We ask ourselves, and each other: How have you REACHed out today? In worship, we have looked at Van Goghs version of The Good Samaritan. Year Five were inspired to create their own artwork. Each child carefully and lovingly created part of the picture to create this stunning image that is now displayed for all children and staff to see.
Reaching out to others, following the example of the Good Samaritan. Luke 10:25-37 Our Christian values form the foundation of our school community. We use the acronym REACH to ensure they are memorable and meaningful.
Our Christian values are Resilience, Excellence, Agape, Community, and Hope (REACH) , and here is what each one means for us, and what it looks like in action: What it means here: Resilience is the ability to persevere through challenges and setbacks, to keep going when things get tough, and to view mistakes as learning opportunities.
In action: We encourage children to take on challenges and step out of their comfort zones. When faced with difficulties, whether in their learning or personal life, we help them build the skills to bounce back, learn from experience, and keep trying.
