Our Mission
To empower and inspire our students to work hard and make good choices based on a strong moral purpose developed by being part of a Christian values-driven community with a high achieving culture.
To ensure our students acquire valuable knowledge, skills and behaviours, along with an appreciation of the power that love and learning can give them, so they can make a positive contribution to their community and wider society.
To build character, resilience, tolerance and ambition in our young people through encouragement to overcome barriers, recognition of the value of diversity and celebration of their achievements.
To serve our community by providing the highest quality of education and support that removes barriers, scaffolds success and raises aspirations for all.
We set high standards and have high expectations for both learning and personal development. We strive to set our children on the best path for their future, by instilling self-belief and self-confidence in what they can achieve.
