Senior School Prospectus

The time we spend in secondary education shapes who

we are. These are the years that form the mind, the heart

and the personality. They carry the child into adulthood.

They set a direction and light the pathway for the future.

The pages of this booklet describe something of the

ambitious and supportive Christian community which

this school is; they explain something of our ethos, our

philosophy. But words and pictures can only convey a limited

amount. Please regard them simply as an introduction,

and indeed as an invitation to visit and experience for yourself

something of what makes this school so successful.

Adjectives visitors use for our school include warm, friendly,

courteous, confident, energetic, cheery, engaging and

industrious. You will find your own way of describing the

Cathedral School. Whatever words you choose, I am sure they

will be ones which acknowledge the down-to-earth openness

and warmth of all members of the Cathedral School family,

the appetite for doing things well, the determination to succeed

and to help others succeed and, above all, a sense that in this

school our approach to the world, present and future, is infused

with the gospel virtues of faith, hope and love.
