Let your light shine

Our vision for our community is for everyone, children and adults, to flourish and shine brightly as the best and fullest version of their unique selves. We aim high and do not let circumstances limit us. In the Old Testament, we see that God created all human beings in his image as unique, loved individuals. It was God’s plan for all of creation, including human beings, to flourish. God’s desire is for us all to be amazing – loved, valued, represented, celebrated, and fulfilled.

Our vision is founded on Matthew 5:16 “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven.”

In our community, we express this through our motto: ‘Let your light shine.’ To us, this means being ambitious and determined, proud of who we are and what we can be, pushing boundaries, trying new things, making a difference, being brave, and continuing to learn. It means celebrating diversity and difference, treasuring the uniqueness of everyone. We are committed to the full flourishing of everyone – body, mind, and spirit.

I will shine. We will shine as, together, we grow in wisdom, learning from the teachings of Jesus, to serve our community. Matthew 5:14

Our Christian Values

The act of worship and the opportunity for stillness and engagement in personal and shared reflection is an important aspect of the life of our school. We encourage a sense of 'awe and wonder' in various ways, including story, music, dance, imagery and spoken language, seeking to promote understanding and respect for all members of our diverse community. By developing understanding of these Christian values and creating opportunities to demonstrate them, we aim for all children to recognise their responsibilities within and beyond school so that together we can work to create a just, joyful and caring world for all.
