Inaburra School is a K-12 co-educational Christian school situated in Southern Sydney that was started by Menai Baptist Church in 1983. The mission of the school is to be a Christ-centred school, offering excellence in education within a community of care. The school motto is 'Faith, Knowledge, Love'. Starting from a foundation of faith, our core business is the cultivation of knowledge and skills that will manifest in lives characterised by love. We aim to educate the whole child, recognising the importance of spiritual, academic, physical, emotional and social development. Inaburra is committed to developing excellence in all aspects of school and student life. We have an open enrolment policy, welcoming students from a wide range of backgrounds and levels of academic aptitude. Inaburra has a proud record of assisting students to achieve excellent academic outcomes; the vast majority of our students proceed to study at university. We utilise active learning, differentiation of the curriculum and assessment for learning principles in order to engage and extend students in the classroom. Inaburra has an extraordinarily strong tradition in the creative and performing arts, both in the classroom curriculum and in co-curricular activities. Our new Performing Arts Centre provides state-of-the-art facilities to support the achievement of excellence in Music, Visual Arts, Drama and Media studies. The PAC houses a number of specialist and general classrooms, including a well-equipped television studio, recording facilities, drama studio and a 650 seat auditorium. The Music and Drama programs emphasise the importance of performance for learning and our students relish the many opportunities to showcase their developing skills. There are a number of other distinctive elements to our academic program. We offer a very wide range of subjects in Years 9-12, including traditional and more progressive subjects. We teach Mandarin as a mandatory subject from K-7 and it is offered as an elective through to HSC level. In doing so..
