"Grateful, Respectful, Our Best, Welcoming"
As a school founded on the Christian faith, we acknowledge that for our children to GROW we must feed them spiritually, emotionally and with wisdom in a learning environment, which values, respects and welcomes all children and their families. We endeavour to live out the words from St. Matthew’s Gospel: For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Dear God Help us to be Grateful for our school, our friends and our families. Help us to have Respect for ourselves and those around us. Help us always to try Our Best in all that we do. Help us to make everyone in our school feel Welcome and part of the St James' family. Amen
Welcome text emphasizes the school's Christian foundation and GROW values (Grateful, Respect, Our Best, Welcoming). It describes feeding children spiritually, emotionally and with wisdom in a learning environment, and invites everyone to feel welcome in the St James' family, ending with a prayer about gratitude, respect, doing our best and welcoming others.
