Guiding conceptions for all leadership actions

Having a clear moral purpose; building relationships; understanding and managing change; creating and sharing knowledge; ensuring coherence and alignment of structures

Teaching and learning programs in Catholic schools develop the student as a whole person. Providing opportunities for students to learn successfully, while ensuring their faith development, is the raison d' etre of Catholic schools. Learning is enhanced when teachers work within a positive culture that values learning and the human person, and when teachers have the skills to engage students, cater for their individual differences, and monitor progress towards identified learning outcomes.

Students in Catholic schools aspire towards the transcendent, the mystery or meaning of life, through knowledge gained in an education framework that supports such aspirations.
