Manning Valley Anglican College provides co-educational schooling for students of the Manning Valley and Great Lakes, catering for the infants, primary and secondary years - Kindergarten to Year 12. We offer excellence in education within a supportive Christian environment, reflecting our heritage as an Anglican school.
Our student body has a richness and variety of talents. Academically, in the performing and creative arts, and in sport, our students are provided with the opportunity to further develop and explore these abilities. Our College is comprehensive and students are encouraged to achieve their personal excellence not only in the academic area, but on the sporting fields and in their co-curricular life.
The aim of the College is to provide the students with an education that prepares them to become successful, contributing members and leaders of the community.
The educational program is designed to equip them to accept responsibility, to develop commitment, to develop initiative, and to demonstrate sensitivity to the needs of others. The program offers them stimulation to develop intellectual curiosity, to solve problems, to think creatively and logically and to work co-operatively.
In our teaching we strive to make learning relevant to the present, but equally oriented to its use by the students in the future.
Christianity is taught as the spiritual and moral basis of life. Students are also encouraged to come to a personal faith in Jesus Christ.
