Welcome
From the Principal

Picking a school for your child to attend is a very important decision and is one that requires confidence in ‘this school’ being the right school for your family. As you explore Toowoomba Christian College, I know you will be impressed by the robust nature of our education program, as well as the nurturing and dedicated staff community available to our students. I am also confident you will find more than you expect across both our facilities and campus.

Since its inception in 1979, the mission of Toowoomba Christian College has been to provide a Christian education that prepares students in spirit, soul and body to serve the Living God in today’s world. We recognise that each student has been made imago dei (in the image of God) and so as Christian educators, we aim to not only impart knowledge, but also help each student desire and pursue the truth and wisdom of God in their own lives.

TCC is a Christian School in the Liberal Arts Tradition. This means we’re building a community that loves learning and enjoys hard work. Recognising our dependence upon God and our place in His created order, we are relentlessly dedicated to the difficult and joyful journey of discovery, submitting to and appreciating Truth, Beauty and Goodness by engaging with the revelation of God in Scripture and nature and the story of humanity, knowing that all Truth is God’s Truth, and that all that is good is useful. We do this in a community committed to knowing and being known by one another; a community that speaks the truth in love, seeks to embolden and understand, that embraces vulnerability and pursues the Truth together.

At Toowoomba Christian College, our unique Prep-Year 12 curriculum focuses on the formation of each student. We aim to cultivate an understanding of history, an appreciation of good literature, and a love of music and the Arts, believing that each of these work toward the formation of rightly ordered loves (ordo amoris) within an individual. Beyond job-preparedness, our desire at TCC is to form young people of Godly wisdom and character, who recognise the transcendence of God’s Truth, Beauty and Goodness in the world. We are a Christian School in the Liberal Arts Tradition because we believe it to be the best educational approach to achieve this purpose.

We believe the Liberal Arts connect students to the wider story of humanity, and ultimately provides a framework for each individual to understand the world and their place in it. The pursuit of God’s truth is at the centre of our approach to education, and we believe that encountering and knowing this truth is the key to liberation for each individual. The goal of our educational philosophy is to help young people imagine the world as it should be and equip them to play their part in making that vision a reality.

If you have not already had a chance to visit TCC, I invite you to contact us to book a time to tour our outstanding College community.

God Bless
