Dear Parents,

At the end of last term our staff participated in professional development day where we developed the Vison and Mission of our school.

Father Peter Slater presented to us on this day about St Angela of the Cross and why our school was named after her. It was of great importance that we learnt more about her and made sure that her charism was reflected throughout the following statements.

At St Angela of the Cross we strive to be a nurturing, humble Catholic community; building a culture of faith filled, persistent and inclusive learners.

We will be nurturing and inclusive

• We will challenge and support each other to flourish, grow and learn
• We will ensure all school members have the opportunity to belong and feel connected to the school

We will demonstrate humility

• We will use our strengths to help others
• We will put others before ourselves

We will be persistent

• We will see mistakes as opportunities to learn
• We will be resilient and goal focused

We will be faith filled

• We will enact Christ’s and St Angela’s invitation to serve
• We will support our community’s journey in their faith

As a staff we will use these statements as teaching tools and learning opportunities to ensure our students understand the vision of our school.
