Cathedral School is called into existence as a faith-family where parents teachers, children and pastors work together to create an atmosphere of Christian love, self-esteem, and mutual respect.
In this nurturing environment, culturally diverse children are formed by Gospel values and given a quality education to prepare them intellectually and spiritually to meet the challenges of their lives now and in the future.
As Christians, all have the obligation and the joy of proclaiming Jesus Christ to everyone.
The faculty of Cathedral School undertake this task in their day-to-day life experience with the students by trying their best to lead them to Christ.
As we share the Catholic truths and living which make Cathedral School unique, we attempt to create an atmosphere of self-respect and peace.
In this setting, children of multi-cultural backgrounds learn to grow together in harmony.
