The School intends to establish a Centre for Thought Leadership in order to bring together the teaching and learning of English, History, Philosophy, Languages and Biblical Studies as an interdisciplinary approach to the development of thought leadership in our students. Good leadership begins with a quality of mind as evidenced in critical thinking, reasoning and wisdom. The Centre for Thought Leadership will provide a unique opportunity for every student to construct the foundations of their own thought world in the light of the School’s Western and Christian traditions. The School will also expand its world leading Science Education to include Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics through the development of a STEAM quadrangle in the Education Precinct of the School. The further development of STEAM capabilities will complement the School’s agricultural program and food research programs in The Future Project.
