Freshwater Christian College: Principal

Cairns Christian College was rebranded in November 2007 as Freshwater Christian College.  The rebranding of the College represents a new vision to provide quality Christian education to the community of Cairns.  The College seeks to partner with parents in providing an education that educates the whole person; body, soul and spirit.

Freshwater Christian College’s values are at the core of our educational philosophy.  These Christian values as a part of a quality education during these formative years add to family life and are foundational for a bright future.  They equip our young people to be trusted employees, great leaders and pivotal citizens in their community. 

Freshwater Christian College seeks to develop students to their full potential based on each individual’s ability.  Our academic programs are designed to develop basic skills, problem solving, decision making and character through Christian philosophy.  Our curriculum is built on the framework of a Biblical world view while meeting the requirements of educational authorities.

Here at Freshwater we position ourselves for the future and our passionate belief is that young people should develop and grow into healthy young men and women who will show leadership in whatever career path they choose in the future.

Our dedicated Christian staff are committed to providing support and encouragement to every student.  This is a place where the school environment is safe and compassionate and is simultaneously challenging students to learn and achieve.

Freshwater Christian College views its community as family and acknowledges and encourages parents to have prime responsibility for the education of their children.  We believe parental involvement in classroom, sporting and cultural activities has a positive impact on learning.  

If you are seeking a quality affordable Christian in safe, secure and physically beautiful environment please contact us so that we can share our vision for your child’s education with you.
