Alongside the developments that we are continuously making to our curriculum; we are focusing upon recognising the learning values or learning behaviours that we expect our students to exhibit in all areas of their learning.
Te hanga tūranga mō te ora
Building Foundations for Life
To support our Vision statement above, these values speak to the foundational approaches to learning and life that we would expect from our students.
From those, to whom much has been given, much will be expected. Luke 12:48
We are incredibly proud of present and past McGlashan men of the College and we know that the following values will put them in good stead to continue to behave according to our special character teachings and to be active contributors to local and global communities.
