LIFE 'Living and Inspiring Futures for Everyone'
Who are we?
“So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”
Romans 12:5
We are part of many families; our school family, our local community, our national identity and a global community with responsibility for the whole world.
Why are we here?
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
We are here to learn that we all have a role to play in making wise decisions so everyone can live with dignity.
How then shall we live?
“Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share, treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.”
1 Timothy 6:18-19
We will live in hope that our actions will have a positive effect throughout our lives and on the lives of others, no matter where they live.
