• We believe in an accountable, democratically elected government.
• We respect and observe the rule of law, and believe that no person is above the law.
• We believe in equal rights for all before the law, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender or other attributes.
• We believe not only in the freedom of religion, and the need to practice tolerance and understanding of others’ beliefs.
• We believe in the value of freedom of speech and freedom of association, but also acknowledge that we have the responsibility not to abuse this freedom.
• We believe in the values of openness and tolerance, and value and respect all members of the College community regardless of background.
We are inspired by a Franciscan way of knowing Jesus. St Francis of Assisi invites us to imitate Jesus who took the side of the vulnerable and drew all into a shared humanity through inclusion and peace. Francis teaches us to delight in God’s gifts to us; shared, grown and sustained for all. Created in God’s image, we are called to see the face of God in others. Drawn from the Gospels, we profess the Franciscan values of peace, justice, simplicity and compassion, such that “All may be One” (John 17:21).
We value Helene de Chappotin’s vision for education; that learning is for fullness of life for all. Learning excellence at Ave Maria is contemporary and collaborative, rigorous and relevant. Every member of our community contributes to a learning culture of endeavour and excellence. Together, we develop a love for learning and a readiness to contribute to the world.
We are strengthened by St Clare of Assisi, a woman of firm faith, commitment and sisterly love. The young women of Ave Maria College are educated to develop a strong sense of self, sisterly love for others and generous action in the world. We come to know ourselves in our relationships with each other. This is central to our understanding of wellbeing, resilience and growth.
Together, we strive for Ave Maria College to be a learning community of Truth and Love
My role at Ave Maria College as the Executive Deputy Principal is to work collaboratively with staff to ensure learning success for every student. This involves ensuring the educational aims of our College are met, in line with our Strategic Planning process and our Annual Action Plan. My priority is to lead the implementation and ongoing review of the Ave Maria College Charter for Education, driving excellence in learning and teaching at every year level. I am firmly committed to Catholic girls’ education and developing the skills and knowledge in our students to maximise their learning opportunities.
I bring to Ave Maria College my expertise in leading learning, enhancing pedagogical practice and innovation in education. I am passionate about empowering our students to achieve a love of learning to become independent and adaptable learners for the 21st century. Our collective mission is to inspire our students to be critical thinkers and risk takers in extending their skills to adapt to an ever-changing world and to become responsible leaders of the future.
