Southern Christian College

Fantastic school. Wonderful staff. My children love school and feel very cared for and loved. A safe place for learning, beautiful grounds for play and most of all a school serving Jesus.

I have had my two Primary aged school children enrolled to start at this school for over a year while we waited for Boarders to open up during Covid. They began at SCC at the start of this academic year and I can do nothing but sing their praises. My children were allocated buddies for the first few days of school to help them get aquainted, and they both make some lovely little friends in their class. My children are so settled there and after two short terms, it feels like home. The education is fantastic and we love the IB approach to learning and the units of inquiry. We also love that our children are taught about the school's core values which alight with our beliefs as Christians. They attend fortnightly Prayer Groups and are encouraged to discuss worldly matters, making them responsible and empathetic learners. I cannot recommend this school enough!

Southern Christian College has been different for all three of my children that have attended here. But I love the way it is centred around strong values, and it takes the time to see each child where they are at. At the moment I have one child carrying out a school based apprenticeship in building, and another with the opportunity to be advanced in his Maths up a grade level. SCC does want each child to reach their potential whatever that may be, wherever that may be. I am glad our children have had great mentors that have cared for them and have seen them, their interests, their skills and talents. Highly recommend.

Only chose one cause zero is not an option. Please don’t send your child/children to this school. They sweep physical and psychological bullying under the rug. They don’t practice what they preach. Bunch of hypocrites. Wasn’t until I got a higher authority involved that they took my complaints about bullying seriously. Not even the governing body of the school could be bothered to reply to my emails. And after that happened my child and I were ostracised. Office staff are rude and always look unhappy. The school prides themselves on looking after their own. If you don’t belong in their circle you are on the outer. My child has ongoing trauma from the bullying at this school. And I know all schools have bullies but they let bullies physically harm my child but didn’t take it seriously because the so called family of this bully was a financial benefactor of the school. So money comes before children’s safety. No duty of care for the children at this school. Don’t expect your children to get awards. These always always get given to children of office staff, teachers etc. So if you don’t want your child to be mentally and physically scarred for life please I beg of you as a parent who has a child with anxiety related trauma from incidents at this school do not send your child/children to this school.

All of my children attended here some from the start of high school and one from grade 1. We have been involved for 10 years. Teachers have been helpful towards my family, encouraging to my children- we moved from a state school to this christian school and never looked back. Any concerns we have had have been addressed promptly and effectively. The leadership are kind, compassionate, fair and accessible to parents. Discussions are encouraged to help the students thrive. I have seen staff do extraordinary things to help the friends of my children through their personal struggles. My children were able to excel here and we are very thankful for Southerns influence in their lives.

Both of our (now adult) children went to this school from start to finish. Staff have a genuine care for students and go above and beyond. Much more than just a good education, our children have learned how to learn and respect for others. This school makes a lot of effort to delivery on what they say they do, working with us, the parents.

After moving from Qld last year, SCC came highly recommended by our new neighbours. It was evident at the school tour that there was a strong community and family focus and we felt at home right from the start. Moving interstate was a very big change for our family and being part of this school has given us a sense of belonging and has helped us to put down roots here in Tassie. We have experienced firsthand the genuine love and care that all of the staff have for the children, and the support and encouragement that the children receive on a daily basis goes above and beyond. Every single child is valued equally and given opportunity to grow in every area of their life. We have now been at the college for over a year and feel very privileged to be a part of the SCC family.

after coming here i don't even have the strength to write a whole review about this school, highly hypocryticle, very biased, don't like you if your not christian, make you feel bad for not being religious, teachers do everything to benefit themselves, P.E teacher is highly unproffesional, only kids of teachers get rewards and kids in charge are those of teachers. don't send your kids here, i'm only here to finish my last year. quite a few teachers are actually very good and fun but the leadership team is shocking and they should be ashamed.

Was good with the original principal, he pushed me to reach goals in music but that's the only good thing this school had to offer. iB is a waste of time favours the academics over everyone else. And not to get religious but lots of teachers and students alike gave me a hard time because of my music taste saying Christians shouldn't listen to metal and rock. Should have expected as much seeing as the school leaned very heavy on pentacostal beliefs rather than being open and well rounded to all types of Christians. Had good and humble beginnings it's a real shame where the schools gone

My children have attended and they have been thriving. The school has solid Christian values. The staff are helpful and friendly. Well recommended!
