Grounded in our Catholic identity, faith is at the core of everything we do. We foster a deep sense of spirituality, encouraging students to develop a personal relationship with God and live out their faith in their daily lives. We provide opportunities for prayer, reflection and participation in religious activities, nurturing the spiritual growth of our students.
We honour and embrace the rich traditions that have shaped over school community since 1893. We recognise the importance of heritage, history and the values passed down through generations. Our commitment to tradition fosters a sense of belonging, respect for the past, and a strong foundation for the future.
We strive for excellence in all aspects of education. Our rigorous academic programs, dedicated faculty and state-of-the-art facilities create an environment where students can reach their full potential. We encourage intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and a commitment to lifelong learning.
We believe that education should be a joyful and transformative experience. We create a positive and inclusive environment where students feel valued, supported and inspired. Through a balance of academic rigour, co-curricular activities and a vibrant school community, we cultivate a sense of joy, enthusiasm, and a love for learning.
We open hearts and minds through quality teaching and learning experiences, so that through critical reflection and engagement, each person is hope-filled and free to build a better world for all.
Our community is accepting and welcoming, fostering right relationships and committed to the common good.
We invite all people into the story of Jesus and strive to make his message of compassion, justice and peace a living reality within our community.
We are committed to justice and peace for all, grounded in a spirituality of action and reflection that calls us to stand in solidarity with those who are marginalised and the Earth itself.
The plan sets out our priorities in the key focus areas of faith, life and culture; teaching and learning; pastoral care and wellbeing; community; staff organisation and development; and a sustainable and financially viable future.
