Embark on an educational journey that serves and endures for the whole of life.
A whole of life education
With over 900 staff and 5000 students, the St Philip's family is a rapidly growing network of learning communities which provides whole of life education and care to children from Early Learning through to Tertiary Education.
At St Philip's we’re motivated to deliver exceptional, whole education. We passionately believe in the need for independent, accessible education that develops the whole child – intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually; environments that maintain exceptional educational standards, embedded with the truth of the Christian Gospel.
Journey with St Philip's
A unique enterprising spirit is woven into the fabric here at St Philip's. Pioneering threads emerge from each college, centre, and initiative.
Over four decades, we’ve continued to challenge ourselves to step forward and carve new paths; to explore and create better ways forward in education; and to equip students with holistic foundations, embedded in Christian values, for the whole of life.

Our educational philosophy goes beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge and skills; we aim to instil a profound appreciation for the richness of life and learning in our students.
