Our culture
Our vision
The important feature of the overall culture at Curtin Singapore is to provide students with a high quality, relevant tertiary education within the stated values of Curtin Singapore. These values are:
- Integrity - consistent, honest and trustworthy,
- Fairness - regard to self and others
- Respect - Open and just decision making
- Care - Ensure the welfare of others.
At all times the educational interests of the students will be held in high regard. Students and staff will be expected to be aware of the Mission, Vision and core Values of Curtin Singapore.
This culture will be achieved within a framework developed and approved by the Curtin Singapore Executive Committee and disseminated through the organisation. The Executive Committee will continually review the adopted culture to ensure its continual relevance and to incorporate changes in the prevailing tertiary education and cultural trends and values.
Overall Responsibility
The overarching responsibility for ensuring the currency and appropriateness of the designated culture lies with the Executive Committee. In addition, the Executive Committee has responsibility for ensuring the incorporation of the Curtin Singapore culture throughout the various organisational departments.
Process
Induction of staff
Each new staff member shall undertake an induction process at the commencement of their employment which will include details of the desired culture of the campus. It is expected that staff who have contact with students or external parties are fully aware of the desired culture.
Reinforcement of the culture
The Executive Committee shall establish a process to review the understanding of staff of the desired culture on a regular basis - not less than 6 monthly. This will include such matters as regular meetings of staff to reinforce the importance of the Curtin Singapore culture.
