We are promoting a valuable opportunity for you to continue your growth and profoundly impact the local community and lives of the staff and students in your care.
Araluen Christian College sits on 4 hectares of beautiful red desert bushland, influencing students, families and the local community daily. We are a learning community where parents and staff partner together. Through our formational learning approach, we help students discover and develop their gifts.

We believe that students are unique and endeavour to nurture growth, empower and protect them through biblically based curriculum. At Araluen Christian College, our teaching strategies are based on the concept of formational learning – an approach which helps students respond with their head, heart and hands. Our goal is to help them learn about God’s world and to find their hope in Christ.
