Our school motto is "Serviam" meaning "I shall serve." We are a testament to this in that our school community bears witness to God's love; whereby each individual is encouraged to serve and love one another. Mission StatementOur Mission is to ensure that every individual achieves their potential through the pursuit of academic excellence and the nurturing of their gifts and talents.To create a caring Catholic community; allowing everyone to develop and share in the love of Christ; serving the world of today and tomorrow through the relationships we make and the service we provide to others.As Ursulines we continue the approach to ministry which draws its life and vision from St Angela's spirit and philosophy.
