Respect – for yourself, teachers, peers, parents and members of the community

Courtesy - for everyone you interact with

Pride – in yourself and the way you represent the school

Responsibility – for your actions

Integrity – honesty in your dealings

Tolerance – for others, regardless of their background, age, race, gender, sexuality, religion or race; and

Inclusion – of all those who decide to come to Holy Trinity and those in the community
