“It’s a wonderful example of how faith, service, and sustainability intersect.” Locally, JSR’s strongest partnerships are with parents and trusted suppliers. Families are seen as co-educators, deeply engaged in their children’s progress, while the school builds long-term relationships with operational partners—from grounds and maintenance to technology—based on mutual trust. “Education is about relationships,” says Bartell.“That includes the people who help us make this place run.” CULTURE, STRATEGY, AND THE ROAD AHEAD The coming two years will see JSR consolidate what Bartell calls its “reculturing” phase—a process of unifying teams, refining leadership capacity, and reinforcing positive, collaborative norms following the school’s campus consolidation. An on-site leadership coach works directly with middle and senior leaders, helping them navigate the balance between vision, accountability, and care. “Middle management in schools is one of the toughest jobs there is,” Bartell notes. “They lead people while being led themselves, and we’re investing in their growth.” From a student lens, the focus is on academic stretch and extension—enhancing gifted and talented programs—while continuing to develop a balanced, values-based technology policy aligned with national changes. 57 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 11 JOHN SEPTIMUS ROE ANGLICAN COMMUNITY SCHOOL
