knowledge through the light of faith
Our Mission is to make Jesus Christ Known to all our students. We place Christ at the centre of School Life.
In doing so we form Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for justice.
We want every student to know they are "Made for Greatness" because they are a unique child of God.
Every student is called to live out the gospel values by loving God, others and themselves and by being prepared to always do their best and be the best person they can be. Our core values are summed up in the following qualities that we hope all of our students at St John Henry Newman
School will ASPIRE to:
Achievement
Service
Peace
Integrity
Respect
Excellence
Our Vision and Aims
The vision of education that inspires St John Henry Newman
School is always centred on the person. As Pope John Paul II wrote:
An all-round education seeks to develop every aspect of the individual: social, intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual.
Our aims are to ensure that students are given the opportunities to ASPIRE to:
Achievement
Achieve through dynamic, creative, innovative teaching and learning
Service
Serve God, each other and our community
Peace
Peacemakers in our homes, school and community
Integrity
Integrity shines through all of our endeavours
Respect
Respect for ourselves, each other and our environment
Excellence
Excellence in our learning with positivity and perseverance
In a Catholic school, the true development of the person, pupils and staff, takes precedence over all other things.
