The curriculum is a broad, integrated and robust program focusing on the development of the whole child as an enquirer – who is actively engaged, enquiring and developing life-long learning skills, both in and out of the classroom.
Penrith Christian School offers a dynamic, comprehensive and flexible Middle School curriculum developed for Years 5 to 8, driven and differentiated to meet the diverse and varied needs and learning styles of our students.

We offer a broad range of elective options and HSC subjects; including, Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses.
