Our Faith & Values
Rooted in the timeless teachings of the Orthodox Christian faith, we nurture spiritual growth, moral character and a deep sense of community in every student.
The role of Orthodox Christian values in daily life and education
Religious instruction, traditions and celebrations (feast days and church services)
Emphasis on respect, compassion, service and character development
At Saint Spyridon College, our foundation is built upon the timeless values of the Orthodox Christian faith, which shape every aspect of our students' spiritual, moral and academic development.
We incorporate the teachings of the Orthodox Church into everyday school life. Religious Education is a core part of our curriculum, complemented by regular participation in liturgical services, feast day celebrations and prayer. These experiences help students grow in their understanding of the Church's traditions, sacraments and the lives of the Saints.
Our community is grounded in the values of:
Respect
For self, others and the world around us.
Compassion
Through empathy, kindness and understanding.
Service
Contributing meaningfully to both our school and wider community.
Character Development
Nurturing integrity, responsibility and faith-based leadership.
Our Prayers
These prayers guide our students in their daily learning and spiritual growth.
Christ my Lord, the Giver of light and wisdom,
who opened the eyes of the blind man
and transformed the fishermen into wise heralds
and teachers of the gospel through the coming of the Holy Spirit,
shine also in my mind the light of the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Grant me discernment, understanding and wisdom in learning.
Enable me to complete my assignments
and to abound in every good work,
for to You I give honor and glory.
Amen.
