While we are a large Prep – 12 College we still maintain a very warm and caring small school atmosphere in Prep – 6. All students are valued and we look at educating the whole child, academically, spiritually and socially. We run programs for all levels of academic need whether they are gifted and talented to those who need support to achieve in the classroom. We have specialist staff in both these areas. We have a full time trained College Counsellor – Mrs Petersen who is able to work with individual students who need support. Mrs Petersen is also available to provide support to parents. The values we teach are Christ centred and our Christian beliefs and attitudes come through every day in all that we teach.
Educational Programs
The programs that we develop are based on the NSW Board of Studies Syllabus documents. They are used in most schools throughout the state. They are outcomes based which means that the progress of your child will be matched to stage appropriate outcomes that have been set for each key learning area.
* English
* Maths
* Human Society and its Environment (Social Studies)
* Science and Technology
* Creative and Practical Arts
* Personal Development/Health/P.E
The teachers set benchmarks that the children are expected to achieve. The programs are designed to teach them what they need to attain these expectations. They are taught in Stages which include:
* Early Stage 1 – Kinder
* Stage 1 Years 1 & 2
* Stage 2 Years 3 & 4
* Stage 3 Years 5 & 6.
We strive to enable each child to reach their potential in all areas.
