St Anthony's Vision and Mission 

Mission: 

 

Challenged by the good news of Jesus Christ, we seek to bring life to our motto of ‘Love and Service’ in a welcoming, hope-filled and compassionate community of learning.

We are committed to:

  • - Collaboratively searching for the best means of realising the partnership between family, school and parish
  • - Making the traditions and teachings of Catholic heritage accessible and life giving for each other
  • - Inviting and encouraging children to reach their full and whole potential
  • - Assisting to live life with joy and meaning in the present, and to develop a critical and inquiring spirit of past and present for transformation of the future
  • - Leading children to confidently know that they can make a positive difference in society
  • - Working together to provide a pleasant, attractive physical environment, and an equitable distribution of school resources
  • - Actively reflecting on our mission and evaluating success and failure in the light of the Gospel, to open new directions for the future.

Vision:

 

At St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School Clovelly, our vision for student learning is that they are:

  • Confident individuals
  • Creative minds
  • Connected learners.
