‘Oh Lord, Bless our school that working together and playing together we may learn to serve you and serve one another’
At the heart of our learning community are the following Gospel values:
LOVE
RESPECT
FORGIVENESS
HONESTY
FRIENDSHIP
Our school is built around the Catholic Life of the school. We believe that every individual is unique and made in God’s own image. We accept the trust the parents and carers have placed in putting their children into our care, as a privilege. Therefore everything we do at school is aimed at developing each child to his or her full spiritual, academic and social potential.
‘I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, Plans to give you hope and a future.’
Jeremiah 29:11
This video was made in 2021 and was part of our Mission Statement refresh. It highlights how the children in school Work, Play and Serve – as well as how they live out the school’s 5 key Gospel values of Love, Friendship, Honesty, Respect and Forgiveness.
The Blue Umbrella was a video made following our Induction Days at the end of the school year 2017/18 based on the Disney Pixar film of the same name – the video is focused around the theme of Work, Play, Serve – the 3 key elements of our Mission Statement.
