Introduction to Brindabella Christian College, Canberra

Vision Statement

The vision of Brindabella Christian College is to advance a community of Wisdom, Integrity,

Service and Excellence in and through Christian Education.

Background

For over forty years Brindabella Christian College, formerly the O’Connor Christian School, has

provided a holistic approach to education based on Christian values and beliefs.

Preparing young people in a changing world which can be volatile, uncertain, complex and

ambiguous, demands that the significant adults in a young person’s life lead and learn alongside

them with purpose, compassion and humility. The College seeks to actively influence the lives

of a greater number of young people. It believes that the most authentic way of achieving access

to those students is via the offering of a high-quality, excellent education program. This is the

core business of Brindabella Christian College.

The College supports Christian families, and those supportive of the Christian worldview, to raise

their children in a safe and caring environment. The school aims to partner with parents in the

education of their children, supported by Christian staff.

The College is a member of Christian Schools Australia, and the Association of Independent

Schools, ACT.
