St Matthew's

At St. Matthew’s we encourage all members of our school community to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.  We talk about our life journey as our ‘Lifesong’ and we encourage each other to live out the message of Jesus through ‘the words we say and the things we do.’

Our Lifesong mission is inspired by the song of the same title written by American contemporary Christian rock group, Casting Crowns.  

Lifesong Legacies

Every month, we explore and celebrate the lives of people who sing their Lifesong by walking in the footsteps of Jesus.  Look at the slides below to find out about who has been the focus of our Lifesong Legacies assemblies.

Pilgrims of Hope

In January, we embarked on a pilgrimage of hope in celebration of the jubilee year called by Pope Francis.  Every child was given a candle to treasure throughout the year as a reminder of the light Christ shines in their hearts, and of the light that they can shine for others by living their Lifesong.  

Holy Island

In September, we had a wonderful whole school pilgrimage to Holy Island as part of our 150th celebrations. We began our pilgrimage by attending mass at St Aidan’s church led by Fr Michael and then enjoyed exploring the island together.
