Our Values
The purpose of Catholic education is to liberate all by living the Gospel truth of love. In developing the pastoral academic wellbeing of our students, we embrace four
key values;
Generosity – we reach out to others
Compassion – we respond with forgiveness
Wisdom – we use our learning to make responsible choices
Justice – we act to remove barriers for the dignity of all.
As Assumption College we follow the Marian traditions of the Church honouring Mary as mother of Jesus and mother to the Church. Our Lady brings the truth of Christ to us and is a model for love; to open our heart to the word of God, to teach of generosity, compassion, wisdom and justice as Jesus did.
