to them. Whom shall I send? Refrain I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will send the poor and lame, I will set a feast for them. My hand will save. Finest bread I will provide Till their hearts be satisfied, I will give My life to them. Whom shall I send? Refrain
