Our Purpose
At St Philip’s, we’re motivated to deliver exceptional, whole education.
We’re here to model God’s love in such a way that the unique purpose and whole potential of every person is realised in their life, and faith lives authentically in the hearts of the next generations.
We passionately believe in the need for independent, accessible education that develops the whole child – emotionally, intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually; environments that maintain exceptional educational standards, embedded with the truth of the Christian Gospel.
We believe in delivering best-practice, leading education that embraces people as individuals and equips them to serve the communities and world in which they live.
Person by person, generation by generation – by the grace that God supplies – we positively impact the world through life changing education.

We create exceptional Christian communities of learning that are not only uniquely relevant to students but also where inspired and dedicated teachers feel empowered in their calling to become learning designers and faith-full role models.
