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: Temptation
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus is tempted in the desert after forty days of fasting. He is offered power, comfort and popularity, yet He chooses to stay faithful to God. Temptation is part of being human. This week, we reflect on the choices we face each day and how we respond when things are difficult. Like Jesus, may we choose trust, honesty, love and self-control.
We are really looking forward to welcoming all students back on Monday 23rd February. Students should go to their line up areas for 8:35am. #welcomeback #community
Today is #AshWednesday. As #Lent begins, it’s time to take stock, reflect and make a new start.
