Our Values

Our college values underpin every aspect of our daily work at school. Our values guide our behaviours, support our choices and help us build strong social relationships with each other.

Our college values are embedded within our Positive Behaviour Supports and ARC, our whole school pastoral care program.

We value hard work and effort. We are committed to learning. We set high expectations for ourselves and others.

I will show aspiration by

  • Arriving on time to class with the expected equipment
  • Trying my best and attempting all tasks
  • Maintaining my focus and using my time well
  • Asking for help when I need it
  • Meeting deadlines and submitting tasks on time
  • Having a growth mindset

We build respectful relationships. We respect ourselves and value diversity. We care for the environment.

I will show respect by

  • Showing gratitude and courtesy
  • Acting safely and looking out for others
  • Being mindful of what others need to learn
  • Allowing others to learn effectively
  • Listening to, and hearing others
  • Including others
  • Valuing others’ differences
  • Taking care of my own and other people’s belongings

We participate in, and contribute to, the school and wider community. We forge strong connections with our wider community.

I will contribute by

  • Participating as fully as possible
  • Fairly dividing labour efforts
  • Playing my part in maintaining a clean and safe work environment
  • Actively contributing to activities
  • Encouraging others
  • Being helpful to others
