Macarthur Anglican School
Enter to Learn
Macarthur Anglican School offers a unique educational experience for every child. Our school environment is rich with opportunities, that not only provide quality academic instruction, but also help young people broaden their horizons and enrich their understanding of themselves and others.
At Macarthur Anglican School we deliver a traditional curriculum, but in a dynamic learning environment.
Facilities
Macarthur Anglican School is located on an 85 acre site in rural Cobbitty, near Camden. Students enjoy access to top class facilities including a new Integrated Studies Precinct, made up of a number of buildings housing the Sciences, Agriculture, ICT, Design and Technology, Textiles and Design, Visual Arts and Mathematics. There is also modern purpose built classrooms as well as excellent technology resources and a broad range of sporting facilities, making Macarthur an ideal learning environment for its students.
Music and Performance
Macarthur Anglican School has a well developed music program on offer to its students. In addition to time-tabled lessons, the curriculum for students from Years 3 to Year 6 features an instrumental programme. HSC Music to Extension 2 level is offered each year. School ensembles include a Symphony Orchestra, Stage Band, Concert Band, Preparatory Band, Preparatory Orchestra, Choirs and a range of smaller ensembles.
A team of visiting teachers offer instrumental tuition on site.
Christian Focus
Macarthur Anglican School is a Christian school that seeks to demonstrate God’s love for all people. Central to this is the gospel or “good news” about Jesus Christ. Christian values and attitudes are central to our School community and are integrated across our curriculum.
While many families at Macarthur are regularly involved in their own church, our school has a mixture of people from other faiths and beliefs.
The School Chaplaincy team in partnership with our Heads of House, offer support and care to our students and their families.
Go Out to Serve
Based upon the model provided for us by Christ, our students learn about service from their earliest years, which teaches them values and gives them a higher purpose in life.
Year 6 students may participate in the North Queensland Outreach each year and there is a large and active Community Service Team.
