James Dilworth knew about the strength and importance of Christian values. Dilworth holds to a set of values that guide all aspects of life at school.
At Dilworth every young man is given the opportunity to grow spirtually in the grace of God through chapel services, Christian education classes, service learning, and co-curricular activities. The school is affiliated with the Anglican Church of Aotearoa New Zealand, and Polynesia.
Twice a week each campus assembles for chapel service and on Sundays, students attend an evening service held at the Senior Campus. Parents, guardians, families, and friends are warmly welcomed to Dilworth’s Sunday services.
In Christian Education classes, students develop an understanding of the teachings, beliefs, and values of the Christian faith. The opportunity to discuss and reflect on these is valuable in shaping their faith and character.
Respect: To treat with courtesy; to honour, to care about yourself, others and the environment.
Love your neighbour as yourself.

Excellence: To apply and challenge yourself to be your best in all areas.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.
