At Loyola, we are guided by the Jesuit Pupil Profile, which sets out eight pairs of virtues that reflect the qualities we hope every pupil will grow to develop. These virtues shape the way we teach, learn, and care for one another, helping our boys to become thoughtful, compassionate, and resilient young people who are ready to make a positive difference in the world.

• Grateful for their own gifts, for the gift of other people, and for the blessings of each day; and generous with their gifts, becoming men and women for others.
• Attentive to their experience and to their vocation; and discerning about the choices they make and the effects of those choices.
• Compassionate towards others, near and far, especially the less fortunate; and loving by their just actions and forgiving words.
• Faith-filled in their beliefs and hopeful for the future.
• Eloquent and truthful in what they say of themselves, the relations between people, and the world.
• Learned, finding God in all things; and wise in the ways they use their learning for the common good.
• Curious about everything, and active in their engagement with the world, changing what they can for the better.
• Intentional in the way they live and use the resources of the earth, guided by conscience; and prophetic in the example they set to others.

The aim of Jesuit education is ‘improvement in living and learning for the greater glory of God and the common good’.
