From the Herne Church of England Junior School
Our vision summarises who we are, what we do as a school, and what we aspire to be: we are a vibrant, aspirational community built in God's love.
We all have a mission: to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. This includes the children, the staff, and the larger community.
Our distinctive Christian culture encourages people to follow Jesus' example by loving and supporting one another, developing and using the talents, skills, and abilities that God has uniquely given each of them, and setting high standards for living a full life (John 10:10).
The Good Samaritan story (Luke 10:25鈥�37) serves as the cornerstone for our school's Christian principles and aids in our community's growing knowledge of the phrase "Love your neighbour as yourself."
The Christian principles of community, compassion, forgiveness, charity, and hope were chosen by our entire school community.
This story contains elements of all these principles, but perhaps more significantly, it raises the questions of who we desire to be, what God wants us to be, and how we shall live.
