Exams Have Started
The young people who have been working so hard all year in their various courses to grasp with both hands the opportunity to fashion a future work life despite the disadvantages of their lives so far, are right now in the middle of the government exam period. Please encourage them in prayer just as you would your own children or grandchildren.
Support for Suzan
In recent years we have been keeping you informed of Principal Suzan's study. While maintaining her Principal role part time, supported by a Deputy Principal and an Operations Director, she has been studying to improve her qualifications. RYDA Board has been encouraging her to do that, partly because the national government is pressing for better qualified leaders across schools.
Suzan is in her third and final year of study for a Master of Divinity and has been an excellent student, earning 75% or better in every subject in every semester. This is her second Masters degree. Her first was in Project Planning and Management. Her expanding knowledge, skills and networking is already bringing additional value to RYDA. That will continue.

A Master of Divinity is a postgraduate qualification in theology which prepares students for ordination to the ministry. On December 15th Suzan takes the next step on that path when she will be ordained as a Reverend Deacon in the church of Uganda, which is of the Anglican tradition.
A month ago we sent an email to you all inviting you to help with the cost of the religious garments which Suzan must purchase as part of the ordination process. The total cost is just under AUD1000 and through the generous support of many people, especially from St. Margaret's we were able to contribute AUD555. A wonderful response. Thank you.
