College Values

At Overnewton we are committed to excellence, diversity and belonging. Guided by Christian values and an Anglican ethos, we nurture academic growth and the development of character in a supportive environment. We are focussed on inspiring our students to embrace purpose, serve their communities and lead lives with heart and integrity.

Our Christian Foundation

We encourage each person to explore faith, grow spiritually, and lead a life of compassion, integrity, and purpose. Our Christian foundation, in the Anglican tradition, shapes who we are and how we live, with our College motto: The LORD is my light (Psalm 27:1).

Excellence

We aim for excellence in all that we do, embracing every challenge and opportunity with determination and purpose. We aspire to reach our full potential and inspire others to do the same.

Learning

We embrace learning as a lifelong journey, driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a desire for growth. Together, we strive to deepen our knowledge, expand our understanding, and cultivate wisdom in all aspects of life.

Respect

We honour the dignity of all individuals, valuing diversity and fostering equality of opportunity. We respect ourselves, others, and the environment, striving to create a culture of compassion, understanding, and reconciliation.
