Our values

We are dedicated to equipping our amazing teachers with the best possible resources to achieve exceptional outcomes for our students. Our college was excited to implement the Quality Adventist Schools Framework (QASF) this year to support teachers in this way. Developed by Adventist Schools Australia (ASA), the QASF is grounded in global best practice for school improvement and fosters ongoing educational excellence within our school.

The framework is structured around four key domains: Adventist Identity, Learning & Teaching, Leading School Improvement, and Community Partnerships. These domains were crafted collaboratively by over 100 Adventist educators nationwide, and serve as foundational pillars to guide our educational practices.

Through the implementation of this Framework, we empower our school community to take ownership of the advancement of Gilson College.

The QAS Framework will:

• Build a culture of improvement and excellence.
• Provide a structure for school organisation, management and direction.
• Create opportunities for ‘Professional Conversations’.
• Focus on improving student outcomes.
• Describe excellence and share best practice ideas.
• Empower school leadership.
• Give opportunities to celebrate progress and achievement.
• Be evidence based to inform the school improvement plan.
• Identify school’s resourcing needs.
• Create evidence of meeting legislative requirements.
