The true purpose of education...
...to focus on the whole student and draw out their God-given potential
St Philip's Christian College was founded in 1982. From humble beginnings of 2 teachers and 25 students, we now cover five schools in Newcastle, Port Stephens, Cessnock and Gosford with over 2500 students and 350 staff.
In student achievement, curriculum development, information technology, vocational education, performing arts and sport, St Philip's continually strives to set new standards in teaching. Alternative programs established for students with emotional behavioural or intellectual challenges and young mothers have gained widespread recognition for meeting the needs of students who would normally be missed by the education system.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me - John 14:6
