MUSTARD SCHOOL
PROGRAMS
Our School Programs help start conversations about Jesus and the big questions of life through creative, well-researched and emotionally connected workshops and chapel services.
Our unique approach highlights the voices of Christian students who can powerfully impact their peers in a relevant way.
These topics can be adapted as a chapel service, an extended interactive workshop, or retreat day.
NEW PROGRAMS FOR 2025...
PURPOSE & POTENTIAL
Who am I? What will I do with my life? How do I make wise decisions? These are big questions that every human grapples with, but they’re especially vital during the transformative teenage years.
In this program, students will explore their God-given strengths and passions, reflect on their core values, and discover how to craft a personal vision that inspires purpose and direction.
VALLEYS
There isn’t a day where we are not faced with the reality of suffering – either on a global scale or personally.
This program provides space for students to ask questions and consider the “valleys of shadow and death” through the lens of faith and God. Valleys will invite students to explore ways to live with resilience and hope in this broken world.
LEADERSHIP
TRAINING
A comprehensive leadership training program for student leaders based on the latest research, compelling anecdotes, and value-based curriculum.
Students of any stage will be given the tools to grow their leadership skills and to set goals that can be applied to the role they find themselves in.
OTHER TOPICS WE COVER
MEASURING UP
In a demanding world, the expectations of family, friends, school and social media can leave young people wondering whether they measure up. Measuring Up explores the impact comparison can have, what positive self-worth is and how young people can find their individual value.
UNCOMMON COMMUNITIES
In a world that focuses on individualism, Uncommon Communities explores the importance of relationships and belonging. Students will be challenged to love those who are different and consider how to see the intrinsic value in each person.
CLIMATE ADVOCACY
Many teenagers today are passionate advocates for the environment. Climate Advocacy explores the issue of Biblically-based stewardship and sustainability.
Students will be challenged to consider how they have developed their world-view on this issue and empowered to consider the role they can play in contributing to a sustainable future.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY
Mustard has connections with a number of Christian not-for-profits and helps to facilitate activities such as cooking for food banks and making gifts for the marginalised.
During these sessions, we explore the history of human rights and the motivation for Christians to serve the underprivileged.
GRATITUDE
This program explores the positive impact adopting an attitude of gratitude can make on a person’s life.
Students will learn the power of gratitude, the scientific benefits of gratitude and how the biblical concept of gratitude can be transformational.
SCIENCE & FAITH
This program explores how faith in God and knowledge of science can complement each other. Students will be invited to embrace the possibility that science is a mechanism for exploring how God’s creation works, rather than it being mutually exclusive to faith.
This program can be presented in partnership with ISCAST, who can provide a Christian scientist to speak whilst Mustard provides interactive activities and application.
LEGO & LIFE
Using LEGO as a powerful metaphor, this presentation explores how we're each uniquely created with purpose, just like individual LEGO pieces. Through interactive building challenges and some healthy competition, students will discover the importance of building life on a strong foundation while learning how their individual stories contribute to God's bigger picture.
AMAZING
GRACE
Amazing Grace looks at the origins of the famous hymn and explores why ‘grace’ is something that everyone needs. Students will be encouraged to consider the power of giving and receiving God’s amazing grace.

God’s Big Story – an overview of the whole Bible
"It was great having Mustard run Chapel services for our school. Coming up with something that is going to present the Gospel and be engaging every week can be tough.
The boys really enjoyed learning about the theme of God’s grace. They were challenged and inspired to be people who show grace to those around them and to consider the grace that Jesus offers."
- Rev'd James Hale, Chaplain
