What does it mean to be an Anglican School?

Sample Title

Believing

Anglican schools are places where everyone in the school community is invited to experience God’s love. Anglican schools invite all students, staff and parents to share in the story of Jesus and to share their life with others.

Thinking

Anglican schools are places where we like to think. Thinking includes asking lots of questions about our world, ourselves, other people and God, as well as listening to the questions and ideas of others.

Worshipping Together

Anglican schools come together in Chapel to meet with God and each other. In Chapel we pray, read the Bible, listen, sing songs together.

Welcoming All

Anglican schools seek to tell the story of Jesus while also ensuring the stories of others are welcomed, heard, explored and respected.

Loving and Helping Others

Anglican schools provide a place where everyone in the school community can learn from the example of Jesus. Following the example of Jesus, everyone in the school community is encouraged to think of and help others

Study & Life Balance

At Sapphire Coast Anglican College, we support students with organising their study, providing them with wellbeing support and mentoring. Happy students learn well, and we work hard in a team approach to ensure that students' needs are met.
