Living the Gospel
The Catholic school loses its purpose without constant reference to the gospel and a frequent encounter with Christ. It derives all the energy necessary for its educational work from Christ and thus creates in the school community an atmosphere permeated with the gospel spirit of freedom and love (The Catholic School, 1977, n.55).
In living the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Catholic school seeks to be a place that recognises the sacramentality of everyday moments in the school day and the everyday lives of its members. The school seeks to model a culture of hope and joy that provides a powerful expression of the good news of Jesus.
