Our Purpose We discover, nurture and develop the unique qualities of each boy to help him grow into an enterprising, confident and resilient man. Our Beliefs At Prince Alfred College we believe men have unique skills, talents and abilities. We believe it is their differences, not their similarities that 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 Princes Men: • Men who know who they are, work hard and value their roles and contributions. • And at the same time, to develop men with kindness, who care and support others. • Men with empathy, humility and a respect for diversity, spirituality and the beliefs of others. • Men who form strong networks and enduring relationships. • Men with a sense of duty, honour and integrity. • Men with courage and emotional strength. • Men with a good sense of humour, confidence and self-reliance. • Men with purpose and a capacity to contribute to a better world.
