Adventist Education exists because we believe in the profound love of Jesus and the hope, peace and joy that comes from knowing Him. In everything we do – from our attitudes, words, and actions – we want to reflect Jesus to our students, families and the wider community.
Gold Coast Christian College is an intentionally small, Christ-centred Kindy to Year 12 school on the Gold Coast, where children are known, cared for, and encouraged to become who God made them to be.
In our caring school community, our students discover who God made them to be, grow in skill and confidence, and prepare to bring their unique contribution to the world.
We are proud to be part of the global Adventist Education community, a worldwide network of Christian schools united by a shared commitment to faith, learning, and the holistic development of young people. While this connection gives us strong foundations and a rich educational heritage, what truly defines our College is the warmth, care, and sense of belonging you feel the moment you step onto our campus.
At Gold Coast Christian College, relationships matter. We are a connected, relational school community where students are known by name and valued as individuals. Our teachers take the time to understand each child’s strengths, needs, and potential, creating an environment where students feel safe to learn, grow, and thrive.
Our distinctives are lived out in everyday ways:
A caring and relational culture
Students are supported within a close-knit community where wellbeing, kindness, and genuine care shape daily life.
A Christ-centred foundation
Faith is woven into daily college life, guiding students as they grow in character, compassion, and purpose.
Leadership for every student
We believe every child can lead in their own way. Through heart, service, and responsibility, students develop confidence, empathy, and integrity.
Strong learning with flexible pathways
From Kindy through to Year 12, students are supported to engage deeply with learning, with pathways that recognise different interests, strengths, and career aspirations.
A holistic approach to education
Learning extends beyond the classroom through camps, outdoor education, music immersion, sport, service, and co-curricular experiences that build resilience, creativity, and confidence.
We believe that young people will truly flourish when their spiritual, mental, physical and social needs are met. We want to inspire and care holistically for each person – equipping them with the beliefs, values, and skills to live a life of purpose, hope, joy and peace as a global citizen for Christ.
Families often tell us that what makes Gold Coast Christian College special is how it feels. There is a sense of peace, joy and community on our campus. We warmly invite you to visit our college and experience for yourself what makes Gold Coast Christian College a place where your child can thrive.

Our Goal: Belong, Believe, Become
Belong - We are a school community where students feel they belong to the family of God, a safe and supportive learning environment, and to a community that provides identity and nurture.
Believe - We are a school where students grow in their faith and come to believe in Jesus Christ as their redeemer, in the importance of learning and making positive lifestyle choices, and in the value of collaboration in building harmonious communities.
Become - We are a school where students become who God made them to be, active in discipleship, worship and service for God, learners with skills and values that equip for life, and informed responsible and compassionate citizens.
Our Learning Values: Respectful, Responsible, Resilient
At Gold Coast Christian College, we guide our students in their approach to learning with three consistent learning values (3R’s) across our College.
Respectful – Students are taught to value themselves and others through words and actions.
Responsible – Students are taught to make wise choices and be accountable for their behaviour.
Resilient – Students are taught to persevere when faced with difficult situations.
