the word of God. Accordingly, the modelling of an authentic Christian life is a core requirement of the

position, reflecting the foundational contribution the position makes to the maintenance of the

religious ethos of the school.

With a mutual commitment to God through Jesus Christ, staff members ought to serve and love one
