About Us
ACC Southlands is a Pre K-12, co-educational, Christian school located in Albany.
The school is renowned for making sure every student is well known, well loved, and well taught.
Students are nurtured by teachers who notice them, ask about their interests, listen to them, laugh with them and believe in them. Positive and authentic relationships are the bedrock of our school community.
We are committed to providing a safe, supportive learning environment. 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.
Our positive culture creates an environment where every student feels like they belong. We celebrate successes and support each other through challenges.
Kindergarten
Give your child the best start on his or her education journey by enrolling your 4 year old in our Kindergarten. Staff provide a safe and caring environment for the children and their families, where the day includes laughter, stories, games and learning. The Kindergarten program also focuses on school readiness that includes literacy and numeracy sessions, art and music sessions, and engaging in whole school activities, such as assemblies and sporting activities.
Primary
Our Primary School is a warm, caring and friendly environment where young children flourish. You'll be amazed at how much your child achieves under the care of teachers who ask about their interests and listen with a smile on their face.
The early primary years are designed to give your child a sense of progress in learning that prepares them for ongoing school success. We focus on developing rock-solid literacy and numeracy knowledge and skills. We help our students develop positive, respectful relationships and foster a culture where each child feels valued and included.
Secondary
The secondary school years are highly formative in the shaping of young people. A positive secondary experience allows students opportunities to grow, to experience success and to find belonging in their communities.
We plan for the learning success of all of our students. Our specialist teachers plan with a clear understanding of the learning process and the most effective teaching strategies for their subject area. For each year level, we design pastoral support programmes, community building activities and learning experiences that safely challenge our young people to develop and graduate as well-rounded, confident and compassionate young adults.
Character Formation
Character is something that is nurtured from a young age at ACC Southlands. The skills necessary for jobs are ever-changing, but character traits are timeless. Our students emerge from school resilient, compassionate, humble, grateful, and self-controlled.
