Vision & Values

‘I can do all things through the one who strengthens me’ (Philippians 4:13)

Our desire is that the strong Christian foundation children receive at St Margaret’s School will give them the confidence to explore the world around them with awe and wonder. We want to build a whole community based on the values of faith, hope and love. We strive for excellence aiming to develop children who are happy, intrinsically motivated, resilient and independent and who believe there is nothing they cannot achieve.

• Faith is the cornerstone of this foundation and the motivation of those who provide this  education. It is through faith that our community learns to trust in God’s promises, believing that He is their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Faith empowers our community to step forward with confidence, knowing that their abilities are magnified by His power.
• Hope is the anchor that keeps children and adults alike steadfast. In moments of uncertainty and adversity, hope reminds them that God’s plans for them are good, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). This hope is not wishful thinking, but a confident expectation rooted in God’s unchanging nature and His faithfulness.
• Love is the greatest of these virtues, as it binds everything together in perfect harmony (Colossians 3:14). Experiencing love compels our school community to act, to serve, and to persevere. It is through this love that they find the strength to overcome challenges, to forgive, and to extend love and grace to others.
