Have a think...

Which communities do you belong to?

Is our school a community?

If so, what makes Higham St. John's a community?

Think about our school motto 'One school family rooted in God's love.'

In the Bible, St. Paul tells the early church to live well together,

agreeing with each other and not falling out!

after one another and put others needs before our own.

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."  Romans 12:10
