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.
