At the same time, we proudly see ourselves at the forefront of contemporary education, developing the intellectual talents of our students and equipping them with the skills to contend with life’s challenges. As global citizens, students are encouraged to develop an attitude of service that will enable them to make a meaningful contribution to the world.

Our values

Integrity

Our School motto ‘Hold Fast To That Which Is Good’ underpins the moral and ethical principles by which we operate. We prize consistency of values and actions and are committed to always acting in a socially responsible and virtuous manner for the greater good of our community.

Personal Excellence

We inspire and support all learners to develop their natural gifts and to become lifelong learners. We encourage our community to understand that potential is best achieved through self reflection and the commitment to hard work. The School looks for opportunities to acknowledge individual improvement and personal best as well as celebrating those who achieve at the highest level.

Stewardship

As custodians of the School we are entrusted with the health and wellbeing of our community. Sound principles of leadership and governance underpin all that we do in striving to ensure the prosperity and longevity of our school for the benefit of current and future generations. In enacting our stewardship, we choose service to our community over self interest.

Coeducational Learning

We are proudly coeducational. We offer a diverse, vibrant and challenging learning environment which promotes equality and fairness of opportunity. We believe that an integrated, coeducational approach best serves Australian society by promoting mutually respectful interactions in a safe, secure and rewarding environment.

Community spirit

We are a community in which a sense of affiliation and connectedness flourishes. We are proud of our culture that is underpinned by acceptance, friendship and interdependence. An ethic of service abounds in our School family which helps account for the commonplace, selfless, individual and community actions that go to enriching the lives of others.

Christian Faith

The School is founded on the Anglican tradition through which we are guided by God’s love and grace. Students are encouraged to explore the spiritual dimensions of their lives and to embrace Christian principles. We are a diverse and inclusive community which welcomes and respects the beliefs of all faiths.
