Catholic Life and Mission

At our school, being Catholic is at the heart of everything we do. This means we focus on loving God and loving others, just like Jesus taught us. We learn about our faith in fun and meaningful ways, like through prayer, school Masses, and helping others in our community.

Every day, we start and end with prayer. We celebrate important times in the Church year, like Christmas and Easter, with special events and assemblies. We also come together for Mass and other moments of worship where everyone is welcome to join.

Our school believes in showing kindness and care for everyone, no matter their background. We learn about Catholic Social Teaching, which helps us understand how to make the world a fairer place. This could mean caring for the planet, helping those in need, or supporting charities through projects like food drives and fundraisers.

Our teachers and leaders help us grow in faith and character. They guide us to be the best we can be, not just in lessons but in how we treat each other. There are also chaplaincy opportunities where we can join in prayer groups, plan liturgies, or take part in retreats to deepen our spiritual journey.

We believe everyone is unique and made in the image of God, which is why we celebrate the gifts and talents of every student. Whether it’s through music, art, or helping others, there’s always a way to contribute to our school’s Catholic mission.

Together, we’re building a loving and supportive school community where faith and learning go hand in hand. Our Catholic Life helps us to grow closer to God, care for each other, and prepare for the future with faith, hope, and love.

Thank you so much for helping to make our Book Bus visit such a wonderful success yesterday. The children were absolutely delighted to climb aboard, explore the wide range of books available, and choose new reads to enjoy at home or add to their future library wish lists. Their enthusiasm for reading was a joy to see.

What a lovely start to 2026! It has been a wonderful week, made even more special by the opportunity to celebrate Mass together as a whole school community as we celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany. It was lovely to see so many parents and parishioners join us also.
