Our Mission and Values
St Simon Stock Catholic School roots its ethos on the motto: Labora Cum Amore, Work with Love.
Our Carmelite Charism is embedded in our House System, school virtues and values.
We are a community of love, called to develop our Catholic faith and instil hope in our students.
We strive for the highest academic and personal attainment, build a culture of appreciation of others, and encourage reflective learning and wellbeing.
We call our students to be ready at all times, take responsibility for their own learning, and behave respectfully to others.
We strive to make life at our school loving and welcoming from whenever they start to wherever their journey leads them.
