Our vision
St Lucy's (a work of the Dominican Sisters) is an independent, specialist Catholic School and community. We reach out to children with disabilities who we recognise have the right to enjoy a rich education that will give them the same opportunity as other children to lead a fulfilling life.
Our Dominican tradition encourages a love of learning, a love of the aesthetic and the preaching of the Gospel message of truth, justice, inclusion and joy.
As a specialist school for children with cognitive and other disabilities we seek excellence and innovation in education to enable us to understand our children and share our knowledge
We seek to be a school which affirms and celebrates our children by exploring with them their many 'languages' and their capacity for love and joy.
We seek for all to treasure the unique way our children reveal the face of Christ and bring the Kingdom of God among us.
We believe that by providing an educational experience which caters for individual needs and differences within a caring and supportive atmosphere, children will grow in the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for life.
A strong commitment to collaborative decision making, partnership with parents and ongoing professional development of staff will ensure that children's gifts and potential are recognised and developed.
Christian values underpin the whole educational endeavour of St Lucy's. The children are led to grow in a loving relationship with God, and from that to respect themselves, other people and all of Creation.
Through lived and shared experience, children are led in an awareness of their self-worth, encouraged to have pride in themselves, and to feel empowered to take their rightful place in the community.
