Respect for others, the environment and oneself - John 13: 34-35, Ephesians 6: 1-3

Resilience - the courage to take risks, accept challenges (tika/pono) and stand strong (kia kaha) for what is just and right (Joshua 1:9 & Luke 11:9), facing challenges and setbacks with courage, faith and a growth mindset

Reverence - special respect for God in all aspects of school, church, home and parish community, shown through ritual and cultivating inner stillness (Hebrews 12:88, Colossians 3:12)

Relationships - with each other, ourselves and God, striving always to make good connections between people (Matthew 7:12, John: 4:19, Proverbs 17:17)
