Barker College

About Barker College

At Barker we have maintained a passion for teaching and learning for 125 years. We pride ourselves on the special School Community that exists – the sense of closeness and inclusiveness that parents and students alike come to value and appreciate about the School. Here at Barker every student is made to feel special because we value him or her for the unique individual he or she is. As Head of School, Mr Phillip Heath, highlights "it is extremely important to remember that all experiences we provide here at Barker College pre-eminently should be about education. All that we do must reflect our Values and our Mission: To inspire and to show commitment, compassion, courage, integrity and respect under God". Our teaching staff is particularly well qualified and the School Council invests heavily in their continuing education. Many of them are lifelong learners, undertaking additional study including the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Teaching for Understanding.
