Our Mission at St. Malachy’s

We are very proud of our community here at St. Malachy’s. All we do is underpinned by our Mission — a code of conduct designed collaboratively by our children, staff, academy councillors, and parents/carers. It reflects our shared values and our commitment to living out the Gospel in everything we say and do.

Our Mission – God Asks Us To...

• Accept and respect everyone.
• Always behave sensibly and safely.
• Work hard ourselves and keep everyone learning.
• Look after ourselves, others, and all the things in our school.
• Be the best version of ourselves!

This child-friendly code is rooted in our deeper Mission Statement, which guides the spiritual, moral, and educational life of our Catholic Academy:

In our Catholic Academy of St. Malachy’s, we believe that each one of us is a unique gift of a loving God, and we strive daily to create an environment of trust, respect, tolerance, honesty, and forgiveness of others.

We seek to offer all in our school family the opportunity to explore the mystery which God is and to live out each day demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ in action. All are included and valued regardless of colour, race, creed, gender, physical or intellectual ability, or cultural background.

We strive to work in wider active partnership with all who are responsible for the welfare and education of the children in our care.

Through daily, prayerful worship which nurtures personal reflection of our own faith journey and develops our awareness of the needs of the wider community, we proclaim and celebrate God’s love for us all.

We will love one another as Jesus teaches us to do; learn so that we can know God better in all things; and live life to the full as God intended us to do — all in 

The Light of the Lord.
