Middle School – Christian Studies
Our Christian faith is the foundation of all we do. Our teaching staff aim to genuinely integrate the Gospel message throughout all aspects of the curriculum when it can be done with authenticity. To complement this endeavour, throughout Middle School we include a distinct Christian Studies subject.
Our aim is to teach and foster Christian values as students study the narrative of the Old and New Testament. Students also have opportunities to grow their understanding of the Christian faith during Home groups, assemblies, devotions, bible studies and school community based events.
