There must be a solid foundation on which to build any house that will stand a long period of time. Understanding that your purpose is determined and facilitated by a creator is paramount in understanding that life will have many ups and downs. Overcoming adversity first and foremost takes faith and understanding.

Doing what is right may not build your popularity, however it inspires respect, confidence and support from others around you. Being a trusted player is integral when building a team or a young person’s character. 

We are all called to “put our hand to the plough” to develop the necessary skills, character and confidence to fulfil our potential. Hard work promotes surety in all that you do. You may not always get what you want, but you can be assured that there was nothing else that could’ve been done to reach your goals.

Unity is an extremely important factor in building a strong team. A team with a strong sense of unity builds feelings of community between it’s players, coaches and supporters. This bond will be able to pull a team through even the most adverse conditions. 

Loyalty is a key ingredient in any organisation’s success through hardship. In today’s world loyalty, commitment and trust are difficult qualities to come across and for a program, group or team to embody these character traits will set them and the people around them up for long term success.

Success is not measured by achievements, awards or monetary gain. It is measured by how many lives are bettered by your presence. Make it your purpose to put others before yourself. We aspire for excellence in everything we do. Failure is inevitable during the road to our ambitions, but when we focus on excellence, we glorify those who have placed us in our current position.
