Our Values
Varsity College has a balanced philosophy which places an emphasis on putting students first and maximising their potential around four pillars of success – academic excellence, performing arts, sporting excellence and community involvement. The four sub-schools generate a supportive environment appropriate for different stages of development. This enables all children to learn with confidence and encourage the development of values that will apply to all aspects of life beyond school.
At Varsity College, a strong values framework guides our actions and relationships in the pursuit of providing the best environment for learning and interacting with each other. It is based on an embedded TRAKS model which features strongly on our middle and senior campus, encouraging Tolerance, Respect, Acceptance, Kindness and Support in all that we do.
