‘When Jesus is asked which is the greatest commandment, the answer is the same in all three of the Gospels in which the question is asked: to love God with all your mind, heart, soul and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself’.

This call to love is at the heart of the educational mission of every Catholic school.  It is a mission that is clearly echoed in the Second Vatican Council which teaches that the purpose of an education that is distinctively Christian is threefold.  Its first purpose is to ensure that all pupils understand the faith that gives the school its identity as a Catholic school.  The second, is to ensure that all are invited to learn how to worship God in spirit and truth through the prayer and liturgy of the Church.  The third, is the formation of all to live in conformity with the pattern of human goodness, truth and justice that we find in Jesus Christ.’
