Overview

Christway College was founded 25 yearsChristway College was founded 25 yearsago by Kingston City Church as HeathertonChristian College. 5 Years ago anothercampus was added at Wyndham Vale. In2024 we are coming together under theone name, Christway College.We are unique in culture, with a vibrantChristian community and authentic focuson each student discovering their giftsand talents, while providing a learningenvironment to enable them to excel.

Our purpose is to provide a College environment that is safe and encouraging, reinforcing the Christian values of our parents and families. Our families benefit from a team of dedicated Christian teachers and staff who believe in developing the academic potential and character of your child with an emphasis placed on the overall wellbeing of all our students

Curriculum

Our curriculum is student-focused and meaningful learning is at the heart of all that we do. The College is committed to smaller class sizes, enabling teachers to spend more quality individual time with students. If you were to walk past any of our classrooms you would see engaged students, discussing or debating while engaging in investigative and effective thinking to problem solve and discover new solutions and concepts. Our classrooms are vibrant and exciting, while our curriculum is underpinned by a Christian world view and delivered in a warm and caring environment. We want to ensure all our students grow both academically and spiritually, reaching their full potential. We offer a wide range of subjects offered at VCE level which are tailored to the needs of our students as they prepare to graduate.

Facilities

Our facilities are beautifully presented and well resourced with modern technologies. We have wide-open learning areas for group interactions, an attractive assembly hall, multipurpose courts, a sporting oval, shaded playground area, Science labs, Visual Art Centre, Food Technology rooms, Music rooms and a fully networked Apple Mac computer centre. A gymnasium, expanded library and additional classrooms are amongst the more recent additions.

Extras

Beyond The Classroom: We provide extensive co-curricular programs for our students to expand and grow. Some of these include camps and excursions, musical productions, overseas study tours, surf rescue certificates, leadership opportunities, skiing camp, short-term overseas student exchange, lunchtime programs, student chapel service and our Year of Challenge (Year 9).

Your Invitation

Christway College is a very unique school with a true focus on helping students to grow in their Christian faith and character, to grow as learners and to develop a clear sense of their God given purpose in order to be a positive influence in the world.

As such, Christway’s Enrolment Policy reflects this focus. The Kingston campus requires that at least one parent is active in their Christian Faith, and that this is supported with a Pastoral Reference (this is a reference from a pastor, priest or minister advising that a person is an attendee at their church). The Wyndham campus encourages a Pastoral Reference.

We believe in actively living out our Christian values and partnering with parents to achieve the best possible outcome for their child’s growth and education – knowing that, this is best achieved with both parties being in agreement in values, ethos and faith.

We believe that the best way to experience what Christway College has to offer is to visit us for yourself. We would love to meet with you, show you the College and answer your questions in person.

To book a Personal Tour with us, please register here for Kingston Campus and here for Wyndham Campus.

Principal's Message

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our distinctly Christian college, where we strive to provide our students with an exceptional education while also fostering a strong sense of community and family.

At our college, we believe that a student’s education should not only be focused on academic achievement, but also on personal growth, character development, and spiritual formation. We are committed to helping our students develop a strong moral compass, rooted in the values of the Christian faith.

One of the things that sets us apart is our tight-knit community, which is built on a foundation of caring relationships between faculty, staff, and students. We take pride in getting to know our students on a personal level, and in providing them with the individual attention and support they need to thrive.

As the Executive Principal of this wonderful institution, I am committed to upholding the high standards of excellence that have become our hallmark, and to ensuring that each and every student who walks through our doors has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
