Redeemer Baptist School

[EduCativ]

The school seeks to create a learning environment that is thoughtful, free, sharing, and respectful, rather than competitive, self-serving, and fearful. This provides for the development of an authentic community. The school also seeks to encourage and strengthen Christian families and those families who wish to share the life of the school.
Redeemer Baptist School offers a comprehensive range of academic subjects and activities for all ages. The school has consistently obtained high academic achievements in the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and many other State and National competitions.
The school is recognized for its clear expectations in teaching and learning. It has a strong focus on its K–12 literacy program using the WRAP—Writing Approach to Reading—instruction method. Redeemer Baptist School, along with other schools and personnel, has been instrumental in introducing this WRAP program to staff in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, SA, and the NT. Senior school students are offered a full range of subject selections, including higher-level subjects such as Mathematics—Extension 2. A particular language program is also provided for students of non-English speaking backgrounds.
The school's camping program provides an excellent opportunity for students to experience a range of adventures—canoeing, hiking, swimming—and being challenged in their values and beliefs. The Hills Regional Skills Centre, at our Castle Hill campus, is a Registered Training Organisation providing a Vocational Education program for senior students. The Hills Regional Skills Centre is a cross-sectoral education facility and, as such, is designed to serve Government and Non-government schools alike. Courses offered are Construction Information, Digital Media and Technology Hospitality and Business.
While employing a balanced approach to learning with technology, Redeemer Baptist School has pioneered developments within the Design and Technology course, winning many awards. From 1996 - 2008, the school has won State and regional awards in the NSW "Minister's Young Designers Awards" competition. In 2010, a Redeemer student won the Powerhouse Museum award for innovation and design. The school has also gained an excellent reputation in Music and Drama.
