Preparation for Life

Senior School is where students are encouraged and supported to take on more responsibility for their learning whilst cultivating good character and a heart that not only serves Christ but also desires to serve others.

There is an emphasis on critical thinking and students being actively engaged in the education process.

Our teachers are pastoral as well as being educators. They know the strengths of each student and have helped them to identify their God-given giftings, and they are there to assist them to make good choices about their pathways towards Year 12, and beyond.

The foundational pillars of our School – an authentic and supportive Christian community, curriculum infused by a Biblical worldview, teaching of Christian beliefs and values, and holistic development of each child beyond textbook learning - continue to mould our young people.
