Soli Deo – For God Alone
The Mission of our school, as part of the wider mission of the Catholic Church of Broken Bay, is to nurture our children into a community of disciples of Jesus.
We are a hope-filled community working together to provide a distinctively Catholic curriculum and learning environment for our children.
Our Catholic world-view informs the way that we live together, learn and teach. We believe that the gift of God’s love for each of us is central to our relationships.
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
John 13:34-35
We are committed to the development of the whole child – spiritually, socially, emotionally, academically and physically – within a safe and stimulating learning environment.
Therefore, we will:
-
Share our Catholic story and beliefs with our children
-
Enable the development of quality relationships as the basis for quality teaching, learning and behaviour
-
Honour and respect the God-given uniqueness of each of our children providing challenging learning experiences that meet their needs.
-
Empower our children to be critical thinkers who are able to make a difference in their work as witnesses to the Good News of Jesus
-
Encourage our children to be self-motivated, reflective and competent learners, who are growing in their knowledge and experience of God through the people and environments that make up our world
-
Include and welcome all into our community, treating each person with respect and care, so as to create a sense of belonging and connectedness
-
Challenge and support all in our community – children, parents and teachers – to see themselves as life-long learners, committed to continuous improvement
-
Celebrate achievements, recognising that every person has God-given gifts and that we each have the responsibility to use, develop and share those gifts with others.
