'Let your light shine'

Our vision for our community is for everyone, children and adults, to flourish and shine brightly as the best and fullest version of their unique selves. We aim high and do not let circumstances limit us. In the Old Testament, we see that God created all human beings in his image as unique, loved individuals. It was God’s plan for all of creation, including human beings, to flourish. God’s desire is for us all to be amazing – loved, valued, represented, celebrated, and fulfilled.

Genesis 1:27: "So, God created human beings, making them to be like himself."

Psalm 139:13-14: "For you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful."

In our community, we express this through our motto: ‘Let your light shine.’ To us, this means being ambitious and determined, proud of who we are and what we can be, pushing boundaries, trying new things, making a difference, being brave, and continuing to learn. It means celebrating diversity and difference, treasuring the uniqueness of everyone. We are committed to the full flourishing of everyone – body, mind, and spirit.

John 10:10: "I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of."

The work of our school is to equip everyone to discover and love their unique self, to express it boldly and confidently through their treasured gifts, and to find their place in making God’s world a better place.
