How Christ-centred classrooms boost student achievement

Parents looking into Christian schools in Perth often ask: what difference does a Christ-centred education really make? At Kingsway Christian College, the answer is clear — when Jesus is at the centre of learning, students flourish academically, spiritually and personally. In the recent Student Flourishing in Australian Christian Schools survey, conducted by Christian Schools Australia, Kingsway students recorded flourishing scores that exceeded the national average.

Christ-centred classrooms create an environment where truth, the Chrisitan faith and learning are seamlessly woven together. Here’s how this approach equips students for success at Kingsway and why many families choose Christian schools in Perth like ours.

1. Learning grounded in truth

Our motto, God is Truth, reminds us that the Christian faith infuses all areas of life, including learning. This grounding helps students see the relevance of their faith in every area of life, building wisdom as well as knowledge.

2. A nurturing community

A Christ-centred classroom is warm and relational. Students feel safe, valued and encouraged to serve others. At Kingsway, teachers model Christ-like care and older students mentor their younger peers — creating a culture of belonging. Learn more about our Pastoral Care Programme.

3. Learning with excellence and purpose

Christ-centred education fosters high achievement across all aspects of student learning. Kingsway students consistently perform above State and National averages, with more than half of our students in the top 10% of the State for ATAR in 2024. The difference? Students understand that their gifts are from God and are motivated to use them faithfully.

4. Holistic development

Christ-centred learning nurtures the whole child — academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. At Kingsway, our strong Pastoral Care network and service opportunities help students to grow in character as well as knowledge.

5. Preparing students for life

Kingsway graduates are prepared for university, work and service, but also equipped to lead lives of faith and purpose. Families choose Kingsway because they want more than academic success; they want their children to be courageous, compassionate and Christ-like in every area of life.
