“Educating our children today to nurture in them hope, courage and the capacity to be Christian leaders of tomorrow.” (Mission Statement)
Stanhope students and educators are lifelong learners, critical consumers and producers of knowledge. They collaborate, think critically and communicate effectively.
Learning is personalised to meet each student’s diverse needs. A range of data, research and evidence-based learning informs our teaching practice. Learning has no boundaries, and we support learning opportunities for students in a variety of formal and informal contexts.
