The Special Character of McAuley High School
- school systems of pastoral care which value each person as an individual creation of God, with great worth
- the Religious Education programme, which is compulsory at all levels of the school
- prayer at the beginning and end of each day
- class Masses and other liturgies
- retreats - a day of reflection for each year level
- outreach groups such as the Young Vinnies and Amnesty International
- fundraising to help the less fortunate
- whole school celebration of Eucharist for special days such as Dedication, Mercy and Thanksgiving.
In our school we choose to live these values by
- respecting the dignity of persons not for what they have or what they can offer us in return, but simply because they are person.
- Helping to remove barriers that keep people from achieving their full participation in society
- Collaborating with others as equals
- Demonstrating fairness and modeling justice in all our practices
- Celebrating and developing the gifts and talents of each person
- Respecting and nourishing our environment
- Creating a spirit of hospitality by acknowledging and supporting others
