OUR CHARTER


vision
Preparing Young Men to take their place in the World

mission statement
pietas, probitas et sapientia
Honesty, Loyalty and Wisdom
Through Quality Education

Loyalty (pietas) The College exists a group of teachers and other staff, students, board members etc, all working for the good of each individual in the group. Each individual in turn, has a duty, an obligation to support the group.  We give loyalty to the group, acceptance of the rules, a contribution to the general good and a feeling of belong and pride.

Honesty (probitas) People cannot get on together without being able to trust the reliability and honesty of others.  In our college community, respect for the rules, for consideration of others, for a sense of right and wrong is expected.

Wisdom (sapientia) covers a range of meanings: good sense, judgement, discretion, prudence and intelligence.  Wisdom is more than knowledge -it is the right use of knowledge.  It shows itself in self-discipline, will never despise an enemy or underrate a friend.  Wisdom civilises -knowledge has no such power
