Nunawading Christian College is an independent Seventh-day Adventist co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day school, located in the Melbourne suburb of Nunawading, Victoria, Australia.

The College is part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's worldwide educational system.

Overview

[edit]

Established in 1962 as a primary school, Nunawading Christian College (NCC) consists of an early learning centre, primary school and secondary school. The College was established by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. All Seventh-day Adventist Schools in the State of Victoria form a single system with each school tied constitutionally to Seventh-day Adventist Schools (Victoria) Inc. This central organisation controls the employment of teaching staff and, through a committee, determines the distribution of financial resources between schools.

Spiritual aspects

[edit]

All students take religion classes each year that they are enrolled. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines. Instructors in other disciplines also begin each class period with prayer or a short devotional thought, many which encourage student input. Weekly, the entire student body gathers together for an hour-long chapel service. Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually oriented programming that relies on student involvement.
