Christian Life   The Director Role

+ In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, One God Amen. +

St. Mary & St. Mina's Coptic Orthodox College is an extension of the educational role of the Church. This function first commenced when the school of Alexandria was started in the first century.

His Holiness Pope Shenouda (III), Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the Sea of St. Mark, the 117th successor of St. Mark, leads the Church in meeting its educational responsibilities.

As government schools have become increasingly secular, Christian parents and Church leaders have realised the need for Christ-focused education that helps counter the effects of an increasingly secular and sometimes anti-Christian society.

Philosophy of Education: "Fullness of Knowledge is Christ"

Christian Community Schools are Christian-teaching communities where the Church, parents and teachers share in the task of helping students to develop into model Christian adults. grow up into our Lord Jesus Christ in all areas of life. Christian Community Schooling is based on a Biblical understanding that God is our Creator and our Saviour. He calls us to turn away from the empty way of life followed by secular people and to live as God's people for His praise and His glory, fulfilling the purposes for which He created us.

St Mary & St Mina's Coptic Orthodox College's program focuses on aims to centre or focus the life and program of the College on our Lord Jesus Christ, accept His Lordship over all areas of life, and seek to integrate the truth revealed in the Holy Bible in all that it teaches. according to the school's motto "Fullness of Knowledge is Christ.", St Mary & St Mina's Coptic Orthodox College believes pecifically rejects as unbiblical the division of life into the sacred and secular areas, and assert that an education not centered on our Lord Jesus Christ, or one that excludes the Holy Bible, is a distorted education.
