Our Motto

Centred in Christ.

Our Mission

Ursula Frayne Catholic College is a K-12 co-educational College in the tradition of Catherine McAuley.  Our mission is to empower all students
in the pursuit of excellence in their life long journey.

Our Vision

In accordance with our motto and mission, our vision is to provide a vibrant, innovative and contemporary learning environment that develops
the whole person spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.  We will achieve this by:

  • Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to encourage the formation of students as leaders of Christian virtue, conscience and service within
    the community.
  • Promoting collaboration and partnerships with staff, students, parents and the wider community.
  • Creating a loving community where all may be nurtured and grow in wisdom and love.
  • Embracing diversity and promoting inclusive and tolerant practices.
  • Responding to challenges and changes in our world to continually identify and improve the educational opportunities for our students.
  • Setting high standards in all fields of endeavour.
  • Exercising prudent and effective stewardship of our resources.

Our Core Values

Catherine McAuley, the first Sister of Mercy, made a difference in her time and her influence continues to be felt today.  Her appeal lies in her
faith and confidence, generosity and hospitality, her courage, humanity and that she had the heart to listen and to dare to step out and make a
difference.  We have chosen the following values to enable the Ursula Frayne Catholic College Community to be a part of this Mercy charism.

Compassion

The charism of Mercy is not to just talk about love and compassion, but to do something about helping other people in need.  Compassion is caring and understanding about someone in need or trouble.

Excellence

Excellence is to do your best so that you will make a positive difference in your own and in someone else's life.

Hospitality

Catherine McAuley lived hospitality in such an all-pervasive way as to become almost elusive.  It became part of her until it grew to encompass and embrace all who needed shelter and warmth, dignity and independence, comfort and care, compassion and courage.

Justice

Action today not tomorrow.  Be ready to be open and to respond.  Be aware of others and try to understand how they feel.  Justice begins in our heart and leads to action and justice.  Be fair in everything you do.

Respect

Try to meet all with peace and ease.  Nothing can rank in importance in gentleness of manner and respect towards others.
