We are an urban school with students from a range of ethnic backgrounds which adds a special cultural diversity to our school. Our goal is to provide a holistic education in that we attempt to meet the spiritual, learning, physical, social and emotional needs of the students. We have a strong emphasis on achievement in learning, particularly in Literacy (Writing and Reading) and Numeracy. Within this goal we ensure that all students have the opportunity to take part in arts and sports based programmers, areas in which the school has achieved success in wider community activities. Part of our school philosophy is inclusive education which means that all students take part in all school activities to the limit of their skills and abilities... In keeping with the tradition of our Catholic school and that of other Catholic schools, it is considered necessary that the children wear a school uniform. A school uniform helps students identify with their school and assist with the development..
