Services.

CFFS provides a full range of research-based services, from taught programs, to consultancy, to high-end research seminars, publications and degrees.

Consultancy

We realize that sometimes having a critical friend, or an outside voice, is essential to seeing clearly or bringing about change. Sometimes, it might just be mentoring a leader through a critical transition. At other times, it might be providing high level technical advice in developing a corporate strategic or business plan. CFFS can help by bring to bear its wide-ranging community of experts. Why not explore the profiles of our consultants and our consultancy services

Research

CFFS runs both general (focused) and specific (bespoke) research programs for and with schools. Focused programs operate out of a model linking human well-being and flourishing to a number of spheres of life and methological approaches. Bespoke programs are developed in partnership with schools around specific issues of interest, or the strategic foci emerging from our unique "cluster" approach to MPhil/ PhD based research programs.

Taught & HDR Programs

CFFS runs bespoke Professional Learning and accredited degree programs, which can be delivered in a number of formats. From the Master of Leadership, through the Master of Philosophy and the PhD programs in Education, the current and future leaders of future schooling can develop research-driven expertise which provides them not only with an expanded palette of skills, but intellectual leadership in bringing about change in their organizations.

We Deliver Bespoke Solutions with Strategic Impact

CFFS is about filling the gap--so evident in Australian Christian schooling--between the aspirations of schools and the supply in mission-oriented thought leadership from the Australian tertiary sector.  Our aim is to bring the "studium" to the "collegium", such that schools are active participants and locations for strategic intellectual capital formation.

Our Partners Come First

All of our solutions are particular to the school and its vision-- CFFS has a four step partnership model based on:
1. Dialogue and listening
2. Mentoring, Facilitating, Training
3. Localizing, Developing, Growing inwards
4. Propagation and Legacy.

We Strive for the Best

The first phase of Christian school growth in Australia was marked by strength in numbers but a relative weakness in reflection and research. Research-led educational practice means that consultancy, teaching, and development is always oriented towards world best practice in Christian schooling.  Of course, that practice can be a thing of the moment: that is why we are a centre focused on the future of schooling.
