St Philip's Christian College
"St Philip's Christian College was born out of a passion to provide education that is life changing. St Philip’s school provides an environment where respect and excellence are encouraged along with a desire to see students enjoying the learning process and school life. Their philosophy is to:
Help students to develop independence, flexibility, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, global connection and habits of mind and heart within our 21st century Learning Framework, which are inline with the NTN model.
Create dynamic, agile learning spaces which provide for diverse learning experiences.
Utilise 21st century technology, with each student in years 5-11 using the Macbook as a tool for learning, and K-4 students having access to iPads and computers.
Professional collaboration and coaching is critical to improving teacher quality, and this is strengthened through their association with the University of Newcastle Teaching Research Program.
They support our students in developing confidence, knowledge, skills and faith to face the challenges of the 21st century.
St Philip’s will be implementing Project Based Learning across year 8 in 2016 with the intentions of year 8-9 in 2017, then 7-10 by 2018."
