When you come to visit our campus, you will see classrooms alive with purpose. Through conversation, collaboration, and hands-on engagement with materials, ideas, and people, Bank Street students of all ages learn how to make meaning of the world around them, build the courage and confidence to think independently, and become thoughtful problem-solvers who work respectfully with others. Now, more than ever, teaching and learning are of vital importance in our society. New advances in neuroscience show that progressive approaches to education like Bank Street's are critical to healthy development and learning. Our success is rooted in a deep understanding of how children and adults learn best, the strength of the relationships we form with each other, and the abiding commitment that this inspires across our community to help transform all young learners' lives. In the words of Bank Street founder Lucy Sprague Mitchell, "we see in education the opportunity to build a better society." The mission of Bank Street College is to improve the education of children and their teachers by applying to the education process all available knowledge about learning and growth and by connecting teaching and learning meaningfully to the outside world. In so doing, we seek to strengthen individuals and the community as well, including family, school, and the larger society in which adults and children, in all their diversity, interact and learn. We see in education the opportunity to build a better society. For more than a century, Bank Street College has led the charge to place students' needs at the center of practice and policy in the field of education. Since our beginnings in 1916, Bank Street has been at the forefront of understanding how children learn and grow. From schools and museums to early childhood centers and hospital settings, Bank Street has built its reputation on the simple fact that our graduates, educators, and leaders know how to do the good work for children. Today, Bank Street is an innovator in improving the quality of classroom practice and a national advocate for children, families, and the system and policy changes that bring effective and equitable teaching to all. At the Graduate School of Education, our teacher and leader preparation programs combine the study of human development, learning theory, and sustained clinical practice to produce well-prepared educators ready to help students flourish. Our Children's Programs for children from birth to high school graduation foster all facets of human intelligence—academic, social, and emotional—so students can thrive in school and succeed in life. In the Bank Street Education Center, we support and influence positive learning outcomes for students, educators, and communities every day nationwide through research, direct work with schools and communities, and strategic partnerships. Bank Street's approach to teaching and learning is widely recognized as the gold standard in progressive education. Bank Street's rich historical and philosophical commitment to progressive education is evident in our approach to both children's and adults' teaching and learning. The Bank Street approach, known as the developmental-interaction approach, recognizes that all individuals learn best when actively engaged with materials, ideas, and people. Authentic growth requires diverse and nurturing opportunities for ongoing social, emotional, and cognitive development. At Bank Street, we view teachers and leaders as facilitators of learning. Therefore, we believe it is the educator's role to meet students "where they are" to help them develop and realize their unique potential. By combining a deep understanding of human development and educational theory with a disciplined approach to observation and reflection, Bank Street educators provide students with meaningful learning opportunities best suited for their learning and growth. Through this approach, students develop in the broadest sense: They learn to understand themselves more deeply and to make meaning of the world around them. They build the courage and confidence to think independently and creatively. They develop the skills to work respectfully and collaboratively with others. Our educators encourage students to be curious, love learning, be respectful, embrace human differences, and engage with the world around them to prepare them to lead lives of consequence. Through thoughtful engagement with teachers, peers, and their environments, Bank Street students build vital critical thinking and the academic and professional skills they will need to thrive in school settings and life. As progressive educators, we are deeply committed to strengthening the learning of both the individual and the community, including schools, caregivers, families, and the larger society in which all adults and children interact and learn. Through our work, Bank Street partners with local communities to support strengths-based, learner-centered, and equitable education practices that help influence all students' and educators' positive learning outcomes. Bank Street's progressive approach to education proudly provides students, educators, and communities with a foundation for transforming our world in big and small ways. Social justice, advocacy, and building an inclusive community are at the core of our work. Every day, we challenge ourselves and our students to grow from the opportunities and hurdles inherent in working and learning together. In the words of Bank Street founder Lucy Sprague Mitchell, "we see in education the opportunity to build a better society." View full university

It is exhilarating to be leading Grammar at this time, and a genuine privilege to be entrusted with the education of some of the brightest and most impressive young men in the country. Grammar is a thriving, motivating, and purposeful place built on an ethos that draws significantly on the Western European Enlightenment'sEnlightenment's enduring values. While an impressively notable feature of the school'sschool's reputation, examination success is just part of the picture of a busboy's intellectual, physical, and social development throughout his time at Grammar. Indeed, a love of learning and a passion for the past's greatness, the dynamism of the present, and the opportunities of the future remain essential to the boys' daily lives. Furthermore, an astonishing range and depth of opportunities exist beyond the classroom, be these in Music, Sport, Debating, Drama, and so much more. Our nurturing of each individual boy'sboy's talents to his fulfillment is such that there is no typical Grammar boy. Our boys have in common that they emerge from Grammar as articulate, confident individuals with a strong sense of their places in society, ready for university and the wider world. Interestingly, the minutes from an early Trustees'Trustees' meeting asserted that the school'sschool's object would be "that it furnishes a superior general, not a professional education its object is not to prepare its scholars for any determinate occupation but to communicate such information, and such intellectual training, as may best assist them in the subsequent acquisition of special knowledge, and the efficient discharge of their social and public duties." Given the inevitably changing nature of what will be considered professions in the years to come, it will be essential for our young men to have a pure academic grounding in order to be in a position to choose their path in the future. Thus, we remain true to our Trustees'Trustees' historical vision and practical, contemporary purpose. The modern College Street has around eleven hundred boys, St Ives over four hundred, and Edgecliff three hundred. Our boys now proceed from the school to a variety of Universities in New South Wales and beyond. However, the primary purpose of Grammar as set out in the Act to confer on all classes and denominations of Her Majesty'sMajesty's subjects resident in the Colony of New South Wales, without any distinction whatsoever, the advantages of a regular and liberal course of education'' – remains the same. Since its foundation, the school and its old boys (called ''Old Sydneians'') have played an essential part in this country's history.

