Alpha Omega’s core beliefs and mission are directly supported by our school motto. Belief. Action. Change.
When you have belief in yourself, you will be motivated to take action which results in you seeing change. As you can see this concept is based on a circular model. So, there is no rule telling you where you have to start and the cycle is ongoing. We believe students can carry this model with them beyond Alpha Omega and implement it throughout their lives and careers in the future,
We teach students HOW to think not WHAT to think.
We believe this kind of environment nurtures students’ mindset, mentality and hunger to learn and better prepares them for life beyond high school. The Alpha Omega true learning environment replicated an environment of how learning SHOULD be. We don’t place emphasis on school uniforms, rather we encourage students to express themselves. There are no bells signaling students to move to their next class, rather we encourage them to take control of their own learning and manage their timetable independently, Our students are on a first name basis with their teachers because we believe this creates an open mentor/mentee environment rather than an authoritarian relationship. We also provide a study lounge that students can access either for group or individual study. We encourage this kind of student centric environment because we believe a quality student is NOT the institute, any child can be a quality student with the right environment.
Our Subjects
Subject offerings are dependent on the year level of each student. We focus on the core subjects in Years 7-10 so that students have a solid base moving into Year 11 when they study the HSC subjects they have chosen. In each grade, we also offer a subject called Personal Development (PD). All classes, workshops and activities from the PD subject are about self-improvement and growth. Below is a comprehensive list of subjects by grade.
