Study at St Joseph's Institution International
Spirituality, Mutual Respect, Internationalism, Leadership,
Experiences, Service
Spirituality We should: • learn what is true, just, beautiful and good guided by the
Catholic philosophy that finds harmony not contradiction in spirit and matter, faith and reason. • take full advantage of the opportunities provided for prayer
and/or reflection in the school, consistent with the SJI motto of ‘Ora et labora’ (Prayer and Work). • follow one’s own faith whatever it might be. (special provision is
made for children of Catholic faith.)
Mutual respect We should: • treat each other with respect, fairness and kindness; • communicate openly and frankly; • be sensitive to other people’s opinions and aspirations; • make compromises with respect to our own preferences for the sake
of the community; • as leaders make decisions as democratically as possible, through
genuine consultation with all stakeholders, including students, parents, staff and board members.
Internationalism We should: • seek to find out about and understand the cultures of other
community members; • sustain an interest in our own languages and cultures; • exploit, in an educational sense, the resource of cultural
diversity amongst the community and celebrate our diversity; • develop a perspective as global citizens through talks,
discussions and curriculum activities; • avoid prejudice and ensure that our opinions about other
communities are based upon evidence.
Leadership We should: • be willing and equipped to take responsibility and to lead others,
especially in the service of the less fortunate; • develop the capacity to lead through inspiration rather than by
exercising authority.
Experiences We should: • be willing to be taken out of our physical and psychological
‘comfort zone’ through challenging, character building experiences; • expect, as we get older, that the challenges will be more
demanding; • integrate aspects of the formal curriculum into adventurous and
physically stretching expeditions so that we learn in a holistic, cross curricular and unforgettable
way.
Service We should: • be generally helpful to everyone around us; • develop skills and habits that will enable us to serve the school,
nation and global community; • offer practical support to the less fortunate members of these
communities; • serve the needs of future generations by reducing our school
community’s use of water and energy, recycling unwanted products whenever possible and planting trees and
preserving all species on campus. Similar contributions should also be made at a national
and global level.
