Committed to Faith Formation in Dialogue with Other Religions and World Views
Jesuit education is committed to providing a solid faith formation and education to all members of its community. Jesuit schools are also committed to an inter-religious dialogue that prepares our students to understand, interact and embrace the religious diversity of our world.
Global Citizenship
This means preparing students and their families to identify first as members of the human family with a common responsibility for the entire world rather than just members of a particular nation or group.
Life-Long Learning
This means experiencing the generative, expansive core of wonder, hope, joy, delight, compassion, connection, everywhere, with all, in all.
Care for All Creation
This means preparing students and their families to identify with and feel responsible for all creation. We are incredibly proud of our work with The Green Schools Organisation, achieving all eight flags.
Justice and Accessibility to All
Children from all backgrounds are welcome in Gardiner Street Primary School.
Jesuit education should provide opportunities for students to:
- Form hearts open to the suffering of others
- Understand the root causes of inequality and oppression
- Affect positive change in the local culture and the world
Human Excellence
Not only do we strive for excellence in the academic subjects, we provide opportunities for children to develop their talents in our music programme and extra-curricular activities.
