Southern Highlands Christian School

Welcome to Southern Highlands Christian School for over thirty years Southern Highlands Christian School’s core commitment to growing Knowledge, Character, Service and Leadership has laid a firm foundation for many young men and women. Our dedicated Christian staff, who value each student as a unique individual, seek to foster these key aspects of education in all our students from Prep to Year 12. At SHCS our vision is to provide a curriculum of academic excellence whilst building a partnership with parents in helping to grow, develop and equip our students for their place in the world.

We desire that all our families feel valued and we seek to build a great sense of community and ownership with them. SHCS is committed to offering a high quality, Christ-centered, Bible-based education, providing the students with life-long values, friendship and opportunities.

Our vision at Southern Highlands Christian School is for students to embrace the potential God has gifted each of them with to make a difference in the world. It is therefore essential for children to be empowered in their learning, equipped as creative thinkers and problem solvers, able to work as part of a team and to be encouraged towards high levels of achievement. Success stretches beyond wealth or position in society and our prayer is our students will exude truth, justice, mercy, compassion and grace; the very character of Jesus. The education offered at Southern Highlands Christian School is based on these foundational values.

For over thirty years SHCS has been providing quality Christian education in the Southern Highlands. Our core commitment to growing Knowledge, Character, Service and Leadership has laid a firm foundation for many young men and women throughout that time. Our dedicated Christian staff seek to foster these key aspects of education in all our students from Prep to Year 12. At SHCS we provide a curriculum of academic excellence whilst building a partnership with parents in helping to grow, develop and equip our students for their place in the world.

At SHCS we are committed to the development of the whole child, mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally. Part of this commitment is to help them achieve an outward focus. Our school has developed a strong history of overseas mission trips, to countries such as Fiji, the Soloman Islands and Vanuatu as well as trips within Australia to Bourke and Darwin.

We want to challenge all students to not only respond to Christ but to share His love and the offer of salvation that He freely makes. Without a doubt, mission trips are the highlight for many students, and they see the unique opportunity provided to them in serving others.
