Columban Values
The pupils and staff of the College have adopted the following 5 principles that we think best sum up the ethos and values for which Columbans should strive:
We build others up with the words that we use and we don’t spread gossip
We look for opportunities to do acts of kindness for others
We always try to see the best in other people
We seek to understand the lives of those around us and to ‘walk in their shoes’
We celebrate each other’s achievements and share their disappointments
We are slow to judge and quick to forgive
People are different from each other in many ways, but of equal value
We show respect to all members of the community and celebrate our common humanity
All should be made to feel welcome at St. Columba’s College
We take responsibility for our own work and our own behaviour
We are responsible for the well-being of our school community
We are responsible for the future of the world that we all live in and the sustainability of its resources
We work hard and take full advantage of our opportunities
We try to develop resilience and not give up at the first failure
We always strive to be the best version of ourselves
Matthew 7:12 – ‘So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.’
