Ad Astra - To The Stars

Our School Mantra for this year is Ad Astra, which translates into Latin as “To The Stars”. This year, we are asking everyone in our community to consider how they can be the best versions of themselves to achieve incredible things - things perhaps they didn’t think possible. When we try our very best, when we persevere, we fulfil our potential and become the person that God has called us to be.

The Three Wise Kings followed the stars which led them to Christ. They aimed for the stars which led them to the Greatest Being our planet has ever seen our Lord Jesus. If we do the same in our own lives and trust in God’s plan for us, we too could achieve things beyond what we could ever imagine - today, tomorrow, and in our future vocation. Before you make a decision, perhaps you could consider - how will this lead me? Am I using my gifts to reach for the stars?

Psalms 8:3-5

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honour.

Our mantra is a reminder to every member of our school community that our futures and what we can achieve are entirely in our own hands. It is our dedication to our studies and our commitment to our own excellence that will ultimately get us to where we want to be, we will become the person that God has called us to be. Ad Astra!
