Work together; Succeed together
These core values have very much been created by all members of our school community. Respect, Courage and Pride came through as Values that staff feel are important to define us a community, Students overwhelmingly selected the term Determination and parents very much suggested Compassion as a core value.
Courage
Courage is about stepping out of our comfort zones and facing challenges with confidence. It means speaking up for what is right, taking risks in our learning, and being resilient when faced with setbacks.

Theme of the week: Being a Disciple. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus gives His disciples a powerful new commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you.” It’s more than a suggestion - it’s the defining mark of a true disciple. Being a disciple of Jesus isn’t just about what we believe; it’s about how we live. It’s shown in our love, kindness, and forgiveness toward others. When we choose to love in our words and actions, we reflect Jesus to the world and show that we truly belong to Him. Let’s live the love He calls us to this week. #FaithInAction #Reflection

Theme of the week: Belonging. In the Gospel this week, Jesus says, “My sheep listen to my voice… I know them.” We are known, loved, and safe in His hands. The theme of belonging is so important as it reminds us that we are never alone - always part of God’s family. #Reflection #Belonging

Theme of the week: Bravery. In the Gospel this week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb despite fear. The disciples hid, but Jesus came to bring peace and courage. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid - it means trusting Jesus and doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. #Faith #Bravery #Reflection
