About ACC Marsden Park
ACC Marsden Park is a K-12, co-educational, Christian School, located in the thriving North West corridor of Sydney, in a semi-rural setting which is experiencing sustained growth and is targeted for fast-tracked development.
We currently have over 1300 students learning with us on-campus and over 700 students learning via our Distance Education program. We are actively growing and have a strategic plan in place for our exciting future.
About our Culture
ACC Marsden Park has a College-Wide Teaching and Learning framework that is built around three "Signature Pedagogies". We prioritise Explicit Direct Instruction, Specific Targeted Feedback, and Thinking Through Writing as pedagogical approaches that develop deep learning.
Our pedagogical approach has been informed by Cognitive Load Theory and has been influenced by the thinking of Hollingsworth and Ybarra in "Explicit Direct Instruction," Lemov in "Teach Like a Champion," and Hochman and Wexler in "The Writing Revolution." We also draw inspiration from Michaela Community School in London.
Our staff are supported by an in-house pedagogical coaching team, and with an open professional learning culture where staff learn with and from each other by dropping-in to each other's classes, and by offering and receiving feedback. The College invests in creating a technology-infused educational ecosystem to support effective learning of students and teachers.
We are praying for the right people to come and join our team and encourage you to learn more about our College to see if you might be a good fit for our vision and culture.
