About Southern Christian College
Southern Christian College is a community that provides a rich, Christ-centred education program for children from Early Learning to Year 12.
Southern Christian College was founded by the community, to serve the community.
The College was founded in 1986 by local families who wanted their children nurtured within a school environment with a genuine commitment to the development of the whole child – academic, social, emotional, physical and spiritual. They wanted their children to grow with a sure knowledge of God’s love for them, His goodness and grace and that they know they were part of a community that cared for them.
The College aimed to serve the community by raising up young people with a heart for others and a willingness to make a positive difference in the lives of those around them.
The same spirit of community and service runs through all aspects of College life today.
Our purpose is to inspire and equip students to love and serve God and His World. We do this by:
Having the gospel of Jesus Christ at the centre
Developing a caring, encouraging and dynamic learning community
Partnering with parents to nurture the development of engaged, compassionate and courageous life-long learner
Instilling hope and confidence that that we can all make a positive difference both now and as we step into the future
Through each stage of the journey, we provide an education that inspires and equips children and young people.
Learner centred
At the core of each program is the needs of the students. Through each stage of development, we begin by acknowledging the interests, skills and capabilities of the students.
Inquiry-based
Learning occurs best when students are engaged. Inquiry learning aims to connect learning to topics, questions or issues that are relevant to them or spark their curiosity.
Holistic
Across our College programs, we aim to ensure all aspects of personal growth are addressed in balance. This includes spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical development.
Strong foundations
Strong foundations in areas such as self-management, social and communication skills, literacy and numeracy development play an important role in helping ensure students are equipped to confidently meet the academic demands of school and life beyond school.
