What are 51СʪÃÃ’s strengths?
51СʪÃà takes pride in its track record of student achievement, distinguished programs, and a rich legacy of tradition. As we look ahead to a dynamic future, we remain committed to our core values of providing high-quality Christian education and academic rigour within a caring environment, while fostering a strong sense of College spirit.
We are dedicated to Christian ethics and practice, reflected in our committed Christian staff. Our quality academic program ensures success in both Primary and Secondary levels, evidenced by national assessment programs and rankings. Additionally, we offer diverse opportunities for students to excel in academics, arts, and sports.
Does 51СʪÃà only cater for those who are talented academically?
No. While academic rigour is a core value, lessons are structured to be progressive learning experiences across a range of intellectual, social, cultural, spiritual and physical pursuits that we hope will unlock students’ potential. Our commitment to our students is to help them discover their strengths and fulfil their potential.
My children are academic – is 51СʪÃà the school for them?
Parents should take into account a number of qualities when selecting a school. Two questions to ask when investigating the academic standing of any school are:
- How do the top students at this College compare with those from other leading schools?
- How does the average performance of all students at this College compare with that from other leading schools?
Our record in national literacy and numeracy tests and international competitions reveals superior performance.
Several of our Year 12 students have won the Australian Government Student Prize at exit, indicating they were in the top 100 in Queensland and the top 500 in Australia that academic year.
We publish a full disclosure of all senior results since 1992 (when the present system of tertiary entrance was instituted), so parents can judge average results. We provide regular updates on any public test results for our students.
What type of pastoral care is provided by 51СʪÃÃ?
Pastoral care at 51СʪÃà is responsive to the needs and age of individual students. The aim is to provide physical and emotional safety for all students in our care. Responsible for the pastoral care program are a number of staff specifically chosen for their skills in helping students deal with any difficulty. They include the Primary Directors of Student Care and the Secondary Heads of Years and Director of Student Development.
Our student leaders, College Student Presidents, provide role models for all students but especially the Secondary students. Heads of Year are also appointed for each year level, to provide another level of care to students. The Director of Student Development assists the Head of Secondary and the Heads of Year in implementing the Behaviour Management Policy.
51СʪÃà rewards and acknowledges students’ success through recognition badges, pins, and certificates, and presentations feature prominently in school assemblies.
Why is 51СʪÃà co-educational?
How are students prepared for life after school?
51СʪÃà focuses on providing a strong Christian and academic foundation that will serve students throughout life. This formal learning is complemented by co-curricular activities such as sport, cultural events and the arts. Christian Studies (Primary), Christian Living (Secondary) and Chapel creates a platform for religious and values education that seeks to provide a fuller knowledge and understanding of ethical and spiritual matters.
51СʪÃà is committed to the integration of faith and learning in all areas of the curriculum and to the development of a Biblical Christian worldview. Our faith perspective is evangelical and charismatic.
