Fit For Sport @ Saint Christinas School

Educating children in the Catholic tradition means being part of a warm, caring and compassionate community in which everyone is encouraged to think about others and care for our environment.
We think that our ethos serves as a point of reference and an anchor for who we are and who we hope to become.
In the end, we think that educating kids in the Catholic tradition allows them to develop in a protected and nurturing environment that fosters self-expression, builds self-esteem and respect, and promotes qualities like self-awareness, reflection, character strength, and a sense of justice and fairness in a world that is not always just and fair.
Saint Christinas School was founded in 1949 by the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Ignatian tradition which places great value on learning in its purest sense, alongside the development of the skills of listening, reflection, self-knowledge and independence.
We are interested in growing children in the broadest sense and in so doing endeavour to create an environment that allows them to feel happy and safe.
In addition to the close and trustworthy relationships that the kids have with their teachers, there are additional supports in place to help kids who might occasionally need extra help. These include small breakout focus groups, the work of the Learning Support staff, and, in terms of mental health, attending sessions where kids can talk to the pat dog about their feelings.
We seek to promote the growth of self-assurance, fortitude, and compassion.
We want the children who leave our community to be people who are valued for their kindness and their ability and desire to add to any environment that they become a part of.
We want our children to have a strong sense of justice and fairness, the ability to absorb ideas, engage in robust discussion, exchange views confidently and modestly and adapt ideas on the basis of consideration and not whim, and hope that all will, in whatever walk of life that they choose to follow, be people who make a difference.
Children and young people are the school's top priority, and Saint Christinas School expects all employees and volunteers to share this dedication.
Our goal is for every student to reach their full potential.
