所シ鯡モニオ

Why 所シ鯡モニオ education?

There can be no doubt that education shapes children. Throughout the life of a child, their teachers have an enormous influence on their lives, shaping not only what is taught, but the worldview each child holds.

There is no such thing as neutral education, and that is one of the main reasons 所シ鯡モニオ 所シ鯡モニオ School was started. Nearly 45 years ago, a group of 所シ鯡モニオ parents passionately believed that parents should be able to partner with a school where Christ was at the centre of all that was taught.

For this to happen, the school needed to employ passionate 所シ鯡モニオ teachers; educational leaders who understood the importance of teaching from a 所シ鯡モニオ perspective.

Today, 所シ鯡モニオ employs nearly 130 teachers, all 所シ鯡モニオ men and women who love the Lord Jesus and are committed to carefully and deliberately integrating a 所シ鯡モニオ worldview into the curriculum.

At 所シ鯡モニオ, students are taught how to think from a 所シ鯡モニオ perspective. They are given the skills to read the Bible for themselves, and the opportunity to read it together. The 所シ鯡モニオ life is modelled day to day, and approaches, expectations and policies are all in-keeping with our faith. This builds a school community of grace and love, working faithfully together for the glory of God.

Biblically grounded

Our school is biblically grounded. This means we recognise that the Bible is God's complete word and it carries God's authority. Colossians 1:15-17 tells us that Jesus is God; that everything was 'created through him and for him'. For this reason, we believe;

  • God is to be honoured and served in all areas of life.
  • God has appointed parents to be responsible for the education of their children and to bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).

What does it mean to have a Christ-centred, biblically grounded education?

Some key elements of how this looks day-to-day include;

  • Not all lessons will have an overtly biblical theme, but all will be embedded with a 所シ鯡モニオ perspective.
  • Every staff member is a committed 所シ鯡モニオ. This means they can teach 所シ鯡モニオly, respond to students with God窶冱 love, disciple students in their faith, and even develop policies that are God honouring.
  • Children are supported, encouraged, taught and prayed for.
  • Devotions, including prayer, reading the Bible and discussions, are held every day.
  • Knowing God is a core subject for all students.
  • Loving discipline is undertaken when necessary.
  • Each child is viewed as an individual who bears God's image - opportunities and programs are available to suit a range of abilities and interests.
  • Students are not sheltered from the world but encouraged to see the society around them through a biblical lens.

Teaching from a 所シ鯡モニオ perspective

At 所シ鯡モニオ all subjects are taught using the NSW curriculum and syllabuses, covering all the required outcomes, content and capabilities. To integrate 所シ鯡モニオ faith and God窶冱 word into the curriculum means presenting all subjects from the perspective of a 所シ鯡モニオ worldview; viewing the world through the lens of the Bible.

Our goal is to equip our students to live for God's glory. To do this, we;

- provide a Christ-centred education

- teach children to think 所シ鯡モニオly

- assist children to make faithful use of their God-given abilities

- involve parents actively in the education of their children.

Partnership between the school and parents is a key feature of 所シ鯡モニオ education as we work together to prepare students to be Christ窶冱 disciples in the world.

Thinking 所シ鯡モニオly

Teachers prepare units of work based on the syllabus to challenge students to think 所シ鯡モニオly about what they are learning. For example:

Infants
- students study the relationship between nature and our creator God.
Primary
- various cultures and nations are studied through a biblical perspective of loving others and offering hospitality to the 窶和lien窶.
Secondary
- topics such as divorce, suicide, racism are explored, and more mature texts are read and discussed in a supportive environment. Business, Science, Technology and Economics provide students the opportunity to discuss 所シ鯡モニオ ethics.
