OUR CORE VALUES @ SALC Making Connections SERVICE

Making Connections SERVICE

Service – ‘The Spirit of Selflessness

Service involves selfless giving and making a difference in the lives of others by identifying and responding to their needs, and carrying out that service without expecting recognition or reward. At St Andrews an ethic of service abounds which helps account for the commonplace, selfless, individual and community actions that go to enriching the lives of others.

OUR CORE VALUES @ SALC Making Connections GROWTH

Making Connections GROWTH

Growth – ‘The Spirit of Character’

A St Andrews Education is an education that focuses on developing the whole child -academically, culturally, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.  Our task is to develop learners, to foster growth, and to form character. At St Andrews we strive to intentionally develop young men and women who are caring, compassionate, ethical, moral, resilient, courageous, disciplined and respectful. It is a school that encourages its young people to value participation in a broad range of activities across an array of human endeavours, and in doing so helps them to discover who and whose they are, so that they may find meaning and purpose in their lives. The formation of character, then, at St Andrews is a part of every child’s experience so that they learn ‘to act justly, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with their God’.

Luke 2:40 ‘And the child increased in wisdom and in stature and in favour with God and man’.

We are committed to the pursuit of the highest levels of personal attainment in all aspects of education – academic, pastoral and co-curricular.

People bring their gifts, talents and abilities to fruition by striving to achieve their Personal Best, giving careful attention to every task, relationship, and interaction. When we strive for Personal Bests, self-discipline, hard work, persistence, resilience and tenacity in achieving goals are demonstrated. We strive to be the best we can be, not just for ourselves alone, but to make a difference in the world.

OUR CORE VALUES @ SALC Making Connections FAITH

Making Connections FAITH

Faith – ‘The Spirit of Hope

St Andrews, as a school of the Lutheran Church is a Christian School. It is a school where the Christian Faith is central to its life and work. We look to the risen Jesus, who is the ‘way, truth and life’. Faith enables us to look forward with expectation and confidence, placing our trust in God’s provision of the things we need to handle all kinds of situations and events that occur. Faith is open to all possibilities and not limited by what we might wish for. Faith allows God to define our lives, and each person is called to respond by loving God and others as themselves.

2 Corinthians 5:7 – ‘For we live by faith, not by sight’

OUR CORE VALUES @ SALC Making Connections COMMUNITY

Making Connections

COMMUNITY

Community – ‘The Spirit of Belonging and Care’

St Andrews is a community in which we experience a shared sense of belonging, identity and connectedness. It is underpinned by respect, acceptance, inclusion and interdependence. Belonging to the St Andrews community confers responsibilities, as well as rights, and so we work and serve together for the common good. Living in and building community means that we treat people with the love, respect and concern they deserve as a child of God. When we practise care, we value the whole person, and show that the person really matters to us and our community.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 – ‘Encourage one another and build up one another’

Learning – ‘The Spirit of Inquiry

Learning is the primary purpose of the College, and as such the seeking of knowledge, reason, wisdom and truth is core to a St Andrews Education. We believe the joy and challenge of ongoing learning is fundamental to life, and encourage inquiry and curiosity. Each member of our community is charged with the responsibility to learn to their fullest potential, and is called to be a lifelong learner.
