‘Schools whose vision for the future is in perfect alignment with their mission, with Godly values that underpin their beliefs and behaviours, will be transformed. Through themselves being transformed, these schools will transform their communities.’
— David Gillman CEO Christian Schools Tasmania

— 1 Corinthians 13:13
‘Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.’ — Ephesians 4:2
Faith — Faith comes from hearing and trusting the message about Jesus.
Hope — Hope is the knowledge that this world is not all there is, looking forward to Jesus’ return.
Love — We are to love others deeply and put others before ourselves.
Our School Values
Respect, Kindness and Resilience
Respect — We expect and model respect.
Kindness — We encourage and celebrate kindness.
Resilience — We promote and nurture resilience.
These statements are lived out daily at Northern, and they have a profound and significant impact on our culture including the way we deliver our teaching and learning programs. Students, staff and families are expected to be respectful to others and the learning environment. We encourage and celebrate kindness through the You Can Sit with Me Program at playtimes. Resilience is strengthened by encouraging positive mental health and wellbeing for students through safe and supportive school learning environments.
