A Marist school, is a community built on the gospel, a place of warmth and hospitality, a learning community with high expectations, purpose and breadth of vision for the future.
- Jesus is the example we aspire to follow.
- Mary is our model for positive relationships.
- As a Catholic Christian school, we identify with the spirituality and educational approach that was introduced by St Marcellin Champagnat forming our Marist Charism.
- Respect and dignity for each individual is central to our way of being and we value and celebrate our community of families. Each and every student can contribute positively to our College community and, by extension, the wider society.
- We seek to give joyful witness, through our motto “Lead By Example”, as shown to us by our patron saint St Marcellin Champagnat.
- Informed by the gospel values and the Marist characteristics of education, we work in partnership with families to nurture and support our students in their development as good Christians and global citizens to take an active role in the wider community.
Our Catholic Marist tradition plays a key part in the holistic development of our students. These values integrate with our focus on student engagement and student wellbeing.
Our Circles of Engagement integrates our College values with our Marist Charism.
