With Christ as our Model, we will strive, in peace, justice and love, to achieve our Vision by:
interacting together as befits followers of Christ to foster the faith of all members of the community – staff, students and parents;
fostering a warm and caring environment where all individuals are valued and respected for their gifts, capabilities and experiences;
providing all students with opportunities to achieve their potential and enrich their lives by developing curricula that are regularly reviewed to ensure that they are creative, challenging and relevant to the students’ needs;
encouraging parents to participate in those aspects of school life, including pastoral care, policy making, curriculum development and fund-raising , as and when they feel comfortable; empowering all our members for a commitment to shared responsibility, professional development and the maintenance of open channels of communication.

We affirm that Seton College Community is called to be, first and foremost, a community of Faith based upon belief in God and a commitment to Christian living within the College and in the wider community. We believe education in faith should have a central place and we acknowledge the relevance to all areas of learning of the Christian way of life as interpreted in the Catholic tradition. This Christian life is expressed in celebration, prayer, worship, the presence of religious symbols and our dedication to pastoral care and service. Our aim is to assist all to achieve their potential as educated, thoughtful, responsive Christians who will take their place in society and influence it positively. A spirit of mutual trust, sharing and co-operation is central to our life together as we support each other (staff, students and parents) in the spirit of our motto – “Sursum Corda”. The organisation and administration of the College is committed to sharing responsibility, decision-making and all tasks associated with developing school policy and direction where and when appropriate.
