Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country

John F Kennedy

At JFK, following the example of Christ, who came to serve and not to be served, we aim to develop in our students a commitment to being of service to others. This will prepare them for their role as responsible adult citizens of the future.

This involves our students making a difference by:

• Being active members of the community, ready to give of their time
• Showing compassion for the poor and needy by supporting charitable works in our local communities and overseas.
