Assistant Principal - Mission
At our College, we believe that positive behaviour is more than just following rules —it’s about creating a community where every student can flourish. Positive behaviour reflects actions, attitudes, and conduct that are constructive, socially acceptable, and supportive of both individual wellbeing and the health of our College environment. It’s the choices we make that make our school a place where people feel safe, respected, and welcome.
Kindness remains at the heart of our culture. When students show respect, compassion, and empathy, they not only meet the standards of socially acceptable conduct but also help build a sense of connection and trust within our community. Kindness can be as simple as sitting with someone alone at lunch, helping a friend carry books, or saying “thanks” to your teacher. These small acts might not seem like much, but they make a big difference and show others that they matter.
Resilience plays a vital role in constructive action. By persevering through challenges and approaching setbacks as opportunities for growth, our students demonstrate the determination that helps them achieve their goals and inspire others. Maybe it’s studying hard after a disappointing test result, trying again after not making the team, or pushing through nerves before a big performance.
Advocacy reflects a proactive approach to making positive change. Speaking up for fairness, standing by peers, and championing causes that benefit the wider community show courage and a commitment to justice.
A sense of belonging is strengthened when students manage emotions effectively and support one another. Emotional regulation allows for calm, respectful responses to conflict and fosters an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued.
By weaving together kindness, resilience, advocacy, and belonging, our students model the Mission of Catholic Education—living with respect, love, and service. Positive behaviour isn’t about being perfect—it’s about consistently making choices that help our community grow stronger. This behaviour doesn’t just improve our College; it prepares our young people to contribute positively to the world beyond our gates.
