WITNESS the Gospel values in all we say and do
All underpinned by putting CHRIST AT THE CENTRE of all we do
We strongly believe that children leaving our school must be well equipped for the future.
We aim to honour and maintain the vision and ideals of the founders of our school, who, inspired by their love of Christ, established in the community a centre of learning based upon the teachings of Christ.
