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.

Just a reminder that our Year 11 parents` evening takes place today, Thursday 23rd October 3:30pm-6:45pm. Appointments are available to book via school cloud.
Theme of the week: Don’t Give Up. This week’s Gospel reminds us of the power of persistence. Jesus shares the story of a widow who never gave up asking a judge for justice and eventually, he listened. In the same way, we are called to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep believing, even when things feel hard or our prayers seem unanswered. Faith grows through perseverance. #reflection

Theme of the week: Giving Thanks. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus heals ten men with leprosy, but only one returns to thank Him. This reminds us that gratitude is a powerful act of faith and love. When we take time to notice our blessings, we recognise that every good thing comes from God. Gratitude transforms our hearts, helping us to see beyond our worries and remember that God is always with us. 💛
A thankful heart brings peace, strengthens relationships, and inspires us to use our gifts in service of others. When we live with gratitude, we live with joy. 🌟 #reflection
