Email Admissions

The original vision for Inaburra School involved a strong commitment to a number of key areas; media, computing, Christian education, pastorally-caring relationships and academic excellence. Since then Inaburra has also developed an excellent reputation for its creative and performing arts, world-class teaching practice, excellence in its facilities, the use of ICT for student learning and innovative programs such as its Global Education Program. These have all been driven by a future-oriented mindset that has enabled Inaburra to become known as a leader in independent education in NSW. These features have become defining characteristics of the school.

Academic staff at Inaburra are not only dedicated to students and their learning but also to developing themselves professionally and implementing global best practice. Our Learning and Enrichment Team headed by Dr Lye Chan Long, works alongside our academic staff building our Teachers’ individual and collective capacity for continuous and sustainable professional improvement.

As our mission statement articulates, Inaburra exists to be a Christ-centred learning community. Teachers and staff hold to a Christian world-view and events such as Mission Week, religious forums and Bible studies are part of the fabric of the school. Our founding church, the Menai Baptist Church, also continues to be actively involved in serving the school through a range of initiatives.

Inaburra has built a strong reputation for its commitment to student welfare. School families are supported by a collaborative network of teachers, peer group leaders, Year Advisors, Home Group leaders, welfare and counselling staff who are all focussed on each student’s individual well-being.

The use of technology as an aid in learning is introduced in the Junior School years, which includes instruction in basic programming, blogging and e-portfolios. This includes forming global connections using technology. From Years 5-12, the Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) program enables students to bring their preferred technology to school to use in their learning. The program attempts to ground a student’s ICT use in line with school values.

The teaching staff in the Junior School are professional, dedicated and dynamic Christian educators who hold a passion for developing the capacity of young children. Teachers at Inaburra follow the NSW Board of Studies syllabus documents and students are offered programs in Mandarin, PE and music; each taught by specialist teachers. Each class in the Junior School offers opportunities which allow for differentiated curriculum.

Inaburra Senior School students experience a world-class environment where they can make real progress in their learning. Our students are supported by a team of educators who seek to extend each individual’s potential. Inaburra is well-known for its care of students as they transition into Year 7 and graduate successfully from Year 12. An After School Study Program is offered along with mentoring support from excellent tutors made up of alumni and school peers. We aim to shape students into life-long learners by encouraging them to take responsibility for their own learning and providing programs that build their capacity consistent with the Inaburra Learner Profile.

Inaburra exists to be a Christ-centred learning community pursuing excellence in education with every individual known and loved. Based on this mission our values are:

We commend and cultivate FAITH in God, who makes himself known to us in and through his Son, Jesus Christ.
We pursue KNOWLEDGE, delighting in the gift of learning to live well in God’s world.
We commit to LOVE, because Christ first loved us.
We strive for EXCELLENCE in thankful response for all that God has provided.
We treasure each INDIVIDUAL, recognising and respecting the image of God in every person.
We cherish COMMUNITY, knowing that relationships are at the heart of living and learning.
