Mission Educate is a Christian organisation. Our Christian faith determines the values that are important to our corporate culture, personal behaviour and organisational outcomes. We endeavour to maintain unity with Christian believers who hold the following beliefs as fundamental to their faith.

We believe:

1. That the Bible is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2. That there is one God, existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His shed blood for the remission of sins, in His resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand Of the Father and in His personal return in Power and glory.
4. Salvation is found only through faith in Jesus Christ by individuals who have acknowledged their sin, repented and accepted His forgiveness.
5. In the reality of the Holy Spirit and His work in the lives of Believers.
6. That God through Jesus Christ is the author of all creation and that each person is unique, the result of the individual creation of a loving God.
7. That the Church is made up of those who have been born of the Spirit and confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
8. That Jesus Christ will return to earth as Lord at the end of time. This will have implications for those who believe or do not believe in Him.

We believe that:

1. Education is the right of every individual regardless of gender, nationality, age or socio-economic status.
2. The universe is the result of intelligent design, created by an omnipotent, omniscient and ever-present God.
3. God-given laws govern the physical and meta-physical realms and the process of education is the discovery and understanding of these laws.
4. The Creator God is a personal God who can be known personally in a relationship through His Son Jesus Christ.
5. Jesus Christ is the author and focus of all wisdom, knowledge and learning.
6. Humans were created with the ability to learn, create, reason, value and discriminate and these processes distinguish humanity from the rest of creation.
7. Each individual possesses a God consciousness, a self consciousness and a world consciousness and effective education engages and develops all of these areas.
8. Education involves the spiritual, moral, social, intellectual, vocational and physical development of an individual.
9. Education occurs within community for the benefit of both the individual and the many communities in which the individual interacts.
10. The family is the primary agency of socialisation and education and is the basis on which society develops.
11. Education is a personal process of life-long learning, in which schooling and educational institutions play an important role.
12. Each individual has a God-given purpose for life and education assists in the discovery of that purpose.

We value:

1. The Bible as the foundation for all education.
2. Education that is focused on the whole person – spirit, mind and body.
3. The responsibility and integrity of the family in the nurture of children.
4. Teaching as a ministry and a call of God.
5. Students who have a willingness to learn and who demonstrate the potential to engage with, and impact their internal and external communities.
6. A protected learning environment that is physically and psychologically safe, disciplined and aesthetic, supporting a healthy balance between life and work.
7. Responsible participation by each individual in their internal and external communities.
8. Education that produces service orientation and capability, responsive to the needs of both the learning community and the external communities with which it interacts.
9. The pursuit of excellence to achieve God-given potential as an acknowledgement of an excellent God.
10. Integrity in personal conduct and external practise.
11. A spirit of experimentation, innovation, entrepreneurialism and client service.
12. Faith in God, in responding to life’s challenges.
13. Ethical, personal and organisational conduct established, developed and expressed on Christian principles.
14. Respect for government and authority.

The practical expression of our education is founded on an understanding that:

• The Bible is the authentic source of knowledge providing the perspective and meta-physical framework for the understanding of truth and knowing.
• There is absolute truth which is resident in, and created by an infinite Creator God.
• All creation has been created by and for Jesus Christ, the third person of the Godhead.
• Humanity is the discoverer and not the originator of truth.
• The search for knowledge and the act of knowing is the recognition of the Creator and His work in Creation.
• Scientific enquiry is the process of discovering pre-existent truth and pre-determined God created natural laws and processes.
• Human reasoning alone is an insufficient agent of truth.
• Truth is not abstract and has a practical application in an individual's daily life.
• The acquisition of truth and knowledge will be evidenced in an individual's actions.

Our education and learning experiences are enabled by individuals who believe that they have a call from God to teach. Our teaching approach:

• Engages both teacher and student in a learning experience.
• Values the teacher as a facilitator of student learning.
• Motivates students to discover knowledge and learning as an individual pursuit.
• Encourages teachers to model Godly behaviour and a love of learning to their students.
• Encourages the internal development of Christ-like character, values and ethics that are expressed externally in Godly behaviour within the student.
• Fosters the development of compassion and concern for God's world and those in it.
• Expresses Christ-like character, attitudes and actions.
• Seeks competence and currency in inclusive teaching styles.
• Values a commitment to life-long learning and communities of learners.
• Is individually, culturally and nationally relevant.
• Promotes effective communication between the home and learning community.
