A Catholic Community committed to education
The college community and its mission of educational service are grounded in the Gospels and therefore are inseparable from a value system that includes:
an acknowledgement of the uniqueness and intrinsic worth of each person;
encouragement and affirmation for all;
concern for the needs and rights of others;
protection for all who are vulnerable in our midst.
Towards this end, a community environment is promoted in order to develop students:
who are motivated to live their lives in accordance with Gospel values;
who are inner-directed and capable of choosing freely in accordance with their conscience;
who will play their full role in the wider community as citizens who are informed, trustworthy, and confident in their responsibilities.
