At ‘Del we learned primarily from the example of the Christian Brothers. Above all they taught us the vital importance of integrity and honesty. They also stressed the need to pursue excellence and to be the best we could be. When an attempt at something did not produce success, it was not condemned as a failure, nor were those who tried. On the contrary, we were given constructive feedback and encouraged to try again. We were taught that true failure lays in failing to try. We learned to keep our minds open to new ideas and better ways and to discern between novelty – change for the sake of change - and profound, fundamental change. We learned to welcome change and manage it to preserve excellence and achieve new levels of it. These values are transcendent.
