SERVE
Catholic Social Teaching
at St Bede’s Primary School
As a Catholic School it is our duty to assist the church in its mission of making Christ known and His love shared with all people.
We are called to serve: to be at the service of the local church – the diocese, the parish and the Christian home. To be ‘a service to society’
The church’s principles of Catholic Social Teaching are central to our life in school, in all we think, say and do: they ensure that we live our faith and help us to make a positive difference in the world around us.
We link the Catholic Social Teaching principles with our school’s ‘Golden Rules’ that are rooted in the Golden Rule of our Faith: “Love one Another”.
We have a house system in school where every child is affiliated to. There are four houses: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each ‘House’ champions one of our Golden Rules and Principles.
| Golden Rules | CST | House |
| Speak with love | Dignity Everyone is loved |
St Matthew We believe that each person is special because God made us all. |
| Listen with respect | Subsidiarity Everyone has a voice |
St Mark We believe that people who make decisions should listen to everyone |
| Act with kindness | Solidarity We care for everyone |
St Luke We believe we are one big human family |
| Work together | Common Home We care for God’s gifts. |
St John We believe the world is for everyone and we need to take care of it. |
| Always do your best | Common Good The flourishing of everyone |
We believe when we Believe, Achieve and Serve, everyone can flourish |
