Truth
It is an honest and genuine quest in the pursuit of knowledge; it is the art of guiding students to become critical thinkers by rejecting the trivial in order to focus on things that are worthwhile. It is the cultivation of an attitude that appreciates the value of learning, conveys the excitement that learning brings and fosters the desire for its pursuit. It is the application of resources in the stimulation of intellectual curiosity.

Justice
It is to be witness to the living out of justice in all school relationships and transactions to ensure that the conditions for learning are conducive to the development of every person fully according to her ability. It is to foster in the students a sense of fairness, a compassion for the weak and the less endowed, so that students too participate in each other’s growth and well-being.
Freedom
It is the ‘freeing of oneself’ from self-interest, from selfishness, from captive addiction to the shallow and inconsequential – so as to be free to make discerning choices and to reach out in sincerity and honesty to others. It is the cultivation of a personal disposition which will ‘free oneself’ to be of genuine service in the development and growth of others, particularly the less able and more vulnerable.

Love
It is the all-embracing virtue which binds and integrates everything – the ultimate glue! It is the underlying inspiration that prompts students and the school community to rise above themselves and to reach out in compassion to the wider community. St Paul – “Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not jealous, it does not put on airs. Love is never rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not prone to anger, neither does it brood over injuries. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong, but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to Love’s forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure. Love never fails” {St Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians 13:4-8}
