This discussion paper discusses how Christian anthropology shapes and informs learning at All Saints Catholic Primary School. According to Treston (2001), Christian anthropology emphasizes “that despite our imperfect condition, we are created in the image of God and have the capacity to be transformed by God's merciful love. Groome (1998) and Treston (2001) also discuss a positive anthropology of the person recognizing that we are created in the image of God and that humanity is essentially good. We are all made to pursue what is right and right, exactly what God would do. As an active member of the All Saints Catholic School community, I value and uphold All Saints' vision of "a spirit-centered, Jesus-inspired community of learners seeking integrity and fullness of life” (All Saints Catholic Primary School website). This is at the center of teaching and learning at All Saints. At All Saints Catholic Primary School, learning reflects current theology and use of scripture, as outlined in the Crossways and Made in the Image of God (MITIOG) framework. We take a holistic approach to being human at All Saints. We promote the Catholic identity of the whole person by ensuring a balance between social, emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual well-being. I do this particularly by facilitating a range of learning experiences that are not just academic but that build resilience, relationships and choices. Children at All Saints are exposed to learning experiences that promote lifelong growth by making learning opportunities relevant to children's lives and developing meaningful life skills. Children at All Saints also benefit from a range of leadership opportunities, for example the opportunity to be in the middle of a sheet of paper......in my classroom I have created an environment in which we are a family and, as a whole school, we are a village where interdependence is celebrated and we work together to do the best for our children and each other. In our village, we all need to love and be loved. If I didn't love my children, I wouldn't meet their needs. For successful learning to take place, children must feel a sense of value and meaning. Every child in my class is here for a reason and is valued as an individual whose life is meaningful and worthwhile (Groome, 1998, p. 93).
