Our Vision and Values
Just as the mustard seed grows from the smallest seed into the greatest of trees, we believe at St Nicholas every child holds the potential to grow, shine and flourish into something great. At our school we nurture that God-given potential- spiritually, academically and personally – so that every child may become a STAR – to Strive, Trust, Achieve and Respect.
“With faith as small as a mustard seed we become STARs, nothing is impossible” – Matthew 17:20
This paraphrasing is taken from Matthew 17:20 in which Jesus explains that even faith as small as a mustard seed is enough to move mountains because the power comes from God, not the believer. The ‘mustard seed’ is a metaphor for the smallest possible amount of faith that can produce powerful results when it is genuine and trusted in God’s power. The ‘mountain’ is a symbol of an overwhelming obstacle, and the point is that with a little trust in God, one can overcome immense challenges.
