Freshwater Christian College
Welcome
An education at Freshwater Christian College, within the beautiful tropical environment of Cairns, takes our students on a holistic journey of wonder, discovery and personal development, from Kindergarten to Year 12 and beyond. Each stage of the journey is equally important in developing a child’s mind, body, and spirit.
Our academic programs, delivered through a Christian Worldview outlook on life, develop students’ knowledge, understanding, skills and character in a wide range of curriculum experiences.
Safe, Nurturing Christian environment
Our commitment to nurturing young minds extends to creating a safe and nurturing Christian environment. Here, values such as respect, compassion, and kindness are woven into the fabric of daily life. Students learn not just to excel academically but also to be responsible and caring individuals who make a positive impact on their community.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Freshwater Christian College believes in enriching the learning journey through state-of-the-art facilities. Our Hector Costello Innovation Centre, featuring a robotics lab and engineering welding bays, provides students with immersive experiences in STEM fields.
Journey of Learning
KINDERGARTEN:
When children aged 3 to 5 enter our Cairns Kindergarten they are immediately drawn to a world of fun and play that awaits them within a warm and caring environment. Our doors are open to families from all backgrounds and we’re committed to fostering whole-child development through the joy of play-based learning.
PRIMARY:
Our Primary school provides an outstanding program for our students to grow in a safe, compassionate, and inspiring learning environment. As students navigate through Primary, we lead them towards developing independent learning skills such as researching, peer collaboration, analysis and synthesis, in order to prepare them for a successful transition into Secondary.
SECONDARY:
Over the six years of Secondary School at Freshwater Christian College, we work with our students to develop and challenge them academically, socially, emotionally, physically and spiritually, preparing them for their life beyond school.
We achieve excellent learning outcomes for our students by continually engaging in innovative practices that deliver results both in and out of the classroom. Our teachers know their students, and work with them to help ensure that they all reach their full potential.
Freshwater is ranked as one of the top-performing Cairns Secondary Schools with a growing reputation for academic excellence.
