Hello and welcome to Central Queensland Christian College!

Children are a gift from God. We are dedicated to helping each child reach their potential: academically, spiritually and socially, in a safe, caring environment.

We encourage students to enjoy friends, fun, learning, and life itself.

Please consider enrolling your child and prepare them for their future.

Warmest regards,

Michael Appleton, Principal

You are invited to attend our information night this coming Wednesday the 1st of February at 7pm. There are important updates that every parent needs to be aware of. You will also be informed of what students are studying this term, homework and assignment expectations, and how to keep communication flowing between yourself and the teacher. On the social side, it’s a good time to meet other parents over great coffee and snacks. Your attendance at this event means a lot to our staff as we try to develop strong parent-teacher partnerships.

Welcome to Term 3! At our Assembly on Monday I thought everyone looked taller – I think they’ve all grown over the holidays. The school has grown in another way – we have four Korean students joining us for Term 3. We always enjoy making new friends and are glad to have another group visit.
