    St. Philip’s Christian College was founded in 1982 by the vision and efforts of the leaders and people of St. Philip’s Anglican Church, Waratah. The founders passionately believed in the need for an independent school that would develop the 'whole child' - intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually; a school that would maintain high academic and behavioural standards and at the same time effectively proclaim the liberating truth of the Christian Gospel.

    Absolutely terrible.
    The good thingsThe pay was comparable to other schools in the area.
    The challengesToxic management that seeks to build themselves up at the expense of others. The school will push your workload to breaking point and then advertise your job before you even get out of hospital. The word Christian does not reflect how the school operates.
