What does this mean for us?

We believe that God loves all that he has created. Each individual is equally valuable and uniquely creative, with a variety of gifts and talents to be nurtured. We are committed to providing opportunities and support for every member of a school community to flourish, learn and grow.

For this to happen there needs to be a deep rooted culture of love for God and others. We strive to foster this culture throughout all our actions and interactions as a school community.

We are all responsible for our personal growth, but we will encourage and support one another to achieve success hard work and commitment, even when we find things difficult. As a community we are always ready to learn, especially from our mistakes.
