Each of our students has a limitless number of leadership opportunities during their journey through secondary school. We have three key areas of student leadership that develop our students' agency, voice and professional skills. These are:
- Student Representative Council
- School Captains and Prefects
- House Captains
Students can apply to be SRC members from Year 7 and have the opportunity to attend a variety of professional leadership courses. We also prioritise student leadership in our assembly and chapel programs. Our student leaders demonstrate what it means to proudly represent our school to the community and other schools at functions throughout the year.
The future is what we make of it and we know that with the right skills and learning moments, our students can achieve anything they are willing to work for. From Years 9-12, we prioritise the knowledge and understanding of how the world works and how our students can actively seek out inspiring work opportunities.
We are involved with the North West High School Sporting Association (NWHSSA) and compete in basketball, futsal, cross country and athletics throughout the year. NWCS are also involved in competitions with other Christian Schools competing in sports such as Futsal, Cross Country and Swimming.
Adventist National Games are happening between the 4th and 9th of September. We combine with Hilliard Christian School and take basketball teams to Avondale University to compete with other Adventist schools from across Australia.
