Brindabella Christian College exists to create a community where every child is well-known, well-loved and well-taught.
Through a foundation of faith, development of devotion and a propelling into purpose, students engage in learning that inspires them to think beyond the task and grow into powerful learners. Anchored in the primary values of Respect, Obedience, Confidence, and Kindness, and enriched by the college values of Wisdom, Integrity, Service, and Excellence, both students and teachers strive to develop spiritually, academically, and socially, responding to the call of God’s Kingdom.
Our teaching team believes every child deserves to have the opportunity to build their godly potential. We take time to understand each student’s unique strengths, interests, and learning styles, ensuring that no child is overlooked or left behind. Our caring and dedicated teachers create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel valued and supported every day. Through strong relationships and partnership with parents and carers, students develop a sense of belonging that allows them to grow in confidence and character.
In the development of a Biblical foundation, students are introduced to the Christian worldview. This foundation along with a development of discipline across spiritual, academic, social and emotional areas, our primary school aims to propel students into their secondary learning with the resilience, stamina and skills needed to grow and fulfil their God given giftings – impacting our world for the better.
Within the learning program, children are challenged and supported to develop foundational and deep understandings and connections. Literacy and numeracy are a high priority and are developed across all learning areas with a comprehensive phonics program and additional, intensive support provided according to need.
The Primary School curriculum is based on the Australian Curriculum and taught from a Biblical, Christian worldview.
