As an independent Catholic school, our aim is to provide an enriched, holistic education based on Gospel values, where the spirituality of each person is nurtured in an environment where life, faith, family, excellence and diversity are celebrated. By recognising each child's potential, we aspire to produce students who are meaningful contributors to a world requiring social advocacy, compassion, tolerance and innovative thinking. Ethos is significant to Catholic schools and operates from the very centre of everything encompassing our college community. Its primary function is to act as a custodian to all who work within the walls of CBC St John's Parklands. It is how we ... Greet each other in the mornings. Address one another in class and on the playground. Manage our classrooms, behave in class and keep our learning space tidy, calm and conducive to learning. Relate to each other as teachers, students and parents. Organise our structures to reflect the democratic and inclusive nature of the school. Develop and implement our policies to enable everybody to reach their full potential.
