Our
Vision Statement ...
St
Columba College seeks to nurture in our students
and the wider community
a close relationship with God;
a passion for living; and
a life long love of learning.
St Columba College
is a living faith community based on Anglican and Catholic traditions.
It is closely linked with local parishes, yet has its own special
character. Students, parents and staff come together to form this
unique community. Care for each student and their family is an essential
element of life at St Columba.
At
St Columba we offer ...
Discipline
for Living
We maintain consistent and fair discipline which focuses on the
behaviour of the individual student and their interactions with
others. Our policy provides a well ordered College environment and
a pattern for disciplined living.
Dedicated
Staff
Our staff offer understanding, care and encouragement to each and
every student. All staff members have been carefully selected because
of their specialist skills, faith and dedication to their profession.
Community
Leadership
Developing leadership skills is an integral aspect of College life.
We see this as a gift to the local community and society in general.
Academic
Excellence
St Columba College encourages a high level of academic excellence
whilst catering for the individual needs of students. Tailored programs
are developed for students with special needs where required. A
balanced curriculum is offered including Religious Education, the
Sciences, Technology, the Arts, Health, Physical Education, Indonesian
and a particular focus on English and Mathematics. At the core are
the values of our Christian traditions. Parents are welcomed as
partners in the educational process.
Balanced
Education
We aim to educate the whole person; academically, spiritually, physically,
emotionally and socially. Religious education and chaplaincy programs
support our academic program.
Quality
Facilities for the Future
At St Columba, students are provided with access to the latest information
technology and learning environments providing them with life skills
and preparing them for a rapidly changing world. We focus on providing
learning that is relevant to the individual student's skills, abilities
and interests. Our facilities are therefore modern, extensive and
age appropriate.
Affordable
Fee Structure
Our fees are structured to assist with access for all. Discounts
are available for families including substantial fee reductions
for those on low incomes.
