Partnership Value Alignment
Fuelled by a shared passion for excellence and inclusivity, the collaboration seeks to encourage young people to embrace their potential and train ‘The Liverpool Way’ through school, afterschool skills clinics, and holiday training programs.
'The Liverpool Way' is built on four core values: Ambition, Commitment, Dignity, and Unity.
Ambition
This program is not about finding the next Lionel Messi or Mary Fowler, it is about encouraging students to have dreams, to be willing to step outside their comfort zone to discover and apply their God-given talents, to be the best they can be, and know that dreams are to be achieved.
Commitment
Achieving one's goals does not always come easy and we want each of our students to live out our College motto of 'Perseverance Conquers All' and be willing to put their heart and soul into everything.
Dignity
We want to ensure that our programs and experiences enable our students to have a positive impact on themselves and others, and to earn respect through honesty and integrity.
Unity
We want our students to be the best that they can be and to work to bring out the best in each other.
