The dignity and respect for every person underpins all we do working collaboratively to assist each member of the community to achieve their hopes, dreams and aspirations. With a strong commitment to Social Justice, we aim to inspire our leaders of tomorrow. For over 25 years, we have strengthened our connections with Timor Leste through the support of student groups, fundraising and donations. The Timor Leste Project builds lasting friendships and develops transformational leadership qualities that are transferable. Our students never see a need without doing something. Catholic Regional College Sydenham is a community within itself, however, we also understand the broader picture that is needed to prepare students for the world beyond the classroom. As such, we must be community minded and, therefore, connected to the broader community.

As a community in Christ we commit ourselves to the values of self-disciple, care, hospitality, endeavour, dignity, compassion, integrity, excellence, leadership, courage, commitment, forgiveness, respect, creativity, stewardship, faith, service, responsibility, justice, reconciliation and empowerment.

These are all important pillars of our students’ education journey in partnering with families, friends and the business community connected to the College. The College’s aim is to educate the whole person in order to best prepare students for all aspects of life post-senior education.
