The curriculum has been developed by the staff within the guidelines of the Board of Studies as well as drawing on resources from the Christian Community Schools Ltd. and other Christian Schools. All students in Year 7-10 undertake 3 periods per cycle (50 minutes each) of Bible and Life which not only looks at Biblical teaching concepts but how to apply God’s Word to their lives.

A Pastoral Care teacher is allocated to each vertically streamed roll group and meets with them for devotions and administration regularly. This allows the teachers to develop the pastoral side of their responsibilities. The Library is available to all students during set recesses, lunch and after school. Time for primary and secondary students is allocated to Library study and research.

The Personal Development, Health & Physical Education Program Years 7-10 is included as a core subject in the curriculum and intra and inter-school sport is an important part of the sports curriculum.
