Vision & Values
How Our Vision Shapes the Ontrack Experience
Ontrack College exists for young people who have not thrived in mainstream schooling and need a calm, structured, and relational environment where they can re-engage with learning. Our vision ensures every student receives purposeful support, clear expectations, and opportunities to experience success in a way that reflects their God-given value and potential.
Our Values are GEMS
At the heart of our Ontrack College are the GEMS values, which define who we are and guide our community.
G - God
We foster a personal relationship with God in each individual through an understanding of His truth, purposes, and character.
E - Excellence
We challenge every member of our community to realise their potential and live abundantly, contributing meaningfully to society.
M - Members
We promote good relationships, positive attitudes, and a strong commitment between members and the wider community.
S - Service
We encourage service to God, family, and community through programmes rooted in social justice and compassion.
