Attitude to Learning At Thornleigh Salesian College, student’s attitude to learning is defined by four Salesian principles: • Respect - Students are guided to value themselves, others, the environment and learning resources • Understanding - Students are educated to have an awareness and tolerance of others and forgive mistakes • Affection - Students are encouraged to care for, appreciate and be kind towards others • Humour - Students are shown the value of smiling, being cheerful and celebrating their own and others achievements We expect those four principles to be demonstrated in student’s attitude to learning within classroom settings, through their character and in and around the school community.
