Ethos

Our ethos seeks to help establish a context for enlightened and effective management, and to help build an appropriate working and learning environment for the College community. It seeks to ensure that students are treated as mature individuals and are allocated as much responsibility as is possible and practicable, including an active role in decisions that affect them.

In addition to being provided with the best possible learning experiences, students are to be given every opportunity to develop personal and social skills and, generally, to derive the maximum benefits from their College experience.
