High School - Flourishing

The Central Coast Steiner School high school program (Years 7-12) prepares students to flourish in life, offering a meaningful and challenging learning program. Within the framework of the Australian Curriculum for NSW, we engage our students in a rich, vibrant learning pathway. Our integrated artistic approach to learning brings a genuine sense of human connection to all subjects. It is not unusual to find our students creating beautiful mathematical drawings to prove a law, or using drama to bring their historical understandings to life. Lessons are shaped to incorporate skills such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking.

Our secondary school teachers are committed partners in the learning journeys of our students. They balance high expectations of young adults with the guidance and support needed to help students grow. The personalised structure of our high school allows teachers to gain a holistic understanding of our students – both their strengths and challenges.

Great importance is placed on nurturing student wellbeing. Recess and lunch times are technology-free so that students can be active and enjoy one another’s company. We incorporate vertical β€˜house’ structures into our high school to foster connection across year groups. Students are encouraged to be their authentic selves, take responsibility for their future and to step up to a range of creative, sporting and leadership opportunities.

An important component of our students’ journey at our school is our β€˜service learning’ program, which allows students to make a positive impact on the world around them. Our high school offers students an optimistic worldview, empowering them to contribute to a just and sustainable future.

This is the ideal preparation for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (Years 11 and 12).
