Overview:

At Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School we develop student ability in three dimensions: academic, creative and ethical.

Highlights:

Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School has one over-riding focus – helping our students excel in life. We achieve this through a balanced learning program that ensures students achieve their academic potential while accumulating important life skills.

Our learning environment encourages and stimulates students and prepares them emotionally and academically for their adult years.
The idyllic setting for Lindisfarne is perfectly suited for this purpose. Overlooking the Terranora Broadwater in the semi-rural coastal hinterland of the Tweed Valley, the school has a deep sense of community.

Parents entrust their children into our community because we provide quality education complemented by a pastoral care program that nurtures personal, social and academic wellbeing.

Lindisfarne has an integrated three-school structure with current enrolments of around 1000 students. The school consists of an Early Learning Centre for Pre-school and Kindergarten, a Primary School for Years 1 to 6 and Secondary School from Years 7 to 12.

Our structured academic program has a strong literacy focus and recognises each student's particular strengths and individual abilities. This is supported by a comprehensive co-curricular program that includes a wide range of sports, studies in performing arts and recreational activities.

This combination of academic and co-curricular activities, supported by pastoral care, helps our students develop as confident, independent and rounded individuals.

Model of Learning

Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School presents a balanced educational program that provides students with every opportunity to excel academically and as an individual.
Our model of learning is based on the philosophy that quality teaching achieves outstanding results when it is delivered in a community environment that values human relationships and pastoral care.

Through our model of learning we develop student ability in three dimensions:

Academic
A structured curriculum which challenges and supports students in their ability to use the skills of language, mathematical and verbal reasoning, logic, memory and processing of information. Lindisfarne seeks to eliminate underachievement by raising the expectations of students and their potential to succeed.

Creative
The ability to think and act with fluency, innovation, openness and originality. These qualities are developed through a broad curriculum which recognises each student's strengths and abilities.

Ethical
As an Anglican school Lindisfarne believes in tradition and scripture but we are also guided by reason and experience. We provide students with the ability to think and act with moral insight – ethical inquiry that is the fundamental context of all learning.

Through these three pillars of learning Lindisfarne creates meaning and purpose for students while they experience spirituality within Anglican practice and tradition. Our goal is to ensure they lead lives that are productive and fulfilled.
