Cultural Capital
Cultural Capital - Statement of Intent
At St Bernadette’s, Cultural Capital is defined as the accumulation of knowledge, behaviours, and skills that a student can draw upon and which demonstrates the cultural awareness, knowledge and competence; it is one of the key ingredients that a student will draw upon to be successful as scholars, in society, their career and the world of work. In response to the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, we work tirelessly to build our students’ aspirations and expose them to a range of experiences to help them achieve their goals and become successful.
We acknowledge that for our students to aspire and achieve excellence academically and in the wider areas of their lives, they need to be given rich and sustained opportunities to develop their cultural capital. We do this in many ways, for example, through our curriculum, extra-curricular activities, trips and visits and careers activities.
We recognise that there are six key areas of development that are interrelated and that contribute to building a student’s cultural capital:
- Personal development
- Spiritual development
- Social development
- Physical development
- Moral development
- Cultural development
