Vision and Values
Kindness, Trust, Friendship, Respect, Courage, Forgiveness
Vision statement
Our School is built on the teachings of the Bible and inspired by The Gospel Values of Faith, Hope and Love.
Our Christian ethos is upheld by respecting humanity fostered through our community that is welcoming, inclusive and forgiving.
Together we flourish through courageous learning, friendships and generosity.
TO BE THE BEST THAT I CAN BE – THE WAY GOD INTENDS
Our values, interwoven through all aspects of school life, spring from a faith in Jesus, the person and His stories. Following His example, everyone is loved and encouraged as an individual in an inclusive, stimulating environment, empowering us all to become compassionate citizens and resilient lifelong learners who reach their potential.
The story of ‘Feeding of the 5000’ provides us with the basis of our school’s Christian values. The teaching of Jesus shows the whole Deal Parochial community that Christians can trust God, that He will provide for our needs and amplify our offerings to bless others. We know that God is larger that we can imagine, and He delights in providing for and blessing His children (Psalm 23:5)
Chosen by our school community, the Christian values of respect, trust, courage, forgiveness and friendship are at the heart of all that we do, including our whole school rules.
