In Middle and Senior School, students are engaged in an innovative one-to-one technology program which equips them with a personal digital device. They are using Apple iPads to research, collaborate and present their findings in class. They are using the technology to access the College’s learning management system where resources for all subjects can be shared and discussed. Teachers are creating tasks for students within the learning environment which, without iPads, were previously inconceivable.
We are proud of the consistently high academic achievements of our students. In 2013, our students performed above the state average in every category tested by NAPLAN. A third of students achieved an OP between 1 and 6.

Alongside our academic and vocational programs, rich learning opportunities arise through extensive co-curricular activities, faith-in-action missions trips, challenging camping programs, creative pursuits, overseas student-exchanges and sporting interests.
Discipleship happens in the classroom as well, where students explore the tenets of the Christian faith. But it doesn’t stop with facts and verses. Northside Christian College challenges its students to put action to their words and beliefs. They are encouraged to live lives that bring glory to God, care for His creation, and spread His love to the people around us.

Special Programs
Design Thinking
Design Thinking is a Northside Christian College distinctive in Middle School. Implemented across the three years of Middle School, students engage in a cross-curricular program that is an intentional and creative approach to embedding thinking skills into our program. Year 7 students dive into Think Tank, where they experience the importance of trial and error on the road to eventual success. Year 8 students complete Design Dilemma, working together as they solve a challenge. Year 9 students have the option to complete an elective called Challenge-based Learning, a semester-long, student-initiated project that fosters autonomy and ownership.
Programs
At Northside Christian College our aim is to help students discover their God-given talents and offer them well-researched and God-inspired education and pastoral programs.
