Reverence, Respect and Responsibility

At Star of the Sea School our focus is Reverence, Respect and Responsibility.

In our Christ centred learning environment each child is called to achieve spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth.

With Parish, home and school working together we can bring each child closer to this goal.
