Our Values

​

We believe all students have the right to feel safe, supported and respected at all times.
We have identified three key core values as representing the essence of our school: ‘community’, ‘care’ and ‘character’. 

​

Community

• We value the diversity of our community

• We appreciate that our NCS community is made up of staff, students, their extended families, their church families and our alumni students

• We foster a close-knit Christian community where Christ’s love is shared and every member feels valued 

• We have a responsibility to shine Christ’s love into our wider community both on a local and global scale

 

Care

• We treat others with care and consideration

• We care for each student on an individual basis and develop a desire in every student to care for those around them

• We care for God’s creation and the resources He has blessed our school with

• We take care and pride in our schoolwork and always strive to do our personal best

 

Character

• We desire our students to be known for their outstanding Christian character - the ‘NCS difference’

• We expect our students to ‘Choose Respect’ by being kind and considerate of others, by respecting those in authority and by respecting our school and its Christian foundations

• We encourage students to love and honour God in all they think, do and say
