'Students articulate ways they can respond to the Scriptures by using the gifts of the Holy Spirit to live a life of love and service. They recognise responsibility to continue the mission of Jesus by reaching out in love and justice to people. They identify and explain appropriate actions of stewardship of the earth community'.
