College Ethos

Galen seeks to educate the whole person. We believe that Christ is the foundation of the whole educational enterprise in a catholic school.

Galen aims to:

	Create a strong sense of Christian community, fostering faith and personal development
	Cater for all students' needs
	Take account of demands of parents, tertiary bodies and employers in a changing society
	Guide students to the development of personal responsibility and self discipline
	Develop individual talents and education for leisure
	Offer an educational program to extend each individual student
	Encourage a life-long approach to education.

The college is strongly committed to the ideals of a Catholic education. Galen especially prides itself on the level of care and concern given to each student, including those with special needs. We endeavour to turn out young men and women who are well-equipped to cope with the demands of today's rapidly changing technological society and who have a sound value system on which to base their future lives.

Parent involvement is warmly encouraged through opportunities such as:

	Galen College Board- an elected body of parents, staff and Religious who assist and advise the Principal upon achieving our aims, including educational and financial matters
	Parents' Association - with special responsibility for management of the Tuckshop, Uniform Shop, fundraising activities, maintenance and supervision of school property and assistance with careers.
	Planning and organisational assistance with VCE Graduation Dinner, Debutante Balls and social events.
	All parents are welcome to share their talents, attend Masses, excursions and concerts.
	Invitations to attend events such as swimming carnivals, athletics days and celebrations.
