CHURCHIE

Churchie is a Christian school, founded upon the Anglican ethos, within the Anglican Church of Australia... Churchie's mission is ‘the making of men', which aims to nurture and inspire men of character who will lead and serve in communities across the world for the common good... An investigation of Canon Morris' writing, notably his memoir Sons of Magnus, reveals no instance of ‘the making of men' as a phrase, although it is very clear what Morris understood to be the vital mission of education in a church-founded boys school. Morris wrote of the need for faith, courage and integrity. He wrote, ‘We are a church school, so chapel and parish, bible and prayers must be part of our practice and our lives. We are founded for learning, and that can only come with hard work, so slacking, shirking and cribbing must be cut right out. We are to be strong and leaders of our nation, so hardship and pain and poverty must be courageously borne … be honourable, of course, and don't be..
