Respect

We believe that all humans are made in the image and likeness of God and, therefore, everyone is entitled to be treated with love, dignity and respect.

At St John Bosco we foster a spirit of mutual understanding whereby all members of our community feel valued, nurtured and allowed to flourish.

We are in inclusive community and provide opportunities for dialogue and encounter with other world faiths. We respect our common home; our curriculum provides all students with the tools to address social injustice and environmental issues, so that they can become advocates for change.

How is this evident within the college?

• RUAH (Salesian Values of Respect, Understanding, Affection and Humour)

• The relationships established between staff and students.

• Clear behaviour systems and expectations that model respectful behaviour and interactions.

• RIP & PIP (Reprimand in private and praise in public)

• An inclusive community that supports students and families of other world faiths.

• Caring for the building and our school environment.

• An environment where people are treated with dignity.

• In lessons, we are respectful of each other’s opinions.
