The Meaning of our iconic ‘A’

Faith
Core Values

Faith: Living our Anglican Identity and teaching Gospel values

Our value of faith refers to trust in God and in God’s promises; to a belief in something greater than ourselves. In AngliSchools, faith is incarnational, grounded in the belief that in Jesus we can encounter the living God. Faith is invitational, as we invite our students to deepen their own Christian conviction or plumb the depths of whatever faith tradition they come from or profess. Faith is interactive, in constant conversation with those of other faiths, or of no faith at all. Through chapel services and other opportunities, students interact with Anglican Identity and Gospel values. They are opened to the possibility of engaging with God, and can learn the value of stillness, silence, and reverence in a well-balanced life.

Inclusion
Core Values

Inclusion: Promoting diversity, celebrating difference, welcoming all

Our schools are diverse communities. AngliSchools welcomes people of all denominations and of all faiths and none. We provide an inclusive, caring, Anglican education by telling a particular faith story while ensuring that the stories of others will also be heard, explored and respected. Our genuine celebration of difference includes welcoming and fully involving students, staff and parents regardless of their race or religion, gender or sexual orientation, age or ability. We see this promotion of diversity and inclusion as positive and enriching of a true sense of our shared humanity.

Respect
Core Values

Respect: Compassionately respecting self, others and our world

The two great commandments, in which Jesus summed up the essence of the Christian faith, call us to love God and to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. Our schools thrive on the outworking of this through the value of respect that embraces self, others, and the world we share. This includes giving due regard to the full humanity of every person. It is lived out through individual self-esteem and acceptance, the honouring of all in the school community, and care for the environment, both local and global.

Excellence
Core Values

Excellence: Pursuing high personal standards in all endeavours

Anglican schools have long maintained that the intellect is a gift from God, hence our reputation worldwide for the pursuit of academic excellence through exemplary models of teaching and learning. In the larger context of what makes us both human and children of God, AngliSchools also seeks excellence holistically in our wellbeing programs, our worship practices, and our service initiatives. We are learning communities who seek wisdom and new discovery in our intellectual pursuits, and together we endeavour to be our best in the classroom, the chapel, and the community.
