Being of service U nderlining three of College’s virtues – compassion, respect, and justice – our graduates have a disposition to serve, with a willingness to selflessly help and do work for others, the community, and the environment. At College, service and philanthropy are intertwined. At various stages, boys can offer their time, talent, and effort in service of others. These experiences are designed to be practical and sustained, helping boys to understand the impact of service and its place within a life of purpose. Service remains an integral part of College life and our community. In becoming a member of the College whānau, each boy commits to being of service to others.
