Our Employee Value Proposition
This beautiful campus in Howard Springs is extremely popular for local, suburban and rural families looking for outstanding, highly affordable secondary education. Families from other Darwin suburbs also value Good Shepherd's many offerings and make use of the inter-school bus from the Leanyer Campus. Eg, families from Darwin's northern suburbs enrol their children into this campus, especially if they have commenced their primary years education at Good Shepherd. In other words, distance is not an issue for so many families wanting to access the Middle and Senior School in Howard Springs.
This campus is very unique in that Year 6 students enrol into secondary education. This is due to the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) which commences in Year 6 and is completed in Year 10. As a culmination of this excellent educational program, students exhibit a Personal Project which they have worked on for nine months - commencing in Term 3 whilst they are in Year 9. The exhibition is always a highlight on the College calendar and the exhibits really do have to be seen to be believed! An incredible showcase of rich learning and student abilities; also demonstrating the commitment of outstanding, highly supportive teachers along this journey.
The IBMYP builds on the learning journey in the IBPYP undertaken in the College's three Junior Schools. Another reason why families from the three Junior Schools will only consider the Middle and Senior School as a secondary schooling option.
Once students move in to the senior years at this campus, they have the choice of a pre-tertiary pathway completing the Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) or opt for entry into the Career Acceleration Program.
The College embraces a pedagogical approach which places the students at the centre of learning and endeavours to provide opportunities that equip them to develop the skills of learning; through developing their critical and creative thinking, collaboration with other students and teachers, and communicating with others through a variety of mediums and languages.
Transition to Year 10 students study a language other than English. In the IBMYP students select from German, French and Japanese with the emphasis on developing both language skills and a global outlooks.
Fundamental to a Lutheran and International Baccalaureate education is service learning and action. Christian service is a response of the Heart, Head and Hands to the love, forgiveness and mercy of God in Christ. It is motivated by a sense of care and responsibility for all creation. Learners at Good Shepherd can demonstrate their personal commitment to service as a way of showing faith in action. Responsible action at the College is centred on the gospel message and example of Jesus Christ. Service and Action are viewed as integral parts of the learning experiences that IBPYP and IBMYP students will engage in continuously the College.
