The St Philip's Teaching School was formed by St Philip's Christian Education Foundation in 2018, in partnership with Alphacrucis University College, bringing to life the vision to train and equip Christian educators within a school community.
Both school and tertiary provider recognised the need to improve the quality of teacher training by providing principals, exemplar teachers, students and school communities in forming Christian teacher. Founded on the belief that it takes a village to raise a teacher, an apprenticeship model of teacher training was launched. Trainee teachers experience school life from day one of their degrees with the support of dedicated mentor teachers and the Teaching School team.
The St Philip's Teaching School exists to develop exemplar Christian teachers who are classroom-ready and display Jesus in all they do.
At St Philip's Teaching School, we embrace the opportunity to engage with affiliated schools to equip people who love Jesus and have a calling to teacher. Our partnerships provide a rich and diverse learning community and prepares teachers for service in Christian Schools across Australia. The vision of the St Philip's Teaching School is to focus on the whole person and to shape exemplar Christian teachers who are classroom-ready and display Jesus in all they do.
Christian is far more than a Christian way of understanding; it is about the whole of life — a way of living. At the St Philip's Teaching School, we seek to train and inspire young people on their journey of knowing and deepening their faith in Jesus.
