Our Values At Prince Alfred College we believe men have unique skills, talents and abilities. We believe it is their differences, not their similarities, which need to be nurtured. We recognise that their traditional roles and responsibilities are changing. As a consequence, they need clarity, flexibility and a clear sense of purpose. Our goal is to nurture and develop boys into Princes Men. Men who know who they are, work hard and value their roles and contributions. But at the same time, to develop men with kindness, who care and support others. Men with a sense of duty, honour and integrity. Men with courage and emotional strength. Men with ambition and a willingness to act and achieve. Men with a good sense of humour, confidence and self- reliance. Men who build strong networks and enduring relationships. Prince Alfred College — the world needs more good men. Our Purpose To uncover, nurture and develop the unique qualities of boys to help them transform into productive, confident and resilient Princes Men.
