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.

Faith takes effort, and God is with us in every challenge, helping us grow and make a difference. #reflection 💪✨🙏

Theme of the week: Remembrance. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus visits the Temple, a sacred place for prayer and worship and finds that people have forgotten its true purpose. His response isn’t just about following rules; it’s a call to remember what really matters. Just as Jesus reminded others that the Temple was a place to honour God and give thanks, Remembrance invites us to pause and reflect on the things that truly hold meaning:
✨ the gift of life
✨ the importance of peace
✨ the courage and sacrifice of those who gave their lives for others
This week, we take time to remember all who have fought in war and those who have made sacrifices so that others might live in freedom. As we remember, we honour their bravery and renew our commitment to being people of peace, hope, and love. #reflection
