Veritas in caritate (Truth in charity)
Our mission is to empower boys from Grade 00 to Grade 12 to achieve academic and personal excellence within our nurturing Catholic Day and Boarding School community. We instil unwavering values and equip them to be active, influential citizens, fostering positive change in local and global communities.
Our values
Our values are centered on Christ
We prioritise community and family as they sustain our boys’ lives and our school, and form the bedrock of a well-rounded education through a strong sense of support and togetherness.
We nurture academic excellence and the wellbeing of the whole person in mind, body, heart and soul, emphasising the importance of maintaining life balance.
We encourage active involvement in school, we value collaborative relationships with all our stakeholders through which we create an environment conducive to success.
Rooted in unwavering faith, we embody Christ’s love and compassion, upholding moral standards of honesty, responsibility and accountability.
We aim for educational excellence, nurturing curiosity, critical thinking and leadership, empowering students to make a positive impact locally and globally.
We honour our rich traditions while embracing innovation; we foster an environment where the wisdom of the past meets the possibilities of the future.
We use the beatitudes – the series of blessings declared by Jesus during His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 – as a framework for our gospel-based approach and strive to develop healthy habits of mind, heart, body and soul in our boys.
