Motto
Learning and Growing with Christ

Mission
Led by God, St Mark’s provides a quality education, developing individuals’ potential and encouraging all to reflect Christ’s love in service to others.

Values
God’s Word, as revealed in the Bible, is the authority of what we do and teach. Therefore, we foster and support the following biblical values.

Love We daily reflect God’s love for us in our interactions with others.
Forgiveness We forgive others as God forgives us and in so doing we recognise the wrong, seek reconciliation and begin anew.
Integrity We display a moral character based on honesty, truthfulness and faithfulness.
Patience We display patience through perseverance and self-control.
Respect We are considerate of others, honour their role and recognise their worth as individuals.
Justice We interact with others in a fair and equitable manner.
Cooperation We work together harmoniously and in so doing, acknowledge differences but remain focused on achieving common goals.
Service We selflessly give of our time and talents for others.
Hope We face the future with confidence in anticipation of the possibilities God holds for us.
Compassion We care for and have empathy with the situations of others as we walk alongside them.
Excellence We encourage all to aim for excellence through realising their potential.
