The use of the Five Core Principles of a Lasallian School is a principle way to express the lived reality of Lasallian Education.
They are used extensively around the world due to their simplicity and effectiveness in capturing the essence of Lasallian Schools.
Belief in the living presence of God in our world. Prayer and regular reminders of God’s presence is a prevailing spirit of the school. All are taught to discover how God is active in one’s life and to learn to see the world with the “eyes of faith”.
A concerted effort by the school to respect the dignity of all persons.
The school demonstrates sensitivity toward the poor and those suffering from injustices. In general, the community, especially the students, are encouraged to get involved in assisting the marginalised.
An education is provided that prepares students not only for a job and college, but for life. This education advances the students’ abilities to use their talents to critically examine the world, contemporary culture, etc., in light of the message of the Gospels, and to take greater responsibility for their own education.
A united community where diversity is respected, where no one is left out, and everyone finds a place. Individuals within the school community recognise and accept one another’s limitations.
