  • Live and celebrate Gospel values and Catholic beliefs 
  • Make prayer, worship and liturgy both meaningful and relevant experience for all 
  • Promote a spirit of partnership within the community that enhances the life of the school 
  • Provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for parents and visitors ensuring that they are treated with courtesy and respect by all members of the community.
