specifically Courage and Trust.

The decision to portray our vision on a dove is to symbolise the Hope that is behind all we do, all we are and how we live our lives.
Hope
We use the dove as a symbol of our hope
‘Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.”’
* We encourage children to be hopeful, to think positively.
* We tell children about the hope we have in Jesus.
