Core Values

The Clarendon community is diverse, comprising thousands of students, families, teachers, alumni and staff with different backgrounds, beliefs, experiences and personalities. What connects us is a shared experience, and our shared values.

Learning: Be open

Value learning, remain curious and view challenges as opportunities for growth and improvement.

Effort: Be persistent

Demonstrate effort, perseverance and a commitment to continual improvement of themselves and others.

Wellbeing: Be balanced

Support personal and collective wellbeing through care, kindness and healthy boundaries.

Community: Be part of it

Contribute positively to an inclusive, connected community built on collaboration and belonging.

Responsibility: Be the answer

Act responsibility, honour commitments and recognise the impact of individual actions on the wider community.

At the end of their school experience, as students stand on the threshold of their future, Clarendon’s values can continue to guide them. They can be curious enough to keep learning, persistent enough to overcome setbacks, balanced enough to look after themselves and committed enough to contribute to their communities. They can be responsible enough to become part of the solution, wherever life takes them.
