Prescott College Southern

Prescott provides an educational environment where all students are encouraged and supported to achieve to their best. It recognises the uniqueness of each individual and priority is given to helping every student develop academically, socially, spiritually, emotionally and physically to the fullest extent possible.

Prescott will give students opportunities to:

• Grow in Christian values
• Participate in a differentiated curriculum
• Develop the academic ability to their maximum potential
• Mature in physical skills
• Build lasting peer relationships
• Cultivate critical thinking and problem solving
• Create a sense of pride in themselves and their learning environment
• Learn in a balanced environment where their natural abilities will be challenged
• Learn and implement values that enable them to make a positive contribution to society and show a genuine care for others

Prescott College Southern provides a warm, caring, learning community where students are challenged to achieve to their maximum potential. Students are provided with a strong academic program with dedicated teachers supporting each student to achieve their personal best. Significant adults make an impact on the lives of students, and the group of staff at Prescott work hard to provide the leadership, support, and friendship to help students become the best they can be within our school program.

Our goal is to celebrate the individual abilities of each student and help them to value themselves as a person who can achieve much for the good of society. At times, due to us being an educational institution, we can be tempted to focus only on academic achievement, but academics, while important, is only a part of the journey for a student. The values adopted by the students provide a guidebook for them as individuals as they recognise their responsibility to leave a positive legacy and make the world a better place. We provide a pastoral care program that focuses on the well-being of the whole student and supports them in adopting values that will prepare them for life beyond school. Service activities, locally and internationally, provide students with the opportunity to put into action the values that have been instilled in them through the Prescott experience.

Prescott College Southern is a Christian school that offers students the opportunity to learn of Jesus Christ, as well as acknowledging and welcoming students who come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.

The Mission of Prescott College Southern is to promote a relationship between each student and Jesus Christ and to facilitate excellent achievement in a caring environment. Prescott College Southern believes that each student is a child of God, unique and of immeasurable value. We recognise the importance of systematic development of the whole person. Students are taught to accept the concept of service as a principle of life; to be sensitive to the needs of people, and to become contributing members in their home and community.
