At Stretton State College, we are committed to building a vibrant and inclusive community where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to achieve their full potential. Our core SPIRIT values—Sincerity, Perseverance, Integrity, Responsibility and Respect, Inclusivity, and Thoughtfulness—are the foundation of our culture and guide us in all that we do.
Sincerity is the values of honesty and teamwork. We work together to build strong, authentic connections that foster trust and collaboration. As a school community, we value genuine relationships, where every individual contributes to creating an environment embedded in respect and sincerity.
Perseverance reflects our collective commitment to resilience and self-determination. We encourage each other to push through challenges, knowing that strength of character and a never-give-up attitude are keys to success. At Stretton State College, we embrace setbacks as opportunities to grow, always striving for progress, no matter the obstacles.
Integrity is the standards of truthfulness and reliability. We hold ourselves and others accountable, maintaining trust through honest, reliable actions. In every interaction, we aim to be models of integrity, upholding our commitments and demonstrating support to one another.
Responsibility and Respect embody the behaviours of ownership and consideration. We take responsibility for our actions and strive to lead by example, treating others with kindness and respect. Our community thrives on positive behaviours and a shared commitment to making choices that benefit both ourselves and the broader community.
Inclusivity celebrates the diversity that makes our community unique. We embrace people of all backgrounds—regardless of race, religion, gender, disability or socioeconomic status—and work to create an environment where everyone feels a strong sense of belonging. At Stretton State College, we believe that our differences strengthen us and make us more united in our pursuit of excellence.
Thoughtfulness is the spirit of being considerate and compassionate. We treat others as we wish to be treated, offering support and care to those in need. We recognise that small acts of kindness have a profound impact, and we work to foster an environment where everyone is uplifted and respected.
At Stretton State College, we are all committed to learning for a better world. We are striving to strengthen student wellbeing and engagement, ensuring that each individual feels connected, valued, and empowered to contribute. Together, we are focused on nurturing an inclusive community that celebrates the richness of our diversity while preparing students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
