Christian Schools Blogsite Discussion

Newington College is a Uniting Church school in Sydney Australia. They have generated considerable media coverage lately with the release of a cinema advertisement. In Sydney using cinema advertising is considered unusual for a school.

The cinema advert being only a minute long can't cover a lot and is designed to generate interest - not tell a whole story. Though it was interesting there is no mention of the school's Christianity.

However on their school website they also have a YouTube video by the Principal. In this the first statement is "Newington is a Uniting Church school". Later in the video it mentions the "spiritual dimension based on a multi-faith, multi-cultural community". It then mentions the "Uniting Church ethos". Not sure if it was a deliberate decision but the word "Christian" wasn't used anywhere.
