Norwest Christian College partners with The Commonwealth at 75 Project

We are proud to announce that Norwest Christian College has been selected as an editorial partner of The Commonwealth at 75 , a commemorative publication produced by The History of Parliament and St James ’ s House .
The History of Parliament Trust – one of the most ambitious and authoritative academic projects in British history – is delighted to announce a new publication entitled The Commonwealth at 75 .
This beautifully presented hardback book is produced in partnership with leading publisher St James ’ s House and
is written by a team of academics and award-winning authors .
Exploring the origins , history , and impact of the Commonwealth , the fully illustrated publication celebrates the 75th anniversary of the family of nations and the ideas , individuals and organisations who have contributed to its success .
It is scheduled to be launched at Westminster Abbey in November 2024 .
The book also marks the appointment of King Charles III as the Head of the Commonwealth and features the writing of renowned royal authors Robert Jobson and Katie Nicholl , alongside the images of veteran royal photographer , Arthur Edwards .
Richard Freed , founder of St James ’ s House , said : “ We ’ re delighted to be launching this prestigious publication , which pays tribute to the Commonwealth and its member states . The 75th anniversary offers the perfect opportunity to reflect on its past , present and future .”
We are so excited for the opportunity to
share our unique learning framework , known as Building Purposeful Lives ( BPL ) with a worldwide audience . Modelled on the research and expertise of Dr Guy Claxton , our BPL framework is for all of life . At Norwest we are growing our students to be capable , confident , and compassionate life-long learners , who are bold enough to step into all that God has planned for them .
We take a dual approach to the learning experience , that is , our focus is on delivering content simultaneous to building learning disposition . Typically , schools focus on learning achievement as the end point , but our focus is on growing the capacity for each student to learn and developing a culture of learning that supports and energises each student . The end point for us is not the final year of schooling but on developing the skills and the capacity so that they can confidently
step into each chapter of their life . Norwest Christian College has been collaborating with the team of academics and authors to create an account of how we have contributed to innovative education in the Commonwealth . It is a great honour to be chosen to be part of this project and to be acknowledged in the 75th anniversary celebration of the Commonwealth .
