Preparation For Life
Senior School prepares students for life beyond the classroom through Christian Education. Fostering academic excellence, character development, and nurturing essential life skills. Preparing for life in a safe community, embracing respect, excellence and giving back. Students embrace lifelong learning and develop the capacity to think critically.
Broad Opportunities
Each child carries a unique purpose designed by God.
To help students carve out their purpose, we provide key learning opportunities such as collaboration in learning, leadership programs, creative and performing arts, academic competitions, sporting opportunities and extracurricular activities.
Serving Our Community
Students in Senior School have followed our SERVE model during their school life: Safety, Effort, Respect, Volunteer, and Excellence. They become living models to fellow students as they serve in-school and across our local community and demonstrate Christian values and ethics as they inspire others through their acts of service.
Empowering Lifelong Learners
Tailored learning in Senior School with a blend of compulsory and elective subjects.
Subjects
Personalised educational experience: Senior School's broad range of tailored compulsory and elective subjects cater to your child's unique learning needs and areas of study interest.
Parent Information Evenings
Successful educational journeys require a choice of the right subjects. Parent Information Evenings support students in Senior School to choose subjects that are right for them.
NSW Curriculum
Senior School implements the NSW curriculum and provides customised learning opportunities, exploration and extension through diverse core subjects, electives, and VET courses aligned with NESA's key areas.
Years 9-10: Discovering areas of interest through a wide range of electives.
Years 11-12: Comprehensive HSC options, extension opportunities and VET courses.
Technology
Technology is a significant educational tool. Blended learning with CANVAS and online enhances independent learning, critical thinking, technological literacy and future readiness.
Our Senior School BYOD (Bring your own device) strategy enhances independent learning, and student collaboration, with seamless integration between in-school and at-home learning.
Pastoral Educators
Our teachers are more than educators. They are Pastoral and know each student’s strengths, helping them find their God-given gifts. They assist students in choosing the right pathways for Year 12 and beyond.
Learning Online
Greater choice, flexible learning: Partnering with Pacific Online, we offer a wide range of subjects, providing our students access to comprehensive courses whilst remaining connected and nurtured in our community.
