Alert: RNLS Open Day - Wednesday 28 May 2025 - 9AM till 3PM
Our School Motto
Our Crest incorporates the shield - symbolic of faith, the blood red cross – symbolic of salvation through Christ's sacrifice, and the white eagle in flight standing for our EAGLES Vision and soaring for Christ.
SEEK SERVE SOAR, is based upon a passage from the prophet Isaiah:
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint. Isaiah 40:31
To SEEK means to seek truth, to experience God's grace and to discover who Jesus is.
To SERVE means deciding to put others before ourselves, learning the meaning of empathy.
To SOAR means to aim high in all things, and to become a mature, balanced person.
Our Aspiration
