- To develop a social awareness and concern for others, promote citizenship and equip children with the life-skills they need.
- To develop a community spirit.
- To develop a collaborative community where positive attitudes, relationships and role-models as well as mutal support and respect are valued, and high standards of behaviour are demanded.
- To develop a sense of reverence, appreciation, awe and wonder about the world.
- To accept responsibility by making a personal commitment to an individual group or group.
