SS John and Monica have pledged and are on their journey to becoming a School of Sanctuary. This is a place where:

At SS John and Monica, we actively promote empathy and intercultural awareness by promoting the voices and contributions of people seeking sanctuary, encouraging an understanding of the experiences of displaced people, and helping to combat stereotypes. 

  • We foster a culture of welcome and safety for people seeking sanctuary, including asylum-seeking and refugee families. 
  • We educate the whole school community about the human right to sanctuary and identify practical means for schools to demonstrate that commitment.
