SAINT STEPHEN'S COLLEGE

Coomera, QLD

Saint Stephen’s College works to create an organisation-wide ‘modern learning ecosystem’ by employing a considered and evolving approach to all aspects of education. Its approach is receiving wide recognition, with the school invited to present on whole organisation change at a Higher Education conference later in 2017. As well as being one of 13 Microsoft Showcase Schools in Australia, Saint Stephen’s operates an Academic Advisor program that achieves strong results. Academic advisors work like fitness coaches for athletes – they help students develop effective study and work skills, time management skills and appropriate attitudes to learning and life. The school has also been a pioneer in using data to help individualise the approach to learning and was one of a handful of schools chosen by Independent Schools Queensland to help develop effective data analysis software.
