- We are committed to provide a Christ centered quality education for young Australians where the gospel of Jesus Christ informs all learning, teaching and human relationships.
- We are committed to growing a caring community of lifelong learners through an integrated framework of Christian attitudes and relationships, with each child knowing they are a special child of God.
- We are committed to the protection of all children from all forms of child abuse and have zero tolerance for child abuse.
