Canberra College is a diverse community that values learning, innovation, opportunity and excellence.
Canberra College expresses its values in four main statements:
- Value Learning - all students and staff are learners and value this primary function of the school
- Celebrate Diversity - staff and students demonstrate acceptance and tolerance of each individual and promote inclusivity at the college
- Embrace Opportunity - there is individualised and collective opportunity available to staff and students who work to take advantage of these, and
- Pursue Excellence - habitually strive to improve and develop as individuals and as a collective.
In demonstrating the college values, we will……
- Value the contributions of others
- Relate to each other in a fair, decent and professional manner
- Be open to change and innovation
- Focus on learning and be habitual learners
- Work with one another to reach shared goals, and
- Look for ways to continuously improve our outcomes.
Canberra College maintains high expectations of all its students in terms of academic performance, behaviour and service to the wider community. Our student body is characterised by diversity in academic interests and cultural backgrounds. We cater for the full academic range of students and seek to set them on the pathway to achieving their goals.
GSA Group
The mission of the Gender Sexuality Alliance group is to provide support for Canberra College members of the R A I N B O W community and their allies. By giving our community a safe space to express their ideas, network, socialise and participate in events that are important to them we aim to support students in having a voice at a level of involvement they are comfortable with. Our group values are kindness, respect, friendship, equality and being non-judgemental. We meet officially one lunchtime a week.
