Wollondilly Anglican College was conceived out of the need to provide Christian education in an environment that encourages excellence. With over 900 students, it has grown to be a College of choice for those in the Wollondilly Shire and surrounding districts. They seek reinforcement of family values and life skills, self-discipline, and broad educational options. The College promotes academic excellence. There is a differentiated curriculum to provide extension opportunities, and the EDGE Academy caters for acceleration by subject or by grade. We are blessed with an experienced staff of dedicated professionals, selected from many applicants. The College provides for the education of students from Pre-Kindergarten (4-year-olds) to Year 12 and offers specialist facilities to cater to all core subjects and a variety of academic electives. Modern, technology-focused, comfortable, air-conditioned learning facilities accommodate all classes without any portable or demountable buildings. The controversy surrounding the values that schools teach is never far from the media spotlight. It has even been suggested that some schools are value-neutral. I would challenge this assertion. All schools pass on values to students. Parents do not choose schools based on a presence or absence of values but instead based on the quality of values that are in evidence. Wollondilly Anglican College espouses the virtues of traditional Australian Christian values. These include freedom for students to shine, the development of God-given talents, and a family environment exemplified by quality pastoral care and a sense of community. The spectacular, award-winning grounds and modern, stylish uniforms are testaments to pride in staff, students, and parents' belonging. This is enhanced by an emphasis on a safe environment, where students have a right to personal security and are encouraged to share responsibility for others' safety. Wollondilly Anglican College is one of 17 schools operated by The Anglican Schools Corporation. It is a Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 co-educational College. Located in pleasant rural surroundings at Tahmoor, about 60 minutes from Sydney's CBD, it strives for educational excellence in a Christian context and includes modern, permanent, air-conditioned buildings. Vision Statement is Wollondilly Anglican College endeavors to provide a disciplined, caring, learning community where students and staff pursue excellence and lives are transformed for Christ's glory.
