Congratulations to all our students and staff for a successful Semester of learning. I have been reading reports and am impressed with the persistence many of our young people are developing, particularly when they are challenged with new and difficult concepts and skills to learn. I reminded students at assembly last week that now is the opportunity for reflection. What sort of learner have I been? How have I contributed to the learning of others? What learner disposition can I focus on next term that will help me continue to achieve?

As we continue to develop our positive climate for learning here at St Eugene, students and staff are challenged regularly to consider how our College values help us determine our words and actions as learners specifically and as we each continue to grow as good people:

Excellence - do the best you can in the most extraordinary way

Community - I am because you are

Dignity - deep respect for yourself and others knowing we are all created in the image and likeness of God

Hope - approach life with a mindset that is positive and enthusiastic about the future

Service - never see a need without doing something about it
