The following graph highlights the minimum reading standard for Grade 2 from 2015 to 2022.
Minumun Reading Standard
Grade 2: 2015-2022
From 2015, a rapid decline in the reading standards occurred resulting in just over 45% of Grade 2 students, in 2019, achieving minimum reading standards. The changes made to learning & teaching, implemented from 2019, are certainly paying off. Not even lockdowns due to COVID have prevented us from improving the reading standards for our students since this time. This highlights the effort and determination of leadership and Resurrection staff to ensure that our students excel in their learning. Congratulations to our current Grade 2 students and all staff who have ensured we are making a positive difference to the skills and abilities of our students. Knowing that we are well on our way to achieving even better results for next year is an incentive for all of us to do better.

Student Leadership
On Friday 25th November, we saw the last of the speeches from candidates in Grades 4 and 5 who put themselves forward for student leadership in 2023.
The final six roles were for Social Justice, Faith and Life and Sustainability and Environment leaders, where we will see one Grade 5 and one Grade 6 student lead each of the three areas next year.
A massive 42 students delivered some fantastic speeches and shared some great examples and qualities that make them an effective leader. It was inspiring to see a number of students who were unsuccessful in obtaining a House Captain role come back to try again. This shows a great deal of bravery and resilience, which these students are commended for.
Once all students had presented their speech, everyone had a chance to vote for their preferred candidate from both Grade 4 and 5 for each role using the preferential voting system.
We are pleased to announce the following students who have been appointed the leaders for each of the following roles in 2023:
Social Justice
Christopher T
Ajak M
Faith and Life
Adrienne D
Vivienne N
Sustainability and Environment:
Daniel Y
Nyakir J
The announcement of the new student leadership appointments marks the last of this process for the year.
Congratulations to all of our candidates who committed their time and effort in working through the application process. We are so proud to have such brave, confident and resilient learners here at Resurrection and we know that all of our senior school students will demonstrate leadership regardless of whether they receive a badge or not.
We look forward to presenting all of the student leaders with their badges on Friday 16th December.
LEADERSHIP: Leadership is action, not position.

This Weekend’s Gospel
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 11:2-11
Are you the one who is to come, or must we wait for someone else?
John in his prison had heard what Christ was doing and he sent his disciples to ask him, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or have we got to wait for someone else?’ Jesus answered, ‘Go back and tell John what you hear and see; the blind see again, and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised to life and the Good News is proclaimed to the poor; and happy is the man who does not lose faith in me.’
As the messengers were leaving, Jesus began to talk to the people about John:
‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the breeze? No? Then what did you go out to see? A man wearing fine clothes? Oh no, those who wear fine clothes are to be found in palaces. Then what did you go out for? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet: he is the one of whom scripture says: Look, I am going to send my messenger before you; he will prepare your way before you. I tell you solemnly, of all the children born of women, a greater than John the Baptist has never been seen; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.’
Why would John the Baptist send messengers to question Jesus? We recall from last week’s gospel passage that John had a somewhat ‘fire and brimstone’ perception of what Jesus would be like. Perhaps as he sat in his prison cell John began to wonder whether Jesus was indeed the Messiah that John believed him to be. Perhaps the question was not for himself but rather for his disciples that he sent to Jesus. Given the answer that Jesus provided them, perhaps John’s intention was for the disciples to recognise that Jesus was in fact the one that John had proclaimed and that the disciples should switch their allegiance to Jesus. John probably guessed that he would not be leaving that prison alive and may have been leading his disciples to the next step in their discipleship by having them go and scrutinise Jesus.
The indirect answer that Jesus provides to the query would have not sounded like such a roundabout response as it does to us.
The picture Jesus describes of the blind seeing, the lame walking, lepers cleansed, and the deaf hearing would have been very familiar to those who were listening and the first audience of this gospel.
These were signs of the coming of the Messiah that had been foretold by the prophets. In his answer, Jesus effectively says, ‘Well, all the things that are supposed to happen when the Messiah comes are happening now with me. There’s your answer!’
The reading continues to build on the Advent themes of anticipation, preparedness and hope. As we draw closer to the celebration of the Nativity, in this reading is confirmation that our hope is not misplaced. Today’s readings emphasise the joy that lies in the anticipation and expectation of what is coming.
Historical Context – Least and Greatest
Jesus declares that the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater even than John whom he has just finishing praising as greatest of all men. It is an indication that in the kingdom, things are not as they are on earth. The blind, lame, deaf, poor and lepers that Jesus named earlier would have been seen as the very lowest of society. Their afflictions were seen as punishments from God and so it was assumed that they, or their parents, had done something to deserve this punishment. Jesus rejects this interpretation and shows these people to be the most open to responding to his message.
Scriptural context – John the Baptist
Jesus is not recorded as asking the messengers about John’s wellbeing. He doesn’t appear to express any concern about John’s imprisonment. Yet Jesus must have felt this situation very deeply. John the Baptist and Jesus were related; they were cousins. The depth of his feeling is reflected when Jesus speaks so positively and powerfully about John. It reads almost as a eulogy that might be given at a funeral; praising the greatness of the deceased. Yet regardless of John’s greatness, Jesus assures his audience that even the least in the kingdom is greater than John.
Living the Gospel – Gaudete!
The third Sunday of Advent was traditionally known as Gaudete Sunday. The word, gaudete, (pronounced gow-day-tay) is from Latin and means Rejoice! The name was given to this Sunday because the entrance antiphon for the day is: ‘Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice! The Lord is near.’ When Advent was observed as a more penitential season, this third Sunday was a break from the sombre mood and was more celebratory. The rose-coloured candle in the Advent wreath and rose-coloured vestments convey a mood of joy and celebration.
