PARENT INFORMATION EVENING
JESUS
“….use whatever gift you have received, to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” Peter 4:10
Jesus was a person of service who served the community through compassionate relationships that empowered others. ▪ Faith: FAITH-FULL – Have faith in God (love). ▪ Relationships: BROTHERHOOD – Stand with All our Brothers ▪ Margins: SELF – LESS – It’s not all about me. An Ambrose Treacy Gentleman is a faithful servant who builds relationships that empower the marginalised.

We feel that the College’s Formation Program is created to help guide our students through their middle years at school especially in the transition from Junior School. Learning: Students learn skills in planning, prioritising, organising and being independent. Leadership: Students develop leadership capacity that contributes positively to their sense of self identity. Service: Students put themselves in the place of others working to develop empathy. Formation is a holistic approach utilising curriculum time and pastoral time. Signum Fidei
