Join us in building a future of courage, service, and integrity.

‘Tis here we learn to live!

Honour

The quality of knowing and doing what is morally right including taking responsibility and owning up when asked to. People of honour are held in high esteem by the community as those who can be trusted to do what is right, despite peer and social pressures. Honour relates more to how other people perceive you.

Integrity

Having strong moral principles that are consistently lived under all circumstances. People of integrity are honest and righteous, having an unwavering moral compass. Integrity is purely a personal quality and has to do with personal beliefs rather than perceptions of others.

Loyalty

Being supportive and true to the school, what it stands for and to those in the school community. Recognising faults and constructively criticising does not imply disloyalty. Blind allegiance is discouraged but devotion, emotional attachment and a sense of belonging is nurtured.

Respect

Having exceptionally good manners, so much so that this is commented upon by the school community, visitors to the school and the general public. Acting in a manner that is respectful to all, with consideration for others and their points of view. This includes respect for self, others, the school, the environment and those in authority.
