Flynn, M. (1993). The culture of the Catholic school. NSW: St Pauls. Chapter 2
What is culture:
The culture of a Catholic School is defined by its rituals, core beliefs, values
and traditions, each of which give the school meaning and help shape the
lives of all members of the school community.
Provides stability and encourages predictability
What does Flynn say about the core beliefs and values of the school:
Values are the primary determinants of its culture and represent the point
at which the culture touches the lives of its members.
Values based on firm beliefs have a strong motivation towards action and
overflow into everyday life.
They are ways of striving, believing and doing, whenever purpose and
direction are involved or choice and judgement are exercised.
Give some examples of how a Catholic school that you know show their
core beliefs and values:
