Columba works hard to establish, evaluate and maintain a high standard of School Wide Expectations for all it's staff and students. Through our whole school
approach to positive behaviour (WSAPB), we aim to engage our school students in their learning, supporting them to see themselves as successful learners who achieve their personal best.
At Columba we know that when all members of the school community work collaboratively and each child has the opportunity to fully participate and engage in the process of learning, success will follow.
Following our school Mission and Vision Statement, we will instil in all our students a mindset that they can achieve together through 5 core values being
Respect

Generosity

Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. - LUKE 6:37–38
Fairness

Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times! - Psalm 106:3
