Founder
Benedict of
Nursia (March 480 – 543 or 547 AD) is a Christian saint. He is a patron saint
of Europe. Benedict founded twelve communities for monks at Subiaco, Lazio,
Italy (about 40 miles (64 km) to the east of Rome), before moving to Monte
Cassino in the mountains of southern Italy. Benedict's main achievement is his
"Rule of Saint Benedict", containing precepts for his monks.
Discipline is
a way of focusing energy and attention on what matters. Benedictine life is
built around a fundamental discipline of prayer, work and relationships that is
set forth in the Rule and that seeks to free a monastic to take delight in
God's presence within the self, the community and the world. No learning takes
place without discipline. Students must sacrifice short-time benefits for
long-term goals. In pursuing academic excellence the faculty and staff seek to
teach and model the skills for cultivating discipline. Within a Benedictine
institution of higher education it is our intent to shape the classroom,
laboratory, and studio - as well programs in athletics, service and leadership
- to call forth and support personal discipline on the part of students. We
rejoice at growth in knowledge and self-understanding that is the fruit of hard
work, initiative and honest assessment.
Benedictine
colleges and universities seek to enlist this practical focus on community
building and its profound openness to human history and global experience. We
attempt to provide students with an experience of community, deepened by
curricular and co-curricular programs, to help them make the connection between
the individual and the communal, the local and the global, the present and the
past. Benedictine educational institutions seek to recognize the service their
members give to promoting human well-being on campus, as well as off. It is our
intent to commemorate the example and witness provided in the past, to
celebrate human generosity wherever it is found, and to expand care and concern
for our members on a regular basis.
Mission
and Vision
St.
Benedict’s Academy, is an educational institution, dedicated to the motto
of “Success, inspires success”
Mission
“Inspiring and
transforming lives through learning”
We promote
improvement in all sectors of education and at all stages of the learning
journey, from the early years to adult and continuing education.
The mission
has a strong focus on improving outcomes in ways which seek to eliminate the
inequity which currently exists amongst learners from different backgrounds and
from particular vulnerable groups.
The mission
reflects our commitment to playing a lead role in promoting strong partnership
working amongst the key partners supporting and delivering education. We
believe our aspirations for improvement in education are shared by all of our
key partners .These can only be achieved by working together co-operatively,
with mutual respect for, and understanding of, our different roles,
responsibilities and relationship.
We believe
that children actively construct theories about their world and test their
hypotheses through meaningful hands-on experiences as well as social
interactions and relationships with their teachers and their peers.
We foster
children’s imagination, curiosity, inquiry, creativity, critical thinking and
problem solving to shape a lifelong passion for learning through the whole
development of the child: physical, intellectual, emotional and social.
We educate
children to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world where the ability to
problem-solve, innovate, learn independently and cooperate is of paramount
importance.
Vision
Our vision at
SBA is to empower students to acquire, demonstrate, articulate and value
knowledge and skills that will support them, as life-long learners, to
participate in and contribute to the global world and practice the core values
of the school: respect, tolerance & inclusion, and excellence. We inculcate
in students the spirit of creativity and innovation and mould them as valiant
paragons to face the challenging world outside.
