  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

  • Prospectus We Focus on Developing the Whole Person – Intellectually, Physically, Socially, Emotionally and Dr Timothy Petterson Spiritually
    Shore Prospectus We focus on developing the whole person – intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally and Dr Timothy Petterson spiritually. The Headmaster Shore was established in 1889 as a leading comprehensive school for the education of boys. In 2003 we also welcomed girls to our Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 facility at the Northbridge Campus. Our rich history and traditions have powerfully shaped our School, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Reflecting Shore’s Christian foundations, we focus on developing the whole person – intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. We place a strong emphasis on character formation, challenging our students to be responsible citizens of integrity who seek to serve the wider community. Our commitment to a truly comprehensive education means we pursue engaged rigour in academic work, and also offer a wide range of learning experiences, both in and out of the classroom. We create a genuine partnership between the School and home, enabling each student to discover their individual talents and preparing them for the realities and challenges of our contemporary world. We believe the best evidence of success will be exhibited in the adult lives of those who have passed through the School. We are proud of our many Old Boys who have served in all walks of life with great dedication. I am delighted to extend an invitation to you to visit Shore and explore all that a Shore education has to offer. School motto Vitai Lampada Tradunt Dr Timothy Petterson Headmaster The motto from Lucretius, translates ‘They hand on the Torch of Life’.
