St Philip's is a Uniting Church co-educational day/boarding college for students in Years 7 -12. With strong academic excellence and a widely accredited Outdoor Education and Performing Arts program, St Philip's College provides opportunities for your child that will endeavour to develop their individuality, strengthen leadership skills and create a well rounded individual, prepared for life after school. COLLEGE VISION: To be a world class school community that excels at: Striving, Seeking, Caring GENERAL INFORMATION A vibrant community characterised by the diversity of students' backgrounds and aspirations, St Philip's is renowned for its diversity of programs and opportunities. The student body reflects Alice Springs' multi-cultural mix of people, most of whom have come from somewhere else. Their families include scientists, linguists, teachers, nurses, tradespeople, sociologists, anthropologists, palaeontologists, computer experts, defence personnel and a large American community servicing the US-Australia joint defence force facility at Pine Gap. Conscious of its geographic isolation St Philip's works hard to ensure this is not a limiting factor for its students. From Years 7 to 12 students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities and opportunities which broaden their horizons. Students are encouraged to strive for academic excellence and results obtained by the graduating class of 2013 reflect this. St Philip's graduates attend universities in all Australian states and the US, qualified to study everything from medicine to outdoor education, music to information technology. http://www.stphilips.nt.edu.au
