The culture at Manea Senior College is reflective of a young adult environment with workplace expectations, where positive and productive behaviours are acknowledged, valued, and celebrated. The Manea Community is embodied by four key values - Choice, Respect, Responsibility and Success.
CHOICE: Manea students are coached, supported, and encouraged to make adult, proactive choices, take ownership of their decision making and understanding how it affects their future. At Manea, students conduct themselves with maturity and self-discipline, and their choices reflect these qualities.
RESPECT: At Manea, we produce global citizens who care for their environment and value the opinions and experiences of others. Respect for self, others and the environment are essential attributes, allowing the Manea Community to operate in a highly focused, cooperative manner.
RESPONSIBILITY: The Manea Community values personal conduct characterised by high levels of responsibility. Manea students are organised, self-motivated learners and conduct themselves according to this approach.
SUCCESS: Manea students learn that success looks different for each individual and extends beyond grades and academic achievement. They are motivated to embrace opportunities and push their limits, striving for their personal best. Students are expected to engage in opportunities and to challenge themselves to try new things.
