ACC Burnie is a K-10, co-educational, Christian school located in Burnie TAS.
The school is renowned for making sure every student is well known, well loved, and well taught. We want our students to know how uniquely gifted they are. Our teachers speak words of life and hope as they work with students to unlock their potential and equip them with the right skills to thrive in a technologically complex world. Positive relationships are the bedrock of our school community.
Kindergarten is the start of a new phase in a child’s life and we invite the close cooperation of parents or caregivers in educating a child.
We offer an innovative and successful program that prepares children to confidently enter their Primary school years.
Kindergarten operates 3 days a week and the class operates as a combined Kindergarten/PrePrimary class, which ensures that the children are exposed to the beginnings of Literacy and Mathematics and have the opportunity of learning from the older children.
In Primary School the academic focus is on ensuring students acquire the foundational skills of reading, writing and arithmetic.
It is a very special time in a child’s educational journey and we see it as the gateway to lifelong learning. A great experience in the first years of schooling can make all of the difference as a child develops.
In addition to our focus on teaching our students how to read and write we spend a significant portion of the day in Maths and we have a rich selection of topics in the areas of Science, History, the Arts and PDHPE.
ACC Burnie provides a well-rounded education for our secondary students. We believe that each student is unique and therefore we tailor our teaching to meet the needs of each individual.
There are opportunities for learning Maths, English, Science, Bible, Technology, History, Geography, Visual Art, HPE, Sport and Music.
Students are encouraged to take ownership of their personal technology. The school provides a commercial-grade wireless network for internet access and a range of media equipment for presentations.
In addition to academic subjects, we also offer co-curricular activities such as sports, music, and drama. We believe that these activities help our students develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our goal is to prepare our students not only for exams but also for life.
At Australian Christian College, we seek to make education accessible and convenient for families in our community. Our range of private bus routes around the Burnie area ensures that most students have a reliable and efficient way to get to school and home.
