Family and Community

Solidarity and the Common Good

Rights and Responsibilities

Dignity of Work

Stewardship and Care for Creation

     

Catholic School Pupil Profile Virtues

                                                       

These have been identified as the qualities we seek to develop in our pupils, so each term we focus on 2 virtues that we explore through prayer and liturgy. Children have opportunities to reflect on these and discern ways in which they can apply their learning to life in school and our wider community. 

 

We believe that:

• If we nurture gratitude in our pupils, they will practise generosity;
• If we nurture attentiveness in our pupils, they will practise discernment, make good decisions in their lives and accept responsibility for their actions;
• If we nurture compassion and love in our pupils, they will treat others with respect and they will learn to empathise with those who suffer poverty, injustice or violence;
• If we nurture faith and hope in our pupils, they will have the confidence to contribute positively to the communities in which they live and inspire others to be hopeful for the future;
• If we nurture eloquence and truthfulness in our pupils, they will be honest and respectful in their relationships with others;
• If we nurture wisdom and a desire to learn in our pupils, they will use their gifts and skills for the benefit of others and will contribute positively to others’ lives;
• If we nurture curiosity in our pupils and engage them actively in their learning, they will become lifelong learners who are tolerant and respectful of difference and diversity;
• If we nurture a strong conscience in our pupils, they will have the confidence to lead by example, reflecting on God’s love for others and striving for harmony and equality in the communities around us.
