Work together; Succeed together
These core values have very much been created by all members of our school community. Respect, Courage and Pride came through as Values that staff feel are important to define us a community, Students overwhelmingly selected the term Determination and parents very much suggested Compassion as a core value.
Courage
Courage is about stepping out of our comfort zones and facing challenges with confidence. It means speaking up for what is right, taking risks in our learning, and being resilient when faced with setbacks.

An unforgettable visit for our students 💙
We were honoured to welcome Dr Gee Walker MBE to St Mary’s Catholic College, where she delivered a powerful and deeply moving message to our Year 9 pupils. Sharing the story of her son Anthony and the work of the @anthonywalkerfoundation, Dr Walker spoke about forgiveness, resilience and hope - inspiring students to stand up to hate and create positive change in their communities.
Her message strongly reflected our faith and values, reminding us of the words in Philippians 4:13:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Students described the talk as “heartfelt” and “powerful”, with many staying behind to thank Dr Walker and ask thoughtful questions - evidence of the lasting impact her words had. A truly meaningful experience that will stay with our young people for years to come.

Theme of the Week: Jesus is the Way. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus reassures His worried disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” He reminds them that He is “the way, the truth, and the life.” 💭 Even when we feel uncertain, Jesus guides us and shows us the path to follow. 🙏 Let’s trust in Him and look to His guidance in our daily choices. #JesusIsTheWay #Faith #TrustInGod
