Values Statement
St John's College is a Catholic learning community established by the Good Samaritan Sisters in the Benedictine Tradition. In a spirit of faith, hope and love, we strive to develop confident, reflective and compassionate young people who are committed to transforming our world through example, service and leadership. We believe all members of our community are 'called to be Neighbour to all' and the 12 Samaritan values illustrated through our Good Samaritan parable are the pillars on which our school is built. These values are: Hospitality, Balance, Community, Listening, Prayer, Peace, Healing, Word of God, Stewardship, Humility, Partnership and Compassion. As an inclusive and authentic Catholic community, we constantly strive to develop the whole student; mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The strength of the relationships we share within the College is key to our ability as educators to facilitate the development of respectful, responsible and resilient young people.
St John's College acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land, the Gubi Gubi people, and pay our respects to the elders both past, present and future for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Indigenous Australia. We must always remember this land is, was and always will be traditional Indigenous land.
