Christian Education
The school is multi-denominational with students and their parents coming from many different branches of the Christian Church. Parents are required to endorse the Nicene Creed and at least one parent must have an active Christian commitment.

The school emphasises the truth of the Scriptures and the reality of God. Bible teaching forms an essential part of the curriculum, whilst there is a Christian/Biblical perspective to all that is taught. All teachers have Christian commitment and support students in the development of Christian values.
