Catholic Life and Mission
Mission
Our Lady of Lourdes School is devoted to Mary the Mother of God who appeared to Saint Bernadette in Lourdes in 18XX. Our mission statement guides us to follow Mary’s example in all we do.
Love like Mary, Serve like Mary, Learn like Mary, Believe like Mary.
The Gospel tells us that in Mary’s life she had a strong faith in God, this meant that with her son Jesus she knew how important it was to love and serve others. During her life she continued to learn about her faith and to accept God’s will even at very difficult times in her life.
Core Values
Our Mission is highlighted through our shared school values where we learn the importance of treating everyone with respect, understanding and kindness. We learn that we are responsible for each other and the world around us. By continuing to follow the example of Mary and her son Jesus we can become the best that we can be.
Respect: Is when we know that everyone is important and so we treat them very well.
Responsibility: Is when we know that we are the ones to care for each other and the place we live
Kindness: Is treating each other with love because we know everyone is special
Understanding: Is knowing how others feel and sharing those feelings with another
Be the best we can be (Excellence): Is trying our hardest in everything we do
Be a believer (Faith): Knowing that I can have a go and encourage others to
