We strive to create a culture underpinned by our diverse and inclusive care for our community - students, parents, carers, staff, alumni, and neighbours - and by an appreciation of the importance of service. The College is supported by a strong sense of integrity, respect, fairness and responsibility. Collaboration and support are also key, so we ensure all staff have the resources available to make the most of every opportunity.
