Character & Culture at Livingstone
Mr Tom Dalton
Director of Character & Culture
Our mission drives everything we do: to educate for eternity and equip for life. We aim to see students grow in a personal and lasting faith in Jesus Christ. Through Biblical Studies, chapels, pastoral care, and everyday moments, students are encouraged to know God deeply and make Him known in the world.
Character development is not a program — it’s a way of life at Livingstone. Our students learn what it means to be people of integrity, compassion, humility, and courage. We are committed to guiding students toward real and lasting behavioural growth through restorative practices, reflection, and support. The goal is not mere compliance, but transformation — a genuine change of heart that bears fruit in everyday actions.
We also work hard to ensure that Livingstone is a secure and caring environment. Our staff are dedicated to the wellbeing of every student, creating safe spaces where they are seen, valued, and supported. It is from this foundation that students are empowered to grow in faith and character.
Ultimately, our desire is for students to see themselves as part of something bigger — the work of God in the world. Whether it’s through acts of service, leadership opportunities, or everyday kindness, our students are equipped to make a positive impact in their homes, communities, and beyond.
At Livingstone Christian College, we believe education is more than the transfer of knowledge — it is the formation of the whole person. As Director of Character and Culture, my role is to help shape an environment where students are not only educated for life but also prepared for eternity. This means cultivating a school culture rooted in knowing Christ, developing character, and pursuing excellence.
At Livingstone, character and culture are not just about who our students are today, but who they are becoming — young people flourishing in Christ, character, and excellence.
