Vision & Values

Our Beliefs, Mission and Values

Respect, Learn, Achieve – Three behaviours, three dimensions, three values that Roxburgh College and its diverse school community strive for and represent.

Our College’s mission is to maximise the academic achievement of each student as well as providing opportunities for their individual and social development by actively promoting a safe and supportive learning environment.

We have a strong commitment to the education of the ‘whole person’.  We know that good schools and good teaching help overcome any disadvantage. Our work is centred on the inclusive partnership of students, staff, parents/carers and key community agents, all working together to meet the needs of our young people. 

We strive to ignite our students’ active participation in the local and broader communities. Our moral purpose is to educate all students, equipping each with attitudes, skills and knowledge so they become valued contributors in an ever-changing world.

 We welcome all students into our ” Roxy Family”, fostering care and attention to Respecting self and others, Learning from each other and Achieving our best.  We promote a culture that celebrates individuality and connections, fostering a sense of belonging and inspiring the pursuit of their potential. We pay attention to our students’ character strengths and encourage critical thinking, self-reflection, self-discipline, self-motivation, empathy and social competency.

Our School Community subscribes to the value of education in building active and informed citizens in an equitable and just environment, characterised by the belief that all learners can succeed and reach their potential.  We believe that learning occurs every day of our life. It is what transforms our existence. It allows our attachment to preferred life pathways that deepen our understanding of self and humanity, always value-adding to our cognitive capability.

 As a school community we are inclusive of all learners. We acknowledge diversity and are responsive to it. Further, we are Respectful, of self and others, co-operative and most importantly, collaborative in our decision making processes.
