Welcome to Staines
Our Mission
'To Provide a Distinctly Christian Education'
Our desire is to partner with families in providing a holistic education based on the Biblical worldview in which the hearts and minds of young people can grow and pursue their full potential for God.
Our Vision
Grow in Faith
For every student to pursue a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and develop a Biblical Worldview through which they make sense of their world.
Grow in Learning
For every student to strive for their personal best and take ownership of their learning. For every student to achieve at least one year’s growth in learning every school year, regardless of their starting point.
Grow in Character
For every student to develop thoughtfulness, self-discipline, and personal responsibility, and demonstrate the lifelong character qualities of the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
The Staines Legacy
As a College, we seek to continue the ethos of the Staines family through providing holistic Christian education, and by developing a culture of service to others.
A Legacy of Service
Our College is named in honour of the Staines family. Graham Staines and his sons, Philip and Timothy were killed in 1999 serving God in the poor and rural areas of India. Gladys Staines and her daughter Esther continue to serve the Lord.
We are honoured to have Gladys Staines visit our college when she can. We recently interviewed Gladys to learn more of her story.
