Vision & Mission

At Assumption College we are dedicated to educating the whole person - spiritual, intellectual, cultural, social, emotional and physical. Our mission is based on the vision of St. Marcellin Champagnat, the founder of the Marist Brothers, who wanted to "make Jesus Christ known and loved". We are committed to striving for educational excellence in a supportive community environment.

We aim to help our young people to grow to become people of hope and personal integrity. Our commitment to Gospel values and educating for social justice shapes our approach to both our curriculum and our co-curricular programmes. At Assumption we believe in the importance of following Jesus' example of service, and therefore strive to provide the young people in our care with an education that is characterised by a lived experience of Christian values.

Our students are encouraged to be curious and to continually develop their love of learning. Our motto, Quae Supra Quaere, calls us all to "Seek the Things that Are Above". As such, we challenge our young people to be reflective and to question the ever-evolving popular cultures of the day in light of our faith tradition. We nurture all students so that they may identify and develop their individual gifts and talents, and, in the spirit of service, we encourage them to share these gifts and talents with others. We ask our young people to strive to do and to be their best, so that when they leave our gates for the last time as students, they may enter the world as people of dignity, hope, conscience and faith.
