Northern Beaches Christian School

Northern Beaches Christian School is an independent non-denominational Christian co-educational primary and secondary day school, located in Terrey Hills, Sydney, Australia.

Contents

Established in 1981, the school provides a general and religious education for approximately 1,200 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. The school is affiliated with Macquarie University.

Overview

The school completed its multi-purpose hall named after Australian actress Marina Prior and a shared learning space called 'SCIL' named after the school's educational enrichment project of the same name in 2009. [2] The two buildings were officially opened by the school's Board of Directors and local MP Bronwyn Bishop.

The school has a Global Opportunities Program which aims to build global bridges through community partnership, cultural understanding and shared learning. GO projects have involved sending teams of staff and students to Cambodia, Rwanda, Uganda and Moree. GO teams work in a range of contexts, including running children's programs, English literacy development, and professional development for local teachers. [3]

Sydney Centre for Innovation in Learning

The Sydney Centre for Innovation in Learning (SCIL) is both an online learning project run by NBCS and the name of the recently completed modern, learning environment whose design was based on the core ideas behind SCIL of online, technologically enriched learning.

NBCS provides online courses for students studying for their Higher School Certificate via their HSC Learn Online program. Courses are for students both in their final year (Year 12 in New South Wales) and students studying preliminary HSC courses in Year 11.
