In the Hebrew scriptures, to give something a name was to call itinto existence, to give it an identity.We call upon this sacred tradition as we seek to define our vision forourselves and our school community.
We are a Catholic College.....
We envision a school where the understanding ofhuman integrity, as modeled by Jesus Christ and taught by the Catholic Church, is lived.
We therefore:
¨treat people with dignity and respect
¨value the individual
¨offer a view of the world which is distinctive
¨allow second chances
¨celebrate our faith
¨actively teach our Christian tradition
¨pray together
¨promote the needs of those less fortunate
¨invite a personal faith response
¨seek what is just
We are a Regional College.....
We envision a school where people continue with us, a journey begun in their local parish.
We therefore:
¨value the relationship we have with our feeder parishes
¨make real attempts to know one another
¨celebrate the cultural and religious communities we come from
¨foster acceptance of diversity
¨encourage continued participation in parish events
¨support our collegial campuses
¨welcome opportunities to be involved in local events
We are a College.....
We envisage a school where excellence is applauded.
We therefore:
¨acknowledge achievement and success
¨value learning
¨develop responsibility
¨offer opportunity for shared leadership
¨encourage the use and appreciation of talents
¨invite the setting of personal goals
¨develop a curriculum which meets the needs of the individual
We envision a school whereeverything that we do witnesses to who we are; so that faith, based on thebelief that God loves each of us, pride in our religious tradition and hope ina future enriched through education, might last a lifetime.
