Our Values

Our values, which are rooted in our Catholic heritage, serve as the cornerstone of our identity and define us as a community. They reflect our commitment to excellence, inclusivity, integrity, care, and service, and guide us in our pursuit of making a positive contribution to society.

The embodiment of our values in our day-to-day working lives is more important than ever, as we embark on a period of significant organisational change. Within this context, it is important that we maintain and uphold our core values and stay focused on the strong sense of collegiality and solidarity that has helped us achieve success together as an institution for over 50 years.

We value the wellbeing, dignity, and contribution of each person by nurturing a community where students and staff can reach their full potential.

We promote the Common Good by widening opportunity and participation, forming outward partnerships, and by making a positive contribution to society.

We uphold truth, honesty, and integrity, fostering personal and collective accountability by stewarding our resources well and cultivating an awareness of our responsibility for the environment and the communities around us.

We demonstrate our inclusivity by promoting equality in the opportunities we offer, in the right of everyone to contribute and by cultivating a safe community rooted in a culture of mutual respect.

We aspire to stimulate keen scholarship and the pursuit of academic excellence by providing the highest standards of teaching, learning and research, and by continuously improving on our performance.
