A Respectful Community
Our culture and our values are important to us. We have a way of being, and a way of doing - our Touchstones - that are at the heart of our success as a friendly, collaborative and successful community.
Our Touchstones
Mission-led
Our everyday actions reflect our big-picture mission. We foster diversity and inclusion in the widest sense. We enable understanding across cultures, communities and belief-systems. We bridge divides. We try to help resolve conflict, constructively. All voices are heard.
Empowerment
Giving trust, responsibility (and the accountability that needs to come with it) to students and employees, creates an environment in which everyone has the freedom to do their best work to achieve and exceed their potential.
Clarity & Custody
UWC Atlantic is an asset that we need to protect and preserve. We are all custodians of the future of the College and we all need to be aware of, and work within, the framework of our regulatory obligations.
Why Not?
Our success has been built on a culture of experimentation, innovation and an approach of ‘why not?’ to new ideas. Fail small, fail fast and good-faith mistakes will be viewed as learning opportunities.
Transparent
We are transparent, open and inclusive in everything we do. We are one College, we are one team and we work beyond pure job descriptions as we deliver on the mission. Whether we agree or disagree, we seek to engage.
Impact
We know what defines success before we embark on something. We are clear about the intended results of our work and we can account for its impact in a meaningful way. Impact for us means positive change.
Community
We are mindful of how we develop and maintain effective relationships and how we behave as responsible citizens within our local, national and global community.
Influence
We’re much more than a College. Through engaging with people and organisations in the community around us, and with the wider world in general, we aspire to share our learning, lead thinking and remain relevant in today’s world.
Joy
We do everything with joy! We encourage positivity, energy and empathy. The wellbeing of students and colleagues is at the heart of our success and is important to us. The journey matters - not just the mission.
Safeguarding
Everyone working at UWC Atlantic, is responsible for keeping young people safe by creating and maintaining safe learning and living environments for students, identifying wellbeing concerns and taking action to address them. The Safer Recruitment Policy provides clear, robust systems for the safe recruitment of employees and workers to the College; thus seeking to deter and prevent unsuitable people from working with young people.
When you come to live and work at UWC Atlantic, we put your safety, security, mental and physical health and happiness at the heart of everything we do and the way in which we do it.
Our commitment to the UWC Atlantic community, for staff as well as students, is to continue to build a shared spirit of respectful community in which every individual and viewpoint is valued and every voice heard.
