Our Values

Our values permeate everything we do as a school community.

Our school badge reflects the Dominican stylised crucifix with three other symbols:

  • An eagle, the biblical symbol of St John the Apostle;
  • The clasped hands of friendship, indicating the "partnership" between our school and the community that is highly valued, each of us with different roles but with a united direction for the strong growth of each and every child;
  • The waves of the sea, reminding us both of our coastal setting and also water as a religious symbol of new life and spiritual nourishment through baptism and the sacraments.

 

Our students are encouraged to be:

  • Open to a relationship with God and know that God loves them unconditionally;
  • Collaborative and able to relate to others with understanding and integrity;
  • Generous and compassionate community members who respect the dignity of others; and
  • Hope-filled and resilient in their outlook on life and the future
