School History and Tradition

  • We are proudly named after St. Clement, who became the third Pope after St. Peter in 91 AD.

  • St. Clement was one of the earliest Christian writers and personally knew St. Peter and St. Paul.

  • One of his most famous letters, written to the Christians of Corinth, encouraged them to:

    • Reconcile their differences

    • Live in unity

    • Promote peace

  • St. Clement was exiled by Emperor Trajan to the Crimea, where he was martyred around 100 AD.

  • St. Clement is the patron saint of stone cutters and sailors.

  • We celebrate his feast day on November 23.

  • We strive to honour St. Clement through our Catholic teachings and school activities.

  • We encourage our students to follow his example by:

    • Treating others with respect

    • Working together in harmony

    • Playing cooperatively

    • Building a school community rooted in unity and peace
