Biblical WorldView
Our commitment and responsibility to our learners at Vastfontein Batho Pele Christian School is to provide career focused education that is grounded in sound Biblical Principles and a Christ-Centred view. We believe that Truth is a person, Jesus Christ and that the guidelines for truth are found in the Holy Bible. We believe each learner has God-given potential and it is our mission to discover each oneās unique potential and then assist them in realising that potential. Our aim is to help each learner discover Godās dream for their future and then help them to realise that dream. Our country needs Godly leaders, and we aspire to live out an example of servant leadership and help develop strong, Godly leaders in our school.
We donāt just teach Bible classes but aim to bring biblical truths into each subject we teach and by this instil biblical worldviews into the learners and also equip them to be good ambassadors and apologist of Christianity.
We believe in working in partnership with our parents and would like to involve parents in the development and education of their children in as many ways possible. We would like our parents to understand our Values and work with us in living out Respect, Excellence, Stewardship and Truth in the home as we also strive to instil it in the learners and live it out faithfully as staff of Vastfontein Batho Pele Christian School.
As Christian educators, we live out a calling, committed not only to educate our learners but to teach them how to discern Godās voice as the best Guide to all lifeās decisions. We strive to help our learners make Godly choices, Build Christlike character and understand biblical instructions especially regarding submission to authority and love and respect of themselves, others and the environment. As we apply discipline we always walk in love and focus on the truth in Galatians 5:6 which says āNothing else counts, but faith expressing itself in loveā.
