Learning experience

A key focus at Waterfall College is building strong partnerships between teachers, students and parents. Regular meaningful communication is an important tool in helping to support and guide students in their development.
Read moreOur Faith
Waterfall College is founded on Christian values and ethics. Students and staff embrace the belief in God the father and His son Jesus Christ, who set an example for us all to follow. Teachers model Christian values such as tolerance, kindness and respect, and weekly assemblies include a Bible reading and prayer. The Student Christian Association (SCA) gives students the opportunity to share and explore their faith, while the ‘Moms Who Pray’ play a significant role in the life of the school, as they meet weekly to pray for the needs of our community.
There is a range of academic choices available to students as they enter the FET phase (Grade 10-12) and begin to focus on their areas of specialisation.
Technology
Technology is used to facilitate learning at Waterfall College.
Classrooms are fitted with data projectors and students use Chromebooks to access the wide range of tools provided by the Google Classroom suite of apps. This enables us to continue an uninterrupted schedule when we are unable to meet on campus.
