...a school of the Presbyterian Church.
For many years, girls of all faiths and backgrounds have arrived at PLC Sydney’s Croydon campus excited about the possibility of shaping their future and finding their place in the community.
PLC Sydney is a school of the Presbyterian Church, and as such we celebrate our heritage alongside the breadth of tradition and culture of the Presbyterian Church in Australia.
Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.
1 Thessalonians 2:8
The Chaplains
The Chaplaincy and Christian Studies Faculty are a team of chaplains and teachers with the same desire and goal in every activity or classroom we share with students:
to provide an opportunity for every student to investigate, consider, and nurture the Christian faith, regardless of their background.
Each staff member uses their professional skills to share what faith looks like in action.
Chaplaincy Programs
Chaplains are also involved and support the PLC Sydney well-being framework.
Our Chaplains speak at assemblies and regular chapel services. Across both the senior and junior schools, Chaplains are also involved and support the PLC well-being framework.
Both the Junior and Senior Schools have Christian groups that run weekly. JAM and FUEL give students the opportunity to explore Christianity and nurture their faith.
Christian Studies
Our team aims to assist individual students’ develop and build their Christian faith.
PLC Sydney takes our twin roles of the discovery of knowledge and the growth of the person seriously. We build agency into our students in order that they take the lead in their own learning.
As a school whose values are based on a Christian worldview, some in our chaplaincy team also teach Christian Studies across our preschools, in Junior School and in our Senior School. Our team aims to assist individual students’ develop and build their Christian faith, demonstrating reverence to God, wisdom in the world and service to others.
We promote critical thinking through conversations and robust discussions. This allows for deep reflection as our students consider who they are, what they believe, and the truths by which they will live their lives.
