St Augustine's College Kyabram

From the Principal

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

 

You may recall that earlier this year, we underwent the National School Improvement and Catholic Identity reviews. The feedback from these reviews provided us valuable insights into our area of strengths and growth. I believe it was also a wonderful opportunity to reevaluate our Vision Statement, Mission Statement and Graduate Outcomes, which guide our College towards spiritual development and educational excellence. 

 

Our current Vision Statement, Mission Statement and Graduate Outcomes were developed in 2015 and have been the pillars of our College identity. However, the world has changed significantly since then and we believe it was time to refresh these statements to align with our evolving aspirations and the dynamic needs of our students.

 

To achieve this, I invited parents to play an integral role in this process. Your perspectives, insights and aspirations for St Augustine’s College are of utmost importance. We were excited to collaborate with you to ensure that our new Vision Statement, Mission Statement and Graduate Outcomes truly reflect the values and goals of the entire community and I am thankful for those parents who completed the surveys on our Vision, Mission and Graduate Outcomes. 

 

Based on feedback from parents and staff, I am delighted to announce our new Identity, Vision and Graduate Outcome Statements.
