Margaret Jurd College Shortland, Newcastle

News of the day:

The school has arrived!!!  For anyone who has driven past our site at Tuncurry, you would have seen great changes.  Gone is the old hoiuse and tennis court, replaced by the new campus of the Margaret Jurd College.  

Opening its doors to students at the beginning of second term in 2024, the school has taken its first enrolments of Year 9 students.  They will transistion into Year 10 in 2025 whena new cohort of Year 9 students will be enrolled.  This wil ltake the college to full capacity which is 26 students.  

We are so excited about this , not just from a church perspective but on what this school can offer our community.  Focussed solely on meeting the needs of children who have fallen through the cracks of mainstream education, the college boasts a wonderful array of social workers and case workers to support the students reach their highest potential.  Initially planned for years 9 - 10, the school realizes that each students path has, and will continue ot be unique and therefore their programmes for each child are individually tailored to that student's needs. 

Both our congregation and the college are eally excited about offering this type of education to some of our communities most fragile children. 

More information will be available through various media forums as news and developments occur.
