College Commitment At Hillfield Strathallan College, we value one another as equals, and we honour the humanity of each individual in our community. We believe that by lifting each other up, we give our community more opportunities to grow and flourish. We nurture an atmosphere of mutual respect and kindness, to ensure that our College is a safe and inclusive environment for everyone on our campus at all times.
We conduct ourselves with integrity, both academically and in our relationships with one another. We understand that making mistakes is part of the learning process and that it is our actions after our mistakes that define us. We show determination to learn with joy and live with purpose, in order that we may continue to grow as individuals and as a community, and make a positive difference in the wider world.
College ideals A unique element of our strategic plan renewal is the engagement of all HSC students to define the values that should guide our College community. We believe that living these ideals positions community members to be well-rounded leaders with a sense of purpose.
