The key purpose and activity of any school is the provision of learning that promotes the highest academic achievement and the development of vocational and technical skills, but for a Catholic school like Rosmini this is only part of the totality of education.

Education in its broadest sense is concerned with life-long inner growth, achieving personal wholeness and integrity, and the development of personal gifts and creativity. Schooling is only a phase in this process, but a vitally important one.

Antonio Rosmini, whose precepts on education we follow here at Rosmini College, felt that the pursuit and possession of truth for its own sake were of inestimable importance. Not all study has to be at the service of some utilitarian purpose. Simply to know is sufficient justification for study.

As individuals we are enriched by what we know and in this way we grow as human beings and achieve maturity. Thus it is vital that education does not just attend to the disciplines of academic and technical training but also to the moral and spiritual needs of the individual pupil.

Our aim, therefore, at Rosmini College is to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our pupils, and in doing so prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

We cannot, however, do this in isolation. We need the active support of the whole Rosminian community, for only by working together will we succeed in producing educated, responsible, self-disciplined young Catholic men.
