Our Purpose

Our Purpose Equipping for life. Our purpose as a College is to equip for life. We believe our task is to help children develop their academic, social, physical, emotional and spiritual potential by providing a caring and supportive Christian education. All of our teachers are committed Christians who aim to model Christian values and educate our students from a biblical worldview, equipping them with the skills, knowledge and wisdom they need to face life’s challenges. This includes helping our students know who they are in God and encouraging them in their relationship with God. Because we know that if our students can leave our College loving God, loving people and loving life – then no matter what they choose to do they will make a huge difference in this world.
