Equipped, Empowered to Serve

Vision

Seeing our students educated, equipped and empowered for their God-given purpose in the world.

Mission

To equip students by teaching the Australian Curriculum from a Biblical worldview and building faith, character, and skills to engage their calling in life.

Core Values:

  • Character – NCS is all about discipling the character of the students by teachers who themselves are models of Godly character.
  • Community – NCS is a community of parents, students and staff, working together to raise the next generations of children.
  • Creativity – NCS is a place where individuality is celebrated, and unique callings are discovered.
