Emerald Christian College exists to support families in the education and training of their children. The College recognises and promotes the concept that learning is a partnership involving students, parents, teachers and the community. Education plays an important role in developing and preparing children as tomorrow’s citizens, to be responsible and positively contribute to their family, community and nation.
The College is committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of its operation, continually striving to provide a caring learning environment that exceeds your expectations. We believe each child is unique and precious in God’s sight and that each member of our College staff must provide a worthy example and model for the children under their care.
