These are critical years. Young people are developing lifelong attitudes and attributes. An integral part of this is building a biblically-based foundation that will assist them in making sense of the world around them and their place in it. Pupils in the secondary school are valued for their uniqueness and giftedness. All students are challenged to confront issues of  their faith in an increasingly secular world. Our aim is to build an ability to discern.

The secondary school places a strong emphasis on academic excellence and prepares pupils for success in the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) which we offer to our Year 12 and Year 13 students.  In Years 9 to 11, our teachers design courses that have at their core, a broad and systematic knowledge base.  Throughout the secondary, students are held accountable to high but realistic expectations, whilst always looking out for the opportunity to serve others. 

 Although we are a small school, there has been an emphasis on providing as broad a range of curriculum choices as possible. We use technology when appropriate, and have programmes in place to enhance student learning. Our philosophy is that IT serves a purpose when it is integrated naturally into classroom programmes.  Class sizes are comparatively small and courses are adapted to suit individual pupil needs.

Our secondary school is served by a committed and highly competent staff who are fully qualified in their respective curriculum areas. Our staff understand the importance and responsibility of educating your child in these young adult years.
