A nurturing environment that offers a world of opportunity
PCS balances high quality, rigorous academics with balanced student wellness.
UNDERPINNING OUR LEARNING
Wellness of self and others is our clear point of differentiation.
The growth of capabilities and character to equip students to flourish and play an active and effective part in God’s world is the core of what we do. We strive to provide quality experiences in and out of the classroom, and to ensure that the learning needs of individual students are met irrespective of their starting point.
HOW WE LEARN
Authentic real-world
and service-learning
These types of opportunities are a routine part of the curriculum, delivered via Deep Learning, Project-Based, Inter or Multidisciplinary units of work.
Grounded in empathy, such approaches focus the learner on others and instill a sense of capacity, purpose and self-worth. The PCS way invites students to partner in learning and promotes their voice and agency.
High Potential and Gifted students are extended by teachers using a range of adjustment strategies relating to the relevance, pace, choice, challenge, and complexity of learning activities. A focus on higher order critical and creative thinking allows students to explore areas that interest and inspire them. The cocurricular program extends opportunities for students to be a part of academic competitions and enrichment days, and in Stage 6, we have been thrilled to facilitate student participation in University Developed Board Endorsed Courses as a part of the HSC.

Learning Testimonials
Steven H
Class of 2021
All of the teachers become your personal cheer squad and always encourage you to follow your dreams and help you every step of the way. I would never have got to realise my passion on the sporting field if it wasn't for the teachers believing in me and shaping the way.

Early Childhood Learning Staff made Preparatory School such a great beginning for my daughter who has battled cancer since the age of 14 months. Last year was her first year in remission where she got to learn how to walk and do things that children her age do. Going to Prep School is an amazing privilege for her that we are so thankful for. To witness her having fun with friends and sharing great stories of normal things is unbelievably wonderful. Thank you for making her feel welcome, safe and cared for.
