We take inspiration from the life of St Jude who displayed the qualities of faith, courage and perseverance and as a Catholic community we work together: Inspired by St Jude who displayed the qualities of faith, courage & perseverance, our school community achieves together in God's love.
St. Jude's is a Catholic community where children are seen as individuals made in the image of God. We aim to provide our children with the skills and qualities that will help them become happy, successful and thoughtful adults who will actively contribute to society.
These three school rules are further explored and explicitly taught in class, assemblies and other school experiences. For example, they might be expanded as follows: Be safe I will be kind and look after myself and others, and follow instruction from adults.
Be ready I will help myself and others to learn by being in the right place, with the right equipment and ready to listen and learn. Be respectful I will listen and talk politely to everyone and look after equipment and other people's possessions.
