Our Goals Explained
Love Learning permeates throughout the culture and strategic operations of our school and can be understood in seven key areas of focus:
Academic
Pursuing and celebrating growth and excellence.
We value learning as the ability to make sense of the world. We do this by connecting the unknown to the known, thereby expanding our knowledge base. The more we know, the easier it becomes to interpret new and different information and develop an understanding of the patterns of life. We recognise that academic excellence will look different for every student, but our belief is that everyone can achieve excellence at NBCS. Learning is at its best in a culture of high expectations and strong support, celebrating progress and valuing academic excellence in the context of each student’s personal best. We value the breadth and depth that exists within the NSW curriculum, and provide meaningful pathways to support, challenge and enrich learning throughout each course and stage. Our approach to teaching and learning is centred on evidence, with explicit instruction, feedback, and scaffolding pivotal to thought, the development of memory, and progression toward mastery.
Christian
Living and sharing the beauty of faith in Jesus.
Our aim is for students to understand the Christian message of truth, dignity, grace, forgiveness, and hope. We believe in the good news of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and we celebrate that we can be reconciled to Him. NBCS strives to honour students and families as they explore and form their own beliefs. We want students to leave with open hearts as their faith journey continues. Our staff seek to live and share the beauty of faith in Jesus. We do this to serve and contribute to God’s good world.
Wellbeing
Nurturing and equipping for life.
We are steadfastly committed to supporting the wellbeing and positive behaviour of our students. We work in partnership with families to know, understand and guide students to develop resilient and adaptive responses to life’s challenges. Our goal is for every student to grow in social and emotional maturity, be grounded in values that enable them to thrive, and actively seek opportunities to serve the community.
Co-curricular
Broadening opportunities and enriching lives.
We cultivate a vibrant school culture where students can thrive, and lives are enriched. Learning extends beyond the classroom. Our co-curricular program is a vital expression of our commitment to the development of the whole child. Rooted in our values, programs help students to explore their gifts, passions and opportunities. Activities provide students with opportunities to build character and confidence and contribute meaningfully to their community. Co-curricular pathways will reflect student interests and challenge them to grow. We foster participation and celebrate collective and individual achievements.
Staff
Engaging and developing talented Christian staff.
Exceptional staff make exceptional schools. Developing all staff, teaching and operational, is an ongoing priority. The appointment and development of quality staff who share a commitment to learning and the Christian faith enables us to enact our vision, Love Learning, through excellent teaching and the effective running of the school. Together, we maintain and strengthen our learning culture and improve outcomes for all.
Infrastructure
Inspiring and invigorating learning.
Infrastructure exists to help bring our Vision and Mission to fruition. Our award-winning campus reflects the balance between form and function. The natural and built environment, together with technology, enhances learning, sustainably meeting the needs and supporting the work of students and teachers.
Community
Connecting and growing, together.
Community is developed through connection, belonging, and shared purpose. We want every student, staff member and family to be known, supported, and engaged within our community. By fostering respectful relationships, meaningful partnerships, and authentic experiences, we create a culture where everyone can contribute and grow. Together, we are shaping active, informed individuals who understand their impact, care for others, and help our school and community to flourish.
