Curriculum
In the Senior School, Years 7 to 10 students are involved in a richly diverse program that encourages academic rigour and involvement in a wealth of activities, including off campus learning. In Years 11 and 12, a wide range of VCE studies prepares students for entry to all tertiary courses. Year 10 students may fast track into the VCE, which gives opportunities for more intensive study in Years 11 and 12. A unique Early Learning program provides Preschool and Prep students with sound educational foundations for the future. The Junior School provides strong, sequential programs of Literacy and Numeracy, Integrated Studies, Sciences, SOSE, LOTE, Biblical Studies, Music, Art, Drama, Health, Physical Education and Sport.
Extra-curricular activities
Inter-house and EISM Inter-school Sports, interstate and international tours, student exchange, debating and an exciting camps program. A comprehensive Performing Arts program includes individual instrumental tuition, bands, choirs and ensembles and major musical and theatrical productions. Chapel services, prayer groups, peer support and community service programs are vibrant practical expressions of Christian faith and values.
