Statement to Live By

Statement to Live by...

The ‘Statements to Live By’ is a resource initially developed by Catholic Head Teachers across the North East Dioceses and is used successfully in a number of schools throughout the Hexham and Newcastle Diocese.

The resource is rooted in nine guiding principles which support the distinctive nature of Catholic schools. The statements make the Catholic values of the school explicit, promote a positive and caring Christian ethos that is understood and communicated to everyone, promote emotional literacy and contribute towards community cohesion and the common good.

Here at St Augustine's Catholic Primary School we explore a different ‘Statement to Live By’ which helps us live our life as Jesus taught us to.  Our Year 5 Chaplaincy team lead us in a whole school liturgy every Monday. These statements help us to think about who we are, what we believe and what we hope to become.  We hope that together we will nurture a sense of what it is to be fully human and alive as children and adults sharing in this Christian community.