Creek Street Christian College has been established to provide families with a Christian education within a caring and disciplined environment that will enable children to fully develop their God-given talents and academic abilities to contribute effectively to the changing society of which they are apart. The College encourages and supports students to develop a positive and wholesome outlook on life, become self-disciplined people, and be responsible and caring community members. The College Motto: 'Seek Truth: Love Mercy' is based on the scripture in Proverbs 3:1-4 (NKJ) 'My Son do not forget my law But let your heart keep my commands For the length of days and long life And peace they will add to you Let not mercy and truth forsake you Bind them around your neck write them on the tables of your heart And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.' Our motto has two main challenges. Firstly, to seek out and know the Truth. The Bible says that Jesus is the way, the Truth, and the life and was our example of someone who lived according to God's Truth (His Word and Ways). Christians acknowledge this is not an easy task, but it is possible to accept the challenge and live by it with God's help. Secondly, in understanding Truth, we acknowledge that God is merciful and always forgives those who ask. The Bible says that because God has forgiven us and always forgives us, we should be the same in our treatment toward other people. Our College, founded in 1981, seeks to provide a high standard of Christian education for our city's families and beyond. Over time our school has continued to grow and expand so that we now have over 270 students in classes from prep to year 10. With our school contained on one campus, this offers unique opportunities for the various year levels to support one another and for students to participate in a school complete learning activities. At the Junior School level, prep to year 4, a strong emphasis is placed on literacy and numeracy. Parents are regularly kept informed of their children's progress in these critical subjects through term and semester reports and student record folders. Christian teachers provide a positive and encouraging environment to learn, and all students are encouraged to give their best. Individual learning styles, levels of ability, and interests are catered for through various teaching methods, including various thinking tools, individual and group work, explicit teaching, interactive whiteboards, iPads, and computer labs. Handwriting and times tables remain critical foundational life skills, and their value is reinforced throughout the school. As students move into the Middle School, year 5 to year 7, they are gradually introduced to a broader range of subjects and a larger number of different teachers while maintaining a strong college commitment to the further development of their literacy and numeracy skills. A one-to-one iPad program is introduced at the year 7 level, thus building on the curriculum's already varied delivery. Moving into our Senior School, at year 8, students participate in a growing range of subjects with the introduction of our Electives program. This program, which seeks to lead students into their chosen career paths or give them a taste of the possibilities, continues to expand their learning opportunities further in years 9 and 10. These subjects added to core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, History, and Geography, Health, and Sport, including the options of VCE Mathematics, Cabinet Making, Food Technology, Performing Arts, Automotive Technology, Digital Photography, Visual Arts, Design and Technology, Extension Science (Chemistry and Physics), Outdoor Recreation, VET Certificate II Sporting Pathway Program, French, Small Business Enterprise, VET Information, Digital Media and Technology, and VET Community Service. We believe that the opportunities we present to the students will form a strong foundation for the remainder of their lives, regardless of their future paths. It is exciting to watch them as they grow and develop in a Christ-centred environment. Central to the College's vision is the desire to see our students develop their God-given gifts and abilities so they are equipped to impact their community, our nation, and the world for the Lord Jesus Christ. We desire to help students DISCOVER that all God made them be. Creek Street Christian College has proven itself over many years to be a school where young people can be encouraged to develop in all areas of their lives. This includes their academic, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Affirmation of this strong standing within the community is found in the ex-students who now send their children to Creek Street. Established school culture and school history with continued stability of staff and governance plus is a firm foundation on which to build the next exciting part of the Creek Street Christian College journey.
