St Philip’s Christian College Gosford
Prospectus
Our heart is to equip students with the skills
and knowledge to make informed decisions,
to encourage each individual to explore and
grow in their gifts and talents and to empower
them to have the confidence to step into new
challenges.
Just at the time when a students’ internal world
is changing, more than at any other time in
life, traditional high schools present them with
more adults to relate to, as specialist teachers
are more a part of their introduction to a
comprehensive education. Middle Schooling
is a way to work against this pattern. It is a
reintroduction of teaching structures that
work to have each student well known in every
year of schooling by at least one teacher who
can assist other teachers in knowing how to
teach that student, and their group effectively.
In Middle School the students are given a
gradual introduction to specialist settings. This
helps our College to know your child well, and
what is helping or hindering them to learn, as
they pass through their early adolescence.
