Jesuit Educational Philosophy

n

Since the launch of their first school in 1548,



the Jesuits have believed that a high quality education is the best path to meaningful lives of leadership and service.

n

Jesuits have understood that the liberal arts, the natural and social sciences, and the performing arts, linked with all other branches of knowledge, are a powerful means of developing leaders with the potential to influence and transform society.

n

The Jesuit Education Ministry includes Jesuit owned and operated schools, university colleges and chaplaincies, affiliated lgnatian schools, and the intellectual apostolate.

n

A Jesuit education has a transparent purpose: the development of a well-rounded Christian person of competence, conscience and compassion who will be of service in the world and has the generosity to make a contribution.

n

Historically, Jesuit education has been successful across many cultures because it is adapted to the environment of the learner. Today Jesuit education continues to embrace change in appropriate ways, ensuring that a Jesuit education meets the needs of modern day learners, and develops learners who themselves will strive to contribute meaningfully and to excel.

College Vision & Mission

Our Vision

n

At Saint Ignatius College our purpose is to form young people of competence, conscience and compassion.

n

Mission Statement

n

Saint Ignatius College is a Catholic community that is learning-centred and supportive in the Ignatian tradition.

The College is committed to the education of the whole person and the development of young adults of competence, conscience and compassion who will be of service in the community.

n

Striving for the Magis

n

Ignatius in his writings calls us to strive for the 'Magis' - 'the more'. The more is a key to making choices among competing values. The entire life of Ignatius Loyola was a search for the Magis – that is, the more universal good, the more effective means,



the more generous service of others, and the ever greater glory of God. Magis energises us for action.

n

n

n
- Provide opportunities for students, staff, parents and alumni to experience a sense of belonging to a faith-filled Christian community and to commit themselves to being of service to others
n
