Our Aims and Vision

We intend education at St Margaret’s to be life-lasting and life-enhancing. Our Mission Statement focuses the work and life of the school, which takes place in an orderly atmosphere of self discipline, mutual respect and regard for the welfare of the individual.

Christianity in the School Family

Importance is given to regular worship, religious education in the classroom and the general presentation of Christianity in the school family. The School presents the teachings of Our Lord but recognises that commitment is a matter for the individual. We want everyone to enjoy their time here, be proud of their school and uphold the principles that underpin a Christian School.

We aim to

• (i) to promote Christian values and service in order that all may discover their own individual value and self-worth and to encourage them to respect the rights and beliefs of others;
• (ii) to enable everyone to maximise their intellectual achievement and develop their talents in a wide range of educational skills according to each person’s abilities;
• (iii) to develop lively, enquiring minds with a sense of excitement and curiosity about the world, which will encourage the search for truth and equip all for lifelong learning;
• (iv) to provide a safe, supportive and stimulating environment where all may grow towards a sense of fulfilment;
• (v) to promote physical development and health education and to recognise the benefits of physical endeavour;
• (vi) to help students find a true vocation in life; to take their place in an increasingly global and technological work environment; to prepare them for life in the community beyond school and the part they, as individual Christians, can come to play in society;
• (vii) to generate an enthusiasm for the protection of the environment on a local, national and international level;
• (viii) to enhance the concept of partnership between students, parents, teachers and the broader community, including the church, charitable organisations, primary and tertiary educational institutions, employers, industry and commerce.
