Our Vision

'Building the confidence and resilience to flourish'

 

Our vision is to offer your child an outstanding educational experience through promoting our core values:

Belonging   Courage   Perseverance   Trust   Compassion

 

Our Christian vision, is centred on the story of Jesus Walks on the Water (Matthew 14: 22-33).

Peter showed great courage in stepping out of the boat. As a follower of Jesus, this may mean we need to get out of our comfort zone, in our learning and in our lives.

Peter asked Jesus to command him to walk on the water. Jesus calls each of us to ‘believe and trust in him', for example, in the baptism service.

When Peter took his eyes off Jesus, he noticed the strong wind and he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed but fixing our eyes on Jesus can help us. In Hebrews we read: …let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12: 1-2).

 

Our Christian vision sets high expectations for our whole school community to challenge and support each other to:

  • demonstrate our value of BELONGING treating everyone with respect and courtesy
  • have the COURAGE to try and the determination to PERSEVERE
  • build TRUST by being honest and thoughtful
  • show COMPASSION through acts of kindness and forgiveness

 

'If you want to walk on water, you've got to step out of the boat.'
