Our School Mission and Vision
Our broad mission is to provide quality Christian education that equips and inspires all students to reach their life’s potential in order to serve God’s purposes. This we see being accomplished through what we call our EAGLES vision.
Our Crest and School Motto
Our Crest incorporates the shield - symbolic of faith, the blood red cross – symbolic of salvation through Christ’s sacrifice, and the white eagle in flight standing for our EAGLES Vision and soaring for Christ.
Our Motto, SEEK SERVE SOAR, is based upon a passage from the prophet Isaiah:
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not grow faint.
SEEK To seek Christ, growing in grace, and obeying all that he has taught us.
SERVE To serve others out of love, faith and compassion, benefiting others before ourselves.
SOAR To soar high in all endeavours, excelling in learning to the best of our ability.
Our Values
The school has four character cornerstones comprising of Mercy, Humility, Wisdom and Justice which underpin twelve core values.
