We will build a safe, purposeful and respectful school community which restores and sustains relationships, promoting personal excellence for all. 

We will accompany ākonga as they grow to be people of competence, compassion, commitment and conscience, ready to 'go and set the world on fire'.

St Ignatius of Loyola
