Vision and Values

Our Vision 

At St Columba’s, we are a values-led learning community where every child is known, every voice is heard, and every learner is empowered to grow, lead and thrive. Guided by heart, purpose and innovation, we nurture curious minds, compassionate hearts and confident futures.

Through strong relationships, high expectations and meaningful learning experiences, we prepare students not only for the next step in their education—but for life.

Our Mission 

Rooted in Catholic values, we are called to act with compassion, care for creation, and stand with the most vulnerable. We nurture a culture of inclusion, belonging and shared responsibility.

At St Columba’s, it’s our village feel that captures hearts. Families are drawn to the warmth and authenticity they feel the moment they walk through our gates—a sense of community that carries through every classroom and out into the wider world.

                                           Our Values 

At St Columba’s, our values guide how we learn, grow and relate to one another—within our classrooms and beyond. They shape the character of our students and the culture of our school.

Belonging

Curiosity

Integrity

We foster an environment where everyone feels safe, accepted and valued.


Belonging creates the foundation for wellbeing and connection.

It empowers students to be themselves, to contribute meaningfully, and to grow with confidence within a supportive community.

We encourage wonder, questioning and creative thinking.


Curiosity sparks a love of learning, drives innovation, and helps our students engage deeply with the world around them.

We cultivate a mindset that sees challenges as opportunities and inquiry as a lifelong habit.

We lead with honesty, take responsibility, and act with respect.


Integrity means doing what is right, even when it’s not easy.

At St Columba’s, we model strong moral character and help students develop a sense of justice, fairness and ethical awareness.
