Northholm Grammar School is a vibrant and supportive environment where young people can develop the knowledge, skills, and personal attributes they need to live a rich and purposeful life as future global citizens. While our students enjoy the benefits of small class sizes and the tranquil nature of our semi-rural location, we are profoundly aware of our responsibility to ensure they are prepared for life in an increasingly complex world. By helping them discover their interests and passions and cultivating their desire to strive for personal bests in everything, they undertake our students understand how to take their place in the world.
As a school that supports Christian values, we actively encourage our students to be generous in nature, tolerant in thought, and compassionate in action. As the nature of Australian society changes to include families of all faiths and denominations, we want our students to embrace the benefits that come from the experiences associated with a more diverse community and to show empathy to others less fortunate than themselves. We recognize the critical importance of preparing young people for social and workplace diversity after they leave school.
Our teachers are dedicated, passionate, motivated, and inspirational educators with a demonstrated willingness and ability to build supportive relationships with their students. They are actively involved in school life's many different aspects and build a deep understanding of individual students and their families' needs through shared experiences both inside and outside the classroom. This approach is fundamental to our school's nature and contributes to the strong sense of community we have enjoyed since it was first established.
Parents also play a critical role within our school community. We recognize and welcome the active participation of parents as partners in their children's education. We provide regular opportunities for parents to meet with tutors and classroom teachers to celebrate their children's achievements and discuss their changing needs through our pastoral care structure and school communication systems. The strong sense of community built through these practices is further supported by opportunities for parents to interact with other community members at both school events and social group activities.
In considering Northholm as your school of choice for your children's education, know that they will be respected for whom they are and valued for what they can achieve. At Northholm, young people become successful, confident, and articulate individuals with a strong sense of commitment to each other, their community, those who are less fortunate, and the natural environment.
Our Vision is to position Northholm as a center of excellence in the educational community through our unique ability to nurture young people while challenging them to excel. Our Mission is to develop the intellectual, cultural, creative, and spiritual capacities of young people so that they are empowered to embrace the future with confidence and compassion.
