We,
the community of St Francis College, Crestmead shall reflect in every aspect of
our lives the values, beliefs and traditions of our Catholic faith.
We
will strive for inner peace and freedom from fear through prayer and
reflection. We will nurture a climate which encourages wholeness, esteem, hope,
care, compassion and understanding. We will accept each other as individuals
with unique talents and gifts. We endeavour at all times to be responsible models
for justice and the Franciscan spirit of poverty.
Parents
and teachers will work together to foster in our students a desire to learn and
encourage the development of basic skills necessary to achieve their full
potential in an ever-changing world. Students will be encouraged to make
decisions and commitments which will help them grow spiritually,
intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially.
We
believe that God has given us the responsibility of stewardship over Creation.
It is the work of students, staff and parents to contribute to the protection
and promotion of natural and human welfare in order to advance the creative
activity of God.
With St Francis and St Clare,
in simplicity and harmony we will "follow the teachings of our Lord Jesus
Christ and walk in His Footsteps".
