Nepean Christian School
Welcome to Nepean Christian School
We are a rich, diverse, K to 12 learning community, where Christian faith permeates all aspects of school life, including how we bring learning to life and in the relationships that we share.
Families are at the heart of our school. We believe the relationship between you and your school is pivotal to a child’s growth. We are about developing young men and women to enjoy all of God’s good gifts; to love learning and to work together to build community.
It’s the little things that set us apart, like knowing every child by name and teachers who get to know students as individuals. It’s in the community that’s built on cooperation rather than competition. It echoes in the laughter, the friendships and the engagement.
We believe that these things make us a place of learning like no other.
Affordability
NCS is committed to being an affordable school. We strive to keep fees at their lowest possible level, knowing that you make significant sacrifices to send your children to the school. At the same time, we are committed to providing your children with the best possible education and facilities in which to learn.
Our tuition fee is an ‘all-inclusive’ package that includes tuition, sports camps and excursions.
The school offers generous sibling discounts.
Community Centred
We value the sense of community that is built around a strong faith and a genuine commitment to care. NCS is large enough to offer the broadest range of subjects but small enough to ensure that no child falls through the cracks. It is a place where the principal knows each child by their name and where parents and teachers address each other on a first name basis. It is a community where parents regularly get together to support one another and grow strong friendships. It is a school where you will be made to feel as welcome as your children.
Partnering with Parents
Families are at the heart of our school and that is reflected throughout the life of the school. We often say that we don’t enrol students; we enrol families. Parents, grandparents and siblings are just as much a part of the school as students. We love the involvement of family members in the classroom as well as on camps and excursions. We encourage a close relationship between you and your child’s teacher and value good and personal communication.
Facilities
Set in a beautiful bushland setting, Nepean Christian School has all of the facilities that you would expect in a much larger school.
Our classrooms are spacious, inviting, modern and state of the art: all with wireless technology and air conditioning.
Students have access to specialist science, technology and arts and music rooms.
Our new library (The Hive) reflects our commitment to engaging and collaborative learning, and has been featured in various publications for its innovative design and furnishings.
With spacious playing fields, basketball and netball courts and mountain bike trails winding amidst our woodland slopes and dams.
Performing Arts, Music & Sport
Nepean Christian School has an enviable reputation in the arts, in particular music and drama. Students have specialist music lessons from Kindergarten.
Every second year the concert band tours parts of the nation, performing to schools and the general public.
When the school band is not on tour, we run a school musical, in which students from Year 5 to 12 are invited.
For a small school we have a big sports program. We participate in regular interschool sport in teams such as soccer, basketball and netball.
In high school we offer a broad range of leisure and recreational sports such as golf and mountain bike riding.
