Message from the CEO

There are few things more important than a great education! At Christian College we provide an enriching educational experience for young people, inspiring a love of learning and empowering them to meet the challenges of a changing world. By nurturing a student’s spirit and character we build a sense of self-worth, hope and confidence.

For more than 35 years Christian College has established a fine reputation for providing excellence in education with a desire to build strong Christian foundations in the lives of our students. Education is offered from Kinder to Year 12 across our campuses in Belmont, Highton, Waurn Ponds, Drysdale, Scotsburn and in the future, Torquay. The recent introduction of the Christian College Institute of Teaching and Learning expands our education offering to the Tertiary level.

By advertising with us, your company shares this partnership and these same goals and aspirations. I invite you to join with us during 2016 and 2017 as we look to build upon an already firm foundation.

Mr Daryl Riddle OAM Chief Executive Officer Christian College Geelong
