De La Salle College Malvern

Guiding Principles

 

• The Lasallian spirit should be present in everything we do. We should keep in mind our special identity at all times: awareness of God, brothers/sisters to one another, Jesus present in us and service to the poor.

• We should live our lives following the example Jesus set. In everything we do, we should practise fairness, prayer and service to each other.

• All of our community, students, teachers and parents alike, should have respect for each other so that our school is a satisfying place in which to work.

• Everybody should try to create a cooperative atmosphere at our school where good learning can occur.

• Each person should be allowed to be different. A person’s special talents should be encouraged and valued, so that they might advance us all. We should work together, share, and never tease each other.

• Everyone has a right to feel safe. No one should have to fear being bullied or teased. No one should be afraid of taking a risk, being different, or speaking his/her mind.

• We should encourage ourselves and others to seek success in our/their talents. There needs to be a broad range of subjects and extra activities so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve.

• We should care for one another, so that when we have a problem, we should feel confident enough to share it with a trusted friend.

• We must all ‘forgive and forget’. Everyone deserves a second chance.

• At our school, people should learn from both success and failure - this allows for personal growth.
