Our values
Every day at Seymour, we promote our core values of excellence, respect and innovation. They drive who we are as individuals and also as a community.
Our community is what makes our College special and through providing an inclusive environment where everybody feels safe and has a sense of belonging, we are well positioned to be responsive to the needs of every person at Seymour.
Our ethos
Crescam Ministrando – I grow by serving, has been the College’s motto and guiding philosophy since our foundation in 1922. It is at the very heart of everything we do at Seymour College.
Crescam Ministrando is an action. It is an intelligent and reflective activity which equips girls with a critical consciousness of the world and how they can make a difference to people, communities and the environment.
Learning comes to life when it is partnered to purpose and action. It is not what you know that counts, but what you do with your knowledge.
