knowledge through the light of faith
Our Mission is to ensure that Jesus Christ is made known to all our students by placing Christ and the teaching of the Catholic Church at the centre of students' lives.We endeavour to make known to every student that they are made for greatness because they are a child of God and are uniquely created and loved by God.
Every student is called to live out the gospel values by loving God, others and themselves and by being prepared to always do their best and be the best person they can be. Our core values are summed up in the following qualities that we hope all of our students at Cardinal Newman school will ASPIRE to:
