THE CATHOLIC PRINCIPLES AND VALUES – A FRAMEWORK FOR LIFE
The following is an excerpt from the document ‘Catholic Principles and Values – A Framework for Life” issued by the Armidale Catholic Schools Office.
“Catholic Principles and Values underpin all we do in Catholic schools. These principles and values are explicitly taught in every subject. They have been chosen so that students in every year level will have a framework to help guide them in life once they leave school. Through the Catholic Principles and Values and their application in every subject, our students will be helped to develop a worldview that focuses on God and God’s desire for all human beings to create a world where everyone is respected and cared for, the environment is managed for the future and resources are used for the benefit of all. It is the explicit teaching of these principles and values that sets our Catholic schools apart.” ( Mr. Christopher Smyth, Director of Schools, Armidale, CSO).
THE FOUR PRINCIPLES are 1: The Primacy of God. 2: Sanctity of Life 3: Fidelity in Relationships 4: The Common Good.
