Northholm Grammar is deliberate in its strategic intent to foster a learning environment where students thrive and flourish in the pursuit of their personal best and achieving excellence . Students feel a sense of accomplishment at any stage of their learning due to the teachers knowing each student and personalising their learning trajectory .
Believing that schools have a moral responsibility to help students become wellrounded
individuals , ‘ The Northholm Way ’ allows students to grow as individuals , find their passions and contribute to a thriving society .
From the words of a truly inspirational leader , Martin Luther King :
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically . Intelligence plus character is the goal of true education .
The legacy of the Class of 2023 is their capacity to provide visibility to our school vision by demonstrating what ‘ learning through scholarship ’ looks like in practice and setting high expectations for student achievement in future cohorts .
Our Year 12 students have shown
resilience , determination , and an unwavering drive towards excellence in all aspects of their schooling . As a cohort they have led our School with kindness and a sense of cohesion , displaying empathy and compassion towards each other , and their younger peers .
These achievements would not be possible without the pastoral attentiveness , hard work and support from our staff , parents and community .
We would love to welcome your family to our upcoming Open Day , Sunday March 24 . Multiple sessions are available from 10am . Bookings are essential as places are limited .
