Today, the first of four groups, embarked on Odyssey – a 21 day journey that is undoubtedly going to be a life-changing experience. Headmaster, Shane Kidwell quoted the Talmud as he addressed the Van Straten Group before wishing them well on their adventure.
“Be yourself – But be your best self. Dare to be different and follow your own star. And don’t be afraid to be happy. Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul. Believe that those you love love you. Forget what you have done for your friends and remember what they have done for you. Disregard what the world owes you, and concentrate on what you owe the world. When you are faced with a decision, make the decision as wisely as possible – then forget it. The moment of absolute certainty never arrives. And above all, remember the God helps those who help themselves. Act as if everything depended upon you, and pray as if everything depended upon God.”
