We are in the business of growing capable and independent young adults of good character who are educated and empowered to change their world for the better. We want our Calvary graduates to be fearlessly authentic life-long learners, equipped for tomorrow, who act justly (value fairness), love mercy (impart kindness) and walk humbly (seek to be their best self).
A Calvary education is not simply a variation of education, rather it is an experience of education in its fullness - encompassing notions of both the Hebrew shalom (peace/wholeness/welfare) and the Greek arete (reaching one’s optimum potential). Always aspired to, but never fully realised or perfected, thoughtful education in this context empowers students to excel at what they do and walk into the fullness of their potential, which comes through having faith in the future and a hope-filled wonder of God and His world.
What I love about working at Calvary is the resolve of the College to see shalom and arete meet in an educational experience that celebrates delightful creative expression, the peace of God in community, and the rigour of exceptional learning.
Learning should be student-driven, fun, useful, exciting, challenging, and inspiring. The value of our stage learning model is that it has been developed to provide learning at the right pace for your child. Student voice and choice in decision making, a strong emphasis on skills attainment and a focus on meeting students at their stretch point typify our learning model and make learning enjoyable.
