THE BIG PICTURE According to Mark, the program aligns seamlessly with the College’s co-curricular vision. “All that we do will focus on providing benefit to the boys and to add value to their lives, by encouraging them to develop integrity, ingenuity and creative spirit by being involved in a wide range of co-curricular activities offered throughout the year,” he said.
The co-curricular vision statement asks students consistently to drive themselves at all levels: • To search for the rules that make good self, on each boy’s own terms, and be governed by those rules • To find, name, challenge and dismiss external expectations TO CHARGE EACH BOY TO CRAFT “THE MAN IN THE MIRROR”
TO DISTINGUISH THE CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAM AT BBC BY LEADING FROM THE GROUND UP TO BE AN EXEMPLAR IN LEARNING, TRAINING AND PERFORMING THE PROCESS PERFECTLY
• To reflect on performance in and contribution to crew, team, club and College honestly, regularly, gently and fairly
• To locate and pursue actions which inspire dedication, conversation, commitment and care of all members of the College • To impress peers, coaches, teachers and parents with an understated and uncompromising attention to detail and effectiveness
• To apply the goal setting skills learned in the Co-curricular Program to all other ambitions and endeavours • To be relentless and unforgiving in driving towards our collective success • To challenge barriers to performance quality and commit absolutely to positive transformation
