Secondary Education

Welcome to our school, where we believe that learning should be an exciting and fulfilling journey for every student.

Port Macquarie Adventist School is expanding its education offerings and now includes secondary education. Our current program offers up to Year 10.

Our secondary program is designed to provide a challenging and well-rounded curriculum that will prepare students for success in their future endeavours. We offer a holistic education that focuses on the person and academic growth of each student. Additionally, our secondary program includes a range of extracurricular activities and opportunities for students to explore their passions and interests.

We are excited to see the growth in our secondary program so that students in our highest grades can now stay at PMAS right through to the end of their schooling.

Secondary students have the opportunity to participate in carious extra-curricular activities at the school including sports carnivals and inter-school zone carnivals.

Music tuition is available for students who would like to continue – or start – learning an instrument. This is facilitated by private tutors that attend the school during the day, to save you transporting your child to music tuition after school. Costs and availability can be discussed with the tutor directly.

Wellbeing

Here at Port Macquarie Adventist School we are committed to providing quality and inclusive learning opportunities for all our students, placing a high level of importance on nurturing student wellbeing and positive mental health.

We have a strong team of experienced teachers, support staff and chaplains who take time to get to know and understand each student. They provide mentorship, guidance and foster belonging and involvement, which helps each student develop a strong sense of positive wellbeing.

The school’s therapy dog, ‘Koko’ is a valuable contributor of joy, loyalty and companionship, too. A wellbeing program is delivered across the school from Pre-Kindy to Secondary to help students manage relationships, feelings and self-care.
