Welcome to the Selwyn College website. I am delighted that you are interested in our wonderful school! Our mission is to develop individual excellence and creativity in a vibrant, respectful and purposeful learning community. You will see this for yourself as you explore this site.

I particularly encourage you to have a look at our 2009 Development Plan. It highlights the importance we place on ensuring that our students enjoy the sort of quality teaching and learning that enables them to reach the highest possible levels of academic success both at school and beyond.

Simultaneously, you will observe that we are pursuing the Selwyn tradition of celebrating the worth of each individual and seeking to develop their talents. We regard each student’s development of a full range of competencies, including social and emotional competencies, as vital for their futures. Hence, involvement in arts, sporting, cultural and leadership activities is strongly supported.

Likewise, we strongly support our students experiencing the joys of discovery and success in a rich and culturally diverse environment, so that they leave prepared for a lifetime of learning in a diverse and rapidly changing world.

Our students benefit from a staff dedicated to continuous professional learning and inspired to deliver high standards of professional practice. They also benefit from excellent pastoral care, numerous outstanding facilities and strong partnerships between home and school.

The responsibility of a Selwyn student is to take advantage of the learning opportunities that are available and be the best that they can be.

As we move into the future, we are serious about our intention to be the school of choice for our local community.
