Service program. Specifically, the Director of Christian Service is responsible
for the active service component of the school’s program; the class-time
component of the school’s curriculum; organizing/running the school’s optional
service trips; participating in the culture of the school; other
responsibilities as directed by the principal. A more detailed description can
